For the first time Tomy has set foot in Singapore. Lifting his bag with a smile. The excitement of foreigners transiting at the airport made him amazed to look towards the surrounding.
There was a woman who had white hair, had blue eyes, her skin was pale white. There was also a tall dark-skinned man, there was even a blond man with a large athletic body, fine hairs on his chin, brown eyes that were staring intently, and, like the Hollywood movie star he often watched from the foundation TV. His eyes were not tired of being amazed by the circumstances around him.
Similarly, in an oncoming car, the teenager who had just set foot overseas, was unceasingly looking out the window.
"You happy?" the owner of the foundation who was in one car with him smiled.
"Yes, thank you for taking me, I don't know where else the foundation will be closed" he replied with a smile.
"But to the end your parents weren't looking for you. Are you disappointed?" the owner of the foundation asked again.
The teenager lowered his head, "No, they are happy, so I must be happy too" he smiled, turning to the owner of the foundation.
***
A three-story building is seen, Tomy getting out of his car, helping foundation owners carry their belongings. His eyes looked around observing his new residence.
A wide area like loby is visible, some people go back and forth, from foundation employees, permanent donors, to moving asset managers from the foundation.
Assets moving? Some independent foundations sometimes do not only rely on donors. But have their own business that can finance the operations of their foundation.
Large boards were also seen there, photographs from branches of their foundations in other countries, even remote areas. Helping the cost of labor, financing the education of poor students, even holding a foster parent system (Where one donor finances education and the cost of living a child cannot afford. However, it is still under the supervision of the child's parents).
"Tomy, your living expenses from a small use the foster parent system, you know?" ask the owner of the foundation. Replied with a nod by Tomy.
"The person who gave you the donation never sees you because he's the foundation's biggest donor. The child cannot afford to donate too much, not all can be seen by him. It's a good fortune that he's here now, you better thank him" he continued.
"Where is he?" Tomy scrunched his forehead.
"Area practices judo.." The owner of the foundation thins his lips to hold his laugh.
The sweat of a teenager poured out, his cold face was seen slamming his endless match practice.
White clothes on his face, his hair wet with sweat. One more person climbed onto the arena, with two movements of that big-bodied person collapsing by him.
"Cool..." Tomy stared in admiration from afar, behind the foundation owner.
"Next..." Ayana said with a smile, giving the command to train the son, who had only two years adopted, to go up to the arena.
Just like before, a new fight began, but less than 30 seconds of the opponent had collapsed.
I can't take it anymore, I want to serve the lady, pedaling the bike more fun... But how could I disappoint my foster mother... Farel endured his fatigue that had been fighting for more than three hours.
"Lumayan, next..." Ayana smiled back. However, his son's battle training was over.
"Why not yet advanced as well, you quickly advanced." continued Ayana pointed to Tomy, thinking the teenager was the next match practice.
"Me?" Tomy scrunched his forehead.
"Yes you." answered Ayana with confidence.
"I'm sorry, he's this." The foundation owner was about to explain.
"Is he on a higher level than Farel? It's okay, Farel has to learn a lot, before staying at her grandfather's house later this month." Ayana replied pulling Tomy without waiting for an explanation.
"Wait, I.." new Tomy will say, he's been pushed up the arena.
His hands trembled, cold sweat pouring down his temples, staring at teenagers who might be his age. White teenager, with hair drenched in sweat, beautiful face, cold, creepy.
Gawat a kung fu swordsman, no, it's his mother's fault Japanese, he's a member of a Japanese gangster huh... Tomy was terrified considering the previous two opponents who were defeated so easily.
"Hi, how're you today? (hi, how are you today)" Tomy waved her hand, smiling awkwardly. But the young man was silent.
Maybe he's a malay.
"Sir said Tomy trained you to fight. But Tomy didn't want to (The aunt said Tomy trained your match but Tomy didn't want to).." Tomy's words stopped, the young man in front of him stared saturated with horses.
He talks too much, I'm tired, I want to go home soon.
Tomy tried to put the horses following the movements of the teenager in front of him. His legs trembled, several times preparing to change the position of his hands.
Farel was still silent waiting for Tomy's move."I'm warning, I can use the most powerful style so that I can not be hurt at all against you." said Tomy sure.
Potent moves... Farel was watching closely.
"Well..." Tomy moved quickly towards Farel. Farel had prepared to move his horses to repel the attack, while taking down Tomy.
But unexpectedly, Tomy's footwork turned to escape, "Help me...!!" he said he got off quickly from the arena of fear.
Everyone fell silent including Ayana who was initially curious about Tomy's style.
"In... he ran away? Step by a thousand...?" Farel laughed loosely over the judo arena watching his opponent escape.

A few tens of minutes later, the room of the foundation owner...
"I'm sorry I misunderstood you, I thought you were training my son." said Ayana smiling kindly.
"It's okay, I'm the one who should thank you for giving me so much help..." Tomy exhaled a rough breath, a smile slowly etched on his face.
His mother was like Japanese, the English and Malay did not say, meaning Japanese.This time Tomy who can only speak a little Japanese began to recklessly.
"Hajimemashite, watashi wa Tomy desu." she reached out to Farel who was sitting opposite her.
Farel's eyes stared intently at Tomy, as if unwilling to say.
Is he Chinese? He's like he has Chinese blood.sial I can't speak Mandarin.Inner, Tomy just bowed to twist his fingers.
"My name is Farel," Farel turned the other way, "Tomy better get your zipper up." he said awkwardly.
"It turns out that Indonesian," Tomy sighed, but only realized the word 'resort', "Sorry," he said trying to raise the zipper trousers.
Today is really shit!! I was embarrassed, really embarrassed, I wanted to hide myself under the covers. No, it's underground...

Tomy is still in SMU (Senior High School), while Farel who has several class jumps is still in S1. Their schools and colleges are across.
Comfortable, that's how Tomy feels to get along with people who come from the same country as him. Until he often visited the campus where Farel studied. The same age, but Farel who got a strict upbringing from his adoptive father was on a different level.
"Two cups of coffee latte." he said return the menu book on waiters.
"May I arranged your order, two cup cake, and two cups of coffee latte." the waiters confirmed.
"Right.." he replied, as the waiters stepped away.
"I have no money, why order two..." Tomy whispered awkwardly.
"I paid for it..." Farel answered with a smile.
Tomy glanced at Fatel's appearance from top to bottom, sighing harshly, "You just came from practicing judo, how can you bring a wallet?" tanyanya.
"It can still be paid via transfer. There's something I want to talk about, I have a plan to set up a company. Investors, start-up capital, long-term business plans already exist. But only one is lacking, a confidant." said Farel full of smiles.
"Easy your father has many acquaintances graduates talented people, ask him for help..." Tomy exhaled a rough breath, along with the arrival of their food and drink.
"I want to recruit you, be my confidant. I'll pay for your college, and help you achieve your dreams" Farel began to sip a cup of coffee in front of him. Look expectantly at the creature before him.
"Why choose me?" tanyanya did not understand.
"Smart people are many, but loyal people to people who are compassionate to them are few. Most people will be greedy, biting the hand of the one who feeds it." he replied ambiguously.
"meaning?" Tomy did not understand.
"The first time you met, you were reluctant to refuse to fight with me because of my mother's request to donate money to you, right?" farel's question was answered with a nod by Tomy.
"I've been begging my father to support the cost of your education and your life. So forever you have to be loyal to me." he continued.
"If I'm not ready?" tanyanya.
Farel glanced at his coffee cup, smiling, "A talented person who doesn't want to join you, will gradually become a dangerous enemy. What if I went on a vacation to Japan with me, my grandfather happened to be teaching me to use a firearm" he said ambiguously.
A firearm? He wants to make me a target for a shooting drill? Quiet Tomy with no experience, this rich young master in one year the company he built will go bankrupt. Your life will be free of it. Tomy murmured in his heart.
"I'm coming, I'm willing to be your confidant." he replied, forced to drink two sips of coffee."By the way, what is your goal in setting up the company?" continued.
Farel paused for a moment, "Do you ever want something higher than you. Something you can't reach?"
"I was once, I was only the adopted daughter of Lady Ayana. I was a servant's foster son. I liked my master's daughter, but my mistress said I wouldn't be able to make her happy. I want to have my own company, so that when applying for it later can lift my face, showing I can make it happy..."
Tomy nodded. From the bottom? Struggling to be recognized? Broadly speaking their lives were the same, a similar dream, something that made his heart sincerely melt. Especially considering Ayana who had been giving it and her mother just help to survive.
"Our dreams are the same. I promise to help you with all my heart. We will rule the business world...!!" determination excited.
"True, we collect a lot of money..." Farel smiled, quickly finishing his coffee.
"You know my dream is to propose to someone I like. Then show my parents that I'm not a troublesome kid..." Tomy expressed all her ideas.
"Good ideals..." Farel smiled, while finishing up Tomy's remaining half-cup coffee.
***
A few years later, there was a serious conversation between Clarissa and Tomy....
"The first time we met, he freaked me out. After that, it financed my entire life. That's why I won't be able to get away from a stingy boss like him." he muttered.
Clarissa exhaled a rough breath, still thinking Tomy was her cousin."How much do you owe, I'll repay Farel and his family!!"
Tomy clenched his forehead, "Can't I owe them my life..."
If I don't get help from the foundation, maybe I who was born prematurely will be abandoned by my mother...
If there is no Farel, then neither does JH Corporation, where I am raising money to prove I am not a troublesome child nor does it exist. Maybe I can't even raise money to make a big house for our tender girl and dozens of child-to-be...
Your smile is like a moon rising slowly up into the sky... Stay wedding and luxury Ferry, then I'll see you...
