Conrad, Ricia, Nila and Leandra having their meal. Hot soup is on their table. Ricia notice Leandra sulking, she don't even touch her food.

"Leandra, is anything wrong?" Conrad asked.

"What happened to you last time?" Ricia asked.

"Nothing.. I'm only having a bad dream." Leandra answered.

"I'm the one who cooked that, taste it." Ricia said.

Leandra slowly sip on her bowl.

"Is it taste good?"

Leandra nodded.

"Leandra, after we eat, can we go outside and have some walk?"

"I want to.. But your mother needs my help in the household chore."

"It's ok Leandra.. You know? I appreciate you for being hardworking. Why shouldn't you relax sometimes." Ricia said.

"Do you hear that Leandra?" Nila looked at Leandra.

"Thank you.."

Leandra and Nila walk in the peaceful and fertile land, cool wind touching her angelic face, blowing her yellow hair away. Leandra closed her eyes, feel the cool wind, the scent of the nature and the whisper of the wind.

"How beautiful this place is.. I'm sure Chou will love this place if he's here."

"Chou? Who's Chou?" Nila asked.

"huh? Ahhm.. Nothing, just don't mind it." Leandra said.

"I hear what you said, you mention someone named Chou.. Who's that?"

Leandra shut her mouth and looked on the other direction.

"Tell me who's that Chou.. Please.."

"Ok.. Ok.."

Leandra and Nila sat on the grass.

"Who's Chou?"

"Chou is the man who become my refuge, my protector, my friend, until he becomes the reason why I feel this strange feelings I never felt before."

"Really? Where is he now?"

"You little one is so curious about it.. You're so young for this matter." Leandra said. "Just enjoy yourself being young.. Someday you'll understand about this."

"Leandra.."

"Yes Nila?"

"I hope we will be friends and sisters forever.. I wish all of this won't come to an end." Nila said.

Leandra become so quite and serious this time.

"I can't tell if I will be by your side all time, but whether the destiny separate us, I'll stay with you. There." Leandra put her hand on Nila's chest.

"I don't want to lose you Leandra, you're the best sister and friend I ever had."

"And you're one the best gift I recieved in my life Nila. Your special to me." Leandra touch her face then embrace her.

Conrad is ready to leave, bringing with him all things he need.

"Take care darling.."

"Thank you darling.. Where's the kids?" Conrad asked.

"They're just nearby, Nila took Leandra for a walk."

"You know? Since that maiden come to our life, our house become more colorful than before." Conrad said.

"Indeed.. And not just that, Nila have a big sister and a friend."

"Well, I need to go." Conrad left.
