I love her so much, Dad. Hugely. Tell him, and papa loves him. Hasn't she never felt affection, papa. Say, Dad, you love and love him. Tell me the truth, pa. Bring Nanda back, pa! Gathan please! Bring Nanda back." Lirih Gathan who has now collapsed to the floor while resting under the feet of Doni who joined in crying bitterly saw the condition of the child and his daughter-in-law.

Doni immediately walked to Nanda's left side and clasped his fingers tightly. Doni bent his knees to position his face parallel to Nanda's head.

"She, it's papa, son! It's papa. Awake, darling. Miss you papa. Forgive papa's mistake, son. Papa was really sorry for ignoring Nanda. Papa really regretted being rude and not acting like a father to his son. I'm sorry papa, son. Wake up Nda, papa kangen. Your husband misses you too. Look, your husband is ugly when he cries. You must be funny to see it, Nda. Ah, papa must be looking ugly too now. Awake baby. Doesn't Nanda want to see you again? Doesn't Nanda want to see papa? Awake baby. Forgive wrong and khilaf papa all this time. Let papa spend the rest of papa's life pampering you, son. Let papa make amends for all papa's mistakes. Please son, wake up. Please wake up, baby wake up, we all miss you. We all love you." lirih Doni with eyes that returned wet with tears.

Meanwhile, Nanda who was walking hand in hand with her sister suddenly stopped her steps. He seemed to hear his name mentioned many times. He raised his head trying to sharpen his hearing. His eyes rolled here and there looking for the source of the sound, but he never found it.

"Sir Nanda, why stop?" asked her sister when she saw Nanda stop walking.

"Have you heard the voice of someone calling you by the name?" nanda and her sister asked. "Mama?" Nanda turned his gaze to Pomegranate.

"That may be just your feeling." said Pomegranate to make Nanda confused. Then they went back on their journey.

'Nda, it's papa, son! It's papa. Awake, darling. Miss you papa. Forgive papa's mistake, son.'

The voice that called out his name again rang out, but this time his voice was different from the one before.

'Nda, it's papa, son! It's papa. Awake, darling.'

Nanda stopped his steps again. Nanda closed his eyes and sharpened his hearing.

'Papa .. ' murmured Nanda with her eyes closed.

Nanda's eyes opened wide. That voice, the voice of someone she missed so much. That voice, that voice ...

"Papa .. "grept Nanda with sparkling eyes. "Ma, that's papa. Papa call Nanda, ma. Papa says papa misses Nanda." he added.

"You must have misheard, Nda. Papa never loved you. Papa never misses you. Come on, you better go with mama and dick!" bring Pomegranate.

"No ma, that's papa's voice. There's a voice of Gathan too. They called Nanda, ma. They need Nanda."

"Mama and Adek also need you, Nda."

'Nda, wakeup! We all miss you. You all love you.'

Nanda is confused, on the one hand he misses and loves his mother and sister. On the one hand, he missed his father. This time his father called himself a father. Something she missed and dreamed of.

Looking at the dazed Nanda, the Pomegranate approached and clasped his hand.

"Go home, baby. This isn't your place. That's where your real home is. Forgive me for blocking your way home. Go home, baby. Meet them. They really miss you. Mama happy baby, finally you find your happiness after a long time you experience bitterness. Forgive me for making your life difficult. This all happens because of your mistakes and selfishness. You deserve to be happy, baby. Go home! Goodbye bye!" pomegranate with her own eyes.

"Drug brother, goodbye. Adek dear brother." said Nanda's sister who is now held by Pomegranate.

Slowly but surely, Pomegranate and the little girl moved away and over time the shadow disappeared along as the wind blew leaving Nanda still glued in place.

Instantly, Gathan and Doni widened their eyes when they heard Nanda's voice saying the word papa.

"Nanda, is that you, son? Yes son, it's papa! You're awake, son!" doni exclaimed in disbelief when he heard Nanda say his name. His voice was very slow and barely audible, but because they were so close to Nanda's head they could still hear him clearly.

"Nanda, this is my dear. You're awake, baby. Doc, Nanda just said the word papa. Is Nanda conscious, doc?" exclaims Gathan with passion.

The doctor immediately checked Nanda's condition thoroughly. Slowly, Nanda blinked her eyes, adjusting her glare-induced vision to the light of the lights shooting straight from the top of her head.

"How's the doc doing to my wife?" ask Gathan was-was.

"Thank God, his condition is much better. But it is still under monitoring. We'll come back later to check it out. Then excuse me." said the doctor who examined Nanda.

"Mas Gathan." called out to him as his eyes caught Gathan's figure not far from the position of the doctor who was examining him.

Gathan approached immediately after the doctor came out.

"Yes, honey. It's mas. Is anyone sick?" ask Gathan.

"Dizziness." she said softly. "Mas, that was .. Nanda dreamin papa. Nanda ... Nanda dream papa calling Nanda" he said softly with teary eyes. He had not realized on his left side stood a figure that he thought was just a dream.

Gathan then smiled widely with eyes that also glazed.

"You're not a dream, baby. That wasn't a dream. That's really your papa. It's papa Doni. Papa Doni is here, next to you. In fact, it was Papa Doni who donated blood to you, dear." said Gathan gently as he stroked Nanda's head that was not covered in bandages while pointing to the left side with his chin.

Nanda widened his eyes in disbelief. Then he turned his neck slightly to look at the left side. Nanda suddenly rounded his eyes when he saw the figure of the man he missed so much. The figure looks like it is getting old. A faint frown appeared on his face. His eyes were swollen, like he was crying.

"This ... This isn't a dream, is it? It's not a dream, is it? That's really papa, right? Nanda is not hallucinating, right? That's ... it's really papa right?" he sighed while sobbing.

"This is right papa, son. This is really papa. It's papa. I'm sorry papa, son. Forgive papa's past mistakes, son. Papa misses you, baby. Papa misses you so much." lirih Doni with tears streaming down.

"Papa .." exclaimed Nanda roaring in tears as Doni hugged her body. Although not tight for fear of making Nanda in pain, but the warmth still felt. The warmth he longed for. The warmth he had long hoped for.

"It's really papa, right? Pa, this is papa Nanda, right? Papa ... papa .. papa ... "

"Dear, this is really papa. Forgive my son for making you suffer. Forgive me for ignoring you. I'm sorry papa, son. I'm sorry, papa and thank you for coming back. Thank you dear. Papa is very happy to see you again." lirih Doni while wiping the tears on Nanda's cheek made Nanda smile sweetly.

"Nanda misses papa too. Nanda loves papa too. Papa ... papa .. papa .. "bluffy while mentioning the word papa many times. After a long time, his dream finally came true. Meet the papa. Calling the papa. Hugging the body of the father. His dream, finally achieved.

''O God, thank you for this infinite gift. Finally ... finally .. I can meet, call, hug, and feel the affection of a father. Thank you, O God. It's really amazing.'
