How to be patient for having someone leaving you in a relationship

Agsya, Sury's son, is leaving for Bekasi this morning. His father is taking him. For two weeks starting from today, he will have a vacation after examination from school. And I will also go to Lamongan, my home town for about 10 days on 30 December to see my mother and to attend the wedding party of my best friend Ahmad Habibi. Leaving is always hard. Everybody doesn't like being apart. Also read: Editing photos taken from mobile phone in Photoshop like a pro.

Upon Agsya's leaving, I will spend my days without him. Only Sury and I will stay in the house--no more laughs and funny jokes from the nine-year-old boy. I have to be strong and patient for this solitary, well, at least for 20 days. Sury and I have been in a relationship for almost three years now, and her son, to me, is like my own son. I know she's older and much maturer than I am, but she never shows any dominance. After Agsya's leaving today and after my leaving for 10 days in January, Sury and I will go back to the previous time, the time when we texted on Wechat, uploaded photos on WhatsApp and sent each other's voice message on Kakaotalk.

Agsya is a cry baby. When I tease him, he will punch me and burst into crying in just a couple of seconds. Because of the frequent cries, I understand some simple steps to make kids stop crying and start smiling.

He likes eating satay, watching movies on our laptop, and window-shopping in Artha Gading Mall in North Jakarta. Agsya plays offline and online games from his Advan, a 7-inch tablet, which her mother bought about four months ago.

In Lamongan, I plan to phone or video-call him when he gets back from Bekasi. Her mother, in a satay seller, taught us how to deal with rainy season in Jakarta, Indonesia's capital city, and we got wet. Our clothes and bags and body felt cold that night, but it was such a romantic night. I love you both.
