"Yes, Auntie will accompany Zaki," replied Airin smiling.

"Alright Aunt. Then Zaki will wait for his younger brother to be born later," replied Zaki excitedly.

"Yes, then I say yes" Leon said to everyone there.

"Alright, be careful" replied Airin, Gara and the others.

A few hours later, Leon and Clara have arrived at Singapore airport. Leon quickly reached into his pocket and contacted Selin, the sister of his mother Clara.

Apparently, Selin had been waiting for the arrival of Leon and Clara outside the airport.

"You.. You're the woman who met me at the bar that night, right?" leon asked, remembering Selin's face.

"Yes, you're right. Come with me to see my brother, "Selin replied, taking Leon and Clara into the car that would take her to the hospital where Gauri was.

With mixed feelings and a racing heart, Leon tries to control himself by turning his attention to Clara, his only daughter.

It didn't take long. A few minutes later, Selin, Leon and Clara arrive at a cancer hospital.

'Did Clara's mom work at this cancer hospital? But, as what?" inner Leon wondered.

"Are you going to wait in the car?" selin asked to see Leon who was still daydreaming.

"Ah yes, sorry I daydreamed," replied Leon immediately down.

"Here, Clara let me just carry her," said Selin taking over Clara from Leon's sling.

After walking and riding the elevator, they finally arrived in front of Gauri's nursery.

"Why are we entering this ward? Does Clara's mom work here?" ask Leon curious.

"Go in first, you'll know everything later" replied Selin opening the door to the room.

Leon's heart pounded even more as he stepped into the hospital room.

His steps stopped right in front of someone who was lying weakly on the hospital bed.

"Ga.. Gauri's? These.. It's Gauri?" said Leon did not expect if the weak lying in front of him was Gauri, his former lover.

Hearing the noise in his room, Gauri opened her eyes slowly and saw a man who had not seen her for a long time.

"Gauri? So then.. So you're Clara's real mother?" leon was really surprised.

"Well, are you here?" gauri asked in a weak voice.

"I.. I'm going to see you Gauri. Her real mother is Clara. Gauri, why don't you tell me you're Clara's real mother?" leon asked again.

"For what? Didn't you just dump me for that woman?" said Gauri who now shed her tears.

"Gauri forgive me. You misunderstood me then.. I never dumped you for any woman. The woman is Gara's lover who is about to commit suicide because her relationship and Gara have ended. That's why I left you in that park that night. And just so you know Gauri, after all my business is done, I'm back to see you in that park, but you're not there anymore. Since then I've been looking for you" Leon said, explaining what really happened the night Gauri was about to reveal her pregnancy to Leon.

Gauri overhears Leon's conversation with someone who makes her think that Leon has an affair that will kill himself for breaking up with Leon.

Leon panics and leaves Gauri alone in the park that night.

Since then, Gauri decided that she would go far away from Leon and take care of her future son alone.

"So.. So that woman isn't your lover?" ask Gauri to make sure.

"It's not Gauri. To me you are the only woman who can melt my heart" Leon said sincerely to make Gauri again shed her tears.

"But now I'm so sick Leon. I won't be long. So I handed Clara to you so she could get some love from a father after I was gone" Gauri said, leaving Leon stunned.

Being too busy discussing his past, he forgot to ask why Gauri could be treated at this cancer-specific hospital.

"Oh yeah, that's what I'm going to ask you about. What are you sick with? Why are you being treated here? Not this..," asked Leon directly answered by Gauri.

"I had Leon's late-stage brain cancer. I won't be able to live much longer" Gauri replied, making Leon's world feel like it's about to collapse.

He did not expect that he would have to meet Gauri when his old love was in pain, and his life was on the verge of death.

"No.. This can't be Gauri. The doctor must be wrong. If you go, what about Clara? Would you leave Clara in this world without Gauri's presence and affection?" said Leon who had shed his tears. His heart is so broken. There was a pain in the recesses of his heart that he could not speak with words. How can, a Gauri who was once very cheerful and jolly, turned out to have this malignant disease.

"The doctor wasn't mistaken Leon. You are the only one who cannot accept this situation. Therefore, find my replacement for Clara. Look for a woman who can accept and love Clara like her own biological child. If you do that, I'll be able to rest in peace" Gauri replied with tears in her eyes.

"Why.. Why do we meet at a time like this Gauri? Why should there be a Clara if in the end you are going to leave us? Why Gauri? You don't know how sick I feel when I see you like this" Leon said, crying bitterly. He hugged Gauri and let go of his cries in the arms of the pale woman.

So did Gauri, she spilled all the feelings she had craved all this time in the arms of the man she loved. The man who gave a little princess who became his spirit in passing through the pain that gnawed at his body.

"Gauri's... I'm going to marry you today, too" Leon suddenly said. Hearing Leon's words, Gauri, who had been crying bitterly in Leon's arms, immediately shut up and digested what the handsome man had just said.

"You.. What did you just say, Leon? You must be kidding, right?" ask Gauri not to believe it.

"No. I'm not kidding. I'm serious Gauri. I'll marry you today too. Gauri you know, from the past until this second, my love for you is still the same as before. Never less, not even a little. So I beg you.. Marry me. Be the queen of my life" said Leon. With tears dripping and a sense of grief in his heart, Leon proposes to Gauri without caring about his illness that could take his life at any moment.
