Frans was lying in a hospital bed with an infusion hose stuck in his hand, Alsa had been waiting for him in the hospital all alone since morning. Grace is having an appendectomy, and Camelia and Davin are returning home after a night of waiting.

This morning Davin had an important meeting at his office, and Camelia was going back to the hospital in a taxi.

While reading the novel that Gerry bought, Alsa is surprised by Frans who suddenly opens his eyes.

He who was still afraid of Frans immediately stood up from his seat and took three steps back, the shadow of him being slapped and berated Frans still spinning in his brain.

"Don't be afraid, son. Om won't hurt you" Frans said in a stammering voice, the old man then leaned back. He seemed to have trouble doing it, so Alsa would not want to help him.

"Om, I'm calling the doctor, okay?" alsa asked a little afraid, she thought maybe if there was a Doctor in the middle of them would reduce the awkwardness that was enveloping the two.

But Frans shook his head, he looked at Alsa's beautiful face. And he now knew why his eldest son loved Alsa so much. Frans smiled then hinted Alsa to sit on the chair next to her hospital bed.

"Om sorry, it's been mean to you all along, son. I'm sorry, so sorry." Frans looked away when he was so evil to Alsa who was still a child, so that it affected Davin who left his house. Choose to live in an apartment and keep a distance from him.

"Om wrong, son. Now the Lord has given His miracle to Om, and has awakened Om from the greed that has blinded Om's eyes. Forgive Om, Alsa. You're a good girl, Om misjudged you all along."

"I've never been mad at you, Om" that's all Alsa can say. Alsa didn't know what else to say to Frans.

Frans smiled and thanked me.

******

Camelia, Grace and Gerry are in the hospital. They smiled happily when they saw Alsa chattering whether to tell what with Frans, even seen them laughing freely when there is a funny part of the story.

Grace's whole life, just this time seeing Frans laughing. The girl was happy to see her family regrouping harmoniously.

"Sir, you're not here yet, are you?" grace asked while peeling the apples for Frans.

"Not yet, Brother."

"Is there a connection to you?"

Alsa shook her head again, she was actually also waiting for a chat from Davin. But until the afternoon arrived, the chat that awaited did not also come.

Alsa was a little disappointed, because on the sidelines of Davin's working hours, the man always asked Alsa news. But now, not a single chat was sent by him.

They all turned their eyes towards the door that was opened, it was Davin who came.

The man looked very handsome in his formal suit, Alsa smiled with relief at the sight of her brother already in front of her eyes.

But the smile faded instantly when a graceful mature woman came from behind the man, the hijab-wearing woman who was none other than the teacher of Alsa.

Bu Rena's.

The woman put the fruits that she brought to the nightstand, she looked very familiar with Davin. Sometimes they whisper and then laugh.

Alsa felt her chest was very tight and painful, the girl seemed unwilling if Davin was with other women.

But, if viewed from anywhere they are compatible as lovers. Equally mature, handsome and beautiful, especially Bu Rena is a very wise and patient teacher. Matches with Davin who has a hard nature.

"Om, Aunt. Alsa said to go home first, tomorrow Alsa came here again," said Alsa who could not bear to see the familiarity of Davin and Rena, even the man did not turn his head at all. He was too happy with Rena.

"Davin, Anterin Alsa's home, gih." Camelia tells Davin to take Alsa, but she is having a conversation with Rena. Seen the man put on a lazy face and clucked slowly, Alsa was getting sicker.

"Ger, Anterin Alsa bentar, huh? I just got home tired, tired." Davin reasoned. If he wanted to, he could rest in the apartment.

"Follow"

"Alsa pamit, assalamualaikum." Alsa left them.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," answered Camelia astonished.

"Basar insensitive guy!" sindir Grace was sadistic while glancing at Davin.

"Millions are sought, have been met dicuekin. Ilang again mampus lo!" gerry was upset, he immediately ran after Alsa. The man is still traumatized by the incident his sister was kidnapped by Ken.

Davin, who heard the insinuations of Grace and Gerry, only realized that he was busy himself. Instantly he who remembered Alsa's hurt gaze, felt pain and disappointment in himself who forgot the presence of the girl.

He immediately ran out to catch up with Alsa, ignoring Rena's astonished gaze. But free, the girl had already passed away with Gerry.

And now Davin is really damning his stupidity.
