"This is your house?" Kiano was stunned staring at the luxurious mansion that was in front of him.

"Other times, it's almost maghrib. It just so happens to be a taxi." Kiano stopped the taxi that passed in front of him. "I am first!" the taxi drove as soon as Kiano got in. And Cleo pushed her bike inside.

"What exciting!" said Kianwhen his car came out of the Cleo housing complex.

"Why is the motor being pushed, Non? A strike?" ask bi Ita when you see Cleo.

"No." she replied.

"Continue?" bi Ita was confused.

"What are you thinking?" vincent asked when he saw Adam daydreaming.

"How much longer do I have?" it was as if he was asking himself.

"I told you not to think about it too much. Just enjoy your time with Cleo." she replied.

"Let's try to be in my position" he said.

"Come on! I know you're not that weak." Vincent gave him some spirit.

"I'm not afraid of death. What I fear is that my daughter will be lonely. How will he live in this cruel world?" he looked out the window.

"You know? Your daughter is so strong, I'm sure she's capable of surviving." Adam looked at him.

"How did you know?"

"I have to find out what my son-in-law's gonna be like, right?" Vincent smiled faintly.

"You ...?" he looked at her sharply.

"I'm just investigating. And, I think he fits Andreas perfectly." They threw smiles at each other.

"I have to check on the other patients." Vincent then asks the nurse to look after Adam.

"Sus, can you take me to the park?" her door.

"Of course, sir!" answer the nurse on duty. Adam looked around him, he took his cell phone and called home.

"How, Cleo?" ask him on bi Ita.

"Miss has gone to school, sir" he replied.

"Is everything okay?" tanyakanya.

"You don't have to worry. How's your condition?" bi Ita since yesterday was so worried about him.

"I'm good. Please take care of Cleo!" the message before ending the call. When going to save his phone, accidentally someone nudged his hand so that the phone fell. Adam tried to grab it, but a hand had already taken the phone. "Thank you!" he said when his phone was propped up on him. Adam raised his head and saw a young man wearing a white coat with a bule face standing in front of him. 

"Are you okay?" ask Andreas to him.

"Well, I'm good." she replied.

"Let me help." Andreas helped shift his wheelchair to the seat at the park.

"Thank you, Doc!" the answer.

"Together, Sir. Where's your family?" andreas asked because he did not see anyone accompanying him.

"I'm here by myself. It just so happened that the nurse who drove me was going to the bathroom" he replied. Andrew sat next to Adam.

"Do you have no family?" tanyakanya.

"I only have a daughter" she replied, she kept looking at Andreas.

"Then, where is he?" tanyakanya.

"He's at school. Right now, he's in 3rd grade High School." Adam smiled remembering his daughter.

"You must love him very much" Andreas said.

"Of course, he's all I've got." Andreas was confused because suddenly the look on his face changed.

"What's going on?" I don't know why Andreas felt sorry to see the man next to him.

"My time with him is not much. I don't know if tomorrow I can still see it or not" he said slowly. His face looks gloomy.

"You have to stay up. As long as you keep trying, I'm sure God will definitely give you more time." he replied, Adam smiled at his words.

"Thank you, son!" Andreas was stunned, only this time there was a patient calling him that.

"It's okay" he replied.

"August, Doc!" he looked at Andreas there. Andreas just smiled.

"We're back in the room, sir?" ask Adam.

"Good, Sus. I'm ahead, Doc. Nice to meet you." said Adam sincerely. He was very happy to meet Andrew. Without him introducing himself, Adam could have known that he was Vincent's son. Because his face is very similar to Vincent as a young man.

"You don't despair" he said before Adam left.

"Lo know that patient?" asked Yuda, who had been watching them since.

"Not really, why?" askalanya.

"He was a patient of dr. Vincent. End-stage lung cancer." Andreas looked surprised. "But, as long as he's here, none of his family has ever been seen. It seems he kept it a secret from them." Andrew said nothing. "Cass, where are you going?" ask Yuda when he sees her standing.

"UGD." he replied.

"Hey! Cassano, wait for me!" Yuda ran after him. At Giant Hospital, Andreas is better known as the doctor Cassano. Moreover, many women were glorifying her, so she was nicknamed Casanova. In fact, his girlfriend alone did not have.

"Nay, yuk's canteen!" as soon as the break bell rang, Cleo immediately came to Nayla's desk. Nayla did not say anything, her face looked sour.

"Nayla, come!" take Sandra. Nayla stood up and left Cleo confused.

"What's wrong with her?" asked Mutia who had just approached him.

"Come away!" answer Cleo.

"Cantin, Yuk!" Mutia pulled her hand. When he reached the cafeteria, Cleo saw Nayla mingling with Kiano and Sandra. He and Mutia looked for an empty table and sat down together. Soon their orders came.

"Lo's got a problem with him?" ask Mutia again.

"I know you don't." she replied.

"Certainly? Why has his attitude changed?" Cleo shrugged her shoulders.

"Hi, Cleo!" suddenly Kiano approached him.

"Hi!" the answer. Kiano immediately sat down next to him. 

"Why not join Nayla?" tanyakanya.

"I'm late for the cafeteria." Mutia's eyes widened upon hearing Cleo lie.

"They're getting closer." Cleo looked towards Nayla and Sandra.

"Yes" he answered.

"I'm happy, there's finally no more bullies in our school." Kiano smiled proudly. Thanks to her, Sandra and Nayla returned. Cleo said nothing.

"Look at that, he's approaching Kiano instead." Leony is warming up to Nayla.

"Well, you know what Kiano is like. Every girl has a crush on him too. Aye, Nay?" Sandra nudged Nayla's arm.

"Well, i-iya. I'm first yeah!" Nayla stood up and left them. Before coming out of there, Nayla paused for a moment and stared at Cleo. After that he ran away from the canteen. Sandra and her friends laughed. Add to the atmosphere of the canteen.

"I told you, she must be jealous" Sandra told them.

"Aren't you jealous?" ask Stela. Sandra looked towards him. "Sorry, sorry!" said it.

"Nayl ...! Nay, wait!" Cleo managed to catch up to him.

"What's wrong?" Nayla was cold to him.

"Why you?" cleo asked as he watched his attitude change.

"I'm fine." she replied.

"But why are you avoiding me? Did I make a mistake?" tanyakanya.

"Don't pretend you don't know." Nayla let go of her hand and ran away from Cleo.

"Explain first, what's my fault?" Cleo managed to catch up to him.

"You said we were friends? But, what kind of friend snatches his own best friend's bluff?" Nayla looks upset, it's a good thing that it's school hours away, and they're in the park. So that no one hears their quarrel.

"What do you mean?" Cleo's confused.

"Not to be naive! Yesterday I saw you come out of the cinema with Kiano. Don't you know I like him? But, you're walking with him behind me." Nayla said what she wanted to say.

"Nay, you misunderstood me!" answer Cleo. "Me and Kiano ..."

"Easy! I don't want to hear any of your excuses." Nayla ran away leaving him alone. Cleo stared at his departure with a sad feeling.
