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

After finishing filling out Gilbert's youtube content show. Niken and Hans return to the hotel. No conversation on the way home. They are busy with their own thoughts.

Why didn't I know that Hans was going back to Russia? Why do I know from others? Is Hans hiding something from me? What is this...? I also forgot to explain about my studies. How'this?

"Nhh, Hans..." Niken's exclaim broke the silence as they arrived at the hotel. Hans scratched his temple.

"Emmmm...?"

"There's something I want to tell you." Niken Imbuh. Hans nodded.

"Yes, me too." Reply Hans. Niken sat in a chair.

"I don't know where Gilbert knows about my doctoral studies. I actually finished my desertation. Already trial. But haven't taken my diploma in Turkey. They didn't hold my diploma. But, in the past, I had volunteered as a lecturer there. Because I was often invited to various seminars and talk shows in the UK. I can't give them certainty. So, you don't get me wrong." Obviously Niken.

"So, are you going to Turkey?" Hans asked, Niken nodded.

"Yes, but later, after the end of the semester." Answer Niken. Hans breathed out his breath.

"Ummm, I also want to explain everything to you." Hans. Niken. "I'm a professor who teaches in Russia. My contract isn't done yet because when I went to Seoul I met you." Hans. Niken scrunched his forehead. Hans clasped Niken's hand, "I'm sorry. I know it might be a big decision, but, I don't want to waste you anymore, Niken. Really, then and now, I really don't want to lose you. When Il-Nam gave me your bag. I accidentally saw your personal book. Your workplace and apartment address. I moved into the apartment next door. And I also deliberately moved the workplace to your college. All that I did was because I wanted to correct my past mistakes. But my feelings and my heart are not engineered. Really." Hans. Niken breathed.

"Then are you going back to Russia?" Ask Niken.

Hans shook his head, "No." Answer's short. Niken hit Hans' arm many times.

"Stupid. If you don't go back what about the contract. You want to give them false hope. You should be able to choose one. Want to live in Indonesia or Russia?" Niken scolded her lover.

"Aw aw... You have what energy. It's so strong to hit him." Reply Hans.

"Hans, I'm serious..."

"Yes, I'm serious too." Hans pulled Niken's arm and hugged him.

"You love me?" Ask Niken to make sure.

"Yes I love you." Answer Hans.

"Lied." Ketus Niken by letting go of her embrace.

"No. I'm not lying."

"If your nose develops it's a sign you're lying." Said Niken. Hans touched his nose.

"Who said that?"

"Yes."

"If I lie. There's no way I'm moving in next door to your apartment. There's no way I'm willing to move to work where you work. I did it all for you, baby." Evidently.

"But your nose..." Show Niken.

"Do you believe me or Haya? Huh?"

"Emmm, you."

"Yes, just trust me."

"You really love me?" Niken asked again as if she could not believe Hans that she loved him.

"Others I have to prove to you? What do you want? Huh uh? You want a plane, you want a mansion, what do you want? Let me buy it now." Said. Niken smiling sumringah.

"But are you moving to Russia?" Ask Niken to make sure.

"No. I'm not moving. But I'll be there to finish my contract." Answer Hans. Suddenly Niken hugged Hans.

"All right, Mr. Hans. This time I want to hold you until morning." Said Niken. Hans hugged her back, he kissed Niken's fragrant hair.

"Don't. I don't want to. Let go of me." Canda Hans's. Niken deliberately tightened her embrace. And they lay in bed.

"

Nikens... It hurts..." Niken laughed happily. Hans tickled his waist.

"You cheated. No, I don't want to." Reply Niken. Niken tried to hold Hans' hand, but his strength wasn't enough.

"I'm blush..." Said Niken.

"Silence...?" Niken nodded. Hans tidied up Niken's hair. Then he kissed Niken's lips gently.

***

Niken nodded. "Surely."

Hans stroked her lover's hair gently.

"You must be happy." Hans.

"I'll be happy with you."

"There is or there is no me. You should be happy."

Niken looked up, Hans peeked his forehead. "If you ever fought for me. Then I too must fight for you. We, we're not going to split up. Forever together." Reply Niken. Hans changed his position, he kissed again Niken's lips.

After the show is over, Niken and Hans invite Elsa and Sam to go watch together. After that Niken and Hans went shopping to the department store. And shopping for souvenirs.

"Would you like to come home tonight?" Ask Elsa. Niken nodded.

"Where do you think Hans? The food here is good, right?" Ask Sam. Hans agreed.

Hans and Niken don't mind when Elsa and Sam take her to lunch together.

"Uhmmm Niken...?" Elsa Seru.

"What you were talking about at the time. That's." Elsa continued.

Niken scrunched his forehead, suddenly, "wahhh. Seriously?" Elsa nodded her head. "Where, good?" Niken raised both eyebrows. Elsa smiled shyly.

"What the hell?" Ask Sam.

"There's a secret." Answer Elsa.

"A woman only knows." Niken added. Hans and Sam just shook their heads at their behavior. Sam turned to Elsa.

"What...?" Sam went back to eating. 

I don't feel like time is passing. Niken and Hans had to return to Indonesia.

"Miss...?" Hans Served. Niken. "I love you." Said.

"I love you too." Reply Niken.

Niken leaning on Hans's boat. Loving Hans is a powerful alternative healing for him. With Hans, Niken felt safe.

Hans was never absent from Niken's consultation with Tanu. Accompanying Niken's therapy, made her very happy. Hans is like a sedative. The medicine of happiness.

The grand reunion held on campus made all alumni nostalgic including Niken and her 4th best friend. The event was grand and festive. The organizers of the event invited famous bands in Indonesia, namely Purple Band. All the alumni cheered happily.

"It's Naira and Aidan, it's Naina and Dev, Via and Arfand and Elsa and Sam." Niken introduced Hans to his best friend.

"She doesn't even need to be known." Hans Sahut.

"Girls, we're there yuk." Take Naina. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Reeya...?" A woman ran in front of five suns.

"Who is he?" Ask Naira.

"Reey. He's the former head of a book-loving organization." Answer Niken.

"You know?" Via nodded in disbelief.

"Know, he's been on a plane to Turkey. We had some communication, but first. Now it's not." Obviously Niken.

"Hey look, they're very familiar." Elsa pointed to her husband and her best friend's boyfriend.

"Cowok is that." Reply Niken.

"Ummm kangen lhooo. We're confiding in yuk." Take Naira.

"Ayoooo." Answer them together.
