Her morning.
Zio who was still inside the treatment room turned his head, when he heard the door open from outside. He immediately stood up to greet his two new in-laws.
Santi did not respond, he gave a look and approached the bed of the patient opposite Zio standing, right beside his daughter.
Raka who saw the scene let out a short breath while shaking slowly. "Zio, go home first, let Mama take care of Sarah. Zio must not have been the wife of last night, right?"
True what Raka said, from last night his daughter-in-law had not slept at all.
"It's okay, Pa. Zio wants to be here,"
"Already, you go home there, let me take care of Sarah," said Santi ketus, putting on his jutek face.
"But Ma-"
"Have gone home! Don't be pretentious to care about you with Sarah," Santi cut still in a thin tone.
"Ma.." said Raka.
"Excuse me, sir" a waitress came into the room with breakfast, and put it on the table.
"Ma, Zio wants to be here waiting for Zio's wife" he said.
Santi did not respond, only his mouth twitched. Since last night, he could not say softly anymore with his daughter-in-law. He lost respect when he knew Zio's treatment of his daughter all along. In the past, he was so dear to Zio, now seeing even he was reluctant.
Then, Santi walked out of the room.
"Well, Ma, where are you going?" ask Raka.
Santi stopped his steps, looking at her husband. "You just wait outside, it's sultry!" At a glance, Santi glanced at Zio, saw him by raising his eyeballs, then resumed his steps out of the room.
Raka shook her head slowly. "Zio, do not enter the heart of your mother's words. He is so if you are upset again. It'll be good on its own, too,"
"Yes Pa, it's okay, Zio knows Zio has been wrong on Sarah,"
Raka reviews the smile, then gets closer to the patient's bed, looking at her still-asleep daughter.
"Now we can only pray together for a miracle for Sarah's recovery,"
"Pa, don't talk like that, Sarah's gonna get well!"
Raka looked at Zio for a moment, then turned her face away while wiping the corners of her eyes that were getting wet. "Papa wants to go to the office first, if Zio is tired, ask Mama to replace," the message before leaving the room.
Zio was flabbergasted, dropping back himself on the chair. He took Sarah's hand, grasped it tightly. "Wake up Honey, brother kangen we joke again. Brother will never again leave dear," she cried profusely.

At half-hour 9 am, the doctor went into the treatment room, about to check on Sarah.
"How's my wife doing, Doc?" zio asked after the doctor checked on Sarah.
The doctor revealed a faint smile, looking at Zio's worried face. "Just don't burden his mind. If the patient's body begins to improve, maybe 2 or 3 days more, we can do surgery to remove the malignant tumor lodged in his head, and will be continued with chemotherapy. We pray together, may this process work,"
The doctor's account made Zio surprised, because the doctor did not tell him how many parsen Sarah could recover after the operation.
Zio sat weakly on the chair, less restless and had not eaten since last night, making his head hurt, plus the nausea that also afflicted him.
"Then, excuse me, sir," The doctor who was accompanied by the nurse left the room.
Unable to bear the nausea, Zio walked to the bathroom, massaging his forehead.
In front of the sink, Zio took out the contents in his stomach that felt stirred.
After that he came back out.
"Remember..."
Hearing the familiar voice calling out, Zio immediately approached, standing beside the patient bed, gently rubbing his wife's head.
Sarah took Zio's hand that was on her head, clasping with both hands. "Abang, Sarah wants to go home, Sarah doesn't want to be here to bother you, brother,"
The feeling of haru instantly enveloped Zio's heart, until the tears that he tried to endure, now begat already. "Honey, don't talk like that, you never feel bothered at all,"
Zio shook his head quickly, enduring the tightness in his chest.
"Are you afraid Sarah will die?"
Zio's chest grew even more, hearing the sentence his wife said. He took Sarah's hand and kissed her. "It's a shame to be cured, don't talk like that again,"
Sarah smiled at the smile. "Don't we all die? Why would you be afraid if Sarah dies,"
"Stop, Sarah! Stop saying that word!" he concluded quickly while turning his back to his wife.
"Abang, I'm sorry Sarah, if you haven't been able to make you happy all this time,"
Zio's body trembled even more at Sarah's words.

Missionsion.
Zidan just left for the office. While Salsa walks out looking for Joshua who last night picked up Zio at Sarah's house.
"Where are you going?"
Salsa halted her steps, seeing Zia walking over. "Mother wants to go to your brother's woman's house,"
"Adek come with Mother. It felt like Adek was not satisfied yesterday to beat up the lady," Zia punched her left palm with her right hand.
Salsa's eyebrows clutched, staring at her daughter. "What did Adek do yesterday?"
"Hehehe, just grab her hair, Mother. But Adek was not satisfied, because yesterday Abang broke up. Wonder what, Mother? At that time yesterday, no one felt guilty at all Sarah. Sarah also Adek see mediocre, even he's like a frightened person,"
"I mean Adek?" salsa asked with a firmer forehead.
"I guess, you must have often scolded Sarah all this time, Sarah was silent, because she was afraid to be angry with you, Abang,"
"Why is Adek keeping this a secret from Mother?"
"Yes, Mommy knows what your brother's face is if he begs again. Yeah, well, it's not hard, Adek,"
"But Mommy, actually Adek has long known. Because Abang begged Adek not to convey to Mother, finally Adek shut up,"
"Since when?"
"It was a long time before you married Sarah. Mommy knows? In the past Adek also often saw Abang out of the room at midnight. But Adek doesn't know where he's going,"
"Hm, yeah, let's go now. Uh, but isn't Adek going to college today?"
"There's only afternoon class, Bun,"
They get out, looking for Joshua to drive Carla.

At the hospital, Zio was feeding Sarah with food between the waitresses.
"Dragon, Sarah's full,"
"Honey, this isn't half over yet, time is full?"
"But Sarah was full, really,"
"One more bribe, aaaa," Zio also opened his mouth while bribing a spoon into Sarah's mouth.
Sarah shook her head while covering her mouth with her hands.
