The day turns to the weekend again, some people welcome it with enthusiasm and some are just plain because the endless routine seems to make their hard work as if endless, well.. Overtime on the weekend is indeed a annoying thing for some people.


leaving Yara on weekends with the same activity, namely visiting her mother's grave, then coming to the library shop that will spend half of her time there drinking cold coffee moca taste her favorite.


Devano, who prefers to be absent to meet his lover, is lamenting the guilt that regains his control of his late sister, he tries to calm down and plans to meet Yara in the afternoon or evening.


this weekend seems to belong to Darren, he welcomed the weekend with a smile on his face when he woke up, what else after seeing the digital calendar on his nightstand, a beautiful morning for Darren who seems to have his own schedule today.


After a few months, he finally met again with his annual routine, what else if not his visit to the hospital where his father was cared for all this time, longing and also happy so one because some days he got a report about the condition of his father who is getting better, now he is very excited, very excited, since morning he has been tidying up with his best clothes and some of the things he will give his father, such as new clothes, some warm blankets, and some, the needs of his other father who has to be replaced and also do not forget the snacks, some cakes Darren has prepared since yesterday.


he left in his car, driving alone to enjoy the beautiful scenery running around out there, his sunglasses pressed against the glare of the sun that was getting hot through the glass of his car, it took him a few more hours to get to his father's place, for which he preferred to enjoy his journey with the song he listened to himself from hedsed in his ears.


A beautiful weekend because there was no traffic jam as Darren imagined, he arrived at his destination with a scorching welcome of the sun that was quite stinging to burn his body, his car was parked in a parking lot outside the hospital a short distance from the entrance to the hospital building, but he was greeted by a nurse he was familiar with, this nurse is always giving up to date news about his father's condition.


His name is Satria, a young nurse who is deft and also smart to take the hearts of patients, his handsome face becomes one of the attractions favored by patients here.


Satria smiled welcoming Darren, he ran closer to Darren's car when the man had gone down and opened the trunk of his car, a lot of stuff they had to transport to the room, he said, some are also there to be given to the nurses and doctors who have been looking after his father all this time.


"that's for you. "


Darren pointed to a plain blue cardboard box, slightly larger in size than he had previously given Satria, Satria's face immediately sumringah, because it meant that it contained more than before.


"thank you, you don't have to bother bringing it to me. "


The pleasantries that seemed to contradict the look on his face, it made Darren laugh a little, because Satria was ready with a trolley beside her, his big smile that shows his white teeth makes his behavior funny show happiness.


Darren patted Satria's shoulder gently, channeling the happiness he received while nodding in gratitude to Satria who had never complained of accompanying her father, so the gift he brought every year, he said, it is nothing compared to Satria's hard work so far.


"where is my father?. "


While walking, he opened his glasses and slipped them on his collar, next to him Satria pushed the trolley that was almost full of Darren's cardboard gifts, they headed towards the hospital entrance now.


"the father was in the back garden, watering plants and planting trees held by social institutions from several regions, there were very crowded, very crowded, because the institution brought one beautiful artist who since yesterday did not stop singing when he came to introduce himself, the patients seemed to like him sir, besides being beautiful he was also friendly, and friendly, the bearer was cheerful and not afraid of the patient, I was suddenly a fan, my chest was pounding as he greeted us one by one. "


Satria told her by showing her face of admiration for the artist she was talking about, Darren smiled since he saw her behavior, they were already in the corridor, Darren stopped at the reception desk that greeted him, filled the guest book, he said,some of the guard sisters who have known him also greeted Darren enthusiastically, that's because some young sisters are unemployed Darren's good looks from a long time ago, so if Darren's schedule came to visit, it's because, they will be clustered to just say hello so they can shake hands directly at Darren.


The sight was commonly seen by Satria, he could only scatter cynically at the nurses while lowering some of the items in his trolley, in line with the behavior of the young sisters, as well as the behavior of the young sisters, before Mr. Darren came they had gossiped about my face. Think Satria.


"share to your friends as usual." said Satria in front of the nun's face that seemed unblinking staring at Darren there.


"ish.. You're just annoying. "said the nurse who seems not to like her face was blocked by the flickering of Satria's hand.


"share there, this is from Mr. Darren. "


While putting one large dus in front of the sister's face that was upset looking at her.


"wahhh, it seems like more than yesterday. "


One sister made a sound, they immediately swarmed the dus because they wanted to know what the contents were.


Satria raised her upper lip, the woman, only caring for her gift after being satisfied to look at it and enjoy the face that gave it.


"i'll bring my father's own. "


said Darren to Satria who had been standing holding Darren's father's dus, the hand immediately took over, Satria seemed to nod and was about to walk again to deliver Darren to his father's room,but his steps were held by Darren himself.


"don't drive me, enjoy the reward, I'll put this in my father's room while tidying it up for a while. "


"well sir, shall I call you and tell you that you have come?. "


"loh, sir didn't eat either? I'll prepare a different menu if you want. "


"don't think about me, I can eat at any time, just give my father priority. "


"well mister. "looked at Darren firmly speaking, making Satria finally just nod her head in assent to the man's order, saying, because he was indeed appointed Darren as a special nurse who took care of his father from the beginning they were here.


Darren nodded deeply at all the eyes that were staring at him there, not forgetting a little small smile so as not to seem arrogant in front of the sisters who were looking, not to forget, even though his treatment made a noise for a group of sisters who felt special to be able to greet him.


But as if he did not care, his steps were fixed on the door at the end of there, the door of the room he always missed every day, the room of the father.

Darren was done with his affairs in the father's room, tidying up some blankets on his bed replacing them with new ones, he also changed his pillowcase and sheets, he said, even though the hospital always replace it every day because his father includes a VVIP psien that is very noticed, why is that? Because half of the largest shares of this hospital are owned by people who claim to be guardians of Darren, of course that person is Vano's father, he is a business person who is quite competent at all opportunities, he said, after adopting Darren and putting Darren's father in this hospital, a place that was once remote and not much of the government developed, was taken over directly by the construction company of his papa Vano, Darren remembered, the uncle always said, "your father will be healed, he will recognize you again here, if we take him to the capital, he will forget you, because he does not know his own place of residence, so for his good and to support his recovery, the best doctor here says your father should stay in his hometown. "


At that time Darren obeyed all the words of his uncle, the color he strongly believed that his father could recover and remember him again, although now it is better, his father only remembered him occasionally, he said, and that was always Darren in a small body, his father only remembered him, Darre who was 12 years old.


his steps stopped in the backyard of the hospital's back garden, many elderly patients were sitting around enjoying the stinging sun, some were still watering their newly planted plants, he said, there are also those who still exercise in the follow of several nurses because they continue to run around here and there.


Dareen smiled as she found her father sitting alone holding a white rose, a blank stare that looked away, whether what she was looking at or thinking about, his steps were already moving closer to where his father was sitting right under the tree when suddenly the voice of someone from the direction of his father's gaze seemed loud to be heard stopping Darren's steps.


"SAAYYAABLUE... I found it again. "smabil ran a girl in a white dress on her knees to the place where her father was sitting, her long hair in her pigtails ngasal, in her hands carrying another set of white roses, there was also one that he slipped in his ear, his laughter was broken, Darren looked at the look on the face of the father who was smiling happily welcoming the rose from the hands of the young girl in front of him.


And what makes Darren pounding is the young girl he knows very well, the young girl who always wiri in his office if there is no filming schedule or other work. MOANA was sitting next to her happy father, he even dropped his head on the old man's shoulder.


"what are you doing here?. "


Darren who suddenly stood before father and Moana, making Moana look surprised and turned to see his president in front of him at this time, the girl was aghast reflex standing up, he said, darren's sharp gaze pierced the lens of Moana's eyes which instantly turned deathly pale.


"presdir? To.. Why would it be here? Ak.. I'm... Euu.. Wait, I can explain, I didn't break the employment contract, nor did I come often, I just helped the social institutions my mother managed, Iuu.... " moana's words seemed stammered, in the end she gave up explaining and looking for an excuse in front of Darren, with a lethargic face feeling guilty "presdir I beg you forgive me, but I can guarantee no one recognizes me here, I'm not as famous as Mario. "


The sighing in Darren's mouth made Moana a little afraid to speak again, then the pair of eyes looked at the silent old man sitting smiling to himself at the flower in his hand, Moana immediately knew that her president must be wondering who was with her, she immediately smiled to divert the conversation that might be able to save her.


"oh yes, introduce the president, this is the uncle who is undergoing treatment here, I have only come twice but this uncle has not forgotten me, he recognizes me as his wife, so we have been together since, picking the roses planted there. " Moana pointed at the direction she was running in, Darren followed Moana's hand out, then his face looked back at her father's face, which had been staring at the flower in his hand.


"by the way, what's the president doing here? this place is far from where the president lives? Is there a new talent who is the president of incar here? Was one of the nurses or doctors?. "while carefully Moana asked, she was also a little surprised to realize her question that guessed the needs of her president in a place far away like this.


"i visited my father. "


darren said without letting go of his father.


"wooaahhh it turns out the president came from a small town here huh? Must be the president's father, one of the workers here, ah.. Or maybe one of the doctors is here? If senior nurse seems like I don't see any older nurse, it must be a doctor...


Moana turned her back while stopping her chattering when she suddenly saw Darren crouching before the old man who was sitting with her earlier, his mouth was gaping and he hurriedly closed himself because the guess in his head made him shocked half to death.


Is he his father?


Asking inwardly, more and more certain that seeing Darren touching the old man's hand and grasping it tightly, the father looked at him blankly, without turning his eyes, without turning his eyes, Darren smiled at the white-haired figure whose face looked similar to him when he was smiling.


"right, he's my dad. "


He continued, making Moana back in shock that today either has how many times his chest pounded because Darren, he to rewind his body so much in disbelief what he saw today, his president, he said, got a heartbreaking story here.


Darren's weekend seems to be busy taking care of two people he didn't expect would make him laugh all day.
