The night was getting darker, the figure of a tall adult man was waiting for someone to come at the table of one corner of the room of a night entertainment club, he waited for the little girl who might be half-running to get to the spot, where he was waiting for her.
"Huh.huh.. I'm sorry, Alan, I'm late." said Karin, gasping in haste, breaking into people dancing under the deafening thump of dj music. The distance of the parking lot from the club was quite far especially Alan booked a private room, so Karin was so overwhelmed looking for his figure.
"Hm, it's sitting down." he said so coldly, then casually poured wine into a mini-sized glass, two glasses of wine that he thrust right in front of Karin.
"The company I drink with." he said as an order, neither a reproach nor a rejection.
Karin sighed, then looked at the glass before her for a moment, That doubt is what she felt. If it wasn't him, who was Alan's escape when frustrated, if he could just calm down a little.
"Drink Kar." Alan and Karin immediately gasped, then took the glass containing the wine and gulped.
A sense of warmth immediately spread in the neck, especially the air is cold.
Alan was still silent, playing his flat. Karin feels confined not because she is in the same room as Alan but rather Alan's cold attitude that makes it look like she is in the wrong circle.
Regretfully, maybe Karin regretted coming to this place.
Then casually Alan thrust a flat object, showing a photo on his phone screen.
Karin's eyes were perfectly rounded, "What do you mean, Alan?"
Alan smiled smrik, "You like him, too," casually Alan made a statement even though it was real.
"Kar Jawab, why? I just want you to keep him away from Nora." he said in a landslide.
Waiting for Karin's answer, Alan again poured the wine and gulped it down.
His eyes could not be seen Karin who currently looked nervous. Exhaling a rough breath, Alan then advanced his face, now clearly visible Karin lowered her head while squeezing the dress.
"Heh, I'm just asking you to get him away from Noraku." Alan repeated.
"I-yes, sister, I'm trying, I'm going to try to get Devano's love, I'm going to take him from Nora." And that answer managed to make Alan carve a smile.
"I'm waiting for the result, you know Kar! I don't like failure. It works or I'll make Devano disappear from the face of this earth." Break it with a wide grin.
"I'll make sure it works, no matter what!" karin replied, not because he was protecting Devano, but because Karin herself was obsessed with the handsome guy.
"Sister, we're going home" he asked, but it seemed that Alan was reluctant to get out of place.
"I'm afraid my mom is angry" said Karin, crouching her dress. Seeing Karin's uneasiness, Alan stood up to put his flat object in his pants pocket, then reached out to the girl.
"I'll drive you home."
Karin got up and walked out of the room with Alan. "Wait here, let me pay first." Alan left Karin alone, the bustling atmosphere of the club made Karin shudder at once. He's not used to things like this other than Alan's request.
Some of the young men stared at him with a wide grin, feeling that there was a prey, one of them even approached Karin who stood waiting for Alan.
"Hay beautiful, play yuk." seduced one of the boys, approaching Karin. Karin puffed up, then as the young man's hand tried to grab his hand, he dodged.
"Ceh, expensive sell-off, come on, we're party." take her again like not giving up on teasing Karin.
"Go no!" karin's orders put up protection. However, not stopping the young man even grinned widely while hinting at his friends to get closer.
Karin tried to let go of the hand, when the guy managed to block his wrist but nil, his strength was nothing.
"Let go, toll.." the pekik looked down.
"Bugh. bugh.. bugh.." Alan spurned the men, "You don't papa?" alan asked when he managed to get the people away, his face was worried about Karin.
Karin shook her head, then hugged Alan so tightly.

Devano actually learns after delivering Nora home, a promise he makes to Nora that he will seriously learn to marry her. Devano even ignored the message of his school's watshapp grub who was busy talking about it.
Devano clucked resentfully, when Notif group message continued to sound, who else was the riotous culprit of the group if not Abiyan.
"Oi was very quiet this class group was already rich in graves." Abiyans
"Basic Singles, mostly halu wlekk." Abiyans
"Whisper you on, hmm? the work's mace." Clara
"Devano where yes, busy courtship hiks times, the child forgets our ma-we singles." Abiyans
"Geez, Clar! fuckboy you tuhhhh, hempas." Alphin
"Don't forget the kids, we learn." Eryan
"Eh there's a ketuahh sir." Abiyans
"Dev, Dev appears." Alphin

"Ck!" Devano clucked, while reading one-on-one group messages on his phone, reluctant to respond to the completeness of the class children.
While Nora, laying her body on the bed, her eyes stared straight at the ceiling of the room. When he was alone, he remembered his mother and father at home. Missing the warmth of his family used to be excruciating.
"Mama." she said as she stared at the ceiling, "Sorry for disappointing you, not being the way you wanted to be! I just don't want to fall into the arms of a man like Alan." Nora muttered, she tried to close her eyes, but couldn't.
It's been two hours, and Nora keeps moving on the bed, it's hard to close her eyes. Though tomorrow he had to leave in the morning to the office of his father Devano, he shuffled out of bed, looking for something he could eat in the refrigerator, then sighed softly. Looks like he'll have to shop tomorrow for his fridge stock, lucky there's still snacks and bread for tomorrow.
Nora then took a snack, and a cold drink then chose to relax for a moment on the balcony of the room.
City lights, charming from above. The breeze of the night wind blew against his smooth skin.
"If I get married, will this loneliness disappear, can I feel the warmth of a real family?" muttered Nora, as she stuffed the snack into her mouth, flinched with a video call on her phone.
"Mama." she was so happy, and she immediately picked up the video call.
"Hallo, ma." said Nora with a smile on her face.
"Hallo dear, miss mama" said Kenia across there with her own eyes.
"Nora's kangen too, ma! I mean, I mean, I'm really with mom." Her tears began to flow into the river.
And when Kenia turns the camera towards Shaka, Nora can't stand it anymore! Her tears shed for a moment.
"Papa." he said slowly, Shaka who had been deliberately not staring also finally turned his head.
"What ? papa's favorite dissident son." Shaka across the street, Nora cried.
"Go home, boy! Don't cry rich little boy. It's not good to live alone, it doesn't make you marry Alan anymore." said Shaka seriously, Nora's crying increasingly broken hearing Shaka's speech.
"Papa really?" Nora's eyes were crying but her lips were carving a smile, between happy and moved.
Shaka nodded, and now his phone screen became the face of his mom and dad.
"Uuuww, dear you" said Nora. And even Kenia could not hold back her tears.
"Udah ya nambeknya," said Kenia, Nora nodded.
"I'm definitely going home, I'm closing up, mom, bye mommy."
"Dear, sleep and good dreams."
Nora nodded, "Greet Zain" he said again before hanging up.
Only then did Nora cry out so badly, unable to bear to look at the faces of her parents wanting to run and hug them immediately.
*In the end, we'll understand..
No matter how far we go, wherever we go, our family is where we come back..
