“ yes I was assigned by bu Liza to pick up miss, introduce me steven miss.” The man introduced himself

“ Ohh so well, I mala” mala salami steve

“Let's miss, I help bring her barang2nya..I am ordered to help and accompany you during this miss stay in australia.” Steve explained his duties to mala

“Ok.ok” reply mala

Mala follows Steve to the car and takes them to a simple apartment not too big but looks very beautiful and homie (feels at home alone)

“Wow sangant comfortable and beautiful apartment, may be a good start for me.” Mala muttered

“Excuse me this lady barang2 miss I have dropped everything, is there anything I need to help again?” ask Steve's assistant

“Same miss, if it is not needed I'm sorry, and this is my business card, miss can contact me at the number if need my help.” Steve gave his card, Mala nodded and steve resigned.

After steve went to clean up the barang2nya tidying clothes, put book2 on the shelf and do not forget to put frame2 photos on the shelf...because it feels hungry when you walk into the kitchen and see the contents of the pantry that already has some food ingredients..mala also made a simple sandwich with egg stuffing smoked beef cheese and did not forget to add mayonnaise sauce sambal.

Mala enjoys a sandwich alone while taking a drink in the fridge and squeaks in excitement as there are rows of tea bottles of her favorite drink

“Ah I forgot to tell people home” mala rushed to pick up her phone and make a video call to jakarta

Tut....

“Diaannnn...I have arrived.I kangen you guys...you where, what's at home” mala yells when her video call is picked up by dian.

“Mala.you just left a few hours ago.” Answer the bell2 and turn the phone and tell mala where it is, seen bu liza and mama Moni are relaxed in the tv room

“Dear you have arrived, you like the apartment?”ask Liza

“It's so nice to aunt.it's so beautiful let alone there's this in the refrigerator” replied mala while showing the bottle tea bottle.

“Tante thanks also well I was given a handsome and deft assistant, hehehe..” mala chuckles.

“Sama2 dear, if need what2 you can trouble him yah”ucap bu Liza

“Darling you are good2 well there.keep yourself good2” mama Moni also talk.

“Iya ma..pokanya sorted.mama also good2 well at home, yaudah I am rest first well all.”call video call ended.

Mala finished her sandwich and drank the tea bottle until she had sipped her cigarette for a while then cleaned herself in the bathroom changing into a comfortable nightgown and laying herself on the bed...previously mala kissed the picture frame with the picture mala with his beloved person2

“Call me well all of you.hopefully I'm here, please,I love all of you” mala kissed the picture frame and put it on the table next to his bed then started to close his eyes and soon it was heard.

Bend day

Mala woke up in the morning2 once.Mala inhaled the air outside the balcony then maala walked to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee and enjoy it on the balcony of the apartment while sipping a cigarette, and listening to music through his mobile phone player.

“Goodlife song from fast and furious soundtrack”

After that, Mala prepares to go to RMIT university because the certification program will take place there. Arriving in front of the apartment was seen assistant steve standing next to the car and ready to deliver mala.

"Assistant steve, don't you have a girlfriend ?" ask Mala to open a conversation with steve

"hahaha miss.tante Liza gave me a lot of tasks where I could search even before." replied steve but did not continue the story.

" why did steve's assistant and you call him aunty, what was your relationship with aunt liza?" mala asked confused because steve's speech was cut off

"oh my niece is far away from om Adhi.om adhi has been taking care of me from childhood because my parents died in an accident" explained steve.

"i'm sorry steve's assistant for reminding you of your past" she felt sad to remember her father who was also gone.

"oia, why steve's assistant? " ask mala again

"ah I used to be close to beautiful women, but because om adhi forced me to continue the s2 program in Australia I was forced to leave it"

"wuahh glad you could open up with me" said Mala patting steve's shoulder

" haha yes lady, somehow I feel comfortable talking to miss, miss like my sister" replied steve

"we have arrived miss, this is RMIT, miss will go directly to the administration room to complete the file2 miss and later miss can contact me if it is finished later I pick up again, sorry I couldn't.accompanie into a coincidence today there's some work I have to finish first." steve explained..

"it's okay my assistant steve can be alone and another one doesn't need to call me ma'am assistant steve, just mala,ok😉" mala rolled her eyes and got out of the car.

"Looking at him I was like seeing my dead sister so innocently cheerful and a little fragile." muttered steve in the car, then continued to leave after seeing that mala had entered the building.

Mala re-lists and fills out some forms and then takes introductory classes, Mala got acquainted with some new friends from various countries because of the nature of the mala is supple and friendly then he is not too difficult to adapt. Mala was also happy because the friends she had just met were very friendly and kind, Mala felt a little comforted because of being away from people she loved.

Days change so quickly.days change weeks, weeks change months and today exactly 3 months are in Australia.

Today feels very heavy for mala because somehow today mala remembered about her hometown and orang2 she loved even had to think about Reo Reo's last treatment of her.

Mala looking for her phone and contact her best friend, every day she always calls her best friend and dear person2

Tut..tut...tut. (phone connection to dian ).

“ I can just go home in February dii, because there are some files completed in that month even though the program in January has finished” explained mala

“Ahh..you want to know how Mr Reo is doing?? He is just as frustrated since you lived, even he became the coldest man in the office never spoke and haughty” said dian

“Hah.I don't care, he is indeed too haughty and stiff” mala grunt

Meanwhile, at a club in Jakarta

“Re..re...your ego is too big.if kangen why don't you catch up with him, even to call you reluctant and torture yourself like this.”gumam ando geleng2 head saw the behavior of his best friend

In the car Reo listened to the song

There goes my heart beating

'Because you are the reason

I'm losing my sleep

Please come back now

There goes my mind racing

And you are the reason

That I'm still breathing

I'm hopeless now

I'd climb every mountain

Swim every ocean

Just to be with you

Fix what I've broken

Oh, 'cause I need you to see

That you are the reason

There goes my hands shaking

And you are the reason

My heart keeps bleeding

I need you now, oh

song from callum scot – you are the reason
