"How's papa doing, Deck?" vino asked in a panic.
When told if Heru entered the hospital, Vino who was outside the city, immediately returned and rushed to see the state of Heru. He was very panicked and also worried about his father's state. Heru's health was good the day before. Maybe Heru is too tired to face company problems, so until something unexpected like this happens, Vino thought.
Viona approached and hugged her sister tightly. "We wait for the doctor first, Brother," he said he was anxious.
Vino nodded in an uneasy manner. Kissing his sister's temples that look very pale. Viona must be worried about Heru's situation. Similarly, he also panicked and anxious and kept thinking positively if his father would be fine.
Vino breaks his embrace and turns to strengthen Lina who looks chaotic. His mother was the weakest of his two children. Lina was very easy to cry if she was faced with such a worrying situation.
"Sir Heru is conscious and his condition is better. You can see it" said the doctor who had just left on Viona.
Vino helps Lina stand up and goes inside with Viona impatiently after being allowed by the doctor.
Upon entering the VVIP room, Viona was stunned to see Heru's state of weakly lying with his hands wrapped in an infusion hose and breathing apparatus.
It hurts to see the hero who had looked after him from childhood is now in a weakened state. Viona could not say anymore. He immediately approached the bed where Heru was lying.
"Sir …!" Viona hugged Heru who was still lying down. Heru who was already conscious, with his weak hands tried to return the embrace of the beloved princess and smiled faintly.
Actually Heru did not want to be seen by his son and wife in this state. He was embarrassed to look so weak. Shame for not being able to be strong just a little for the sake of seeing his wife's child smile. However, now he even makes his loved ones worry in front of him who is even helpless even if only to embrace family.
His memory reminded him of that sad thing. The incident before he was unconscious in the study. Heru shed his tears because it turned out that the taste of poignancy was still felt. The sadness is still obvious. He is useless as a leader. He's not reliable.
"Papa, why cry?" viona asked anxiously as she broke her embrace and looked up at the face of the father.
He immediately rubbed the corner of Heru's watery eyes with his delicate fingers. "Papa why? Is anyone sick? What's that hurt? Say it! Let me call the doctor."
Hearing her daughter's attentive speech made Heru's chest throb pain. Her tears were getting worse on her cheeks. But she kept smiling at Viona and took off her breathing apparatus. "Papa loves you" he said softly. Viona could only smile and hugged Heru back.
Vino and Lina, who saw this, were very grateful to see Heru's better condition. They let Viona hug Heru longer. Because only Viona can calm Heru at any moment. Viona's child could at least be far from Heru. Even the inner father and daughter of his puppets always felt strong even though they were not together.

Viona painstakingly feeds her father. He was unceasingly smiling as the nosy Heru instead bit the spoon that was fed into his mouth. Viona only nagged short and returned to feed her father attentively.
"Already! Papa's full." Heru closed his mouth and shook his head slowly.
Viona had already sighed in readiness to grumble as her porridge was still half left. But, Heru instead laughed and stroked Viona's hand weakly. His condition has been quite a development even though he has not been treated a day.
"Now take the medicine, yes!"
After he finished helping Heru take the medicine. Coincidentally came Vino and Lina who had just bought some food. Viona asks them to replace her to keep Heru and Viona going to the mosque below. Right next to the hospital. Viona has not prayed Isya because from earlier accompanied Heru who did not want Viona far from him.
Again Viona pleaded with God for all good for the step she had to choose. Honestly, he was still in a dilemma to decide on the offer he had heard a few days ago.
Seeing Heru's condition was alarming after hearing the news of his company, until he was unconscious made Viona even harder to resist.
He could not see Heru slumped like that. Viona has to do everything she can to get her father healthy again. Viona could not bear to see Heru who had always been strong when faced with the attitude to her sister, now lying helplessly.
Looking at it, Viona felt like she was the most useless child. An ungodly child who chooses freedom rather than saving his own family.
But his heart still felt the anxiety to dampen his own ego. Does he have to agree to it?
Still heavy. Viona can only resign herself to the Creator to be given the best clue she has to take. He was convinced that the choice of the Almighty was the best for him, his family, and his father's employees.
Viona returns to her father's room after she is done with the obligation that accompanied her complaint to the Creator. He smiled as he entered the room. Heru was looking at him with a weak lying state accompanied by Lina who was sitting on his right side and Vino who was peeling apples sitting on his left side.
Heru was very grateful to have a family that loved him very much. His happiness is simple. Being able to get together to accompany each other under any circumstances would be more fun if the family he loves stays with him when he is down.
But the guilt in his family never escaped him. Heru felt guilty for not being able to be the head of a good family. But his family still values him as a leader. That was enough for him. He just wanted to see his family smile even though it was bitter.

"Is this not outrageous, sir?" ask the man who has the status of assistant and personal secretary to his employer.
"Forced. I can't be patient anymore. Mr. Pratama always bails time. And I can't wait to marry his son" said the master arrogantly.
"But this is outrageous. Why do you also have to do this? If you want to marry his son, you should be fighting for his heart, not destroying his father's company" the assistant sighed with pity.
The master only laughed a little and shook his head slowly. He's confused too. He should not have been this cruel to Heru Pratama. But how else. Her feelings for Viona that she had felt for a long time, were now back again. That ridiculous feeling made him lose his mind and even do the thing he had never done before, which was to destroy a company.
I don't know where the desire to marry that girl came from. But he was also confused. He also has a woman who clearly has a relationship with him. But, the ridiculous desire that flashed in the recesses of his heart, led him to this greed. He did everything he could to have the girl. I will not let the girl get away from him. Although he knew, if the girl knew the reason she married him, it was certain that the beautiful girl would not easily accept it. Because the reason sounds ridiculous and absurd.
But he promised, if one day the beautiful girl was already his, he would tell the girl everything. Starting from his feelings to his silly desires. Everything he would explain honestly without anything else he covered up.
The master laughed again. He felt crazy to have this intention. Why would he be willing to do this just to have the girl he liked in the past?
Someone must have a problem with him. Otherwise, why would he destroy his own business partner? Though Heru is a partner that he greatly respects and most admired. Their working relationship is also very good. And also his relationship with the girl's sister. Everything's fine. But with his heart he destroyed Heru for something that sounded childish.
"I'm sorry and I promise to fix all my mistakes slowly in the future if he's fully mine" he said heartily.
