At 7 p.m., Arion woke up from his sleep and he saw his bus was back. Arion was still lazy to move from his comfort, his mind drifting away.
"How did I find you, Sasa?" Arion muttered softly. He still missed the lackey girl so much, even he was eager to protect her from anything.
"If we meet again, I'll make sure it will only bring you happiness. Everything I have even willingly left behind just to be with you. If time can be replaced with money, I'll replace it and go back to the time you were with." Say Arion again. Without tears falling back.
"Stupid. If you see me, you'll make fun of me Sasa. I'm a whiny guy because of you."
"Fire.. Leon's coming down..." Leon said Arion in his daydream.
"Okay, happ!" Arion catches Leon in his trunk and lowers him and starts making bonfires around there in his special barrel.
"Bring Leon first, let's have dinner. Papi asked the cook's waiter for help." Arion and Leon obediently walked into the small bathroom on the bus and started cleaning himself. Leon has been able to bathe himself and does not want to be bathed again since he recovered.
After Arion had also cleaned himself they had dinner while looking at the darkness of the night, so silent and calm. Only the sound of the waves sounded simple.
"Leon wants to call you?" Ask Arion while pressing the call button.
"Yes, the same papi is the same.." Leon and Arion answered and chuckled when he knew Leon had forgotten because Hanny had sent the message first.
Almost 1 hour they talked with a video call and Leon was so enthusiastic and happy to tell his activities today.
"Leon trying to sleep outside tonight? But you have to wear a thick jacket, a mask and a head covering." Arion asks but looks like Leon doesn't dare because it's dark and there's nothing out there.
"Dare not papi. dark.." Answer irent.
"It's okay, next time. Let's sleep now, tomorrow the papi will take you fishing in the sea." Arion leads Leon back to his bed and turns on the sleeping lights to keep them from getting too dark.

Arion is still awake when it is midnight, he is still checking the reports given by his men who are still looking for the whereabouts of Sasa.
Arion read carefully every incoming email, so many reports but no 1 was useful. All the girls they found were not Sasa.
Arion felt so stupid, even 1 photo of Sasa he did not have. Melly had gone home to Sasa's parents but they also did not have 1 picture.
"Ah here it is.." Arion Mumbles. One of his men managed to get a photo of Sasa's passport, Vinsa was just that his name and Arion smiled finally he could see Sasa even though it was just a small photo.
"Leon must be happy to see this photo of his mom." Arion said, and he kept the photo on his phone.
"It looks like we have to go to Bali, or more to the east." Arion muttered again after reading the next report.
"May I find you soon Sasa." Said Arion while closing his laptop and laying down to try to sleep.
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
"Bapy awake... PAPI!" Leon shouted as he had been waiting while waking Arion for more than 20 minutes and it was now 9am.
"Ah.. Leon, what time is it?" Asked Arion who was still hugging his pillow.
"Hour 9 papi.. Leon laper." Replied Leon and the surprised Arion immediately sat down and rubbed his face many times.
"Sorry son, papi couldn't sleep last night hehe.." Reply Arion and go downstairs to wash his face.
Arion was making toast and omelet for Leon's breakfast, he piled bread, eggs, lettuce, tomatoes and a little mayonnaise along with tomato sauce, if the strand itself added spicy chili sauce.
Leon eats voraciously because he likes bread stacked with eggs and tomato sauce, the perfect combination for him.
"If you want to find a clam?" Asked Arion and the child nodded quickly and immediately devoured his last piece of bread.
Arion invites Leon and Cody to dig the sand and it turns out there are indeed braids.
"Fire..Leon can do it again." Shouted Leon happily and Arion took the clam and put it in the bucket he had brought.
"Put it in here, son.."
"Aaahh hahahahah Cody don't do that.." Leon's laughter was heard again because Cody dug firmly with his 2 tiny legs, not looking for shells instead the cute dog just dug a hole.
"Eh but there's this hole that Cody made, we'll just take." Arion said and sure enough they didn't need to dig because Cody had done his job well.
The little bucket was already full of shells and Arion would wash it.
"What's the fire in the shell?" Leon asked as Arion washed it many times because of the sand.
"Later noon we boil it, later papi make spices that do not matter to you yes, and this must be soaked first until the sand is gone." Clearly Arion and Leon nodded in understanding.

A week went by and Arion now runs his bus straight east and he doesn't stop at night. I don't know why his heart is so agitated. There was a deepening longing also in his heart, a feeling that increasingly made his heart ache and wanted it to feel like he was shouting loudly to relieve his feelings.
Finally at 4 am, Arion stopped his bus and rested in the beach area in the city of Banyuwangi and tomorrow afternoon he will go to Bali.
After sleeping for almost 3 hours Arion woke up again to prepare breakfast but he only remembered that this week he kept moving and did not have time to clean the bus and fill the groceries. So he decided to stop here for 1 night.
As usual, in the afternoon the bus was carried by bodyguards and 3 hours later returned clean and the materials were fully filled.
"Bapi.. Why did papi come here so quickly?" Leon asked who was a little worried about Arion.
"Is Leon tired? If we were here last night." Arion asked but Leon shook his head slowly.
"No papi, don't Leon just sleep eat play and read books, the tired is papi. Oma was angry last night but Papi was sleeping." Report Leon and Arion chuckled.
"Here's the papi hug."
Leon approached and sat on Arion's lap, his papa gently stroking his head and hugging him tightly.
"Papi miss mami and papi rasa mami are still around Bali, so papi want to go there soon." Arion.
"If so fast papi, Leon also wants to meet mami."
"Yes, but rest first. It's already at this hour and papi sleepy tomorrow morning we just crossed ya. Leon's never been on a ship, has he.."
"Yes, Leon just saw from the video on the utube, so want to get on the boat too."
"Ok, tomorrow we go. Now papi cook dinner first."
Arion moves Leon to the sofa and turns on the tv, then he immediately closes the bus door because it is raining and quite heavy. Fortunately, he did not take out the equipment.
Arion cooks chicken soup with potatoes and carrots, as Sasa often cooks first, then sautees long beans with spicy chili slices suitable for this cold night, leon, he makes vegetable salads.
