“How? Everything ready?” ask Papa who is standing next to his car and getting ready to go in. However, before that he tried to make sure that all the preparations were in order. Yes, today Papa and all his family members will have a picnic at Farhan's request before leaving the hospital. Papa wants to pay his promise to his middle child. He also wanted to change the time he never gave Farhan. Yes, call it now Papa has begun to want to make up for the past mistakes he had done for his middle child.
“Farhan where?” ask Papa again because he did not see the attention of the child. But no one has yet answered. Farhan first appeared from behind the door with a big smile. It was also successful in making Papa unable to not smile. He then asked all his family members to enter the car. While some workers he invited entered a special car that had been prepared.
Oktara's big family smiled. After years of never having a picnic. Now they can do it again. There are always good things that can be learned from every incident that befalls. If only there had been no disease lodged in Farhan's head. Maybe until this moment, the family still felt there was an invisible distance that stretched wide to make them feel far away despite being on the same roof.
The car that Papa drove drove left the area of the magnificent house, out of the towering gate and then moved forward to successfully split the streets of the capital. Of course it is undeniable that in the heart of the entire car it has been pounding so much happiness. When will they be like this again? When will another start a new closeness after a long distance? Moments like this have always been a dream. However, now God has been kind to them so that they can gather in the same space and share joy.
Farhan who was sitting on the seat beside the steering wheel stared one by one at his family members. There was a swish of warmth felt within his body along with such great gratitude. Among the pains he had been going through, now the Lord responded with his desire that became real. Reassemble as before
Never mind. Farhan had stopped such memories ever since Papa's apology came out so sincerely as a warm embrace clutched his body. What he did just now was not to remember the cause of hate, but because of the gratitude that Farhan now ceaselessly defies. His unbroken thanksgiving to his good Lord gives time to re-enjoy standing in the midst of a harmonious family.
“What's up?” tanya Papa broke the silence in the car when accidentally his sense of sight caught Farhan looking back— towards Mama, Reyhan, and Nadhira.
Farhan shook his head while making a thin smile. “Nothing,” the answer is short. Then, lean the body that is now slowly stable. He opened the skull that covered his head to show the head that had lost its crown. Then, he returned to smile even wider.

“Farhan, wake up, son. We have arrived.” Papa shook his sleeping middle child's arm slowly. Farhan should have enjoyed his first trip out of the hospital. However, the child actually chose to sleep during the trip. Papa had no intention of waking Farhan. Because, he thought Farhan still needed a break to restore his strength.
Farhan's body squirms. There was also a soft sigh from the lips that still looked pale. The pair of netra moved slowly until it opened perfectly. It is used to adjust the light entering the retina.
“We have arrived,” said Papa.
Farhan looked out the car window. And what greeted him was a stretch of white sand that was so beautiful. The blue sea was so vast and the sky was so bright. Smile expands. Picnic to the beach as you wish. He then improved his sitting position. “Pa, come down,” he said impatiently.
Papa nodded his head and immediately went down. He walked side by side with Farhan to catch up with other family members who first walked. “Farhan,” call Papa who successfully stopped his son's steps.
Farhan looked back. “Why, Pa?”
“If you feel bad. Directly say Papa, yes,” said Papa. He was worried that Farhan would suffer another deterioration. Although the doctor had already said that Farhan was cured.
Oktara's family then chose to sit on a stretch of white sand without feeling afraid of dirty. They enjoy their time so much. In particular, the man with the black face. His smile never dated. However, suddenly a drop of tears escaped from the corner of his net. He quickly wiped away the crystal so that no one would notice. It's just that he lost fast. Reyhan realized it first.
Reyhan got up from his seat and immediately hugged his first sister. “Already. Don't cry like that. You should be happy.”
All eyes were on the couple's sister.
“Iya Farhan is happy to be able to picnic like before,” replied Farhan in between his stuffing. He is not sad. It's just moved.
It wasn't only Reyhan who gave Farhan a hug. Mom and Dad hugged their middle child. Latisha was only poking her lips because she felt forgotten.
“Call just keep. Adek even stripped.”
Everyone stared at the little guy. Then, laugh.
Farhan pulled out his little sister's body and took her sitting on his lap. “Let Sister who hugged Adek, yes,” he said and was replied by a nod by Latisha. He kissed Latisha's head crest with affection.
Mom and Dad looked at each other and smiled. They embrace each other. Reyhan is back near his wife who is looking after the twins. Then, he also did not want to lose hugging his wife.
The sight of Oktara's family really made people envious. A family that looks very harmonious and grows with full affection. The scenery that defeated the beauty of the expanse of the ocean before them.
“Thank you for returning our family, Yes Allah,” Papa inwardly.
“Thank you for making my dream come true,” Farhan whispered in silence.
And many more thanks are spoken in each other's hearts.
with his family members. Re-feeling the warmth that had dimmed. Enjoying the love that had lost changed the hatred and anger that was so strong. Then, Papa's strong hand played without hesitation on his body. Rough remarks, the insensitive maki scolding sounds deafening. A sense of appreciation that never existed even though as strong as his efforts.
