Grandpa's Choice Man

The Pilu Nafisa

Inner Tiara gasped to hear the utterance of Rama as if no burden. The feeling of unreliability that almost melted his frustration was suddenly pushed back by the circumstances. There is a feeling of hate or whatever feeling is enthroned in him, which is obviously very uncomfortable and lazy to explain.

"That's your business. That privation is none of my business" said Tiara, reversing Rama's words.

Rama was very unwell because instead of getting attention, Tiara even more angry until he felt more guilty. This time, it seems like Tiara is not messing around and must be completed from heart to heart.

"Look at me, Ra!" persuade Rama to Tiara who was still nailing by the window.

Tiara only glanced at Rama at a glance from the reflection of the glass. His gaze seemed sincere but Tiara was already emotional so did not feel sorry for him. He also did not make the call Rama tilted his body towards the window, then closed his eyes to pick up his sleepiness by force.

"Ra, I know you're not sleepy yet" said Rama as he rubbed Tiara on his back.

Two hours of waiting for Tiara to make a sound turned out to be futile. However, there was a slight sense of relief after hearing Tiara's subtle snoring that marked her deep. He dropped to the back of the chair and lay down to wait for his sleepiness to arrive, then picked up a dream with Tiara.

Rama suddenly remembered the story of Nafisa and a little disturbed by the life story told briefly by him. Pilu right his heart knew the person who had been the queen in his heart, suddenly had a story that terribly hurt him. He also imagined if Nafisa with him would not have a story as sad as that but maybe the path they went through must be different.

...----------------...

Flashback as Rama and Nafisa on the train after Tiara's departure.

Rama actually wanted to prevent Tiara but he was more curious about Nafisa who seemed to be holding a very deep wound. After all, he thought that Tiara would not be angry and not care about her attitude.

"Who is that woman, Rama? Your sister?" asked Nafisa curiously full of doubt.

"She's my wife" answered Rama heavily.

"Wife?" nafisa asked to confirm but her eyes dimmed before Rama said it.

Rama nodded steadily with a flat face, without a smile or happy taut. For now, he was more curious about what Nafisa was hiding. Nafisa miserably can divorce certainly not easy path that has been passed.

"Not to divert the conversation. What was? Why did you get divorced?" ask Rama.

Nafisa also sat on the bench according to her ticket and Rama followed in the side seat that was still empty because it was deliberately ordered by Nafisa as well. He wanted calmness so he didn't want anyone next to him.

"I was divorced by my husband" Nafisa replied, holding back tears.

"You're divorced? How come? Indeed, what are you wrong?" rama asked in shock.

"I can't give you offspring" Nafisa replied with a voice beginning to tremble.

"Huh? Can still be worked on. You've only been married four years. Can't you just be patient for a second?" rama said clenching his hands held back the emotion.

"But I can no longer have children" Nafisa said, emphasizing the voice to convince Rama.

Rama knitted both eyebrows. He did not understand what Nafisa was saying.

"My spirit has been lifted up, Rama. I can't get pregnant anymore" Nafisa's cry finally broke even though it was soft but quite painful to buy her.

Rama can only be silent, do not know what to say again if this is the story. Hearing the story alone had greatly made his chest tight. He could not imagine how destroyed the world of Nafisa when he first knew and had to survive until now.

"With three years of marriage, I was late to find out the symptoms because it was very similar to the menstruation that I had been experiencing. Suddenly, my stomach had started to grow unnaturally and many thought I was pregnant. After three more years of marriage, of course my husband, his family, and my family are very much looking forward so I am afraid to face the opposite reality with hope. Every time I bleed a little, I think it's natural because of the adjustment of the uterus and again don't dare to check. I'm afraid if the doctor says it's not pregnant and it will destroy all hope. When my stomach bulged like seven months pregnant, I was finally examined by my husband and family because I suddenly fainted and was bleeding" Nafisa's story was slow and heart-wrenching as she listened.

"That's when it was discovered that I had an already large ovarian cyst. Finally, surgery was required and one of my ovaries was removed. Not long after, it was found also cysts in other ovaries that spread quickly. After performing various series of examinations such as blood tests, ultrasound, biopsy, and laparoscopy, it is finally known if ovarian cysts have become ovarian cancer and complications with endometriosis. Doctors have tried many times to handle me but never improved as well, so rather than cancer to spread to other places, finally my uterus was forced to be removed, Rama," continued Nafisa sobbed.

Rama could only listen carefully because he did not know how to tell.

"Since then, the husband's family finally forced the husband to remarry because I could no longer give offspring. The husband who was initially patient and loved me, finally faltered too so disappointed. He regretted that I was late to know the strange signs of myself and was too trivial until things got this bad. Because it is very saturated and lost sense, the husband finally obeyed the willingness of his family to marry again. Finally, I got divorced because my husband's new wife didn't want to be pitted and they kicked me out. Maybe, I better go home to an old man who can accept me for who I am" added Nafisa trying to pluck wisdom.

"Really, savage them!" rama's curse that reaches the vocabulary to call on Nafisa's husband and his family.

"Right now, I'm still on medication. However, I was confused how to pay for it because it was so expensive. Pensioner money is certainly already reserved for his sister who is still in the third grade of High School and I can not work because my condition is not stable," continued Nafisa.

"Forwardly your treatment. I'll find the best doctor in Indonesia to handle you. For the cost, no more worries. All my business. The important thing is that you recover and regroup with your family in a happy atmosphere" said Rama.

"No need, Rama. I don't want to trouble anyone. In part, this treatment can cost tens of hundreds of millions," Nafisa declined.

"Money can be sought, but life cannot be bought. Try to pass first. There is still a way, do not give up on the situation," persuaded Rama reassured Nafisa.

"But, Rama? Why are you so nice to me? Even though Father has rejected your proposal," asked Nafisa gradually calm down.

"Yes that was. Now, you're my friend, my best friend. So do not hesitate to accept my free help," replied Rama.

"Thank you, Ram. I don't know what else to say to you and don't know how to reply to it" Nafisa said full day.

"Reply with your spirit and healing" said Rama.

After that, they exchanged cell phone numbers and contacted each other. When the announcement of the train immediately rolled off, Rama also said goodbye and returned to his wife.

The flashback ended because Tiara suddenly woke up and looked at Rama in astonishment.

"What's up, Ra?" asked Rama softly.

"Why not sleep? Thinking about that woman?" tiara asked with teary eyes holding water on her petals so as not to spill.

"Yes, I thought about it," answered Rama while glaring at the ceiling of the carriage.

"Did you still love her?" tiara was curious.

"Yes of course, dear" said Rama as if he was unconscious.

Tiara mutely submissive. It seems that her feelings for Rama have grown over time so it is very painful to know that her husband still loves other women.

"Why don't you just turn it around with him? It also seemed that she still loved Brother very much," Tiara calmly bargained to lie to her feelings that were torn apart by the circumstances.

Rama raised an eyebrow and smiled meaningfully at Tiara. The sparkle on his face was so radiant that he could not hide the happiness he was feeling.
