WINTER GLOW'S

Mika's First Love

Twenty years ago…

Winter in Finland…

A four-year-old little girl hugged her favorite teddy bear, her big pretty eyes occasionally blinked beautifully very melt the heart of anyone who saw it. His sweet smile always adorns wherever his feet step adds sweet to his cute face with long hair.

“ Yeye to snowmake pa”

The little girl had not been able to pronounce her name properly until making her own call to her name.

“ Can Rere dear, but be careful yes.” Such was his nickname Rere, but his cheek tongue could only pronounce Yeye

“ Aaaaaaaaa.. mamaaaa.” Little Rere fell down and immediately cried. Not far from where the girl was there was a boy of his age who came to want to help.

" Oh careful dear" her mother ran from a distance to help.

" Oh don't cry." The mother of the man closer to the scene smiled, especially when she saw her four-year-old son trying to help with his innocence.

" Cup, cup, cup.don't cry. Is this chocolate want?" The mother smiled. Very wise of my son, he thought. He even helped the little girl who was the same age as him, to stand up and clean his coat which was hit by snow.

“ Yes Yes do not cry.” The sweet boy smiled sincerely on his charming face making the cry of the little girl beside him subside, even he was able to reply with a smile as well. Their little fingers met as if they were starting a destiny.

“ I'm Mika, you what her name is.” With sounds and typical toddler's accent.

“ Yeye.”

" Oh thank you, uh.thank you, thank you."

" Indians are too.."

" Oh yaaaa.. happenstance yes.thank you son mother is very good, smart yes. I'm Frianka." Raising hands to get acquainted.

“ Oh my Melan. Glad to meet Indonesians here too.”

“ Ah yes I am also very happy.”

" Hahaha Yes, thank you aunty. Stay first yes. we want to go back to the hotel again. Come on baby"

" Oh yaa.thank you so much. Looks like we're in the same hotel"

" Or want to come with us, we can tour together."

" Oh..happily so..This holiday with the office team.sorry.."

" Oh yeah, it's okay..." At the same time when the mother is busy.

" Don't be sad anymore." The handsome little one wiped the tears of the little princess, who still looked sad, even still seemed to be her tears. The little beauty also nodded funny.

Somehow the familiarity was just so intertwined, the two occasionally laughed along with the toddler language that was only understood by them. the two toddlers were instead seen joining hands, playing together. Luteaa...

" Thank you again..Come baby.." Both mothers gently pull their child's hand, the devil took off his new best friend's hand heavily while letting go of each other's farewell views ended with a small smile.

With a destiny, God reunited the two toddlers miraculously. Too many coincidences if you say an accident. They met this time, a toy store.

“ Uh hi... Sister Melan? I was Frianka who met the other day at the hotel park, remember?”

“ Oh Yes... Our little mika doesn't stop telling me how much fun it is to be with Yeye.”

“ Yeye is also an adorable name, I like Yeye.”

“ Hahahhaha... oh buy toys also yes mbak?”

“ Yes tomorrow want to go back to Indonesia Mika ask to buy toys, so I think all of you buy souvenirs for families in Indonesia.”

“ Waduh please klo gituh mbak, continue shopping. I also want to look around with Yeye.”

“ Ah that they've met.” Melan and Frianka looked at each other and smiled together to see Yeye aka Rere aka Reca when she was a toddler choosing a toy along with Mika. Even the two compactly choose the same toy, Eeg surprise.

" I'll see you tomorrow." The little girl with curly hair nodded at the meeting again with little Mika. The two toddlers looked serious and so sure they would meet again when they were just two toddlers who went with their parents, who just goes where the parents go without being able to ask them where they want to go. But like a miracle that granted the sincere wishes of these two toddlers, once again they were reunited at the same toy store because Melan accidentally left his wallet so it was called back by the store clerk to take his personal belongings. While Frianka had to return to the store because Reca's cousin also wanted the same toy.

" Hey. This.. will you?" Mika gave all the Ice Cream in her hand to Reca who immediately smiled happily, she also unhesitatingly held Mika's hand and swung her around spoiledly. But the smile soon receded as both of their parents had to leave the store in different directions.

" Mama don't..." The two toddlers tried to keep his best friend's hand but still the small force was helpless.

" Let's go, baby, we gotta get home soon." They looked at each other until they were completely separated, the lashes of both seemed to start getting wet from crying. I don't know when they'll see each other again.

" Don't wait.."

" Dam..." Little Reca occasionally turned around trying to see the face of his friend although occasionally keteteran follow the footsteps of the mother.

Who would have guessed that their cries did not subside in their respective hotel rooms, making both parents confused especially their bodies now feel warm like they will get a fever. Though the rapid ticket both families have been booked with a warm schedule that is almost the same but different airlines.

Finally Melan moved first to the hotel receptionist to meet with Frianka in the hotel lobby, because the receptionist will not give the customer's room number to strangers. Frianka immediately rushed to see Melan and exchanged room numbers, then Mika and her parents visited the small Reca room which was immediately happy to see her friend.

“ Sorry once mbak Melan, sampe ngerepotin rich gini.”

“ Ga anything, Mika is also rich in rowdy tuh tuh...”

“ Oiya knows this my husband Branu Sanjaya.” Seeing a husband who was a little confused by this impromptu meeting also made Frianka introduce her husband to be more familiar.

“ I Darmawangsa. My wife told me about the children.. hahahha... amazing how can ya.”.

“ Let's tell in the middle room only Mr. Darma, let the wives be the same children.”

“ Hahahaha.. Yes mari.”.

Strangely so met the fever both down and back cheerful. Melan, who at that time could not believe if she did not see with her own eyes, was touched so deeply.

“ Aircraft what time is it tomorrow?”

“ At nine in the morning, relieved Mika has dropped her fever. I think I should cancel the plane tomorrow, thank God.”

“ Yes thank goodness..”.

Maybe their bodies are small but their sincere hearts seem to move destiny.

" Mama... tomorrow if we come back here again?" Mika suddenly comes trus tugging at the end of her mother's clothes. Melan stared at Frianka asking for an opinion, she did not want to answer before knowing Frianka's reaction. Frianka smiled and squatted near Mika.

" Yes, baby, we'll see you here next time." Mika who was happy immediately approached little Reca and told her what she heard with excitement.

" My frianka.. ummmm. I don't want to lie to Mika if it's hard then it should be..." Melan shook her head, staring sadly at Frianka.
