I'm Back

🌺🌺🌺

A young woman with a beautiful and fashionable face sauntered out of the airport. His tall and slim posture with short hair plus stylish sunglasses carried a mysterious impression on him. Many people have to look twice because of their unusual black clothes.

The dry season wind waved her short hair, the young lady let out a long sigh several times, as if to strengthen herself.

"I'm back" Intan muttered as he lowered his glasses. While carrying a small suitcase he waved towards the taxi that was immediately ready in front of him.

"Take me to this address" Intan said as he offered the address to the taxi driver.

"Is this the correct address?" the taxi driver hesitated.

"Yes" replied Short.

Strange destination, inner taxi driver. How not, the average person out of the airport will go to a hotel or recreation, this is actually going to a funeral.

Intan did not care about the strange gaze of the driver because at this time his gaze focused out the window of the car. 4 years he wandered and everything had changed. Building after building has grown fast like a mushroom in the rainy season, the economy has also improved, it looks like business will get better in the years to come.

"When Camelia blooms." Intan's phone rang, she saw the screen at a glance, it turned out Mas Eka called.

"Intan, are you home? Where are you now? I'm now at the airport looking for you" Mas Eka's voice sounded a little panicked. Intan had asked Eka not to pick her up, but apparently Eka was quite stubborn. He is no longer a child, his attention makes Intan difficult to be independent.

"I'm out of the airport. I told you that Mas Eka does not need to be picked up. Why is it still... "

"Mas Eka has been very upset with you, we have not met for a long time. Where are you now? niar mas Eka picked you up."

"There's something I need to take care of, I'll tell you when I see you again."

"Well," answered Eka who immediately hung up the phone, her sister was very stubborn. Hmmm but Eka could already guess the first place her sister would go. So he drove his car there.

Intan stood in the silence of the afternoon, the atmosphere was exactly the same when he first came here.

"How are you, baby. Mama's back, sorry I haven't visited you in a long time." Sapa Intan while putting the bouquet of flowers he bought on the trip. He also put the same duck doll as his daughter, if Ruby likes this toy of course his son will also like it.

"Mama's back, don't worry mama will look for your sister as strong as mama. Someday mom will bring him here to see you. Please pray from there, dear."

"Look at this photo" said Diamond, showing her phone wallpaper. There's a picture of him with Ruby. Since the time of meeting Intan and Ruby at the airport, he never changed the wallpaper of his phone. He always put up his picture while with Ruby because this is the only memory he has. How can I replace it with another photo? Unless one day he has the latest Ruby photo, then he will replace it.

Intan glanced at it for a moment. Only with his silhouette did Intan know who was coming. Eka was already standing in front of him. Mas Eka placed a large basket of flowers with a predominance of white color next to the bouquet of flowers carried by Intan.

Intan looked at her brother. Mas Eka's face looks mature with a little sideburn and mustache adorned his face. But his good looks as if timeless, his brother has transformed into a mature and wise person. Although he looks mature and independent, but his eyes remain shady when looking at Intan.

"Mas Eka always knows the place you are going, so do not run away again, as long as you are there regularly visit Rudy," said Mas Eka.

Indeed, Eka always knows what Intan wants. Although Intan avoids having to admit it he is nobody without the help of Mas Eka.

"Thank you" replied Intan.

"When do you stop by Mas' house?" ask Eka on the way home

"I don't know yet, I haven't laid out my schedule."

"Don't be long, sister Tia is looking forward to meeting you. Sister Tia has even prepared a menu that will be cooked to welcome you. Adam and Vienna are also big, sometime visit yes. If it is difficult to set a schedule, how about hiring an assistant. Later when you really focus on something you will forget many things, without an assistant maybe you will have trouble. I need to find an assistant!" tawar Mas Eka's.

"Can you really find him? okay, take note! I want an assistant young man who is handsome, talented and good martial. Can you find her?" challenge Intan. She was sure her brother would not be able to find her.

"Oh well then, Mas will find him. Where are you going now? Go straight home, huh! Mama misses you."

"Maybe I'll go home tomorrow. I will sleep in a hotel tonight. "

"Mas bought you an apartment in your name. You stay there, don't stay in a hotel."

"I'll find my own apartment thank you" Intan declined. Occupying the apartment that has been provided feels like prison only. Must be Mas Eka doing it to watch over him.

"Don't argue. Choose it carefully. Your safety is the most important. Privacy is also very awake. They won't spy on you. They just want you to be in a safe place. Please do this again Mas." if it's about Intan, Eka will do anything. Moreover, at this time Eka is no longer under the control of her Papa. Whatever Intan needs with all his might Eka will grant it.

"Alright," replied Intan finally.

I just smiled as I continued my journey. He's happy Intan shouldn't argue for this.
