In front of the main gate of LAPAS Cipinang, many people were crowding. They are relatives of former prisoners. Today they are scheduled to be released from prison.
The huge gate opened, one by one people started to come out from inside the prison. By only wearing simple clothes, they are very happy to be welcomed by loved ones.
They hugged each other and missed each other. Some even bowed down on the ground. All are normal things as human beings, even though they are created as the garbage of society.
After a few human crowds it began to disappear. Slowly opening the LAPAS door, Erick is the last ex-con to break out of prison.
He walked leisurely, this was the first time he could breathe free air. His appearance after becoming a former NAPI somewhat changed. His neat hair became urakan, the stocky body grew stocky. Even that handsome face still did not fade in the slightest.
Erick observed the surroundings, there was no one else. Silent and empty. It seems that Erick has been forgotten by everyone.
From the right side of the road, there was the sound of the roar of the car engine approaching Erick. It turns out there are three cars lined up neatly stopped right in front of him.
One of the car doors was wide open. A big, athletic man walked right in front of Erick.
The man is Erick's new secretary who was sent specially by his father. His name is Joe, not just any guy who deserves to accompany Erick.
Joe then brought a new suit in his hand. Erick grabbed the suit and quickly put it on with confidence. Erick's old clothes go to jail, and Joe puts them in the trash.
In addition to giving a new suit, Joe also gave a cigarette butts. As a sign of freedom, Erick accepted the cigarette happily. Joe's hand lit the fire from the lighter, then pointed it toward the end of the cigarette.
Erick smokes cigarettes that are full of pleasure. Then he exhaled a lot of smoke between his mouth and nose. He saw that puff of cigarette smoke flying up into the sky.
Cigarettes are the most beautiful and full of art. At least that's what Jesica has been saying for the rest of his life with Erick.
Joe allows Erick to get into the main car. It was just him and Joe in the car. The other two cars contain bodyguards who are always ready to keep Erick.
Joe started driving the car and slowly they got away from the prison.
"How's Hanum doing?" erick asked while focusing on the view from the car glass.
"He grew up well, his father always took care of the boy really, really" Joe replied.
Hearing Joe's explanation, Erick's heart calmed down a little. Hary is indeed a depraved man all the time, but for his children's problems he never played.
"Then the woman?"
"I mean sir is Laras?"
Erick did not respond, but from the look of his face was indeed implied anger for the name.
"I bribed the jailer's head to control Laras 24 hours. He will feel great pressure and violence until his last breath" Joe said.
Of course Erick was very satisfied, because of the crazy woman he had to lose Jesica. The man would never forgive her until at any time.
Joe saw Erick from the front rearview mirror. He noticed the calmness and look on Erick's face. Maybe it's a good time for Joe to offend his real father.
"Do you want to meet with Chairman Tomi, he is in the hospital" said Joe straightforwardly.
Erick turned his gaze forward, he confirmed his dislike expression. Of course Joe realized that.
"I don't want to meet him" Erick said.
"You should have seen him just this once, during his five years in prison, his health deteriorated.
When you are caught in the law and tried, he himself took care of and bribed many law enforcement officers.
If not thanks to him, maybe you are still languishing in prison for a very long time," explained Joe with a little carried away.
Erick chose to be quiet. Guilt began to haunt her dreams. The trauma of the past with the father still raises a deep fear.
The car has now entered the Elite cemetery in West Jakarta. The other two cars continue to escort Erick's car.
Then Erick told Joe and the bodyguards to wait for Erick in the car. He doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone.
Carrying a bottle of Vodka, Erick walked straight down the path. He finally saw Jesica's tomb with a white marble decoration.
He looked at the resting place of his best friend. He could no longer cry, the remaining tears had already turned into timeless immortal wounds.
Erick's hand opened the lid of Vodka, he immediately drank the water in one gulp. Vodka leftovers in a bottle, Erick spills over Jesica's grave.
"Good fun." said Erick with a sad smile.
After that, he decided to leave the grave of Jesica. But from behind she saw Natalie standing with a large bouquet of flowers.
They exchanged glances, not a single word opened their first meeting.
****
Erick and Natalie were sitting together on a bench in the cemetery. This was the first time they could sit quietly while enjoying the beautiful blue sky.
Natalie's happy, if Erick looks more relaxed after he languishes in prison. Even he hoped that the relationship of his sister would improve.
"Is brother okay?" ask Natalie with a little embarrassment.
"I never feel good" replied Erick.
They were silent for a moment, beginning to be silent for a few seconds. Erick and Natalie still feel awkward.
"Thank you for replacing me as CEO of Denka. I didn't expect a spoiled woman like yourself to retain company value" Erick said.
"You're wrong brother, all I've been doing is defending the relics of Jes.
Denka is so precious to him, I can't possibly let it crumble. Yes, although at that time it was not easy to run a company that was hated by one Indonesia," Natalie replied proudly.
Erick stood up from the bench, looking at his sister with a smile.
"I'm no longer interested in the CEO position. Just take it, I leave Denka in your hand," Erick said as he hurriedly left the conversation.
While Natalie could only reply to him with a casual laugh. He then ran after Erick.
"So wait for me!" screamed Natalie loudly.
Erick pura did not hear the screams of his little brother. He just kept walking in a cool style.
"Basar brother stingy.at least treat me to eat Sushi.. WOO.. WOI.." cried Natalie tighter.

Nothing has changed with these roads. It still looks the same when Erick last saw it.
All this time Erick kept thinking, if he accidentally stood at the end of the crossing road, maybe Dira was still there.
After Dira decided to plunge himself off the boat. He mysteriously disappeared. As powerful as the police did the sea sweep, the woman's body was lost like swallowed up by the ocean.
Finally after two years passed, the Dira search mission was dismissed. Police and Basarnas said the woman was killed by a large stream of seawater.
But for Erick, the woman he loved so much was still alive. Erick could not believe that Dira died in the middle of the ocean.
Erick was standing at the end of the road close to the traffic light. As usual, he began his habit of seeing people cross.
Waiting for the lamp to turn red, his gaze continued to watch the crowd swarming from the front.
When the red light was on, one by one people started walking over the zebra cross sign. They crossed the road to the end.
Erick's still waiting, he's not moving. He kept hoping that there was a Dira figure in their midst. But the crossing streets were starting to empty, the sign of the lights began to turn green.
With a sad face and dim eyes. Erick could only see that the road was full of cars and motorcycles passing by.
He did not find that love. This time it really disappeared. Erick misses his beautiful hair. He wanted to see it back for a moment.

Lucerne is the most popular tourist city in Switzerland. A beautiful place and many wonders.
This beautiful city is under the Alps. No doubt makes Lucerne a favorite place of many tourist attractions.
Erick was having breakfast at a hotel restaurant. He enjoyed his holidays in Switzerland in peace. Alone, he tries to be a normal human being.
After breakfast, Erick decided to go around the city on foot. He wants to see the activities of local people doing work every day.
Some were guarding the shop, cycling while listening to music and some small children were running around on the sidewalk.
That simple activity made Erick pensive. He felt envious of all of them, it turned out that happiness could be felt by simple things.
Suddenly he found a large map on the side of the road. Erick looked closely, if he was close to Lake Lucerne. The closest beach is Lido Ascona.
He began to remember that Lido Ascona is a fine sand beach with the largest baths in Switzerland. The tourist beach is close to the use of the Alps and not far from the city center
There was a big push to see the beach. A promise with Dira that never materialized. Slowly Erick ventured to visit the beach.
Arriving at the Lido Ascona area, Erick saw many green trees that surround the beach. Makes the area cooler and more soothing.
There are many entertainment venues and leisure areas. Such as bars, restaurants, children's playgrounds and fancy lodging.
Many people enjoy the beach. As for Erick, he just chose to sit on the white sand.
He did not want to do anything, his feelings continued to carry memories with Dira. If only they had succeeded from the pursuit of the police, maybe they are currently enjoying a vacation in Lido Ascona.
A volleyball suddenly rolled towards his feet. Erick saw the ball was filled with sand powder. From the side his eyes caught the figure of a little girl walking over.
The girl was very beautiful, her eyeballs were narrow with pale white skin. Straight black hair continued to fly due to the strong wind.
The child smiled sweetly, the lines of the face created were very charming. Erick finds out for a moment that the boy looks like Dira.
"Sir, Cone Sie meinen Ball nehmen?" the boy said he was speaking German.
Erick knows a little bit about German, so he immediately gave the volleyball to him.
The little boy smiled wider, this time Erick's heart was pounding. The girl is more like Dira.
"Vielen Dank!" said the boy as he waved at Erick.
The girl then turned around and walked away from Erick. Honestly, Erick was very confused as to what to do. He was very curious about the boy.
"Ich liebe dein Lucheln, schn wie Dira," Erick shouted at the boy.
Instantly the boy turned his back on Erick. He looked puzzled when the foreign man said something strange. The man said that the beautiful smile he had was similar to Dira.
In the middle of the girl's daydream, she was approached by a middle-aged woman. The woman had the face of a European bule. He looks a little scolded the child, maybe he does not like if the child talks to strangers.
With an annoyed face, the woman invites the child to immediately go and away from Erick.
"It turns out it was his mother" Erick muttered with a disappointed face.
While away from Erick, the bule-faced child and girl entered the back door of the car.
With a disheveled and twisted face, the child continued to snort in annoyance.
"Why the hell is Fiona, and her face is pouting that way?" ask a woman from the front seat of the wheel.
"Mother, I'm just continuing to be angry with Aunt Emily!" whine Fiona with spoiled.
"You know Jane, it's dangerous for a child to talk to a stranger at all" Emily replied.
"No ko ma'am, uncle is very nice. She even praised my beautiful smile. She said Fiona's smile was similar to Dira's.
Mom, who is Dira? Is she a princess who lives in a big palace?" asked Fiona very cheerfully.
"Dira?" asked the woman in surprise.
"Here Jane is, don't listen to this little boy. Sometimes he likes to digress," Emily argued with annoyance.
"I'm not lying auntie. Even I think my face is a little similar to that uncle. Besides being handsome, his eyeballs are narrowed the same as Fiona's!" babble Fiona is a little insistent.
Suddenly the woman called mother by Fiona gets out of the car. The woman ran with a pinch. He continued to move both legs with all his energy.
Arriving at the beach sand playground. The woman began to glance widely. He was looking for an uncle who had been told by his own son.
His breath was decapitated, his face displayed an incredible panic. He still could not see the mysterious uncle.
"Erick, is that you?" said Jane alias Dira in the heart.
Dira did not give up just like that, he continued to run around almost all parts of the beach. But Erick remains invisible, he's gone like a ghost.
"You've finally met Fiona, she's your son" said Dira slowly, his eyeballs tirelessly searching for Erick.
