He looked at the man who was focusing on the street. "We're going a long way isn't it a problem, are we?" Ask Devan again. "Gue wants to take you somewhere."

Lya nodded making Devan smile.

I didn't think Devan would actually take him far away. Seeing the car they are using is passing on the highway to exit Jakarta.

Devan is still focused on driving while Lya is enjoying the breeze from the window she opened. Looking at the side of the road unconsciously they had already walked for several hours.

Lya's smile expands. Devan really took him far away.

With a smile that was still faithful on her lips, Lya turned to the man who was standing next to her.

"Eat first yes," said Devan pulled Lya's hand towards a dining place located not far from where he stood.

His uniform he covered with Devam's white sweater. The man was wearing his black sweater.

Order some special food from the place. I really enjoyed the food there.

After eating, they wandered around the place until it was dark.

"Lo really took me far away" chirped Lya who was sitting in the sand.

"Likes?" Ask Devan.

Lya nodded. His lips did not stop smiling. "Like! Make Dev."

"Smile on Yes! I have always been beautiful in my eyes. But your smile is for me!"

She did not answer, but she kept smiling.

"Last time I saw that twilight with Dika. On my 14th birthday," said Lya.

Devan looked at Lya. "Must learn from the twilight. Where he assures that as beautiful as anything that comes, it will surely go too eventually."

"The universe always has a way of hurting its inhabitants. But two also have many ways to make the residents feel happy" said Lya. "I used to feel so complete, even after Dika's departure I was able to accept my life. Although I have to be away from my parents, I feel good. There's Diki who's always been my friend, there's mom and dad, there's Clarissa, there's Monster and there's lo."

Lya's smile was thinning. "Yesterday I was very happy because bang Karta ngakuin me as his sister. Seeing her care for me, Karta completes the empty position of Dika in my life. But sometimes reality will seem stupid when compared to expectations. I shouldn't expect much more from others."

Devan shakes. "Trust me, Karta did not intend to say that. She's emotional, she's fragile too. Karta is not as cool as you see, she is not as strong as you think."

"Lo is so close to Karta?"

Devan smiled, looking at Lya softly. "Everybody has a past, whether it's fun or sad. It just so happens that Karta has a bad past and it turns out that your brother is one of the characters who contributed to the past of Karta."

"Gue's not mad at Dev! I'm just disappointed. I don't know and don't understand. If there's something clear to me about this, I hope I can be wise to understand the situation."

The sea breeze hit the bodies of Lya and Devan. As if reminding to immediately return as the sky gets darker.

"Let's go home!" Devam stood up and extended his hand.

She reached Devan's hand and stood up. Walk along the beach with a very calming atmosphere. Lya had actually rested today with Devan accompanying her.

She was grateful, at least she had to do that so as not to be stamped as a despicable human being by God. Although God never rebukes His servants, is not it the duty of each of them to always be grateful.

For what they got today.

Over the air that is breathed.

On the sun that is still shining.

Over still flowing water.

Over a smile that can still be etched.

For the filling food.

And over clothes that warm the body.

At least we can thank God for some small things that turned out to have a big impact on us.

Be thankful to be happy!

"Rame," chirped Devan.

"Mommy's home!" Reply Lya smiled.

"Gih enter. Shower, keep resting!"

Lya nodded. "Once again, Dev!"

Devan smiled looking at Lya. "When we walk again."

I got off the car. He waved his hand at Devam who started reviving his car engine.

After Devan's car was not seen, Lya walked into the house.

"Assalamualaikum," said Lya slowly.

"Glamma!"

"Yeahah!" Mami Risma hugged Lya.

I knew that her mother was crying. Lya returned her mother's embrace while looking at the people who were there, there was Clarissa who was also crying with Mother Intan, there was a Papi Agung whose eyes looked very red. Duku and David's father just silently stared at Lya.

"Sorry mommy son, sorry!"

I'm sure they knew about the disease.

"It's not mom's fault."

Papi Agung walked up to Lya and Mami Risma, the middle-aged man hugging the two women he loved so much. "Sorry! Sorry Yes, sorry papi. Papi failed to be a good parent to you."

"This is not the fault of mommy or papi, please do not beat yourself up. It doesn't want to."

"Mami will take care of Lya, mami will accompany Lya here. We're going home, son."

Lya smile. His parents' hugs were released. The girl nodded. "Let's go back. I want to stay with my mom and dad!"

Both of Lya's parents smiled.

"Gel gel!" Tweet Clarissa.

Lya chuckled amusedly looking at Clarissa's face that was flushed red from crying. "Here!" Lya spread her hand.

Clarissa immediately hugged Lya. The girl came back crying. "It must be really sick."

Lya shook. "Gue is strong!" Reply Lya laughed a little. "Lo want to shut up is that it?" Ask Lya to Diki.

The tall man pursed his lips and walked up to Lya and Clarissa. Diki hugged the two girls in front of him. "Let's be happy together!" Whisper Lya on both. "Please behave as usual, I'll be fine as long as you're always there for me."

Clarissa nodded. "We will always be there for you! Trust me."

"Let's riot again. There's a Lidya bu car tire waiting to be made in the engine!" Diki's words made Lya and Clarissa laugh.

"This time you have to come!" Said Lya to Clarissa.

"Will! I don't want to bother myself, later if caught how?"

"The most in law!" Answer Lya and Diki together.

Diki's parents and Lya's parents just shook their heads at the behavior of the three teenagers.
