The Arrival of Takeshi and Himawari

The well-built, white-eyed man stepped out of the plane with a little girl. Yes, it was Takeshi and his daughter Himawari, after a long journey from the land of the rising sun, the father and son finally arrived at the city of a thousand rivers, Banjar Masin.

"Are you tired, son?" Takeshi asked his daughter.

"Of course, pa, but don't try to carry me, because I am a big boy and I still walk strong" said Himawari to make his father smile.

After a long time just exchanging letters with Mr. Ruslan makes Takeshi decide to visit his best friend.

Many changes in the city since he last visited but did not make him forget the location of the residence of Mr. Ruslan.

"Excuse me," Takeshi said as he knocked on the magnificent wooden house many times.

"It looks like there's nobody in this house, pa," Himawari said.

"Yes, it's quiet. Let's ask the next door neighbor first."

"Excuse me, sir. I'm a friend of Mr. Ruslan, why is his house deserted, huh?" Tanya Takeshi is fluent in Indonesian.

"Oh, this sir ... Mr. Takeshi, right?" neighbor sir Ruslan.

"Yes, sir." Sahut Takeshi with a friendly smile, what a happiness for him, still known by neighbor Mr. Ruslan.

"Well, welcome back, sir. Sure Mr Takeshi wants to see Mr Ruslan?"

"Yes, but he's not at his house is he probably at work or at another house?"

"Oh, Mr. Ruslan has been hospitalized for several days, sir."

"Jeez, Mr. Ruslan's sick, huh?"

"Yes, sir. Heartache."

"Oh, so, yeah."

"If Agastya, do you know him?"

"Agastya, bang Aga?"

"Yes. Where is he?"

"If his house was not far from the riverbank, he was neighbor to Zain, the first son of Ruslan sir, sir."

"Can you take us to his house?"

"Could, sir. Come," welcome Mr. Ruslan's neighbor, friendly.

"Of Agaaaa!" himawari screeched as he looked at Agastya from a distance.

"Jeez, Himawari .. Mr Takeshi?" Agastya was surprised to see the father and son who suddenly approached his residence.

"How are you, sir?"

"Well, as you can see, Aga. We're okay how are you? Well, you seem to have succeeded with your efforts, yes."

"All thanks to the help of the master."

"Ck, I'm just an intermediary still your success thanks to your own hard work. Oh yes, please don't call me 'master' anymore, because I'm no longer your leader."

"Keep, how best? I've been used to calling 'master' since the beginning'.

"Like father Ryujo and mama Monic, just call my papa Takeshi sir" Himawari said.

"Well, maybe too. By the way, you've grown up now Himawari, just more beautiful," praised Agastya making Himawari's cheeks blush.

"You don't want to let us into your house, Ga?"

"Eh, sorry tu-em, sir. Hehe, let's go inside, " said Agastya.

"I was at Ruslan's house, but said the neighbor who brought us here earlier, said Mr. Ruslan was sick."

"Really, sir. It has been treated for almost 1 week. Later we visit him to the hospital, now the father and Himawari rest first, yes," Agastya bargained while lifting Takeshi's suitcase to the guest room.

"Wow, so Aga has met Sora's sister?" Himawari asked while looking at some photos on the wall of Agastya's house.

"Yes, I live with your sister Sora in this house."

"Oh, where is Sora's sister now?"

Agastya was stifled at Himawari's innocent question. She was confused as to how to explain that their relationship was not really okay.

"When did he come back? I miss Sora very much" said Himawari.

"So soon, maybe a few more days."

Seeing the hesitant Agastya reply, Takeshi so caught that something was wrong with Aya. "Hm, where exactly is Aya, why isn't she with Agastya?" inner Takeshi.

"Himawari, clean your body and keep resting, son," Takeshi told her daughter.

"Ah yes Himawari, let me take you to your room" Agastya said as she led the little girl.

"Right, have you met Aya?" Ask Takeshi.

"Yes, sir."

"He's with you here?" Look at Takeshi again.

"Yeah. Um.... She was with me, but we were having problems so while she was staying at Zain's house next door, while helping Zain's wife who had just given birth."

"What problems? Why did you let your wife stay in someone else's house?"

"Ehm .." Again Agastya was trapped in guilt, he was confused how to explain the matter he had with Aya.

"Dear, if there are household problems should be solved immediately with a cold head, do not let your wife out of the house like this," Takeshi advised in a cold tone of voice.

"Eh, you should also clean up and rest before we meet Mr. Ruslan later in the afternoon," Agastya tried to avoid Takeshi's curiosity.

"Hm, fine, but you owe me an explanation" Takeshi said before entering the room prepared for him and Himawari.

Himawari was sitting in front of the window when her father came into the room.

"What are you doing, son?"

"See them. Papa, it seems their game is very exciting," Himawari said while pointing out the window.

"They?" muttered Takeshi who was following the direction of his son's index finger.

"Pa, I want to play with those kids, okay?" himawari Pinta.

"Hm .. Can you not, huh?"

"Come, pa. Please."

"But you're still tired, tomorrow."

"Huh, I've been sleeping, Himawari scowled.

"Ah, okay .. but don't be long, yeah. Ask Aga to drop you off and if your new potential friends ask you who, just tell me you're Aga's niece."

"Good, pa. Thank you, I love you."

"I love you too, baby."

"I played first, pa. Bye."

"Yes, careful. Remember don't be long, go home before sundown."

"Ok, pa."

The little girl then ran over to Agastya and expressed her wish.

"Om Aga, I want to play with the kids on the next page."

"Did your father allow it?"

"Yes, don't be long. Please take me there, om."

"Well then," Agastya was happy to deliver Himawari, for the children must have been Alif, Amar and his friends playing in Zain's yard. At least he had a reason to go there, who knew he could see Aya.

A few days ago he had time to meet Aya, apologizing and asking Aya to return home, but Aya refused on the grounds of wanting to find calm while helping Mama Alif who had just returned from the hospital.

"Alif, Amar .. introduce your new friend, this is my nephew, his name is Himawari." After Agastya said that, the children immediately approached Himawari and in a short time, Himawari immediately mingled and played with his new friends.

"Hey, where did you come from? Why do you speak Indonesian?" Ask the kids when they are resting.

"Japan" replied Himawari.

"Where is japan?" Ask Amar.
