Apparently, Abigail took Marina to a hotel, not far from it in her car. On the 1st floor there is a Chinese restaurant that visitors began to visit. He then chose a table near the entrance.


"Marina. Just order. What do you want?"


"Eh, yes." The woman looked through the menu book.


Abigail ordered some side dishes plus Marina's order. When it came, the table started to fill up.


"Well, Brother. So many orders. How do I spend it?"


"Oh, later if the rest can be taken home anyway."


"Oh, so."


"Let's just take her home?"


"Oh, me?"


"Yes." Yeah."


"Eh, thank you, brother." Marina nodded her head.


Abigail was actually sorry to see that woman's body that had been getting thinner lately. His face began to thin and slightly pale. His eye bags are also getting dark. He was afraid that the woman was again exhausted and fainted inside her apartment, where, no one knew.


Marina eats well. He loves the cooking there. "Enak Sis."


Abigail smiled. She had seen the woman's face without a smile other than when taking care of her baby and she was worried. Now the smile came back on the thick lips of the woman.


"Yes, let's eat, eat. If there's anything to add, just say."


"Ih, Brother. This isn't necessarily over." Marina spoke while covering her mouth as it was full.


The man smiled. He became the spirit of eating too, because some days it is difficult to eat. Moreover, meeting and eating with the woman he had missed so far.


While eating, he thought of something. "Eh, Marina, sorry. You said you didn't have much money. Didn't your ex-husband give you money? Uh, I'm sorry I'm so presumptuous, but are you living in an apartment?"


Marina put down her spoon and lowered her head. "That's right, brother. I live in an apartment, but I'm actually single, sister. Never been married."


"Lho, but this baby?" Abigail pointed at the baby in a sling in front of Marina's body. "What is this .. sorry, 'accident'?"


Marina raised her face. "Oh, no, no. It's someone's seat."


"Oh, so." Abigail breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the woman's face. "You could've worked with me at the office. Especially if you have a diploma or supportive experience, but what about the baby? Who's gonna take care of it?"


"That's, Brother. I'm rattled. Did I just go home, brother?"


Abigail panicked. It would be hard to meet that woman. "Eh, no, no, no."


"Mmh?" The woman's eyeballs were like questioning the man's reaction just now.


"Eh, I mean, don't .. give up, so." The man laughed a little which sounded strange. "Eh, just give this baby back to her mother. Tell me you can't, so you can work with me."


"The thing is I don't know, where this baby's mother lives."


"Lho, why is that? You're not being cheated on by him? Don't you know the guy?" Abigail looked confused at Marina's story.


"That's the problem. I was busy thinking about my writing, suddenly a woman came to leave her baby to me. I agreed because I thought she wanted to go to the toilet, but after a long wait, she didn't show up. I waited for him for hours. I was in a cafe out of town."


Abigail flabbergasted. "At the top?" The sentence just slid from the man's mouth, as he felt sure with a suspicion.


"That's in the toll area heading to the top. I'm saving money so I can just walk all the way there."


The man's throat felt choked. "Bo-can I see that baby?" He spoke stammeringly with his heart racing. He sat down next to Marina.


Still amazed to see the man's behavior whose face looks pale, he pulled the baby out of the sling. "By, Brother. What's up?"


"Did she have a mole in ...."


"Back of ear" said the two together.


The man with trembling hands took the baby from the woman's hands. He was moved to tears.


Abigail recognized her son even though now his body is a little contained. He can not forget the face of the baby who continues to shadow him after a long time lost from sight. "Because he's my son" he said in a trembling voice.


Marina closed her open mouth in surprise. "Is this the big brother?"


"Yes." Yeah." Abigail tried to reassure herself by examining the mark behind the baby's left ear and it was true that there was a mark.


The baby was disturbed until he woke up because the man touched the back of his ear. The baby is crying.


Abigail hugged him. "It's Papa, honey."


The restaurant guests who were around them were a little disturbed by the baby's cries but Abigail did not care.


"But didn't Brother say that Sister's wife died with her baby?"


"Oh no. My wife did die but the baby's gone." Abigail shook the baby's body to stop crying.


Flabbergasted marina. "The baby was kidnapped, you mean Brother? Brother robbed? Then I met the kidnapper, huh?"


Marina's delusion, made Abigail smile. "It's not so." Then his face came back sad. "Mmh, she ran away from home carrying our baby and she ...." The man tried to take a breath to explain the next story. "Founded suicide plunge from the top floor of a multi-storey building." Her tears are flowing.


Marina was quite shocked to hear the man's story but she quickly responded by picking up a tissue and gently wiping the man's tears. He heard how the man lost his wife and son.


Abigail stared at Marina. "The baby's gone and it's been trying to find the location where my wife died but it's not found." His face was so pitiful that he told Marina everything.


Marina wiped the man's tears back.


"Thank you, Marina. You've taken care of our son. My wife didn't waste it on you."


Marina smiled broadly.


Abigail looked back at the baby. The baby is no longer crying. He was looking at his father's face.


"Farrell. You still remember Papa, don't you?" Abigail smiled.


"Oh, his name is Farrel. I'm sorry I had to give him Farhan's name."


"It's okay. 'Now you know his name."


The woman nodded and smiled back.


Abigail wiped her own tears while laughing lightly. "My face is ugly, I'm crying."


"It's okay, Brother. 'Can cry happily, '" said the woman with her trademark smile. The smile that diverted the man's world. There was no end to admiring this woman's face. "Then my job is done. I've returned the baby to the rightful. Maybe it's time I moved on."


"E, uh, where did you move, Marina?" Abigail panicked.


Marina scratched the tip of her head. "Of course."


"Help me, Marina. You take care of this baby. I can't take care of the baby."


"About? You can hire a babysitter."


"But no one is as dear as you are to Farrel. Don't you love Farrel?" Abigail showed the baby to the woman. He was trying to persuade her.


Marina glanced at the baby. "Darling the hell ...."


"Then, I hired you as babysitter Farrel. You want that job, right?"
