A few hours before Denisa wakes up.
Daniel was looking at the look on Dara's face that was so similar to his, he looked up to hold back the crystal grains that were about to come out, sadness, guilt raging in his mind, he looked up, she didn't know Dara's growth from birth until she grew this big.
"I'm sorry, Papi Dara, sorry, Papi used to be selfish." rubbed Dara's cheek gently, couldn't stand it, Daniel opted out.
Dara woke up at four in the afternoon. Although she was a child, but she knew if this was not her house or room, Dara panicked and got out of bed, running towards the door of the room that thankfully was not locked.
Dara managed to open the door, the first sight she saw Daniel sitting at the edge of the pond while sucking his gunshot stem. Daniel and Denisa's room positions are side by side, and their room is directly connected to a special private pool.
"Om." call Dara.
Daniel turned his head, he quickly pressed the end of his cigarette butts, standing up to Dara who was still in front of the room door. "Hey pretty, you awake?"
"Where is my mom?" dara asked immediately to look for Denisa's unseen existence.
Daniel's got Dara's head pulled on, baby.
"Mommy is in this room" Daniel pointed to Denisa's room, "we'll see Mami Dara." with Dara.
Daniel knocked on the door first, here he is again with his son, must certainly exemplify good manners and good manners, as bad as he used to be, still he wanted his son not to follow in his footsteps, he said, and if he's not with Dara, it's certain he'll barge in without permission
Three knocks but the door wasn't opened by Denisa. Forced Daniel to open without permission, but already permission on Dara of course. Turns out Denisa's door wasn't a key.
"Mommy sleep, don't be bothered, Dara just play the same Om. Wanna?"
Not nodding or shaking, not rejecting or assuring, Dara looked at Daniel's face carefully, Daniel's blood rippled fiercely gazed this deep by a little boy who was looking for honesty, as if he was looking for truth, moreover, this is his own flesh and blood, Daniel's eyes glazed, wanted him to hug Dara, since he had been holding back, but did not want to be presumptuous, he had to permit Denisa for this one.
"Om who is this? Why would you want and let Dara walk the same Om? I rarely believe in strangers." I'm Dara honest.
Daniel looked down, closed, it felt sad so great Denisa was looking after her son.
"Ehemm," dehemnya, looked up to neutralize her hoarse voice, "mami told her what Dara was.
"Friends."
"Friends huh? It means Om is a close friend of Mami, an old friend who has not met for a long time, we are very close, so my mom believes in Om."
Dara fingered Daniel's face making Daniel close.
"Who does face look like?" Dara tapped her index finger on her chin, "ih Dara forgot, but Om looks like someone."
Daniel chuckles, his son is so smart it turns out, aware of their resemblance, but his name is a little boy, will not understand.
"Om like Dara maybe, right?"
"What's Om?"
Daniel shrugged his shoulders. "Not to be discussed, now we better swim, afternoon gini delicious loh swim."
"You want Om, but later if you're angry Om answers yes! dara has not yet given permission to Mami. Dara can't swim either."
"Calm down, Om said the same mom. Emm Dara doesn't drive like this?"
"Seneng, Dara never go for a walk, mami is busy looking for money, even though Dara has said the same mami to find a new papi, let mami not look for money continuously, but mami does not want to."
Denisa's not looking for a replacement? Daniel's heart would have been happy to hear that, is there still a name in Denisa's heart? I don't know, there's nothing she's gonna get them together because there's Dara. Maybe they are still a match, in fact separated five years, but they both have not got a partner, and this may also be a second chance for him to fix everything.
Daniel squatted down, aligning his body with Dara's height. "So Dara wants to have a new papi?"
Dara nodded. "Let anyone take Dara for a walk, then later can tell friends that Dara also has papi."
Again, the thing that Daniel just found out, Dara seemed to get a bully from her schoolmate. Unwilling to imagine Dara being ridiculed by her friends, she could imagine how Denisa faced this herself.
"Yaudah, I'll say to Mami, Dara wants to have Papi kayak Om. If Om has become papi Dara, Om will take Dara for a walk, out of the country as well. Keep buying a lot of snacks and toys, we walk three, mami often at Dara's guard house, how about not?"
Dara nodded quickly, and immediately imagined what Daniel said, it was one of his dreams to have a whole family.

Denisa came with two glasses of guava and orange juice. Guava juice for Daniel, who likes guava juice, and orange juice for Dara.
He was followed by a resort employee who brought three cups of pop noodles for them to eat.
"Mommy still remembers Papi's fondness" whispered Daniel taking a glass in Denisa's hand. Denisa did not comment on Daniel's words, he immediately gave orange juice to Dara and sat by her son's side.
"Aren't you cold, honey?" ask Denisa.
Dara shook her head "Dara likes Mi, tomorrow Om would invite Dara to swim again at dawn."
"You're a doctor but you don't know the benefits of taking a morning shower" said Daniel.
"Yes Om, right. Mami tuh only know the disease if Dara played hapenya long, all kinds of diseases Mami callin, even though Dara school friends who watch a lot of old hape."
Denisa glanced at Daniel who laughed at Dara's innocent reply.
"Because, Mami doesn't lie about that, if you've watched hape like to forget the time, don't work the same PR learning."
"What disease is it, baby?" Daniel asked, and the call was? makes Denisa even worse. Denisa glanced at Dara, lucky her daughter did not listen and focus on her pop-mie cup, Dara was enjoying her world paradise after swimming.
Denisa's phone rang, Ricko made a video call. Relax Denisa scrolls the green button receiving Ricko's call while walking away to her room without Daniel's permission. Daniel's chest was like burning seeing Denisa receiving a call from someone else, let alone a video call.
Daniel heard Denisa mention the name of doctor Ricko, increasingly making his chest hit by sparks like accidentally doused with gasoline.
Daniel followed the direction of Denisa's path, his hand squeezing the strong glass of juice that Denisa had given him.
Daniel sharpens his hearing to listen to Denisa's talk, but unfortunately their voices are not heard clearly, but Daniel is made like a blood ride when Denisa calls mas by his interlocutor. Upset, of course, let alone seeing Denisa sometimes smile, and sometimes laugh at Ricko's chatter.
It hasn't been two minutes of Denisa talking to Ricko, but Daniel feels it's been too long. She moved from her seat to Denisa who was still smiling in front of her phone screen.
His eyes glared sharply full of anger, Denisa could chat casually with other men while with him.
Realizing Daniel's arrival, Denisa quickly disconnects the video.
"What are you obrolin, until so long?"
"No, just permission for tomorrow" Denisa walked past Daniel, quickly holding Denisa's wrist.
"Why call that ugly doctor?" actually Ricko is not ugly, if judged 1-10 Ricko good looks value is 9, but yes Daniel considers it ugly. "Janga call him mas, call him as usual 'doctor' that?"
"Why do you do it anyway?"
"I don't like, my ears suddenly cong3an, and another one, if the same I don't take a call from anyone, can it?" Denisa pursed her eyes puffed, after messing up her privacy, Daniel began to manage her life. Now it's Daniel's turn to ring on Dara's front desk.
"Who's Dara?" shouted Daniel, fearing an important call, Dara who was still enjoying the pop noodles advancing the body saw the name on the screen hape Daniel.
"Amanda Om."
"Just say, if it's important, it's not good to ignore the fiancee's phone, don't make her wait too long." Denisa releases her hand from Daniel towards Dara.
Daniel receives a call from Amanda without getting away from Dara and Denisa, he just ham hem without saying anything then disconnects the call.
"Amanda come home tomorrow to be picked up." Daniel saw Denisa who was enjoying her noodle pop that began to medok regardless of Daniel in the least.

Two days went by, no matter what happened, Denisa really did not know, as she woke up early in the resort Dara pointed at her neck that suddenly had a tattoo, not just one, not one, there are two artificial lip tattoos on the left and right side of Denisa's neck.
Upset, angry, but also self-blame, how can he be careless to the point of not feeling and not knowing anyone is sneaking into his room, and doing that.
Especially when asked Daniel pretended not to know and instead wanted to add another new stamp.
"Why are you wearing a scarf, hot weather like this?" ricko asked as he passed each other in the ER room, not without reason Denisa was wearing a scarf, she was already wearing a turtleneck but did not cover the tattoo.
"I'm not feeling well, Doc, I'm feeling cold hot."
Ricko felt Denisa's forehead, not hot, but Denisa who was a little panicked did look pale. "You should take another day off, you must have exhausted the streets yesterday."
"No papa Doc, just a little cheer. Not good with Dr. Amanda, we have a meeting today."
At the same time Amanda just came with Daniel.
"Cieee's newly created, until he's taken to the ER," Amanda teases Denisa and Ricko.
Denisa who does not know knowing is confused, but Ricko smiled considering the photo he sent to Amanda. Daniel himself can be sure his unfriendly face saw Denisa alone with Ricko, yes not alone too anyway, this person in public places.
"Who are the same? I don't know if he doesn't want to." Ricko chuckles at Denisa who is still confused, the more he does not like Daniel to Ricko who is careless.
"Tuh Nis, thank donk." Amanda nudged Denisa's shoulder, and Denisa smiled shyly when she realized that.
"What the hell is Doc?" Denisa tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Abis meeting we double date yuk, I'm also happy about it." Amanda took Daniel's hand.
There was an uncomfortable feeling seeing that, Denisa chose to take her eyes off.
