Shortly after Jihan entered, the middle-aged woman who was lying weakly on the bed of the patient slowly opened her eyes. Jihan suddenly smiled with great relief, Her mother was still able to endure in the midst of pain that was certainly very torturous.
Jihan then held her mother's hand in a sitting position next to the bed.
The goddess looked on her eldest daughter. Jihan has been working hard and struggling to support her family for the past 2 years. As a mother, the heart of the Goddess is certainly sliced. At least he never thought he wanted to take care of his children. But destiny says something else. The pain he was suffering from was also not his will.
Clear circles shot out from the corners of his eyes, causing panic in Jihan's heart. Her mother was silent and suddenly cried. Soon Jihan wiped away her mother's tears.
"Mama why cry.? Is anyone sick.?" Jihan looked worriedly.
The goddess shook her head weakly in response. Although he felt pain in his physique, but the pain was not comparable to the pain of seeing Jihan struggling alone.
At the age of 25 years, Jihan should have designed the future, began looking for a companion to be made husband to have his own family. But Jihan still survives in solitude, prioritizing her parents and sister over thinking about her own happiness.
What mother's heart is not hurt.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Jihan." Lirih Dewi. Her sickly condition made Dewi feel a burden to her daughter. Though Jihan did not feel that way, she was actually happy because she was still given the opportunity to take care of her parents. Jihan believes that every kindness and devotion to parents, will surely bear sweet fruit in the future.
Jihan shook her head hard. This was the last time my mom apologized to him.
"Mama don't talk like that, Mama's struggle to give birth and take care of me with Juna is much bigger than what I'm doing now. This is nothing Mah. Mama don't feel like a burden, Jihan Ridho and sincerely fight for Mama. For that, Jihan asked Mama, please hold on for us." Jihan said expectantly.
The Goddess' tears were flowing more and more. In her heart she prays do'a for the happiness of Jihan and Juna.
The sobbing sound of the Goddess teasing the sleeping Juna. The man then woke up and immediately approached Mama and her brother who were hugging while crying.
Juna joined in and hugged the two. The little family ended up crying together.
Had he been born into a rich family, perhaps Jihan and her family would not have faced this kind of hardship. They do not need to bother thinking about tuition, operating costs and paying for home rent.
After being satisfied to vent sadness and tightness in the chest that they had been alone, the three looked much better. Their burden is slightly reduced.
"Sir, can you take care of Mama again not tonight.? Brother's got a little business, looking for a loan for Mama's operation." Lirih Jihan so that her voice is not heard by the Goddess.
"Indeed how much will the operation cost until Jihan Kak has to seek a loan.?"
Jihan was silent, she was not aware of the release of talking about borrowing money. Juna will definitely think that his sister has to borrow money for their Mama's operation.
"Loan just in case the Deck, afraid of saving Brother less. Sister's assessment is still 2 weeks away." Jihan said after turning her brain to find a reasonable answer without having to make Juna worry about the cost of surgery.
Juna nodded in understanding.
"So don't go, I'll take care of you."
Jihan smiled faintly and then moved away from the sofa. He hurriedly returned home to prepare, Shaka would pick him up in 2 hours.
Jihan needs careful preparation to meet Shaka's parents so as not to make Shaka ashamed because he has brought a poor girl like her to be a wife even if only temporarily.
...*******...
Shaka had just arrived home and was immediately asked a lot of questions by his mother. Shaka's handsome face suddenly sour. Every day is always charged to find a future wife.
"Later tonight I take him home, I'll go upstairs first." Shaka replied when asked to find a future wife who has not.
Sonia should be happy because her desire to see Shaka get married is about to materialize, but she gets curious about what kind of woman she will introduce to him.
"Wait for Shaka, whose girl do you want to meet with Mama.? Do Mom and Dad know his parents.?" Sonia asked as she followed her son up the stairs.
"Mama will know too. I'm gonna take a shower and get ready first." Replied Shaka who hurriedly went to his room so as not to be interrogated by the mother.
Sonia sighed in disappointment, now she became curious about the figure of the woman who would be made a wife by her son. As a mother, Sonia's heart was heartbroken. Afraid that girl is not a good woman.
Though Sonia herself forced Shaka to get married, Shaka's turn to get a wife, Sonia was worried.
But even so, Sonia understood very well the character of her son. Shaka would not be rash in making a choice. So it does not cause excessive worry. Sonia believes her son can get a good woman.

Jihan sat in front of the dresser. The nervousness can't be covered up. Her face was slightly pale even though her lips had been polished with cheap red lipstick that matched her white skin.
Jihan was done grooming, but was still silent there with a mind floating about.
Tonight she wears her best midi dress. Although without arms, but still polite enough to be used to meet his future father-in-law.
The calf-long dress seemed to fit in Jihan's tall and slim body.
Jihan's straight hair was allowed to unravel. It was pitch-black, in stark contrast to the white of Jihan.
Vibrate the cell phone disperse the daydream of Jihan. The woman glanced at her flaming phone on the dresser.
There's an incoming call from an unknown number. Jihan could guess who the owner of the number was, so hurriedly picked it up.
"I'm in front of the alley, the car can't get in. Come here quick." The voice with the tone of the command sounded cold. Jihan has not been able to answer, but her phone connection has been disconnected.
The beautiful woman immediately smashed her lips. Anxious himself with Shaka's attitude.
Want to invite him to meet prospective in-laws but only pick up until the alley.
Jihan stepped quickly towards the highway at the end of the alley. Lucky the distance of the house to the alley was not too far. Jihan then approached a black luxury car parked on the side of the road.
Once stopped next to the car, the door was opened from the inside.
Jihan could see Shaka's flat face which was always unpleasant to look at.
"Let's go in.!" Said indifferent.
"Yes sir." Reply to Jihan while getting in the car.
Shaka Clucked slowly.
"Next don't call Sir in front of my parents.!" Rigorously. Jihan nodded clumsily while painstakingly swallowing her saliva.
If you can't call sir, then what should you call.? Inner Jihan was confused.
