Al again had to leave the country of his birth to go to the company he built a few years ago. It is hard for him to leave Naya with his unstable condition, but what power, his company also needs him. Maybe after this Al should think about opening a branch in this country.
It had been a month since Al had brought him to the shores of the lake and given him much understanding and advice that had made him slowly rise from his slump. Every day Al always calls to ask about Naya's condition. Al never once missed calling Naya.
This morning, Naya decided to return to continue her education which will soon be completed. Both her parents and brother looked at Naya confusedly seeing that the girl was neat this early in the morning.
"Good morning mom.dad.."
"Boy brother.." Naya's greeting made everyone freeze to hear her warm greeting.
They can't believe they saw Kanaya back. Although not as cheerful as usual, but at least the girl has started to leave the room without forcing anyone.
Naya smiled despite being slightly impressed forced to relieve the heart of her family. He still remembers Al's message last time before the man said goodbye to return to another country where his company is located.
"When you feel down and hurt again. When you feel reluctant to continue living. When you feel sad again and you feel alone, always remember if there will be more pain and hurt to see you like that. Believe me, Akbar will never like and will not be calm to see the woman he loves like this. Be the Kanaya we know.." Al's message is always ringing in his ears.
"Darling.." Kirei's call makes Naya realize from her daydream about Al's message to her.
"Nay wants his fried rice mom.." The more they look. Aside from being happy, there was of course a bit of shock over Naya's change in attitude.
"Let's take it.." Khanza who saw Kirei was still surprised to take the initiative to take breakfast for his sister-in-law.
"You're going to college, what's Sha up?". Tanya Naya made Aisha almost choke.
" In-dianter sister.." Aisha glanced at Kai. Yes, for several weeks Naya slumped, Kai always took the time to drive and pick up his wife.
"From now on Aisha let me be with me again bang.." Kai turned his head, looking at his sister who was smiling warmly at him. Everyone's hearts were filled with relief. It seemed Al's struggle to persuade the girl was paying off a little.
"Date your sister-in-law ya.."
"Yes..Nay still bang". Kai smiled happily. His sister slowly became him.
****
Apparently Naya only returned to being Naya when around her beloved family. Naya's attitude changes to outsiders, she keeps her distance and not as friendly as before. Aisha felt it, even her sister-in-law was impressed more self-sufficient and cold to others. I don't know what the reason is until Naya chooses to be as indifferent as now.
Naya's phone rings, Naya picks it up and sees the caller's id. The thin smile on her tiny lips saw who was calling her at this time. He already knew what the man was going to ask after his phone call.
" Assalamualaikum sis.."
"Wa'alaikum.. How are you, Kay? Is it better?" Naya smiled at the same question every day.
"Aren't you the same thing every day?". Ask Naya quietly.
" No. You're where Kay is. How's rame?". Ask Al
"Nay on campus, brother.." I don't know what the young man's reaction was like across the street.
"You're going to Kay's college?? Did you start college??". Naya can hear a tone of disbelief from Al's voice.
" Often times, brother.." Naya chuckled softly.
"Smart kid .that's the new Kanaya I know". Naya is sure that Al feels the same relief as her entire family.
"I'm looking for a guidance counselor first sis.."
"Learning is yes. His script work actually let his college steel spout".
" Yes brother..Assalamualaikum ".
" Wa'alaikumsalam's.. " Naya disconnects the phone call from Al after Al answers his greetings.
Naya again continued her steps to find her guidance counselor. He wanted to quickly finish his education and work so that at least he could slightly take his mind off Akbar's shadow.
While in other parts of the world, Al was smiling while stroking a photo of Naya taken by the person he had hired to continue to monitor and monitor Naya's condition while she was not there.
"Sir..Mr.." Call Luna doubtful
While the people who were currently in the meeting looked in wonder at Al. What makes the fierce and cold boss can smile so warm just because he looks at his phone.
"Sir Yohan.." Luna ventured to pat Al on the shoulder who was still engrossed with her world.
Al immediately turned his head when he felt a quite hard touch on his shoulders. He saw Luna, his secretary standing next to him. He raised his eyebrows as if asking 'What?'.
"Sorry.sir Robert is done.." Luna glanced at the middle-aged man standing in front of her presenting her ideas and ideas.
Al a little flirting, he forgot if he was currently in a meeting with his subordinates to discuss his plan to build a subsidiary company in his home country. Naya can really make him forget his surroundings.
"Ehm..." Al cleared his throat for a while before staring at one by one his subordinates who looked astonished to see him not focusing on the meeting.
"Give all your reports to Luna. I'll read and check it out later".
" Meeting is over. You can go back to your room. Thanks for the time". Al got up and walked out of the meeting room.
While Chris who is the general director of the company just smiled while shaking his head to see the behavior of his boss and best friend since 6 years ago. He immediately got up and caught up with Al who was more out, leaving the surprised faces of his co-workers to see the ice man smile let alone finish the meeting without raging as usual.
tock..
tock..
tock..
"Now.."
After getting permission from his superiors, Luna entered with a stack of files that Al asked for at each section head after the meeting.
"Can I help you again, sir?". Ask Luna politely.
" No.you can go back to your desk. Thanks Lun.." Al's words made Luna nod and bend her body slightly before retreating from before Al.
"What's Chris??". Ask Al who is still focusing on the file in his hand.
" Is there something I missed?? Why can our ice man smile at a meeting?? ". Chris asked Al. And sure enough, Al immediately raised his head when Chris discussed the matter of the meeting just now.
" Nothing. Is it really noticeable if I smile? ". Al asked a little doubtfully.
" Yes.our ice man looks very happy. What was?? Has the girl accepted you?". Chris asked curiously.
Al shook his head, making Chris frown in confusion. If not, then what makes his friend so happy.
"Then?? I'm sure it's related to the girl you've been telling me about.." Chris pressed on and made Al smile again.
"You're like Chris' mothers. Do you often hang out with those gossipy ladies?". Al's question made Chris snort. Al chuckled even more at the annoyance of his friend.
" He's going to college.he's starting to move on with Chris. I feel relieved.." Chris immediately changed his facial expression. He knew how deeply the ice man loved the girl named Kanaya whom he heard from the man's mouth.
He knows how devastated and wounded Al is when he hears that the girl his friend loves will be engaged to a friend during Al High School. Chris knows everything about Al and Kanaya.
"And you haven't expressed your feelings??". Ask Chrus in wonder. He does not understand Al's mind, if love why not just express it.
Al shook his head weakly with a slick smile. He felt like a coward who did not dare to express his taste to Naya. He is afraid that Naya will hate and stay away from him if he is determined to declare his love. For now, let him live as a coward who guards his unrequited love.
" I'm too afraid she hates me Chris. Let it be like this, at least I can take care of it". Al looked at the ceiling of his room. His mind could never turn away from Naya. Though all this time the grandmother and Chris always try to get closer to some girls. But Al always rejected it subtly.
"I can only pray for your happiness. May one day your girl find out how much you love her". Chris got up, patted his friend's shoulder a few times and left Al alone with all his thoughts on Naya.

" Why not work here, baby.why should go all the way there". Kirei was still reluctant to let his daughter go far away from him.
"We're still in the same country mom. Whenever mommy can come".
" Daddy has a Nay company, you can also work for your two brothers. Or you can work in a hospital.why should bother looking for a job in a distant place". No different from Kirei, Tama was reluctant to be far from her daughter.
"I just want to find a new experience dad, mom. I promise I'll visit you here often.."
"Let Naya go mom, dad".. Ken who saw the code from his sister finally persuaded his parents. It was Kai who helped him. It was actually hard for both of them to let their beloved sister away from her supervision, but Naya was adamant to keep going.
" How can you allow it?". Omel Kirei looked at his two sons
"Mommy's lonely without you dear.." Kirei hugged Naya again. Naya is not far from her loved ones. But he could not continue to be there, he could not take his mind off Akbar. Even after almost half a year of the man's departure.
"Mommy's got Khanza's mom with Aisha. Mommy also has Rere now.What loneliness??". Tempta Naya makes Kirei tick.
" Khanza's sister is also pregnant, mommy will have another grandchild". Persuade Naya.
"Mom.biarin Naya go. Maybe after fumbling away from family, he did not feel at home continue to want to go home". Kai launched his action to help his sister.
" Where is there like that". Cibir Tama and Kirei hanpir together.
"I can't forget the same brother Blue mom. This city holds too many of our memories.can mommy and daddy let me go for a moment to get sister??". Tama and Kirei were silent, they did not think that his daughter was still in the shadow of Akbar.
" Dear..." Kirei's voice trembled looking at his daughter already in tears.
"I beg mom.I promise I'll come home often"..
After a long and fierce debate, Naya finally won and both parents had to sincerely let her son try to wander in the city of people.
" Go home if you have trouble. The daddy company is yours too". Tama hugged her happy looking daughter.
"Where are you going to work, baby?? What firm?? Then what will you work as??". Kirei strafed Naya with a question.
" Y.K food mom.I will work in the financial sector just like the courses I have taken".
"You are not accepted yet". There is great hope that his daughter will be rejected by the company of his child's target.
" Sadly, mommy's prayer this time will not be answered. I've been accepted and will start work next week mom.." There was a small grin from Naya's tiny lips that made Kirei tickle.
"Two days I'll go mom.."
"What?!!! Why so fast?? It can't be another week, or a month, if it can be another year". Kirei's speech excited Naya who was now sneering.
" That's the same as not going to mommy!". Cibir Naya made both her brother and sister-in-law who had been silent for a while laugh.
"Then where are you going to live Kanaya???? Mommy hasn't had a chance to find yourself a place to live". Kirei was so excited that he made her husband shake his head in anxiety.
" Calm down baby.why are you excited". Tama calms his wife
"Light how the hell mas. This is his son going to sleep where he's not wanted". Finally Tama was silent, rather than he was again sprayed all-out by his wife.
" Well, how is this mas.." Kirei looks panicked.
"Mom.mom.."
"Mommy!!!" Shouted Naya who was anxious to see her mother panicked.
"Naya got apartment facilities from mom's company.."
"really?? Thank goodness.." Kirei was relieved.
"Wait Nay. Not if people applying for work have to be interviewed, right?". Kirei suddenly thought about it.
" Mommy don't think I was interviewed??". Tanya Naya chuckled amusedly looking at her mother's face.
"Nay interviewed online mom.karna Naya's satisfactory value and recommendation from the campus, so Naya can go through an interview session by phone doang". Clearly Naya made Kirei understand.
" Nay is trying to get up..Nay left not to forget brother, but Nay can't be here. But here, in this place, in this town there are too many memories. Nay can't get up here..Nay promises to be the Naya he knows. It's Blue.."
