Your presence has replaced my nightmares with good dreams, my worries with happiness, and my strength with love.
I always smile when I look at you. For me this is someone who always fights for me with all his soul. And now time has kept us away for a while.
I am not a woman who falls in love easily. But since I saw you, I saw the rest of my life before my eyes. You've made me forget the bad memories of the past. In every smile of yours, in every drop of your tear, in your wave, I leave my happiness always to you.
Now, farewell is back to testing me. I have to be willing even if I am sick. I've done this before. A thousand regrets I have. Maybe this is my reward for ever leaving you.

That morning with a heavy heart Vania had to give up the departure of her husband for a while that could not be determined.
"Be careful on the road, take care of your health" said Vania who sounded hoarse because her tears began to fall.
"Hey why should I cry, don't make me harder to go. I promise I'll be back to pick you up soon. All you need to do is take good care of yourself" Devan said as he wiped the tears on Vania's cheeks with both of her thumbs.
Vania was getting saddened to hear her husband's words. He tried to strengthen himself by keeping smiling.
"Yes, stop crying. Or I'll take you to Kalimantan" said Vania.
Vania shook her head quickly, "don't want to".
Devan smiled and gently rubbed Vania's hair he brought her face closer to softly kissed Vania's forehead with affection.
"One more thing, keep this heart just for me" Devan continued then turned his hand on Vania's chest.
"Surely" he answered the lyrics, he grabbed Devan's right hand and kissed him. "Go I will always wait for you" he continued.
Devan steps out of the house towards the car that is waiting to pick him up in front of the fence.

After Devan's departure, Vania prepares to leave for the resto. As usual, he will go to the restaurant first to exchange his motorbike matic with a resto car to pick up Juna.
"Mama atit?" asked Juna because he saw the eyes of Vania who looked still damp.
"Dear, my mother had dust in her eyes" said Vania lying.
Vania runs the car back to the restaurant to continue her work while accompanying Juna to play in her room.
"KIA please come here for a while" call Vania to one of her employees named Kia to head to her room.
Kia went into the manager's room. He was silent to see the appearance of his manager who was different as usual. There were no hairpins or glasses perched on his nose.
"Why shut up, Ki. Here" asked Vania to wave her hand as Kia was just standing in the doorway.
"Yes, sorry. I was just a little surprised to see that Dhani looks different today, more fresh and beautiful" Kia praised as she walked closer.
Vania smiled, "thank you Ki. Please accompany Juna to play in the back for a while yes, I have to finish the job first" he continued asking for help and Lia nodded.
"Juna played with Kia first yes, mama want to finish mama's job for a while" he said to Juna
"Okay mama"
"Come on Juna, we go to the park behind the restaurant" asked Kia to take Juna.
Vania checked some reports two days ago because it was on leave yesterday.
"Huft, just a day off work just piled up" said Vania complained because it was almost lunch hour work just finished.
Vania picked up the phone she had not taken out of her bag. He opened the phone screen. No incoming messages or calls from Devan.
Vania was riled up. He moved from his seat. She didn't want to keep thinking about her husband. Vania walks to the back garden to meet her son.
"Juna, we have lunch first, baby" he called for Kia to take Juna to stand and approach Vania.
"Thank you Ki, already nemenin Juna" said Vs he to Kia.
"Sama-sama mbak Dhani, then I'm sorry to help the others again first"
"yes" replied Vania nodding.
Vania invites Juna to lunch first before finally taking Juna home.
In the afternoon as usual Sherin invites Juna to come home from her foster home.
"Where's Devan?" ask Sherin to Vania.
"No, he's on a business trip in Kalimantan"
"Will you go back to Jakarta?"
"So Sher, I just have to wait for him to come back here first. Do you know if he's going back to Jakarta?"
"He called me yesterday" Sherin replied
"Emmm... Is that okay, Sher?" asked Vania hesitated.
"Van, I always support whatever is best for you. Especially now who asked your husband. Come with her. Don't think about the resto, I'll find a replacement who can take care of it" Sherin replied patting Vania's arm gently.
Vania smiled and hugged Sherin's body, "thank you Sher, you've helped me a lot".
Sherin pulls away from Vania's arms. "Gue didn't do anything, Van. I should say thanks, You already want to take care of my small restaurant until it develops rapidly like this"
Vania smiles when she hears Sherin's answer.
"Yes I've come home first yes, pity my men if you get home early" said Sherin while chuckling.
"Yes be careful" replied Vania. "Juna, mami ngajakin go home, baby" he said turning to Juna who was busy playing cars.
"Yes mommy".
Juna who was very obedient with mami and her mother immediately moved and took the hand of her mother.
"Mama's drug" said Juna kissing.Vania's cheeks and then moving her palms before leaving.
Vania is home now. He glanced back at his phone screen. But the results remain the same, no notice from Devan listed there. A feeling of anger and anxiety returned to cover her when she did not find news from her husband.
Until the evening before, Vania tried to keep thinking positively even though her heart was always filled with fear.
Vania went to the front porch. Look at the moon and the stars that decorate the night.
Vania raised her face, closing her eyes looking for peace in her heart.
"As long as we're still looking at the same sky, I think it'll be fine. You have made the wait to prove your sincerity. I am too, I will wait for the proof of true love" his inner self is full of confidence.
Vania entered the house because the night air was so cold that it enveloped the city of Surabaya at that time. He closed the door and went back to his room. He took his cell phone to get close to him. She didn't want to miss a single word from her husband.
Free to also look for news about her husband in the media. The man seemed to close all news about his personal affairs in the media since the departure of Vania to Surabaya.
