AUTHOR POV
This afternoon Narita was about to go to campus, he would meet some of his friends and discuss their respective research.
While riding his bike, his phone suddenly rang.
“Hallo, Mr. Drake” greeted Narita after learning that Drake was the one who called him.
“You've finished packing?”
“Already, Sir. But I'm already leaving for campus”
“Wait another 15 minutes we arrive.”
“Good, Tuan”
After Narita watched over his belongings being transported by several stocky bulls, he was now ready to leave for campus.
-- Park near the library ---
“Hai, Narita!” a man shouted as he waved his hand at Narita.
Narita slightly ran over to where the men were gathered. Yes, there are 4 students there, fellow students S3.
“Sorry I'm late” Narita with a gasping voice.
“Never mind's. Sitting” one offered Narita sitting next to him, without thinking long, he followed his offer.
“Where's your research? To what stage? What about your supervising professor?” ask the man to Narita.
They also had a very serious discussion. Each holds his laptop. Occasionally some are seen typing, some pay attention to explanations, and some throw their opinions at each other.
Narita is very sociable, so grateful to have many friends to discuss in his research. It was not easy for him to study S3 in Australia. There is no lecture schedule here, but the lecture period is only research. They are targeted to complete some research. If they do not complete their research on time, it will be even more burdensome in their final years.
Luckily Narita is not the type of person who likes to procrastinate. He deliberately did not bring his twins with several reasons, namely wanting to see the situation and condition of the lecture, the rhythm of research, and how heavy the burden he had to complete. If it is felt, he has enough time to research as well as parenting, maybe he will bring it.
In fact, the first year was very difficult, because Narita needed an adjustment. Well, because he has been able to adjust, he feels he can set the time to go to campus during the day, while the morning and afternoon off, which is why he tries to find work part time.
The Flashback
The beginning of her work as nanny Karen was a coincidence. At that time Narita was in the park deket complex Karen's house, he deliberately sought and explored some beautiful and cool parks to find inspiration in writing. When Narita's eyes caught the cute behavior of a Caucasian child the same age as his child, his heart became moved to approach him. Looking at the little boy, he felt a deep kangen in his son.
When Narita approached Karen, Karen who was sitting on the grass was spoken to and asked for a joke. The little boy who was usually afraid of the person he had just met, apparently did not feel afraid of being approached by Narita. Narita who wanted to learn, instead spent almost an hour to hold, invite to play with Karen, as well as chat with nanny Karen at that time.
When the beautiful bule was about to go home, Narita asked her nanny to bring Karen back tomorrow to the park again. From there, the next meeting finally took place. Karen's nanny feels that Narita is very sincere with Karen, so there's no reason for her to suspect Narita.
Although Narita calls her children every day, as a mother, she always thinks of the children she left when they were 4 months old. When Narita went to Australia, Daffa and Dafina were only 4 months old. Actually he could not leave his two hearts to the mother who was already old twilight, but how else, he could not take it. Narita's scholarship allowance was partly sent to the village to meet the daily needs of Daffa and Dafina, as well as to pay an assistant who helped the mother take care of her two children.
When her nanny at the time reveals that she is about to resign, her nanny offers Narita to become a nanny for Karen. Narita who has been able to adjust to life in Australia and feels to have free time in the morning and afternoon, plus the distance between where he lives, Karen's house, and the campus is not too far away, it can be reached by using a bicycle, and in addition to getting a salary that will be able to add to the cost of his life and his children, making Narita accept the offer.
Considering Narita was a recommendation from a previous nanny, and when Drake interviewed her and tested it by asking Narita to get acquainted with Karen at a glance, it turned out that Karen was very happy and not afraid, Drake finally accepted it. Yes, Drake accepts Narita to work as a nanny according to the provisions of Narita, only working in the morning and evening, with the agreement of working hours that have been mutually agreed.
Flashback Off
They were ready to part ways, because the discussion was over.
“Na, I'll take ya!” take one of Narita's friends named Darren.
“No need, Darren. Thank ye. I rode my bike” Narita replied with a smile.
When the other friends had said goodbye, Darren still faithfully accompanied Narita to walk towards the parking lot of his bike.
“You still live there?”
“There? Do you know where I live?” Narita's forehead wrinkled, quite astonished by Darren's question.
“Owh, at that time I was able to see you enter a dormitory” Darren was a little bit surprised to realize his error asking that because actually he had been secretly following Narita.
“Owh. I just moved today.” Said Narita.
“Moving? Where?”
“I work as a nanny, so I stay at my master's house”
“Work? So nanny? If you need a job, why not say it? In my company can work part time, part time not from working hours, but from the output of work that can be completed. So flexible time” Darren explained.
“My company?” ask Narita in wonder.
“Hehe, yes Na. It just so happened that my family had a small business, had a few employees. So if you plus doan, we can still pay him” Darren answered with his typical grin.
Narita also commented on the smile of looking at Darren who seemed to cover up something, because he said it with a slight nervous tone.
Yes, indeed Narita is familiar and familiar with people, but not all of his friends are willing to share his personal life with Narita. Not even one of Narita's friends knew that she had a child. And vice versa, Narita never knows what about the personal life of his friends. They met only to discuss research, their respective professors, and everything about Australia, but none of them told about their personal lives. Narita never wanted to know about it either, so he never questioned it. For him, they want to discuss their research alone, already very grateful for Narita, let alone he is in a country whose individualism level is quite high, it is natural that they behave like that.
Arriving at the bike park, Narita said goodbye.
“Darren me first!”
“Na, may I visit you sometime in your current residence?”
