The man pointed out several places where he spent his adolescence to adulthood while studying until graduating with his S2 degree.
A school with a semi-military education system where almost all family members also attend school, especially their sons.
"There's the dorm, and that's the school." He pointed to buildings that stood majestically on the right side with a high fence with typical Soviet architecture that is not devoured by the times.
"I'm not going to take you there because it's forbidden for civilians." Daryl chuckles.
And Andrei kept driving the car until they entered the urban center. Where are the historical places.
The Spasskaya Clock Tower welcomes with its grandeur. It became an iconic symbol for the Russian people and a marker of where they are now.
Then they passed through the most famous Cathedral of the Savior in all of Russia, and proceeded to Moscow City.
The Moscow River became his next destination, then continued around Moscow State University, visiting Lomonosov University where Daryl studied further, the Bolshoi Theatre, and finally to Red Square which is also called Red Square in the afternoon.
The magnificent Kremlin palace complex became the most striking thing in the place. Where there are towers that were once a fortress of the city.
Standing more than two kilo meters long protects the palace complex, one of which is the residence of the president.
"Whoaaa …." Nania looked at the building with sparkling eyes.
"Isn't that good?"
"Yes. How are the people in it?" Nania took some pictures with her cell phone camera.
"No how-how, they're going to work for the government." Daryl chuckles.
"Hows it? Are you satisfied I took you around Moscow? This is not so much because we only visit the center. Not some other place that'll make you even more dazzled." The man embraces Nania's shoulder and takes her walking past the other side of the field which is starting to get crowded.
The reduced snow made the atmosphere a little friendlier for anyone.
"Let's see President Lenin at the museum before we go home?" Daryl who pulled it after being satisfied to take pictures in several places.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Nania climbed into the bed where her husband was. The man was still focusing on his laptop upon their return from the city sightseeing event.
"We're still here?" Nania started the conversation.
"depends." Daryl replied without turning his eyes.
"When do we get home?"
"When you want to."
"When do you want it?" Nania continued to ask, making the man pause his activities for a moment then turned his head.
"Well, I'll still be here. Because nothing bothers me." she replied with a laugh.
"When do I start school?"
"If it's not wrong next week."
"It won't be much longer dong, here?"
"Yes, you're right."
"So, when do we get home?" ask Nania again.
"Hmm ... When do you want it?" Daryl asked back.
"No idea, it's up to you."
The man thought for a moment.
"Tomorrow then" he said, then returned to his laptop.
"Tomorrow?"
"Yes. I guess you don't seem to be lingering outside the house for long, so we'd better go home tomorrow?"
"It's okay if for example you still want to be here one or two more days. We can …."
"Tomorrow. There is something you need to prepare for school, right?"
"Mh …."
The man seemed to close the laptop after turning it off first, then placed it on the nightstand. Then he typed something on the phone before finally turning it off as well.
"Well, we'd better take a break if we're going home tomorrow. I've sent a message to Andrei and the pilot" he said, who had his head resting on a pillow.
Nania was stunned after a while.
"Hey?" call Daryl who made Nania realize from her daydream.
"Come!" he said, who moved his fingers as a signal to Nania to approach.
The woman shifted then she also laid her body beside Daryl who immediately embraced her.
"Are you going to sleep?" Nania is still talking.
"I'm trying."
"Aren't you so sleepy?"
"Little."
"I haven't."
"Try to sleep. Tomorrow morning we leave" said Daryl who is not as usual.
"Daddy?"
"Hum?"
"Are you angry with me?" Nania hasn't stopped talking.
"No, why should I be mad at you?" Daryl chuckles.
"Kok I think you're different?"
"don't know. Am I wrong?"
"Nothing, why are you asking that?"
"Just feel that way."
"Hmm ... overthinking relapses huh?"
"Maybe."
"That's why we need to go home, maybe."
"Hu'um, maybe."
"Have it, just sleep okay?"
Nania nodded her head as she wrapped her hands around the man's body.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
They arrived in Jakarta in the afternoon after a long drive from Sherementyevo. He went straight to the house where everyone was waiting.
It's been the weekend so the whole family gets together including Darren and Kirana.
"Aaaa glad you're home?" Sofia hugged her son and daughter-in-law, as well as the others.
"Almost I'm following you to Switzerland, Der!" Darren embraces his twin brother.
"Ah, there's no way I'll allow it! Are you not satisfied for two weeks in the Maldives?" The brother replied.
"Just want to be there during the holiday season."
"No way!!"
The conversation made everyone laugh.
"Tante Nna?" Zenya as usual caught Nania's attention since they arrived.
"Yes Zen?"
"The one I threw away yesterday."
"God! Still about the caterpillars?" Daryl reacted to his nephew's remarks.
"The fire needs to be thrown away. It's a danger." Nania answered.
"It's not that."
"Keep what?"
"His seat died so Opa said it had to be thrown away."
Nania laughs.
"Yes, you shouldn't be raising animals like that, Zen. Why not a rabbit or a goat, maybe? It's good that a big one can be slaughtered and eaten by the meat." Daryl.
"Ih, Om Der cruel. The time the pet is slaughtered continues to be eaten? Evil knows!" anya who approached them after finishing her favorite ice cream.
"Well, that's their destiny. You also eat meat, where does the meat you eat come from? Yes, originally from the animals that are kept."
"If you want to eat, buy it at the market. A lot? Why kill a pet?" Anya answered.
"Opa, will you buy a rabbit with a goat boy? Let me have a pet. Om Der protests continue if the pet is a millipede or caterpillar. It's bummer." The boy approached his grandfather.
"What's? Joking huh? You want to make the home page smell of goats, huh? Ngaco!"
"So Om said that, tell me to keep a rabbit or a goat?"
"Yes, but that means …." Daryl hung his words as Nania squinted her hand.
"Well, why do you want to see your kids arguing?" said the woman.
"But they like to talk. Do you want to keep goats here? That's right." Daryl answered.
"Aren't you the one who said that?" Rania answered from the doorway.
"It's just a parable."
"Just like I told them."
"Ah, you cheated. How to play a game!" The man rolled his eyeballs.
"Yes, you've got to hang out first." The brother-in-law replied again.
"Well, why are you arguing too?" Then Sofia broke into a conversation.
"Umm .. Can I go to my room now?" Nania also spoke. "I'm kind of tired, a little unwell, too."
"Oohh, of course, 14-hour plane ride is not kidding." Rania sat on the sofa where her husband was.
"Yes, jet lagg looks like this bad, duh." Nania nodded her head which felt dizzy.
"Yes, rest first we will eat together" Sofia replied to her daughter-in-law who soon rose.
"Hey, where are you going?" Daryl reacted when his two nephews also followed.
"You're coming with Aunt Nna." Zenya.
"Can't! Aunt Nna wants a break, and Om does too. No one can disturb!" said Daryl who pulled Nania upstairs.
"Here are the kids, don't bother? Maybe there's a gift from Moscow." Rania called her two children, making the people who were there laugh.
