One Summer Night "Only You Do I Believe"
Episode Forty four

Garuda Indonesia aircraft landed in Australia, Niken and Hans arrived in Canberra in the framework of workshops and seminars aimed at final-level graduate students. As an invited guest and speaker on multiple personalities, Niken's feelings are riven between happiness and nervousness. Because this is the first time he gave workshops and seminars to S2 students. But not with Hans, he was used to being a speaker in several countries. Both as an invited guest, as well as a resource person. The workshop schedule in Canberra lasts for 3 days. The next schedule is a workshop at a private university in Brisbane.

Hans and Niken arrive in Canberra, waiting for Elsa and Sam to pick them up and welcome them.

"They know we're gonna be here?" Ask Hans. Niken nodded confidently.

"Yes, for a while we can stay at Elsa's house." Niken answered while looking left and right. Hans agreed. "Hans, it's them. Elsa and Sam." Niken grabs hands cheerfully.

"Miss...?" Elsa Seru.

"Eld... Very kangen." Reply Niken.

"Sama, me too." Elsa hugged Niken longingly. "This is Hans. Hans is my best friend Elsa and she's Sam's husband." Niken happily introduced Hans to her best friend.

"You've been married a long time?" Ask Hans.

"Yes, that's fine." Answer Sam. Elsa nudged Sam's arm.

"Have a child?" Silly question. Batin Niken's. Elsa and Sam look at each other awkwardly.

"Elsa, would it be okay if I stayed at your house? Just a minute koq. Not long." Niken Imbuh. Elsa smiled and nodded happily.

"Of course, Niken. But our guest room has only one, how?" Reply Elsa.

"It's okay."

"Then let's go." Said Sam. Elsa, Niken and Hans nodded in agreement.

"Ohya, I'm so sorry for the passing of your father, Niken. I'm sorry I couldn't attend at the time." Elsa continued.

"It's okay, Elsa. I know you must be very busy. Especially now that you're a wife." Niken Imbuh.

"Ohya, isn't this Hans our level brother?" Ask Elsa to make sure.

Hans smiled, "Yes, it's Elsa. Sam is also a generation with me. Aren't we?" Reply Hans. Sam nodded. "I know you were very romantic, Sam. Is it still like Romeo?" Hans continued with a laugh. Sam laughed too.

"You remember the looks of it? Ahk, that's the past." Said Sam.

"Do you know each other?" Niken asked pointing at Sam and Hans.

"We are just different faculties. But one organization is the same as nature lovers." Sam answered.

"But he's not a romantic koq, Hans. He rarely gives me a gift." Elsa Imbuh.

"Ohya? He used to be very romantic. Arriving at the mountain alone, he wrote a diary and gave a gift in the form of a rare stone in the mountains. Until he fell into the lake." Hans replied with laughter.

"That's Hans. You're overreacting. Ohya, do you still praise Niken often?" Sam asked back to tease Hans.

"What's flirting?" Niken was surprised.

"Ehhhh shh, why are you so nosy." Hans poked Sam's back.

"So long ago, he said he would keep teasing you until he could get you, Niken. Just look at how hard it is to decide on her 10 girlfriends to be with you. And you know, this Hans guy dreams of you a lot." Obviously Sam. Niken glanced at Hans, and Hans smiled shyly.

"That's it." Reply Hans. Sam and Elsa let their guests in. And have prepared a guest room for them.

"Why did you come with Hans?" Elsa asked Niken, as they prepared the food to the table.

"He's my co-worker. We were appointed to hold a workshop together." Answer Niken. Elsa lowered her eyebrows while muttering in disbelief.

"mmmmm. That's all...?"

"Uhmmm, actually our relationship is more than that." Niken. Elsa was in disbelief.

"But shhh, don't tell Naira and the others. Not long ago Hans and I were officially dating." Obviously Niken.

"Geez Niken, this is the happy news I heard from you. In the end we find our soul mates. And find her true purpose as a woman." Reply Elsa while hugging Niken.

"Thanks Elsa." Niken slipped her hair into her ear. "Then what about you? Are you going to forget your secret admirer? And start the story with Sam?" Ask Niken.

Elsa shrugged her shoulders, "Come. Sam's pretty good, Niken. Maybe someday love will grow in each of us." Elsa replied with a sigh. Niken breathed.

"So do you love Sam now?" Niken put the grapes in his mouth.

"Eitherway. I don't know. But, everything he did to me just because he valued me as his wife instead of the one he loved." Reply Elsa.

"Tell me frankly." Niken put the grapes in her mouth again, and then she turned to face Elsa. Niken whispered to his best friend's ear, "have you ever had a relationship ****?" Elsa was surprised not to get stuck.

"You're crazy." While hitting Niken's arm slowly, Sam and Hans turned to them. Niken giggles, "no. We have never done anything about ****. Anyway my goal is to marry her just to attend S2 college here. And make all my dreams come true." Elsa continued.

"That means it's not him who doesn't love you. The problem is, it's inside you." Reply Niken.

"Emmm actually we're fine. We fought like most couples. I always prepare breakfast, prepare all her needs, and she's also pretty good. But yes, I don't love him. Our marriage is based on a purpose. My goal is college, his purpose...? Uhmmm....?" Elsa furrowed her brows. Think for a few minutes.

"His goal made you fall in love with him." Tukas Niken's.

"Niken, he doesn't love me." Imbuh Elsa sure.

"Who doesn't love who?" Sam asked suddenly.

"Uhmmm, it's nobody. Ohya, let's have dinner first. Let's Hans." Take Elsa. Hans agreed.

"I'm glad Hans finally made you fall in love with him." Sam's call to Niken.

"You guys gossiped about us?" Accuse Niken.

"No. Just a little story about how I fought for you." Reply Hans.

"I'm happy, Hans. Finally this apathetic Niken found her true love." Elsa.

"You're lucky to get Sam, too." Hans said as he put food in his mouth. "We thought he was gay. But it turns out that he only looked at one face that was none other than...."

"Sst Hans. You promised you'd keep it a secret. Once again you talk, I'll make sure this chili gets into your mouth." Sam's timpal cut out Hans's sentence.

"Ahk alright. You're Sam's coward." Ketus Hans's. Sam glared while holding a spoonful of sambal.

"Can you just shut up?" Sam threatened. Elsa and Niken looked at each other, as if they were asking, what secrets are they hiding?
