Come A Closer Love's
100
By morning, Marwah woke up from her sleep. Slowly he tried to be aware of his sleepiness by looking around the room he knew Erwin's main room.
Slowly Marwah got up from her sleep sitting on the bed and looked at her empty side. For a long time he was silent looking at the side of his empty bed.
Thoughts fluttered, until he finally got off the bed weakly. He died in the room hoping that Erwin might still be outside.
Slowly he came out of the room with a heart of anxious hope. He walked slowly towards the TV room with a quiet look around. Then he let go of his heavy breathing as his eyes saw an envelope on the front desk of their Sofa of memories.
Seeing the envelope Marwah walked quickly to sit down immediately and grabbed the envelope in a hurry. He looked doubtfully at the brown envelope, but with a long sigh he opened the envelope with alarm.
He opened the envelope by removing the contents confused to see some paper that he just put on the table and there was a small envelope inside.
He looked with a flat face at the small purple envelope. His fingers began to open the envelope by pulling a piece of paper that folded neatly and opened it while reading on the writing that looks neat.
" you gave me a wonderful love, which is why I say thank you" Mummy's sister Marwah.
Tap..tap.., unknowingly the tears of Marwah fell just like that. And so he closed both his eyes.
" why?? why say goodbye??" sobbed Marwah who looked at the letter.
" why thank you??, but Marwah did nothing for you mas," said Marwah with a swagger.
And finally he cried himself in the room with a heart of sorrow.

Almost 2 weeks after to goan Erwin who brought all the happiness of Marwah. Now Marwah tries to rearrange her days to get used to it without Erwin's shadow.
His days are busy with making premium bread and cakes ordered by customers. He tried to preoccupy himself with complicated cake recipes. Joking and entertaining yourself by chatting with store employees as well as customers, as if he wants to eliminate loneliness.
But it did not last long, because every night Marwah will return pensive until in the end he could not sleep at night which resulted in insomnia.
Until the unexpected happened that afternoon, all employees were shocked by Marwah who fell unconscious in his upper house.
Listening to that, Safa fell into a panic and called Mama Wulan and Papa Evan who had returned to bandung.
And what surprised Safa was the diagnosis of doctors who treated Marwah who was dehydrated and malnourished until he looked thinner.
" what dr. Is Safa having a problem????, "asked Sarah's doctor to Safa.
" hmm, she is experiencing sadness and loss," Safa replied by looking at her twin face that looked thin and pale.
dr. Sarah nodded in understanding.
" friend your sister doctor, it's dangerous to be left alone" advises dr. Sarah
" well doctor thank you," Safa replied as she sat by Marwah's bedside and stroked her twin face.
Lama Safa looked anxiously at Marwah's face.
" you are really strong," said Safa with a sad look at her twin's face.

In the evening, there was a rapid step towards the room Marwah was located. And
Braaak.., heard the door leaf was opened violently by papa Evan who looked panicked.
So Marwah and Safa were shocked, looking at the incoming Papa Evan with a panicked face.
" you?? what are you??, what is sick?," asked papa Evan in tears with his hands holding the face and shoulders of his daughter who looked shocked.
" pah??.papa??" exclaimed Marwah resuscitating the panicked Papa Evan.
" WHAT??" said papa Evan tight to make Marwah and kak Safa gasp.
Marwah looked doubtfully at Papa Evan's face. And he slightly glanced at the anxious Mama Wulan.
" Marwah.., Marwah is fine, kok pah," said hesitantly.
For a moment the room was silent.
And there was a long breath of papa Evan with weight.
" thank God," said father Evan slowly and then he realized holding his daughter's shoulder firmly.
" ah, I'm sorry papa," he said slowly backtracking.
But Marwah's hand held.
" i'm sorry pah, Marwah makes papa and mama anxious," he said grieving.
Hearing that, with his instincts papa Evan hugged affectionately at his grieving daughter.
Sis Safa and Mama Wulan were also moved to see the two.
After almost 3 hours of company, Safa and Mama Wulan finally came home. Because it's been too late and Mecca has been left with the baby sister for too long.
So that papa Evan chose to stay and accompany his daughter who looks better after spending 1 bottle of infusion.
Marwah who fell asleep in the patient's bad looked at the face of his father who was seen sitting relaxed on the sofa seriously reading a biography book.
Somehow seeing that, Marwah slowly got down from the patient's bed and walked towards the sofa and sat down beside papa Evan who looked a little surprised.
" why come here?? let's sleep there?" said papa Evan by closing his reading book.
" no ah, Marwah wants to sit here as papa," he said with a little down and suddenly hugged his papa body with spoiled, spoiled, so that papa Evan smiled a little to see the behavior of his daughter who still did not change with his effect.
" are you?? already big, huh??" chirped papa Evan by patting Marwah's shoulder and then re-read the biography.
Marwah only smiled a little but he still hugged papa Evan tightly.
" what did you read???" asked Marwah by looking at the book.
" hmm this, biography of a great man," replied papa Evan casually then returned seriously to reading.
" oh" he answered
Then the mood of silence returned. With Marwah eating pus on the book then he swallowed his saliva heavily.
" par??,"
" hmm" muttered papa Evan, still focusing on his reading.
And Marwah smiled in a knot, so he remembered that Erwin would also answer by muttering. But he also tried to breathe.
" pah??" he called slowly.
" Marwah can you ask for something, right??,"
" why what??? are you big??" replied Papa Evan casually.
Marwah smiled back. But suddenly he looks sad.
" hmm.., Marwah.., Marwah wants to go, "he said hesitantly in a slightly raucous voice.
Papa Evan was surprised.
" what??" said papa Evan puzzled.
" away? whither? vacation??" asked Papa Evan
Marwah was silent for a moment.
" no," replied Marwah slightly shaking.
" Marwah wants to go to Singapore and live there,"
Papa Evan was shocked, and he felt that his daughter was about to cry.
" what do you mean?," asked papa Evan who tried to look at Marwah's face who was bowed away.
" I'm sorry pah, sorry.., " said Marwah trembling
" Marwah has tried to forget but, it feels impossible..,"
The sobbing of Marwah sounded bitter in the heart of Papa Evan.
" what should Marwah do pah?? if you close your eyes, Erwin's face continues to look real to Marwah," he said pilu.
Papa Evan hugged his daughter's body sadly.
" how is pah??" said Marwah in tears.
" how does Marwah walk the days of Marwah pah??" marwah's crying broke out in my arms to father Evan.
Papa Evan was silent a thousand words, he only heard his daughter's heartbreaking cries.
"my dear daughter, Marwah." muttered the inner father Evan.
And that night became heartwarming, father Evan also saw the reality of his daughter's miserable love.

Two weeks passed, Marwah who had recovered was seen tidying up his closet. But his hand stopped when he saw some clothes stellan that Erwin bought some time ago.
He slightly smiled reminiscing about Erwin's angry face at the disdainful SPG himself. He also returned a small smile when remembering the words of Erwin who was angry at the SPG.
" wrap all my wife's clothes!!!" said Erwin
But immediately the smile disappeared with his rigid face he took out the clothes and he put it in a large box.
After finishing cleaning his closet, he turned to look at the shoe rack. And again he was glued for a long time to look at the two shoes given by Erwin, he also recalled the events of that time even Erwin's thrilling speech also came back to be imagined.
" you know what?? you have to wear good things, to be able to walk to a place that makes you happy" Erwin smiled at Marwah.
Marwah grabbed a beautiful pair of shoes and looked sadly at them. Then slowly he hugged her with a sad face.
" i'll take you, so you can take me to a place that makes me happy" he said sadly.

In the afternoon he had a guest, Dinda came with a surprise.
" Dinda?,"
" you are really hard to contact!!," said Dinda annoyed.
" if it wasn't for Safa's sister who told you, maybe I couldn't see you again,"
Marwah realized, that he had slightly forgotten his cellphone.
" ah, sorry yes..," said Marwah knot.
Seeing Marwah's sad face made her feel guilty.
" come here, I buy warm chocolate and dessert instead" said Marwah trying to calm down.
" thank you" said Dinda who then walked to the mini cafe dr. Desserts.
After sitting down and before long a waiter came with a hot cup of chocolate and tiramisu cake in front of Dinda.
Dinda just looked at the face of Marwah that looks a little puffy, he remembered the story of Johan, that the Director of Aritama had now left Indonesia.
" Marwah??,"
" are you okay?" asked Dinda looking worriedly at Marwah.
With doubt Marwah tried to smile a little.
" i'm fine, don't worry" said Marwah slowly.
Dinda smiled knot.
" i'm sorry, it looks like I just went home" said Dinda who woke up by pulling something from her stool.
Marwah surprised.
" why go home?" said Marwah holding back so that it fell something from Dinda's hand.
So Marwah was shocked. So he reflexively wakes up and helps Dinda to reach a box that looks like a mini suitcase.
" no papa Marwah" said Dinda with a little down and take the mini suitcase. Slowly he put the mini suitcase on the table and looked confused Marwah.
" this what??" ask Marwah curiously.
Hearing Marwah's question, Dinda felt a little guilty.
" i'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it here, it's your album and the Director, "sadly Dinda said.
Slowly he opened the mini suitcase that was elegantly designed. He took the album that had his name written and Erwin with the title "Propose ". Marwah took the album and sat back in her seat. His fingers began to open the album sheet with a trembling heart.
And back one by one the moment was printed beautifully on the photo sheet like a Cinderella story.
Dinda saw the sad face of Marwah staring at the photo sheet.
" That time the Director came to me, and planned this out abruptly" recalls Dinda.
Marwah's smiling face looked at the photo sheet.
Jemari Marwah rubbed a picture of Erwin with a sad smile and stopped at a sentence below the photo.
" the woman who gives me the love I want is you, the woman I always miss is you. Not because you need me, but. because of my love for you, so I need you" Erwin for Marwah.
Haru Marwah's face was seen there and he closed the album sheet with a happy smile on Dinda.
" Thank you for realizing Erwin's wish" said Marwah shaking at Dinda with tears falling.
Dinda was transfixed, and immediately embraced Marwah's body.
And unconsciously Dinda also joined in crying with Marwah who tried to win her.

In the afternoon, for the first time Marwah returned at the Sunrise hotel, after the departure of Erwin. The hotel has now become popular thanks to the celebrities who are still promoting Sunrise hotel.
He walked slowly to the main door of the hotel which was greeted kindly by the hotel maid who greeted.
" evening mbak Marwah, long time no look,"
" afternoon, ah yaa.., happy work," replied Marwah as she walked into the hotel and not far away her steps were stopped in the middle of the hotel room which began to turn on the room lights.
There were some hotel maids nyapa Marwah with happy faces and approached so they engaged in small talk. But soon the two hotel servants returned to duty by leaving Marwah who walked to the hotel receptionist.
Again, he was welcomed by the hotel staff.
" afternoon of Marwah, how are you?? we all miss Marwah" said a receptionist.
Marwah just smiled knot.
" i miss you too, how was the hotel???" asked Marwah.
" it's been amazing, the guests are satisfied and they've even been VIP members of the hotel" explained the receptionist's spirit.
" waha, thank God, it's good to feel," said Marwah slowly.
But suddenly a receptionist friend approached to surprise the two.
" Mr Marwah, why did you come here?? we are sad that we are not in the hotel anymore" he said in a sad tone.
Marwah could only smile knots.
" oia mbak, there's something to mbak," he said by elbowing his friend.
" what?" asked Marwah
" for a moment, let's go with me daunted," he said, pulling his friend to come with him.
Marwah just laughed a little at the behavior of the two.
A few moments later the two receptionists left. Suddenly the voice of the phone rang on the receptacle table. Marwah who heard was a little confused, he looked at two other receptionist employees who were receiving guests.
So with weight he also lifted the phone.
" hello, Sunrise Hotel, how can I help you?" said Marwah politely.
But not far from he stood, seen a pair of lovers walking around jokingly, then heard a small debate there.
So that the woman looks upset and reflexes her hands pierced the waist of the man. And the man reacted.
" aah.., I'm sick," said the man spoiled the woman in front of him by passing through Marwah who was fixated on seeing the two.
Marwah seemed to remember each pinch on Erwin's waist. So Marwah hung up the phone without him realizing his tears fell instantly.
Before long the two receptionists returned by calling Marwah who was still glued.
" mr Marwah???,"
" mbak Marwah?" called the receptionist with a slight nod to Marwah's daydream.
And both were shocked when they saw tears on Marwah's face.
" mbak Marwah is crying?, why?? did something happen??" said the receptionist friend glued and tried to take a phone from Marwah's hand.
Marwah regained her senses, and immediately wiped her tears awkwardly.
" ah, sorry, I went inside first huha," he said leaving the two receptionists who realized they had forgotten to give a letter addressed to Marwah.
After leaving the receptionist, Marwah entered the hotel manager's room. He entered with a slight knock and was immediately greeted by his co-workers there.
Marwah's smile again developed, chatter and stories about Sunrise hotel quite entertaining Marwah. And he was satisfied, his work produced results until finally he said goodbye to his colleagues.
As he walked out of the room, he thought for a moment. But in the end he could not lie to his heart, so his footsteps walked to the hotel rooftop, Erwin's favorite place.
And when he was in the hotel rooftop, Marwah was greeted with a cool night breeze. He stepped slowly to be in the middle of the place. For a moment he enjoyed the night view of the beautiful capital city with night lights.
His breath was blown as if he was throwing his bow. He is a little distant considering the moment with Erwin in the hotel rooftop.
From the kiss in the morning to the statement of Erwin's love that makes him not dwell with Erwin's speech that is still ringing clearly in his eyes.
"i'm in love with you, be mine, Marwah" said Erwin.
And Marwah smiled wryly in memory of Erwin's words.
" i'm sorry" said Marwah slowly, trying to hold back her tears.
" for my heart that suddenly misses" he said.
" because getting used to it without you takes time" he murmured.
With a breath of night air, Marwah closed her eyes imagining Erwin. And slowly his eyes opened and he saw the figure of Erwin standing before him with a warm smile.
Marwah smiled looking at Erwin who had not changed.
" what's healthy???,"
" hmmm," murmured Erwin.
Marwah smiled wryly and she nodded slowly as if there were no words she could say.
" good-bye, Erwin Arimata, " said Marwah sternly looking at Erwin's face.
"goodbye, Marwah," said Erwin, slowly disappearing from before Marwah.

The next morning, Marwah who is now in the airport is escorted by Safa's brother, Wulan's mother and Evan's father. Alternately embrace farewell.
" keep your health" said Safa, heavily releasing her twin.
" hmmm" muttered Marwah as she kissed her nephew.
Then she hugged Mama Wulan.
" mama must miss you" said mama wulan with tears of farewell.
" Marwah too, will always miss mama, Marwah try to love the same news mama, love you mah, i love you so much," said Marwah by wiping the tears of Mama Wulan.
Then she hugged Papa Evan.
" par??,"
" pardon Marwah yes, thank you for everything," said Marwah heavy with crying.
" yes, take care of yourself, take a message from mom and dad, and send greetings to mom Eva and Zerin," said papa Evan by giving a kiss approved by his daughter.
And the final landing Marwah walked into the departure room.

4 Months passed...,
Bright morning light, seen a man standing with a beautiful view of the morning scenery that looks like the new sun illuminates the earth with beautiful colors.
Erwin stood up unconsciously the man stood beside himself with a warm smile growing.
" beautiful sun" said the man.
" well dad, beautiful sun, Erwin hasn't seen a pretty sun in a long time,"
A moment of silence between the two by enjoying the atmosphere of the morning.
" dad,"
" pardon Erwin," said Erwin look at the figure of his father who he missed.
His father proudly patted Erwin's shoulder.
" you've done your best, I'm proud of you" said the father with a happy face.
" can Erwin come with me???," Erwin hoped.
I looked with an expressionless face.
" Erwin is tired of dad" said Erwin with a slight bow.
I unexpectedly gave Erwin a hand. And Erwin is riveted.
" it may be time for you to come with me" said the father with a warm smile.
Erwin also without hesitation to reach his father's fingers. But suddenly his hand was pulled by a long-haired little girl.
" brother Mummy, EVIL!!," whined the little girl with a cry and pulled Erwin's hand.
Erwin.
" SISTER Mummy EVIL!!, brother Mummy did not keep the promise of Marwah??, "said the little girl sobbing, so that Erwin went down to bend his knees in front of the little girl.
" sister Mummy has promised to celebrate Marwah's birthday, but why didn't Mummy come???" he said with a great cry.
Erwin was stunned and there was a pain in his heart seeing the little girl crying so badly. So he reflexively hugged fondly at the little girl.
" i'm sorry, I'm sorry Mummy's sister, Marwah," Erwin said, caressing the little girl's head with a hard thought on how to calm the little girl down.
" my sister is wrong, sorry Mummy who did not keep her promise," he said regretfully.
Then he broke his embrace to the little girl by looking at her father's smiling happy face behind the little girl.
" come back, keep your promise to the little girl" said the father with a warm smile.
Erwin woke up with a surprised face hearing his father's words.
" dad !!,"
" dad's proud of you, and happy mom, she's worried about you" he said.
" sister Mummy promise??" said the little girl by giving her little finger to Erwin who was confused between his father or this long-haired little girl.
But his father gave a nod to Erwin not to hesitate.
And with back down on his knees before the little girl, Erwin also gave his little finger to Marwah who immediately smiled.
" Sister Mummy promised," he said slowly.
" Marwah" said Erwin, slowly opening his eyes.
" Marwah," he repeated in a whisper with empty eyes staring at the white ceiling.
Instantly the room was boisterous with panicked voices of two people speaking a foreign language.
