Fara ran to the hospital room where she was being treated. Breathing gasps. He saw his mother lying in bed with an infusion tube in her hand.
"How's mama doing?" ask Fara to panic. "What's sick, ma? What did the doctor say?"
Mom tried to calm her daughter. "Mama is okay. The doctor estimated that my mother had dengue fever. So it needs to be treated." "I will stay here" said Fara firmly.
"What about your job?" mama asked worriedly.
"I told Maya. He said not to worry. Antonio is back from Italy tomorrow. So my job is already there to replace." Fara opened her jacket and sat down beside the bed. "mama want to eat something?" Mama shook her head.
"Then my mom rests." Fara enveloped her and noticed she was starting to close her eyes. Fara couldn't sleep last night. She was worried something might happen to her mom. In the morning, the doctor said the condition of the mother had improved and Fara was a little relieved.
"Go home" said the mother a little nagging. "You look so tired. Just take a break."
"Alright," said Fara without arguing. "I'm going home. I'll get my mom's clothes to bring here. And I'm gonna stay in the hospital tonight with my mom."
Mama was about to interrupt him, but Fara had already said again.
"No objection this time. Anyway, I'm staying here until mama's healed."
Seeing his daughter's unwavering determination, mama finally gave up.

"You're not sleeping?" ask mom suddenly.
Fara looked at the mama who woke up in the middle of the night. It's been three days that Fara has been in the hospital accompanying her. Mama's condition is getting better, the doctor has said tomorrow you can go home.
"Sorry, I woke up mom." Fara approached her mother while presenting a glass of water.
"I'll sleep a little while longer" promised his daughter.
Moments later, Fara saw her mother fall asleep again. Fara's eyes were fixed on the desk calendar next to her bed. Today is reunion day. Fara could not come, but he did not regret it.
Mama's the most important person to him, more than a reunion or a job. Without her, Fara doesn't know what to do. My mom supports her work now. Mama says as long as Fara is happy, whatever Fara does, she will support her one hundred percent.
Fara looked at my mom with haru. Mama has been slamming the bones raising him all this time. He stroked her hair slowly and then kissed her forehead.
"The best mom in the world" she whispered slowly.
After that he turned to the window and looked up at the sky. Full moon night. The stars in the sky are shining brightly. Fara recalls her past memories at school. About his meeting with Niko, seeing him from a distance, returning his painting, the car together with him, asleep on his shoulder, until his separation. He took the paper DON'T GIVE UP Niko from his pants pocket.
"Maybe it's time I forget my past" he said slowly. "Goodbye Niko. Wherever you are."
When Fara was about to dispose of the paper, her intention came to a halt. However, the paper accompanied him at the most difficult time of his life. Fara folded the paper and put it back in her pocket. (Only one of these memories) he said in his heart. (Let me just keep this one and forget about the others).

One month later,
Fara Decides to return to the Antonio Restaurant where she works,
facing Antonio nervously. His boss's face looked scary. That means he must have made a serious mistake.
"Antonio..," he said slowly, "this is how the new restaurant menu today, the mixed spagetti, I know I should consult you first. Sorry."
