The doctor paused for a moment, then raised his head to look at Aurel.
"This, from the results of the report, states that you have end-stage brain cancer, this is very difficult to cure, you could say the cure is still not found, and if it can be cured, if it can be cured, it was a miracle." the doctor paused for a moment.
the doctor's words were like lightning striking Aurel's heart, all his bad premonitions were revealed that very second.
"It seems that this was caused by trauma to the brain tissue, because it was too late to realize it, it was finally very severe until the end stage," the doctor was silent again looking at Aurel, who seemed to be in great shock, and was very shocked, but he still held it.
"Has Aurel's head been hit hard before?" the doctor looked at Aurel's parents.
"Yes. Ever, but it's been a long time, and even that blood clot on his head has been removed, why is it now a cancer?" his father denied the doctor's words.
"It could be because the blood clot is not lifted out, so it grows into cancer cells, and is growing until now, and it can shorten the life of the sufferer," explained the doctor.
"Stop. Please don't joke Doc, I don't like to hear jokes like this, it's really not funny." Aurel shook his head with a smile of disbelief, between sadness, fear, and not accepting what he heard from the doctor.
"Although that's the case, we won't stay silent either, we'll do the "
"Stop ... I said stop, stop." Aurel immediately cut the word the doctor said, not wanting to believe anything the doctor said.
"Doctor, tell me this is a lie! this isn't really serious, is it?" aurel asked in disbelief.
"I'm sorry, but this is the reality" the doctor shook his head slowly, quite understanding what Aurel was feeling.
"No, it's impossible, I'm healthy, I'm not sick, who would dare say that I'm sick huh?" aurel snapped, he was so frustrated with what happened to him, that he was unable to control his emotions.
"I hope you can be stoic, and stay strong" the doctor said.
"No. Exit ... I said get out right now, I don't want to hear anything from you. Come out ... " cried Aurel with anger.
After the departure of the doctor, Aurel cried hysterically, he covered both ears unable to accept reality.
His mother immediately approached Aurel and hugged him so tightly.
"Mahs. The doctor lied, right? Tell Aurel that this is just a dream, now Aurel is asleep right? After Aurel wakes up, everything will go back to the way it was, right?" Aurel looked up at his mother, forcing himself to smile, even though his smile contained so many wounds.
Her mother could not bear to hear her daughter's words, she could not answer even a word, she could only cry without making a sound.
"Mah ... Aurel replied, don't just be quiet like this, please answer Aurel's question." Aurel cried while shaking her mother's body so that her mother would talk, but her mother kept her mouth shut not wanting to say anything.
"Mahs ... Papa knew that the Doctor had only lied to Aurel, right? Aurel-Aurel is healthy, Aurel does not feel any pain," Aurel tries to deny the reality, he is unable to accept the bitter destiny that befalls him.
Seeing his father who looked down and just kept quiet, Aurel then cried bitterly, sick ... Very sick, hearing that he had to live befriended by brain cancer, who did not know whether it could be cured or instead accompanied him to death to pick him up.
When Aurel got tired, he decided to go to sleep, so that he would not have to worry about his illness and what his life in the future would be like, because the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more pain he felt.
***
Now that Jovi is in the apartment, he grabs his cell phone, and the name of Aurel has contacted him several times.
Jovi really forgot to bring a cell phone with him when he left for university, plus his activities at the university were so crowded, that he did not have time to go back home to take his cellphone.
I don't know how many times Jovi contacted Aurel, but he didn't get an answer from there.
He thought, maybe Aurel had fallen asleep, because the day was also late, Jovi stopped to contact Aurel, and prepared to take a bath, because his body had felt sticky because of his solid activities all day.
***
Aurel wakes up in the middle of the night, and she immediately remembers Jovi.
"Yes God ... What am I supposed to do? I don't want to be a burden to her, but I also love her very much, my age may not be long, I'm not so sure, whether I can recover or not, I will definitely only make him difficult," Aurel muttered to himself as his parents and younger brother were asleep.
"No, I must not tell him, he must also live happily, I cannot allow him to remain with me, whereas the present me is not the healthy Aurel just yet, I cannot allow him to remain with me, I'm now sick, I can't let the rest of his life just take care of me all the time" Aurel shook his head slowly, recalling Jovi who was far away in London there.
"Maybe I have to get away from her life, I can't be selfish, she deserves her happiness with a healthy woman anyway, so that someone will take care of her, if she's with me, if she's with me, I'm afraid all the time I can only take care of me, and no one takes care of her" Aurel's glassy eyes, considering her relationship with Jovi should end here.
"Jovi ... I love you, but circumstances force me to choose, between staying with you and you will be unhappy, or letting go of you and letting yourself be happy with another woman" Aurel said, staring straight ahead.
Not realizing that a tear slid freely on both cheeks, his heart was so heavy that he had to part with the person he loved so much.

The next day, Aurel woke up, his body was very weak, his face was so pale, his lips looked broken from being so dry.
"Darling, are you awake? Breakfast first yuk," said Bu Dina who immediately approached Aurel.
Aurel looked at his mother with very dim eyes, it was clear that he was completely helpless.
His mother fed Aurel a little porridge, but what Aurel felt was so bland when he touched his tongue, every food that entered his mouth, only the taste of bargaining that he felt, it was really difficult for him.
"Mah ..." said Aurel.
"Yes dear." His mother immediately threw the bowl of porridge out of his hand.
"I want to do treatment abroad, I want to move from here, I don't want to stay here anymore." Aurel's decision has been very steady to leave Jovi.
"Mom also agrees, you'll get good care there, you'll get well." Bu Dina tried to comfort Aurel, Aurel only smiled wryly, although he was not sure about it, at least it could calm his mind.
"Please don't tell Jovi about Aurel's condition!" Aurel.
"Why?" ask mother.
"No, I don't want to be a burden to her, let our relationship end here." Aurel shook his head slowly, his eyes back in glass.
"Whatever your decision, Mama will always support you," said Ms. Dina while stroking Aurel's shoulder.
Aurel can only smile bitterly given the fond memories with Jovi, and now he must release Jovi because fate did not choose him to have Jovi completely.
Aurel continued his breakfast and then went back to rest.
