Janeta's health condition is getting worse, his blood pressure is not going down. Plus he doesn't want to eat and drink, just gets angry and cries every day. That thing, made Raina who heard it come to feel bitter. She remembered her mother who had been ill for months before she died.

"Come on, honey, let's go see your mother and apologize" Raina said. Adry sat on the sofa and Raina sat on the floor with her head resting on Adry's thigh. The woman said it expectantly.

"It's not us who should be apologizing but him," Adry refused. Her face stiffened hearing Raina's unreasonable request.

"Not apologizing for everything he's done, but apologizing because we've ignored him. She's a mother anyway. Whatever she is, she's still your mother you have to take care of and you love her when she's sick and helpless."

"But Raina, she hasn't even felt guilty for all the things she's done to us."

"Then? We should how? Waiting for your mom to apologize just got closer? If his age hadn't reached that apology what would you have done? There must be a sense of regret in your chest because you ignored it."

"Raina can I tell you something." Raina looked closely at her husband.

"What?"

"You're too good to be the daughter-in-law of the Quantd family. If you keep going like this you'll just keep being lied to by everyone."

"Ish, you are. If you don't want to. I'll go alone to see my mother-in-law tomorrow. Whether you want to come or not. If I'm wrong, at least I've exemplified good in my son. Be kind and polite to the old. You have to remember that one day you're old and even make mistakes. Do you want your son to not forgive your mistakes?" Raina got up leaving Adry alone with her thoughts.

"She was traumatized by my mother's treatment but she told me to approach her." Adry shook his head smiling. He's lucky to have a good wife like Raina.

In the morning, Adry woke up. She did not find Raina next to her. He then got up and rubbed his face, removing his pillow face. The room has two beds. Last night Rere wanted to sleep with Leon so he and Raina slept in one bed.

He looked at the clock on the wall. It's eight o'clock past. He woke up late because last night couldn't sleep thinking about what Raina said and everything that had happened. Her decision remains the same: she will not see her mother if Janeta does not want to apologize to Raina and her family.

Adry started to come out of his room. Outside, Leon and Rere play games on their laptop. The two of them did not heed his arrival.

Adry circled the view to the entire room in this hotel. However, Raina's figure has not been seen. On the table was breakfast and cold milk. Maybe it's his rations. Thought Adry.

"Hi" Adry said to her two children.

"Dad, just be surprised." Rere held his chest in an adult-like style. Adry who saw then pinched the anxiety of his little daughter.

"Well, ever since I was a big brother, I've never been noticed by Rere, I've been sad."

Rere then got up and hugged his father. "Rere dear father, only Brother Leon is cool. Like to invite Rere to play if Dad likes to play his own mobile phone, Rere is bored if he continues with Dad," explained Rere.

Adry opened his mouth wide. "You taught him Leon?"

Leon stretched out his hand and shook his head.

"Yes, I'm just gonna go with Mom, ah...."

"So Mom said that she was going to the hospital with Grandpa. Dad was told to stay home to look after us" Leon said. Adry sighed.

"Father angry?" tanya Rere made Adry clench her mouth and shake her head.

"Why didn't you wake up when you left?"

"Mommy said it already but Dad sleeps really well. Mom also said that you can't forget milk and breakfast."

"Indeed the father was a little boy should drink milk. Your mother should have made you coffee" Adry said to the pantry to make coffee.

Raina and Carl go first to Roy's room before entering Janeta's room. There they see Karina and Roy both asleep on the hospital bed. Karina's hand was in Roy's stomach.

The son-in-law and the father-in-law looked at each other. Then the two approached the pair of lovers. Although they have not declared the extent of their relationship, but this closeness seems to lead to a more serious relationship.

"Karina, " call Raina softly, touching the woman's shoulder.

Karina started to open her eyes. He soared in surprise and directly got off the bed.

"That was last night Roy couldn't sleep because he was feeling sick and hot, so I tried to accompany him by lying on his side" she said nervously and embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's a postoperative wound that hurts if it's been a few days. When the dope's effects have started to disappear" Carl explained.

Karina nodded. The understanding of Roy's father made Karina's heart calm. At least they don't think about things or maybe just bless their relationship. This sounds good but taking Roy's heart is not an easy thing.

Shifting the name of someone who had always been on his mind for dozens of years was almost impossible in a short time. However, Roy's desire to look to the future with her makes Karina sure to start a new relationship with the man. Even if the relationship is without a name or status.

"I brought you and Roy breakfast, maybe he didn't like hospital food."

Karina nodded.

"Has she fever again tonight?" ask Carl.

"No, it's just, it's not feeling well all over her body. Especially chest pain."

"I'll see her again after going to her mother's room." Carl then took Raina out of the room and walked to her mother-in-law's room.

In the middle of the hallway leading to Janeta's treatment room, Raina stopped her steps. Carl in front of him turned his body.

"If you're afraid and doubtful, you'd better give up your will. Adry also disagrees with your plan, right?"

"Yes, but maintaining the integrity of the house is also my responsibility as the daughter-in-law of your family, of course if you approve."

"I salute your good wishes. I didn't think you were the best woman Adry had. He's very lucky to have you. I'm sorry I underestimated and hurt you, too."
