Spontaneous questions that came out of Arka's mouth actually made Birru unable to answer honestly. He couldn't possibly tell his son that he had intentionally desecrated Aize because of his hatred for the late Cakra.
Feeling unable to answer, Birru also glanced at Aize who is now also confused as to what to answer. The two adults were finally only able to glance at each other and shake their heads as there was no answer in their heads.
“Papa equally Mama can not answer, ‘kan? Then let's go sleep three! In Mama's room was bigger. Mama Sama Papa want ‘kan sleeping with Arka?”
Birru nodded immediately. This time the question is easier to answer than having to explain the previous question which is more difficult than the math exam.
Meanwhile, Aize also seemed resigned to Arka's wishes. The woman sighed violently and finally nodded. “Yes, deh!”
Arka cheered happily and hugged her parents. It had been quite a long time that the boy had slept alone and due to Cakra's death, he could no longer feel the feeling of sleeping with his parents.
“Mama, Papa. I'm grateful to have my mom with Papa. Although Papa Cakra is not there, and soon Papa Birru is also abroad, but I am happy because we can sleep together like this. If Papa comes back later, I will definitely be big and do not want to sleep with Mama and Papa!”
Plain rant Arka does have a point. While playing futsal, Birru explained that the man would not return to the country until he was seven years old. In that long enough time, Arka could no longer feel the warmth of a whole family that is now also lost since the death of Cakra.
“Arka sad left by Papa?” aize asked as he glanced at Birru who was sleeping next to Arka.
“Sadly, Ma. Papa Cakra is gone. Papa Birru also left. Later, Arka has to play alone because Arka does not have Papa anymore!”
Arka's answer made Aize's heart slashed. Does his egoism drive Birru away and separate him from Arka who also lost a lot of Cakra?
“Don't be sad dong, Honey! Papa ‘kan can still call you! Later if you are on vacation, Om Roy will also pick you up for a vacation with Papa in America,” said Birru while stroking his son's hair.
Arka who had been trying to withstand the sadness, finally could not stand it either. The boy hugged the father very tightly and began to cry.
Aize glanced at Arka and Birru who were hugging. His heart and mind started to fight. Between holding Birru for Arka, or just letting her go for her own feelings.

Midnight arrived, Aize who dreamed of meeting with Cakra suddenly woke up and shouted, “Mas Cakra!” Realizing it was just a dream, the woman cried while covering her face.
Birru who was still awake, took the initiative to approach Aize to calm him down. “You dream of meeting Cakra huh?” birru asked as she put away Aize's long hair that was blocking her face.
Aize raised her face and nodded with tears soaking her face. It made Birru unable to stand it and immediately hugged him.
“Nothing, Aize. That's because you miss him!” birru said as she hugged and rubbed Aize's back.
Aize drowned her face in the chest of Birru's warm field, as warm as Cakra's embrace of her. Aize's two hands also moved hugging the man's waist. He spilled his sadness and longing for Cakra in Birru's arms.
For a long time the two hugged, until Aize was finally able to calm down a bit and let go of their embrace. He looked at Birru and catch his breath due to the sobs. Then, with a swift Birru wiped away the tears.
“Can you not go? Can you stay here for Arka?” ask Aize with a deflated nose.
Birru was extremely anxious with Aize's current face. Out of the many women he had served, none had an eye of sincerity like Aize. If he did not remember Cakra and Aize's hatred for her, it felt like Birru would devour those slightly exposed thin lips.
“Do not go, Birru!”
