Already since 11:00 pm, the group of SMK Ellite Rovario was seen filling the arrival door at Soekarno Hatta Airport. Carrying their flags and school banners, the children in white ash uniforms looked enthusiastic and impatient to immediately welcome the arrival of Dafa and his other friends. Especially when Stevie Wallerima told that Dafa managed to bring home the winning trophy with a very proud result.

"Cock they haven't come yet, have you?" Ask a student.

Even Ms. Nuriyanti could not answer. Because he also did not know exactly when Dafa and the others would arrive.

"O Allah - O Rabb, I will finally meet him again. Thank you -- Thank you for granting my prayers all this time..."

Unlike the Suryatama Anggita who unceasingly expressed gratitude to the Almighty, Anindita even looked lethargic. Her usual face always looks stunningly beautiful with thick polish of expensive make-up, this time looking pale and plain.

"Mother, Sister Eka kok came for a long time huh..." Tukas was a thin boy who was none other than Eka's sister.

Yep. Not only Bu Nuriyanti, fellow teachers and students of SMK Ellite Rovario were seen in the welcoming group that afternoon.

But the parents and guardians of the students who participated in the Dafa troupe were also seen waiting for their children to come with anxiety.

Until the dzuhur adhan reverberated, Dafa and his entourage were still not visible. This means that their arrival schedule has been stalling for an hour and a half from the initial time.

"That's them...!!" A student shouted out loudly while pointing towards the inside of the airport.

And far away there, finally the group was seen as well.

"YOU GUYS...!!"

Eka's loud and loud voice instantly broke. He and Gabriel lifted the victory cup while rushing to run.

"Back.." Ardiansyah was suddenly nervous. Suddenly his courage to meet his son suddenly shrunk.

"We won, Miss Nuriyanti!!" Eka was screaming hysterically.

"WE'RE THE FIRST CHAMPIONS, GUYS...!!" Gabriel did not want to lose either.

Stevie Wallerima's eyes glazed over at the proud high-achieving teenagers.

"Happy children..." Said Bu Nuriyanti with happy tears that immediately flowed profusely wet her cheeks.

"Gabriel's.. "

Gabriel was shocked not to play when he saw the two people he loved so much, were among dozens of people in front of him now.

"Papi-Mommy..." Gabriel. Tight chest. But the tightness this time is not tight because of a sense of anger and emotion.

"Good darling..."

Gabriel rushed over, hugging his parents.

"Sorry Papi and Mami yes, Gabriel.. " Say her mother while stroking the teenager's head.

Sheila, who was equally surprised because her friends from the orphanage, took part in the pickup group that afternoon.

"Sheila, where's your friend Dafa?"

"Yes Sheila, we all want to see her..."

"Where's dafa? Where's she?"

Stevie Wallerima's question then awakened Eka and her other friends.

"Where are Fatma, Mr Inu and Dafa?" Ask Ms. Nuriyanti.

Asked that, Ms. Fatma and Ms. Fauziah also chirped. Looking to the right and left.

"So Mr. Inu--" When he turned to the west side, Ms. Fatma looked at her colleague. But it seems like something is different with his partner. "Where is he, Mr Inu?"

Inu also looked confused. "So I went with Dafa to the toilet. Then--- I think he's back.."

"Where is my grandson, Mr Inu?! Where's she?!" Anggita Suryatama immediately panicked. "Oh God..."

Inu also tried to contact Dafa's phone. His student number is in an inactive state.

"Try calling him on, Mr. Inu..." Anggita Suryatama really can not hide his immortality.

"Da-t-so..." Tita barely blinked when she saw the figure of her friend was riding a taxi in the distance there. "That's-- Dafa..."

"Diman--" Eka did not continue the sentence again. He also saw a figure with a light blue sweater in the distance.

But unfortunately, the figure had gone away in a taxi that took him somewhere.

"Sister, I got a letter.." A boy tugging at the end of Gabriel's jacket.

"Letter? A letter from who?"

The boy shrugged his shoulders. His smile was wide and brilliant. "From the brother whose eyes are blue like a cat.."

Gabriel grabbed the piece of paper folded in half. Then he looked at the teacher and his friends with a confused feeling.

"Random, Gabriel.." Pinta Stevie Wallerima's.

"Sir Inu.." Gabriel turned his face to his homeroom teacher instead. He finally handed the letter to Inu.

Inu gulped. But he also opened the letter.

"Random, Mr. Inu.." Pinta Bu Nuriyanti's.

Inu nodded. His throat was dry and heavy.

"Thank you for lying to me all this time. Are you happy now to see me like a fool...?"

Inu straightened his head. He spread his eyes out to all the people in front of him.

"This is all because of you -- you shouldn't be here...!" Anindita hissed with a very horrible look at her ex-husband and in-laws. "Your bastards! Get out of my sight forever...!"
