The next night after Zira visits Rangga's house.

Rangga, who was busy checking his files and paperwork, accidentally dropped a letter that Zira slipped on the floor.

He took the letter and kept it in his shirt pocket without seeing the contents.

At 11 pm, Rangga went into Razi's room to check on his son. 

"Pad's beloved son has not slept," said Rangga.

Razi was sitting on a mattress, playing with a mini airplane in his hand. Rangga approached his son and sat down beside him and stroked his hair gently.

"Does my son not sleep?" ask Rangga.

Razi stopped playing and bowed with a sad face. "Razi is waiting for mother to come home. I promised you I'd be home soon and be with us."

Hearing her son's words, Rangga fell silent at the thought of Zira's question last night, "do you hate me." The question kept coming across her mind repeatedly as if it was haunting her. 

Sometimes he felt guilty for answering what he should not have said. 

"Dad.." - Razi quietly.

"Hmm.." replied Rangga smiling who was trying to hide her sad face.

Razi gave her a medium-sized box which was given to her by her mother. 

"This is for me, I told Razi to give this to me when I was sad" he said.

Razi slightly nodded his head. "Mother also said that you can visit, whenever you want."

Rangga opened the box slowly, and seen inside it only contains a leaf. He touched the leaf with great care.

"This.. leaf... spit!" said it.

Suddenly he remembered his memories with his wife in a museum.

"Darling.. Look, this is called a leaf. These leaves, historic leaves. Before there was paper, people used this leaf as a writing medium" Zira said.

"Well, come to think of it, people from classical times are great, able to utilize everything around for their purposes."

"Hmm then this leaf will be a token of love for both of us" Zira said as she pointed towards the historic relic.

"Token love? Why should this leaf?" ask Rangga to be confused.

Zira puts her hand in Rangga's hand while smiling at him. "Yes because I want to be like a classic, who can use Mas to always protect me until old age" he said.

Rangga brought his face closer to Zira's ears while smilingly teasing her. "If that leave it to Mas. I'm ready anytime and anywhere to be a shield for you."

Returning to reality he reached into his pocket and pulled out a letter that had previously fallen on the floor. On the letter there was a stamp with a new palm leaf visible in his eyes.

The letter was sent on behalf of Zira which was written 4 years ago. Rangga opened it and read the letter long enough.

Time seemed to be running so slowly after he finished reading the letter from Zira, he grasped the palm leaf he still held in his left hand tightly. "Razi, let's go get mom home" he said with a smile, while Razi nodded his head with a smile.

A letter that can change everything, what is the content of the letter?
