"Possibly we won't be able to see you again. I'm going home to my grandmother's house. Grandma is old and she wants me to be with her". Dera said with a serious face.


Dennis was still stunned to hear Dera's words.


"Only I'm going home. You stay here because of work. But you'll also be home if you get a leave of absence." Continues.


"How long? Keep up your work?" Ask Dennis.


"I don't know how long either. If it's about work, I can apply for a job at the puskesmas near my grandmother's residence" he said. "And also in my grandmother's residence the signal is very bad so it's possible we can not communicate" he continued. Dennis was shocked to hear those words.


"So we lost contact dong, and it's also not known for how long." Dennis says.


"Yes. No papa, right? It's also for my grandmother's sake" said Dera. Dennis was silent again.


"I'll always be here" Dera said again, pointing at Dennis' chest. "You will always be in my heart. As long as we love each other, despite being far apart but our hearts will always be close together" Dera said, calming Dennis's grief.


Indeed, Dennis' mother told Dennis to end the relationship with Dera, but Dennis did not expect that soon Dera left him. Although it does not mean they break up, but do not meet for a long period of time and there is no communication, it is tantamount to breaking up.


Dera smile. With her smile it was as if she wanted to say that nothing had happened in her. And with that smile he wanted to convince Dennis that everything was going to be okay.


"I love you sincerely too. You were my first love too. And may you also be my last love." Dera took a deep breath. "Your name will always be present in my prayers. The hope of our relationship will always be my request to the Lord in my prostration." Once again Dera smiled. His eyes looked at Dennis's. The eyes of the man who had melted his heart.


So did Dennis, staring intently at Dera's eyes, the girl who had filled the space in his heart for the past few months.


"I'll drive you. What are you going on board? Bus, train or plane?" Dennis said while holding Dera's hand.


"No need. Just focus on your proposal. I can go alone. I'll let you know when I'm close to my village. If my phone is not active means I have arrived at the location" said Dera.


"I've brought you home now." Dera nodded as well. Holding each other's hands they headed to the parking area.


After Dennis left, Dera immediately went into his room. He could no longer hold back tears. Cry broke. Now he really can't hide his sadness of having to part with his lover. In his mind was his late mother, his tired working father and his mother Dennis.


Dennis's mom?? Is there a connection today with Dennis's mother??
