"Lah lo Sob, why didn't you say it was here? if from yesterday you said I would definitely try to meet you, man!."

"Sorry, bro, I didn't say seriously I forgot! anyway here I am not a holiday but nganterin Reval yesterday basketball game in Manchester city representing Indonesia and Alhamdulillah is the winner."

"Owhh yeah? so he was the winner of yesterday's game? it's a pity that I didn't come, even though Nana's friend went there."

"Lo mah so busy benget bro, owh huh? how did I not see Nana? I forgot she's a teenager now, surely her face has turned into a pretty girl."

"Yes dong he's my son must be beautiful, anyways I'm sure Nana will be happy if you guys know what else there is Reval he must be very happy, you are late ah!."

"Heheh sorry bro, I'll tell you again if you go to London, we make a surprise for our children later okay."

"Good idea, I'm waiting for the good news, man."

"ready bro, I'm closing Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam sob."

"Daddy!!!." Shouted Nana while hugging Aidan from the side who was holding the phone.

Well, it was Ab who called Aidan and told him he was in London yesterday for three days. Ab really forgot his friend on this one. Aidan who heard the voice of his best friend was so happy, 11 years they had not greeted each other, only through chat they reported it was rare.

Aidan is also delighted to hear that Reval has won a Basketball game this year, but he is also sad to not be able to meet them. what else he desperately wants to give his beloved Princess was a surprise with the arrival of Reval to London.

"Daddy! who was the same phone call?" Nana asked as she picked up the jar that was on the table and placed it on her smooth thigh.

"That's dear Daddy you're taking off your misses with his best friend." Gina's new chirps came while putting a tray containing warm drinks for them.

"Owh yeah? who's Daddy?" Ask Nana.

Aidan glanced at his daughter and stroked warmly Nana's long hair "Om Ab." The answer is casual, he knows that Nana will definitely be surprised but all this time Aidan never hide anything from his beloved family.want big problems or even small Aidan always tell a story.

Degs...

Instantly Nana sat up straight stop chewing staring at Aidan who was beside her with a "Serious Dad?" Nana said while looking at Aidan.

Aidan and Gina know the feelings of the youngest child, he always tried to be strong in front of them but in fact he was fragile, Nana always tried to accept the reality but actually it was a very difficult thing for her and they knew that all this time Nana was just looking for her own entertainment.

"Dear, they said they're sorry for you, Daddy, Mom and Brother they forgot to call us, because they're not on vacation but taking Reval to a fight baby." Obviously Aidan while gently rubbing Nana's long hair.

Degs...

Reval's? Reval coming? but why didn't he call me? why val why? don't you miss me, Val?. Nana was overwhelmed with a thousand questions.

"You know, honey? Reval is the winner of yesterday's game, this year's basketball game baby! yesterday he who won it brought trophies and pride to Indonesia." Aidan continued while looking at Nana,

Degs...

"That means yesterday Reval came to Manchester City Dad?" Lirih Nana, he could not hear everything. Gina got up from her seat and sat right beside Nana she held her two shoulders while giving her spirit.

"Yes baby! didn't you meet Aunt Anita?." Mom asked as she gently rubbed Nana's hand.

Nana shook her head "Are they still here Dad?" Ask Nana seriously.

"Darling! they're sorry they came back to Indonesia this afternoon." Aidan replied with a smile.

Clear circles escaped from his eye patch "Why Dad? why at the time Nana wanted to meet him, but, but God seemed not to allow her to torment him.." Nana said in between her cries. Gina swiftly hugged her youngest child.

"Darling, I'm sure God has planned better than this, son!." Said Aidan trying to give understanding to Nana.

Nana smiled at the knot "Iya Dad, it's true that Dad is right! God must have planned the best for Nana, But when was Dad?!!, Mom when?!!! Nana's been waiting for this for a long time! Nana's been waiting for Reval, Nana misses her Mom Hiks..Hicks.." Nana ran up the stairs to her room.

"LATIN!!!" Shouted Gina, Aidan who saw that rubbing his face rough, he himself was confused by this state.

"Darling, I'm afraid Nana's why-why." Gina said with a typical worried tone of a mother.

Aidan approached and hugged her "You don't have to worry baby, she's grown up! already can conclude everything well. trust me equally well." His words calmed the wife of Gina nodded.

Nana opened the book, and she recalled the boy's words 'If you miss me, if you are sad, if you are angry, if you are crying, if you are disappointed, you can write everything here, reveal everything here, pour it all out here, put it all out here, make this book a place to share and a place to tell your stories, so make it a place to share, suppose you are sharing and telling me.'

That said, Nana missed her so much, The clear circle fell right on that blank sheet, long time no open his finger lentik it berahan move with his black pen he wrote and poured out all his.

God, I miss her

I want to meet you, please,

I want to meet, please,

I want to hug her, though,

I want to enjoy my time with him again,

I want to go back to hearing that voice, though,

I want to see his face back, though,

The face I don't know what it looks like, now,

How are you doing? wh why? why didn't you tell me?

Why don't you come here for a while?,

I'm sure you also feel the way I feel right now. Sick, disappointed, sorry all become one.

I will always remember you, remember all our memories, remember all our silly things, remember how we let go of each other.

Reval! I miss you.

_o0o_

In Indonesia the same situation as in London, the young man looked upset and disappointed, after hearing Ab's explanation, Reval regretted his desire to return to London to haunt him and to meet someone he had waited years for, years he had longed for years he dreamed of being together again.

Ab and Anita are also like a married couple who are now in London they also regret not contacting Aidan's family from the beginning, Nana and Reval did not have contact with each other, he said, they themselves are confused as to why they can last contact.

their last contact during Junior High 1, when Nana's phone was stolen people, making him lose contact with all his friends including Reval's contacts.

"Dad, why did you forget?" Reval asked annoyed

"I'm sorry, Son! Dad's too happy that I forgot that in London Aidan's family and Nana's your little best friend." Ab answered while looking at the son.

"Ahk!! Dad, now my chance to meet her is no more." With a sad tone.

Ab of course felt what Reval felt, Reval became a cold man figure because of the loss of Nana, he again became the real Reval because Nana. he Nana means a lot to him.

"There's still plenty of time, son! If you strengthen each other and keep trust, God will bring you together with a situation more beautiful than this."Ab patted the son's shoulder.

Reval smiled "Amiin, may Allah have the chance to meet Nana" he said, then left his seat and went to his room.

Reval entered his room looking up at the dark sky, the stars and moon looking beautiful tonight but not with his heart,

Again he felt a deep pain, like he felt that his little girl was crying. Reval walked towards the drawer to open the red love-shaped box, which appeared a photo photo and a letter given by the little girl before they separated from each other.

Reval walked towards the balcony reopening the letter with the blue paper..

'Hi Reval!! this is a letter to you, sorry that Nana just gave you this, Reval know what you are? you are the most precious person to me, you are the most special person to me,

because you Nana can feel the true meaning of happiness and togetherness, Reval! sorry Nan has to go, Nana has to come with Daddy, I'm sorry if this hurt you, hurt you really Nana felt sad and heavy to leave you, but fate cannot be changed. Reval's promised Nana! if Reval has to be strong can't be weak, Reval must be happy can't be sad, because if Reval is sad Nana will be sad, then therefore don't grieve the grim cowboy that Nana has. Sorry Nana! Nana will miss Reval a lot..

Nana dear Reval. See you's..

He smiled at the letter, however he had promised not to grieve "Lord, I miss that girl, allow me to meet her, please, send me this miss to her through the prayer that I pray to you every day."
