A small family of three is having dinner in a modest house. The rain that flushed the capital so swiftly coupled with the lightning that continued to strike made their four-year-old daughter, the female sex, close her seat to the mother.
"Mother .. I was so scared" said the boy.
"You don't have to be afraid, baby. The lightning will not enter the house" said the man, who is the father of the child.
"But I'm so scared, dad .." whine that boy again, his name is Elona.
"Yes, then Elona went back to the room, yes. I'll accompany you" Aruna, the boy's mother, asked.
Elona nodded, then they left Abian, Aruna's husband and Elona's father.
Abian exhaled, he resumed his own dinner.
Just scooping some mouthfuls, there was a sound of the front door being knocked by someone. Abian looked up at his face.
"Who are the night-time guests? It's raining, after all" he thought.
Abian got up from his seat, he went to the guest room to open the front door of his house. He was a little wary, just in case the person who came had evil intentions.
As soon as the door was opened, he found the woman in wet clothes was holding back the cold. The corner of the woman's lips also looked bruised.
"You who?" ask Abian later.
The woman stood up.
"Ak-i .. May I meet Aruna? I'm Ziva. Friend Aruna," said the woman with trembling lips holding back the cold.
Abian looked at Ziva from toe to head. If you look at her appearance, it's like she's not an ordinary person. There was a medium-sized suitcase next to the woman.
"See, I'll call my wife first."
"Thank you very much" said Ziva.
As Abian walks into the house, he crosses paths with his wife as Aruna closes the door to their daughter's room.
"You done eating?" ask Aruna.
"Yet. Elona's asleep?"
"It has. Why?"
"In front there is a woman who claims to be your friend. He wants to see you." Abian told.
Aruna cringing. "My friend? Who?"
"He claims to be Ziva."
"Ziva's? What's the matter with him those rainy nights coming here?" thought Aruna.
"Okay, I don't know. You just meet him. He's waiting for you outside."
"Yes." Yeah."
Aruna went to meet the man her husband was referring to.
"Ziva .." call Aruna make the woman who was originally facing back now turn her head.
"Mone .." Ziva was about to hug Aruna's body, but he realized that his body was soaking wet.
Aruna is thrilled to be reunited with her old friend after their last five years of lost contact. But the happy gaze now turned into a worried look as Aruna realized there was a bruise on the corner of Ziva's lips.
"Oh my goodness, Ziva what's wrong with you? What's going on with you?" Aruna's gaze turned to the suitcase beside where Ziva was standing.
"Ziva, say! What's happening to you?" reset Aruna.
Ziva did not answer Aruna's question, instead he cried as much as he could. Aruna could not bear to see her friend like this, even though she was soaking wet, Aruna still wanted to hug Ziva. Giving strength to his friend even though he himself does not know what really happened to the woman. He hoped nothing bad would happen to Ziva, because after all this Ziva was his old friend.

Aruna took Ziva into her house, and she even gave the woman a towel to dry her body.
"The bathroom is over there, if your clothes are in a wet suitcase, I can lend you your clothes."
"Thank you" said Ziva.
While Ziva went to the bathroom, Aruna approached her husband in the dining room. The man continued eating.
"It's over?" aruna asked as soon as Abian had pulled out a piece of tissue to clean his mouth.
"It."
Aruna sat down in the front seat of Abian.
"I'm sorry I didn't accompany you to eat" Aruna said later.
"It's okay, baby."
"You're not angry, are you?"
Abian reviewed the smile. "Anged for what?"
"I thought I'd be mad."
Aruna looked at Abian quite closely.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" tanya Abian got an unusual look.
"It looks like Ziva has to spend the night in this house. Are you allowing it? Poor him."
Abian was silent for a while. "I don't have a problem. That's your friend anyway."
"So you're allowing it?"
Abian nodded.
Aruna got up from her seat, walked up to Abian and hugged the man from the side.
"Thank you very much" said Aruna.
"Yes, equally," replied Abian.
After getting permission from her husband, Aruna immediately meets Ziva. His friend is still in the bathroom. Maybe I'm changing clothes.
"Diva ... Are you done?" call Aruna at the door with a knock.
"Yes, in a moment" said Ziva from within.
Not for ten seconds, the bathroom door opened. Ziva had already changed his clothes to his own.
"Thank you for the dress offer, Aruna. My clothes are not wet."
"Yes, Ziva. Oh yeah, you stayed here overnight. You can sleep in the living room. You'll tell me what happened to you."
"Good, Aruna. Thank you for allowing me to spend the night here."
"Either. Ah yes, have you eaten?"
Ziva shook his head.
"Then can you eat in the dining room, or can I take you to the room?"
"I eat in the dining room. Thank you." Thank you."
"Either. Well, then, I'll just take a minute to the room, yeah."
"Yes." Yeah."
Aruna patted Ziva on the shoulder slowly before he left.
Ziva was still there, touching the corner of his bruised lip.
"Acity .." Ziva grimaced feeling sore.
"It's lucky that Aruna gave me a ride to stay here. I can be free from Gavin, crazy man."
Ziva felt that now he could breathe free air.
