S2: Reward

Weeks had passed and the test scores of Ciya and Javier had already come out. Their value is above average. That was why now the two people were on the streets with a radiant look.

“What I said. I certainly can,” said Ciya arrogant after he got an extraordinary achievement.

“Not just lo yes, I can too and finally we have a free holiday!!” exciting Javier. They will collect the promise given by Bagas.

“Don't go home yet, I still want to go for a walk,” said Ciya approved by Javier. They finally took a walk. There was actually nothing special they could find there. But there was another sensation that Ciya could feel when she spent her time there.

Just down the road that's there. Not far from their university. “Someone you want to buy for holiday supplies?” ask Javier.

“No. Goods at home is enough,” answers are carried by Javier.

For about an hour they spent wandering the streets aimlessly until they were exhausted. 

“You drink,” whine Ciya. it happens that there is a drink vending machine. Without a second thought, Javier went there and bought two drinks.

“Nih.” The man offered one to Ciya who was sitting on the chair there.

“Still.” They drank that drink.

“Vi, how do I think I should react later if I meet them?” ask Ciya. The girl's view was empty. His body was there but I don't know what his mind was.

“Depends lo. Want you happy to jump around because you can see them again, or maybe you will not want to be the same with certain people because you are disappointed, you can do it. Whatever you do when you meet them later,” replied Javier.

“There is a part of my heart that misses them. But somehow there is also a hollow. I think there are some people I don't want to meet. Not because of hate, but fear of rejection.” Javier understands what Ciya means. He also knows who that person is.

“Then don't meet him. Simply meet people who want to meet aja.” Ciya nodded. He re-assembled his mood to continue the journey.

“Go home!” bring him. During this time he rarely drove a car. They always go to college by bus or train.

So too with now. They'll ride it to go home.

If it is passed happily and without burden, everything feels very fast. They had arrived home when it felt like just a few minutes ago to board the train.

“Mom, Dad we're home!” javier exclaimed while opening the door.

As usual, Mommy and Daddy were sitting on a couch in the living room. They just enjoy old age. The treasure they invested into a hospital went smoothly and now just stay monitoring.

“But really long? It's almost two hours late,” Juliette said as she moved from her seat.

“Sorry Mom. We took a walk first. You know how stressful it is after doing the test,” Ciya replied.

The test they did was actually over two days ago, but he always made it an excuse not to get angry when he came home late.

“Yes, change clothes, even though Mommy knows that's just your excuse. Your test was finished two days ago,” he said.

Instead of being afraid, the two children chuckled before they headed to their rooms.

“Their base, there is aja behavior,” said Juliette while returning to take a sitting position. While Bagas just shook his head.

“They have passed the test on campus. Do you remember your promise?” ask her husband.

“Good. I was just going to ngingetin, afraid you forgot.” Bagas nodded with his smile.

After finishing the bath and changing their clothes, then they came back down. The first one down is Javier. He was only wearing a black t-shirt with his shorts.

“Mana Ciya?” bagas asked as he only saw his son coming down.

“Taking Dad. The power is not finished yet, understand the girl,” her answer is replied with a ruckus.

“Means Mommy is too?” Juliette who felt insinuated immediately asked.

Instead of replying, Bagas and Javier just looked at each other before twitching his shoulders.

“Basic,” says Juliette. They were stunned when they got such a response from Juliette.

“What's so great rame?” ask Ciya who just came down from her room. Finally the main star who had been waiting for his arrival from earlier came as well.

“Telat, you are not invited,” replied Javier trying to tease Ciya.

“Ih Dad, it's good to be right that he's teased Ciya keeps knowing,” his whining while complaining to Bagas.

“Udah ah don't make a fuss. Daddy wants to talk to you guys,” said Bagas.

“Dad don't be serious dong so scared,” said Ciya. His Daddy rarely spoke seriously to them, which is why when Bagas started to get serious then Ciya would be a little nervous.

“Not really. This is also common.”

They began to put their ears together so that none of the information that came out of Daddy's mouth was missed.

“Daddy at that time already promised you, if you can pass your test with perfect value, you will vacation to Indonesia for free.” 

Hearing that made Javier and Ciya look at each other. Both of them tried to hold a smile because they were very happy with this.

“But sorry..” The words of Bagas hang that makes Ciya and Javier already discouraged that their vacation will be canceled. This is the reason why Ciya always does not want to feel excessive happiness.

“Nothing Dad, maybe next time.” Ciya precedes to answer Bagas' speech. 

“Sorry because the power is not only one week you are there, but one month,” said Bagas with a radiant face rat.

Ciya and Javier looked back before they hugged each other. “Yeeaayyy!!”

“But wait, we have a holiday how many months?” ciya asked fearing that they would skip college because of their vacation.

“One month half.” The answer from Javier made Ciya relieved and re-hugged Javier after he had previously let go of the hug to ask.

They hugged each other for a long time before Javier let go. “But Dad, why one month?” ask Javier curiously.

“There is something Dad should do in a hospital in Indonesia. So we all have to go.” 

For Ciya this is a bliss that multiplies. Where he will meet his mother and will also take a vacation with his family.
