Yati's car is ready to take Mr. Wasito to Jakarta.
The old man was waiting in the car. The ladder waved, as if calling out to Yati.
"Yes, you need anything?" yati asked, approaching the car door.
"Well, is that everything?" ask the man.
"Already, Dad. I've checked everything I need and brought everything I need during the trip."
But the man looked worried, showing a feeling of worry.
"Dad, what's wrong?" ask Yati curiously.
"But .. pii, a-pa ti-daak le-leb-bih ba-iik k-iitta carrying sop-pir pe-penganttii? P-perjaa-lan-naaan i-iini m-ung-kiin mele .. get tired of your ba-gii."
Yati fell silent to understand the words of her father who was stammered and not easily caught. But he smiled shortly after he understood.
"Dad, I was driving and taking care of Dad during the trip. I don't want to leave Dad alone. And believe in Yati, huh?" Yati convinced the old man.
Finally, Mr. Wasito nodded in understanding.
'All right, if that's what you want. I know you always put my comfort first, ' the man's inner self with a sense of haru.
Yati tried to calm her father's mind, clasping the old man's hand.
"I'll always be next to you. Don't worry, everything's gonna be okay."
But for comfort, Yati has been bringing in the nurse who used to take care of Mr. Wasito for the past year.
Once enough was felt and everything was ready, they left for Jakarta immediately.

On the way, Mr. Wasito observed Yati focusing on driving.
'Is he sure he's not too tired, driving himself this far? I can drive if it's healthy and can occasionally replace it to get a break.'
The man spoke with a wander. But it turned out that Yati, at a glance, saw the man who was watching her.
Yati smiled gently, giving an idea that she was fine. It was as if he knew what the old man was thinking.
"Thank you, Dad. I'm doing fine. I want to make sure this trip is smooth and Dad's comfortable."
Hearing Yati's words, Mr. Wasito looked surprised. But he did not smile even though he could not look perfect as a healthy person.
'I am proud to have a son like you. You are so caring and loving. Thank you, Yati.'
The man thanked him inwardly, but his hand tried to stretch out to grab his son's hand.
Seeing that, Yati deftly grabbed his father's hand.
"I'm fine, Dad. No need to worry. Mboten nopo - nopo."
"I did everything for Dad. I hope we can get to Jakarta soon and Dad can get good treatment. I don't want to lose the person I love anymore, and dad is the only Yati family member, the one Yati has after Mbok Inah doesn't exist."
The old man smiled faintly with a weak nod. 'i know. And I'm grateful to have you as a child, Yati.'
During the journey, Yati and her father give each other support and attention. Although Mr. Wasito could not express it well.
But Yati knew, and patiently drove the car, while the father gave his spirit and love to Yati.
They both show a strong bond as a family that cares for and supports each other.

The nurse who used to take care of her father - who was invited to Jakarta - helped her care for him and ensure that his condition was fine.
"Sorry, Mother Nina, there's something I want to talk about."
Yati, who was sitting next to her father's bed in the hospital, called the nurse.
Nina-Nurse's mother, approached Yati. "Yes, Ms. Yati. What's up?" tanyanya.
"Previous plans, while already in Jakarta and in the hospital, Ibu Nina will go home, according to Mother's own wishes. But__"
Although the nurse was initially invited to Jakarta to help take care of the father during the trip, it turns out that the relationship between them has grown very close and Yati's father feels comfortable with the nurse.
This caused a strong feeling of dependence and trust in the nurse, so when she asked to go home, Yati's father refused because he was comfortable with the care given.
"But, kenopo to Mbak Yati?" ask Nina's mom to know.
"Ngapunten, Miss Nina. I knew at first I agreed with Mother Nina's request to Jakarta to help take care of Dad and then go home. But, on second thought, I saw how comfortable I felt with Nina's mother's care."
Nina's mother smiled warmly. "S-aya also felt close to Master. He was an excellent patient and was always cooperative during the treatment."
Yati clasped Nina's hands. He understood the feelings of this woman who was the same age as his father.
"That's why I want to ask Mother Nina to stay longer and continue taking care of Father here."
Hearing Yati's words, Mother Nina was quite surprised!
"Oh, but I think I'm only working until here, or.for the next few days as long as Mr. Wasito is in the hospital."
Yati. "My father wants Nina's mother to stay here, and I agree too. I feel good about Mom Nina and I see how much your care has a positive impact on your condition."
Nina's mother felt haru with the answer Yati gave.
"Thank you, Ma'am Yati. I'm glad to hear it. I also feel close to you and happy to be able to help you" said the nurse.
With a hand wiping away the tears, Yati said with a full day. Thank you for the good work of the nurse.
"Yati is very grateful for Nina's care and care for Dad. I don't know what I'd do without your help.
Nina's mother rubbed Yati's back gently. She, who was a widow also no longer had any family members.
Her husband and son died in a train accident. In the town where Yati lives, Ibu Nina also moves from another city, which is trying to forget her sadness.
"Don't worry, Ma'am Yati. I will continue to take care of Mr. Wasito as best I can. And I know, Mbak Yati is always there for him."
Yati smiled knot.
"Yes, I'll always be here for Dad. Thank you for being such an important part of my father's care."
"Together, Ms. Yati. We will take good care of Mister and may Mister recover soon."
They both needed Mr. Wasito, for his recovery.
The old man needed good care from Mother Nina but also needed the presence of Yati as his son.
"Lho, Miss Yeti. This is right, Mis Yeti?"
Someone asked, who happened to pass in front of her seat Yati and Mother Nina.
