"Dad! It's Cleo!" Cleo repeatedly mentioned that to Adam. But Adam had no reaction at all. His hose-mounted mouth was unable to answer his call. Likewise with his hands, no longer able to caress his daughter. Like he does every night in secret.
"Calm down! You must be strong." Cleo could only answer Vincent with a cry.
"Come, let your father rest. You better rest too." Vincent took her out of there.
"Can I stay here, Doc?" ask him with a sob.
"There's no point in you being here. Let us take care of your father." Vincent said.
"But, Doc ....?" Cleo looked back at Adam.
"Cleo, be strong! Adam needs you. If you're sick, who's gonna take care of him?" Cleo realized, she agreed to Vincent's speech. After leaving Adam to the nurse on duty, they walked out.
"Miss!!" bi Ita who saw him coming out immediately hugged him.
"Rest, I've got one room for you" said Vincent.
"No, Doc, I want to stay here." Cleo refused.
"Please, you take care of him!" vincent's message to bi Ita. bi Ita nodded, after which Vincent left from there.
"Bi, tell me! Why can you be like this? Why are you keeping all this from me?" Cleo demanded an answer from him. Right now what Cleo knew, only bi Ita could explain what happened.
"All this happened when Miss was 3 years old. At that time Mr. had a bloody cough, after further examination, you got the bad news." Cleo was stunned to hear all that.
"But why did you keep it a secret from me?" ask Cleo.
"Master doesn't want the lady to be sad. She wanted the lady to grow up to be a strong and independent child. That's why all this time, master behaved like he was ignoring the lady. Auntie knows how she feels. Master loves you so much, miss." Tears fell on both eyes.
Cleo was getting worse, she did not expect that what Adam had been doing for her own good. He was wrong, all this time he had hated Adam so much.
"Already, Non! Don't be like this. You want the lady to stay strong." Cleo was still sobbing. Andreas was glued to his place. At first he wanted to go to the ICU to see Adam's condition. But, seeing Cleo cry, made her undo her intentions.

"Nay, I'm going first!" aisha said to Nayla.
"Do you have to keep working at Sandra's house? Can't you just stop?" Aisha looked at him.
"Why talk like that? You'll know that from the beginning my mother worked there." he replied.
"But that's for Nay's school. Now that Nay has graduated from High School, Nay can help you make money" he said.
"Darling, you're going to have to go to college. You are in the right college, let the mother who is looking for money. It's my job." obviously.
"But, Nay doesn't like it, she works at Sandra's house." Nayla still stands by her stance.
"Nay, don't be like that. We owe a lot to Sandra's family. You could go to Favorite High School because of Sandra's parents. So, you can't stop from there.
"Why can't you understand? I'm sick of hearing Sandra say bad things about mom." Nayla looks upset.
"Sandra's? What did he tell you?" Aisyah looks pale.
"She said mom was having an affair with her dad." Aisyah staggered a little. "Mom is okay?" tanyakanya.
"Mom's fine." she replied.
"Mother, tell me that's not true. Sandra lied?" Nayla asked for an answer from him.
"Here, I don't want to argue about this anymore. Mom go first!" Aisyah opened the door and left immediately.
"Why is mom weird? What are you trying to hide?" Nayla guessed Aisyah's attitude that seemed to ignore her.
"Mas, we have to talk" Aisyah said when she arrived at Panji's office.
"What's up, honey?" pennants greeted him with a friendly hug.
"Sandra told my daughter about our relationship." her face pouted.
"Good! That way your daughter will know and our wedding will be attended by them." Panji looks relaxed responding to his complaints.
"But, Mom, what if Nayla gets angry and rejects you?" it was to his greatest worry, seeing the rejection from his daughter. While he was already impossible to retreat. His relationship with Panji has gone too far.
"That's not gonna happen. He won't have the heart to see you sad." Aisyah sat on her lap and Panji twirled her hair.
"When do you want to play with cats like this? Aren't you tired of this? Look at! You're always this pretty when you're with me. But, when I drove you home, you were like ashes up." Aisyah confirmed her words. He was also tired of constantly pretending in front of Nayla.
"Let him know! He also had to try to get close to Sandra. Because after all, they'll be brothers." Aisyah hooked her arm around Panji's neck.
"I love you, Mom!" he said. then******* lip Panji. The banner that got the fresh breeze did not waste the opportunity. He immediately kissed her. The longer, Panji's kiss demands deeper. Their tongues are intertwined. Panji pressed Aisyah's body towards him and Panji's action did not get there. The banner pulled a little Aisyah's dress, and her hands began to swarm in there. Hear the ****** that came out of Aisyah's mouth. Without leaking his kiss, Panji lifted Aisyah's body towards the room not far from her desk. Panji opened the door and then closed it with his left foot.

"Good morning!" greet Vincent as he sees Cleo sitting next to Adam.
"Morning, Doc." she replied in a weak voice, and my eyes.
"Sorry, miss, the doctor will check the patient's condition" said the nurse on duty.
"Please!" Cleo shifted to the back. Vincent begins to check on Adam. Occasionally he monitored the numbers on the monitor and also the infusions attached to his hands. Vincent continued reading Adam's progress overnight.
"What's my dad's condition, Doc?" ask Cleo after Vincent finishes checking it out.
"Can we talk?" tanyakanya.
"Of course." Clei nodded in agreement.
"Then come with me!" Cleo followed Vincent out of the ICU room and walked to the coffee shop inside the hospital.
"What do you want to order?" ask Cleo.
"1 esspreso" he answered.
"You should have breakfast too. Coffee is not good for you." Vincent was paying attention to her. "Rainbow fruity Waffles 2" he told the waiter.
"I'll drink, Doc." refused Cleo.
"You must eat, look at your body!" Cleo didn't say anything else.
"How's my dad doing, Doc?" Cleo still questioned the same thing. Vincent exhaled heavily.
"I can no longer cover it. You should know that Adam's condition is very bad at the moment. The cancer is difficult to metastasize to both his lungs and also to the liver" he explained.
"What does the doctor mean?" Cleo asked because she did not understand.
"Excuse me!" their chatter stopped as the waiter came to bring their order. After he finished arranging, he immediately left the table.
"Eat first! Don't let you get sick." Cleo followed his orders. He began to taste the waffle which was studded with pieces of fruit and did not forget to combine with honey.
"So, what did the doctor mean?" cleo asked who was curious about what Vincent had mentioned. Vincent put down his turkish coffee cup.
"So initially cancer cells were only found in his left lung. But, now the cancer cells have expanded to both his legs and also to Adam's heart. Cleo was unable to say anything more. This news was like a lightning strike to him.
"So you mean, your chances of living are very small?" finally his consciousness returned.
"Yes." the water's back flowing. "Is there no other way to save my father?"
"He has been fighting for too long. Actually his body was no longer able to withstand all this. He survives, just for you." Cleo raised her head and looked into those blue eyes so deeply.
"If I knew what you've been through all this time, maybe I'd be the best daughter for you." He blamed his attitude on Adam.
"You've been the best princess for her. He's so proud of you. Adam always praised your cleverness." replied Vincent.
"Did dad tell you all that?" tanyakanya.
"of course! My relationship with your father wasn't just a relationship between a doctor and a patient. But, your bond has been established since we were young."
"Is that true?" tanyanya could not believe it. Cleo never knew Vincent.
"Your father and I are like family. And, before he's like this, he's already entrusted you to me. "When are you ready to go to London?" Cleo was surprised that Adam knew about London.
"W-how does the doctor know?" Cleo stared intently at him. "Actually, how close is your relationship?" tanyakanya.
"From now on you can call me, Uncle. Because, from now on it's my job to look after and take care of you, just like I promised him." Vincent smiled.
"What are you doing with that little boy?" Andreas is confused to see the interaction between his papa and Cleo.
