Rico wakes up while everyone is asleep. Time indicates if it is still midnight. The boy rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, half-conscious. He woke up unable to go to the toilet.
Rico sees Dian falling asleep with Nico hugging him. Emi and Lily are no less happy.
Fortunately their room included a VIV so Rico had nothing to fear going out because their own room was already like a private room.
Not having the heart to wake the others, Rico got out of bed to the bathroom. Usually he is accompanied by Emi or Lily who is bigger than him. His small body had a little trouble if it had to go alone.
As of now, Rico had to go to great lengths to reach the water tap in the sink. Amidst her predicament, suddenly someone lifted her tiny body. Rico gasped, surprised to see Nico doing it.
"Why didn't you wake us?" Nico helped her clean her hands.
"Rico doesn't want to bother," he replied lowered his head.
"Can I ask you?" ask Nico. "Do you love Dian's mom?" Staring at Rico who looked back at him.
Rico nodded. "Rico loves her." He's not lying.
Nico doesn't want to ask much. Rico is still a kid for adult questions.
"Why duck?" Nico softened his voice while giving a gentle swipe at Rico's head. "I'm sorry papa scares you," he regretted.
Rico looked up in disbelief. Did he not hear wrong?!
"Emi, Lily and Rico. You're all papa's children. No need to avoid anymore. I'll be your father too."
Dian's right. The kids know nothing. Rico just needs to be persuaded and treated fairly. Their hearts are holy. They learn what they hear and see. They need not be afraid while giving good things.

When she opened her eyes, Dian saw a scene that made her lips curl a smile. Nico in his work suit was busy feeding the three boys nearby. They laugh and joke with each other. As for Rico who was so quiet now looked so comfortable.
"Mama let's get up. Lily's out" exclaimed Lily at her mother.
Nico smiled, put down the dinner plate and approached his wife. "Lily's been allowed to leave. His health has improved."
"We live together, right?" persuade Nico to beg. He doesn't want to be separated anymore.
"We get the kids' stuff done first. Stay with us for a while," Dian bargained.
"No problem." Nico approves.
Soon the door of the room opened suddenly, revealing a worried-looking adult woman. Serena immediately approached Lily who was still sitting on the cage.
"What's going on? Why is he being treated?!" check on Dian while checking Lily's condition.
"Lily's fine, Aunt Sera," Lily said.
"Where do you know that? I didn't tell anyone." Dian rose from her sleep.
"Rehan told me. He knows from Emi." The one called his name immediately lowered.
Dian sighed softly. He also had no intention of keeping it a secret. Lily only had a fever, so there was no need to trouble many people.
"That's it, no need to worry. Brother see he is healthy," said Dian bluntly.
"Look at what you said! Very plainly speak of you. If my son hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known Lily was sick. Waiting for you to talk? Hmh! I'd rather wait for the discount at the boutique."
Serena began to murmur at Dian without seeing the surrounding circumstances. The one who was rumored just rolled his eyes panted. Not once twice did Sera act like a mother scolding her child.
The three boys covered their ears with their hands. Thank goodness Dian doesn't talk much like Serena. They are concerned about Rehan who may often be the victim of his mother.
"Why close your ears! Listen if the parents explain," Serena exclaimed to the children.
"Mama says listen good" Emi said.
"So I'm not good!" Sera ruffled waist. The three in unison put together his index finger and thumb. "Slightly."
"Hey!" All three giggling.
"Mom and son are the same!"
Serena turned around to look for Dian, but she was surprised to see Nico holding a smile. Sera was speechless. He saw Dian who was just ordinary.
"Make me Nico, Dian's husband." Nico realized his surprise.
"You?"
"We decided to be together. With or without anyone's consent!" press Nico, bring Dian her chest. Do not let this woman named Serena become a hindrance.
"I don't care about that. As long as my family is happy, no problem." Sera smiled faintly looking at him. He could see that love in Nico's eyes.
"But you should know Dian's not a gentle woman. You're not afraid he'll kill you later?" his lips.
"Sister!" hiss Dian was about to reply, but Nico held her body to stay in his arms.
"I'm ready for all that. Dying in the hands of my loved ones is not a problem for me. I'm willing to accept everything that's on him" replied Nico sincerely. Dian and Serena were transfixed by her confession. Dian smiled silently. Is this a gift of patience? Or is God answering his prayers one by one?
Serena immediately chuckled with a drop of tears falling on the corner of her eyes. He laughed as he rubbed the water slowly.
"I used to hate you for letting Dian and her own son go for as long as he disappeared."
"Sir ..." Serena raised her hand, a silent sign.
"Hopefully you're really sorry or I'll curse you for life" Sera stared inside the couple.
"I will make her the happiest woman in the world. Thanks for taking care of her." Serena nodded, then looked at her sister. "Dian?"
"We'll start all over again" Dian said.
