“Father must take vitamins in time to quickly recover, only after that .. father can visit mother in hospital.” Carnations said as if to provide comfort for the middle-aged man who was lying down.
“Here, I help to sit,” said the green-clad doctor candidate while helping his in-laws to sit down.
“Uhuk, uhuk!” Gunadi coughed while trying to reach the hand of Carnation for him to hold on to be able to sit.
In the room, he slept alone. The old man looked lonely and the fine lines in his eyes confirmed the sadness he felt. Luckily he has a son-in-law like Anyelir who is a prospective doctor and painstaking to take care of parents who are sick like him.
After successfully enforcing the body, Gunadi received several pills from Carnations. He put it in his mouth at once.
Carnations now thrust a glass filled with mineral water so that Gunadi can swallow all the medicine.
The old man received the glass without much talking. Then he downed the water so that all the pills entered and dissolved in his body.
Before lying down again, he took another sip of the mineral water. Although not until the toilet, at least it has eliminated the feeling stuck in his throat.
“Let me help you again, Sir.” Carnations are always sensitive and he immediately sprightly helps his in-laws lie down again slowly. He held Gunadi's upper arm by Carnations, then he also held the back of his in-laws until the man lay perfectly.
“Thank you.” With a loud voice, Gunadi said the word to the son-in-law.
Carnation smiled as he nodded.
“Father if there is anything, can ask for help to me,” said Anyelir while cleaning up the former taking the medicine of the in-laws.
“I can myself, Anye .... You think I'm frail?” he answered while closing his eyes.
Carnations chuckled at the words of the in-laws. Although not fully recovered, but this man does not want to show if he is down.
“I ... just unusual people other than Lastri take care of me. Even if it's an assistant or a waiter, they all do whatever they can on Lastri's orders. Gotta get this ready, make it, he's all taking care of it. I never got that kind of attention from anyone else while married to him.” The old man opened his petals again. He stared at the ceiling as if piercing through the layers of memories depicted above.
“But .. I'm glad you and Dylan always look tough in front of me. It gives strength to me and .. takes away the despair in my mind.” Gunadi continued his words.
“Lastri is never wrong to choose people. Thank you for being present in our family,” he said again.
Carnations shake their heads. “I ... just help dad to take medicine. Why do you say such exaggerated things,” answered Anyelir who even hesitated because of the speech of the in-laws.
“Back, I want to rest.”
“Good, Sir.”
While carrying a tray containing a glass of old man's drink, Anyelir walked out of the room of the in-laws.
He did not have to worry, because in front of it now there were two guards and also servants who always lived nearby. But still, Carnations always ordered that her in-laws call themselves if they need something.
The woman stepped foot, the sound of clinking from the glass on the tray sounded loud enough to the first floor. Another woman looked up to see what was going on.
“Bu Carnation,” said the woman softly and immediately approached.
They met in the middle of the stairs and greeted each other.
“Why, Bi? You want to rest he said,” said Anyelir.
“Sini let me bring the glass, Bu Anyelir.” Bi Ai took over the tray.
“Aih, Aunty. I'm fine if I bring it myself.” Carnation even though he did not mind, but he did not want to scramble while on the stairs like this. For that he also let the butler in the house to bring his glass.
“Already aunty,” said Bi Ai who immediately went down leaving Carnation.
The woman just smiled and went down to the first floor. There was something he had been waiting for since. While walking, he looked towards the watch.
“He should have gone home,” said the restless Carnation.
There was something she wanted to tell her husband, but since Dylan's return yesterday, she still had no chance.
“She will definitely be home soon.”

“Brontosaurusku is green,” said Rio while lifting his picture book.
Carnations took the picture and watched it. “Wah, how Rio coloring the more the better the day,” praise Anyelir on the work of his son.
“Whatever yesterday ugly coloring result, yes, Ma?”
Anyelir chuckled at his son's question. “Not so, it's just that today is better than yesterday.”
Rio smiled broadly revealing his breast teeth that were growing infrequently.
The woman glanced back at her phone, there was no notification at all from the man. Though the clock has shown at 20:00 Indonesian time west. Dylan should have been home even two hours ago.
“Mama, I'll color another dinosaur.” Rio took out another pictorial paper for him to color.
Carnations just nodded not giving any other response.
She was really impatient to meet her husband to say the thing that was on his mind.
Drrrrt drrrrt drrrrt
His phone was shaking, impatiently Carnation looked directly at the screen.
It turns out that Lina, the woman's shoulder also slumped when she was feeling disappointed. Even so, he still raised the call of his best friend.
“Before a minute, dear,” whispered Anyelir pamphit to his son to pick up the phone.
Rio who did not press continued to color, while the mother was heading out of the room to pick up the phone from her best friend.
“What's up, Lin?” asked Carnation with a little whisper.
“Anye, are you okay?” The voice across there was more frantic than Carnation.
“I ...? Why indeed? The one who's sick, right, my mother-in-law, Lin. You know it yourself,” said Carnations to his best friend. “What's up?”
Lina was heard breathing deeply through her phone. “Sgratitude.”
“What is it? Your question makes me not calm like this.” Carnations also protest.
“There was a chaotic incident earlier,” Lina said to her best friend.
“Why?”
“There's someone who called the hospital receptionist, then that person is looking for you.” Lina's voice sounded a bit shaky.
Carnations themselves sculpt to hear the continuation of the story.
“Because you were on leave and at that time there happened to be a doctor Rian passing by, so he received the call. And you know who called the hospital looking for you?”
The woman remained silent, this time as if she knew the next story. “Wira, huh?”
“True once!”
