Rico's gaze could not be separated from Anya. You're getting pretty. Inner Rico.

Maybe Rotterdam's weather matches Anya's, her skin becomes yellow, her eyes are getting clearer. Her long hair was a little bit in brownish color paint, perfectly fitting to Anya's skin now.

"His...you won't answer my question?"

Anya looked up at Rico, her gaze shady and sweet. I want Rico to pick Anya up to take home. I don't think he wants to be apart anymore.

" I... can't tell you why I should leave you?"

"But why?, I deserve to know your reasons, I was happy when you first arrived in his Indonesia, I want to introduce that you're the one I'm going to marry my parents".

Anya was stunned to hear what Rico said. He was very sad. Her tears were unstoppable.

For two years he hid from Rico. But look now, even though he is currently in another part of the world, Rico still finds him. And my heart can't forget it at all.

But considering Rachel's sadism she's also very traumatized. He's very scared. All his life he had just seen and experienced physical violence which he thought was terrifying.

" Mr Rico now with Rachel again ?" anya's innocent question that suddenly shocked Rico, of course.

" I've been looking for you for over a year, no trace. I'm desperate, I'm afraid, I...."

Before Rico's words were finished, someone called Anya .

"Anna !!"

Here Anya is called Anna, because of the difficulty of pronouncing Anya.

"Gaat het wel goed ?" (are you okay?)Asked the cute bule man in front of them. Seeing Anya looked indeed.

"Het gaat prima met mij" (i'm fine) Anya replied.

"This is my friend Steve, this is Steve Rico".

The two of them shook hands, and introduced themselves by mentioning each other's names.

But the awkwardness between them was obvious.

" Mr. Rico has lived in Rotterdam for a long time". Ask Anya.

" Tonight I have to go back to Amsterdam, tomorrow I go back to Indonesia". Paused. " May I have your phone number?"

Anya looked at Steve, appearing Steve nodding his head.

" Pak Rico's number is still the old one?"

" Yes His ".

Not long after that there was a message coming in. There was a message there. This is my number sir, I go first, hopefully one day we can meet again.

" I say hello to Mr. Rico, we have an event ", Anya approached while shaking Rico's hand.

There was a disappointment that emanated very clearly, from Rico's eye bead. He still wants to linger with Anya. But this bule man came out of nowhere, and who is he, what does he have to do with Anya??

Disperse the wishes of Rico who wants to be alone with Anya longer.

Rico sees Anya leaving until her shadow disappears.

With lethargic steps, Rico turned around to head to the car that had been waiting for him to drive him back to Amsterdam.

Meanwhile, Anya several times wiped her tears that repeatedly fell down her cheeks. This is inseparable from Steve's observations.

Steve took Anya to calm her down.

"We're sitting here Anna"

" Are you okay?, that man, the man you've been telling me about all this time?".

Anya looked at Steve, she saw concern in Steve's eyes.

"Yes Steve, he's Rico, the guy I've been telling you about all this time, I'm sorry", Anya cried so much again.

Steve took a long breath.

" Then, why don't you go after him?, why are you still here ?".

"No Steve, let everything be like this, maybe this is His plan, I don't want to disturb his life anymore".

Steve does love Anya, very much, but he feels sad to see Anya like this.

"Well, if you're calm then we'll go home".

Anya, living in Rotterdam with the help of her father and stepbrother. She had to be treated at a health clinic in the suburb of Jakata for one week to recover her wounds before flying to the Netherlands.

While in the Netherlands, she was hospitalized to recover her trauma from Rachel's treatment. Not a moment to restore his health, because several times he was still afraid when listening to the voice of women talking. Until finally, one month later Anya was declared healthy.

After being discharged from the hospital, Anya stays with Dimas and Tantri, while waiting for a job call. Up to two months later, at Dimas's home a work call from Rotterdam he got.

While in Rotterdam, Anya finally met Steve, who worked there as well. Because Anya is still very foreign, and at the beginning of living in Rotterdam she has not mastered Dutch, her meeting with Steve was very helpful.

They are getting closer. And on the occasion that he thought was good, Steve expressed his feelings to Anya.

But then Anya asked to be given time to answer Steve's love for her.

Until one day Anya tells what and why she has not been able to answer Steve's love for her.

Steve who really loves Anya is willing to wait until Anya can sincerely love him.

Elsewhere Rico felt a pain at the bottom of his heart, a meeting that left a wound in his opinion.

Yesterday when he left for Rotterdam he was happy to see tulips blooming along the side of the road.

But it was only now that he returned to Amsterdam that the tulips became unattractive to look at.

He saw there was still love in Anya's eyes, but who was that old Caucasian man, why was he so affectionate with Anya ?

Once again the longing that was buried during this time, turned into pain. The pain is deep, deep.

Had you known Him, this feeling, never lost a second of me, I still expected, and kept hoping that you would come back to me.

Rico opened his phone, he saw again the number sent Anya earlier.

He kept his number Anya. Who knows if you'll call me again one day.

Arrive in Amsterdam Rico ask to be delivered to the address of Mr. Bowo. He would stop by and say hello, who knows there is information to be obtained, in connection with Anya's unselfish departure from him.

Rico reached Mr. Bowo's house at eight p.m.

He knocked on the door, before long the door opened. Mr. Bowo was shocked, Rico was in front of him.

" Let's go ahead Rico, come in, Ibuu's got Rico". Anggraenj's mother ran to the living room. He greeted with hugs and kisses upon Rico's arrival.

"How are you Rico, not been here for a long time, how many years yes, you used to visit Anya in Rotterdam, thank God, now that she is close to mother, every weekend she must be here"

Before Bu Anggraeni continued his story Mr. Bowo squeezed a little of Bu Anggraeni's hand.

Rico knew the signal.

" I already knew Anya in Rotterdam Om, I met Anya there by accident".
