It's still in Joeshua's apartment. The ringing of the cellphone that was heard many times in Alfiya's ear was ignored. Maybe because it is too disturbing his sense of hearing as well, then he immediately touched the off mode there. He was still lying on the side of the bed, his eyes staring at the ceiling of the room.
His feelings were still bad ever since he heard something that he thought was absurd earlier. Married to Elvan? When did he aspire to marry his sister-in-law? Hah, he let out a long breath. Why does everything have to be like this? It's really complicated.
Meanwhile Joe who had finished changing clothes in the bathroom immediately approached Alfiya.
"So the feeling I'm hearing hp you sound continues, your family is worried. Didn't you pick up the phone?" Ask the man while drying his hair.
Alfiya shook his head lazily. Lazy because he was reluctant to answer the incoming call from his family.
Seeing Alfiya who seemed to be unable to be asked, Joe also chose not to ask much more.
"It's a shame, you sleep in the room. I'll sleep on the couch, outside ." He then stepped closer after the girl nodded in agreement. Joe then kissed Alfiya softly before finally leaving the room.
"Good night." said Joe while stroking Alfiya's head. "I'm out ya."
"Good night too, Joe."
The man who had the status of his girlfriend also came out after just developing a smile again.

The next day, Alfiya still did not intend to go home. His cell phone kept him off, to avoid the family who contacted him.
Alfiya who was sitting with Joe in the campus garden was surprised by Rian who suddenly came to him. Her sister-in-law who still wears the uniform looks relieved when she sees it.
"Mister Fiya!" Shouts from a distance. "Bak really is here as it turns out. From last night people at nyariin' house, mbak."
Alfiya turned his face. It doesn't matter if people at home are looking for it. He does not want to go back home at this time. Make what? It will only make his heart hurt. And one more thing, regarding the intention of the mother who wanted to marry him to Elvan she did not want that. She was afraid that when she came home, she would ask him for it again.
Rian then pulled Alfiya's hand. "Sir let's go home, mother in the hospital."
The deg! Alfiya's heart suddenly thumped. Mom's in the hospital? Wh why? The girl then grumbled for a long time. I'm not going to the hospital because of last night.
"Mbak.." call Rian again.
Alfiya regained his senses with Joe's hand slowly squeezing his palm.
"Fi, you better go home now. Poor your mother. Yea?" Joe peeked at Alfiya's face. Next to his hand trying to tidy up Alfiya's hair child.
Alfiya was unmoved, he was still not sure to go home. But what if there's nothing about her mother?
"If you can know...." Alfiya looked at Rian closely. "Why can you go to the hospital?"
Hearing that, Rian then let out a long sigh. "Sir, actually that night, when Fiya ran away from home...." Rian gulped for a moment. "It's busy raging as it happens while calling the name of the deceased mbak Gita and suddenly the mother fainted...."
"Gamuk? Fainted?" Alfiya made sure.
"Yes, my mother was suddenly hysterical because she insisted on leaving the house" explained Rian again.
The deg! Alfiya's heart suddenly thumped. So you went to the hospital for the mistake? Why without him knowing it always hurts others.
"Mother this morning I realized. So please come with me to see my mother."
"Well, I'm going to the hospital now."

It was in the hospital. It was there that Alfiya saw the weakly lying mother stiffly. Hearing one of the doctors explanation earlier he was a little surprised.
What is clear according to what he heard, the mother actually still can not accept the departure of her brother until now. The tragic accident apparently traumatized my mother.
Staring at the face of the mother deep, looks very cute, sometimes the lips of the mother vibrate to call the name of the brother to make Alfiya's heart feel slashed.
"Gita...."
Alfiya was suddenly jolted by that voice. She saw that she was conscious with her eyes blinked many times looking at her.
"Hugely...." Alfiya said stiffly.
"Gita...." Again the mother mentioned her brother's name when she saw him.
"Repert...." Alfiya rushed out to call the father sanga.
Soon after, my father approached. "Well, what's going on with Alfiya?" Ask father.
"Busy waking...." Tuckered.
"Keep why you're outside.... Let's go in, meet your mother."
Alfiya.
"Why?" Ask father wonder.
"Busy...." Alfiya could not say if his mother thought he was Anggita.
"Why Alfiya? Ha?" Seeing Alfiya in full of anxiety, he rushed into the patient's room.
"Hugely...." I hold my mother's hand tightly.
Mother looked at her husband with a pus. "Sir, Gita...."
Hearing the name of his late daughter come out of his wife's mouth, the father suddenly felt pity. He knew it was not easy for his wife to accept that their first daughter was dead.
"I'm busy." The beginning of the word you said to calm the wife. "Gita...we pray that he will be calm...."
Mom suddenly wanted to cry. "So Gita's here...."
You are shocked full of astonishment. "Gita's here?!" Suddenly you are worried. Why did you suddenly become like this? "Oh, Gita our son is no more.." he explained.
"No, sir. The Gita was here.... Gita here and ibuk. I call Gita, she came out."
Waitaminute! You start to guess. Don't-don't the one you think Anggita is herself!
"Gita, dear here same mother, son...."
The deg! A moment later the father turned his head back to follow the direction of his mother's view. So what he saw there was, Alfiya! So what I consider Anggita is Alfiya.
I look back at mom. "Look! That's Alfiya not Anggita."
Hearing that remark, my mother replied to my father with a glaring look. "NO!! IT'S GITA!!"
"Oh my god, I am aware that our son Gita is no more." Said father worried.
The mother who heard that tried to rebel from the arms of the father. "Gita.." looked at Alfiya who was standing by the side of the door looking at the mother full of sadness.
A moment later the doctor and midwife came to calm the mother. The doctor gave the anesthetic injection so that the mother did not rebel.
After mom fell asleep. The doctor asked to speak to the father and also Alfiya who happened to be just the two families who were there at the time.
"If I see Ernika's mother is currently starting to experience symptoms of mental disorders. Hearing the story about the departure of the father, things can happen because he has not been able to accept the departure of your late son." The doctor breathed a long breath. "Some people are difficult to accept the departure of loved ones, especially suddenly. For that I hope the understanding of the closest family. For some time this please always accompany Ernika's mother, for fear that she will do the unexpected, even the possibility of self-harm."
They finished talking to the doctor. I asked Alfiya for time to talk. "Son, you follow my mother's request." said father slowly expectantly.
Alfiya who had been busy in his mind turned his head. "I mean father?" tanyakanya.
"Marry Elvan, for your mother's sake. Please, son."
Again Alfiya was asked to do this. He looked into my eyes deeply, there was a trace of fear there.
"Sir, I don't love Elvan, please understand. I already have Joe, you know. I'm the same she's been in a relationship for a long time. You've known him since we were in High School."
You sigh, he should know asking Alfiya to do this is indeed very difficult. But again he looked at his daughter with a plea.
"Only for a moment Alfiya, marry Alvian for a moment...." The heart of the father who had been beating since then now feels pumped very fast. "Do a temporary marriage with Elvan, until your mother can accept all of this." In reality, you are very confused about what to do at a time like this. He loved his wife very much, hearing the doctor's explanation he was afraid, he was afraid of the possibility that would happen next.
Alfiya was still speechless. He really felt that everyone had given him a great burden. Please, this request is too difficult for him to grant.
When his mouth was about to open, he refused the request again. Suddenly he was surprised by the father who shed tears while suddenly slumped in front of him
"Mr!!" Alfiya immediately sat down to see that. Alfiya's tears came straight out.
"Alfiya. We've lost Anggita."
Alfiya who was sitting on the floor held his head full of confusion. "But sir.." he said frustratedly. "How is it possible."
He looked up at his daughter expectantly. "Married to Elvan, for one year only.." I don't know where he came from finally had such thoughts, but that's all he can say at this time so that Alfiya agrees with his request.
"One year?" alfiya. So they mean their father married just for the sake of mother's recovery?
Father nodded. "After that, it's up to you to decide what. Please only one year.... I beg Alfiya, I no longer know how to calm my mother who continues to rampage when she wakes up."
Alfiya was getting deeper. Long silence hit them, until finally the girl looked at the father with sadness. "But I want some conditions...."
Mr. looked up. "So you agree?"
"On condition sir.." said Alfiya again.
"What's Alfiya's terms?"
"This wedding, I beg you not to let anyone know." she said tightly. "I beg sir...."
Then he looked at Alfiya for a moment, until finally the man nodded in agreement.
