Rico walked into the ICU, and there was fear, doubt, guilt and sadness mixed together. Rose continued to stare at Rico's back until it disappeared from her sight. The woman knew Rico was hesitant to see Filipo.
After wearing the patient's clothes and washing hands. Rico slowly pushed open the door, he entered with very slow steps. Just got to the front of Filipo's bed lying down. Suddenly her tears fell.
''Daddy,'' said Rico.
He could not bear to see many hoses attached to Filipo's body. He pulled out a chair and sat down next to a bed of Filipino patients lying down. Rico clasped Filipo's hand with an infusion hose.
"Dad... Whatchap? Sorry Rico just came by. Rico, promise even Rico and Lestari have to split. But Rico will continue to be Dad's son. Like my father and Father Filipo promised. Rico will also always protect Lestari, Rico will be a good father for the Princess. Tonight Rico will sleep at home to accompany the Princess." Without realizing it, her tears fell again from her eyes. Rico let in without it at all.
He saw that the line of monitors was running a little faster than the start he entered. The heart monitor went off quickly and Rico pressed a button next to Filipo's bed.
The nurse and the doctor came.
"What's up, sir?" asked a nurse she immediately observed the infusion.
Rico stood up to make room for the medical team to examine Filipo.
"The monitor is ringing and the line is running faster" explained Rico he pointed towards the heart monitor.
''Fine. We'll check it out soon" said the doctor. His eyes glanced at the monitor.
With the doctor's cut, he placed a tetoscope on Filipo's chest, then switched to Filipo's wrist, groping Filipo's pulse. Then took a small flashlight examining Filipo's eyes. After the examination process was completed the doctor breathed a sigh of relief with smiling lips.
"Sir Filipo is conscious. But, still not fully aware maybe another half hour will be fully aware. After full consciousness, the doctor's team will immediately determine the schedule of Filipo's heart surgery," explained the doctor.
Rico nodded, he also felt relieved that the one night wait one day ended as well. Filipo is aware that his heart will be operated on soon. At least not add to the burden on Lestari.
After checking the doctors out left Rico in the ICU room. Rico smilingly looked at Filipo's face, Filipo's eyeballs moving but his eyes were still not open.
"Dad why? Why is Rico here only when I realize?" Rico squeezes Filipo's hand.
'I want to beat you up, ' Filipo's mind.
Because he can hear but just as yet cannot open his eyes or speak.

Lestari and Bruce are on their way to the hospital. In Lestari's car just silence he keeps thinking about what Bruce said at the Resto they ate earlier.
"Yes..last night you stay in the hospital or go home?" Bruce asked he glanced for a moment then refocused on driving.
"Yes, Rico doesn't exist. But Rico said he wanted to go home
you loh." Bruce smiled cynically.
"If she stays at home maybe I will accompany her in the hospital" said Lestari sighing.
"I'll ask you. If, you stay in the hospital I leave the keys to my room so that later you and your mother sleep in my workspace only, there is a bed enough for two people." Bruce turned the steering wheel, the white car swerved into the hospital basement.
"What's okay? Are you sure you can trust me and Mommy?" Lestari chuckles.
"Why? it's just my work room. I was hoping that you'd want me to leave my heart with you here" said Bruce barely heard.
Lestari blushed she was embarrassed by Bruce's expression just now. Bruce opened the car door and let Lestari down. After Lestari came down she quickly grabbed Lestari's hand and took her.
Lestari felt uncomfortable but not for Bruce. The man seemed to want to show all employees of the hospital if he had found the patch of his heart. In the elevator Bruce looked at Lestari's face.
"Dance.if your divorce is over let me fill your days." His gaze was so serious, he grasped the skinny fingers tighter and tighter.
"I can't answer, I'm afraid of giving false hope." Lestari.
"Well, I'll wait here. I will always be there when you need help. Please do not hesitate to ask me for any help. Let's just say I'm your security." He put his hands around Lestari's waist. However, Lestari quickly took off Bruce's hand.
"I will be the security of your heart" he whispered slowly in Lestari's ear. Bruce's breath made Lestari's heart flutter. Naturally she's a normal woman. Moreover, it has long been untouched.However, Lestari quickly regained consciousness so as not to fall into sin.
"I said you have to wait patiently. Wait until my divorce process is complete" said Lestari. He tried to neutralize his breath.
Bruce smiled cynically. He also tried to restrain himself there was something demanding in there. He felt he had been overpowered by nap*su. Her hand held Lestari's nape she brought her lips closer to Lestari's but just now she wanted to touch those lips, the elevator opened. Bruce buzzed in annoyance. Lestari smiled with relief.
"Damn it!"
"Come on.your mother must have been waiting," said Bruce they got out of the elevator. Then immediately walk towards Filipo's room. Rose's corridor is waiting there with Rico.
Lestari stopped her steps. He tried to take Bruce's grip off.
"Why? Are you scared because there's Rico? Do you still love Rico?" Bruce's face instantly turned cold.
"It's not just that I feel bad. Mom and Rico saw. Moreover, I haven't answered 'agreed' about your heart's expression. I'm also not officially divorced yet I don't want my mother to also misjudge me by looking at us like this" explained Lestari.
"But if you give me the answer I will never let you go again. Remember what I said." Bruce tried to hold back his emotions.
