Guilt continues to haunt Aldo after reaching his home. Even he felt dazed with his blank look. Especially when she saw Lili crying in fear because she was driving a car at high speed. Even when his parents called him, Aldo did not bother him at all.
"Why did he even think the same? Let's just napa. It's his business if he's afraid" muttered Aldo who even ruffled his hair because he remembered his behavior.
Even Aldo was struck by the disappointed look that Lili put on him. He also still remembers Lili's scathing remarks about him that he did not really expect to be close to him as well as Kei. He was sure that if Kei did not meet Lili for a long time, the little boy would be fussy.
"What should you do, Kei? Papa still loves your real mama. There's no way that papa would vent this loneliness by approaching Lili. Besides Lili will be hurt because of the false hope that papa gives, surely the girl also does not want to be close to your father" murmured Aldo.
Aldo was resigned if the next day would be the target of anger from his son. Especially if until the child knows about him who makes Lili cry. Both of his parents would be very angry with him.
Finally Aldo immediately laid his body on his mattress and closed his eyes. Aldo was so tired of thinking about everything that happened in his life as well as his changing attitude since the death of Arlin.

Several times Lili's body had convulsions because the fever was too high. Even Lili was also often delirious in this unconsciousness. This certainly makes Lili really guarded intensively by family and medical team.
"Please... Don't push the car. Lili's scared" Lilies delirium in her sleep.
Lili has repeatedly been delirious by asking for help because she is afraid of cars being driven fast. Papa Dedi and Mama Ningrum could only conclude that her son was traumatized by a car traveling at high speed.
But Papa Dedi who used to err on Lili did not remember at all the events about him who drove a car at high speed. Mama Ningrum who saw that continued to gently stroke the forehead of her son who was now sweating.
"Swimming, kid. No one would dare to drive his car at such high speed here. You must be able to get through all your fears" whispered Mama Ningrum right to her son's ear.
Even Papa Dedi also directly stroked his son's arm gently so that Lili could immediately sleep. Hearing the words from her mother and the gentle strokes she felt made Lili feel comfortable and safe. Even Lili immediately calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.
"Are we the cause of Lili's trauma? Only you don't remember" Mama Ningrum asked her husband.
Papa Dedi who heard the words from his wife immediately fell silent. Papa Dedi is recalling some past events that may have been the cause of his son's trauma. After a few minutes of remembering everything, not a single event was the cause of all this.
"Papa forgot, ma. But papa kok rich sure that we are not the cause of this event yes" said Papa Dedi.
Mama Ningrum just flicked her shoulders a sign of not knowing what was happening. Tomorrow, they'll find out everything by asking their son. Although his son did not clearly tell it, but at least they could know a little.

"Lili, you finally woke up too" said Mama Ningrum who saw her son had now woken up from his sleep.
Actually last night Lili could have been aware of the stings, but doctors gave injections of sleeping pills so that patients can rest. And this morning, when Mama Ningrum was going to clean the body of Lili, it turned out that her son was awake. Mama Ningrum was so happy to see her son had woken up and his face was not as pale as last night.
"What's going on, ma? Kok Lili is in the hospital" asked Lili after looking around which turned out this was not her room.
"You passed out last night. Your body has a high fever and your face is very pale. Finally mom and dad decided to take you to the hospital" Mama Ningrum explained.
"Is it still lightheaded?" ask the child who closed his eyes again.
Lili just nodded her head in response. Mama Ningrum helps Lili to drink and then cleans her son's body with a wet washcloth. After everything was clean, then Lili ate by being fed by Mama Ningrum. This attention from Mama Ningrum made Lili feel moved because she felt the affection of a mother.
Not long after, Papa Dedi entered Lili's inpatient room. Papa Dedi smiled at his son who was now eating voraciously. The sight of Lili and Papa Dedi meeting made the girl instantly stiffen. There was a radiance of fear in Lili's eyes making the girl directly bow her head.
"What's wrong with you, son?" mama Ningrum asked her son who immediately changed his attitude after the arrival of her husband.
"Please talk to us. What kind of past trauma did you pass out last night? Papa knows that all this time can not be a good family leader. But please tell me, what is our fault for you to be traumatized like this? The doctor also told us that you are like this because you remember something" said Papa Dedi with a worried look.
Hearing what her father said just made Lili's body stiffen. It seemed like he was delirious last night until everyone knew about his fear all along. Mama Ningrum who saw her son was silent like this also immediately hugged her from the side.
Even Papa Dedi also directly stroked the soft back of his son's hand to make it a little calmer. Looks like Papa Dedi can't force his son to tell everything in person. Not that the child feels relieved but even more depressed.
"We wait until you're ready to tell us everything. Don't be afraid, son. We are here now because we want to change. We want to make beautiful memories so that our families are more harmonious. Do not forget that we have changed so that you can feel the full affection of your parents" said Papa Dedi gently.
Papa Dedi also immediately embraced two very valuable women in his life. He never cared so much about both of them that now he wanted to make up for all the time wasted just for them. His guilt is still there until he wants to always fix everything he has done before.

"Ante Lili." exclaimed the little boy who had just woken up from his bed.
A little boy was Kei who had just woken up but was already searching for Lili's whereabouts. Kei thought that Lili stayed overnight in his mansion to look for him immediately. Kei slept so well last night hugged by Lili that he didn't realize she was gone.
"Muntin Ante Lili ladi in dapul buwat macakin Kei mataan matan padi" he murmured, then stepped his feet into the room of the oma.
Kei even just went straight into the room oma and her open op. It turns out that she had just finished her bath, while her eyes were still asleep on the bed. Mama Nei was surprised by the presence of her granddaughter who was very early in the morning to enter her room.
"Lho Kei's... How do you wake up at this hour?" asked Mama Nei who then carried her granddaughter who was still wearing her nightgown.
"What is this hour? Tita smooth matan morning tan? Tan Ante Lili has been makak buwat tita ointment" said Kei innocently staring at the oma.
Mama Nei who heard what her grandson said was shocked. Lili's feeling had come home last night with Aldo. But his grandson thought that Lili was still here and cooked for breakfast.
"It's still half 5 in the morning, son. Oh yea... Aunt Lili's been home from last night. He does not stay here" said Mama Nei gave understanding.
"Tracked cih? Capa who antal Ante Lili reworked?" asked Kei with a look of confusion.
"Every night Aunt Lili delivered with your father" said Mama Nei hesitantly.
Because last night Mama Nei felt doubtful that Aldo delivered Lili with good condition. Just a few minutes after Aldo left to drop off, the man had already returned to the mansion. Wanting to ask Aldo, the man entered his room.
"With talo papa's trust antal Ante Lili. Pati Ante Lili left in dalanan" Kei exclaimed suddenly.
Just the negative thoughts from Kei made Mama Nei dumbfounded. Didn't think that his grandson was thinking negatively of his own father. Kei's cry made Papa Tito who had fallen asleep soundly wake up.
Papa Tito looked at his wife and granddaughter who were talking. Even the two engaged in a debate that made the atmosphere more crowded. Papa Tito came down from his bed and then approached the two who did not realize that he was awake.
"What's this about? Early in the morning it was a storm" asked Papa Tito in a hoarse voice.
"This is it, pa. Kei's father accused Aldo of taking Lili down on the street last night" Mama Nei said.
Papa Tito's eyes immediately widened in shock at what his wife said. Last night he also thought like that, but he immediately shook his mind. Because Aldo could not bear to abandon a woman on the streets at night.
Mama Nei gave Kei to her husband to take a shower with her. He immediately came out of his room to prepare breakfast. Let her husband later give Kei understanding so as not to be angry with Aldo. They don't know the truth yet.
