Tonight's dinner Gunawan won't come either. The clock is ten o'clock at night. But Gunawan hasn't come home yet. Not long after the bell rang. No one opens the door. It seems like everyone is asleep.

Rania immediately exited her room to open the door. Gunawan is coming home. His face looks pale. But seeing Rania open the door she was still trying to smile.

''You haven't slept yet, son' said Gunawan slowly. Rania. Then Gunawan went into the house. Not a few steps his legs felt weak. His stomach pain was not restrained anymore. Gunawan fell on the floor. Fortunately, Rania who saw directly held Gunawan's body so as not to really fall.

The longer it's all dark. Cold sweat washed his face.

''Oh no, wake up dad. wake up..'' shouted Rania while patting Gunawan's cheek. For the first time Rania calls Gunawan with her father. But all just between sounding or not the same Gunawan. Then he lost consciousness.

''Mama, grandfather.'' cried Rania while crying. He still holds Gunawan's head on the floor. He repeatedly called Nella and Wiratmaja. For the first time Rania was very scared. He was so afraid of losing Gunawan like losing his mother.

Nella and Wiratmaja immediately approached her. Nella is surprised to see Rania holding Gunawan's head while sitting on the floor.

''What happened?'' wiratmaja was surprised

''Rania doesn't know cake. Suddenly dad fainted, '' Rania replied in a panic.

Nella immediately calls the driver and the housekeeper to help lift Gunawan into her room.

Wiratmaja immediately called their family doctor.

''Is everything going to be okay ma? I'm afraid everything will be like mother'' said Rania while crying anxiously. Nella calms him down immediately.

''Maybe your father's heart relapsed again. So you don't have to worry. Soon the doctor will come Nella replied.

''He is pushing himself too hard at work. He must have forgotten to eat again. Especially with Hendra's problems. Makes it a lot of mind'' said Wiratmaja.

Soon their family doctor arrived. He checked Gunawan's condition. Then he put an infusion.

''Maag Pak Gunawan relapsed again. It seems like he is too exhausted at work. Try for a few days he rested at home'' said the doctor while giving some medicine.

''Is there a more serious problem Doc?'' ask Rania worried. Doctor Andi looked at Rania.

''Are you Gunawan's daughter?'' ask Dr. Andi.

''Yes, I am Rania, '' answered Rania.

''There is no serious problem. Just need a lot of rest. And for a while the food is not hard, '' explained the Doctor.

''Yes doc'' Nella replied.

''Then excuse me Mr. Wiratmaja'' said the doctor.

''Yes thank you Andi'' replied Wiratmaja.

Nella set the doctor Andi in front of the house. Then Nella went back to the room.

''Daddy, just rest first. Let my Gunawan mas take care of'' said Nella.

''Does Grandpa want me to take the room?'' ask Rania.

''No need, for the way to the room grandpa still able'' refused Wiratmaja.

After Wiratmaja leaves, Rania and Nella stay in the room.

''You also rest, Let mama take care of your father'' said Nella softly.

''No, Rania wants to be here until she's a girl' Rania said. Then he took a chair to sit beside Gunawan's bed. Nella is happy to hear Rania calling Gunawan's father.

Rania looked at her father who was still unconscious. His face was starting to look old. Much different from what he saw from the wedding photos of his father and mother. There his father looks very handsome.

''How long we will be together. Will you leave me like Mother. I am now afraid of losing him. Though yesterday-yesterday this hate in the heart is very deep. But seeing it today all that hatred is gone without a trace. Only leaving fear and anxiety'' inner Rania.

He put his head on Gunawan's bed while looking at him. Nella came out of the room to get some drinking water and made Gunawan some porridge. If Gunawan is awake can be directly given medicine and eat porridge.

When Nella again saw Rania fall asleep in a sitting position. Only his head was laid on the bed.

Gunawan started to rumble. First he saw the face of Rania who was asleep. His heart feels warm. Moreover, it was as if he had dreamed of Rania calling him father.

''How can I be like this. What is work more important than health. Until we forget. Do you know how scared Rania was to see the condition of the mas earlier. She cried Nella's scolding.

''Yeah, sorry I didn't know it was going to be like this. There are so many jobs in the office. Candra couldn't get in. And Hendra is busy taking care of his affairs, Gunawan explained as he stroked Rania's hair gently.

''Now the mas eat porridge first. After that, I just took medicine. The work will never end until we die. So you should also know to pay attention to health. I already knew that my maag was bad. Eating late will definitely recur. What mas do not want any longer with Rania'' Nella's nagging while feeding Gunawan porridge.

''Yes I know, tomorrow I will pay attention again to the meal'' replied Gunawan resignedly. She still stroked Rania's hair. Rania is awakened.

Rania looked towards Gunawan who was smiling at her. She cried while hugging him.

''You scared me dad'' said Rania sobbing. Gunawan was surprised to hear Rania's words. Instantly he laughed.

''Haha, look at Nella. My son called me to my father. It turned out that I wasn't dreaming Gunawan shouted while hugging Rania. Rania continued to cry letting go of her sense of sadness.

''Thank you for your affection for receiving father'' Gunawan said as he shed tears. Nella was happy to see them both. Then Rania let go of her embrace.

''Why can you forget to eat. Though my father promised to live a long life with me and make up for my time all this time. But now I don't take care of my own health. Don't you know how scared I was. I even thought you'd catch up with Mom. Fortunately, my mom said that this was because my dad had relapsed. And the doctor said I should rest at home first. So tomorrow I can't go to the office'' Omel Rania. Gunawan and Nella were just stunned to see Rania grumbling. Rania has never said much. He even seemed quiet.

''Haha, he's more chatty than you'' Gunawan laughed happily. Even the pain is no longer felt.

''Why are you laughing, Mom? Does he like being sick?'' tanya Rania pouted.

''Dad willing to be sick more than this as long as you can forgive father'' replied Gunawan happy.

''Hehe, yes. He forgave you. And also been calling me mama''' Javan Nella happy.

''Please baby, you make us happy'' said Gunawan.

Rania smiled. Now he felt all the burden on his shoulders felt light. He feels happy. And he also prayed that his mother would also be happy there.
