"Mother?" rafa looked at the woman in front of him.

"Dear this is mom, Rafa can see mom?" reply Luna with teary eyes.

"How much do you see this?" ask the doctor to Rafa with two fingers.

"Two" answered Rafa.

"If this?"

"Five" replied Rafa again.

"Alhamdulillah, your son can already see normally, ma'am," the doctor told Luna.

"Thank God, thank you doctor" replied Luna.

"Rafa what do you feel after being able to see, is anyone sick?" ask the doctor to Rafa.

"No doc, no one is sick" Rafa replied with a sweet smile.

"Look, our child can see what you ordered, you must be happy there," Luna looked at Rafa with a smile hiding her sadness.

"Mother, what father?" asked Rafa arrived to make Luna confused about what to answer.

"Oh my God, what shall I answer?" luna was confused.

"Rafi, what father?" rafa asked moved to ask Rafi for not answering her question earlier.

"Emmm.. you should have a lot of rest first, later so you can recover quickly and can enter the same school salary as me," replied Rafi divert the conversation.

"Yes right said Rafi, you have to rest a lot you just finished the operation" Luna agreed.

Doctors who understand the situation also support the mother and child's speech.

"True, Rafa must rest first, later to recover quickly," agreed the doctor who handles Rafa's eye surgery.

"Well doc," replied Rafa obediently, although in his heart still asked where his father was.

Rafa recalls, before he was in surgery he had an accident with his father, and after that he no longer knew how his father was doing.

Rafa really hopes to see and embrace his father again because now his father can accept him, especially since he can see for sure his father will love him more.

Rafa will also work hard again so that he can get more achievements and make his mother and father even more proud of him.

"Yes, now you rest yes, same mother Rafi will take care of you here" said Luna stroking Rafa's hair.

"Later if I go home will bring a lot of toys for us to play here so that you are not bored," said Rafi and berbuki Rafa who has been lying down.

Rafa began to close his eyes, he went straight to sleep despite the many questions he wanted to ask.

"Mother, how are we gonna tell Rafa that I don't really exist?" rafi asked after they came out of Rafa's ward.

"Mother doesn't know, either, son," Luna replies holding Rafi in the waiting room.

"What are you doing there?" rafi asked suddenly remembered his father.

"We pray yes, if we miss our father doain father from here, let the father be proud of Rafi," reply Luna invites Rafi to pray and dibuguki by Rafi.

They both went to the mosque in the hospital and prayed.

"Mas," said Luna when entering the room that Ruli was in.

"Darling, I apologize to you for not being able to be a good husband and father to you and your children, especially to Rafa," said Ruli in a very weak voice.

"No mas, mas Ruli is a great husband and father for me and children, we are proud to have a mas," replied Luna with tears that had wanted to come out.

Luna could not help but cry again to see Ruli's condition was very severe, the legs were bandaged, and the wounds on her hands and face were very severe.

Moreover, the bleeding that was on his head that had been wrapped in bandages made Luna feel the pain that Ruli suffered.

"Darling you can order something with you?" asked Ruli looking at Luna.

"Emang want to order what, I save enegi mas to stay strong, mas do not talk strangely," replied Luna.

Ruli shook her head, "Mas seems to be a long time ago baby, later if there is no help to love both eyes for Rafa, so that he can see like his friend," said Ruli.

"So, I can't say that, I have to be strong, I have to hold on for me and the kids, the three of us still need the mas." Luna shook her head not liking what Ruli said, and her tears also came out profusely.

"Mas said hello to Rafa yes, told him that his father loved him very much, and Rafi also. Tell them both if they have to love each other and look after each other until later," continued Ruli.

"Stop mas, mas can not talk like that, Rafa still needs you, Rafi also still needs you, you must be strong, you must be able to get through this all the same we mas," denied Luna.

"Sorry baby, the head is very sick, I love you, sorry if I have a lot wrong with you, I love you Luna and the child, go take good care of yourself and your child,"

"AGGRR.." erang Ruli was in pain in her head.

"Mas, you have to be strong, you have to be strong,"

"DOCTOR, NURSE PLEASE," cried Luna calling the doctor.

The doctor and nurse ran into Ruli's room and they immediately took action for Ruli.

Luna was told to come out and her crying immediately broke in Rafi's arms.

"Mother why's dad?" asked Rafi who did not understand the commotion that was in front of her.

"Father sick son, father sick hyks," replied Luna crying.

"Dad must be healed, Mom, dad must be back with us, right, Mom?"

"Dear, we pray for you so that you can get through all of this, yes" replied Luna and nodded to Rafi.

They both hugged in front of Ruli's room, and soon the doctor came out and followed several sisters behind him.

"Dok, how's my husband doing, doc?" ask Luna.

"Sorry Mom, we've tried our best, but God willed otherwise, Mr. Ruli has breathed his last." The doctor with a sad face told Luna the sad news.

"No doc, the doctor must be lying right, mas Ruli can't leave me the same child, the doctor must be lying right?" unable to believe Luna with tears that kept flooding her cheeks.

"Strong mother, we will immediately prepare the operating room according to Mr. Ruli's last request, excuse me." The doctor immediately left Luna and Rafi who ran into Ruli's room.

"Father why the father died Rafi hiks hyks," Rafi cried hugging the body of her father who had not moved anymore.
