"We say goodbye, sir, ma'am," Tasya told his parents. He greeted both his parents and was followed by Banyu.
"It's fine there, nduk, nurut same husband."
"Yes mom.."
"Rafis are also. Don't be naughty.."
"Ready mbah!"
Tasya's mother smiled at Rafis' funny behavior. Then he kissed the cheeks of his beloved grandson.
"For you son, take good care of your father and mother. I trust him to live with you. Please keep your promise not to disappoint and hurt our child. Both psychically and physically. Enough of our son to suffer from his previous marriage. We hope now he can find true happiness with you, son." Tasya's father's message to Banyu.
"God willing, sir." Banyu Sahut.
"Father trusts you."
"Yes, go there. The airport is far away.you have to move faster," said Tasya's mother.
"Ngih ma'am.. Assalamu'alaikum's chat.."
"Wa'alaikumsalam."
Tasya, Banyu, Rafis and their baby sitter, take a taxi to take them to the airport. In the hand of both Tasya's parents and relatives, the taxi left the yard of the house.
In the taxi, Tasya looked at Banyu, with Banyu also staring at his wife. Smiles rose from both of their lips. It still feels like a beautiful dream for both of them. A marriage without such a plan really made both of them feel amazingly happy. Because, deep down in both of their hearts, that was exactly what they wanted so much. Unite without any hindrance.
That's how a soul mate, a soul mate comes unexpectedly. In fact, sometimes a soul mate comes through things that seem silly. Banyu and Tasya. They were actually united because of something ridiculous. Just because Banyu volunteered in the midst of the chaos of Tasya and Putra's engagement, they got married without a plan. Tasya is destined for Banyu. However, their journey is a little complicated until fate unites them with the unexpected before.
"Where will I go?" Tasya asked with a timid facial expression.
"To my house." Banyu Firm.
"So.."
"Let's get all your stuff and Rafis in your house."
Tasya smiled and lowered her face in shame.
"Bag.."
"Yes?"
"We haven't asked Tika for her blessing yet."
Banyu looked at Tasya closely. Then he smiled and breathed.
"We stopped by Tika's grave.. Later, if all the business is done."
"Yes." Yeah." Banyu nodded and smiled at Tasya.
"Thank you dear." Connect again.
"Tasya just smiled sweetly, to reply to Banyu's thanks. Then he threw his gaze out the window of the taxi that continued to go in the middle of the street Solo City. However, Tasya just wanted to say Thank you to Tika, even though the woman was gone. Tasya is sure, Banyu can be a great man like that at this time, all there must be Tika's contribution in the process of Banyu's long journey to become a real man. Because behind a great man, there is an extraordinary woman who is able to make the man become good and continue to be better.

Alia's hand moved slowly this afternoon in the ICU room. Marking his consciousness starting to return. Soon, the girl opened her eyes slowly. Then he stared at the ceiling of the ICU room with his sad eyes.
"I where?" His inner. Then he tried to find another figure in the room. His eyes were fixed on Anton who was asleep in the chair that was right beside Alia's bed, with his head resting on the bed.
"Papa." Call him in a barely audible voice.
Anton flinkered, it seemed that the man looked so tired, that his sleep in such a makeshift position made him stay asleep.
"Pa.." Call Alia again. But this time he tried to touch the hand of the man who had raised him.
Anton flinched, he woke up from his sleep, then he looked at Alia who was staring at him with a puddle of tears in the beautiful eyes of her daughter.
"Alia!" Anton immediately stood up from his seat and looked at his daughter carefully.
"You're up.." Say again.
Then he pressed the emergency button to call the nurses and doctors. Then he looked back at Alia who looked pale.
"Papa.. Alia's sorry..." Alia immediately cried regretting what had happened to her.
"It's okay, kid.. Papa apologized to you." Anton sobbed as he said his apology to his only daughter.
"The wrong alia. Suppose Alia complies with papa's words, maybe this will never happen."
"It's okay. The important thing now is, you're okay son." Anton hugged his daughter. A few nurses and donters came into the room.
"We'll check first sir. Please wait outside." Pinta the medics.
"Good sir." Anton releases his embrace from Alia. Then he walked out of the room with a worried look.
In front of the ICU room, Anton sat with a haggard face. He tried to remember all his shortcomings as a parent. He was too loose to let others stay one roof with himself and Alia. While he already knew, how minus the behavior of the man he accommodated. Just because he loved his son who was afraid of losing him, he allowed him to stay there. And as a man, he should know, As good as a man, if given the opportunity to live with a woman who is not his wife, it will certainly slip too. It's all about temptation and opportunity. He should have realized that from the beginning.
He was also a man who had been far from the word 'Good'. He often betmain women, to make his wife feel disappointed in him and reciprocate his behavior with the same thing. Anton began to realize, what he did was not much different from the Son. Now, he knows very well what it is like to be the parents of women who he has always only considered as mere toys.
He began to cry, he remembered Devonna, his ex-wife. Basically, Devonna is a good woman, but is already tired of injuries. Early in their marriage, Devonna loved and served Anton very sincerely. But it was because of himself that made Devonna become drastically changed. He often plays women out there, but he is not able to accept the same from his wife. Regret also perched and continued roaring. He then ventured to contact Devonna.
"Hello.."
"Hello.." Voice from the end there.
"How are you?"
"Anton's?" Tanya Devonna who now lives in her home country.
"Yes, it's me."
Devonna was silent for a moment. After that he let out a long sigh that Anton could clearly hear.
"My news is good." Devonna Sahut.
"I want to apologize."
"You..?" Of course Devonna was surprised when she heard Anton's apology. Because all this time, Anton hated himself so much, because of a mistake that he had only made one time. It was an affair with Anton's personal assistant.
"No problem, I also want to apologize to you." Devonna Sahut.
"Are you still with him?"
Devonna was silent, the middle-aged woman had long since separated from her cheating man. And now he is serving his days only as a punishment for him. He lost everything, including his biological son who often restricted Anton to communicate with him.
"No." Devonna Sahut.
"Will you go back to Jakarta?" Ask Anton again.
"What's wrong? Why suddenly?" Devonna asked who was beginning to feel suspicious about the unexpected offer.
"Kuta's son entered the hospital. He tried to kill himself. I beg you, perhaps with your presence, his spirit will return."
"It...!" Devonna sounded in shock.
"I'm sorry,"
"Now how is it?"
" It's still in the ICU. Come. I'll send you a ticket soon."
"Good."
"Thank you Devonna."
"Together Anton."
The call is over. Anton let out a long breath and returned pensive. He began to move from his seat when he saw medical personnel coming out of the ICU room.
"How's my daughter doing doc?" She asked with a face that looked so worried.
"Miss Alia needs intensive care. We'll see tomorrow, if things continue to improve, Miss Alia we'll move her to the hospital room soon."
"Good doc. Can I see my son now?"
"Could sir. Please take care if there is anything you can call us. We'll be quick to handle and give our best to Ms. Alia."
"Thank you doc."
"Together."
Anton immediately entered the room. He looked at Alia with a loving look as well as regret. Then he hugged the princess tightly. And said thousands of apologies with tears constantly flowing from the corner of his eyes.
"Pardon the father who is too much lacking his parenthood. I hope you can forgive me."
"Alia's also sorry pa..." Sahut Alia with sobs of her regret.
"How is Pa's son?"
"Don't talk about him anymore. No matter what happens, you will take full responsibility for yourself. Forget him. Papa will replace everything with a better one."
"meaning?"
"Papa will be a better father. Papa will always be there for you. Papa also allows you to keep in touch with your mother. And when there's a chance... Papa will open a new page with your mama. Papa will clear everything.. You will not lack love anymore. Papa promised me, I'll give you anything for you. If you promise, you will forget him and live better. Let's live better.. For the best."
Alia looked at Anton closely. Then she came back crying, but this time it was a happy cry. We cry to welcome a better life. In hopes that his family will be able to be whole again. He can live well and happiness can he embrace again in the love of his parents.
"Thank you papa." His whisper was soft in the father's ear.
