"You didn't tell Sheila about this?" ask Willy while driving.
"I'll see him later."
"Sheila would have been very happy, knowing her son was still alive. Why didn't you ask to meet at the orphanage?"
"My number's blocked. I can't reach him. I'll have Bu Fifi call her."
Shaking his head, Willy clucked in wonder. "I'm concerned. You three were separated for so long. Sheila to Germany, you're enjoying your solitude, and your son in an orphanage."
Both of Marchel's eyeballs returned glazed over. "I'm just gonna adopt Michella and take her with me. I asked Ms. Fifi's permission. My son, I'd love to hug him."
Willy stepped on the deep gas pedal, making the car go fast. Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the orphanage belonging to the Darmawan family. With an impatient move, Marchel entered the house. He immediately went to the room where he had left Chella.
Staring at the door of his room alone, Marchel had already dropped his tears. There was a faint sound of the cry of a child whom he was very familiar with. The cry that made her heart feel throbbed when she heard it.
Marchel approached the door with Willy trailing behind her. From there, Bu Fifi was carrying while trying to calm Chella who woke up from her sleep. The woman's face twinkled as she turned and saw Marchel standing in the doorway.
"Doctor Marchel, thank God! Chella wakes up and cries to find a doctor. He's been crying since then" said Bu Fifi rubbing Chella's back. "Chella baby, that's Om the doctor's here."
The little girl's cry stopped, but still sounded a hiccup. He turned to the door looking for someone he had been looking for. His eyes had even been puffy from crying for so long. The tiny face immediately sparkled. Asking to be taken down from Bu Fifi's sling. Slowly swinging his weak steps towards Marchel.
Marchel crouched down, stretching out her arms as Chella was in front of her. The man could not hold back his tears, hugging his little daughter. There are no words to describe how happy Marchel was to have found her baby whom she thought was gone.
My son, I'm sorry, son... Can't take good care of you so they separate us like this.
Until a moment passed, Marchel still silently hugged Chella. No words said. Only tears flowed constantly. And that made Ms. Fifi feel surprised. Why the doctor was crying while hugging Chella.
Willy was also moved. See that father and son meeting. The first time seeing Chella after being declared better after a month of treatment in Nicu-room makes Willy sure that Chella is indeed the son of Marchel who was exchanged by Audry.
"Mom Fifi, can we talk to you for a second?" willy said when he saw the look on the confused face of the orphanage's caretaker.
"Yes, Doctor! Of course."
They then left Marchel and Chella together, heading for the living room not far from the room. There Willy explains to Bu Fifi the fact they just discovered. About Chella being actually exchanged for someone irresponsible in the hospital, a few hours after her birth. Also Facts about Marchel and Sheila who are the parents of Chella's birth.
Bu Fifi wiped her tears, happy and at the same time should know that reality. "The inner bond between parent and child is indeed very strong. Chella never wanted to be close to the person she had just met. But the first time she met Sheila, Chella was not willing to part from her. With Doctor Marchel too. When Doctor Marchel left him asleep, he would cry when he woke up and not see it."
"Yes that's right, Mom. And just looking at Chella's face, I'm sure she's really Marchel and Sheila's kid" Willy said, noting that there were similarities between Chella and Marchel.
"Looks not yet. He's still mad at Marchel, so he can't reach her."
"Then I'll call him." Ms. Fifi headed to a telephone plane located on a desk in the corner of the room, about to call Sheila. However, after several attempts, the call was not connected.
"The phone number is off. Maybe Sheila is busy" said Bu Fifi put the phone back on.
"She's not in the hospital either" Willy said.
"Then I'll try to call her home. Sheila might be home." Ms. Fifi immediately grabbed a book and searched Sheila's home phone number. However, a woman who answered did not know the whereabouts of the young woman. "She's not home" Ms Fifi said.

"Chella why are you crying?" marchel asked shortly after releasing his embrace and carrying Chella into his lap. Even the little girl was still very weak and looked paled, so Marchel leaned Chella on her chest.
"You're coming with the Doctor!" answer's plain.
Marchel hugged the little girl again, and then kissed her entire face. I rubbed that little face with love. "Chella wants to see mom, right?"
"Whose mother?" ask Chella not to understand. .
"Chella's Mother. That beautiful sister is Chella's mother." Marchel tries to explain even though Chella looks confused.
"Mother?"
"Yes. And Doctor, Chella's father."
"Dad?" Chella asked again and was answered nodding by Marchel. Of course, the four-year-old boy would not understand about the Doctor Om who had suddenly become his father, and also the beautiful older brother who became his mother.
"Yes, so from now on Chella calls dad's doctor."
"Why?"
"Because the doctor is Chella's father." Slowly, Marchel explained to his son. While Chella still looked confused, making Marchel embrace her again.
Nothing will ever separate us again. After this we'll go get your mom, son. And we can be together again.
