Amira opened her eyes, a happy hue emanated from the look on her face, as the twins woke her up with movement.
Amira stroked her increasingly distended stomach, a new hope that will be present in her life, and there will be a new greeting for her, Mother, there will be someone who calls her by Mother's call.
The twins in her womb, as if giving new strength to her, Amira went up, and went straight to the bathroom, Although blind, but she always self-sufficient, that is why it is easy to adjust to new environments and new places to live, the weather there is very extreme according to Indonesians, especially now there is starting to enter winter.
Amira painted in the living room, because their family home there, not as big as the house in Indonesia, the house belongs to Mr. De Amira, who works in the office of the KBRI in Berlin.
Amira heard a rather noisy voice from outside, but she remained focused on her painting, painting when not looking, indeed requires a high level of concentration, Amira painting not for display or for sale, he paints deliberately, so that if he can see, he himself can judge his painting when he does not see, there is no busyness anything he can do to divert his world, except painting.
Someone greeted him, though,
"Hi, Amira," the gentle voice of a man.
Amira bangtung, because she did not recognize the voice of the man.
"Hi Also," replied Amira briefly.
"You don't recognize me, do you?" ask her.
"You who? just tell me I don't like to play riddles" he replied.
"I'm Arkan, Amira" he answered.
"Arkan, my mischievous cousin," he joked.
"Why the hell do you remember, just my mischief, naughty little boy, that's natural" he replied.
Amira was interested in talking to Arkan, almost ten years he and Arkan did not meet.
Amira took off her brush and washed her hands, she sat down, intending to talk to Arkan.
"Arkan, how are you?" amira asked excitedly, like she made a new friend, after a few days of living here, she had never spoken to anyone before.
"I'm good Amira, are you alone?" ask Arkan.
Amira did not answer, she just bowed.
"I'm sorry I didn't deliberately ask you that, I've heard all your stories, from your Father and Mother, I hope you're patient Amira, I know you're a strong woman," arkan.
"Yes, Arkan, if I wasn't strong, I wouldn't be here" Amira said.
"Yesterday when I went to Indonesia, I met with Raihan, and reportedly, he was separated from his wife, Amira."
"Trus what does that have to do with me?" ask Amira.
"Amira I think Raihan is more appropriate for you, than your husband, Raihan matures, while Dion, "his words stopped.
"Enough Arkan, don't mention his name in front of me, it's the same as pouring salt over my wound that just dried up." Amira shed her tears.
Arkan approached Amira and hugged her, "I'm sorry Amira, I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm sad to hear all the stories about you, from the accident that buried all your dreams, up to the betrayal your husband did, I just want you to heal your wounds, Amira, and I know, the most powerful way for you is to open up to someone, you're young, you're, you deserve to be happy" Arkan said, hugging Amira.
"I can do it all by myself, I don't need anyone else, Arkan" Amira replied.
"I know you're Amira's strong woman, but if you need anything you can call me" they let go of her opener.
Arkan wiped away the tears on Amira's cheek, and it felt like he was getting stronger.
"Have enough to talk about me, you alone, instead of Oma having prepared a candidate for you, Arkan?"
"I don't want Amira's match, I want to defy the traditions in our family, you're one of the people who inspired me Amira, that tradition can't be continued, see how many couples are separated, just because they are married because they are in a match and not because of love" Arkan explained.
"Not so is Arkan, I too am married for love.but in fact, should I also separate? and then again, there's nothing I can blame, because that's the choice I made myself" Amira said with a smile.
"Well, smile, I'm happy to see it too. " Ackan dropped Amira's nose.
They chatted all day, sometimes giggling with their laughter, sometimes sadness in their eyes, and Amira was quite amused by the presence of Arkan.

And for a few days, Dion had never spoken to Alice, and he had intended to meet Dion, at his boarding house.
Alice knocked on Dion's boarding door, before she opened the door, Dion was a little surprised by Alice's arrival, although she did not want to be disturbed, but she tried to appreciate the guests.
"What's Alice?" ask Dion at the door.
"Can I go in on Dion?" ask Alice.

"Dion I brought food for you, Padang cuisine, rendang and potato parchment."Alice thrusts the bushel into Dion.
"Thank you Alice, but you don't have to bother, I've eaten" Dion replied.
"If so, you can save it for later, Dion." Alice is sitting.
Dion keeps his food in the kitchen, after which, he goes back out to meet Alice.
Dion sat slightly away from Alice, even though they were in a parallel position.
"Dion why are you avoiding me?" alice asked, looking disappointed at the words.
"I have to get away from you, Lice, I don't want to be disturbed, I want to finish my studies quickly, so I'm with my wife again" Dion said.
"So, do you think I'm bothering you?" ask Alice.
"Lice, I don't want any trouble like yesterday anymore, because of my problem with Tyas and I, my wife left me Lis, and I've sworn to wait for her, until she comes back."
"But Dion, we can be friends" he replied.
"Yesterday you said we were just friends, but in fact you had a feeling about me, right, and worse, you did something reckless."
Alice just kept quiet, "I promise Dion won't do that reckless thing again, but Dion, you don't avoid me anymore" she said.
They were silent for a moment, Dion also did not know what to say, suddenly he was surprised by the arrival of Tyas.
Seeing Alice, Tyas went straight in without excuse.
"Would you like to come here?" ask Tyas.
"You bothering my husband?" ask her questions while pointing at Alice.
Alice was immediately emotional, she stood up and faced Tyas.
"His husband? She just had to marry you, 'cause you're pregnant with her cousin, right? you shameless woman, bitch." Alice insulted Tyas.
"What do you say?" Tyas whose emotions immediately grabbed Alice's hair, and vice versa, they pulled each other and threw words of contempt and reproach.
"Based on cheap women,"Alice.
"Bas with the actor, how dare you disturb my husband" Tyas.
Dion was shocked to see the incident, a calm atmosphere suddenly stormy, because he did not want to disturb the neighbors, Dion stood up and broke them.
The incident was so fast, Dion immediately broke both of them, Dion pulled Tyas' hand, and away, but Alice who was not satisfied, pulled back Tyas' hair.
"Already! already! snarled Dion, how dare you fight in my house," snapped Dion, and at once they were silent.
"Alice you're home now," Dion kicked out.
"No, Dion just wants to be with me" said Tyas, sneering at Alice, Alice returned home with a heartless crush.
Dion stared intently at Tyas' eyes, "It just so happens that you're here, there's something I'm going to tell you," Dion approached Tyas, and looked into his eyes.
Dion hugged Tyas' body, "Sorry Tyas, I know this will hurt your feelings, but rest assured, it's for the best" Dion paused for a moment.
As he knew what Dion was going to say, Tyas hugged Dion more and more, crying.
"Tyas, I fell on you" he said to Tyas' ears, and Dion's tears fell.
Actually, Dion did not have the heart to say it, for some reason he always could not bear to face Tyas, but this time, he had to argue firmly, because he saw the increasingly aggressive character of Tyas.
