_________________________

A year later andi was gone. The girl who works as a veterinarian now feels that she has moved on from Andi. But the memories of Andi so much to make it back to his past, call it his name is reisa iyah reisa never move on from andi. Every time he wanted to leave he felt like he was following her.

His favorite place is now the best place for both of them. It was very peaceful and quiet for both Reisa and Andi when they were both. Reisa walks with a face that looks quite tired, while sitting on a park bench facing the lake with a boat passing in front of her, she feels so fresh air. Reisa took something out of her bag, it turned out that it was a book that Andi had never thrown away. Their handwritten and photographic images are stored there. Reisa wanted to throw it away but Reisa was so heavy. Not because he was unable to, but his mind did not say yes to his plan. He opened the book and wrote a wish and made it into a small ship. He stood up and approached the lip of the lake where he let go of the ship until it sailed into the middle of the lake. The hope is 'God bring the lost andi, my ribs are fragile nothing unites him god'. reisa wrote the name andi on the park bench and the action was glimpsed by the man standing next to the bench. The man had curly hair and glasses. She smiled and greeted Lisa

'hi, may I sit down' said the man

'who are you?, just sit down. Origin doesn't bother me' said reisa

'oh yes, sorry if I bother you, I just want to get acquainted. My name is alvin, whose name are you?' alvin said by giving his hand.

'My name is Reisa, ' with a flat tone and a look away

Reisa does not know that alvin just wants to return the small boat, but alvin feels that he is quite disturbed by his presence. Alvin went and put the boat next to Reisa. Reisa looked at alvin and saw the boat was beside him. With a guilt-ridden face Reisa glanced at alvin. Alvin is missing. Reisa got up and ran towards the outside of the park. Alvin was not found.

Until his home Reisa still thought by the presence of alvin with a small boat he called hope. Reisa occasionally let out a word of regret 'I have wasted the hope that you grant god huftt'. she was seen standing and leaning her hands on the balcony above her house. Reisa looked troubled and worried. Is he too evil, is because he is still affectionate with the figure of andi. It's hard to explain. That night he went to the temple where he prayed. Reisa walked over with a thick jacket enveloping her. America is so cold at night, the largest monastery is located in downtown Washington DC seems far from the house of Reisa. Reisa is hoping to meet alvin tomorrow. He wanted to pray and apologize for his arrogance towards god's hope. Reisa walks and crosses the zebra cross towards China town.

There is a lot of confusion about which way to go. Reisa blusukan blusukan towards the crowd and finally he arrived in front of the monastery. Lisa's eyes occasionally saw. Inadvertently his eyes headed towards the man who was selling food on the sidelines. The man is very similar to Andy. Reisa approaches him but she must pray. Maybe finished I'll approach her thought Raisa inwardly. After Raisa finished raisa steps towards the night hawker place. The night world in America is so alive. Lots of food and people. Reisa sat on the small chair gracefully.

'want to order what mbak' voice of the man who arrived arrived came, the man's voice was soft. Reisa was shocked when her finger swiped the phone screen and she saw the man. The man was the twin who was seen before praying. Reisa was dumbfounded and her mouth was narrow and her eyes were no longer blinking. The man carried Reisa's shoulder and it turned out that the man knew her.

'take reisa mbak' said the man with a gentle punch on his left shoulder

'i am alvin mbak, last night we met in the city park. It seems to have forgotten. Ooh yeah well that time couldn't see me hehhehe. Sorry if I left that time, I thought I was disturbed by my presence.' Alvin said with a face that felt guilty

'oh you are alvin, yes yes sorry also I am so arrogant with your presence. Again I'm sorry.' Said reisa with a smile

'may I sit down mbak' said alvin smiling back

'no.. hahaha I'm joking, please sit down' said reisa laughing.

That night they were like dating and laughter and smiles adorned the night with lanterns hanging on it. Late night comes they are not as heedless as time. Reisa was so comfortable being close to the alvin that she saw the same as her previous figure. Reisa wasn't sleepy at all and neither was alvin. Until the hour hand pointed at 2 am and alvin drove him home. On the way they told stories, still with a smile and a face that was quite fresh. The sound of dog barking adorned the silent path leading to his house. Alvin approaches Reisa and holds onto Reisa's hand. Reisa occasionally looked at alvin's face with a smile. So beautiful was the night of Reisa with the second hope granted. Alvin to him.

Sunday morning was the toughest morning that Lisa had to clean the kennel, she could not call and a short message from alvin. He still thinks positively if Alvin is still sleeping. After breakfast, she opened the door and alvin stood up with a smile and clasped the flowers with a good morning message, a sign of love. Reisa again remembered andi who always stood in front of her as she opened the door. Reisa shed her tears and hugged alvin. Reisa hugged alvin tightly and said 'don't leave me, protect me in silence, be the one who is there for me and always be the shade umbrella for me to shelter from tears' she said while crying alvin. Alvin let go of Reisa's embrace and looked at Reisa.

'When I see you smile, I fall in love. When I see you laughing, I really want to have you. If I want you to be my lover, will you continue to smile and laugh for me, ' said Alvin with tears

'You don't have to be afraid if I have to cry because of you. Because you are the one who must wipe away those tears. Enough I don't want to lose anyone I love anymore. I would be a hypocrite if I had to refuse to be your lover completely. Will you please me?' ask Reisa with a face full of tears and glassy eyes.

'I love you and I want to love you, I don't want you to be my girlfriend. Will you accept this ring and marry me. I will try to make you happy, ' said Alvin, bowing and looking at the face of Reisa.

Reisa was not struggling and Reisa was very happy to hear alvin say this. Reisa lifted alvin's body and hugged him very tightly, alvin's shirt wet with so many tears coming out.

'I want to be your wife, I want to be happy with you. We will always be together forever. Don't hurt me and keep making me smile' said Reisa accepting alvin's proposal

Since that day reisa and alvin happy and intermittent 1 week they married and a year later they were given a daughter who they name aliana vinsa.
