When Micah knocked on the door, Kandara opened it. Darel is changing the clothes Kandara gave him.
"Mikha, Manche wants to go back to America. Her daddy went to the hospital, so you get changed, we're waiting for you in the living room,. I'll tell Daddy." Said Darel, who had finished changing clothes. Micah nodded and immediately returned to his room.
After arriving at the guest room, Kandara immediately hugged Manche who was just sitting still. Darel invites them to the living room, so as not to wake Efrima. Not long after, Micah followed them into the living room.
"Manche, what time do you want to get on the plane.?" Ask Darel.
"Well, 'cause I have to go back to the hotel to get my suitcase." Manche.
"Ok, wait a minute. Daddy.., we borrowed Daddy's car and the driver, yes, the three of us would take Manche to the airport." Darel said after seeing Mr. Darpha and Ms. Richel enter the family room.
"Ok, Manche was calm.. Your daddy's fine." Entertain Mr. Darpha while rubbing Manche's shoulder. Ms. Richel went to the kitchen to fill with cookies and mineral water for Manche to bring. Kandara tidied up the manche shirt and put it in its place.
After everything was done, Manche said goodbye to Mr. Darpha, Ms. Richel and Ms. Selvine. Manche's face looked very different from before they had rested. Kandara continued to rub her back.
After arriving at the hotel, Kandara and Manche went to the room to tidy up the suitcase. Micah and Darel were waiting in the lobby. They keep using the mask, so as not to cause unexpected disturbances.
Upon seeing Manche and Kandara coming out of the elevator, Micah approached them and took the room card from Manche and handed it to the receptionist.
Micah requests Manche's phone number to send the ticket Micah had bought.
"This is the plane that in the nearest future can still be. Let's go to the airport so as not to rush. We better wait there." Micah said as he carried Manche's suitcase to put in the car that was still waiting for them near the hotel entrance. After that, they went straight to the airport.
In the car, Kandara sat next to Manche and rubbed her hands. Manche was silent, without saying a word.
After arriving at the airport, not how long Manche immediately check in and before entering the waiting room, Manche pamphit with the three of them. Manche hugged Kandara long in silence., Kandara could only rub her back in silence. Because if she said anything, she would cry.
When Manche was about to part with Darel, Darel hugged her and rubbed her arms. "If you need anything, call us." Darel said, and Manche nodded with tears in her eyes.
So too, when I was about to share with Micah. Micah immediately hugged him and rubbed his back.
"Save my number, if there's anything call me." Whisper Micah, and Manche nodded with tears in her eyes. He turned around and walked into the waiting room with his face down.
All this time, Manche was so tough to face all. Taking care of the company with her Mommy is strong and tough after her Daddy starts to be less healthy. So, sometimes he feels no less great with men.
But after seeing Kandara with Darel, it turns out she's a woman who needs a place to lean. Especially at times like this, when he heard his Daddy was rushed to the Hospital, it seemed like half his strength disappeared.
Although his Daddy only rests at home, he can tell you a lot of things that are going on with the company and his Daddy can give you opinions, advice, advice, suggestions or ideas that make it able to fight in the difficult and hard business world.
'Oh my God..,
Forgive me who often neglects to call upon Your name. Give me strength and help my sick daddy. Protect my flight. Amen.!'
Manche sat in the corner of the waiting room and continued to pray for her Daddy.
The Darel family has taught what it means to be a close family and to fear God.

On the way home from the airport, the three of them had a conversation.
"Manche was my brother, but if it wasn't for Dara I wouldn't know her. I went back to New York." Darel remembers Manche.
"Dara, do you know his family.? I haven't asked Deddy about Manche's family yet. Does he have a brother.?" Ask Darel again.
"No, Manche is like me. He's an only child. Mommy is Indonesian mixed Dutch." Kandara.
"You went to college together.?" Ask Darel again.
"We were both in High School, after college was still one campus but we were different majors. I'm in IT, Manche in Management. Because he's gonna help his Daddy." Kandara.
"Then why can Manche stay with you guys." Ask Darel.
"Because their house in Indonesia wants to be sold, but Mama does not want her to hostel and told her to stay in our house. Because Papa is dead, we both live. Our old house, only 2 rooms, so he was with me. But at night he would rather sleep with his mother. Manche was more listening and closer to her Daddy." Kandara recounts, while remembering Manche.
"Yes, I see, the change in his face the time before we had the same rest that he had." Darel.
"She was just a nag to those close to her. But his heart is very good. That time who met you, because he brought a deposit for Mama and asked me to come take it at the Cafe hotel earlier." Said Kandara and Darel speechless considering the events of 10 years ago.
"Darel, can you take me to the cafe once.?"
"Why..?" Darel asked in surprise.
"I love the atmosphere and the interior of the cafe. That day because of Manche again meeting, I didn't feel good sitting down for long and talking to her." Said Kandara while staring at Darel.
"Ask Micah, if he's allowed to., yes." Darel smiled, and Micah raised his hand making a sign ok. Kandara smiled happily.
"Oooh, yeah, you said there was an old house. Is it far from what it is now.?" Ask Darel.
"No, it's still a complex. Because the kids are grown and want their own room, Mama sold it to buy the house now." Kandara.
Suddenly Kandara's phone shook, it turned out that Manche was calling.
"Allooo, Che.."
"Ra.., please doain yaa. This is I've been boarding. Don't forget Daddy's doain and thank me for Darel and Micah." Manche said with a trembling voice.
"Yeah, I say. Remember that was said by the Grandpaanya children. Ok.?"
"Ok., thank u. lov u.."
"Lov .." Manche ended their conversation.
Suddenly Micah's phone shook, there was a message coming in from Manche.
"Mikha, my ticket is coming later and I've been transferring, yes.sorry.., I forgot to talk to you." Manche Message.
"Don't think about it, just focus on your Daddy's recovery, don't think about anything else." Micah answered Manche's message.
"Yes, thank you Micah."
"Mankie.."
"Yes.."
"Remove your tears, it won't heal your Daddy."
"Yeah.."
"Don't forget to pray before take of."
"Yeah.."
"Tell me after you arrive.."
"Yeah.."
'Gosh, what I did.., she must have cried even more.' Micah. Looking at Manche's short answer, Micah only realized. Manche must be crying.
What Micah thought was right happened. Manche, who had been sitting on the plane, cried even more in silence. It was fortunate that Micah bought his ticket in business class, so that he was not distracted and annoyed others.
Micah's message, though firm, had a deep meaning to Manche. So that he could not reply to Micah's message with more words. Manche could feel the warmth of attention through Micah's words.
