Three days later...
This afternoon Mala was allowed to go home because her condition had improved. Cervical Collar/Neck support and infusion hose have been removed by the Doctor. However, Mala still has a lot of rest so that the scars of his surgery quickly dry up.
Arthur is busy packing his clothes and Mala's, while Mala sits on the sofa while observing Arthur's busyness.
Tok.dok..
The door opened, mama Wulan, Lea, Lala and Rafli were behind it, they immediately approached Mala.
Mama Wulan hugged Mala full of affection, she also kissed Mala cheeks, they look like mother and son. After Mama Wulan was now Lea's turn to hug her, the little girl looked very happy.
"Sister can finally go home, Lea can't wait to go for a walk with sister." His words are full of spirit.
All eyes were on the little girl, as well as Arthur, he left his job and approached Leah who was now sitting next to his eyes.
"So Mala has a lot of rest, Lea walks alone."Arthur reminded his little brother.
"Not cool." Sahut Lea with throbbing lips.
Everyone laughed at Lea's innocent behavior, the girl who started growing up also smiled because the others laughed at her.
"How are you doing today?" Ask Lala who finally got the part to hug her best friend.
"Much better."
Tok.dok..
After the third knock a bodyguard entered and immediately approached Arthur.
"After me is Mahesa."
The guard's words instantly removed the smile on Mala's face, everyone staring at Mala grimly. Arthur drew closer to Mala, he crouched down in front of Mala and held her sweaty hand.
"Do I have to throw him out?" Asked Arthur, he looked at Mala's gloomy face.
"Can I do it?" Mala looked down, a tear dripping down on the back of Arthur's hand.
"Of course, that's your right..But if I may give you advice, you better meet Mr. Mahesa, talk about all this with a cool head, however he is your real father." Arthur paused his sentence, his hands wiping away the tears on Mala's cheeks.
"But if you're not ready, I'll have Mr. Mahesa leave now."
Mala is still silent, right said Arthur, he must immediately resolve this problem so that his life can be calm. Mala lifted her head and looked at Arthur who was also staring at her. "My company." Pintanya.
Arthur only answered him with a nod, after which the mama Wulan, Lea, Lala and Rafli came out of Mala's room, they gave Mala space to solve her problem.
Before coming out, Wulan's mom hugged Mala just to give her strength, as well as Lala, she patted her best friend's shoulder and smiled. "All will be well."
After everyone came out, Mr. Mahesa entered the room of Mala, the middle-aged man was still sitting in a wheelchair, a nurse led him in, after which he went out and waited outside the room.
Arthur sat next to Mala, his hand not a second out of the hand of the lover, the master Mahesa smiled faintly at the affection of Arthur for his daughter.
"How are you doing?" Ask Mr. Mahesa to open a canyon in the room.
"Okay, what about you?" Mala answered with a cold face, a smile that always decorate her face this time hidden behind her sadness.
"I'm good too."
Silent, the room was quiet again, they were silent and busy trying to fix their feelings. Mala looked at his father's face at a glance, but the next second he looked, the pain he felt had not yet recovered, the fact that Mr. Mahesa left him and did not acknowledge him as a child makes Mala still unable to forgive him.
"Today." Briefly, Mr. Mahesa.
Mr. Mahesa took something out of his pocket, he seemed hesitant but finally he gave it to Mala, he grabbed Mala's left hand, open his palm and place a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant.
"Keep, this necklace belongs to your mother, I have no right to keep it anymore."
Mala noticed the necklace, but the one who stole her attention was a pendant with a heart shape, Mala observed the pendant closer, Mala could see a little gap on the side of the locket and made Mala curious.
"Can it be opened?" Inwardly, his hand tried to open the pendant.
The pendant was successfully opened, Mala stuck to see the contents of the pendant, a very small wedding photo stored in the pendant heart.
"That's our wedding photo." Mr. Mahesa, he looked at his daughter, wanting to hug Mala and call her my daughter.
Mala did not respond in the slightest, he was still staring at the photo of a couple who looked to love each other. Mala rubbed a picture of her mother, slowly her tears began to come out, the longing for the figure of a mother to look down the recesses of Mala's heart made her feel bad.
"I may seem shameless, but I sincerely apologize to you for all my past mistakes, I will not force you to accept me as your real father, I just hope you're always happy."
After saying that sentence, master Mahesa turned his wheelchair, he left the room Mala with a celebration torn apart, his heart broken because Mala could not accept his presence.
After the departure of Mr. Mahesa, Mala could not stem her tears, sobs began to come out of her lips..Arthur rubbed Mala's back for a moment before she finally grabbed Mala's body into his arms.

When she was allowed to go home, a nurse pushed her wheelchair up to the hospital parking lot. Arthur opens the car door and helps Mala to get into the car.
"Thank you Sus." Arthur was sincere.
"Together mister, may the madam get well soon." Jawah the Nurse is accompanied by a prayer for the healing of Mala.
Mama Wulan and Lea are already in her car, as well as Rafli and Lala, they follow Arthur's car from behind to Arthur's apartment.
During Mala's return journey, her hand held her mother's necklace, the only relic she has now.
"Dear." Mala said softly, he began to get used to calling Arthur affectionately.
"Yes, you need anything?" Arthur asked without looking, he focused on the wheel.
"Do you remember where you met me before I lived in your apartment?"
Arthur thought for a moment, and then he nodded. "The house is empty, right?" Arthur ensured.
"Yes. That's my house, my parents' second house."
Arthur seemed ordinary, he was not surprised at all. "Yes I know. Do you want to fix the house?"
"Where do you know, I never seem to have told you? Mala looked at Arthur with a curious face.
Arthur smiled, stroking Mala's head with his left hand. "I know from Lala."
"Bas with the boy." Inner Mala.
A few minutes later they arrive at the apartment, Arthur holds Mala, while their belongings are still in the car.
Arthur opens the door to his apartment, shocked to see someone else in his house, not one but two strangers.
"Who are you?" Shouted Arthur, his face reddened with anger.
