"Ocean Den? Here and here Den, the suitcase let bibik bring in," said the old woman who always carried a small bun over her head.
"Thank you Bik, oh yeah mommy at home right, Bik?" tanya Samudra while spreading her gaze to all corners of the house.
"Yes Den, Madam at home. It's in the kitchen with you, sir."
The ocean was astonished. "Daddy's at home?"
"Yes, Den," nods bibik.
The old woman turned her attention towards Veronika, the beautiful woman behind the Ocean.
"This---?"
"Oh yeah this is Veronika, Bik." Samudra.
Bibik nodded politely, his old hand was meant to reach for Veronika's suitcase, but Veronika quickly reflexively pushed away her suitcase.
"Papa Ve, aunt only wants to bring your suitcase."
"Owh-oke.." Veronika's nod expressed a slightly haughty expression toward the aunt.
The ocean took Veronika by the hand and entered the mansion with furniture and trinkets that looked very expensive.
While Bibik followed while pushing two suitcases belonging to Samudra and his female friend.
...
"Moms-Dad." said Samudra as soon as he saw the two figures he so longed for while in Boston.
The ocean remembers her childhood, always rushing into the arms of Maya and Samuel when she returned home.
"A.m....!" maya exclaimed as soon as she turned around to see the figure of her other son. While Samuel looks smiling happily when looking back at his small Ocean face first.
"Why didn't you tell me you came home today? Daddy can pick it up." Maya hugs the body of the Ocean as the distance of the two gets closer.
"You say Saturday is coming home tomorrow? How advanced?" ask Maya to come back. He looked at his son's face. As if you can not believe if the small Ocean that was once now transformed into a figure of a mature man who is so handsome.
"Your hair?" maya asked in surprise when she realized that the Ocean was changing its appearance, especially with the color of her hair.
"Pengen make a surprise just like you," replied the Ocean while chuckling.
"Hi son...." It was Samuel's turn to hold her tight.
"How are you?"
"I'm fine, Dad." Samudra returned his father's embrace for a few seconds. The two hugs are stopped when Maya turns her attention to the beautiful girl who accompanies Ocean and stands behind her son.
"This must be Veronika?" ask Maya gently. His warm smile expanded when he saw the girl with a long brownish mane. Maya felt as if she had seen someone who had a face similar to a female friend of the Ocean.
"Yes, Aunt. I'm Vero." Veronika answered and returned Maya's handshake. He landed chips on Maya's cheeks that still look chubby.
"You are beautiful." said Maya kindly.
"Honey, tell Am and Vero to rest first. They must be tired."
"Oh-iya sorry Mommy was too excited you came Am. How many years have you not been home, hm?"
"Hehehe sorry, Mom."
"It's ok. yuk you guys go to the room first let mommy anter."
The ocean nodded, but the two neutrals were now rotating looking at every corner of the house. "What continent and Sammy, Mom?"
"It's this hour anyway so you're still in school, Am. Later at 5 pm they just came home." replied Maya in between steps.
While Samuel walked by always holding Maya tightly.
"This is your room, baby. Decket same room Am." Maya invites Veronika into a room adjacent to the Ocean room.
The girl looked amazed by the guest room that the Samudra family had prepared for her. Spacious and clean room with king size bed. A sofa and a nightstand complete the spacious room. Television with a big screen and a vase of flowers containing yellow and red roses become a natural room fragrance that is so refreshing.
Veronika was happy, the Samudra family was so open to welcome his arrival.
"Do you like your room, baby?" tanya Maya surprises Veronika.
"Yes, Aunt.... Vero likes it."
"Good enough then. Now you rest first. We'll be eating together soon, you'll be hungry right? after a long trip?"
Maya nodded slowly and hugged Veronika again. "Yes, baby." Maya. He then walked out of the room and left Veronika alone, so that the girl could rest after a tiring journey.
....
"Why haven't you been home for eight years, hm?" maya asked as soon as she and Samuel were in the Ocean's room.
"Am busy, sorry Mom," replied the guilty Ocean.
"It's ok, Am. The most important thing is that you are always healthy there" Maya replied, hugging her son.
Samuel patted the Ocean's shoulder gently, causing the Ocean to stretch Maya's embrace and turn toward Samuel. "What's your college and work there, son? Everything smoothly?" ask Samuel. He looked warmly at the ocean.
"All right, Dad. There is no problem" nods Samudra with a smile.
"Thank God.." said Samuel.
"Sam, let Am rest first."
Samuel nodded slowly with both hands he put in his casual jeans pocket. "All right" said Samuel.
"You rest first Am, mommy ready to eat first trus we eat together."
"Thank's, Mom."
Maya nods slowly, then takes Samuel out of her son's room.
....
The ocean looked at the wall clock with a restless expression, and he glanced repeatedly at the Rolex watch that was coiled around his wrist. His handsome face looks riled up, even the laughter of Maya and Veronika did not make him focus that afternoon.
The body language of the Ocean is really like a restless person, always moving in his sitting. Even several times he sat and stood back and forth in the family room. And it happened over and over again until Maya reprimanded what she had become her behavior that time.
"Why are you Am? like that restless fellow?" ask Maya wonder.
The ocean turned its gaze towards Maya as well as Samuel, then shook its head slowly. "Sammy why haven't you come home yet, Mom? It's almost six in the afternoon" he asked worriedly.
"Maybe in a minute, Am. Today he will have a karate exkul exercise, usually too late to come home after there is the excul."
The ocean lifted his eyes. "Samantha's in karate?" tanyanya could not believe it.
"Yes, you're a decreased nature of Daddy." Maya slashes her two mischievous eyeballs at Samuel. As if knowing being insinuated by his wife, Samuel increasingly tightened his embrace on Maya's shoulders.
"He's even got a black belt, Am." Maya continues her words.
Netra Samudra in a bright sparkling instant, her small smile was attracted from the corner of her thin lips. There-there was only that child, the Inner Ocean amused.
Veronika can see the eyeballs of the Ocean seeming radiant when talking about her sister, Samantha.
Veronika has not known the figure of Samantha. Samudra never even said anything about his sister. When in Samudra apartment, Veronika had indeed seen a photo of a teenage girl who was so beautiful with a guy sepantaran and also the two parents of Samudra. But Veronika only looked at him in passing, without any intention to focus more on the girl's figure.
....
"Sore, Moms-Dad....!"
Spontaneous Ocean turned his attention towards the source of the voice earlier. He looked and saw who was coming. His smile also seemed to expand a little.
"Copper....? You went home alone? Where's samantha?" ask Maya wonder.
"He'll go home with Bryan, Mom," replied the Continent.
The expression of the Continent had now suddenly changed, when he saw the figure of the elder brother standing looking at him.
"Sister Am....?" pekik Continent happy.
"Hi dude...." Smiling ocean.
Soon, the two embraced each other warmly. The ocean looked closely at the figure of the adek who now looks more mature and handsome.
"Gue kangen the same lo, Brother.." said the Continent on the sidelines of his embrace.
"Gue too, Ben. Ahaha!" the laughter of the ocean broke out. But there is someone he misses. And the person's delay certainly made him anxious.
And who's Bryan? inner Ocean.
