Khaira hugged Diego before entering the waiting room.
"Diego, take good care of yourself. I'm leaving." whispered Khaira
"Khaira, you seem to be going far away. I'll be in two days. You heart of heart"
"You're also heart-hearted" Khaira said, hugging Diego tightly.
"Diego.forgive me. I have to go, if you are my soul mate, we will definitely be reunited. Iloveyou..."
Khaira held back her tears to make the typhoon fall. He didn't want Diego to suspect anything.
Diego waved his hand sending Khaira away. He was still standing until Khaira disappeared from his sight.
"Why does my heart feel empty like this. As if Khaira would go far and disappear from my life...."
Khaira has contacted Papi Azril to arrange his departure to the island of Sumatra tomorrow morning.
He had convinced his papa that he was the best for him and Diego. He also asks Atha to hide all this from Diego.
It was very difficult to convince Atha to shut up, but with her tears constantly flowing pleading, Atha finally agreed.
Khaira arrived in Jakarta ahead of the magrib. He's been picked up by Atha. His sister brought Khaira to dinner at one of their favorite restaurants from childhood.
"Mbak ..what are you sure about this decision"
"Yes, Atha..."
"Mother doesn't love Diego..."
"Because I love him so much, I made this decision"
"What do you mean.if you love Diego so much, then you might leave him"
"Atha. Diego's age is young. There's still a lot he can do for his future, if he stays by his side he's afraid he'll ruin his future..."
"I don't understand, ma'am..."
"You must know that oma never liked me. And if oma finds out I'm in a relationship with Diego, I'll make sure oma doesn't approve of it. Diego is so young, his young soul would have rebelled if he knew the oma was against our relationship. He will certainly fight all the words of his family. I don't want him to rebel. I'm leaving right now so Diego can graduate school first. If he can get to college, I'm back"
"That's over time, and certainly the age of the mother is not young anymore. Diego could've fallen in love with another woman...."
"If he falls in love with another woman, Diego is not my soul mate"
"What if you fall in love with another man"
"That also means we're not a soul mate. Mbak believes in the destiny of God, as far and as long as anything can go if Diego is my soul mate, we will definitely be reunited someday"
"I can only pray for the best for you and Diego. I know how much Diego loves you. I actually objected to this decision that I made. But I also understand by mbak's intent. Let time do the talking. With his maturity later, Diego can determine with certainty how he really feels when you meet again"
After Khaira and Diego return home. Khaira immediately entered the items needed for him to leave tomorrow.
After finishing Khaira came to his papa in his study. He hugged and cried on his chest.
"But, papi, don't forget to visit me once a week"
"Honey, there's still time to cancel everything. With you going away it won't solve the problem. Papi thinks it will add new problems. What if Diego can't accept your departure and he ruined his life"
"But don't scare me...."
"You don't want Diego to get hurt...."
"Are you sure this is the best"
"Yes, papi knows what oma is. I don't want Diego to argue with oma. He is the only grandchild of Oma. I also don't want to later because I'll have Diego fight with oma and make the school disturbed"
"You're the same as your mommy. Always think of others even if you're hurt"
"But, again I beg you to keep this a secret from anyone until I see Diego has entered college. Just one year to hide this...."
"After a year you can tell Diego where you are. Let him catch up with you. It can also interfere with his college"
"But, that's not what I meant..."
"Yes, that's. Papi can only support all your decisions"
The next day Khaira and her papi Azril left for the city of Pekanbaru where she would teach at one of the foundations. He will teach in junior high school as a teacher of mathematics.
Azril found a place for Khaira to live not far from school. Khaira will be a substitute teacher for two years only. Khaira will continue with S2.
After Azril prepared everything, he returned to Jakarta the next day. Khaira escorted her papa to the airport. Azril bought a used car for Khaira as his transportation.
"You won't change your mind, son. If you have any doubts here, we will return together to Jakarta" Azril said before leaving.
"I'm sure, pi. I also want to add to my experience by being a teacher. After two years, I'll be back and working at the papi company"
"Alright, if there's anything quick call papi"
"Yes, pi. Papi the heart of the heart ...."
Khaira confronted her papi until it disappeared from view. After his papa disappeared, he could not hold back his tears.
This time he was away from family. And for quite a long time. But he has to be strong. It's all for Diego.
On the same day as Aztil's return to Jakarta, Diego is also preparing to return to Jakarta.
Oma actually did not allow Diego to return quickly but he could not continue to hold his grandson because Diego reasoned he returned to take care of school problems.
Diego with a little astonished heart boarded the plane that would take him to Jakarta. His feelings are no longer good. Since yesterday Khaira could not be contacted. Atha also never want to lift or reply to chat from him.
It feels like Diego called Papi Azril. But he held it. Wouldn't he have met Khaira once he got to Jakarta.
Diego asks the taxi driver to go directly to Khaira or Azril's house. Arriving at Azril's house, after paying for the taxi money Diego directly knocked on the door of the house.
She went straight into the house as usual after my aunt opened the door. He knocks on Khaira's door without asking her whereabouts to the aunt he met.
The aunt who saw Diego knock on Khaira's door was astonished.
"Den Diego, what about knocking on non Khaira's room door" asked the aunt
"Yes to meet Khairalah bi, if you meet your aunt already" joked Diego
"Digo doesn't know if non-Khaira left yesterday" asked the aunt
"Depart.there"
"Auntie doesn't know. But non Khaira brought a lot of stuff, like to move it"
Hearing aunt's words, Diego became weak. He sat on the floor near Khaira's door.
