"Your sister how at home son Rania, is it okay to stay there. He's a tough guy anyway like a prank ntar nak Rania and his Papa even hassles."

"No, Rania said she's very happy that she lives there. He had friends, and often played the same. Said Rania, sister invited him to play ball, play hide and seek, play snake stairs and also play games from Rania's laptop. It was so exciting to say and he felt like he had the affection of a little sister. Even sometimes mbok Asih and mang Asep even follow the play."

"The father even said, the sister can stay there anytime the sister wants. Papa Rania is happy to see her house crowded and see Rania happy. Rania doesn't have a sister, she's an only child and her mother has died since she was a child. So she felt lonely every day just with Bik Asih and Mang Asep while her Papa was out of town taking care of her business."

"Oh yes ma'am, what about the clothes of the late father? today's plan all Zia will take care of."

"Just leave it to the neighbors who need it so that it can be useful. May his reward flow to your late father."

When the mother and child were busy chatting heard the sound of footsteps towards them, it turned out that Angga had arrived.

"Assalamu'alaikum", said Angga.

"Wa'alaikumsalam", answered the mother and Zia together.

"How come I've come home, what time is it ?"

"Yes nak Angga, I ask for help yes want to deliver Zia, if the transportation ride itself pity Zia had to go back and forth and back and forth transportation, it's far from our home from here."

"No doubt ma'am, it is indeed Angga's job to deliver Zia wherever Zia wants to go, Angga will take care of Zia bu, the important thing is that you do not worry too much."

"Thank you son, I believe in you."

"Here you guys go let's not kesorean ntar back here again. Before that buy first nak Angga food, surely nak Angga hungry just come home from school."

"Yes son, be careful you guys on the road, Son Angga bring the car do not race ya."

Zia's sister nodded happily to hear Rania mention the word mall.

"We've already left."

On the way to Zia's rented house, Angga livened up the longing-themed music. Angga longs to be with Zia, together going and going home from school while livening up romantic music, chatting and humming together revealing about their love.

Now the music of the band Motif entitled, "God Keep Him" is playing melodious accompanied their journey.

Only you I love

It won't make me fall in love again

I feel

You're the best for me

Even though I know you're not perfect

It won't keep me away from you

What I am will remain loyal to you

God take care of him

She's my lover, she's mine

I really love, really love

As pure as my heart

Even though I know you're not perfect

It won't keep me away from you

What is

I will remain faithful to you

Ho-wo-ho

God take care of him

She's my lover, she's mine

I really love, really love

As pure as my heart

God take care of him

She's my lover, she's mine

I really love, really love

As pure as my heart

God take care of him

She's my lover, she's mine

I really love, really love

As pure as my heart

When the song ended he looked at his lover and clasped his hand tightly, then said, saying,

"Whatever your life may be, I will stay with you, stand by you and protect you. Even though I know you're not perfect, I'll never leave you and I always hope that when I'm not at your side, God will take care of you."
