Universitas Sorbonne Perancis telahmenghantarkan mereka pada pertemuan dan persahabatan dengan mahasiswa dari berbagai belahan dunia dengan beragam latar belakang.
Keindahan benua Eropa dan gemerlapnya dunia malam kota Paris memberikan daya tarik tersendiri bagi iapapun yang melihatnya, namun tradisi dan etika back packer Kanada sangat menarik perhatian Ikal bahkan lebih menarik disbanding Katya yaitu mahasiswi Jerman yang menolak cinta banyak pemuda tetapi  lebih memilih Ikal.

Kerinduan Ikal pada A Ling, perempuan masa kecil yang sangat dicintainya telah membawa kembali ingatannya tentang Edensor. Sebuah desa khayalan pada sebuah novel pemberian A Ling, karya Harriot yang berjudul “Seandainya Mereka Bisa Bicara”.

Everything Has Changed -Taylor Swift-

Everything Has Changed

All I knew this morning when I woke
Is I know something now, know something now I didn't before
And all I've seen since eighteen hours ago is green eyes and freckles 
And your smile in the back of my mind making me feel like
I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you, know you, know you

'Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

And all my walls stood tall painted blue
But I'll take 'em down, take 'em down and open up the door for you

And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies the beautiful kind
Making up for lost time, taking flight, making me feel like

I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you, know you, know you

'Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

Come back and tell me why
I'm feeling like I've missed you all this time
And meet me there tonight
And let me know that it's not all in my mind

I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you, know you, know you

All I know is we said hello
Your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed
All I know is he held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

All I know is we said hello
So dust off your highest hopes
All I know is pouring rain
And everything has changed
All I know is a new found grace
All my days, I'll know your face
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

When You're Gone -Avril Lavigne-

When You're Gone
I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side


When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?


When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too


When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through
The day and make it ok
I miss you


I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do


When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?


When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too


And when you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through
The day and make it ok
I miss you


We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah


And all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah


When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too


And when you're gone
All the words I need to hear will always get me through
The day and make it ok
I miss you

Billionaire -Bruno Mars-

 Billionaire

I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin' bad
Aku ingin menjadi seorang milyarder, sangat ingin
Buy all of the things I never had
Membeli barang-barang yang tak pernah kumiliki
I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Aku ingin muncul di sampul majalah Forbes
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
Tersenyum di samping Oprah dan sang Ratu

[Chorus]
Oh every time I close my eyes
Oh tiap kali kututup mataku
I see my name in shiny lights
Kulihat namaku berkilauan
Yeah, a different city every night
Yeah, (mengunjungi) kota berbeda tiap malam
Oh I - I swear, the world better prepare for when I'm a billionaire
Oh aku - aku bersumpah, sebaiknya dunia bersiap-siap menyambutku menjadi milyarder

Berikan Travie daftar permintaan
I'd probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt
Mungkin aku akan meniru Angelina dan Brad Pitt
And adopt a bunch of babies that ain't never had shit
Dan mengadopsi beberapa bayi yang tak pernah punya orang tua

Give away a few Mercedes like "here lady, have this",
Membagikan beberapa Mercedes seperti "ini gadis, untukmu,"
And last but not least grant somebody their last wish
Dan yang terakhir namun tak kalah penting mengabulkan permintaan terakhir seseorang

Sudah beberapa bulan sejak aku punya single jadi
You can call me Travie Claus minus the Ho Ho

Everywhere I go Imma have my own theme music
Kemanapun aku pergi aku akan diiringi musik temaku sendiri
