He completed his education at the State University in Singapore majoring in English Literature. And now he works in his mother's company. His childhood had lived in Jakarta, but strangely he could not remember his childhood. The story begins, when meeting with a young man who works as an accountant in a large company in Jakarta. Close to the office Nadia works. The young man named Heli. Heli is known as an introverted figure. He lives in an apartment near Nadia's apartment. Apartment mewh that his mother gave him. Nadia is a person who is not good at cooking, at the first meeting she cooked together with Heli. 

           In the afternoon after finishing packing his apartment, Nadia decided to explore Jakarta. While remembering his dark past. He stood right in front of a gallery. With curiosity, he went in and visited the gallery. The first greeting he obtained from a gallery keeper. They also got acquainted. His name is Edo. After entering the gallery, Nadia scanned the entire gallery. Very quiet! There are no signs of life there. Then the gallery guard turned his hand towards a room. And apparently in that place the painter produces his works. The painter was not aware of Nadia's presence. Shortly, the painter turned towards Nadia. They looked at each other. But strangely, that look was not unfamiliar. Like never met. His name is Raffy. Nadia walked out of the room.

          And look at some of the finished paintings. He saw a name written under each painting. And 

again the writing is familiar. The next day, Nadia dressed up because today was her first day at work. 

He was introduced to all office members by Mrs. Venna. Then Nadia was in a group with Arina and

Shafa. Then there are those who do not like the presence of Nadia, namely Dian. Dian is a respected 

HRD employee because of her good performance. After that, Nadia returned to the gallery. And meet 

with Raffy. Nadia saw a painting of a child looking at the ocean. The theme is "The Missing Child". 

Nadia was interested in the painting. Then Raffy gave it for free. However, Nadia refused. Instead 

Nadia had to visit Raffy's gallery for two months and once a week had to accompany Raffy's dinner.

Point of View:

Better not to apply the system of Corruption, Collusion and Nepotism in a career. And don't spoil a child too much. And do not easily believe in people who are new.

Closing Statement:

This story teaches a lot about family. But, more dominant to romanticism. So, the suitable age to read this novel is a teenager or more than 17 years.
