In the evening, Zio actually visited the Airish family residence located at the top of the Apartment building.
Zio came alone in a neat suit. He pressed the bell and waited for a while for the door to open from the inside.
A girl with a face so similar to Airish was seen behind the door. However, with just a single glance he already knew clearly if it was Abrine.
"Come in, Zi ...." Abrine let him in. He nodded faintly and set foot to enter the residence of his lover.
"Jn ...." A friendly greeting sound was heard welcoming his arrival, accompanied by a crunchy twitch. Then the stretch of hand that stretched out, hugged her at a glance while patting her shoulder full of familiarity. Airish-Master Nev's esteemed father-applied very warmly to him.
"Om .." said a bit clumsy, although this was not the first meeting with the very mature man, but this time it was still a different meeting than before, for now he is not seen as a business partner Om Nev, but as the fiance of the man's daughter.
Before long, a beautiful woman at a young age also welcomed her arrival.
"Zio, how are you, son?" tanya Aunty Raya.
"Ba-well, Tant ..." she replied rather nervously. "Some aunt?" tanyakanya.
"Healthy dong, let alone already heard the good news.." kelakar Aunt Raya with a big smile. The good news he meant was probably about his engagement to Airish which was officially accepted by the girl.
A little while later, he saw Aarav and Rahelsa who were also there. Aarav greeted her and asked her how she was doing, while Rahelsa smiled gently and gave a thumbs up at her.
"I'm sorry I didn't come at your wedding" she said, staring at the newlyweds.
"It's okay, I also know Lo's busy!" kekeh Aarav's.
However, as far as the eye could see, he did not see any Airish among all the nuclear families present there.
Om Nev and Aunty Raya let him sit in the living room while waiting for Airish. They talked lightly about Zio's work and family in Indonesia.
"How long have you been in Germany, Zi?" ask Om Nev to him.
"Sunday, Om. But this is my second day. So it's only about five more days that I'm here."
"If there is any need, need anything do not hesitate to tell us," said Aunt Raya who was always warm.
"Yes, Tant...."
"How are your parents doing, Zi?" ask Om Nev again.
"Alhamdulillah Mommy is as healthy Papi, Om. If allowed, I'll invite both parents to come here."
Om Nev and Auntie Raya nodded in agreement. Before long his eyes were fixed on the figure of the girl who was going down the stairs.
"Sorry, it's been a while, Zi?" asked the girl who was none other than Airish, the girl he had been looking for her whereabouts.
He swallowed the saliva quickly to answer the question of the girl who was dazzling in his eyes. "It's not long, really," he answered.
Airish nodded his head. I don't know why he saw Airish so gracefully tonight. Either intentionally to welcome him, or indeed he is always stunned at that one figure only. All this time, he had to admit if his eyes seemed blind and could not look at other girls around him.
"Oh yeah, we'll start dinner now, just!" aarav said take the situation. The young man appears to have coded Rahelsa to push the wheelchair towards the dining table.
The move was followed by Aunty Raya and Om Nev, along with Abrine who still looked the same since long time ago with the characteristics of his indifference.
He became the last person to follow him to the dining table, but by his side there was a girl who walked hand in hand. Even though only in this state, it makes him happy and wants to scream pleasure. But the desire to shout it must be withstood, because he could not show such a childish attitude in front of the Airish family, right?
They began to eat warmly and with family. Aunty Raya even took her rice and side dishes. Though, he hopes Airish did it, but he can see if the girl still looks awkward near him. It might also be nice to do something warm to him in front of all the family.
"Rish, what do you want to say to Zio because you've been waiting for your answer all this time?" chirp Abrine after they're done with dinner with a delicious menu.
"What yes?" Airish lowered his face. But a moment later he looked at her with a twinkle of eyes that were difficult for her to understand.
"Thank you.." said Airish at last, making him smile.
"That's all?" Aarav chuckled at the end of there and then clucked long.
"Say what it is, it works!" kikik Abrine's. The brother and sister seemed to deliberately put aside so that Airish would open a word about the contents of the girl's heart.
Airish smiled faintly. "I can't say anything, I'm not good at saying sweet words" she said.
"Then you show your skills how?" challenge Om Nev who smiles at his daughter.
"What?" tanya Airish looked confused. While he grinned little to see the reaction of the confused face of his girl who is actually the most adorable if it has set a face like that.
Rahelsa looks close to Airish. Then whispered in the girl's ear, saying nothing, she didn't hear it.
Airish smiles after hearing Rahelsa's words which make her wonder what they are discussing.

Before returning home, he and the Airish family gathered in a living room in the Apartment.
They took their respective sitting positions, next let him sit down anyway. This time he really did not know what to talk about anymore. He was very happy with the warm welcome of the Airish family, but somehow he still held his condolences in front of everyone.
No matter how long Airish sat down, instead of sitting by his side like a wish in his heart. However, the girl actually sat in the chair in front of the large piano in the room.
He was stunned, stunned and felt speechless when he suddenly heard the tone played by his girl's fingers.
Adeptly, Airish began to press the piano keys slowly, one by one, until finally the melodious chants began to sound lascivious, followed by the voice of the girl who sang the old song owned by Jennifer Lopez aka J.Lo titled Alive.
Time ....
Gos ....
Slowly now .. in my life,
Fear ... no more. .. of what I'm not sure,
Searching to feel your soul,
The strength to stand alone,
The power of not knowing and letting go ....
I guess I've found my way
It's simple when it's right
Feeling lucky just to be here
And happy just to be me
And be alive
Love.in and out of my, my heart.
Though life....
Can be strange's....
I can't be afraid....
Searching to feel your soul
The strength to stand alone
The power of not knowing and letting go ....
Airish seemed to animate the song, with a fairly good voice and above average. It turned out that the music art major that the girl had chosen was very in accordance with her talent.
He and the others were like watching a music concert by a famous pianist. He smiled proudly for the girl, the girl he loved so lovingly all this time. Love from a distance, but keep love from the distance created. He did not wrongly place his love on the girl.

"I'm amazed by you" he said as he exited the Airish House. Airish came out, wanted to take him to the front of the elevator.
"Absmacked?" Airish frowned in wonder while still walking slowly by his side.
"You're talented. I'm proud my future wife is a reliable pianist," kekehnya make Airish laugh softly.
"I'm not a pianist yet, I haven't graduated college and I haven't dreamed much of becoming a famous pianist."
Their steps stopped when they arrived in front of an iron door that would deliver them to the ground floor of the building.
"If my dream of being my wife has not been thought of yet?" he stared at Airish with a smile.
Airish bowed in embarrassment, did his words sound so stiff and full of stale chatter?
"Get out of college soon, right?" tanyanya.
"Are you really planning on getting married young?" Airish pitched and looked at him seriously. He could not bear to see the girl's gaze. It was hard to say, but the truth was that he wanted to hug the girl but still held back that feeling.
"If the marriage is with you, the intention is long ago. Kan, you know for yourself," he replied indifferently, reminding Airish of his promise to marry the girl had been there since they were students.
"Now I feel established, can already bear the jawabi yourself. So what else am I looking for? Of course I will realize all the promises I have said in the past," he continued making Airish look stunned.
"Yourselves, not ready to marry young? We're engaged if you forget."
"I-I know..." Airish is nervous, he presses the elevator button so that the iron door opens immediately when it arrives on the floor they are now stepping on.
He looked deeply at the girl. But Airish kept avoiding the glare of her eyes.
The elevator doors clanked and opened in front of them.
"You must go home, Zi." said Airish, bowing his face.
"Hmmm, it is likely that the next few days I will be very busy and can not visit you. But on my last day in this country, I will try to stay away and see you again. It's okay, right?"
Airish raised his face, sad in the eyes of the girl began to look. Then Airish nodded in lethargy
He understood that Airish must be disappointed with this.
"I'm sorry, because it's my busy life that I want to marry you immediately. So that there is no distance between us. So I can meet you whenever I want. So that you can ask for my time when the density of the schedule is there, I will definitely work on it. All of those decisions are in your own hands. If you want to graduate from college first, I appreciate that" he concluded.
He stroked Airish's hair at a glance, then got into the elevator. "If I have arrived at the hotel, I will contact you" he said, waving at the girl who was staring at him.
