Three days later Alsa's health condition had improved after receiving treatment at the hospital, during which time Ken faithfully accompanied Alsa. Even the man was willing to get sick to take care of Alsa.

And now they're out of town, it's a six-hour drive from Davin's apartment to town.

Kenzo, who has heard Alsa's story about her relationship with Davin, makes the man reluctant to return Alsa to Davin. So he decided to take the girl away out of town, precisely at the house of aunt Kenzo.

"Jiang, Aunt." Kenzo greeted a middle-aged woman who opened the door for them, the woman looked surprised and the next second she smiled happily. As soon as he hugged Kenzo warmly, the man smiled back at the woman.

"Ken, you haven't played here in a long time. Come on in, your brother must be happy to see you coming, Ken."

And they entered the house of Kenzo's great aunt, several servants who met with them bowed respectfully.

"Who is this girl, Ken? Pretty, is she your girlfriend?" Asked the woman while looking at Alsa, Vani's graceful smile was engraved when she saw the girl her nephew brought in smiling shyly.

"He's my underclassman, Tan. Maybe if he stays here for a while, I'll take care of the letters of his move first. After I graduate, I'll have him live in my apartment, Tan." Kenzo explained to Vani, the woman smiled.

"You want to change schools here? Are his parents not looking? You didn't take the girls away, did you?" asked Vani in a row, because he was afraid if Ken really brought a girl like Papa Kenzo who took his mother away.

"Now, Aunt. Alsa was orphaned, she lived alone all this time," replied Ken hesitantly, he realized that he wanted to be explained after all, his actions could be called carrying away the girl's child.

"Well, what's your name, son?" vani asked kindly, the woman looked at Alsa who was sitting while holding Kenzo's arm.

Fearful of meeting new people, Davin tells Alsa not to trust anyone she just met. But the woman in front of him is the aunt of the person he loves. So, should he keep his distance?

"My name is Alsa Faresta, Auntie," replied Alsa softly, the woman pulling Alsa's hand to sit near her. Vani has always wanted a girl, and she really likes Alsa who is considered a polite girl.

"Call aunty, mama. Yes, Honey?" said Vani who made Alsa surprised, I don't know how long he's been calling 'Mama.

"Tante Vani used to want a daughter, Ca." Kenzo explained. Alsa smiled then nodded in agreement with the call.

Soon a man of Davin's age came down from the second floor, it seemed like he was leaving. Looking at her clothes so neat.

"Gerry, where are you going?" asked Vani astonished, then the man called Gerry stopped his steps. Bertos ria with Ken, and he stared confusedly at Alsa.

"Bring people's children away, lo?" gerry asked a little loudly, making Ken growled and thrust a small fist into Gerry's arm.

"No, he's Caca. My class sister, Bang,"

"Beautiful," praised Gerry as he pinched Alsa's cheek, while the one pinched immediately inched in fear. He clings to Ken again, making Gerry laugh with Alsa's funny behavior.

Seven months have passed, and Davin has yet to find Alsa. He who used to have a friendly nature, open also warm. Now it's changed.

Davin who is now a very cold person, closed even he never smiled in the slightest. The friendly and warm impression that he used to hold, now vanished out of nowhere.

He who has a stubborn nature is reluctant to see the condition of his parents.

Davin sat on his couch in his study, looking at a photo of Alsa on the man's phone. Photo at Alsa's graduation from Junior High, when her sister whined to be celebrated graduation at the cafe at the top.

Finally Davin complied with Alsa's wishes, they celebrated Alsa's graduation by having dinner and staying at the Davin family villa there.

Remembering that, Davin smiled wryly. He put his phone in the pocket of the man's pants. Walking to the desk and smiling knot saw a photo of Alsa in the frame she put on the desk.

Alsa is very beautiful with a pink dress that Davin bought for her 15th birthday.

But now I don't know where the girl went, making the guy back to his temples. Dizziness he felt added to Davin's suffering day by day.

While Alsa was busy serving guests at Gerry's cafe, she kept begging her foster mother to let her work at Gerry's.

At first, Gerry refused, saying if he wanted something he could ask Gerry or Vani. But Alsa refused on the grounds that she did not want to be a burden for them.

Now he sits in the 2nd grade of High School, being the smartest student in the school making Alsa get a student duty. And if the value remains above average, then he will get a student duty to continue studying abroad.

Alsa serves two brothers who are joking at table number 12, a girl about 7 years old, and an older brother who is still wearing a high school uniform.

He remembered Davin, back when he was about 7 years old. Alsa often whines to ask Davin to take her for a walk after the man came from campus.

He also remembered that he was often escorted to Davin when he was still in elementary school, but now only memories remain.

Although he was sad, Alsa still worked well. Get rid of her momentary feelings of compassion, and serve them kindly.

Gerry who saw Alsa so deft at work, smiled happily.

Even during work breaks, Alsa still took the time to learn. Makes Gerry even more proud to have a foster sister as smart as Alsa.
