"He is better now, Bob. He wanted to have dinner in his room." Lisa took rice and side dishes for Bobby.
"And now left both of us," Bobby looked at Lisa. She was beautiful, her aura was softer than Yuana. "A romantic dinner," Bobby teased.
"Oh, you tease me." Lisa blushed.
While eating they continued the conversation. About Bobby's college that was getting busy. So far, all was good.
"There's something special." Bobby put down the spoon and looked back at Lisa. Lisa looked up at Bobby. "Someone has a crush on me."
Those words, for some reason, suddenly made Lisa feel uncomfortable.
"Oo ... Is she pretty?" It was what appeared on Lisa's lips.
"Quite pretty." Bobby nodded.
Lisa smiled wryly.
"Don't worry. I'm the loyal type man." Again, Bobby teased Lisa. Bobby's smile widened.
"Have you said you already have a wife?" Lisa was curious, about how Bobby introduced himself at the place where he studied.
"No. Sorry, Lis, I said I have a girlfriend." Bobby didn't want to lie, he just said what the real. "I …"
"It is okay, Bob. If my friends found out I was married, I would be embarrassed too." Lisa answered quickly. Uncomfortable, strange, awkward, somehow explain his feelings.
"Yeah, until now we aren't acting like husband and wife, right? But friends." Bobby grabbed a spoon and started to pick up the food on the plate.
"Yeah ... we're friends." Lisa smiled. They once agreed to be friends. But something stuck in her heart remembering the deal.
Bobby was the first man in Lisa'life. He was very gentle and kind demeanor made Lisa feel so comfortable and calm. Lisa's heart was asking for more actually.
"How's Yuana, Bob?" Suddenly that name popped into Lisa's head.
Bobby lifted his face again, stopping his chewing mouth.
"She's still angry, said Manfred. But she's not vindictive. She has a very kind heart. She's also a poor girl. Since she was little her parents didn't get along. Yuana wasn't happy and didn't feel at home because of that. Her parents only thought about business and themselves." Bobby told about Yuana.
Lisa listened and kept the information in her heart.
"Don't you want to meet her? Explain everything that happened to you. You're too kind, Bob. Yuana shouldn't have misunderstood." Lisa suggested.
"Okay, if nothing goes wrong, I'm going to see her this weekend." Bobby agreed.
After eating Bobby was ready to go to college. Lisa was still clearing the table. Bobby approached him, he hugged and kissed Lisa's forehead. Lisa flinched at that. Her heart immediately rumbled without being able to stop it. She didn't expect Bobby to do that.
"Take care at home. I'm leaving. If you go to the hospital, make sure daddy is safe." Bobby ordered.
Lisa nodded.
Bobby reached for his cellphone which was on the table. There was a chat from Manfred.
Manfred
- An important message from Yuana. Do not be a coward. Come and explain everything. Only then will it be considered whether it can be forgiven.
Bobby smiled reading the message. Yuana, reading the name, the sweet smile of the beloved girl appeared in Bobby's mind. He missed her, he missed her so much. But Bobby's world was so different.
Bobby
- Okay. I'll arrange a time to see her. I'll let you know later.
Bobby put his cellphone in his backpack. He got on his motorbike and left the house.

Amara's condition was getting weaker. Lisa could barely leave her. Lisa hadn't been home for three days. Her father also continued to accompany her mother.
"Lis ..." Amara's voice was low. Lisa put her ear closer to her mother. "I ... cannot stand on ..."
"Mom ..." Lisa held her mother's hand.
"I am … so ... tired..." Amara closed her eyes. Her breath seemed very heavy.
Lisa started to cry. Her heart continued to pray. She left his mother to God. She asked God's strength for her mother, father, and herself.
"Honey ..." Amara called Widyo. "Let me go ... I want to go home ..."
"Amara ... Amara ..." Widyo was crying hugging his wife's arm.
Amara's breathing was getting heavier, one by one ... she looked very suffering. Lisa called the doctor on duty. The doctor and nurses came. They are trying to help. Lisa and her father were waiting outside the room.
Bobby came. From campus, he went straight to the hospital. He slowly approached Lisa who was in front of Amara's room. He patted Lisa's shoulder. Lisa turned and immediately hugged Bobby. She was so scared. Even though she gave up and surrendered, she was still afraid of losing her mother.
Bobby returned Lisa's hug. Without Lisa speaking, Bobby knew what was going on. Amara was getting worse. Bobby also prayed in his heart. He left everything to God.
A few minutes later the doctor came out of the room. Lisa took her hand off from Bobby.
"We've tried, but God has another plan. We're sorry, we couldn't help Ibu Amara." The doctor gave the news.
Lisa's tears broke. Widyo's tears could not be held back. His voice was heart-wrenching for those who hear it. Lisa hugged her father. She knew his father wasn't ready for this. But he must be strong.
"Dad ... Mom is alright now. Her pain is gone. Mom is with God," said Lisa while hugging her father.
"Amara ... Amara ..." Widyo said nothing other than mentioning his wife's name.
Bobby contacted his parents. He took care of all the necessities for the funeral. And the next day the funeral was simple. Family and friends who came all expressed their condolences.
After the funeral, as soon as he arrived home, Widyo, who was really heartbroken, left the house with Bobby's motorbike.
"Oh my God, protect daddy, please ..." Lisa's Prayer. She was very worried.
"Take it easy, Lis. Your father will be fine." Berto tried to calm Lisa down.
"Yes, I hope so." Lisa's heart was still restless.
The house was silent again. Like the first time, Bobby came to this house. Until the next morning, Widyo had not returned. Lisa was getting worried. Along the night she hardly slept.
Until four in the morning she was still awake.
"Let's just pray, Lis. Don't worry. You'll get sick if you don't rest," said Bobby.
"How can I be calm down, Bob?" said Lisa. She was very worried that something bad would happen to her father.
At five in the morning, someone knocked on the door. Of course, it shocked the household. Bobby quickly opened the front door. Lisa followed behind him.
"Good morning." A policeman was standing there.
"Good morning." Bobby looked at the cop worriedly.
"Is it here that Widyo Utomo's residence?" asked the policeman.
"Yes. He is our parent," Bobby answered.
"I am really sorry for bringing bad news. Mr. Utomo. He is currently in a public hospital."
"What? Daddy?!" Lisa was shocked. Her body immediately trembled.
Dewita who was standing nearby hugged Lisa to calm her down. Lisa felt her body go limp. Dewita led her to sit down.
"How is Widyo's condition now, sir?" Berto asked. His face was tense upon hearing the news.
