Felix was still stunned after hearing Citra's question. Until a while later, suddenly a name immediately popped into his head.


"Ehm, his name is, Finn. Finn Czaren Harivijaya." Felix answered steadily while staring at the playful baby boy.


"Finn? Hhmm, what a name. As good as your face, dear," said Citra while giving a kiss on the right cheek of the baby boy.


I don't know why Felix gave me that name. Clearly, the name immediately appeared in his head.


Not long after, Citra immediately rushed to bathe Finn. He grumbles at Felix for not bathing Finn since morning. Yeah, how to take a shower, just change diapers Felix still has trouble. He should see a tutorial video on putting diapers on babies.


About fifteen minutes later, Citra was done bathing Finn. He walked towards the middle room. Felix turned out to have brought all the equipment Finn is not yet how much there is there.


While paying attention to the actions that Citra did, Felix who was sitting next to them immediately asked.


"Ehm, I've never seen you here before. Lo new occupants next door?" ask Felix.


The image turned a fleeting head towards Felix. Her lips are screeching dislike. Of course it did not escape the attention of Felix.


"What's wrong?" tanyakanya.


"Can't Om not use me? Not very good at it. Although my college friends often use that word, but they can use me you when chatting with me," replied Citra.


Hearing the answer, of course Felix immediately rounded his eyes. He did not expect that Citra had gone to college.


'How could he have gone to college? His body is small and only large in the milk area, is still appropriate if you think High School children?' inner Felix.


"Ehm, are you in college? Isn't it still High School?" 


Again the image thumped the lips.


Felix scratched the back of his head that was not itching.


"Ehm, i-it, sorry. I-I thought you were still in high school." This time Felix was clumsy.


"I've been in college for the fourth semester, Om. Just finished my semester exam. It's already starting to take a holiday."


Felix nodded his head in understanding.


"When did you stay here?" ask Felix.


Before answering Felix's question, Citra breathed a heavy sigh. He seems to be carrying a lot of burden.


"I didn't move here, Om. The apartment belonged to my best friend's parents, Tasya. Because it is empty, I am welcome to hitchhike here until I get the costs that match my finances," explained Citra. His hands were busy wearing Finn's clothes.


Again Felix's forehead creased. He still did not understand the explanation of Citra. If he's still looking for new boarding? Where has he been living all this time? Didn't Citra say she was in fourth semester? inner Felix.


"Don't you say you're in fourth semester? Where have you been all this time?" Felix asked out of curiosity.


"Before this, I sniffed, Om. And, all the tuition and boarding fees were financed by my brother. However, there was an unexpected event that had befallen big brother. So, I was forced to get out of the boarding house because I could not afford the cost. Anyway, I haven't worked either. I only have a little savings to save my life while looking for a job," Citra explained.


"Indeed, what happened to your sister until you had to get out of the boarding house?"


The image turned towards Felix with a sad look.


"My brother died, Om."
