BECAUSE OF YOU, MY DESTINY.

Innalillahi wainnailaihi

"When have you been hiding your illness?" tanya Laras asked for an answer from her son.

Inevitably Vino must finally be honest with his condition. "Since I was transferred here" replied Vino.

The deg!...

"That long! Then why won't you tell us? We're your parents, you should be honest with us!" Baras already emotion grunts to the honesty of Vino.

"I don't want to be pitied, Mah. I don't want you to bother because I'm sick. That's why I'd rather hide my illness than tell you."

"At least with you telling us, we can find a doctor for your recovery" said Bambang.

"Just find me a doctor, my illness is severe and it will be difficult to recover." Vino held Riana's hand squeezing it firmly. He felt a headache again, but this time the pain was so overwhelming.

Riana who sat beside Vino was surprised, "You why? A does your head hurt again?" Riana seemed to know if Vino felt pain, Vino still tried to avoid shaking his head.

"Vino, you're okay, right?" How the hell is this barrel? already knew Vino felt pain still asking is okay.

Because it was no longer strong, Vino squeezed his hair to endure the pain. "Aaaaaa hurts, Mah. Vino's head hurts a lot." Vino whimpered in pain, he also held his head firmly.

"A, not in the hairpins!" Riana panic. The girl tried to remove Vino's hand from his head.

"Bah, call the doctor!" sergeant Laras.

When Bambang wanted to get out, his steps were prevented by Vino. "Don't call the Doctor, Pah! I don't feel pain anymore." Vino tried hard in front of them.

"No, Papah will call the doctor to check you back!" Bambang.

"Don't! I just want to sleep." stop Vino from coming back. "I want to sleep in your arms, my wife." Vino looked at Riana full of plea while enduring the pain that continued to whack.

Riana nodded when she saw Vino's gaze. She also felt the pain that her husband felt, no matter how she was a wife, she would obey her husband's wishes.

"Bah, Mah," Vino stared at his parents to get them both out leaving Vino and his wife.

As if knowing what the child wanted, Laras and Bambang stepped out. Riana climbed to the top of the cage at Vino's request. Vino laid his body on Riana's lap while looking at his wife's face from below. As usual, Riana would gently stroke Vino's hair.

"You're beautiful, you're young, your journey in is long. If I'm gone, I want you to remarry someone you love!"

"A, what are you talking about? We will live this household together. You said yourself that we would be together until death do us part."

Vino smiled, he had indeed spoken like that. But he feels his end has come, and he wants his wife to be with someone Riana loves.

"Thank you for being my wife, even if we were partners for just a moment, I was so happy. You still do your job as my wife even though I know you still don't love me." Vino held one of Riana's hands and held the hand against her chest.

"Hey, why are you crying? I didn't fuck you!" Vino rubbed Riana's cheek. "Look at me, Riana!" Riana slowly lowered her head and looked into Vino's eyes. "You're not wrong, there's nothing wrong with us, it's a game of fate. We don't know what's going to happen in the future." Vino tried to give understanding to his wife so as not to continue to feel guilty. His head hurt again, very sick.

"Ri, may I sleep holding you?" ask Vino. Riana nodded. "The wife is submissive" said Vino chuckling.

Then both lay their bodies in a narrow hospital bed only for patients. Vino wrapped his hands around his wife's waist, and he asked Riana to keep wiping her head.

Riana complied with Vino's request while chanting the holy verses of the Qur'an as Vino used to want when sleeping on Riana's lap.

"I love you, Riana. I'll take my love to death." said Lirih Vino in Riana's arms. The young man continued to tightly hug Riana's waist, slipping his face across the wife's chest. He tried to be strong when the pain in the head was getting stronger.

"Riana, marry the one you love! Only he will make you happy and take care of you after I'm gone, I beg you!" Vino continued to clutch at Riana's waist holding back her pain.

Riana's tears were seeping incessantly. "A, I'll let you leave me. Don't worry about me! I will definitely be with someone I love." - Riana in between Vino's arms getting stronger.

After hearing Riana's words, Vino's embrace loosened not as hard as it had been. "A," Riana tried to wake Vino up. "Are you sleeping?" The girl was silent for a few minutes letting Vino. Riana turned her face away to look at Vino's face. Visible Vino closed his eyes, his face looked bright with a smile etched on thin lips that never sniffed.

Riana could not see Vino closed, she hugged her husband's body again. His tears kept coming out soaking the pillow he was sleeping on.

Laras, Bambang and Riana's parents saw both of them from the glass. Riana's parents had just arrived after Bambang reported that they were in the hospital. Yanto and Ani were shocked to hear what had happened to their son-in-law.

"May Vino be healed" said Yanto wishing him all the best.

Then they confirmed the words of Yanto.

"Sir, why is Teteh's shoulder shaken? She's like crying in silence, sir?" Ani watched her daughter's movements. Although Riana turned her back to the glass, Ani could see and feel if her daughter was not okay.

"Maybe he's just laughing, Ani." Sergei Bambang.

"It's not right, I know my daughter." Ani has a strong feeling if something happens inside. He decided to enter without caring about the others.

"Here, don't bother them! Vino himself wanted Riana to hug him." The barrel prevents Ani from interfering with Vino's activities.

Ani broke through, even the others entered. "Teh," called Ani when she was inside and just hugged Riana.

Riana who was hugging Vinopun turned her head when her mother hugged, her eyes were swollen from crying. "Well, A Vino!" his lips trembled helplessly to hold back the cry.

The old men looked at Vino's face, Yanto approached his son-in-law and checked Vino's pulse and breath through his nose. "Innalillahi wainnailaihi rojiun."

"No, that's impossible!" yelling Laras, then approaching Vino. The mother of two children also examined it and apparently Vino was dead.

Bambang, bowed lethargic to see his youngest son is gone. Baras cried a hiccup while hugging Vino from the right. While Riana hugged her husband's body from the left.
