Rico tried to find Anya's address in the Netherlands. To ask the employee, it is impossible, while some times Rico chat and calling, there is also no answer from Anya.

He remembers he had a college friend who now lives in Leiden, his name is Dimas.

Rico tried to find the theme number on his phone, nothing, was erased maybe. He called Zein.

"Hallo Zein, you're still missing Dimas's number?"

"Some, yesterday I just called her, what's up?"

"Gue sendin ya, I wait".

"Well, what's wrong with Ric, I think it's important'.

" Yak between life and death" Laughing Rico answered Zein's question.

"You want to spread your wings to the Netherlands ?".

"Who knows my luck"

" Okay good luck, wait ane find, ntar ane send".

" Yo bro thanks"

Before long Zein sent the number to Rico. Rico immediately saved the Dimas number. And contact Dimas directly.

Tuuuut tuuuut, continuous tone.

"Goedemorgen", There is a voice from across with a very fluent Dutch dialect.

" Dimas, it's me, Rico"

" Ooo Rico how are you, there's something I can help Ric with".

" Do you have any friends or relatives in Amsterdam ?"

" Well, my father and his wife live in Amsterdam, what's wrong ?"

" I want to ask for help, You know the Indonesian who about 3 months ago returned to Indonesia, married to an Indonesian?".

" Eits don't-don't you find my father??, why is it".

" Did you take your wife home three months ago?"

" Yoa" replied Dimas short.

" There are no guests in your house?"

" Yes my stepbrother, the day after he came here, what's wrong, I suspect" laughing. " Emang you've broken up with Rebecha".

" tomorrow I'll go to your house in Leiden give you an address, don't say anything first with the family in Amsterdam, tomorrow I'll see you tell me a story".

" Okay brooo, I'm waiting"

" What do you want from Indonesia?"

"Now I have a new mom who is cooking, any Indonesian cuisine, so I do not need to cook food from Indonesia. What matters is that you come here slamet deh Ric".

" Okay, thank you, huh ?"

Tonight, Anya was taken for a walk by her father and mother. Living in Amsterdam is very quiet. There's no pollution.

During the autumn there are many attractions displayed on the roadside. Not only in Indonesia, in the Netherlands there are also many coffee shops, which are provided for domestic and foreign tourists, if you want to find a warm drink.

In each store in addition to providing coffee, usually also provided appletaart, a kind of apple pie, with a moist and soft texture in the layer. The skin is dry like dry bread, the taste is a mixture of apples that are not so sweet.

They sat in one of the comfortable shops. In each store is provided a paddle seat for two to four people on the sidewalk of the road.

Tonight was very lively. Even though the weather is below 20° degrees according to what Anya feels, but in every corner of the street looks full of people.

Nobody uses motorized vehicles, they prefer walking or cycling. The city feels very clean and peaceful.

" Yes, in Walvarende Sentosa company there are job openings. They're looking for marketing, maybe you're interested?"

Anya sighed deeply, there was still something stuck in her heart.

" Yes well, I feel at home here, it feels damaaai, really. But to move to work is not yet in the plan".

" Yes, just think about it, I'm just giving input"

" Yes, who knows you're interested, Mom so there's a friend if it's the father's job'.

" It's mom's appeal, huh, I told you to get a job?" They laughed, and my mother blushed.

" Mom thought to Him..."

" Yes, I'll think about it".

The rest of them talk a lot about daily activities.

Meanwhile, Rico prepares for his departure to the Netherlands. Everything has been prepared by Mr. Hasan, tomorrow morning there is a flight schedule to Amsterdam. In Leiden the airport is closed Dimas said. Finally it was decided to go down in Amsterdam only, then later continued with land vehicles to Leiden.

Nothing is expensive for love. Rico laughed at himself. How could he be this crazy chasing love.

It turns out that bucin does not only belong to ABG, he who has grown up feels the same way. Rico smiled. Smiling at yourself.

The plane leaves at seven in the morning. He called Mr. Slamet, his personal driver, to be escorted to the airport tomorrow at five in the morning. Because 2 hours before departure he must already be at the airport.

Tonight Rico fell asleep very well, besides being tired, imagining tomorrow meeting Anya, it was enough to make Rico more quickly carried away by dreams.

Finally, when Rico arrived at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, he had to continue the journey again by land which took approximately 45 minutes to Leiden.

There are already several taxis lined up at the airport exit, Rico chose one of them. And mention where the destination is.

Taxi driving steadily, although this is a fairly long journey, Rico is not bored, because the scenery in front of him is very beautiful.

Several times Rico passed through a wheat field equipped with several small-looking mills from the street. Characteristics of the Netherlands. Had he come here in spring, he would have seen tulips blooming everywhere.

"Meneer, zoek een goed hotel als u in Leiden aankomt"

(Sir Find me a good hotel upon arrival in Leiden)

" I'm a het probeer, Meneer".

(Okay, I'm working on it sir). The rest of them are silent. Drivers concentrate on the streets, while Rico concentrates on the sights that amaze him.

Thirty minutes later they had already entered the city of Laiden. Drivers looking for hotels requested by Rico. They enter a hotel that looks nice and exclusive.

Arriving at the hotel entrance, the taxi driver helps Rico pull out the suitcase. And Rico pays according to the bill listed on the argo meter.

The traditional taxi here, still well maintained, although the outer shape looks old, but both the exterior and interior of the car look very well maintained.

Rico's suitcase is accepted by the porter (bel boy), Rico follows the porter behind him, until in the hotel lobby, Rico enrolls. Thankfully there were not many guests. Rico still has an empty room.

Arriving at the room, Rico threw himself down for a moment, he saw the clock on the wall at five o'clock in the afternoon passing, but the sun outside still feels hot, compared to five o'clock in Indonesia.

Autumn in the Netherlands is longer during the day than night. Whatever Rico wants to rest first, he wants tomorrow when he meets Anya, he already looks fresher and fresher.
