It didn't feel like Al had been at Davin's house for three months. His business dealings with Panji went smoothly, even with Marvin becoming closer and closer. If asked how about Davin, then the answer is Davin began to get used to the presence of Al. Every morning Al helped him bathe Marvin, after coming home from the office Al took the time to play and study with Marvin. Little Davin doesn't look lonely anymore. Davin realized that all this time Marvin did need a daddy figure. He is aware that he is selfish, but to return with Marchel certainly never crossed Davin's mind.
"Vin, can we talk?" pinta Al's
"ah, well we can go to the rear gazebo" Davin walked along with Al they sat in the gazebo while enjoying the afternoon air.
"what's Al?"
"Vin, the day after tomorrow I have to go back to Indonesia because my business is done here, before leaving I want to make sure of something"
"what?" ask Davin
"doesn't you feel a little bit about me?"
This is what Davin feared, Al must have expected more from their closeness all along. Three months is indeed a short time, Davin admitted that he is comfortable near Al, but the trauma of being in a relationship again haunts Davin.
"Al.a.a.a.ku..you know for yourself that if I am still afraid to establish a relationship, I am traumatized to reconnect with men" Davin replied honestly
"i know how you're worried, but answer honestly, don't you feel anything when you're with me?"
"em...Al, honestly I'm comfortable with you, but fear comes back to haunt me, I'm sorry, I can't"
Al sighed, at least Davin was getting used to and feeling comfortable while with him, that alone was enough to be the beginning of their relationship.
"well, I appreciate your decision, I hope someday you can open your heart to me" Al smiled sweetly making Davin tremble
"mommy" cried Marvin
"hey, is that hotshot mommy playing?"
"yes mommy"
"Marvin wants to study with uncle?, how was the school" Marvin has indeed started school since last week. Despite being only 4 years old, Marvin was an intelligent child, and he quickly caught what his teacher explained.
"of course uncle, I'm glad uncle, I have a lot of friends"
"well, Marvin is great, then Marvin must be diligent to study again so that Marvin gets good grades, let's learn"
"ayo" Marvin holds Al's hand into the house.
god, if I sinned against men as good as Al, Marvin loved him very much, they were like father and son, but this was still too soon, I was still afraid to be in a relationship again, he said, davin said in his heart.

Marchel does not stop looking for Davin's whereabouts, although he looks for a needle in a pile of chaff, Marchel does not despair. He's still trying, even he's been to Davin's parents' house, not the answer he got was the mockery of his former future father-in-law. Marchel is also looking for Davin in Amsterdam but still does not find his idol, Davin really shut all access to him and maybe there are people who help Davin in this. Marchel at a glance remembers his best friend Panji, he is one of the smart people in this field. He is also a good hacker. Unfortunately, Marchel doesn't know where he is now. Alfian did not seem to be in Indonesia, because several times Marchel contacted him always could not. When he was down like this, no friends would accompany him. Maybe this is the karma he has to accept for hurting a woman as good as Davin.
