"Hello, I've been waiting for you underneath your apartment."
Yudha had arrived in front of Gina's apartment to take her to state c
"All right wait a minute, I'll be right down" Gina turned off her phone and rushed down from her apartment to meet Yudha she's currently waiting for.
After a while Gina was seen coming out of her apartment building wearing sunglasses to cover her tearful, dark circles from crying and not sleeping all night. Gina looked a little limp and pale. Yudha that saw Gina walking closer to him started coming down from the car and approaching Gina.
"Are you all right?" Yudha asked with a soft voice and a concerned face
"Yes, I'm fine" she answered in a weak voice and insisted on smiling
"Are you sure we're leaving today? We can put off the trip" Yudha recommends heart-careful
"No need, we can leave now" Gina answered, shaking her head
"All right, let's get going."
Yudha grabbed the case that Gina had in her hand and stuffed it in the trunk. After that he opened the car door for Gina
"Are you really okay?"
Yudha tries to verify
"I'm perfectly all right. Maybe it's just not enough rest because I didn't sleep well last night. Anyway I can sleep again when we're on the plane"
"Alright then. We're leaving now"
Yudha also ran his car to the airport
"Did Hendri not go to the C country with us?"
"He'll catch up after the business in office is over."
"Is your relationship so close?"
"Yes, we grew up together. Besides being my assistant, he is also my cousin's brother"
Yudha explains with a sweet smile and head nod
"So apparently"
They travel towards the airport with occasional conversations. Until unnoticeably they have arrived at the airport they are heading to. Yudha helps carry Gina's suitcase and walks hand in hand towards a private jetliner of hers. Not many know Yudha in the country. Only a handful of people alone know the figure of this talented young business man, because Yudha doesn't particularly like to expose themselves. He is known for his enigmatic young business man among the media. But due to Yudha's overly intimidating handsomeness and attitude, they both take centre stage for airport visitors
"Waah handsome guy? Lucky once the girl next to him"
"True, he's very handsome and dashing. The way it goes looks really charming
Who is he huh? Is he a model or an actor? I don't want to turn my eyes away from him even if just to blink."
Yudha doesn't concern them at all. Whereas Gina walks downcast because she feels disproportionate to Yudha. Yudha who realized that Gina was walking with a little slow down and downcast, took her hand so they walked in hand. Gina is shocked by what Yudha does. He stares at Yudha's hand which is currently clasping his hand it long enough
"This hand, this hand is the hand of the man who has reached out to help me. The hand that brought me out of darkness and protected me from the rush of rainwater. Hands that make me feel comfortable and so calm" said Gina inwardly then smiled
They also finally arrived on Yudha's private jet. Their suitcases were brought by Yudha's men. Dan Yudha holds Gina's hand to help her get on the plane
"Watch your steps" he told Gina. They both boarded the plane with 1 pilot, 1 co pilot and 2 flight attendants accompanying their trip.
It takes as long as a few hours journey for them to arrive in country C
"Close your eyes and try to sleep. You look so tired"
"I don't want to sleep. Because when I close my eyes, then all those nightmares will come to me and no one can help me" Gina's face looks so sad
"Calm down, I'm here. I'm not going to let you have nightmares again. So you can rest"
At first Gina does not want to sleep however Yudha manages to convince her to stay asleep. Yudha blanketed Gina and changed the position of the chair to be slightly supine for her to feel comfortable. Gina continues to clasp Yudha's hand very tightly as long as she falls asleep. Yudha continues to look at Gina's face
"Are you so afraid to close your eyes? What makes you become so scared like that? I want to know everything about you, but I don't want to go back to scrawling your fours. I'll find out for myself what you actually have experienced"
Gina wakes from her sleep after an hour trip
"You're awake?" asked Yudha who was in the middle of reading a book about business
"Hmm"
Gina simply replied with a head nod
"Have you felt better?"
"Yes, I think so"
"Eat something first"
Yudha thrusts chocolate strawberry cake on Gina
"Thank you"
Gina accepts it and starts eating it
"Our journey will still take about 2 hours to arrive in country C. Then we go straight to your house as soon as we get there"
"All right, you can arrange everything"
Gina smiles softly. This is the first smile that looks sincere and beautiful from Gina, Yudha until it is made
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there a cake stuck to my face?" asked Gina while fingering her own face
"Nothing. Looks like you really like cookies?" Yudha smiles thinly
"Yes, sweet cookies make me feel calm. Until I can forget the bitterness I feel"
"What's the connection? It's just a theory you make yourself as self-defense. Maybe chocolate can indeed make the mind more relaxed, but if it's for a cake that keeps calm I don't think that's at all true" Yudha said in a slightly mocking tone of Gina
"It's up to you that obviously I feel so" Gina turned the face away from Yudha and came back to focus with the cake she was in her hands
After travelling time for almost 3 hours. Eventually they arrive at the international airport of state C, Satya is also one of Yudha's assistants, he has been waiting for him at the airport. He approached and welcomed Yudha
"Welcome back sir! Let me bring you your stuff"
"Thank you. How are the conditions here?"
They walked out of the airport and headed for the car park while having a little conversation
"Everything is safely under control and so far there are no problems" he says explaining casually
"Good then"
"Do we go straight home to the main house?" ask him after they ride in the car
"No, we will visit Dirga Sanjaya's grandfather's residence first"
"Fine, sir!"
The car drove to the arak of Sanjaya's residence. Gina's face looks pleased when Yudha says she will be home to her grandfather.
"Why are you smiling – such a smile?" asked Yudha while tilting eyes
"I feel so happy to be back visiting grandpa's house. Because I didn't come here long enough. I've been impatient!" says Gina enthusiastically
"calm down, in a minute you will meet your family"
