It's been a month since Cecilia was hospitalized under heavy guard by the German police. There has been no change, Enzo is still unable to enter and visit the woman. Enzo was still hoping to see the woman so that the feelings in his heart slightly improved.
Sir Nicholas always routinely provides the latest developments about the condition of Cecilia. But, it did not make Enzo's heart relieved at all. Both of his parents had even heard of this news. There was no response they gave, the problem was over seven years old and the brain of all these problems was gone. Either they should be happy or sad, or feel hurt again. After all, all that will not make Allisa wake up from her death.
"Is there really no way for me to see Cecilia?" ask Enzo for the umpteenth time.
Sir Nicholas looked at Enzo with guilt. He cannot violate the request of his client.
"At least let me look from afar, I just want to see it" Enzo said. This was his first plea, and he only really wanted to see the woman. Far away was enough for him.
"Alright, make sure Cecilia doesn't see you."
Finally Sir Nicholas took Enzo to a room connected to the ICU where Cecilia was placed. From this alone Enzo could see clearly Cecilia who was lying weakly, various tools of medicine were attached to the woman's body.
Enzo never expected that he would meet Cecilia again under these circumstances. Far from Enzo's shadow. If only he had met Cecilia who was in fine and happy condition, perhaps Enzo would have an even greater reason to hate the woman and perhaps a little revenge.
But all this is far from Enzo's estimate. He wants to hate Cecilia for all the things she's done in Enzo's life, but he doesn't know how to do it. He realized that hatred comes from a feeling of love that has not been lost. He wanted to believe that everything Cecilia did was not a charade, but was sincere from her heart.
"Cecilia's chances of recovery are only ten percent, she's been battling the disease for the past year. Even the doctor had raised his hand and this was all he could do. At least those life aids were able to make it survive a little longer."
That's what Sir Nicholas said when Enzo first learned of Cecilia's medical records. The woman's condition was critical, just hoping that a miracle would come to her. But, what kind of miracle did Enzo expect when the woman had also given up on his life?
Enzo put his hand on the glass, hoping his hand was there, clutching the skinny fingers to give his spirit. He wanted the woman to know that Enzo here would wait for her to recover, and would also wait until the woman completed her sentence later. He could wait as long as Cecilia held on.
Enzo's tear rolls down his cheek. Last time when he found out that Cecilia was using him, he was also almost crazy. He had given all his love and heart to the woman, and only betrayal was given in return.
It's okay, he will let the memory disappear from his head, provided that the woman is able to survive. The woman's eyes were still closed, had it been like that since yesterday?
Enzo decided to move from his place to see the woman, he would not be able to survive longer there.
"Do you have a minute? I want to say something" said Sir Nicholas. He held Enzo who was about to leave.
**
"Since seven years ago, Cecilia has never returned to her father. He decided to stay alone and do whatever it takes to survive without involving his father. At first everything Cecilia did was purely due to her father's orders, but in the end she fell in love with you and opposed him. Everything changed after that. Cecilia chose to leave in the hope that it would make those feelings disappear. He only returned to his father after the news of his death."
Enzo twisted Sir Nicholas' sentence over and over again in his brain. If that was the case, then all the hatred Enzo had was in vain.
"Why are you telling me that?" ask Enzo.
"I helped Cecilia all this time, and was beside her in her difficult moments, and I also witnessed all the pain she always tried to bury. He asked me to tell you this, if he would face his worst reality. He already knew that if the disease would not heal, he also never tried to recover. I also do not understand the very strange way of thinking" continued Sir Nicholas.
Sir Nicholas is a middle-aged man, who may be the same age as Enzo's father. His experience must have been very much concerning the world of law.
"So that means he really won't wake up again?"
"I don't know for sure, almost all of the doctors who have treated Cecilia, they say the same thing."
Enzo stopped his car on the shoulder of the road, his mind suddenly blank. So, what does his hatred mean during these seven years? Why is this reality only known when hatred has eaten away the soul? Now he is faced again with the fact that he still loves Cecilia.
Supposedly, back then, Enzo didn't have to love that woman this deep. The pain that he now felt back, increased many times over.

Liliana has decided, for the umpteenth time. He returned to Indonesia, not because of anything else, he just wanted to go home and meet his parents and Nabila, and maybe also meet Dimitri's parents. No one asked for it, he just felt he had an obligation to it.
He didn't tell anyone if he came home, it didn't mean surprise or anything like that. This was his first return without any request or problem, completely pure of his own will.
The first place to go was his parents' house. He felt too selfish to leave his parents just for the sake of heartache. At least at this time, his feelings had improved, he already did not have as heavy a burden as before.
Liliana knocked on her parents' door, saying they were home. It was already quite an afternoon for them to travel, so they must have been home.
The door opens from the inside, showing his beloved Mother in a negligee. Liliana smiled broadly at that.
"Lilly!" the mother shouted hysterically. "This is you, son?" ask the mother again. Still with a hysterical cry, he wanted to hug Liliana, but was blocked with the Eagle in Liliana's front sling.
"Yes, Mom, it's Lili. When you forget your own child" Liliana replied with a big smile. After seeing the mother directly like this, he only realized how much he missed them.
"Sir, Lili's home, sir!" shouting Mother.
"Why don't you tell me if you go home, Father, you can pick you up" said the father.
"Intentionally, sir, let it be a surprise."
The eagle that had fallen asleep, now woke up and looked confused looking at the three of them.
"Udah, let's go in. You must be tired, right? The eagle must be tired too, huh, son?" say Mother to the Eagle. The one being asked to speak was just staring uncomprehendingly.
That night, Liliana and her Father and Mother spent time telling stories, interspersed with the ravings of the Eagle that no one understood. But that night, happiness came back from all of them. There is no more Silent Liliana like last time, now there is only Liliana who has returned to find her missing a year ago.
**
After spending two days with her parents, Liliana decided to take her parents to Jakarta. He also wanted to take Father and Mother for a vacation to Jakarta. There are no plans to re-settle in Jakarta, if Liliana has found a reason, maybe she will settle down.
"Mother saw that you were cheerful like this," said Mother. They just got to Liliana's apartment.
"Lili is also a whim, Mom."
Eagles since being on the train can not be silent and now he is with the Father is pacing back and forth to see whatever the toddler wants to see.
"What about Dimitri?" ask Mother.
"Good, Mom. He's been to Germany a few times to see the Eagle, everything's fine, ma'am." Liliana smiled at Mom.
Since yesterday, no one has brought up the topic of Dimitri. Maybe I thought that Liliana was still traumatized by that name, and Liliana didn't bother about it at all.
"Let's go to Mama Ina's house. Mommy wanna come?"
Mom frowned. He had hated Dimitri because of the divorce that occurred, he even had to expel the man several times when he wanted to apologize for what had happened, but was not accepted by him at all. Dimitri was the cause of his daughter to go that far, even taking care of her son alone. He hated his former daughter-in-law.
"Why did you go there?" ask Mom a little dislike.
Hearing the tone of voice coming out from the Mother, Liliana guessed that not only were Dimitri's parents the only ones who hated the man, but Liliana's parents as well. That guy hated that much.
"Mom, Lilies are fine, Lilies are here too. Sorry Dimitri for all of his nature, all of it has happened, and he has explained everything that happened. So, I can stop hating Dimitri."
Mother looked at Liliana with a stern look, this is not easy. Which parent will forgive the man who hurt his daughter?
"It's both our fault, ma'am, and it's also Lili's decision to divorce. Nothing, Lili is sincere, maybe this is the way. If it is maintained it will not be good for both of us, Mom," said Liliana softly.
He believes his father also thought the same thing, only the Father was more quiet than Mother. Liliana decided to move on, and thought about her future as well as the Eagle. The pain if the longer you think about it, then there is no result in it. It only further gnaws at the heart and inflicts another pain.
It's okay to be sad and let that sadness take over us. Just do not let it drag on, everything will definitely be happy and beautiful if the time is right. God never gives a test beyond the ability of his people. We just need to wait and work harder, God more than knows when the time is right to grant all our prayers and hopes.

'I'm at your parents' house.'
The short message was able to make Dimitri jump out of his chair. That's a short message from Liliana. He did not even know when the woman arrived in Indonesia, and now it is at his parents' house.
It's been seven o'clock at night, and there's only Dimitri in that office. Without waiting for anything else, he immediately grabbed his car keys and rushed down. It's not the usual hour he comes home from work, Dimitri can be in that office until ten or eleven p.m. During this time, he also lived in his apartment. So, there's no reason for him to come home sooner than he should.
Dimitri arrived with just thirty minutes of driving, he saved fifteen minutes with his driving ability. In times like these, that ability is very much needed. He opened the door of the house without bothering to knock it, later he will apologize for his irreverence, if his parents already want to talk to him.
Everyone in the room was shocked by the sudden opening of the door and the appearance of Dimitri. Of all the people in the room, only Liliana gave her faint smile.
Dimitri was similarly shocked to see anyone in the room, there were both Liliana's parents as well.
"Good night, Ma, Pa." Dimitri lowered his head and walked towards his parents, kissing their hands. Then switch to Lila's parents.
They did not refuse it, only the atmosphere became awkward after the presence of Dimitri who was also not in the least expected. Dimitri sat next to Liliana after getting a code from the woman. There's an Eagle in Mama Dimitri's lap.
"Lili who asked Dimitri to come, hopefully Mama and Papa also Mother also the same father does not mind," said Liliana.
There was no response from the parents, they just threw their eyes away in the other direction. Dimitri realized that and felt even more unwell. It turned out that the hatred of the parents was still the same, and Dimitri could do nothing to block that feeling.
"I'm sorry if our divorce made you hate each other, we're also guilty of not talking to you. Not only was Dimitri guilty, but Lili was also. We should have talked about our problems with a cool head, instead of choosing to divorce" Liliana said.
When they get married, two families meet each other and talk about what to do, of all things. They should also talk about each other when they get divorced. Liliana kept quiet about their problem, and Dimitri did the same, as if with their residence, the problem would be resolved by itself.
"Dimitri also apologizes, we shouldn't be this selfish. Dimitri's sorry if I let you down."
