The twilight is changing the night. After finishing his important affair with a geneticist doctor, Evan moves towards the room where Star is undergoing treatment.
Since then Hanna did not move from the side of the bed. Looking at his sleeping daughter. However, at least the great fear he felt earlier began to diminish.
Star will heal, Star will heal! He continued to fill his mind with positive expectations.
Hanna turned away when she heard the sound of the door opening, as soon as she saw the figure of Evan entering with some paper bag in her hand, Hanna focused back on Star.
"Sky .. I have something for you" said Evan, sitting next to Sky, enjoying a TV show. At home they did not have a TV, so they were enthusiastic when they found a large television in the room.
Evan placed a box in front of Sky. That instant also Sky's eyeballs widened. Between believe and not feel, a box with a picture of a tank of war.
"Wow, what is a war tank toy?"
"Yes, Son! That's for you."
Sky was so amazed that it felt like crying. His little hand reflexively rubbed the box, but the happy twinkle painted in his eyes instantly faded away as he stared at Hanna's flat face.
Do not accept anything from strangers!
His mommy's warning was still clear. Sky paused his intention of grabbing the toy box and then lowered his head. Choosing to bury that passionate taste in his own heart.
"Why? You don't like it?" Evan looked at her deeply, then glanced at Hanna in search of answers. However, Hanna also speaks a thousand languages.
"Like. The game is so cool. But ..."
"But what?"
Sky looked up again, staring at his mommy back. Then close his lips to Evan's ear and whisper, "Mommy once said, don't accept anything from strangers."
Suddenly, Evan was unable to say anything. An indignation scratched the bloodless wound in his heart. Sky's innocent remarks made him aware that he was just a stranger to Sky and this excessive attention would make Hanna uncomfortable.
I'm not a stranger, son! Evan screamed in his heart. His breathing felt heavy.
If he could, he would shout to the whole Earth so that all living beings would hear him.
I am your daddy! I'm your daddy, Sky! I'm not a stranger! Although there is no evidence yet, but I am sure in your veins my blood flows!
"Ehm ... Then it's a pity. Then I have to return this to the toy store. I really want to play with you."
Sky glanced at his mommy. Though without a word, yet his facial line implies a desire. Hanna took a quick glance and was able to read the look on her son's face. Stiffness returned to spread, how these limitations tore his determination. Never mind giving good toys, giving decent clothes Hanna can not afford. He knew how badly Sky wanted the toy.
"Take it, Sky .. and say thank you," said Hanna without looking over.
Sky was amazed and in disbelief at his mommy's words. "Really, Mommy?"
Hanna replied with a nod of her head, which made Sky's mind soar. The toy box. The movement of his hands really illustrates impatience.
Evan helps open the box and pulls out a toy battle tank from there. If not remembering his mommy message of not making a fuss in the hospital, Sky would have already jumped up in excitement and shouted his admiration.
"Well, this is so cool. Much better than Ozkan's tank of war. I'll show Star as soon as she wakes up" Sky said with a fiery spirit. "Thank you, Uncle!"
"Just like his thanks? Is there no hug?"
Evan freezes. Every hug and every touch creates a feeling that is so difficult to understand. A different sense of happiness, such as finding pieces that have been lost in his life.
A cheerful smile began to be seen at the corner of Sky's lips. Evan accompanies him to play until he forgets time. It was only realized when a restaurant employee came to bring her ordered food.
Evan ordered a lot of food on the grounds that he was very hungry. Though all just an excuse, he knew Hanna and Sky had not eaten anything since noon this afternoon after hearing the sound of rumbling in Sky's stomach.

The night is getting late. Some of the lights in the room had been extinguished and caused dim lighting. Sky can't sleep well if the lights are on. So Hanna chose to turn off some of it and just turn on the lights that lead to the Star's bed.
Now, Sky has fallen asleep on a soft sofabed in the corner of the room. As if not believing what he got today, he fell asleep hugging his war tank cars.
Hanna buried a kiss on her son's forehead, then approached Evan who was sitting in the other corner of the room while playing his phone.
"Thank you for your help today and all you've given to my children. I'll reimburse you for all the expenses you've incurred once you have the money. You can go now."
Instead of leaving, Evan instead chose to sit on the side of Star's bed. Staring at the tiny face that was deep and grasping his little fingers.
"Can I be here to take care of Star? I beg!"
"Please don't make me indebted. We've never been friends before."
"But I've just become friends with Sky and I promised I'd keep his sister until she's healed. Is that wrong?"
Hanna. Inner wonders. What happened to the rich master who had hated him so much and often hurled insults?
Did he hit somewhere this crazy?
The silence was created for a moment. Hanna sat on the other side of the bed, staring at Star's pale face.
"Hanna Cabrera's ... Can I ask you something?" Evan opened his voice, breaking the silence of the night.
"What?"
"Where is the father of your children?"
Hanna silenced as Evan stabbed with her gaze.
