“I think what Bruna said was right (I think what Bruna said was true )”


“About what ? (What about? )”


“Her! (Day )”


“??”


“That Psychiatrist Ilse. She has a feeling to you (That psychiatrist, Ilse. She has feelings for you )”


“Since when you have become a chatterer? (When have you been a gossip? )” Babe at Damian's speech just now.


Damian immediately chuckled at the babbling of the Son just now.


“Be delicate, Son. The way she looks and smile to you is different that what she shows to me, Add, Bruna and Garret (Look a little, Son. The way he looks and smiles at you is different from what he shows


to me, Ad, Bruna and Garret )”


The son only smiled faintly as he looked into Ilse's room where the beautiful young psychiatrist was doing his therapy session with Anthony. Although Anthony was already a little quick to respond if anyone was talking to him, but his lips were somehow still tightly clenched to make a sound.


“All of my concern is Anthony. And we really have to think about what we have to start in this country (All that concerns me is Anthony. We also need to think about what we need to start


in the country )” Say Putra.


“At least you need to try to build a relationship with a woman (At least you need to try to be close to a woman )”


“Not important (Unimportant )”


“How if Anth likes it? (What if Anth likes it? ). Ask Damian.


“We will see about it (Let's see later )”


Son and Damian then stop their conversation because Anthony seems finished with his therapy with Ilse.


**


“Is Anthony shown another progress? (Does Anthony show any new developments? )”


“Yes, Anthony had shown another progress since the last time, but still he won’t to open his mouth”


“( Anthony has shown progress since last time, but still he does not want to open his mouth )”


“....”


“Is a rare condition, but me and Anthony was interact for two weeks and also not meet everyday. So it really takes time”


“ (Rarid condition, but Anthony and I have only interacted for two weeks and did not meet every day. So yes it does take )”


“I see (I understand )”


Son of mangosteen – mangosteen.


Then the Son said goodbye after it was felt that there was nothing else he wanted to ask Ilse about Anthony who was outside the room Ilse with Damian.


“Eem Mister Son ..” Call Ilse on Putra look a little doubtful – hesitate.


“Yes?”


Ilse looked at him with a gaze that the Son did not understand.


Ilse also looks doubtful and a little shy – shy. “Maybe next time we meet, you want to take a coffee with me? (Maybe next time we meet, will you have a cup of coffee with me? )”


The son did not answer.


“I can’t promise. But we will see about it later (I don't promise. But just look later )”


“Thank you (Thank you )” said Ilse who seemed a little flushed. The son said goodbye again and Ilse led him to the front door of the room.


***


Damian and Putra were with Anthony, who was now in Putra's arms talking along the corridor of the Hospital from Ilse's room to the parking lot.


There's a garden in the middle of the hospital with a big tree there. Anthony pulled the Son's hand slowly and coded as if he wanted to play there.


“You want to play there Anth? (You want to play there, Anth? )”


Anthony nodded.


“Let him play there Putra. We can wait and sit at there”


“(Just let him play first there Son. We can wait and sit there )”


Damian pointed to a wooden chair in the garden and Putra immediately nodded.


“Don’t go too far, hem?. Just play not too far from me and Uncle Dami (Don't play far –, hem?. Play in a place not far from me and Uncle Dami )”


Anthony nodded slowly. Then he seemed to run small towards the middle of the garden covered with short grass and approached the big tree in the middle of the park.


Son and Damian smiled to see Anthony who looked happy in the park even though only trees and shady plants there.


“I think we need to take him out quiet often. Maybe he bored (I think we should take him out often. Maybe he was bored )” said Putra


“Ya I agree with you (I agree with you )” Sahut Damian while nodding in agreement.


The son and Damian, who had been sitting on a wooden chair in the park, then talked about their plans in the future in the country they live in now.


About the business they will start, the following types and choices of places where they will start building it.


“I am thinking about managing the tea garden (I'm thinking of managing a tea plantation )


“I think that’s a good idea. We can start from there (I think that's a good idea. We can start from there )”


Damian confirms the Son's words again.


“Let us talk with Add, Bruna and Garret after we comeback. But the tea garden of ours at Villa was not too big. Better we buy all of the tea garden around it”


“(Later we talk to AD, Bruna and Garret after we return home. But the tea plantations we have are not very big. We should buy tea plantations around it also )”


“.......”


“And after that we can ask Mr. Abdul, Ms. Marsih and Suheil to find people to work in it (And after that we can ask Mr. Abdul, Mother Marsih and Suheil looking for people to work there )”


The son nodded at Damian's words and advice just now.


Damian nodded and with Putra was about to call Anthony to take him home. But they immediately stood up from their seats because Anthony was not in their sight.


Damian and Putra instantly became panicked.


“Anth!” Damian and Putra call – call Anthony and scatter around the park.


But Anthony did not Damian and Putra found around the hospital park.


“I will look in the front, maybe Anth walked there! (I'll look forward, maybe Anth walks there )”


“I will looking around here, then (I'll search around here, then )”


Damian and Putra split the task of searching in different sections within the Hospital.


While Damian walked towards the front lobby of the Hospital, Putra swung his steps quickly to go to a hallway of the patient room around the park.


**


The son quickly looked for Anthony in some of the patient rooms whose doors were open. It was possible that the little boy was idly and entered one of them. But Son did not find Anthony in any of the patients' rooms.


The son looked down at the end of the hall and there seemed to be a nurse-only room there.


“Anth!” The son immediately exclaimed when he saw Anthony was in someone's arms and ran small but fast to snatch Anthony from the sling of the person holding Anthony.


“Eh!”


The person holding Anthony was suddenly gasped when the Son snatched Anthony from his carrier.


“Oh Anth, I have been looking for you (I'm looking for you where – where )” Say Putra without caring about the whereabouts of the person holding Anthony earlier.


Anthony also seemed to eat the bread in his hand.


“I am – so sorry, Mister.. (I'm – sorry, Mr. ).. He is's.. (Her ) .. He's.. (Day ) ..”


“Speak by language only, if you have any difficulties. I understand Bahasa Indonesia” Putra said.


The new son noticed the person holding Anthony just now.


She's a woman, a nurse at the hospital. The son recognized the profession of the woman from her uniform.


A bit of a peek, because the woman can make Anthony want him to carry when it is certain Anthony and the nurse who just carried him was just met for the first time.


'Beautiful! ( Pretty! )'


Amazingly, the nurse that Putra suspected was a prospective nun considering the hospital where they are now is an iconic hospital with a certain religion and the hospital is thick with religious elements.


But little heart Son remembered Ilse who had been doing therapy sessions with Anthony for two weeks, and maybe the development that Ilse said earlier was Anthony began to be able to accept new people around him


effortlessly. Make the spirit of Putra's heart become increased to add therapy sessions with Ilse and thank the beautiful Psychiatrist.


‘Maybe I have to accept the invitation to have a coffee with Ilse (Maybe I received an invitation to have coffee together from Ilse )’


Son ingrained. But he still pay attention to the nurse who according to Putra is a prospective nurse whose face is indeed beautiful, typical of Indonesia. Beautiful as Ilse, but the nurse seemed to have another attraction in her.


“Ah Yes. Sorry sir, I was just about to find the boy's parents. Sorry, my English is not very good. This kid came into our room, so I thought he was lost. And I'm just gonna help him


back at his parents”


“Iya thank you”


The son thanked the nurse politely.


“Sama – equals Sir. Excuse me then”


The son nodded at the nurse.


“Oh yes, I hope you don't mind because I gave her bread. Because when I offered him he nodded”


“Iya. Once again thank you”


“Same – sama”


The nurse politely replied and smiled at the son.


“Byee (Beah )”


The female nurse waved her hand after touching Anthony's cheek. He looks anxious.


But again the Son was surprised by the reaction of Anthony who immediately turned his head after the nurse touched Anthony's cheek.


And yet another surprise for Son, Anthony waved back at him. ‘Maybe because of the bread she gave to Anth (Maybe because she gave Anth bread )’


Then the son turned around and left the hallway, simultaneously Damian who came with half run from the front of the Hospital then sighed with relief because he had seen Anthony who was in the sling of the Son.


Then the three stepped away to the car to return to the house that Addison and Bruna had rented.


**


Son Damian and Anthony have returned to the house that Addison and Bruna rented.


At nightfall, Son and Damian discuss what he and Damian discussed in the hospital park with Addison, Bruna and Garret after driving Anthony to bed.


Putra explained his plan to the four colleagues, the, then agreed to Putra's proposal to start their business in the country they live in now by starting to manage a tea plantation located around their Villa which is far outside the Capital.


“Then we need to go back to our Villa. At least few of us and you have to go also Putra”


“(Then we have to go back to Villa, at least some of us and you also have to go Son )”


“I can’t leave Anth, he still has some sessions therapy with Ilse (I can't leave Anth, he still has therapy sessions with Ilse )”


“....”


“And I don’t know how long (And I don't know until how long )”


“Thinking about something Son. If we wait for Anth get normal, we won't start anything and mean we give a big opportunity for Jaeden”


“( Think of something Son. If we wait until Anth is right – is completely normal, we will not be able to start everything and that means we give a great opportunity to Jaeden )”


“....”


“You know what that means right? (You understand what that means, right? )”
