“Cry, it's okay. Because I have also cried like you even though I have grown up”, said Lidya.
“A girl will not be able to solve her own problems other than having to complain to her family. Sadness should not always be held in the chest, but overflow it. At least just by crying, it is enough to make us relieved”, he continued at length while stroking Noah's shoulders.
Noah continued to cry like a child because he really missed his father and also some events that he was unable to control.
Lidya herself was happy to be able to feel back a warm embrace like family. Being independent is necessary, but the affection and warmth of the family must always be maintained.
Lidya hopes that if one day she marries Ali, their relationship will be more harmonious and can create a full and happy family relationship.
Noah was calm, his longing for his father was slightly treated because of the warm embrace of Lidya.
“Thank you..”, Noah said.
“Do not hesitate. I know, I'm Lidya. The daughter of an old archaeologist”, said Lidya while taking off her arms.
“Archeologist?”, asked Noah.
“Iya. My father was an archaeologist and I was an archaeologist. Be that”, reply Lidya slightly chuckled.
“I too. I'm Noah. My father was an archaeologist and I was also an archaeologist”, Noah said but smiled more kindly.
“We are the same ya”
“Ahahaha yes.”
“Kalo so, do you want to take a short walk with me?”, take Lidya
“But, Naru..”, Noah said hesitantly while looking sadly at Naru.
“Let him rest first. Maybe, if you buy something for him he will be happy and wake up faster”, said Lidya
“Can that be?”
“Of course”
"Alright”
“Eh, wait. You smell Noah”, joked Lidya
“Ba-ba-ba-smell? Pardon me..”, said Noah felt very embarrassed.
“Ahahaha. You can shower first. I'll lend you some clothes. I'll get it. Ya” momentary
Noah got out of his place and immediately headed for the bathroom to take a shower. Lidya had also prepared a change of clothes at the table near the bathroom so that Noah could immediately change when he finished bathing.
After the bath, for a moment he saw the state of Naru. Smile for a moment and kiss his right hand, “I'll bring you something Naru, you must like. So, wait yes.”, said Noah then walked out to meet Lidya who was waiting outside.
Noah and Lidya take a walk to enjoy their togetherness around the residential area and the market. Although the atmosphere was quite foreign and different from the conditions in his country, Noah was quite able to adjust.
He did not feel shocked and confused because he was used to going abroad with his father. The streets are indeed one of his favorite to add insight and find something unique when passing through it.
“Sister Lidya, did you also cry?”
“What? Eh? Ummm.. Ahaha.. Childish once”, said Lidya reasoned.
“Why were you crying brother?”
“Do not discuss, I am ashamed to tell it”
“Eeehh.. Then, where is your father now?”
“She's here anyway, just researching something that caught her eye again”
“Interesting attention? What is it?”
“My father saw a mirage in the desert sana”
“Fata-morgana?”
“Iya. A huge kingdom suddenly appeared and glowed there. So that Dad and Ali were immediately interested and wanted to research it immediately. In vain is a mirage. Even if we go there, we will get nothing. Right, Noah?”
“Noah, look! This store sells what a girl like us” needs, said Lidya.
“Eh? What is it?”
“Come we enter”
“Uwwaaa..”, Noah was immediately amazed to see the contents of the store that turned out to be very spacious and magnificent. Like a dance hall or mall in his country.
Residential settlements in the desert country are very modern. The densely populated houses are protected with five pillars and connected by a super thick and high fortification wall.
Before they enjoyed the items that attracted their eyes and hearts, Lidya took Noah up the shop tower in the center of the building. Lidya began to push the elevator button and immediately entered with the group.
It only took them a few minutes, they had reached the top of the shop tower. A very high tower soared the sky.
“Look, Noah. From here we can see the whole of this country”
“Uwwaa. What's there, where you guys researched about the mirage?”, asked Noah
“Eh? Can you see it from here?”
“Yups. Looks very clear”
“Iya although we can see everything from here, but the place is pretty even very far hlo Noah. Dad's jeep car just isn't visible.
“I can see it, brother. Hihihi.”.
Although Noah felt proud to be able to see very clearly but he did not realize that it was due to the reaction from his eyes. His eyes could see very clearly even at a great distance.
“There's someone with white hair, is that your father brother?”
“Mana?”, Lidya so be curious.
Even without binocular aids Noah could see it very clearly. Lidya also took her binoculars which were always placed in her trouser belt. It was so far away that he had to keep adjusting his zoom so that it could be a little obvious, but it still didn't work.
“What's with the girl?”, muttered Lidya.
“Kalo so, we go down yuk”, take Lidya.
Lidya and Noah looked around at the goods that were displayed freely in the rows of shops. Very unique and different, no beautiful colors but dominant colors brown, gold, red, green and white. No clothes that Noah used to wear, only abaya clothes and robes and fabrics that stretched wide.
Unique lanterns and foods typical of desert country. It was very difficult for Noah to find an item that he thought was beautiful for him and Naru. The fruits are only available apples, oranges, grapes and dates.
“Kak Lidya used to buy what here?”
“What? Ahaha no. I rarely shop Noah, I just came here just looking around and pampering the eyes of course”
“Ooohh.”
“Is there anything that catches your attention?”, asked Lidya
“What yes? I haven't found it either, hehe”, replied Noah
“I want to buy this lamp made of copper, but it looks like Naru will not like it. Because he doesn't like metal things. Especially if there is fire”, inner Noah.
“What yes? Umm..”, Noah is still thinking of finding something suitable for Naru. But, it turns out that he was very difficult.
“Sister Lidya, does sister have someone most valuable besides a father?”
“Um? Meaning?”
“Iya.. Ummm.. Someone you love the most”, said Noah lowered his head while playing around with his finger in shame.
“Ahahaha.. You know Noah”
“What? Is there a brother? Wh-who?”
Secret donk..”, reply Lidya grinning.
“Eh?”
