Grandpa's Choice Man

The Second

Two months later, Tiara's apprentice time had arrived. Tiara woke up early so excited to join the first day's internship. In fact, he was very excited to wake Rama brutally so as not to be late to drive him later.

Ti**ng. Ting tong's. Suddenly, the bell of the house of the Rama family rang in the morning. Ms. Ina who was sitting at the dinner table waiting for her son and daughter-in-law immediately walked towards the door.

"Who is this early in the morning visiting? I don't feel like I have any appointments with anyone" Bu Ina grumbled to herself.

After opening the door, a man of his age stood up and smiled kindly at him. Ms. Ina did not recognize the old man but still welcomed him in as a form of respect and courtesy.

"Please sit down, sir. With whose Father?" ask Bu Ina's friendly.

"I'm Latif. Nafisa's parents, Nak Rama's friends," replied the old man named Latif with a doubtful look.

Hearing the name Nafisa, the look on Bu Ina's face turned sour because there was a sense of being detained. Ms. Ina still tries to be as friendly as possible to appreciate her guests.

"About what, sir?" tanya Bu Ina keeps up the courtesy.

"I want to meet Nak Rama. Is it home?" replied Mr. Latif lowered his head in shame.

"There was. Let me call for a moment" said Bu Ina as she got off the sofa and walked to the second floor.

Then, Bu Ina returned with Rama and Tiara beside him. Rama immediately greeted Mr. Latif with respect and curiosity. The four of them were sitting in the living room so full of tension that the living room was so spacious that it felt stuffy when they were breathing.

"sorry. What's the matter with me, Mr Latif?" ask Rama as carefully as possible.

"Just go ahead, Rama. I'm sorry if I said this but I don't know what else to do. Nafisa is dying now. Not want to eat. Not taking medication. Very bad and the situation is getting worse," said Mr. Latif can no longer stem his tears.

"Inna Lillaah," said Rama and Bu Ina simultaneously, only Tiara who is still quietly trying to arrange his heart because it has begun to receive a bad premonition from the words of Nafisa's father.

"How did it happen, sir? Isn't he diligent in his control of the doctor?" ask Rama iba.

"The atmosphere became so intense that it made her cry and scream suddenly. Every day he had to take a sedative so as not to remember the trauma of his marriage and make him cry for hours. He is now in hospital because he is very weak. Nafisa said that the cancer she suffered grew again and feared her age soon," replied Mr. Latif withstood deep sadness.

"Just calm down, sir. For the cost of treatment, all I will bear because it has been discussed with Nafisa. The important thing is that he quickly recovers and recovers as usual" said Rama trying to calm down.

Bu Ina expressed disbelief at Rama's claim to bear the cost of Nafisa's treatment. His mouth was suddenly very itchy to immediately speak four eyes with his son who elusive way of mind.

"That's not what I mean, Rama. Sorry if I was so excited to say this. I don't know what else to do. Nafisa's only hope is to heal her trauma to marriage and men in order to be more calm through her days that have been overshadowed by death," said Mr. Latif concern.

Later, Mr. Latif showed a picture of Nafisa who was rubbed weakly with a pale face and increasingly thin in a hospital room. Various medical devices stuck to his body like infusions, oxygen, and some wires on his chest. It looks so haggard and sad to make anyone who sees it sad.

"Do I need to find a new psychiatrist to handle it, sir?" ask Rama pity.

"Can. Whatever is best, I support it. But... Nafisa wants to stay in Jakarta" replied Pak Latif gamam.

"Why, Sir? Isn't Nafisa who wants treatment in Semarang to be close to her parents?" rama asked increasingly confused by the talk of Nafisa's father who was very long-winded.

"Tell me exactly what did Mr. Latif mean here?" firmly Bu Ina can not stand with Mr. Latif who is so stalling for time.

"sorry. I'm here to wave Rama to my daughter. I don't know what else I can do to make her happy for the rest of her life because her only hope is to marry Rama... Even if it has to be the second. At least, help my daughter make her wish come true because I'm afraid that this is her last wish" Mr Latif said, staring expectantly at Rama.

Three people in front of Mr. Latif were surprised to hear his statement like lightning in broad daylight. They look emotional but the expression they show is different. Ms. Ina opened her eyes in disbelief. Rama was flabbergasted as if what he heard was only in a dream. Tiara lowered her head very deeply restraining her cries.

"I beg Rama. You're my only hope for the happiness of my dying son. Although not restoring his condition, at least let him be more enthusiastic in living his life," Pinta Pak Latif put aside his pride.

"This father how? In the past, you rejected Rama's proposal raw and made my son almost crazy because of it. Now, instead propose to my son to marry your daughter. Sir, my son is already happy with his wife," said Bu Ina a little high-pitched because his patience had run out.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't know my daughter loved Rama. In fact, until now the feeling is still the same. So please help me realize my daughter's last dream. It's okay even if it's only serial and temporary marriage. It doesn't matter if Rama doesn't love him. Importantly, Nafisa was able to recover from her trauma and was able to marry Rama so that I could calmly realize her only dream at this time," said Mr. Latif pleaded.

"I can't, Sir. Although only a formality, marriage is still a marriage. If there is a deal, then my responsibility is the same," Rama argued with emphasis.

"No need to act as a real husband. Most importantly, please marry my son. Pity him who is struggling with his pain and trauma alone. It's only Rama he wants" urged Mr Latif slowly.

Suddenly, Mr. Latif got up and kowtowed at Rama's feet. Rama was so jolted that he immediately dodged and guided Mr. Latif to his feet.

"Abang, Mama, Tiara leave first huh. Afraid that it was too late for the first day of the apprenticeship," Tiara suddenly moved from her seat with a flat expression but her eyes held a deep wound.

"Honey, Brother and sister, yes" said Rama.

"No, Bang. Let Mr. Grace take Tiara. Brother finished his business first," Tiara denied trying to smile as much as he could but failed to hide his sadness.

"Religious. I'm inter. I will return home to finish this, "persuade Rama as he approached Tiara.

Tiara also brushed off Rama's hand that was about to touch his shoulder. He dodged because he did not want his tears to spill there. Bu Ina also looked at Tiara with pity and no longer knew how to calm his little daughter-in-law who was certainly very hit.

"No, Bang. Tiara wants to be alone first. Tiara hopes you can understand, "tiara said uncontested.

"But, Ra," prevent Rama from heeding Tiara.

Tiara even shook her hands and kissed her hands at a glance. Then, switch to hold Bu Ina for a while to slightly strengthen his mind yamg successfully torn conditions.

"Darling, you haven't had breakfast yet. Breakfast used to be with Mama," persuaded Bu Ina could not bear to see the sadness that lingered on the face of his favorite daughter-in-law.

"No, Ma. It's noon. Afraid late. Let Tiara have breakfast there, "turn down Tiara politely.

"Yes. Be careful, Mother Child. Hopefully the internship will be launched. Mama dear Tiara," said Bu Ina while rubbing Tiara's hair.

"Yes, Ma," Tiara replied briefly because it was already very heavy to hold back her cries.

Bu Ina and Rama let go of Tiara with the same worry but Tiara really did not want to be disturbed so they could only hope Tiara would be cheerful as usual. Tiara stepped unexpectedly, the first day of her internship was even greeted with an event that slashed her spirit. It felt like he wanted to faint to forget it even if it was only temporary.

After Tiara's departure, the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Rama did not expect that his good intentions would end like this. While Bu Ina wants to immediately give birth to questions that have been burning in his head.

"Rama, please consider. One month married to him. Let him feel the happiness we cannot marry him. Then I say goodbye. This is my number and this is the address of the hospital Nafisa was treated probably want to ascertain his condition," said Mr. Latif while leaving a piece of paper containing the writing he had described.

After the departure of Mr. Latif, Bu Ina highlighted Rama full of anger. Yep. This is the first time Ms. Ina has been so angry and disappointed with her youngest son. To the point of being confused how to respond to the events that destroyed the bright morning. Rama was equally devastated because his relationship with Tiara was back in ruins after a month of progress.

"Rama, you're outrageous!" jolt Bu Ina ketus and raised his hand to slap his youngest son who is always dear.

A plaaakkkk! Slap Bu Ina on Rama's left cheek.

Rama only silently received the slap Bu Ina had just felt. He understood very well that this was a level of disappointment that was already extraordinary for Bu Ina. After slapping Rama, Bu Ina hugged her son with tears in her arms.
