The sky entered the room in a hurry. He could not wait to read Yatna's letter. The boy opened the letter after he sat on the big mattress and started reading the contents.
‘For dearest Sky.’
‘How are you doing after going through hell training? I hope you're okay and don't give up. Here we were fine, eating regularly, studying together with Salsa Tea, also having a little quarrel with Nyoman. Nothing is different, unless there is news that next month there is a couple who want to adopt. The news made one parlor excited once.’
After he finished reading it, Sky immediately sat down at the study table. He picked up the paper and pen, then immediately wrote a reply letter.
‘For dearest Yatna.’
‘It looks like I've gone crazy for feeling good about doing hell practice. But it was all because the hard training I was doing was paying off. I'm sure you'll be surprised to see me again. I hope whoever gets adopted, they can meet good parents. Say hello to Nyoman, I hope she does not forget her promise to me.’
The sky folded the letter and put it in an envelope. Not forgetting, he slipped a flower-shaped hairpin. This was a small gift from Sky when he went to Mall Indonesia for the first time. Fortunately Fuji did not refuse his request to buy this hairpin.
The night grew late when the sky finished writing the letter. The clock showed at nine o'clock in the evening. The blue-eyed boy immediately changed clothes, then went up to the bed to sleep. Tomorrow is an important day, for the first time Heaven will see firsthand the martial athletes. This will be a small step towards his promise to Nyoman.

It should be a fun and exciting day. It was thrilling, but this thump was not what the Heavens had expected. Though he only came to the Nusantara Union to see the athletes train. Also follow Regi who is doing a routine evaluation. But why was he in the middle of the arena, facing off against a boy his age in front of so many senior athletes?
Two hours earlier…
After finishing the exercise and breakfast, the sky went down the stairs to the terrace of the house. Regi was waiting in front of the car with Bastian. As soon as the sky came, the head of the Sanjaya family immediately got into the car, followed by his adopted son. Bastian closed the car door, bowing politely removing the departure of the young master and the great master.
It takes about an hour drive to the Nusantara Union. That afternoon the streets of the capital were crowded as usual, filled with motorists and cars passing by. Sometimes it looks transjakarta and also the train passes occasionally. It was the first experience Sky saw the many vehicles.
Setiba them in the United Nusantara located in East Tebet. Regi and Sky got out of the car, stepping into a medium-sized but spacious building. Along the way many people greeted politely. They are none other than employees of the Nusantara Union.
The sky walked beside Regi, occasionally stealing the view of how his adoptive father returned the greetings of his employees. They all look friendly, the interaction of the father with some people who are higher in the United States looks familiar. The boy was amazed by Regi.
“Welcome, Mr Regi!” a middle-aged man in training pants greeted.
“Morning too, Mr. Endang. How's your first wife and child?” Regi returned a handshake with a friendly smile.
“Thanks to the attention of Mr. Regi, my son was born safely and my wife's condition is getting better after giving birth.”
“Accordingly glad to hear it!” Regi patted Endang's shoulder, “You should still have time off, why rush to work?”
Endang blushed in shame, “Our defeat in the World Cup elimination yesterday made a big impact for me and the team. I want to train the kids better so they can qualify and be one of the winners in the next Tournament!”
Regi nodded, smiling proudly at the ambition of one of the senior coaches in the Nusantara States. He then pushed slowly on Sky's back, about to introduce his son.
“This time I came not alone. Sky, introduce yourself, son.”
“Good day, Mr. Endang. My name is Sky, nice to meet you.”
Chocolate beads Endang shines inquisitively, “It's nice to meet you too.” reply while glancing towards Regi.
“He is my adopted son, later the Nusantara Union will be forwarded by him.” Regi said tell.
Endang nodded in understanding, he bowed politely. “Then, please help Young Master.”
“I too, please help.” The sky was already no longer feeling awkward if one bowed respectfully and called him young master.
When the three of them were about to discuss the development of the athlete. Suddenly from the direction of the entrance, a ten year old child appeared. The boy was dark-skinned, his hair curly in a short flap style. The interesting thing about his arrival was how the boy walked. The side staggering step crashed into the items and people he had met countless times.
Endang seemed to have memorized the behavior of the child, because he immediately ruffled his waist while shaking his head. The middle-aged man then asked one of his colleagues to help the boy who had fallen to the floor and could not get up to stand.
“It's still the same for him, hasn't changed as well even though it's been almost a year here.” Regi smiled faintly looking at the little boy who was being pushed. “Ivano!” call later.
The boy raised his head, his black bead clashing before shining merrily. The boy immediately released the hand of one of his seniors and ran towards Regi despite staggering.
Regi nods briefly, “During zinc meet, new ale coming?”
“Beta wants to come early in the morning, mar beta has a headache once!” Ivano held his head in reason.
Endang who was standing next to Ivano clucked softly, “Who told ale to drink?! I said stop, ale still hinged!”
The sky watched their interactions in silence, to be honest he was half clueless. Just this time the boy heard a conversation with the regional language. Although little knowledge, at least Sky knows the language they use is the language of the Ambon region. Language from the eastern part of Indonesia, the Ambon Tribe is the largest tribe in Maluku that inhabits the Ambon region and around.
“Ose who?” suddenly Ivano's attention turned to the sky.
Endang immediately attached the head of Ivano first, “Should ale kasih first name just asked!”
Ivano paused quietly, rubbing the back of his head that didn't really hurt. He just likes to make Endang go up in blood.
“Beta has the name Ivano Nafali, Ambon.” beta
“My name is Sky, nice to meet you, Ivano.”
“Ale can call beta, Ano. This guy used to call beta so, ale new boy?”
This time Endang replied, “Langit is Pak Regi's son, so ale jang talalu mongo-mongo!”
The sky immediately pulled down the edge of Regi's shirt, “What does that mean, Om?” he asked while whispering softly.
“That means, you don't get too careless.” The sky nodded in understanding, then Regi's attention returned to Ivano and Endang.
“Mumpung there Ivano, how about Sky fight with him?”
The sudden words from Regi made the three heads look at him in unison. The sky rounded his eyes funny, he had never fought a match since Yohan trained. Meanwhile Endang felt his students were not worthy to be Sky training friends.
“Beta is no problem, mar beta has a head is sick.” Ivano returns slowly, “Beta wants real home permission.”
“Sadly, even though I have prepared pocket money for the winner.” said Regi, lethargic and want to put back his wallet which was somehow since when he took out.
“thought again, beta seng headache. Whenever beta is ready!”
“Good. So, what about you, Sky?” Regi asked, turning his face towards his son.
“I'm also ready!”
The real sky was still uncertain, yet he also wanted to know the extent of his development after training. So he accepted Regi's proposal and finally the two ten-year-old children stood face to face in the arena. Many senior athletes and coaches circle outside the arena to watch.
“Ale jan angry, ale lost for beta this time, yes!” Ano smiled widely, while putting on a clear look. “Let's buy a drink!”
The sky frowned, trying to understand Ivano's words. But he did not have time to answer, the sound of sign gongs began to sound loud.
