The house with predominant white paint was crowded with people, several cars lined up along the street of the elite housing complex. Friends, friends and family gathered there.

They were joking with faces full of twinkle looking at the tiny creature in red clothes that looked oversized. Beside him was a pile of red angpaos giving from those people. Also some gifts were lined up on the other side.

Yes, they were having a birthday party for Hendi and Siska. Several families, relatives, friends and company employees were present there. The look on Chandra's face looked very happy, with pride he was holding a tiny baby who was sleeping on the pillow.

"Whose name is Chan sir?" ask someone who just arrived.

"Who was it, Hen?" He asked Hendi who was standing by his side.

"Well, just so grandpa a few days already senile Mr. Chandra this!" the couple in front of him laughed loudly.

"Hahaaha, understand the name of the same papih papih I also just heard a glance earlier," he said while grinning.

"Valentino Henka Saputra" said Hendi with a smile full of pride staring at the tiny face.

"He's white, his id is exactly the same as his papih yah." chirped the woman next to the man.

"Yes, obviously, if he looks like a neighbor can be bothered later." replied the others joking and followed by laughter exploding from all of them.

Siska was pensive at her bedside, the bustling atmosphere made her heart even more sad. He could not help but cry to see Hendi's happy face, when something big was being felt.

How not, the husband who suffered from the deadly disease just last night shivering with pain all over his body. His head was very painful and the fever never subsided.

However, this morning he was seen forcing himself to meet the guests by holding everything back. Making Siska powerless to shed tears and immediately ran towards the room.

"Where is your wife, Hen?" chandra asked in a daze looking for the mother figure of the baby she held.

The tiny body seemed to be twitching in search of warmth, the hand wrapped in a white glove was repeatedly directed to the mouth and rubbed his entire face until it became red.

"So richly go to the room for a while, here let Hendi who is fat," he asked as he grabbed the pillow where the baby was.

"You'd better take it to the room like she'll suckle." Viona came from behind with another snack.

"Yes .. let's all stay a while. Please enjoy the food," said Hendi as he stepped into their room.

Just as he was about to open the door, Siska looked out from there.

"Dede kanya want to suckle," said Hendi in a weak voice while handing the baby to his mother.

With a swift Siska holding the baby, just the baby's body lifted from the mattress pillow was suddenly the body of Hendi collapsed his head hit the door.

"Guilie!" peekik Siska made some people look at her.

Chandra who heard Siska's cry immediately ran over, and found his nephew lying on the floor.

"Hendi why?" tanyanya panicked while trying to wake her up.

"I don't know, suddenly she fell." replied Siska no less panicked continue to hold the hand of her husband.

"The body is so hot" Chandra said as she felt her forehead and cheeks.

"It looks like Hendi passed out sir!" exclaimed Gio who was right beside him.

"Hurry and get him to the hospital!" chandra Command.

Then, he and several others carried Hendi's body towards the car.

"You're here with Auntie, Sis. It's not good that there are still many guests" said Viona holding Siska's hand when she wanted to take her husband.

"But, Aunt ...."

"Let's take care of Hendi, the guests let them eat first" Chandra said as he got into the car.

The black car sped quickly towards the hospital, the look on Chandra's face that kept holding Hendi's body seemed worried. While Gio and one more employee sat in front.

"It looks like Mr. Hendi is exhausted, sir" said Gio trying to calm his restless-looking boss.

Arriving at the hospital, Hendi was immediately taken to the ER. A series of checks were prepared. The nurses and doctors were at his side.

"Please take the father outside first well," the nurse orders Chandra.

The middle-aged man immediately stepped out of the room despite repeatedly looking at Hendi.

While at Hendi's residence the guests began to disperse because they felt bad about the events that befell the owner of the house. The atmosphere of joy turned to silence, there was only chatter from some relatives who were still waiting for news there.

After the house was deserted Siska could no longer hold back the rumble in his chest, which had been restrained. The tears slowly slid back when he saw the tiny baby who was fast asleep beside him.

Viona walked up to him, "You are patient and calm, Siska. Hendi never had any complaints, right? Believe me he must be just a soy sauce," he said stroking the woman's head slowly.

It seemed that Siska's tongue heard it, the bitter reality that they hid from Hendi's will could no longer be contained.

The young woman slammed into Viona's arms making her worried to hear the sound of her daughter-in-law's cries getting louder.

"Hendi's sick, Aunt. He's sakiitt," he stifled, holding his mouth.

"ill? What pain?" viona asked not to understand.

He tried to hold Siska's shoulder and straighten his body against her.

"Try you calm down first, the story of the same Aunt what is it really? Are you covering something up for us?"

"Hendi .. she .. she was exposed to HIV," she answered with a roar of tears.

"W-what? HIV? How can it be, Siska?"

Viona got up from her seat, looking at the woman in front of her in disbelief. His mouth agape, his eyebrows met unexpectedly with what he had heard earlier.

"HIV doc? No, it's impossible. He only had one partner and his wife was healthy she was HIV-negative her son too. How did Hendi get the virus?" sergeant Chandra couldn't believe it when the doctor gave his testimony.

"But that's the reality, his condition is now increasingly alarming. It seems he has never been treated or taken his medication" explained the doctor with a worried face.

"Did his wife not know about this either?"

"Doc, is this really HIV?" tanyanya still can't believe it. His knees were shaking violently, his heart was pounding in shock.

"Why am I lying? Please see the test results for yourself. Even the virus had already developed into AIDS" the middle-aged man handed Chandra a piece of paper.

Suddenly after reading the contents of the paper his body limply leaned against the chair behind him. He rubbed his face rough, breathing a long sigh.

"He never told me the same thing, doc," he said weakly. Clear circles pooled in his eye pelup.

"I am his family, the closest person to him besides his wife. I also raised him. Think of him as his own son, but he's never been open until now" he continued raucously.

Chandra slapped both of her hands on her face. His shoulders were shaken, his chest was claustrophobic in accepting this bitter reality.

"Then, how long can he survive?" tanyanya.

"Let's know, only God knows when our age limit is. But, judging from the condition of Hendi's brother will not last long. The virus is slowly but surely already damaging the patient's immunity. I don't mean to scare, if there is no support from the family and ignore the treatment and advice of doctors then we must be prepared with the consequences," he explained at length.

The deg! Chandra's heart stopped beating.

The niece he was so proud of, who was always reliable had to fate like this.

"Please do your best, doc, please give me even the most expensive medicine. Please, doc," he groaned looking at the man in front of him expectantly.

"Unfortunately there is no specific cure for this disease. But there are drugs to slow the process of this virus multiplying itself. So that it can extend the life of the patient," he explained.

Seriate....
