17.00 wib
Beautifully standing in front of the lobby, her feet were seen moving playing the attached shoes. His head lowered, he could not hide the restlessness that was in his heart.
He would occasionally raise his head, watching the people passing by.
“Why, he hasn't arrived?” tanya Indah, asking the existence of Atma to himself.
“Huh” heavy breath sounds.
Lovely doesn't know what to call it. He has not yet saved his father's number.
“Ayo” take someone from behind.
Beautiful looking, looking towards the Atma who was behind him. Exquisite eyeballs moved examining every inch of the middle-aged man's body.
Everything he wore looked new and had such a striking color.
“Where does dad look? good isn't it?” atma praised herself.
Beautiful averted her eyes, ignoring every word Atma said to her.
Indah's head lowered again, consciously being the center of attention of others.
“After this, let's have dinner with” said Atma invites Indah.
Lovely to shake, reject it.
“Why? though I want to eat your cooking again” continued Atma said his wish.
“Indah can not go home, still have to keep until tomorrow” is clearly Beautiful.
“Sweetest. For the tepo meal of the day, thank you dad enjoyed it well” said Atma, expressing gratitude.
Dahi Indah frowned, for the first time he heard a thank you from Atma.
“Is this true dad?” beautiful Tanya in his heart.
Tap
Beautiful steps walk backwards, avoiding the touch that Atma gave him.
His head nodded, refusing.
That thing, made Atma's arm back down and he undo his intention to wipe the top of the head Indah.
The trauma he got from his childhood, still stuck in the memory of Beautiful.
Therefore, when the two speak Beautiful always give a distance of several meters and to live one house with Indah has not been able to overcome it.
Trings
Elevator door opens.
Three people walked out from inside the door at the very back of his tall body, his shoulders were the visible plane.
“That, Akbar” murmurs Beautiful.
His eyes met each other, making eye contact.
“Did he ignore it again this time?” beautiful in her heart.
Dugs
Something felt smashed into his heart making Akbar's body sculpt.
Akbar's eyes widened, unable to cover the shock that approached him. Inside his head clashes looking for answers to find out the whereabouts of Atma in the hospital.
Tap
Akbar quickly took a big step walking out and let Indah and Atma get into the elevator.
‘Huh” breath back out of mouth Beautiful.
“You, seriously want to get away from me?" beautiful in a small heart.
“The man who was, it seems like I know him” said Atma.
“Heh?” reply Beautiful, surprised.
“Yes, he's the guy whose hand was broken right?” ask Atma to make sure.
Beautiful forehead again frowned not understanding with the words Atma gave.
“Why do you know him? when did they meet?” Beautiful back to mumbling.
Beautifully staring at herself behind the shadow of the elevator door. her mind wandered back to think of the answer to the speech that came out of Atma's mouth randomly.
##
The sound of Akbar's car door closing.
He leaned his head on the top of the car seat.
Crossing with Atma, making her heartbeat beat fast.
“Does he still recognize her? about what he said that night, did Indah also know about it?” ask Akbar.
Both of his arms are seen holding tightly to the steering wheel.
Wishing what came to his mind was not right.

18.30 wib
Beautiful walking footsteps, on his right arm looks he holds a container of medicine.
“Ahhh” he said, then made his footsteps come to a halt.
“True, that night the two met” said Beautiful considering the events of several years ago.
That night, on the day of Akbar's return from hospital. Lovely to ask her to stay in the cafe for a while.
With the arm still wearing a cast, the forehead wrapped in bandages, Indah invites Akbar to shop for his daily needs.
The return of Indah and Akbar, greeted with the presence of Atma who had been waiting for Indah since earlier. Just like bias, Atma asked for his monthly ration to Indah.
Akbar was there, even he presented a glass of water for Beautiful to calm him.
“That was the first meeting of both. But, why can you recognize Akbar so easily?” It was beautiful to ask questions that he could not answer.
“This medicine” said Indah handed it to Atma who was sitting in the waiting room.
“Drink regularly, until it runs out. Don't, dump” said Beautiful firmly, warned.
Atma nodded, she took over the container that Beautiful handed to her. Then, leave Beautiful without saying a word.
Beautifully twisted her body, turning towards the ward where she was guarding tonight. He was used to the attitude and treatment that Atma always gave him.
everything he does, just leaves bad memories in the mind of Beautiful. Even so, he still tried to continue what he had to do without being disturbed by the small things that disturbed and gnawed at his heart.
“Anton, where is he?” tanya Beautiful's. Today, he had not seen the boy's nose.
"What is today, his day off? or did he take a leave of absence?" beautiful words speak for themselves.
##
An hour passed.
Akbar, the man was still silent in the car that was still parked in the hospital parking lot.
Trng
A notification came into his phone.
His arm moved to pull out the phone from the inside of his pocket.
“Brother” the name is listed on the phone screen.
“Have you got it?" asked Akbar, asking the answer of what he wanted to know.
“Iya, pak” replied the man who always contacted Akbar.
“I've got Info from insider”
“Disease that Mr. Atma suffered, returned relapse. Therefore, he must check every two weeks at regular intervals” he explained.
Akbar nodded, understood.
“She was treated, in the hospital where you worked”
“If you cross paths, just ignore it. Act as if you do not know him” said Brother, reminding Akbar to be ordinary.
He did not want the nervousness that Akbar felt made him, to be missteps and mess everything up.
Akbar re-set his breath.
brother's words were right, shouldn't Akbar be nervous about something that has nothing to do with him at all.
All this time the Atma always met was his brother, not himself.
That night, without knowing it was beautiful. Akbar comes to see Atma and asks her to stay away, go and stop interfering with her daughter's life. Instead he will meet all the needs of Atma from medical expenses to daily expenses.
Through brother Akbar poured the money to be conveyed to Atma. In fact, after he managed to survive his illness. Akbar continued to send benefits to Atma regularly.
Seeing her, still treating Indah in the same way made Akbar's heart and mind change.
With this also Akbar decided to stop sending alimony to Atma.
