"Mother said sister Rio mother and brother Dean are having a fight huh?" Rio's speech made Alika surprised.

"He said it?"

"Yes he said the mother also quarreled with the father, bund... father is what kind of person? Why don't you come see me?" Rio asked with his innocent face.

"Your father is coming soon, don't worry.. Have you seen Brother Dean?"

"It was but just a glance then he'll continue to be taken the same brother Hans"

"Have you met the two sisters?"

"Yes, they say they're Dean's brother's family but not father and mother's"

"You must be confused"

"Not because it was explained by Hans..."

"Good then, now you rest..."

"Yes, mother"

Alika sings a sleeping song for Li and accompanies her to sleep. After Li sleeps Alika sends a message to Johan and Dean, Alika asks them to come see Li and bring her a small gift.

Dean agrees to Alika's request and heads to the hospital after sending Hans and Rio home. Dean buys Li a cell phone and some fruit, when he arrives at the hospital, Dean sees Alika picking up a package online in front of the hospital.

Dean comes to Alika and helps her with her shopping. The two of them entered Li's room together, Alika was surprised because when she entered she saw Li crying in fear in her bed.

Alika dropped her luggage and immediately hugged Li tightly.

"What's wrong? Why?" Alika asked worriedly.

"Dark?" Alika said confused while arguing with Dean.

Dean then turned on the second light in the room until the room became very bright. Li only dared to open his eyes after such a bright light shone on him.

"I'm sorry mom..." Alika said while calming Li who was still frightened.

"He's afraid of the dark and he's night blindness, we should be able to calm him down and keep this room bright" Dean told Alika.

Slowly Alika removed her opener and sat down before Li, clasping her hands tightly. "If you're afraid when it's dark, you have to dare to make your voice so that someone can help you. If you stay silent like that you can stay in the dark for a long time" Alika gave advice.

"Ehm"

Being too frightened it eventually affected Li's health. Seeing Li who was starting to be in pain Alika became panicked and repeatedly pressed the emergency alarm button, the doctor immediately came and checked Li's condition.

Alika and Dean wait outside and then followed by Johan. After a few minutes they are welcome to the doctor.

"It's kind of hard madam.Your son is having a nyctophobic phobia or phobia of the dark, this can make him experience a panic attack while in a place where there is no light and because excessive panic can make his heartbeat irregular and can make him feel pain in the chest, he said, but he also experienced night blindness where he would often lose sight of his sight in a place that lacked light...

It's obviously been a very difficult condition for him. Plus the wound on the head also has not healed completely and can make him experience headaches when he is panicking or scared" said the doctor explained.

"Doctor..I will take good care of him, I was careless because I left him alone but I will not do that again" said Alika full of confidence.

Alika then walked up to Li and stood beside him. "It's okay, don't be afraid" said Alika lirih.

"Sorry mother..."

"Don't apologize, now what matters is that you're okay. It's your father and brother" Alika comforted a sad-looking Li.
