Herman saw the clock in his hand, the time showed at 10 p.m. His gaze now turned to the bedroom window and peered out the window.
"Why haven't they come back yet? Haiss.. Stop thinking about Nisa, she'll soon be your sister-in-law, Herman." murmured Herman softly.
Soon a red Sedan car entered the yard. Herman's gaze reverted out the window and stared at the pair of lovers out of the car with a happy smile. Seeing that, Herman tried to smile thinly and closed the window curtain again.
Herman turned to his bed and slammed his body into his bed. The man tried to close his eyes until he could completely rest his body.

"Thank you, Mum." Nisa said as she arrived in front of the door of her room.
Dennis replied with a smile.
"It looks like Mama and Mas Herman are asleep." Dennis said as he looked around.
Nisa also nodded.
"You better get in the room and go to bed. Tomorrow we have to go to Surabaya." Dennis.
Nisa nodded with a smile and followed Dennis' orders. After making sure Nisa entered his room, Dennis went to his room with some paper bags.

The next morning Nisa woke up and rushed to do routine activities in the morning. When she was ready, Nisa went out of the room. As she closed the door, Nisa heard the sound of people screaming. Nisa tries to sharpen her hearing.
And sure enough, the voice was heard from Herman's room. Nisa rushed to Herman's room.
Tok.. Nisa tried to knock on Herman's door several times but unfortunately there was no answer.
Nisa is also worried about Herman. He thought about asking Dennis for help but it was too early to wake Dennis up. Nisa finally holds Herman's door handle, tries to open it and turns out the room is not locked.
Nisa also ventured to step into Herman's room. In Herman's room, Nisa sees Herman delirious in her dreams. Rushing Nisa over to Herman and waking the man from his nightmare. Nisa starts to sit on the edge of Herman's bed.
"Of.. Om, wake. Please wake up." Nisa said as she patted Herman's cheek gently.
"To. long.. Don't go, To. long.." raved Herman.
Nisa tries to come back by shaking Herman's shoulder. And finally the man got up and immediately hugged Nisa.
"Miss, thank goodness you're okay." Herman said softly.
Nisa who was shocked because of Herman's sudden embrace could only fall silent not retaliating.
"Please don't go again, Nis." added Herman.
Nisa reflexively releases Herman's embrace and leaves the man shocked.
"Sorry Om, soon we'll be brothers-in-law. Please keep your attitude, Om." Nisa said and left Herman.
Hearing that Herman was silent while staring at Nisa's departure. Instantly his face turned into a machete.

"Ma, after this Nisa and I will go to Surabaya." Dennis said as he stuffed a spoonful of rice into his mouth.
"Now, son?" ask Yuyun.
"Well if that's your Mama's permission." Reply Yuyun.
"Nis, what are you doing? Is the food not good?" asked Yuyun who had glanced at Nisa.
"E.eh no, Mom. The food's good." Nisa turned to look at Yuyun.
"Are you sick?" dennis asked as he placed his hand on Nisa's forehead to check Nisa's body temperature.
"I don't know why, Mom." Nisa replied as she grabbed Dennis' hand and hinted that she was fine.
"Well, if so. Quickly finish breakfast, yeah.." Dennis.
Nisa nodded with a smile.

The atmosphere of the trip to Surabaya is so quiet. As usual Nisa just looked out the window with a blank look.
"Nis, have you contacted your parents if we're going there?" dennis asked to melt the mood.
"Here you go, my mom." Nisa answered without looking.
"Did something happen?" ask Dennis astonished.
"Everything's fine, Mom." Answer Nisa.
Dennis took a deep breath and refocused on his drive.
Shortly after Dennis's car stopped at the airport. The journey will be continued by air to shorten the time. Nisa and Dennis went down at the same time. They walked into the airport building. Dennis pulled a small suitcase bag while Nisa carried a backpack that was already attached to her back.
As she was about to board the plane, Nisa grabbed one of Dennis' hands and held it tightly in both hands. Dennis looked at her as if he knew Nisa's fear.
"Nothing, we're riding together huh. Don't be afraid, I won't leave you alone." Dennis said as he patted Nisa's hand slowly to calm the girl down.
"I don't feel good, Mom." Nisa lirih.
"We pray. It could be because it's your first time getting on a plane." Dennis's Reply.
"Look, we have to hurry because soon the plane will leave." Add Dennis and lead Nisa's hand slowly.
Nisa also walked in Dennis' footsteps and boarded the plane. After sitting on her stool, Nisa unceasingly prayed in her heart. His heart was completely agitated after getting into the plane.
"You're still scared, just try to sleep. I'll wake up later." Dennis.
Nisa nodded and obeyed Dennis. Dennis clasped Nisa's hand trying to calm the girl next to him.

Slowly Nisa opened her eyes and found her in a white-walled room. Nisa also felt her whole body ache, she also found an infusion and breathing apparatus on her nose.
"Am I in the hospital?" inner Nisa.
