"August, Bi..."

"Morning, Non. Do you want breakfast?"

"Later, Bi"

"In front there's Arzie's car. What time is he coming home, Bi?"

"If the word security is at two in the morning non. Maybe the Master is sleeping"

"Oiya... Then let it go, Bi. Kasian Brother Arzie he must be tired"

"Good, Non"

Kirani's headed for the backyard. There is an outdoor pool with a large bamboo gazebo across the pavilion. Kirani sat there. Looking blankly at the swimming pool. His ears are stuffed with earphones with a slow rock song that comes from his phone.

"Mother, Kira kangen sama mama. Same dad. And also grandma. Kira's alone now", he's.

In the past, when the mother was still there, Sunday like this must have made a good meal and the afternoon is always available snacks.

He loved to run around in the back yard of their rented house. Playing and cheating on my grandmother. But all of that is just a memory.

"Deck ... "

Kira was surprised, someone patted her on the shoulder from the side. He took off his ear eraphone.

"Why daydream early in the morning?"

"Sister Arzie is up?!"

"Hmmm..."

"Tadi Bi Mar said Mr. Arzie came home early in the morning. Kira thinks Arzie's sister is still sleeping"

Arzie sloshed his body beside Kirani.

"Sister Arzie is also sore sleep continues. I'd like to see you"

Kira laughed at hearing that. What dreams he Arzie had early in the morning had overhauled him. Arzie woke up from his sleep. He closed his seat to Kira. The beautiful woman looked. Arzie rubbed his head.

Kira nodded her head. Arzie held his hand.

"Whatever happens later, stay by Arzie's side, Dek. Brother Arzie loves you. I don't know why you're the only one in Arzie's mind. It's up to you to think, but that's what Arzie's sister feels"

Kira's quiet. He didn't answer. Seen it does hold a sense of admiration for the figure of the man who was beside him. But you just admire. Not more. He did not dare to expect too much. For him Arzie was an excellent helper god. She did not expect that Arzie would tell her heart.

"Relse ... "

"Hmmm..."

"Don't rush to judge our feelings. It takes time for us to truly understand our true feelings. We don't know what will happen in the future. So Kira thought, we better learn to know our true feelings first. Let the time decide later"

Arzie smile. How wise this woman beside him is. Her speech was polite, gentle and her smile was very sweet. That was what was currently in Arzie's mind.

At ten in the morning, Kirani was about to go to her friend's house to study group. Arzie asks the driver to deliver Kira, initially Kira refused him he wanted to take public transportation only. But Arzie insisted he be taken to pick up the driver. Kirani also relented, he obeyed Arzie's will.

"Sir, are we heading south for a second?"

"Southward, Non?"

"Yes, Sir. I want to visit somewhere first"

"Good, Non"

The driver stopped his car at a cemetery. Kirani walked towards the tomb side by side. He was crouching on the side of the tomb.

"Dad ... Mother ... Granny ... I'm sorry Kira can only visit you now. A lot has happened in Kira's life lately. Kira misses you guys"

Kira's tears were dripping down both sides of her cheeks. The feeling of longing is very much in his father, mother and grandmother. They are the only family he has. But God said something else. God picked up Kira's three loved ones faster. Sometimes there was a sense of desolation coming from within his heart. But ever since she met Arzie, she felt peaceful and comfortable with the man. He's like getting protection from a father and an older brother from Arzie.

"Dad... The Mother... Grannies... Kira said goodbye first"

Kira put her foot out of the tomb. Then he went to school, some of his schoolmates were waiting for him at the gate. Kira asked her driver to come home. Then they walk to a friend's house near the school.
