Mr. Frans, who did not have time to clearly see Ivona's face at the time of the surgery, was now able to clearly observe Ivona. Ivona's behavior and face are very similar to someone in the past, which makes her very sorry. Until that person was no longer heard of his existence until now.
"You're an amazing young girl.., your expertise led the surgery on my illness, I admit that it's amazing. The various hospitals in this country, already giving up on my illness, it turns out that it only took you a few hours to heal me." Mr. Frans praised Ivona.
"Master was too appreciative in praising me. The operation was successful, because of the hard work with all of Mr.'s team, I was just directing how they should work hard. God determined everything sir." in a humble manner, Ivona responded to Frans' appreciation. Richard only acted as a listener for the communication between his father and the girl.
"So there's where you are Doctor.., after I woke up, I asked you and Dr. Marcus to the hospital. To Doctor Marcus.., although I couldn't see him, but I did get word of his busy life as a senior researcher. But about you.., the hospital is very guarding with your privacy faucet. Even with my strength, I can still break through it." Frans recounted how difficult it was to get information about Ivona. The young girl smiled at the old man's complaints.
"Later Mr. Frans can ask Mr. Richard, he will be able to explain. For now, I see that Mr. is very healthy. Just consume vitamins, and reduce fatty foods sir. But if only once in a while, too." didn't want to startle the old man, Ivona didn't tell him her true identity. Suddenly Ivona's eyes saw a photograph, in the frame of the glass closet in the room. His forehead was slightly wrinkled, as the photo was exactly the same as the one in his room. Seeing the young girl stunned at the sight of the glass cupboard, Mr. Frans and Richard looked at the young girl.
"What's Nana.., what are you looking at in papa's glass closet?" Richard was curious, and ventured to ask Ivona directly.
"Can I be allowed to see a picture of the young girl in the cupboard, sir?" ivona surprises Richard, who reminds him of an incident in the past. Once upon a time, the maid accidentally dropped the picture frame and broke the glass. Without asking anything, Mr. Frans immediately fired the maid. To keep from repeating the same incident in the future, the frame began when it was stored in a glass cupboard.
Richard looked at his father's face, and the young man saw there was shock on the old man's face.
"How come pa...., Miss Nana wants to see a photo in that frame?? Does papa allow it?" carefully, Richard asked Mr. Frans.
The old man was silent for a while, seen Mr. Frans taking a deep breath, then exhaling again. Mr. Frans looked into Ivona's face, not knowing why the old man suddenly felt such a closeness to the young girl.
"Take it..!" said Mr. Frans in a soft voice. Without waiting any longer, Richard immediately stood up and stepped into the glass cupboard. The old photo pigura was removed from the glass cupboard, and carefully passed it on to Ivona.
Ivona received the picture frame, gently rubbing a photo of her mother's face when she was young. Suddenly her little heart ached, the young girl missed her mother. Ivona slowly clutched the frame in front of her chest, and for a moment the corner of Ivona's eyes fell into tears. The behavior of the young girl was observed by Richard and Mr. Frans.
"Don't." muttered Mr. Frans softly, his eyes did not move from the girl. Richard turned his head, and the young man was puzzled by what was happening in front of him at this moment.

"Nana.., are you familiar with the photos in that frame?" asked Richard in a soft voice. Slowly Ivona wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes using her fingers, then unexpectedly, the young girl nodded her head. Mr. Frans was surprised by Ivona's reply.
"Don't you." said Mr. Frans. Richard and Ivona immediately turned to the old man's face. It looked like there was a new hope appearing on the old man's face.
"Who is the person in the picture..? Answer Ivona..!" without them at all guessing, Mr. Frans suddenly asked in a slightly loud voice. Richard was shocked and shifted closer to his father, then embraced Mr. Frans to appease him.
"She's a photo of my mom, and I also have this photo exactly, and it's on my room table. My mother's name is Carminda Fabiola, and her first name is enshrined for my last name" Ivona said, wondering, what was the relationship between her mother and the old man in front of her. The young girl glanced at Richard, but the young man simply shrugged both of his shoulders upwards.
Seeing the answer shown by Ivona, Mr. Frans became shocked. With suddenly dim eyes, the old man did not blink looking at the young girl. The silence again covered the room. Richard was confused to see the change in his papa's emotions.
"Does Master Frans know my mother?? Otherwise, why would you keep my photo here." full of question marks, Ivona asked the old man. Hearing the young girl's question, Mr. Frans nodded his head, and tears welled up in his eyelids slowly flowed down his already wrinkled cheeks. Seeing the old man's reaction, Ivona and Richard gasped. The two looked at each other.
"Where is Carminda currently?? There's something I really need to confirm with him." Suddenly Mr. Frans asked about Ivona's mother's whereabouts. The girl gasped at Mr. Frans' question.
"Ivona hasn't seen your mama in a long time.. Said Aunt Sonya.., the one who likes to help at home, mom went to the lab. Ivona also knows.., not as easy as our minds, if you want to meet with mama." with a wry smile, Ivona answered Mr. Frans' question.
"For your father.., is he still alive?" Mr. Frans continued to pursue questions on the young girl. Ivona was silent, in her heart she felt astonished. For what Mr. Frans wanted to know his father, he had not seen his father from birth until now.
"I've never seen papa Tuan.., said mama papa has died since I have not been born into this world" said Ivona lirih.
