Geck...Geck...Geck...
The sound of the door knocking, Aditya closes his book and walks to see who comes to see him early in the morning.
Aditya saw Mr. Iwan standing at his door smiling kindly at him.
"Good morning Aditya"
"For the morning sir, please come in"
"I'm sorry because I interrupted early in the morning, I came here on the orders of the big master to deliver the Aditya mas car" (Walking in following Aditya and sitting on the sofa)
"Thank you sir, I'll see Mr. Gunawan later"
"This is the key to the car and the papers, and every afternoon I will come here to teach Aditya to drive"
Aditya just nodded slowly with a sad facial expression that he could not hold back.
"Is there a problem?"
"No sir, thank you. Sorry if I'm a hassle"
"It's my duty mas, then I'll excuse you first mas"
"Sir Iwan wants to deliver the lady this morning?"
"Yes mas, non Keysa this morning there's a class. Someone wants Aditya to tell the lady let me convey it later.
"No sir"
After Mr. Iwan left Aditya's house, Aditya just stayed in front of the house to pay attention to the car Mr. Gunawan gave him.
*I have to do this car, I don't want to accept it* inner Aditya
Aditya shook his head and went inside the house

"Ma, Grandma, I'm leaving first huh" said Reyna (Kissing the cheeks of grandma and her mom alternately)
"Be careful dear" replied Reyna's grandmother
"Reyn, can you ask for Aditya's phone number? Mama needs to be with him"
"By ma, I'll send it to mama"
Reyna left her mother and grandmother in a hurry.
*Abuh I can be late if not fast* Reyna's mind looks at the watch
When Reyna's hand was about to open the car door, her gaze was directed at a bouquet of flowers and a paper bag bag in front of her car glass.
Reyna picked up the two items and looked at the greeting card attached to the bouquet of flowers.

*sister ivan? Thanks a lot sister, I like* Inner Reyna
Reyna put the thing she was holding into the car, and ran the car
Reaching the campus Reyna got out of her car and looked towards Keysa who was walking into the building.
"Key, wait" cried Reyna
Keysa turned towards Reyna's voice, and smiled
"Lo was really excited this morning"
"What does it look like?"
Keysa simply shook his head with a smile, they walked towards the classroom while chatting.

Aditya turned towards his phone which read, "unknown number" written on the screen.
Aditya raised the call...

"It's 8:15, why hasn't Dion arrived yet?"
Aditya grabbed his bag and walked out of his room.
Aditya's eyes glanced at the car keys and his letters on the table, grabbed the item and put it in his bag.
Just a few minutes later Dion came and surprised Aditya
Dion's breathing was irregular, his hand holding Aditya's shoulder
"Gare Died" Dion said, sweat pouring down his face
"Quiet, what's up?"
"My motor is on strike and now it's at this hour, what should we do?"
Aditya seemed to think, his facial features looked a little hesitant and several times his gaze pointed out the window.
"Can you drive a car?"
"Can, why?"
Aditya pulls Dion's arm and invites her out of the house, Aditya grabs something in his bag and gives it to Dion.
"Car keys? Whose car?"
Aditya's head slightly raised with eyes directed at the parked car in front of his house.
"I don't understand, this is your car? When did you buy it?" Ask Dion
Aditya does not answer Dion's question and walks towards the car, Dion opens the car and enters with Aditya
Dion's eyes were stunned to see in a car that was so very luxurious and elegant even from the outside alone was already very visible.
"This is Keysa's papa's car, he gave it to me. We're wearing this for a while, later after college we'll take your bike to the workshop"
"Don't tell me this is what made you dizzy yesterday? Just this time I was driving a car as luxurious as this, usually I use my father's pick up car" (While starting the car engine)
During Aditya's journey, silent with eyes out the window, Dion occasionally glanced at Aditya.
Dion understood his best friend was feeling overwhelmed by all this.
A few minutes into the campus, Aditya gets out of the car and is followed by Dion
Dion gives the car keys to Aditya, Aditya's shoulder is patted gently by Dion
"I go to class first, hurry up and don't stumble here" said Dion, who walked away from Aditya
- 12:15-hour
"Ok kids are quite up here, I want you to finish the task you gave me and tomorrow during my class. I want that task to be on the table when I come."
"Good ma'am" answered one class
Aditya is still busy reading his book, regardless of his friends who have gone out of the room one by one.
Hearing footsteps approaching him, Aditya raised his head and saw Ivan already standing in front of him.
"Hi son of diligence" Goda Ivan
"What's wrong?"
"I'm here to say thank you, because Reyna last night wanted to see me and make up for me" (Sitting on Aditya's front bench facing back)
*You should thank Laura's sister, because Reyna wants to forgive you and she is willing to cover up her problems with you* Aditya looked intently at Ivan
"Yes, I'm busy. If there is nothing you want to say please leave me" said Aditya while reading his book again
"Truly a diligent child, I've returned first. Thanks again, yes"
Ivan left Aditya alone in the classroom, Aditya just stared at Ivan's departure with a slight indignation.
"How can you be happy behind Laura's grief?" Aditya Mumbles
Aditya closes his book and walks out of class
While in the parking lot Aditya had seen Dion sitting on a bench near the parking lot
"Come home" Take Aditya
Dion followed Aditya's steps
*Why else is that a child? Why is his face so upset?* inner Dion
at the house of Aditya
"I put the bag down first" Aditya said as he opened his door
Dion just nodded and was busy checking his engine
Dion takes his motto to a workshop near Aditya's house for repairs.
Aditya's phone rang making him and Dion look at each other in shock
(In the call)
______
"I'm in front of your house
where are you, Dit?
^^^" I'll be home soon, ma'am, wait"^^
______
(Call ends)
"Who's Dit?"
"Reyna's mom, I live first"
"Yes be careful"
Aditya leaves Dion in a workshop near his home
From far away, Reyna's mother was waiting in front of Aditya's door
Aditya approaches Reyna's mother and gives her greetings
Melati just smiled looking at Aditya's polite demeanor
Aditya lets mama Reyna in and sits in the living room
"What do you want to ask me?"
"My name is Melati, you can call me ma'am Melati or aunt Melati. Actually I've been wanting to ask you this for a long time, until I finally know where you live and get more convinced."
Aditya listens to Reyna's mother's words while wondering in his mind
"Who's your mother's name?"
Aditya was surprised to hear Reyna's mother's question suddenly, it was natural that someone suddenly asked her mother's name.
"Inara Rahdian Anindira" Aditya replied loudly
Melati's tears could not be dammed anymore, Aditya held in his arms
Aditya increasingly does not understand why Reyna mama like this to him, he can only be silent and do not know what to say.
"I finally found you, it's been years since Inara left I've never seen your grandmother and you again"
"Do you know my mother?" Ask Aditya
Melati took off her embrace and looked at Aditya warmly
"Your mother was my best friend from Junior High, once your mother was a writer who inspired me. When I used to play here before moving abroad, you were very small. When I came back 10 years after that, I got word that Inara was dead. I came here and asked where you and your grandmother were, but a lot of your neighbors told me that you and your grandmother went back to your grandmother's hometown. I found out where your grandmother's hometown is but I didn't find it."
"After my mother died I was taken by my grandmother to my grandmother's hometown, until she died. I came here and lived here alone to connect my life" Aditya replied
"I didn't expect that if you were Inara's child, I accidentally saw a picture of you visiting Reyna at that time. I think this house has been sold there's someone else, but it turns out you're still here."
*Do I just ask mom Melati about who my father is* inner Aditya
"Lady..." Call Aditya
Aditya hesitates to ask her but she has to know who her father really is. All this time his mother and grandmother never wanted to say who his father was, and where his father is now.
"Yes, son, what's wrong?"
"Do you know who my father is?"
Aditya's question seemed like a slap to Melati, even that was the thing that Inara kept secret from her son forever.
"Why are you asking like that?"
"I wanted to know who my father was, why he left my mother and I with my grandmother. From childhood I often ask this to my mother, but I do not want to answer it"
"Son, what your mother did was all for your own good. Your mother never meant to keep your father from you, only circumstances meant that your mother had to hide it from you"
"I beg you to tell me who my father is" Aditya said as he reached out and clasped Melati's hands expectantly
"If fate brings you to your father, you will meet. I can't break my promise to your mother, please understand"
Aditya just shut up and let go of her grip from Reyna's mama's hand.
*I'm sure you'll meet your father, son. He's been looking for your mother's whereabouts long*
- Flashback
in the country A-
"Honey look, that dress must be a good fit for our little Reyna" said Melati pointing towards the hanger of a little child's clothes
(Reyna was 7 years old at the time, and had been living in country A for almost 6 years with her parents)
"Get it, she'll love it" replied Melati's husband
Melati was busy picking and picking clothes for little Reyna, she heard the footsteps of someone approaching her
Melati looked back and saw someone she knew
"Mas Rai" Melati said
"How are you doing Melati?"
"Good news, how are you?"
"As you can see, I want to ask Inara where she is, I have been looking for her for almost 7 years but have not met her, even her phone number can not be reached. Do you know where he is now?"
"Sorry, I didn't know the last time I went to his house about 6 years ago before moving here. And until now I have not heard from him, even I have tried to contact and find out his new phone number no one knows"
*Did Rai know if Inara had a boy Reyna's age?* Inner Jasmine
"Thank you, excuse me"
Rai left Melati and walked over to a woman much younger than him
*What is a woman who married mas Rai after leaving Inara?* Inner Jasmine
Melati was shocked as her husband patted her on the shoulder and called her name.
"What's up, baby? Why are you daydreaming?"
"It's okay, let's go to the cashier and go home. Reyna must be waiting for us"
*Where you really are, to the point that your ex-husband didn't find your whereabouts. I hope you are okay*
- Flashback off
"Is my father still alive mom?" Tanya Aditya looked at Melati's face
Melati turned her face could not bear to see Aditya pleading with her
"Italy..." Dion shouted from the front of the house
Aditya raised his head, looked towards the window and got up from his seat.
"I'll excuse you for a minute ma'am" said Aditya and walked over to Dion
"What's Yon?"
Dion was lying on the floor with a loud breath, Aditya patted Dion's eel shutting his eyes
Dion got up from his position and faced towards Aditya
"Ride, Ivan... Dit"
"Calm down first"
Curious Melati walked out of Aditya's house and stood at the door
"Ivan Dit, attacked by some people in the front alley there" (Pointing towards the end of the front alley of Aditya's house)
"You ran here? Where's your bike?" Ask Aditya while standing up
"I stayed, and ran for your help"
Aditya stood up to tell Reyna's mother to stay at her house, but when she turned her mother Reyna was behind her
"Ivan who? You knew her?" Ask Jasmine
"Love Reyna, I'll be right back here"
Aditya pulls Dion's arm and runs towards where Ivan was ganged
