Safira's mother smiled little, actually considering the departure of her beloved husband makes it no less sad. But this time he did not want to be too protracted, considering the happiness of another Raksa and his two daughters who are very excited to celebrate Niana's birthday.
Tok. tokk.. Everything was distracted by a knock on the door, and Sapphira's mother moved to open it.
"Who's mom?" asked Raksa, coming to his mother to the door, as he would immediately go to bandung. Safira's mother simply smiled, then pointed at someone in front of the door with her chin.

"I miss this house!" Niama smilingly circulated her gaze around, which had not changed from the first time she set foot there.
"And I miss you!" Niana turned to look at Raksa who had put her smile on her. The girl was stunned with her eyes wide.
Niana immediately turned Raksa's face with her hands, turning her gaze that was getting worse. "don't see I'm that rich, embarrassed." The objection.
"Today you're on leave to bandung?"
"Yes but not only today, the next two days I am also on leave," replied Raksa, crossing his arms to the shoulder of the park chair.
"Why?" ask Niana astonished.
"Tomorrow a day that neither I nor my family can miss together" Raksa replied turning to see Niana return. "And the day after tomorrow is also a day that neither I nor my family can miss as well, your birthday."

Niana was really scared of it. At least the day after tomorrow on the 24th, hoping he can will his feelings.
"Why, do you have a show?" ask Raksa.
"When I want to take you, I want to impale you on someone important in my life" Raksa's disappointed face. "Can you please can you cancel your show tomorrow. I'll ask your father for permission." Raksa seemed to beg, the man was waiting for Niama to come with him.
"I'm sorry Aksa, I have a very important family way with my father."
"All right, next time. I'll introduce you to her," Niana nodded, but she didn't actually have the heart with Raksa's disappointed look.
"I promise whenever I can, as long as not tomorrow."
