My Old Star
#41 Grandpa's Daughter
Steven walked down the aisle of the hospital, he wanted to play outside because he was bored of being indoors, which is why he chose to leave without saying goodbye first.
Steven played in the park for a while and after being satisfied he wanted to go back to his mother. Meanwhile, everyone is panicking because Steven is missing.
Arman and Siska also go in search of Steven's whereabouts, only Sania stays because she can't bear to leave Tomi alone.
"Fan please find her, I can't live if something happens to her," Sania sobbed, Tomi felt she was useless because at a time like this she couldn't help anything.
"You take it easy Sania, we'll definitely find Steven!" Arfan promised Sania.
Arfan and all of them split up, apparently they are at loggerheads with Steven walking into the hospital. Steven with curiosity entered into the nursery next to his papa.
Slowly Steven opened the door of the nursery. At that time Zaki was asleep so that he did not know anyone had entered.
Steven watched the face of the person who was rubbing weakly in the bed and there was no one in the room to look after him.
"Om good?!!!" Steven said loudly that made Zaki gurgle his eyes because he was disturbed by a voice that he really wanted to hear.
Steven shut his own mouth because he felt guilty for bothering Zaki.
"I'm sorry, um" said Steven regretfully.
"Stev is that you?" Zaki smiled and scrambled Steven's hair slowly with his hands free from the infusion hose.
Steven simply nodded, "What happened to om, why can om be cared for here?"
"Om had an accident baby, so you have to get treatment." Zaki replied lying, Zaki certainly did not want if Steven knew if he had just fought because it was not a good example for Steven.
"Stev what are you doing here?" Zaki asked because he was curious why Steven seemed to always be around him.
"My father was cared for here, um, so I accompanied my mother."
"Pope you sick Stev?"
"Yes, my mother is very sad because my father is sick. Mama said papa was naughty, so sick. Stev doesn't want to be naughty so it doesn't hurt."
Zaki laughed, "This kid is so cute and innocent" he thought.
Zaki invites Steven to play simple games such as guessing the names of fruits and animals using their front letters that are counted with fingers or often known as the ABC game name.
For so long they played with excitement, once in a while they laughed if they could not find the right word.
"Did your mama know you were here Stev?" Ask Zaki in the middle of their game.
Steven shook his head, "Then they'll be worried, how about you say goodbye to your mom and come here again."
Zaki gives advice because he doesn't want Steven's mom looking for his son.
Steven seemed to pout, but he obeyed Zaki's words, "Good om, see you again om, get well soon om good."
Zaki kissed Steven on the forehead fondly before the boy left the room where he was being treated. After Steven died, the man shed tears. At the same time Arman entered the room and immediately approached Zaki, "Hey Za what are you?" Arman asked a little panicked.
"I'm sorry I left you alone because my friend asked for help looking for her son who suddenly disappeared."
"I'm fine Man, I just remember my son."
"Now just rest, Za, don't think too much."
"Man did you say you were looking for a child?"
"Yes Za, that kid met just now. He went outside to play because he was tired of waiting for his sick papa."
"What's the kid's name Steven?" Ask Zaki.
"Where do you know Za?"
"That kid just got out of here, he was playing with me!"
"Really? You should remember your son Za."
Arman laughed, "You know Za, that child is indeed your flesh and blood. Turns out you've met even though you didn't know it yourself" Arman said.

"Steven you're worrying mama," Sania hugged Steven.
"I'm sorry Stev ma, Stev naughty huh ma?"
Sania shook her head, "No dear, but next time if you want to go outside you have to say goodbye to your mother, yes,"
"Okay, ma" replied Steven full of regret for making his mother cry.
Tomi watched the heartwarming scene, how much Sania loved Steven so much. Tomi can't imagine if someday Zaki finds out if Steven is his son and takes Steven from Sania's life what Sania would have been.
Mentari approached Steven, "Stev now go home first the same uncle, mom let me keep papa here."
Mentari looked at Arfan, he could not decide because for a while every day he had to go home to his parents.
"Stev play tomorrow yes with Mentari, it's already afternoon so Mentari's brother must go home first." Arfan tried to give Steven some understanding.
"But I promise you Stev tomorrow we play?"
"Dear Stev, tomorrow is a holiday we can play as much."
They eventually leave the hospital, and Arfan invites everyone to dinner first before returning home.
"Hi Fan you're here too?" Mona who turns out to be in the same place as them suddenly approaches.
Arfan looked coldly in response to Mona, "Oh you guys are always following Arfan apparently huh?" Mona said cynically to Mentari and Siska.
"Do you have no other job, other than trailing people's husbands?" Connect Mona.
"Swipe over there, I'll sit here!" Mona pushing Mentari.
"You're so rude Mona!" Arfan helps Mentari stand up.
"Tante don't bother Mentari!" Steven hugged Mentari.
"You're her sister this rancid girl apparently, you're also moving aside there!"
"Your mona has really gone too far!"
"I didn't expect a woman who considers herself as honorable as you turned out to have no ethics like a respectable woman!" Arfan is caught off guard by Mona's behavior that is already inexplicable.
"Everything let's get out of here, let's find another restaurant!"
Arfan invites everyone away from the place, their hunger suddenly disappears because of Mona's behavior that makes them sick.
Mona was annoyed that Arfan did not defend her at all, "Based on you Fan, can't you look at me for a bit. What a lack of me in your eyes actually!" Mona swears.
"I'm sorry uncle, you didn't have dinner there!"
"It's okay for us to look elsewhere," Steven is indeed a smart and easy child to understand the situation.
"You know Dance, that was how I felt about the Mon Mon. I want to feel like I'm snapping!"
Mentari laughed, "You're Sis, a bar-bar habit."
Arfan saw Mentari was fine already making him happy, even though he did not know how the real Mentari heart. In the end they found a suitable place for dinner, but without them realizing there was someone who seemed to be observing Mentari from a distance.
After dinner, Arfan delivered them one by one. After delivering Siska to the dormitory. Arfan drove Mentari to the front of his house.
"Love dream Little Mentari!" arfan said before leaving Mentari's parents' house.
"Yes, take good care of Steven, brother!"
Arfan looked at Steven's innocent face sleeping heavily in the back cabin, "I'll look after him!"
"You come in!" arfan's orders.
Mentari went into the house, someone who had met them at the restaurant was trailing them to the front of the Mentari house.
"Because you're a little girl!" said the man then left the place.
Arfan takes Steven to Wijaya's grandmother's house, he holds a sleeping Steven to his room.
Arfan came back down to get a drink, "Fan you're home son?" Grandpa Mahmud greets Arfan.
"Grandfather hasn't slept?"
"Grandfather can't sleep yet, it feels like grandpa's daughter's grandfather's mind. If only Grandpa could meet him." Grandfather Mahmud propped up his chin with both hands, there was a desperate tone in every word he spoke.
"She didn't they throw you away?"
"Grandfather only worries if grandfather's son gets married, who will be his guardian."
"Don't think it's a cake, if they need a grandpa they'll be looking for you." Arfan tried to encourage Mahmud's grandfather.
"You're right, son, they should've looked for me if they felt they needed me."
"Who's grandfather's son by the way?" Arfan gulped back the white water he had taken.
"Mona. his name is Mona" Mahmud's grandfather repeated his remark.
"His age is not much different from yours Fan, because when Mona was two years old, your father and mother were married, even though I couldn't see your birth." Grandpa Mahmud said.
Arfan spouted the water he was drinking because he was shocked by the name mentioned by his grandfather, even though he had just met a woman named Mona who irritated him thousands of times.
