"Are you still a lot of work?" Daniel said when he called Stella.

"It's over soon. What's up?" Answer Stella.

"So dad called, he said Mama was sick. Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Yes, Mas. You're taking me here. I'm coming with." Answer Stella.

"Yeah, I'm picking you up now!"

"Ok, Mum."

"I Love you."

"I Love you too Mas."

Daniel disconnects his phone, and prepares to pick up Stella.

Daniel's heart was thrilled, as he was about to meet the woman he had longed for all day.

"Darling, I'm downstairs." Daniel called Stella back, when he got to Stella's office building.

"Yes. I'm down now." Answer Stella.

Daniel's face sparkled with delight, as he saw Stella walking closer to his car.

Stella kisses Daniel's hand, and Daniel replies by kissing Stella's forehead.

"Come on." Daniel opens the car door for Stella.

"Thank you." Stella was happy.

Daniel drives his car to the hospital where Mama Sovia is being treated.

"How are you doing today?" Daniel asked, holding Stella's hand.

"Yes, walk as usual." Answer Stella

"You know what not? It feels like a long time today."

"Why? how long can it be?"

"So, I miss you all day." Daniel embraces Stella.

Stella is leaning on Daniel's shoulder.

"Lebay, you are Mas." Answer Stella.

"Seriously! I want to hurry home and see you."

"Oh yes Mas. What's your sick mom?"

"No idea. Said Mama's father suddenly fainted at home."

"May Mama be okay!"

"Aamiinu. I hope so."

Daniel and Stella kept talking, so it didn't feel like they had reached where they were.

Daniel clasped Stella's hand as he was about to enter the hospital, knowing that Stella was a little nervous.

"Is Mama angry with me?" Stella asked as they walked down the aisle, towards Mama Sovia's room in the care.

"No. Even Mama misses you."

"The hell mas! I'm not good with Mama, because I've made a fuss in your family."

"Udah, don't think about it again. Mama must have been smirking, see you coming" Daniel tried to calm Stella down.

Stella exhales, as Daniel opens the door to the room where Mama is being cared for.

"So, relax, don't get nervous."Daniel again.

Stella said, He walked side by side with Daniel who did not release his hand on Stella's hand.

It's not what. There's still a sense of unease in Stella's heart in Leo. Who once tried to touch him.

"Mama Why?" Daniel said as he got closer to Mama Sovia's bed.

Leo and Mama Sovia turned to Daniel.

With hesitation Stella aligned herself with Daniel.

Make It now in front of Leo and Mama Sovia.

Leo moved away a little, as Daniel and Stella approached Mama Sovia.

"Stella, baby. How are you, son?" Mama Sovia clasped Stella's hand when Stella was next to Mama.

"Stella's good Mam." Stella replied, Down.

"Mama why?" Ask Daniel again.

"Mama is okay. Mama's head was dizzy."

"Where do you know Mama's here?" ask Mama Sovia.

"So dad called, and told Daniel to come straight here. Said Dad's coming a little late." Daniel said, Rubbing the middle-aged woman's hair.

"Sorry Daniel yes Mam. lately Daniel is busy in the office. To pay less attention to the condition of Mama."

"It's okay, Niel. Mama Seneng, you bring Stella here." replied Mama While wiping Stella's hand.

Leo who sat on the sofa could only see the conversation between Mama, Daniel and Stella.

Leo still felt awkward to blend in.

"Mam, Leo get out first yeah, a minute." Leo's saying goodbye.

"Where are you going Lee?"

"Leo just wants to have a coffee in the cafeteria, Mam."

"Oh, Yasudah. Then." Then."

"Bang, I'll stay first." Say Leo before you go.

"Yes." Yeah." Daniel answered briefly.

"Today, Mama was so happy." Say Mama.

"Happy why Mam?" Ask Daniel.

"Today Mama's happy that you brought Stella here. And one more thing, Leo will soon introduce his future wife to Mama and Dad."

Daniel's heart rippled at Mama Sovia's words. There was a sense of joy and relief in his heart.

"Where did you meet? How can we be together?" Ask Mama Sovia.

"We met in Bandung yesterday Mam." Answer Stella.

"That's the name of a mate. As far as you avoid, if a soul mate will surely meet." Mama said with a happy voice.

Daniel and Stella just smiled.

"Wish you could be together again!"

"The plan is Mam." Daniel answered, Holding Stella.

"Ih, freelancing Mas. Shame to know Mama!" Whisper Stella shy.

"It's okay. From now on, everyone should know that we're an inseparable couple." Daniel said with a crisp laugh.

Mama Sovia laughed happily.
