Risam who heard his wife's words as well as hope smiled, “Hopefully yes. But it looks like two months is still less time to finish this house.” said Risam.

Nayya smiled, “Emm, okay. If it is so. We can stay at home mommy or mama.” Nayya. Indeed, since the age of 5 months Nayya content both decided not to stay again in the shophouse considering the content of Nayya which has grown larger and up and down the stairs will endanger the womb. At the age of 6 months Nayya lived in the residence of Risam's parents and now they live in the residence of Nayya's parents. Neither Risam nor Nayya wanted to cause envy to each other between their two parents.

After being satisfied to see their half-finished house, Nayya and Risam immediately went home to the house of mama Fara and papa Imran, “Nak, where are you from?” ask papa Imran.

“From seeing the construction of pah house.” Answer Nayya.

Papa Imran nodded in understanding, “Ohiya Nayya. Your mama was looking for you son.” said papa Imran.

Nayya nodded then she immediately went inside to the kitchen looking for the mother, “What mama looking for Nayya?” ask Nayya to her mother.

Mama Fara also smiled to see her daughter, “Where are you from son?” ask mama Fara.

“I-it's worth seeing this.” take mama Fara to her room.

On the other hand in a room, Afnan looked at a photo that always accompanied his sleep for several months, “Nay, you are happy right. I'm happy for you, Nay. I'll keep this picture of you. I will continue my life. You used to want me to change and study religion so today I will make it happen. I decided to choose this not because of your request but because I wanted to do it. I do it for myself. I will pray that there will be a good destiny awaiting me.” Afnan said that he kept the photo of Nayya in a box and locked it in his closet.

Afnan no longer planned to commit suicide and he also no longer killed himself by drinking alcohol secretly. Since the time Nayya and Risam came at that time since then he also rose again. Although he has not been able to forget Nayya even until now the feeling is still there. But he's back to finding his sanity. Nayya the girl she loved was already happy with her husband. So why should she be sad while the girl she loves is happy. She should be happy even if Nayya is not with her.

Afnan no longer locked himself in his room. He's back to what he used to be. It helped papi Riyad work. It can be said that he has returned to normal even though his sadness is still there but he hides it from people.

“Kak!” ivana said she went into her sister's room.

Afnan also smiled at his sister, “What's the deck?” ask Afnan.

Afnan nodded and immediately came out of the room with his sister. Afnan immediately sat in the chair he used to sit in when eating. Afnan smiled looking at his parents and his two younger siblings.

“Kak, tomorrow there is a concert in the city. Do you want to come?” ask Efnan his younger brother.

Afnan smiled and nodded, “Okay, we will go.” Afnan replied and scooped food onto his plate.

“Kak, are you all right?” ask mami Rana.

Afnan smiled and looked at his mom, “I'm fine. Don't worry about me.” Afnan.

“You've forgotten him son?” ask papi Riyad carefully. He understood that his son was still hiding his sadness.

Afnan who heard his papa chuckle, “Lupa? I don't know what that definition of forgetting is. I'm just trying to make peace with the situation. Time will go on and not wait for me. I have to catch up with me. I will continue my life. She was happy with her husband. They were waiting for their twins. It would be hypocritical for me to say that I have forgotten about it and no longer feel pain. Because in reality my heart still hurts just that he's happy. I should be happy in my own way.” Afnan said and started eating. The other four fell silent and ate in silence.

After doing dinner, now Afnan meet his mom and dad, “Mih, Pih I want to talk to you guys. This is important.” said Afnan seriously.

Mami Rana and papi Riyad who saw the serious expression shown by their son could only obey, “What do you want to talk about son?” ask papi Riyad.

“Mih, Pih I want to go to city F. I want to work there. I beg you to let me go.” said Afnan.

“Son, can't you not go? Has this half a year not healed your wounds?” ask mami Rana.

“Mih, I can't mih. Please please let me go. I promise I'll go home. I'll definitely be home.” Afnan.

“How long?” ask papi Riyad. Mami Rana who heard her husband's question could only cry.

“Maybe a year, two years or no years. I don't know pih. But I'm definitely going home. That's my promise.” Afnan.

“Why do you have to go?” ask papi Riyad.

Afnan smiled, “I want to learn something. As I said at the dinner table earlier, I wanted to catch up with me. I want to move on with my life and why I chose city F because only in that city can I get what I'm looking for. I hope mommy and papi let me go.” Afnan said.

Papi Riyad sighed, “If it is your decision then you can only agree and support you. Papi hopes you can fulfill your promise to go home and papi also hopes you can go home in less than a year.” said papi Riyad.

“I promise I'll be home but don't promise when I'll be home.” Said Afnan and immediately went into his room.

Mami Rana crying in her husband's arms, “It's over. We have to let him go. He needs time to heal his wounds.” Riyad said to calm his wife.
