Yadi Buwono; Nature scientist need to make a choice. This Indonesian-Java male just got exclusive invitation card this morning. The invitation made from an expensive paper covered by black purple silk. It's delivered by a motor courier. Inside the invitation, there's a hotel address for the convention.
KRING!!! Telephone sound can be heard inside Yadi house, loud and clear. Walk a few steps, this man picks up the phone that continues ringing and placed on the wall. Bored, Yadi knows exactly who call him now.
"Hello.," said Yadi, answering the phone.
"Yadi, this is your mom!" said the woman on the phone.
"Yes, Mom, how are you?" Yadi tried to sound cheerful.
"Are you gonna come back this year-end holiday? There's someone I wanna introduce to you." His mom sounds cheerful as usual.
Yadi rolled his eyes, his mom always tried to introduce some woman for him. His mom never tried to understand how busy his life is. Yadi already tried to understand his mom wish to make him married. Because he wants to make his mom happy, at 28 Yadi already married five times, all failed to compare to his busy life. Looking at the invitation, Yadi suddenly got an idea to escape from his mom poisonous charm.
"Mom, sorry! I already had plans for the holiday."
"You had plans? With who? Did I know who?
"No, mom. You don't know, it's my work colleague." explain Yadi.
"From work? Yadi, why on holiday you still with your work colleague? You should enjoy the holiday with your family!"
"Mom, two days ago I just enjoying time with family. I can't always priorities family, right. I should have my own time and plans. I'm not children anymore. You don't need to worry about me."
"Okay, if you don't want to come, no big deal. But, never said that to me. How can as a mother, I'm not worried about my youngest son that choose to work in the different city just to be a scientist?!"
"Mom, I love you, you know that, right?" Yadi tried to appease his mom.
"Yea, I know. Okay, I'm not gonna waste your golden time anymore. Don't forget to see me later!"
"Sure.."
Feels better, Yadi closes the phone. He walking to the computer, next to the phone. He needs to send a reply to confirm that he gonna come for the invitation. Yadi just needs to spend few minutes to send a reply and confirm his arrival for the meeting later.
"Fiuh, all done."
Yadi looks the email he sent. Not long, a reply came.
'We like to thank you for accepting our invitation. We will be waiting for your arrival.'
Reading the reply, Yadi smiling. He needs to packs now. He gonna attend the biggest meeting with all experts around the world.

He needs to find a replacement for his spot. But, who?!
Thinking for a while, he thought of someone.
Smiling, he starts to pick the phone. He needs to find him.
