Shien blinked, trying to open his eyes as he regained his consciousness. His eyes narrowed, adjusting the incoming light in the predominantly white room with that characteristic disinfectant odor.

“Hai.” Greet a tall man in a white coat standing in front of an infusion pole. His large hand seemed to be injecting something into the clear liquid.

“Udah wake up?” He asked, he smiled a warm smile as soon as Shien's eyes opened perfectly.

Not immediately answering, the girl shook her eyes blankly while remembering what happened last time before she ended up in the hospital room.

Shien held his head in a pained manner accompanied by a small ring of flashbacks as he and Shanna were in the complex park spinning like a movie.

Not just his head. Her heart ached again remembering Shanna's words back then.

“You should already know when it is time to go to the hospital.” Doctor Nathan sounds like someone who's nagging. His gaze stared straight at the infusion flow rate regulator which he was adjusting his speed.

While Shien who heard it only snorted bitterly. He had just woken up, but the doctor was already nagging him. Basic chatty.

“Your head hurts?” Doctor Nathan then approached Shien and placed his palm on the girl's smooth forehead.

Shien glancing. That's not the right order. The doctor should ask about the situation first. Huo.

“Aching neck.” Sahut Shien while rolling his eyes lazy. Doctor Nathan snorted, but not realizing it, he did not want to have a fight with the recently sober Shien.

“Your temperature has not come down. No wonder your head hurts.” Doctor Nathan muttered to himself.

Shien just kept silent. He remembered that moment when he was rained. He also had a fever in addition to his heart attack.

“By the way, how long have I been here?” Shien asked in a hoarse voice. Shien recalled, yesterday was still afternoon, but he had no idea how long he had been in the hospital. One hour, one day, or one week. Because before, Shien had been unconscious for almost a week.

Doctor Nathan then pulled up a chair and sat down beside Shien's bed so they could talk more casually.

“One.” Doctor Nathan has one index finger.

“Jam?” Connect Shien.

Doctor Nathan shook his head. “One day one night, twenty four hours.” Clearly then.

“And now it's late afternoon again.” Dr. Nathan's ambush seemed to know what the girl was about to say when Shien almost opened his mouth.

Shien nodded slowly. Then the silence happened after that.

Shien then circulated his gaze throughout the room, looking around for someone to accompany him. Papa, Mama, or Shanna the older sister.

Shien was getting used to seeing their faces as soon as he woke up in this all-white room. So, as he did not find them or any of the three were there, Shien felt a little, err. Shien did not want to be alone anymore.

“Pak Sendy is out for a while. He said he'd pick up the phone. If Miss Risa, she said she would take a change of clothes to home.” Once again, Nathan's doctor managed to read what the beautiful, snow-faced girl in front of him was thinking.

Shien exhaled a sigh of relief hearing that. It was undeniable that Shien still held fear in his little heart, afraid that Papa and Mama would again ignore him.

“You have been sick a lot lately?” Doctor Nathan begins to interrogate, his hand pressing the remote control of the electric patient's bed to make Shien's position more comfortable.

“Hmm.” The girl's voice was short.

“Can be three to four times in a day.” Imbuh Shien, be frank about his condition lately.

“You should come to the hospital if you already know like that, Shienna.” Omel doctor Nathan. He has repeatedly reminded his patients to come to the hospital immediately if symptoms of a heart attack appear more often, but Shien always ignores his advice.

If the patient is divided into several types. So, Nathan's doctor made sure Shien was a recalcitrant patient instead of a submissive one.

“But it's okay after a short break and taking pain medication.” Refute Shien. “Not taking medicine is also okay.” The impact in the heart.

“And it's not proper handling. You yourself know very well.” Dr. Nathan sprayed, making Shien silent can not fight his words. The girl could only bite her lower lip while glancing at Doctor Nathan timidly.

The sound of the door opening from the outside diverted their attention, and the two turned towards the door.

Seen by Papa, his smile immediately expands when he saw the youngest daughter was already sitting leaning on the bed of his patient. Doctor Nathan then moved from his seat and slightly bent his body as an expression of greeting and respect for the middle-aged man.

Papa then walked up to Shien's bed and asked Nathan for his condition. The young doctor then replied that Shien was fine now and needed to get treatment for several days in the hospital.

“And there is one more thing I have to say. . .” Doctor Nathan looked at Papa and Shien alternately. Instantly the atmosphere became more serious. Both Papa and Shien hope that what Nathan's doctor will tell you is good news, such as getting a donor or Shien's heart disease miraculously healed. They were anxiously waiting for Nathan's doctor to continue his sentence.

“I will add some more medicine for Shien.” Doctor Nathan continued, causing Shien to exhale in disappointment. Likewise with Papa, but the man did not show it while still putting on an expression as calm as possible.

“I don't want to!” Shien exclaimed suddenly, and for the first time he rebelled. Usually, he would follow any way Nathan's doctor treated him. “I already have a lot of medicine to take. And without taking any medicine, the pain can also disappear on its own.”

“SHIENNA.” Shouted Papa angry, he did not like to hear the rejection of his son.

Shien was clearly surprised to hear Papa suddenly shout. “Lho, why is Papa angry?” His protest then in an annoyed tone.

“Shien, Papa you're just worried.” Nathan's doctor advised him. But, Shien simply threw away his gaze with his face bent wryly.

“Then, I'll excuse you.” Nathan's doctor said he would add medicine to Shien.

The atmosphere was so quiet after the departure of Doctor Nathan. Papa chose to leave from before Shien and stood by the window, looking out with a blank look.

While Shien was just speechless sadly. In his heart he wondered, how much more time is left? It is very clear the meaning of the addition of the drug to describe the current condition of his heart.

Until an hour passed, the atmosphere in the VIP treatment room was still as still as uninhabited. Neither Papa nor Shien, neither of the two took the initiative to open their voices first, as there was a cold war there.

Shien stared at the back of Papa who had been still trembling in his position ever since.

Biting his lower lip with a heavy sigh, Shien extended his foot to the cold floor, venturing to Papa with one hand pushing his pole.

“Pa. . .” Call him doubtful as soon as he stands beside the man who has always been a superhero to all the children in this world.

Papa turned his head, his usual calm face looked very sad. His faintest smile could not even hide his sadness.

“I’m sorry for being a ***.” Shien said, apologizing for his childish attitude earlier which made his Papa angry. “Sorry I got mad.” Its effects.

Papa smelled his smile, he apologized to the youngest girl. “Papa also apologizes for not being able to do anything for you.”

The middle-aged man said in a sad tone. Saddened at not being able to do anything about Shien's condition. He can only pin his hope on God as a healing deed.

“I know the feeling of Papa.” Shien then hugged Papa from the side.

“My heart is weak since childhood, definitely makes Papa worry.”

Papa was silent without acknowledging, he just smiled bitterly with both eyes that looked shiny.

“I. .” Shien hung up his sentence for a moment to take a breath. “Will take all the medicine.” The girl then pulled away and showed Papa a faint smile, trying to calm the middle-aged man down.

Papa's eyebrows are raised next to the folded forehead. “What do you want? Papa can give you anything. Even if you want to ask Papa to take the stars in the sky, Papa will do it.” Asked Papa while joking, thus making Shien snort amusedly.

Shien sighed, then closed his eyes, as if what he was about to ask for was something difficult to say. “I want to know. . .” Shien stopped his words as he regained his senses. Crazy, since when did that desire to get married cross his head? But, she did want to marry Sky. Shien wanted to spend the rest of his life with Sky. Ahh, but the request to get married was too mainstream after Shien thought again.

“Ya?” Papa frowned confused because he saw his son was silent with his eyes closed.

Shien hissed softly as he opened his eyes. “I want to climb the mountain.” Error later. “I want to see sunrise from a height.”

But, his request that one was also not wrong. Seeing the sun rise from a high place is one of the things written on his wish list.

“Gak will easily reach the top with your short legs.” Ledek Papa who saw Shien's height was no higher than him.

Hearing that, Shien again felt sad, but did not show it. Shien knew, Papa was just comforting him. And in reality, Shien would indeed not be able to climb to the top of the mountain. His body will not be able to.

“No problem. Papa can carry me.” Reply Shien, making Papa smile amusedly.

“Anything for you. . .” And along with his words that were thrown, came an idea to realize the wishes of his son.

“So, Papa really want to make sure I see sunrise?” Shien asked with a look of disbelief.

“Yep. Papa knows a better place than the top of the mountain. We can see the sunrise that can even be seen only a short distance away when we are there.” Father confidently.

“Where is it?” Ask Shien curiously.

“Reclaration.” Papa replied wittyly, making Shien snort to hear it.

“Papa. . .” Call Shien after a moment of silence.

“I. . , dear Papa.” Shien said with great difficulty. Three magical words that he always wanted to express as an expression of love to his parents finally ejected as well. I think it's embarrassing. But, Shien felt relief in his heart after he said that.

“And if there was another life after this, I would like to be Papa's son again in my next life.” Said Shien earnestly, so that makes Papa touched and also sad to hear it.

“Papa also want to remain your Papa in the next life.” Reply Papa, then hugged the fragile body of his daughter.

In the evening, Shien continued to exhale boredom on his patient bed. While in the hospital, he was not allowed to do anything. In fact, Shien is eager to work on his new book that has not been completed.

Tonight, only my mother will be with him. And the middle-aged woman was even busy watching television shows that she liked while occasionally grumbling, then swearing at the actors and actresses who played in the film she watched. A mother-mom movie that contains actors and husbands who do not know themselves, whose plot is actually the same.

It seemed, Shien was tired of seeing Mama watching the show, especially when my line crying from the distinctive voice of Singer Rosa was so beautiful, Shien wanted to turn off the television, so she wanted to turn off the television, that means the film has reached a climax and it is certain that Mama will urgency herself made.

Back to breathing bored. Shien's gaze then glared blankly. Had Shanna been here, Shien wouldn't have been this bored. Maybe now he and his twin brother are having a small fight about something that is not as important as usual.

However, it was a pity that Shanna was not around. He didn't even visit her at all or just ask her about the news via cell phone.

Papa and Mama said that Shanna was busy at her tutoring. But, Shien was sure the reason for Shanna's absence wasn't because of that.

Shien looked down sadly. How does he fix things? Shien did not want the annoying but fun things he used to do with his brother to just disappear. Shanna is his only brother, Shien does not want to lose him. But, Shien also did not want to lose the Sky.

No. gabe. Letting go of Heaven is not the only way to repair his relationship with Shanna.

Soon enough, the sound of knocking on the door distracts Mama and Shien. They're looking. As the door opened wide, they found the figure of Heaven standing there with an expanding smile and both hands full.

Each hand holds a bouquet of different types of flowers, a Rose flower in his right hand and an Orchid flower in his left hand. Not to forget a small paper bag hanging on his right arm.

The man greeted Mama as kindly and courteously as ever.

“Yeah, you're so excited, Lang. Flower sales?” Mama asked softly after she fixed her seat that was originally squawking on the sofa.

“Wahh, if I sell flowers, auto all species of flowers in this world extinct aunt. You see if the handsome people who sell, must sell hard.” Sahut Langit joking.

Shien who heard it just chipped. This Heaven's confidence level was completely above normal.

Another case with Mama, the middle-aged woman even chuckled to hear him. “Can you say.”

“Make Aunty.” The sky handed over a bouquet of Orchids to Mama.

“Kok loved to Auntie?” Mom asked, but still received the flowers.

“It was as a thank you to me that Auntie gave birth to Shien and passed down Auntie's genes until she could be that pretty.” Sky replied as he glanced at Shien using the tail of his eyes. However, Shien instead put on an expression like he wanted to vomit hearing Sky's words. The king of gombal.

Different from Mama who even blushed. “Know that the beautiful Shien is a derivative of Auntie.” Then inhale the flowers that give off a fragrant smell.

“Know dong, Aunt. Everyone can see too. Miss Universe lost, deh, same Aunt.” Sky Spoken. Uhh, it felt like Shien wanted to stuff the man's mouth with an orange on the nightstand.

“Ahh, overload.” Mama shook her hands shyly.

“Padah, Aunt knows. It's just a bribe, right, so you can be together with Shien?” Then Mama squinted her eyes suspiciously.

While the sky only grinned wide while scratching his nape that did not itch. “But Aunt is really pretty, kok.”

“Your mouth, tuh.” Mama pointed at the mouth of Heaven with her bouquet of flowers. “It looks like your mother mostly ate honey during your pregnancy. Eat it as a sweetness like gini.”

“Haha, Aunt can aja.” The Sky while chuckling.

Exhaling quickly, Mama then got up from her seat after she placed the bouquet of Sky-given flowers on the table.

“OK, again. Your bribery worked. Auntie Permitin you're both Shien. Anyway, Auntie also does not want to be a goat congek here.”

The sky smiled happily to hear it. Aunt Risa is really understanding.

“But next time you strike something more expensive. Pack a Hermes bag, for example.” Canda Mom.

The sky that heard it chuckled before then he said. “What aja for Mama-in-law.”

Mama who heard it just snorted amusedly, then passed from before the sky to give the two young people a chance to spend time together for a while.

“Ohh, yes.” Mama who had just grabbed the door handle turned back to remind something. “Content you time during Aunt spending a cup of coffee in the coffee shop.”

“Lho, really soon, Tan?” Sky Protest.

“You bribe just use flowers doang, yes time your aunt for a long time.” Mama replied jokingly. The sky pretended to put on a sullen face hearing him.

No. gabe. Mom didn't really mean it with her words. However, she could not possibly let her daughter alone linger with a man who was not yet her husband.

Mama still have to be vigilant and should not be too liberating because the style of dating children today is different from the time it used to be. He knows very well that, considering the many cases of married by accident out there that seem to have become a culture, not a problem anymore.
