Iis was picking up Juan's nightgown when Juan entered the room and locked the door.
“These baths first, but no hot water, want me to make it first?” tanya Iis while keeping Juan's nightgown on the bed.
“Yang, sorry I released Rozak so I hit...”.
“Good you hit him, if not you who hit him before want me to slap his lips,” cut Iis while taking a clean towel for Juan to use from inside his bedroom closet.
“Eh...”.
“I heard it all, Mas. I didn't want to go out of the room, but Kang Rozak's talk was getting brazen with you, so I came out. When I came out I saw you fighting on the floor. Keep looking at Kang Rozak's bruised face, I'm sure you're okay,” said Iis while looking at Juan who was sitting on the edge of the mattress.
“You heard it all?”
“Iya I horrified everything, somehow Kang Rozak suddenly rich is not ridho that I married you, his brain was shocked rich. I think I want to scream, yesterday - yesterday where aja sir?” Iis said while trying to smile a little.
“You do not whisk him anyway, far away,” pinta Juan while taking a towel from Iis.
“Yes, I've let you take a shower. I took a shower earlier. I'm still dizzy, I'm going to sleep. Tomorrow we have to get up early, we have to ..”
“Yang...”.
Iis looked at Juan with a sad look, “Mandi there.”
Juan also complied with Iis' wishes, cold water would not be a problem. He'll shower as clean and fragrant as possible.

When Juan came out of the bathroom only wrapped in a towel, Juan saw Iis who was playing the shadows using a flashlight and moving his hands, while the room was completely dark.
(It's a shadow game)
“What are you doing?” juan asked as he approached Iis.
“Main shadow, Mas ever play shadow?” ask Iis.
“Neever, my babysitter used to be a hobby to read books hansel and gretel stories,” replied Juan plain. (Hansel and Gretel fantasy story from Germany about 2 children who get lost into the forest and into a house made of cake, and the owner of the house is an evil witch)
“Definitely the English version,” guess Iis while opening the blanket beside him, asking Juan to stretch himself beside Iis.
“Nein, Deutsch,” replied Juan honestly while entering the blanket and throwing his towel off the spot.
(No, Germany)
“Broasted,” joked Iis with a small smile.
“Reality A,” Juan said.
Iis directly infiltrated into Juan's embrace, the cold temperature of Juan's body really makes the body Iis attached to Juan's body feel cool.
“This is how it plays?” juan asked as he turned the flashlight back on and then shone it over the ceiling.
Iis shaped his hand in such a way that it formed an eagle. “This is the name of the eagle, he again flew for food, wush..”.
“Continue eating another rabbit carrot,” Iis change the shape of his hand to form a rabbit.
“Terus..” said Juan while kissing the hair shoots Iis.
Iis was silent and biting her lower lip held back her cries. “Keep, I don't know anymore, Dad was just a story up there, Dad was just a story until there was a rabbit. I don't know the rabbit how I don't know, Mas,” isak Iis while wiping his tears that fell on his cheek.
Juan immediately turned off the flashlight and then diverged the flashlight on the nearest nightstand.
“Yang...”.
“Mas, Iis love Daddy, Iis think now after the problem is over. Iis can be as devoted as Abah. Iis can boil all the time that has been Iis and Father in vain first,” Isak Iis again while embracing Juan's body.
Iis was crying so hard, it seemed like today Iis had been crying for hours, but somehow her tears seemed to be inexhaustible. Every Iis remembered her father at once her tears came out quickly, like there was no pause.
“I crybaby yah?” Iis asked while wiping her tears.
“No, you toughen up Yang, cry aja. Crying out loud, I'm not going anywhere here. I'll cry you, I'll rub your back, I'll make you. Whoa, no papa. Because...”
“What?” Iis asked as she looked at Juan and rubbed her husband's cheek.
Juan pointed at Iis chest then said, “I know, here it hurts ‘kan, so cry aja That's okay.”
At once Iis bit her lower lip as she wiped away her tears, her hands moved straight from Juan's chest towards her lips, holding her voice from coming out and screaming in despair and regret. Yes, I'm sorry I couldn't enjoy my time with Dad. Makes a lot of great memories.
Iis also felt desperate because there were only a few good memories she had with her father. Really a little, ah. If God gave him more opportunities, maybe Iis could make more good memories. Iis sorry.
Juan was silent while stroking Iis's hair slowly, Juan only listened to the sound of sobs Iis, occasionally Iis called his father.
“Mas..”.
“Iya,” replied Juan.
“I just have a few good memories with Dad and I m sorry Mas, I should have a lot of good memories with Dad. I'm nyesel..”.
Juan was aware of it, if Juan had a father like Father Iis maybe also only had a few sweet memories or even no sweet memories at all.
“If I knew your father's age only until yesterday, maybe I'd force Dad to stay in Jakarta let me take care of Dad.” isak Iis again.
“Mas... You will continue to exist beside me ‘kan?” tanya Iis desperate. I know that question is a stupid question. Almost everyone in this world can never be sure until when they breathe or live. But, Iis really needs Juan's answer, even though it's cliche but Iis just wants to know.
“I don't know, Yang. Age no one knows,” replied Juan honestly.
“Mas...”.
“But, for now,” Juan said as he lifted Iis' chin and aligned his gaze.
“What?” ask Iis.
Juan immediately hugged Iis tightly, so tight it seemed like Juan wanted to melt their bodies together into one.
“Let me hold you, Yang. I promise as long as you permit me to hug you, I will make sure everything is fine and I will make you always feel loved, Yang.”
“....”
“So, let me hold you in my hand and in my mind forever,” Juan said as he kissed the tiny lips of Iis, embracing the sweetness of Iis's lips that really had teased her.
Iis smiled at the kiss with Juan. Her husband's words always calm her down. After some time Juan unraveled his kiss, then rubbed the lower lip Iis.
“Iya Mas, Just hold me as tight as possible. Love you Mas,” said Iis while rubbing Juan's hair.
(Yes Mas, hug me as tightly as possible, I love you, Mas)
“Love you more, The.”
(I love you more, Yang)
