A year passed, and,
Nadine and Nathan are now preoccupied with college and basketball of course. As per the advice of Nathan and Christian, Nadine has finally moved on and majored in psychology now.
Nathan is still in the Putra Garuda basketball club. The plan this year, Nathan's contract with the sketch club will end.
"Sister Nathan!" Say hello to Annel to Nathan who is working out alone on the front page.
"Hi! Just home?" Reply Nathan who went straight towards the fence.
Nathan immediately invites Annel into his yard.
"There's an extra lesson" replied Annel, who now sits on the minicourt floor. The girl plays basketball in front of him.
"Where's Nadine?" Ask Annel dyed.
"Still training with the girls' basketball team on campus. Soon they have a tournament" Nathan explained.
Annel just nodded in understanding.
"Tumben went home alone?" nathan asked.
"Tadi with temen. But Annel went down in front of the compound, " Obviously Annel was still playing the ball in his hand.
"Mama again there is a need for the problem," added Annel again who only greeted Nathan with a nod.
"Annel heard Nathan's brother wants to move clubs next season. Really really?" Annel asked shifted the subject.
"New plan anyway." Nathan scratched his un-itchy head.
"Why move, brother?" Annel asked again.
"You change the mood." Nathan smiled wryly.
"You guys avoid the rumors that make the sultry," added Nathan again still smiling wryly.
"Rumors?" Annel doesn't understand.
"Know for yourself, right? Many news circulating that compare my basketball skills as papa. Not to mention rumors about me being able to enter Putra Garuda because of papa's interference. There is nothing at all."
"And it's all the original make me sultry as little down lately," Nathan's story at length.
"Not to mention this season I'm just in reserve. And down in the last minutes. Feels useless this skill of mine," added Nathan again who again displays a wry smile.
Annel patted Nathan's back to encourage him.
"Yaudah, if according to Nathan's brother it's the best decision," said Annel who still pat Nathan on the back.
"I'm sorry, because Annel made Nathan's sister sad" added Annel again feeling guilty.
Nathan smiled.
"Not at all, Annel."
"I'm so excited that you want to hear my story. My heart is a little relieved because it has been confided to you," Nathan said as he ruffled Annel's hair.
"Thank God it's relieved" Annel chuckled.
"Annel's replacement is now upset," said Annel again still a little chuckle.
"Why confused?" Nathan asked curiously.
Annel took out an envelope from her bag, and gave it to Nathan.
"Annel got the letter a few days ago" Annel said, twirling the basketball in his hand.
Nathan is still seriously reading the letter given by Annel.
"But Annel still hasn't told mom and dad. Suddenly Annel hesitated to take the scholarship," said Annel song lowered his head in lethargy.
"But, Brother..." Annel seemed hesitant to continue her sentence.
"You're not ready to live far from your mom?" Guess Nathan guessed.
"It's not just that." Annel's a little tickling.
Nathan furrowed his two eyebrows slightly clueless.
"Annel will be away from Nathan's sister and rarely see," Annel continued to lower his face.
Nathan was a little bit of a laugh. The light of it made Annel even more throbbing.
Nathan immediately embraced the glasses girl.
"We can still communicate via v-call, Annel," Nathan persuaded positive thinking.
"It still tastes different" murmured Annel still throbbing.
"It's a good opportunity, Annel. You should take it. Mama papa you must be proud if you take this scholarship," Nathan said encouragingly.
"Later brother Nathan must have found a new girl here, if Annel lives in Singapore," Annel said in a sad tone.
"Geez!" Nathan rattles Annel's hair before re-embracing the girl.
"You're a little kid already thinking about going out with his partner" Nathan said.
"Annel's grown up, brother!" Annel's protest felt unaccepted by Nathan's little boy.
"Yes, the big Annel." Nathan corrected his sentence with a little lebay.
"I don't think at all about finding a boyfriend or anything. I just want to focus on basketball for the next two or three years" Nathan said.
"Trus after two or three years?" Tanya Annel feels kepo.
Nathan sniffed both his shoulders,
"Maybe I'm going to invite you to make it. That's also if you're not yet a boyfriend," replied Nathan a little chuckle.
Annel's face was red.
"Annel is still twenty years, three years ahead, sister," said Annel, whose face was still met with red.
"Trus? I said behan. Not marriage," Nathan said in search of justification.
"Annel became embarrassed," said Annel who returned his head because his face was as red as a tomato.
"Focus on your education, Annel!"
"Love, boyfriend, future husband, will come at the right time" Nathan advises once again.
The young man still embraced Annel and carried the girl into his arms.
"Ready, Brother Nathan. Thank you for your wise advice" said Annel sincerely.
Nathan just nodded.
Orange bursts began to be seen on the western horizon, indicating the day has gone up late in the afternoon. After a bit of pleasantries and saying goodbye to Nathan, Annel finally decided to go home.
