"Papa.. Papa's.. Take a look.. Caca Shirt.. That's great."

"Gee.. Papa's little dandelion is so pretty.."

"Thank you Papa.."

"What is dandelion mama? is he a handsome prince? is he a lion, because there is a lion? lion means lion?."

"Maha..."

"Papa mama ayoo we're leaving, Caca wants to play in the park."

"Mama Caca wears this shirt yes, the white shirt is nice, like a pretty princess, Caca likes."

"Racca.. Let's see here."

"What is papa?"

"It's a dandelion flower, try blowing the flower."

"Wahh he's flying.. He's flying."

"Why is Caca called a dandelion?"

"Because your hair is smooth and stands like this flower, hahaha."

"Why Caca's hair, what Caca's hair blown will also fly, Caca does not want bald, huaahuaaa. huhuhu, mama."

"Maha.."

"Don't cry, dear Caca, you see this flower, although it includes weeds, but the flowers are beautiful, and you're also an example of this flower, see that even if we step on it, it doesn't die, she's strong, Caca must be strong, here's papa's photo."

"Caca has to be strong, is Caca going to be superman?"

"Geez.."

"Why so many people, papa Caca is afraid, why they all wear black clothes, why they beat papa and mama, why we have to run... Huhuhuhuhu."

"Papa.. Mamma.. Don't stay in Caca."

"Caca, look at this."

"Why is this Dad?"

"Dad has food and toys."

"Why is it all dark?"

"Dad.. Fathering.. Where are you going? Caca's coming."

"Don't Caca, Dad's job here is done."

"Now Dad, Papa and Mama you will be in the same place."

"You have to be strong and keep smiling."

"Don't want Dad, don't go."

"Dad!"

Caca apparently dreamed of remembering his past memories, he also woke up and cried. Caca saw that someone was accompanying him while sleeping in the chair. It was Nael.

Caca didn't want to wake her, Caca realized she was back moody. Nael opened his eyes and saw Caca sitting on her bed looking out the window.

"Thank God, Carisa's not crying anymore."

Nael then approached Caca.

"Maiza."

Caca didn't answer he was just staring out the window.

"Marine. Sorry," said Nael.

Caca turned around, he saw Nael apologizing to him.

"Are you sorry you could bring back my dead father?" ask Caca.

Caca cried again, and then he looked down. His eyes were swollen from crying all day. Nael just fell silent, he did not dare to speak anymore. Nael can only apologize to Caca.

"My father is now gone, when I am sad he is the one who calms me in his unique way. Wh why? why did he leave so soon?"

Caca covered her face and cried back. Nael approaches Caca and hugs Caca very gently. Nael apologizes to Caca.

***

Ahmad comes to pick Nael home, he sees Nael hugging Caca. Ahmad paused his intention to enter, then returned and waited outside.

***

Nael tries to calm Caca down. A little while later Caca had regained his composure, the nurse on duty came and gave him some food.

"Marine. Do you eat first, which one do you want to eat? let me take a bribe."

"No need, sir. I'm not hungry yet" replied Caca.

"How can you not be hungry? are you a robot? here eat!" nael said a little forcefully.

"No, Sir. Just put it on the table! I can eat by myself" said Caca, unwilling to budge.

"No! you have to eat now! I'm not going home if you haven't eaten!" nael says force it back.

"Not bother, sir. I'll eat myself later" Caca said again, unwilling to budge.

Nael got up from his seat. Caca looked at Nael fearlessly.

"Why! what's up?" caca asked.

"Huh! don't want! don't want!" caca said as he closed his mouth and tried to keep the spoon filled with food into his mouth.

Nael became anxious he was a little furious, he tried to return to feed Caca. Caca stayed away from Nael who was still feeding her. Caca's face always looks to the side when fed food. Nael was unconscious when his body approached slightly above Caca.

Caca rebelled and accidentally pulled his hand over Nael's left hand. Nael's hand that was holding himself up on the bed was shaky. Because of the incident himself accidentally fell and made Nael's lips land right on Caca's right cheek.

They were both surprised. How not, it happened so quickly. Nael kissed Caca's cheeks, their faces both blushing instantly. They both became misbehaved after the incident.

Ahmad only laughed amusedly at the behavior of those who became misbehaved, he just kept quiet so that Nael and Caca did not see Ahmad who was peering from the door of the room.

Nael apologizes back to Caca and returns to his position. Nael sits back and puts the spoon as Nael gives up on feeding Caca.

Nael looks at Caca's face, she is thrilled when Caca opens her mouth and asks Nael to feed her a meal. Nael feeds Caca patiently and Caca just chews slowly.

"Why Carisa? does it taste bad? you want to eat something else? let me order some food. What do you want? burger, fries, or other fast food?" nael asked like a sales person.

"I want to eat vegetable asem using sambal terasi, salted fish and lalapan kebon," said Caca replied.

"What food is that? why do you want to eat stale vegetables that are already acidic? terasi it stinks, what is lalapan kebon?" nael said confused and asked back.

"Maha." Ahmad came in and laughed.

Nael and Caca saw Ahmad enter, they immediately remembered the incident earlier.

"Ouch! Ahmad saw the incident earlier, didn't he? hopefully not," said Caca in his heart

"Wah finally Caca is healthy already want to eat," said Ahmad while bringing food for Nael.

"Mad. You just came what's been since?" nael asked a little nervously.

"New to Nael. There is food" said Ahmad, lying.

Their faces look relieved, Ahmad just shook his head with a smile.

***

Shortly thereafter Mr. Tris came along with Ms. Caca.

"Caca," Mother's voice called out to Caca.

"Mother."

Mom approached Caca and hugged her.

"Thank God you've done well, thank you Nael for taking care of Caca all night" Caca's mother said in a statement.

"Together, Mom."

Caca's mother asks Nael to go home and rest, because she will now take care of Caca. Nael then nodded in agreement and he returned with Ahmad.

Nael looks at Caca, she is happy because Caca is willing to eat by being fed by her mother and Caca's feelings have also improved a little.

……………………………………………………………………………

In Nael's car.

On the way home, Ahmad asked Nael, "Boss. How's Caca? is he still sad?"

"Still," answered Nael briefly.

"Rarely do I see the boss is so considerate of other people let alone the same woman," said Ahmad slightly teasing his boss.

"Especially earlier, when Caca had difficulty eating," Ahmad said while glancing at Nael.

"What do you mean? you see what?" asked Nael who was suddenly groggy and became misbehaved.

"Nothing, Boss. Just kidding," said Ahmad smiling himself.

Nael only sighed, he recalled back when he accidentally kissed Caca's cheek. His face turned red again.

"Kring cring cring!" ahmad's phone sounded. It was from Mul tea.

"Hi, Beb."

"Hello. Where are you again? have you looked at Caca yet? how's condition? okay?" ask Teh Mul while nyerocos continues.

"It has. This again on the way home between Mr. Nael to the house first new to the office. Caca is fine, already wants to eat," replied Ahmad.

"Ah. Thank goodness" replied Mul tea.

"Yes. I was driving, Dah Beb!" ahmad said as he hung up his phone.

"Lad. Duck times," Nael said with a laugh.

"Yeh ngeledek's. I can joke that this boss is too. Hahaha," said Ahmad laughing.

"You're dating Mul, right? why would that be?" ask Nael.

"No idea, it just happened. I've loved it since I first saw Mul, he helped wake Caca up. There I collided with Mul, somehow my heart always thumped when I saw him, happy to see him, always waiting for him, not strong if I saw him cry. Angry to see him close to another guy. At first I did not understand why, it turns out I have fallen in love with Mul, I fell in love with Mul," said Ahmad blushed embarrassed.

..."Falling in Love."...

Nael then pondered, that's what he always felt when he was close to Caca. He was angry for no reason when he heard Caca was in a match, feeling hurt when he saw her crying. Angry when he heard he would be tainted by someone, relieved when he wanted to eat earlier. Smiling saw him acting funny and interested in his aura.

They remember everything they did together. Shortly thereafter Nael's heart skipped a beat as he remembered it all. This feeling, a feeling that he did not understand was it called love? has he fallen in love?

Yes, Nael has "Fell in Love." To Caca. Nael finally understood.

"Thank you, Ahmad." Nael then smiled.

"Why Boss? why are you suddenly thanking me?" ahmad asked confused by the behavior of his boss.

"It's okay, Mad." Nael smiled back.

Ahmad was happy to see his boss smiling, even though he did not know what happened to his boss.

Seriate.
