The doctor who just came out of Mr. Rusli's room has now received an attack of questions from Wenda.
"Doctor, how's my dad? he's okay, isn't he, Doc? did something happen to him I beg you to do something to my Dad Doc, I beg the Doctor."
Wenda fell down in tears at the Doctor's knees as she looked at the Doctor's face which showed no expression whatsoever. Wenda can guess if the face is very deep meaning to the father. Adelio who approached Wenda now carried the fragile body to stand.
"I'm sorry Miss, your father is still in a very weak state. You can see it but please don't make the patient think hard.
Wenda who heard the permission to meet his father ran into the room without patience he immediately embraced the body of Mr. Rusli. Mr. Rusli smiled softly without being able to move his limbs he felt really weak this time.
Some respiratory aides and others are attached to his body as well as an oxygen tube that stands firmly beside his care bed.
"Father must be healed well don't be sick, Wenda who would if Dad left. Anyway Wenda will not let Dad go let Wenda go first" he said as he continued to shed tears on Mr. Rusli's body.
Mr. Rusli who heard the babble of his daughter laughed a little while trying to raise his hands that were so weak it felt. "We-nda, Dad sa-yang sam-a Wenda."
"Wenda is also dear to Dad" he replied again heard the sound of crying of the girl to fill a room that is not so spacious.
Adelio who was standing beside Wenda was devastated to witness this miserable scene, as well as Madame Dayah who could only endure her cries. Mr. Rusli's hand pointed at Adelio, looking at the man's index movements, Adelio immediately brought himself closer and clasped his hand.
"What's up, sir? just say it."
"Will you take care of my daughter?"
All were surprised to hear Mr. Rusli say to Adelio, moreover Wenda he did not expect the words to come out of his father's mouth.
"This father isn't it? it's just kidding, right?" Wenda again tightened his grip on the hand of Mr. Rusli. While Adelio was on the other side holding the hand of the man next to him again.
"I'm ready, sir." Adelio answered with confidence. Hearing those words Wenda's eyes rounded in disbelief he shook his head.
How can this man accept his father's request so easily, does he not want to know first who Wenda really is. "Dad, don't be like this. I'm ashamed of you."
Mr. Rusli again clasped his daughter's hand and looked at her deeply. "Dad wants to go quietly, honey. Don't ever leave your mother alone she's a very nice woman I love her."
Mr. Rusli stared at the figure of the woman standing next to Wenda at this time, his eyes glazed over and the fall of tears that he had been trying to endure. Lady Dayah who heard her husband's message to Wenda could not hold back her crying anymore.
Adelio who can estimate if the age of Mr. Rusli soon now tightened his grip. "Sir, you don't have to worry that Wenda will be taken care of and I want to propose to your daughter right now."
Adelio's words were able to change all the expressions in the room, Wenda being shocked while Mr. Rusli and his wife were smiling happily. The tears on the man's face continued to fall unceasingly this time were tears of joy.
Mr. Rusli's cold hand moved to unite the two grips in both hands, now Wenda and Adelio's hands are piled together. Their eyes stared at each other until they could not see if Mr. Rusli had closed his eyes forever.
"Dad...!" Madam Dayah who cried hysterically when she saw her husband was unconscious again.
Wenda and Adelio were surprised they continued to call the Doctor, the Doctor arrived he immediately checked Mr. Rusli's condition unfortunately they could not do anything more. Mr. Rusli could not be saved Adelio bowed sadly. Wenda who continued to cry shook the body of Mr. Rusli confidently if his father would wake up again.
The day that so suddenly made Wenda feel like a nightmare, why God was so cruel to him not long ago he felt his father's affection was now taken back. What is wrong with the girl, since childhood he has felt far from his parents and now all back in snatched from him.
God could not take anything else from her except the parents who had just made her feel like a child. Wenda's life is so painful if he can demand justice it will certainly be done.
"Dad, why are you leaving me so soon, can't we stay any longer? I don't want to be alone anymore Dad." Wenda's cries continued to rain down on her pretty face.
After a long time they were in the room, Adelio who immediately asked his men to take care of the administration and return of Mr. Rusli has now been completed. They move together to the house of Wenda who continues to hug the body of his stepmother along the way in the lyrics by Adelio.
It felt like he wanted to hug the woman's body but at a time like this he could only be patient even though it was very painful to see Wenda limp. That day the funeral will be held soon all the families gather.
Mr. Farhan and his family have been present at the residence of Mr. Rusli, sister Syanin who also served shocked when he saw the whereabouts of Wenda. His eyes seemed to wonder who the woman really was, because indeed Papah Farhanya had never discussed Wenda at all to him.
The day of the funeral is now over all have started to go home one by one and separate the Wenda family and Mr. Farhan's family.
"Wenda, the strong don't be sad anymore Uncle is next to Wenda really."
"What's? Uncle, so Papah Farhan his uncle this woman means we dong family. What is this dream again?" muttered sister Syanin who was guessing.
Wenda who wiped her tears looked at Sister Syanin questioningly, of course she knew who this woman was. They once had a life experience that was accidentally met with one man. Mr. Farhan who saw Wenda's gaze smiled.
"This is uncle's daughter, Wenda."
Hearing Mr. Farhan's words, Wenda rounded his eyes in disbelief at what he had just heard. "Daughter? since when did you have children?" so the meaning of Wenda's gaze if seen clearly.

The day passed so quickly after the departure of Mr. Rusli, now Adelio who has come back with Lady Fidah who is none other than the Grandmother of the man to the house of Wenda. The mourning atmosphere was still clearly visible Wenda who was wearing all black clothes as well as Lady Dayah and the maid in the house.
Mrs Fidah, who felt guilty about not having time to join during the funeral, apologized to the two women. The day that Mr. Rusli died, on that very day Mrs Fidah was abroad being treated for her vertigo.
Madam Dadah just smiled nodding she understood the situation of Mrs Fidah who was very old. After a long time they talked it was time for Mrs Fidah to talk about her purpose with her only grandchild to the house.
No longer surprised because sooner or later this will happen, Wenda who was hesitant about Adelio's decision again asked, "Are you sure, Mr. Adelio with your words? you don't want to think about it first?"
Adelio who heard Wenda's question only sighed harshly, of course he understood very well what exactly was a burden on Wenda's heart. Of course because of his past, but it was much further Adelio thought before making this decision.
"I'm sure of my decision" he replied, staring into Wenda's eyes right in front of him.
Madam Fidah and Nyonya Dayah just smiled softly at the man's decision, Adelio thought there was no need to tell her Grandma about Wenda's past. That is not the most important thing, as long as they decide to start a new life means there is no longer a past life that they need to discuss in the future.
