"Are you sure you'll get better? You'd better stay here, Vin. Please don't go." Abel touched Kevin's hand. Holding Kevin who was cleaning all his clothes. Kevin turned to look at Abel with a look of disapproval. His eyes looked at Abel so sharply. Kevin pulled his arm forcefully.
"You want me not to meet him, huh?! Who do you think you are, forbid me to go and forbid me to recover?!" Unexpectedly, Kevin stood up from his seat. Shouting Abel's name in anger. With a feeling of panic, Abel also stood up trying to calm Kevin. Abel was getting scared. Looks like he's misunderstood.
"That's not what I meant, Vin. I just wanted to.."
"Shut up!! Go!!" Kevin shouted again in front of Abel's face while spreading one hand up. Her face was already red. His jaw clenched tightly.
"But.. kevin.." Abel was scared. His mouth opened and closed.
"Aarrghh!! Get out!!" Kevin took all the things that were not far from his reach and threw them in any direction while shouting. Abel couldn't help but cry seeing him like this.
"Abel, what's wrong?"
Miss Rinda suddenly entered Kevin's room. Then tried to grab Kevin's body so he could calm down. Abel could only stand there watching this incident. The pain was getting worse when Kevin's body slumped to the floor and Miss Rinda hugged him while crying. While Kevin tried to hug Miss Rinda for protection. He looked so very scared. His body shook violently.
"Mom, get that woman out of here. Don't let her into our house!!" How hurt Abel heard that sentence. Abel knows, Kevin doesn't remember it. But why did Kevin have to throw him out too.
"Abel, please. Please get out of here."
Abel, who couldn't do anything, could only drag his stumbling steps out of this room, crying because he was concerned about Kevin's deteriorating condition. Even the man had the heart to throw Abel out of his house. Okay, he just doesn't remember the girl.

Tebet Raya Street
No. 45
Miss Rinda stared at the brown envelope lying on the glass table. His hand reached out to take the envelope to open. His chest hurt as soon as he tried to see a sheet of white paper from inside the envelope.
Galih Hutapea. The lawyer for the divorce suit and the crime committed by her ex-husband against his biological child. Submit the divorce papers. This is the end of everything. 22 years of marriage ended tragically. But this is exactly what he wanted from the start. Farewell. His face was blank and there was no light. The light has disappeared in time. Now sadness is taking over him. He must immediately leave Jakarta with Kevin, to start a new life there. Malaysia.
Jakarta, it was enough to hurt his heart.
"Thank you, sir, for all your help so far." Miss Rinda said, so very quietly.
"No problem, I'm happy to be able to defend you in court, and win this case."
Miss Rinda smiled bitterly. The man she thought would be her life partner for the rest of her life turned out to be the biggest enemy in her life. Now the man has been in prison for a long time. Let him feel the consequences of his actions.

All ready. Kevin's clothes were already in the suitcase. Miss Rinda's clothes are ready. They don't carry a lot of luggage. Save on airplane baggage, so as not to add to the cost. Yes, Miss Rinda doesn't have much money. But enough for the two of them to live in Malaysia.
Miss Rinda's relatives are ready to accommodate them there. At least until Kevin recovers and miss Rinda gets a job. It is difficult indeed, but the 48-year-old woman is still grateful to have friends who are willing to help so far.
"Kevin, are you ready?"
Miss Rinda poked her head behind Kevin's bedroom door. He saw his son standing facing the iron-covered glass window. In her hands she holds an old photo frame of her family when she was a child. Her mother was standing behind her smiling behind her dark glasses. Then he stood up with a shocked face because of the giraffe's neck that was sticking out towards him. And lastly, his father. Standing very strong. As if protecting him and his mother from all kinds of harm. A husband who deserves it. But, all that is no longer real. The joy of childhood is gone.
"Come on, we're already late." Said miss Rinda who is currently standing next to Kevin. "Just keep it." Miss Rinda took the photo frame from Kevin's hand, then put it on the nightstand upside down. It was as if he and his family didn't want to see a portrait of him.
Kevin drew a thin line on his lips. Then wrapped his arms around his mother's shoulders. Started walking outside while dragging a large suitcase.
He would soon leave everything. No residue. However, something seemed to be missing, but Kevin didn't know what it was. That something was still stuck in his mind, and it hurt in his head as he tried to remember.

Soekarno Hatta Airport
Abel almost ran because the plane that would take Kevin and miss Rinda to Malaysia would depart soon. If it wasn't for her habit of always getting up late, maybe she wouldn't be so panicked. Today is life and death. The day Abel would witness the departure of Kevin who did not know when he would return.
Abel is still looking for the whereabouts of Kevin and Miss Rinda. As soon as Kevin's figure was in sight, the girl immediately ran over.
"Miss Rinda." Call Abel. Miss Rinda got up and hugged Abel. Abel returned Miss Rinda's hug which he might not be able to feel again, while Kevin just looked at Abel indifferently then looked away as if he didn't want to see Abel's face. Oh my God, this is the last day Abel will meet Kevin, but why is the situation like this.
"So, when are you guys going back to Jakarta?"
"It is uncertain when we will return, after my divorce from Kevin's father, I decided to go away from his life. And also take care of Kevin to get well soon."
"Yes, I understand. But I beg you when Kevin gets better, please tell him that I'm waiting for him."
"That's for sure, Bel. One of the reasons Kevin agreed to our move to Malaysia was to get well soon so I could see you. But I can't decide when." Abel took a deep breath and then looked at Kevin who still didn't see him at all.
"Kevin."
Kevin looked away for a moment but immediately looked away again.
"I know you're mad at me. But please listen to me." Kevin was still unmoved. It's up to you. "Maybe it will take a long time for us to meet again. You and I will never know when we will meet again. I don't expect much from you, but hopefully God can bring us back no matter what and whatever the circumstances. I will always pray for your recovery. Now, you may forget who I am. But I believe, one day you will remember me. And that's when you will come back to me."
Abel paused for a moment. His gaze fell on the moss green sweater Kevin was wearing. The sweater she gave him as Kevin's birthday present. Abel moistened his throat with difficulty. His voice was shaking too. Abel felt his face heat up and was probably red by now from holding back the tears that were pressing out. Kevin still didn't look at Abel.
Then Miss Rinda immediately approached Kevin, then touched Kevin's shoulders and ordered his son to look at Abel. Finally, with a little coercion from Miss Rinda, Kevin looked at Abel with a lazy face. A pair of Kevin's eyes glared at Abel's eyes sharply. Those eyes Abel will never forget forever.
"Hear!" Kevin said with a sharp tone and full of emphasis. "You are completely unimportant in my life. You are not the first person I will looking for if my memory turn back. Don't self confident!"
Abel's eyes went wide. This was more painful than her having to wait for it all his life. Nothing hurts more than Kevin not wanting to see her again. Slowly Kevin left Abel along with her destruction. Abel felt herself so very messy because of Kevin. her heart was in turmoil as Kevin's back disappeared from her sight.
As of today there is no Kevin, no his jokes and no deafening ramblings. This time Kevin really will be far from her. The airport, which should be a romantic place to express love. Precisely for Abel, the airport has become a terrible place to say goodbye. Kevin left with hatred for himself. Abel doesn't know what life would be like without Kevin in it. How much time must he spend to forget Kevin.
