Christian's departure had been a year, but did not leave Cherry desperate to wait for his return, on that night Cherry who as usual sat in the backyard of his house while looking at the flowers that adorn his yard, his home, the flowers increasingly filled the yard because Cherry had always been planting flowers to spend her time, actually what Cherry did was because she felt a deep longing for her husband who had left her for a year

"Christian, do you know for a year I've always kept these flowers, because these are all gifts from you, I don't want them to wither, I want them to always bloom, I want them to always bloom, just as my feelings for you are forever immortal, I also planted some herbs, so that I could treat our brothers if they were sick or in need of medicine, this is how I spend my time every day, she said, planting flowers and herbs, and playing with Aaron and teaching him to write and read, actually all this time I've been hoping you'll come home." said Cherry who while looking at the colorful flowers that adorn the yard

Cherry looked out at the ocean

"Where are you? and what about you there? do you miss me and Aaron? if you still come home, I'll always be waiting for you, Christian" Cherry said

"Lord, please show me the way so that he can come home, all this time I've been waiting for him every time, I've always been sure that he's still alive, if he has trouble help him so that he can come back soon and gather with us" said Cherry who looked up at the sky with tears

"Christian, I often see the stars in the sky flashing, I don't want it to be you, because what I want is you, for a year I felt your presence by my side therefore I'm sure you're still alive" Cherry muttered

Cherry who was sad and wiped her tears then she looked across the island, a Villa that was not so clear because the distance was too far

"Sound! for a year why did the lights keep flashing? every night the lights would flash without stopping, who lives there really?"murmured Cherry who was looking at the lamp across there

After a few minutes, Cherry returned to her room, feeling drowsy and sleeping without a blanket

Next day

Wall clock shows at 6 am

"It seems like I sleep well, it's strange why every night I feel warm, so sleep until morning" murmured Cherry who got up from her sleep and sat on the bed leaning back

"Cute? didn't I not use a blanket last night? why can..? maybe papa came into my room last night" Cherry murmured

Living room

"Anton, do you know who owns the house across the island?" ask Cherry who pointed towards the front island

"No! what's wrong, madam?" ask Anton

"I was just curious, every night the lights would flicker without stopping" Cherry replied

"Maybe the lights were made like this"

"really? have you never met the man?" ask Cherry curiously

"I've never been there, madam, and it's a long way from here"

"Mama..Mama" cried Aaron who approached Cherry

"Aaron baby, what's up?" ask Cherry by holding her son

"Mama, last night Aaron saw papa coming home" said Aaron

"See papa's coming home?" ask Cherry curiously

"Yes, papa kissed me on the cheek and said good night, and then you left again" Aaron replied

"There's no way Mama, Aaron is still talking to papa, papa says he's going home after his business is done" Aaron explained

"It turns out that's the case, so did you tell me where you lived?"

"Nothing, Ma. papa just kissed me on the cheek and then it's gone and Aaron's asleep, because papa says if Aaron doesn't sleep then papa doesn't love Aaron anymore" Aaron replied

"What's going on? there's no way Aaron's lying, and if Christian comes home, why doesn't he see me, and why is he leaving again?" inner Cherry

"Aaron saw papa's face?'

"There's no Ma, Aaron's room doesn't turn on the lights"

"So why would Aaron know if he's your father?" ask Cherry curiously

"The voice is similar to papa, and the touch of his hand is also the same as papa, very warm and comfortable" replied Aaron who was in Cherry's sling

"Mama..Mama, Aaron has promised that he will not cry anymore, and diligently learn to write and read so that Aaron is smart, so Aaron studied first, Ma. quickly put Aaron down" said Aaron

"Well, Mama's smart son, your papa must be proud of you" Cherry said by kissing her son's cheek

After Aaron ran to his room Cherry felt strange with every word of his son

"Anton, did you hear that, Aaron said that if Christian had gone home, would it be true?" asked Cherry curiously

"It is possible that the young master is dreaming, because all this time the young master misses the boss very much, therefore the young master is carried away by a dream" explained Anton

"Can it really happen like this?"

"Madam, it is possible, for a year the young master is always waiting for the return of the boss, even to the point of crying, he said, and it could be when the young master is sleeping the young master is carried away with a dream so that he thinks his dream is real" explained Anton

"I also hope it's real, if Christian is alive then where is he, and why isn't he coming home? is he in trouble or is he hurt? and if he's hurt who's taking care of him?" cherry said with great concern

"Madam, don't think this will only hurt you"

"Anton, he must be hurt, right? I'm sure he's still alive if he's okay there's no way he's not coming home, but where is he?"

"Madam, according to your orders all our brothers have searched every place, all our brothers use speedboats looking to all places connected to the ocean, even to all the islands, he said, and the forests on the island we have also been looking for. Madam, forget it." said Anton

"Forgetit? Anton, what do you mean you want me to forget?"

"Madam, the boss also does not want to see the Madam sad continuously, if the boss is still alive we must have got it, but this has been a year"

"When it's been a year but that doesn't mean I should forget him, a year doesn't mean anything compared to when he took care of me for almost four years, I'll keep waiting for him until he comes back" Cherry said firmly

"What if the boss doesn't come back?"

"As long as we don't find his body I'm sure he's alive, and I'll be faithful to wait for him even if it's 5 years or 10 years, I'll wait until he shows up in front of me" replied Cherry firmly and then stepped away towards her room

"If the boss hears it, it will be sad. Sorry, I can't make the lady forget you, she still insists on waiting for your return, me and Thomas have even advised her on your orders, but the madam hasn't heard it" said Anton
