"It's okay to be scared. Being scared means you're about to do something really, really brave." —— unknown

"Where is Jade?" I asked softly, Ari looks irky and I don't know why. He tilted his head to look at me and said that she wanted to stay at her room. And I feel a little sad because I really like her to come with us.

"Are you sad that she didn't come?" Ari asked and I said yes. Maybe she wants to be alone. Since she came here I know something was wrong, that even she's smiling I know she was in pain but I cannot ask, it's very personal and she needs to trust me first before she can open up, right?

Right.

Anyway, I really like her and I want her as my friend and I don't know why——no reason.

"Don't worry there will always be a 'next time'."Ari told me, before he help me to buckle my seatbelt. And I am wondering where we're going.

I asked him many times and he says that it's a surprise that it makes me more curious. Rosy doesn't have any idea as well and I can see on his eyes the excitement and curiousity.

"Hospital?" I asked them, all my brothers look at me because my voice was hoarse as I feel nervous.

Why we are here?

Does anyone of my family got hurt?

But my brothers are all here—-wait except Diony.

But Ari cut me off from my thoughts.

"Bambina don't worry, Diony is okay. Relax and you'll see." He said. He carried me as we enter the hospital and tried to relax.

I really don't like the hospital, it reminds me when I was small and the doctor injected me something using needles and It's so painful, but Mommy said it's for my health but I really don't like it and I hope we can get out of here as soon as possible.

And because I am tense, I burried my face on his neck and he calmed me down by drawing circles at my back and it helps a lot.

Soon, I heard door opening and as we enter the room Ari mumbled to look up. And slowly I do what he told and when I look around, my eyes immediately fell on someone that was lying on the white bed.

His eyes were close and I noticed that he looks exactly like Daddy—- but is that my Daddy?

"Daddy?" I asked in low voice, because of the impending cry that I am trying to fight right now.

But when he fluttered open his eyelids and his eyes that twin of mine, stare back at me, I couldn't take it anymore.

He's my Daddy!

"Daddy!" I called and Ari put me down so that I can run to him. My hands are both on my mouth because I am trembling. I don't want to cry so much because of my breathing problem.

But how can I stop myself not to cry?

It's been two years since the last time we saw each other and he promised that when he comes back we will never be apart again.

"Sei tu, My Luna?" Daddy asked in a voice where he couldn't believe that I am in front of him.

(Is that you, My Luna?)

"Sì. Sono io papà, la tua Luna." I replied in shaky voice. And I cannot take it anymore.

(Yes. It's me Daddy, your Luna.)

"Daddy—- I missed you so much. Where have you been? I keep on waiting for you but you never came back. What happened to you Daddy?" I asked him with so much tears that flowing down through my face. All my brothers are comforting me but I am good, I am more concern with him because he looks so sad, weak and thin.

Like he had been through a very hard life in this past few years.

"I am so sorry baby, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to be far away from you but something happened to me that was out of my control. And I am really missed you— so much that by thinking of you, lift up my spirit to stay alive." He said.

He's hurting so much that it's breaking my heart. My hands cupped his face and gave him a peck on his cheeks, forehead, and nose; the things that I always do to him to make him happy.

"Please promise me Daddy that you won't leave me again—Please?" I asked and his arms wrapped around me as he burried his face on my neck before he kiss my forehead.

"I will never my Luna. And is it t-true? Y-Your mommy, My D-Diana?" He cannot say it. And it's totally breaking our heart into tiny pieces. I can't say it too— so I just nod my head. And the next few seconds of my life was like a world without color, because looking at his sobbing self and trembling body, all I could wish for is to share the pain or even take it all. If only it is possible because after a few minutes, an alarming sound from the machine, erupted throughout the room. And when I looked at Daddy, he's holding his chest and I feels like it's happening again, the same scene with my mommy.

!" I cried out. Ari immediately carry me as the Doctor and nurses came in to help my Daddy.

"!" I called again his name. Is it my fault?

"I am sorry D-Daddy, I shouldn't make you sad. A-Ari p-please tell me that he's gonna be okay, P-Please." I asked Ari after my arms wrapped around his neck.

He strokes by back while saying that he's gonna be fine. When I looked around I saw Rosy with worried and sad face. He's crying like me and I could see the same pain that I am having right now. I asked Ari to hand me to Rosy because I want to comfort him.

"Rosy." I call his name and motioned my arms to take me. He took me from Ari and hugged me so tight like his life depended on me. I know how he it feels that's why I whisper to him that Daddy will be okay.

After few minutes the Doctor said that he's okay now.

"He just had a heart constriction because of pent-up emotions, so I advised all of you to avoid some topic that would make him overwhelm, for now." The doctor said before he and his nurse left.

When we look at father his eyes were close already and I think he's sleeping.

"He needs some rest Bambina. He's still weak but he's definitely will be fine, so don't worry." Ari said before we took a seat near Daddy's bed.

While staring at Daddy, all I think about is his calming voice and kisses everytime we're together. He always put smile on my lips and I can't believe that he's really here now, with me—- with us.

"Ari, Diony, Hady and Poly—- thank you for bringing him back." I told them and now I know now why they left the other day.

"It's not only us Bambina that you should thank off. It was Delilah who told me that she knew where he was." I heard Rosy's gasp and I know that he was so shocked too.

"Really? Then I should thank her personally. I knew it! I know she's a good person and I really want her to be my friend." I announced happily because that is what I am feeling right now.

I owe her a lot. We owe her.

She's my father's savior and I will do everything to return the favor that she did to us.

"We will thank her, all of us. She is our hero, right guys?" Ari asked my brothers who are smiling too with happiness. Rosy is smiling now and I know that all of us will be okay.

I lay my head at Rosy's shoulder while I hold Daddy's hand and give it a warm kiss.

"I love you so much Daddy. Sleep and be strong. I know that you'd suffered enough and as your daughter, I promise you that from now on you will never be alone and sad again. I will try my best to make you happy as you always do to me before. And don't worry—- Mommy will always be with you." I whispered and all my brothers didn't feel shy to shed some tears. But, I know that it's not tears of sadness—- it's tears of Joy.
