My husband is in the room of my best friend
Inner Bond

As Luna was crying over her daughter, Ariel came. He knew where his daughter was being cared for because Luna had again sent an email and informed her of her condition, complete with the hospital and room where Diana was being treated.

At the sound of footsteps, Luna looked towards the door. At first she thought it might be a doctor, but she was shocked when she saw that the one standing in front of her was her ex-husband.

"Mas." Luna immediately stood up and hugged Ariel as she had done before.

"Mas, our daughter's sick, Mas. Hix hicks .... " Hearing Luna's voice, Ariel felt pity. But he immediately pushed Luna's body.

"I'm sorry, we're no longer mahram" Ariel said. Hearing Ariel's words, Luna was embarrassed. Luna nodded her head. And a little bit away.

"Sorry, I forgot," the lie. Though he was just a reflex, and somehow he arrived to run and hug Ariel tightly.

Ariel walked towards her daughter who was closing her eyes. All this time, he had only seen from his picture, but now, he could see directly, even he could hold Diana by his hand.

"Darling, daughter. It's Papa, Son. Sorry Papa, because Papa just came." Ariel cried, she hugged her daughter tightly.

Seeing Ariel crying, Luna cried too. Either because he was moved, or because of his guilt for making his daughter fall ill.

"You need to heal, baby. For Papa's sake," Ariel said as she kissed her daughter's forehead and cheeks. Ariel also held Diana's hand and kissed her repeatedly.

As Ariel cries, suddenly either because of her inner strength or what, Diana starts to open her eyes and when she first sees Ariel. His eyes immediately glued.

"Darling, you're so big, son. This is Papa, son," said Ariel while staring at his daughter who had been staring at his face continuously. Maybe Diana was still confused, having never seen Ariel before.

"Papa," he said with his mouth looking worried.

"Yes, it's Papa." Hearing her daughter mutter, Papa said, Ariel wept even more. He immediately carried Diana into his arms. Diana, who was comfortable, returned Ariel's embrace.

"Papa," Diana continued muttering Papa said. Because he can't talk because he's eight months old. But she can call Mama, and this time, Diana can already call herself Papa.

"Yes, dear," Ariel replied as she continued to hug Diana and rubbed her daughter's back. Her face was still pale, but Diana looked very enthusiastic. Perhaps the inner child and father is very strong, so that Diana, even though she had just met, immediately felt comfortable in the arms of Ariel.

"Papa." Diana kept on babbling Papa's name.

"What's up, honey. Diana's sick, hem?" tanyakanya. Diana did not understand what Ariel was saying. Diana nodded her head.

"Prophey, baby. Papa's daughter is very strong, later God will surely heal her pain" he said. When Ariel wanted to take off her embrace, Diana was unwilling. Diana continued to hug Ariel. Ariel did not bother either. He hugged Diana, but not as hard as before, for fear that Diana would be in pain.

"Papa." Diana kept calling it, making Ariel's heart shake.

"For so long, Luna only knew Mama and the rest were just babbling indistinctly. It's the first time Diana has been able to call Papa by name" Luna said. Ariel just kept quiet and nodded her head. Because her focus right now was her daughter, not Luna.

For some reason when he saw Diana, Ariel's heart and mind were only focused on Diana, even he seemed to ignore the existence of Luna beside him. Though he was very worried, if he would be weak again in front of Luna. Apparently, what was feared did not happen because Ariel's current periority was Diana, not Luna.

An hour had Diana in Ariel's arms, and Diana did not want to be separated from Ariel. Afraid that Diana was tired, she finally sat down in the gurney and put Diana on her lap so Diana could curl up in a good position.

"When since Diana could recognize someone, she did not want to be embraced by other men, even in the embrace of Father, Latang and Mas Dion she refused. Even Diana would cry loudly, if it was in their arms. But just like you, Diana did not even want to escape. Maybe because Diana knows you're her Papa, so she doesn't want to be away from you anymore." Luna continued to talk, but Ariel just kept quiet because she was confused about what to say.

Feeling that there was no response, Luna said goodbye to come out and gave a chance for Ariel and Diana to release the kangen. Luna went to the park beside the hospital, there, Luna cried alone.

As for Ariel, as she hugged Diana, her phone rang, there was a vc from her Papa. Ariel picked him up immediately.

"Assalamualaikum, Pa," said Ariel first.

"Waalaikumsalam, Son. Arrived yet?" tanyakanya. From earlier he waited for a phone from Ariel, but because he did not immediately get a phone, so Ardi, took the initiative to call him first.

"Yes, Pa. I'm with my daughter now." Ariel directed her daughter who was now sitting on her lap while hugging her waist.

"Gee, Papa's grandson. Finally you can hug your own daughter, son," said ARdi moved.

"No papa, you have to prioritize your daughter, she definitely needs your affection more, son."

"Yes, Pa." said Ariel

"Diana, Papa's daughter. Sapa Opa used to yuk," he said but Diana shook her head. He even put his face on Ariel's chest.

"I'm sorry, Pa. My daughter may be embarrassed" said Ariel, because Diana seemed reluctant to say hello to her grandfather.

"No papa, this is the first time Diana has seen Papa. He must have felt foreign. But when he met you, did he do the same?" tanyanya.

"No, Pa. Diana was instantly sticky Even until this second, Diana seemed reluctant to separate from me."

"Maybe it's an inner bond, so he kind of knows that you're Papa's birth."

"Yes, maybe Pa."

"Yes already, Papa turn it off first. What's important is that Papa knows, you've arrived."

"Yes, Pa. Sorry I forgot to forget."

"No papa, may Diana recover quickly."

"Amen."

"Assalamualaik."

"Getishalight."

And after that, Ardi also turned off his phone. ARdi deliberately did not ask the news of his former daughter-in-law, for fear that it would make ARiel sad.

While Ariel, he immediately put his phone and focus on his daughter. He stroked Diana's back and sometimes stroked Diana's dense black hair. And the length only reaches his shoulders.

Ariel did not expect if Diana's face was exactly her even including her hair was also a dense black and easily long. Even Ariel also had to shave her hair once a month, because it was easily long.

Although all this time, Luna often sent photos of Diana, but looking directly like this, still makes Ariel feel amazed.

"Father," Diana said as she looked at ARiel's face.

"What's up, son?" the question is soft, very soft.

"Grandson." she said with an adorable face.

"Susu, Diana wants some milk?" tanyanya and Diana nodded their heads.

Karean was confused, and never drank milk. Ariel takes her phone and sends a message to Luna. This is the first time, Ariel sent a text message. During this time, Ariel chose to be silent and become a reader only.

After he sent a message to Luna, shortly afterwards, Luna came.

Fortunately before going to the hospital, Auntie Imah had everything ready.

Luna also made milk for Diana with warm water. Aunt Imah was very thorough, she even brought a clean pacifier, powdered milk and warm water using a small flask.

After making milk, Luna gave it to Ariel. Ariel took it and did not forget to say thank you.

Ariel gave the milk to Diana, Diana drank it but only a little, after that, she gave the milk to Ariel again.

"Why not spend it?" ariel asked quietly and Diana only shook her head, then with dim eyes, she began to slowly close her eyes. Ariel, who knew that her daughter was sleepy, immediately put the milk on the table beside the gurney, then she began stroking Diana's back again until Diana was completely asleep.
