In a cemetery, a man was sitting in front of a tomb. The young man looked like he was talking to someone, but he was actually alone there. While talking, his hand occasionally stroked the headstone that stuck on top of the tomb in front of him.
With a sad look in his eyes, the young man spoke in a soft voice. "Oma, Clarence is leaving. Clarence will continue Clarence's life as Oma would. Clarence promises not to disappoint Oma. Clarence will try even if he can't as fast as Oma asks. Clarence's gonna change, Oma. Clarence will prove it to Oma because only Oma is the one Clarence cares about the most. "
The young man smiled gently as he stroked the tombstone. "Clarence hopes he can be Clarence's life partner, even if it's not what Oma wants. Clarence will try to do well. Hopefully he will continue even if our relationship is actually just a friend. If that's the case, Oma don't be disappointed, huh? Clarence himself could not force that desire on him. He approved Oma's request alone Clarence was already very grateful. After all, Clarence himself was like this, how could Clarence ask him to go through this marriage like everyone else?"
The young man stayed there for a long time. Until it was not felt for him suddenly the sky had started to darken.
"Oma, Clarence go first. Oma take care of Clarence from up there, huh? Clarence dear Oma. Goodby. Clarence will come again and promise, when it comes later, Clarence will take him. Clarence will try, Oma."
The young man smiled again and finally decided to leave his grandmother's final resting place.

Karin seemed to sit quietly in her cafe while staring out the window. The girl was silent with a sad look. His heart felt that there was something strange about your attitude.
"Two days have passed, but why is his attitude still the same? Why does he seem to be quiet when he's near me? Did I make a mistake?"
Karin took a deep breath as she felt tired. Tired of waiting for your attitude that never returned to the way it was. He is confused himself, even if there is a problem, why every time asked the answer is always the same? "I'm fine." Andara answered with a smile.
Meanwhile, the person who made Karin feel sad was currently waiting for news from someone. The girl's gaze could not be separated from the phone she held. His gaze looked worried and also restless.
"Why didn't he call me? Why didn't he answer my messages and calls? Is she okay in there?"
Andara tapped her index finger at the table. "Did I just ask Diana aunty? But he must have thought we had a problem. Haaah... I'm really worried about Roy."
"But if he's doing anything, Aunty's gonna tell me, right?"
Finally Andara gave up and put her phone on the table. Watching the show on television alone because Karin and Rika have not come home from where they work.

Roy looked around his room holding his big bag. The young man was reluctant to leave his room. But soon he finished his activities and rushed down to his grandmother's room.
The young man was silent for a moment before entering the already uninhabited room. His steps slowly entered the room which left behind a myriad of memories. He breathed a long breath and looked claustrophobic.
"Why does it still feel so heavy? I still want to be here but Oma is gone. I can't explain how I feel."
Roy went around the room looking at the photos on the wall. The young man smiled but also looked like he wanted to cry.
After a long time, although he still felt dissatisfied to be there, he finally finished everything and walked slowly out of the room. "Goodbye, Oma" he said, closing the door. It was as if someone was in the room.
Then Roy took his phone and called someone. "Mom, I'm leaving today." The look and intonation of his voice seemed flat, as if he was not talking to his mother.
"......."
"I'm leaving now, Mom. It's okay if I go alone. Mommy just continue Mommy's work. I'm fine."
"......."
He walked out of the house while occasionally looking back. "Goodbye and see you again. I'll make sure, by the time I get back here, I'll be on my new path." Then Roy really left his house.

The clear sky was already dark. It was so dark that it made the facial expression of a girl seem to become even more cloudy. The girl looked gloomy, although from this morning she already looked like that.
The girl's gaze kept on going out there. He stared at the road a few meters from his residence. Like waiting for someone, that is what others can guess when they see it.
The girl was standing in front of her room. Quiet yourself while holding the guardrail. Not realizing how sad the gaze of someone who kept looking at him was.
"Become..."
Andara turned her head as Karin called out to her from within. The girl let out a long sigh after being silent for a while. "Yes?" Respond with a soft voice. His body did not move from where he was standing.
Finally Karin relented and walked over to Andara outside. "What's wrong? Why do you often look so moody?" ask Karin gently.
Andara lowered her head, she did not change her standing position. "none. I'm fine."
"Honest." Andara remained silent.
Karin took a deep breath and followed what Andara was doing, which was looking towards the road while holding the guardrail.
"You've never been like this, how can you say there's nothing? I'm really worried, Dara. Be honest, even if your honesty can hurt me."
Andara looked at Karin's sad face. Honestly, you don't feel like you can see it. But the thing he was worried about right now was impossible for him to say to Karin. "I just still feel sad."
Karin looked at him confused and worried as well. "What's wrong? What makes you so sad?"
Andara let out a long sigh and stared towards the road as she said a little something that bothered her. Yes, only a few of the many that he kept secret.
"Actually, I went to Surabaya when you thought I was in my house." Karin still looked at him calmly. He didn't seem surprised at all.
"My parents took me there to see my old friend Oma. He's been sick. But during our few days there, Oma's old friend passed away. "
Silent.
It was as if time had stopped turning. It was as if the whole world was listening to what Andara was saying.
Karin looks surprised right now. The girl began to be able to guess what reason made you look so sad.
"I'm still feeling sad, Karin. I'm sad to see my Oma lose her best friend. I was sad to see him cry. But I also felt another sadness. I'm afraid, Oma I'm going to go like her old best friend. "
