Satria stood on the Red bridge, waiting for Tiara to cross. Almost 15 minutes waiting, Tiara was finally seen pedaling a bicycle.

"Dek." call Satria.

Tiara stopped her bike, and pulled the bike close to the sidewalk. Tiara smiled, and kissed the back of Satria's hand.

"Sister, I don't call or send a message if you want to make an appointment here" said Tiara.

"Suddenly want to meet you, Brother miss you" said Satria while holding Tiara's hand.

"But why not somewhere else, why should we be here?" ask Tiara.

"So I want to, just here. Brother wants, this Red bridge is a witness." replied Satria.

"It seems like there's something serious you want to talk about?" tiara.

"Yes, I want to tell you. If brother, no more duty here. Brother moved, and far beyond the island."

Tiara was silent as she stared at Satria, the man she loved was looking at her as well.

"When will you go?" ask Tiara.

"Sister, I'll take care of everything here first. When it's done, then the brother will leave." replied Satria.

"I will continue this relationship, brother will also wait for me?" ask Tiara.

"Yes, I want to wait for you" replied Satria.

" We have to communicate with each other, brother, we have to trust each other. Because trust is important, when we're in a long-distance relationship."

"Dear baby, on February 16th every year, you'll be home, you'll be waiting for your brother on this bridge. Let this bridge be a witness to our love, until we age together, there is a whole history of us here." Satria said.

"No appetite" replied Tiara, to make her parents stop eating.

"Why you, baby?" ask Mr. Agus.

"Satria's sister, want to move Mother's father" replied Tiara.

"But you're still in a relationship, aren't you, Satria?" ask Mother Lydia.

"Still, it's just that we rarely meet. He said, Brother Satria, will come home every February 16." replied Tiara.

"Why should it be February 16th?" ask Mr. Agus.

"And that February 16th, our sacred date. Where the date of that date, is our anniversary." replied Tiara explaining.

"If Satria is your soul mate, she won't go far. Surely it will remain the same you, if Satria is not your soul mate, God will keep you away from him" said Mr. Agus.

"Your father said, if the soul mate is where Satria is, and you are where you are. It will definitely be united." said Mother Lydia.

"But I'm scared like your story. Scared like Mas Tino, we don't know" Tiara said.

"Well that's it, the LDR's temptation."

"But we have to believe, Mother's father said. If he is our soul mate, God will bring us closer, but if not our soul mate, God will keep away" said Tiara.

"So which prayer did I pray?" ask Inara.

"Yes that prayer." replied Tiara.
