After a long journey, almost 5 hours from the city of B. They came to a small town that was not very densely populated. The car stopped at a house that looked simple but clean and tidy.
Their arrival is greeted by a middle-aged woman who turns out to be the maid Nathan prepared for Lilis. His name is Bik Nah. Bik Nah helped them lift their luggage, and was also helped by Nathan's friend who turned out to have a son. Nathan's best friend is also Nathan's former employee.
Lilis was happy, as it turned out that her husband had prepared everything well. A house to the taste of Lilis and the children. Lilis is like being in her own house because Nathan styled it almost similar to the house Lilis used to be.
After finishing some, Nathan approached the driver of the car he rented. And strictly Nathan asked the driver not to tell anyone the address of their new home without exception. After getting assurances that their new address would not leak, Nathan let the driver and his car drive away.
Lilis brought the children in and rested. Naina and Revelation look exhausted after a long journey. So tired, the three of them fell asleep in Lilis' room.
Nathan talks to his best friend Giri and his son Romy.
"Your son is this big, if not wrong he's 6 years old my son Naina's age" Nathan said, staring at Romy.
"really. By the way, Naina's your stepdaughter right?" ask Giri.
"really. But I love him as much as my own son" Nathan said.
"Did the boy know that you weren't his real father?"
"Yet. I don't want him to know, because I want him to love me as his real father" Nathan replied.
"It's best that after Naina grows up, you have to tell her the truth. Because it's her right to know who her real father is."
"I know I can't be selfish either. Wanted to be considered a biological father forever by Naina."
"What's your plan now?"
"I'll open a fried rice stall around here. Do you know a suitable place for my new venture?" ask Nathan.
"There is, but it still has to be renovated a bit. Because I know your taste, and this place is not what you want it to be. The place is not too broad, but to start a new business, it is still suitable" replied Giri seriously.
"Okay, I need your help to take care of everything. If you're willing, we can go back to how we used to be."
"Sorry, I already have a workshop business that God willing can be more advanced in the future. So I will be the boss like you" Giri said with a laugh. " Nathan, me and Romy. I still have other business. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate, come to my house."
"OK, please. I also want to rest, tired," Nathan said, writhing in exhaustion.
Romy and Giri leave Nathan's house. Nathan immediately went to see the bik Nah to ask him to make food for them. After that Nathan took a break on the floor of Lilis' room with a mattress floor.
***
A new beginning for Nathan and Lilis. In this small town they will build a new business and start a new life. Life without worries and anxieties due to a threat. Here, everyone is new and there is no grudge.
This morning, Bik Nah had prepared breakfast for them. Seemed a sense of happiness emanated from Nathan's face that felt he could let go of his worry about the threat of murder that continued to follow their families.
"Naina, add more breakfast. Tomorrow mom and dad will enroll Naina in school. Today you laze around first" Nathan said as he looked at Naina.
"Naina is full, Father," replied Naina.
"Yes, already. Father today will see our new place of business. Hopefully these few days, our efforts can be carried out. Pray for Father, dear, Naina, Revelation and also for all to be smooth" Nathan said.
"Yes, I'll buy it. I go first" Nathan said as he stood up.
Carrying Revelation, Lilis and Naina follow Nathan to the porch. Lilis kissed the back of her husband's hand followed by Naina. Nathan breathed a sigh of relief, as he was now able to work quietly.
Nathan rides a motorcycle to Giri's house, and invites Giri to see the conditions of the place where he will make a business selling fried rice. Arriving at his destination, Nathan observes from various perspectives of sellers and buyers. A pretty good place to open a business because it is quite strategic and promising. While viewed from the point of view of the buyer, this place is quite interesting and comfortable to let go of tired while eating.
After feeling confident in his decision, Nathan asked Giri for the address of the owner of the place. But eventually they decided to go both to the owner's house.
They were in a very luxurious house. Giri squeezed the bell attached near the door. Not long after, a middle-aged man appeared from behind the door.
"Good day, Doctor Pradipta," said Giri.
"Good day, Giri. Come in" replied Dr. Pradipta, inviting them in.
Nathan and Giri sit next to Doctor Pradipta, who asks his assistant to give them a drink. Not long after, a warm tea had been in front of them along with a snack.
"Please drink first" said Dr. Pradipta.
Nathan seemed to have seen Doctor Pradipta, but Nathan forgot where they had met.
"You forgot me?" doctor Pradipta asked Nathan.
"I'm sorry, I did seem to have met the Doctor, but I forgot where I had met the Doctor" Nathan said with a shy smile.
"Well remember your son's birthday?" ask Dr. Pradipta.
"I remember, you were the one who was with us at that time, weren't you?" nathan asked remembering the incident.
"That's true. I didn't expect you to buy my place" said Dr. Pradipta.
"Then what, sir?" tanya Giri was curious.
"I'll accept your offer the other day, considering I know Nathan."
Finally that day, it was decided that this sale and purchase transaction was successful at a fairly friendly price.
Two days later after a little renovation, the place has turned into a comfortable place to eat and while relaxing. Their lives began to gradually go according to what they wanted. Plus the birth of their daughter, Lina Amelia, added to their happiness.
Although life is simple, but they feel peaceful and happy.
Sometimes the longing for people who have been close to them makes them meet each other through Video Call only.
