In the big hospital, a girl who was lying weak.Today began to move her hands, thus making two middle-aged people of different sexes surprised and happy.

The woman in her forties panicked and pressed the emergency button.Not long after, the doctor came with the nurse.

"Doctor, how's my daughter doing?"ask the woman who is the mother of the girl.

Just now the woman said, suddenly the girl's eyes opened after a year of lying in a coma.

"Shifana, you're finally conscious son." said the woman approached the princess.

The girl named Shifana was staring around her.She saw the woman she called mommy and the man she called daddy was also there.Shifana saw both her parents standing with a smile sumringah to her.The warm smile she wanted all this time.

And he also saw the doctor and nurse staring at him.

Then he looked around his surroundings, the person he was looking for did not exist.

Disillusioned. That was how he felt right now, his friends were not present by his side.

Maybe they are busy. His mind speaks

"It's really a miracle, patients can come to their senses this fast" the doctor told Shifana's parents

"Thank you God, you have awakened my daughter." muttered the man who was Shifana's daddy

"Son, what do you want? Want to drink or want anything.Say baby, mommy will do anything for you." said Shifana mommy gently

"Mom."he said, his tongue felt faint and his lips felt dry

"You want to drink, son, for a while." said the mommy, then the woman named Lestari took a glass of water to drink Shifana.Dengan slowly Shifana drink it to the toilet half a glass.

"How are you, baby? What's that hurting?"ask Lestari

"My body feels like mommy's numb." Shifana said softly

"It does happen often in patients who wake up after a coma.For that, the patient must do light movements first.In order to facilitate movement as usual." said the doctor explained, then he paid out with his nurse

Now, it was Shifana and her parents.Shifana looked at the man who always rejected her from childhood until now.She just kept quiet and didn't say anything.She was tired enough,calling the man he called Daddy the man who always ignored him with a thousand reasons.In fact, even a small time can be counted several times the man accompanied his play.

And now, he does not want to be disappointed again.Let everything go properly.He only needs to follow the destiny that God has set.Shifana again looked at the face of the mommy.

Meanwhile, Arshaka who had wanted to say something to be urung.She wanted to say many things to Shifana.Kata sorry alone is not enough she explained.Shifana is the only daughter of her puppet with Lestari, she said,the girl who was born from a woman she didn't love.The little girl she used to let play by herself, and there was only a housekeeper accompanying her.

The days of Arshaka were occupied only in work and his second wife, he did not care about his first wife and his first daughter.

Actually, it is not the threat of the father that makes Arshaka afraid.But the accident that befell Shifana into a coma that makes him feel, of course.Fear of losing Shifana, the feeling of fear of losing Shifana, maybe that was how he felt when he heard of the accident that befell his daughter.

Feeling ignored, Arshaka finally came out of his daughter's room.When outside, he walked and passed the man he called papa.

"How's my grandson doing?"ask Edrick with a little fuss

"He's dead." said Arshaka

"Thank God." said Shifana's grandfather in gratitude, then he looked at his son's face and clothes.

A little messy, that's what he saw.

"Where are you going?"edrick asked after looking at his son

"I want to go home first pa, my body is a little tired" Arshaka said

"You have it carefully." said Edrick

"What did you just say?"takeshi said with a trenchant tone

"She's a cave girl, I want to get her ahh." said Marcelian again teasing Takeshi by pretending to stand up
