“Cheal fast yes, my sweet sister!” Said Randy stroking the top of Yuri's head while trying to smile sweetly. But Yuri glared, her eyes glistening. After that the weak shoulder shook a little.
Randy held his breath, and misbehaved himself. Feeling in the wrong position. He looked at Hilma's mother who was staring at their interaction. Mother Hilma was seen shaking faintly, then approaching the bed.
“Darling, go to sleep again. You have to rest a lot, let you recover quickly.” Yuri did not respond. Nor look at it at all.
For a few moments in the silence of the room, no one made a sound.
“Mother, dizzy.!” yuri sounded weak. When the pale face with sunken eyes it turns the face slowly.
“Ya Alloh, Yuri!” blood on his nose. Randy immediately grabbed the tissue on the table, handed it to Hilma's mother who immediately wiped it very slowly.
"That's why don't you think like that, Yuri. You will find it hard to heal if you think strangely. Believe me Mother, everything will be fine.

Mother Hilma invites Randy to go to the cafeteria, to just chat because the task of guarding Yuri has been replaced by uncle Herman and his wife.
“You heard it yourself, right, what did the doctor say, Ran? Yuri needs the support of the people closest to her. Especially the person he loves.”
“Mother, I do love Yuri, but I don't love her as a woman.” Randy's refutation is still being urged to take a stand.
“Mother no longer knows, how to convince you. Mother actually regretted, how later when Yuri arrived called by the Almighty, while the mother could not do anything to fulfill her wishes. I am a useless mother. Hikks hiiikks.
It was seen that Mother Hilma patted her chest, dripping her tears that she had previously held while in Yuri's room.
“Mother, don't say that.” Randy ruffled his hair in frustration. He felt useless as a child, feeling guilty, considering the services of Hilma's mother who had cared for and raised him with affection. Hilma also never asked for anything that incriminated her all this time.
Already a few sheets of tissue Hilma spent to wipe her tears. Randy let the woman who raised him spill his grief. Fortunately their seats are in the corner of the room with lights that are not too bright.
Fifteen minutes had passed, and now the bone-white hooded woman in front of Randy looked calmer. Randy grabs Hilma's right hand on the table, puts it close to her left cheek, then kisses the back of the hand in reverence.
“Mother, Randy has thought about it. But, can you confirm something?” randy asked slowly, as if hesitant and heavy.
“What do you mean, Rand?” randy's breathing felt heavy and tight. From the conversation he had with Hana was still ashes. Whether a Hana would be that easy could accept the reason. Not to mention the response of Mr. Hadi and his wife.
“Can you be sure, if I... I marry Yuri, Hana will still marry me?” Hilma looked at the handsome young man before her. I didn't expect Randy to change his mind that fast.
“I. I can't live without Hana. Randy has never been in love this deep, Mother! I can't imagine Hana leaving Randy!” Hilma couldn't believe what she was hearing.
“You sure, Son?”
“If you are sure, Mother will talk to Hana. God willing, if indeed you are a match, he would want to accept.” Shaking Randy's hands and heart, in fact the woman he considers like his mother can not make sure.
“I will obey your will, If you can confirm it...!” still trying to confirm that the woman in front of him can convince Hana.
“The owner of that certainty is only Allah SWT. Believe me, if you are a match, surely you will meet at the temple. And no one will be able to separate you two.” Randy sighs. He's too scared.
Afraid of his fear.
Afraid will ....Uhhh!
“Tomorrow, Mommy will talk to Hana and her parents. We pray for the best for all of us.”
“Please yes, dear. May God bless your life always.” Hilma's mother's sincere prayer.

The next day, after isya' five people in the living room of Pak Hadi's house, sat facing each other. Mr. Hadi and Ms. Mira looked at each other, feeling strange about the arrival of their besan candidates.
“Pak Hadi and Bu Mira, must know my adopted son named Yuri, who is currently struggling and surviving the disease he suffered?” said Mother Hilma after talking trite for a while asking for news. Ms. Mira nodded, Mr. Hadi had never visited Yuri, only Mira and Hana had visited Yuri in the home some time ago. But at that time Yuri pretended to sleep, because she was jealous of Hana and did not want to see her. Unwilling to disturb Yuri's sleep, Mira and Hana return home before Yuri wakes up.
And all that Ms. Mira told her husband.
“Iya, mbakyu, we know. What happened to her, she's fine, isn't she, Miss Hilma?”
Hana just listened carefully to the words of Mother Hilma. So too with Herman.
“Vonis the doctor who handled it, Yuri's age is predicted to be soon. And before that happens, the doctor says that we grant what Yuri wants, so that there will be no regrets later if he..hikkss!” Herman stroked his sister's shoulders which began to be unable to control themselves.
“That tawakkal mbakyu, the age of man is not the determining doctor. But Allah SWT. Believe me, even though the doctor says someone will die in a week or a month, but if God determines his age 10 years again, then God's destiny is the case. Doctors are also humans who can only predict, not life and death determinants of a person.” The words of Mr. Hadi resuscitated the mother of Hilma.
“Yes, Kang Hadi is right. Astaghfirullahaladzim, Thank you for reminding me.” Hilma shrunk her tears with a tissue.
“Same with mbakyu. We as humans should remind each other. We are also ordinary people who do not escape from wrong and sin.” Hilma once again thanked me.
“Begini Kang Hadi, Mbakyu Mira. And my son Hana, without prejudice to my respect for both Kang Hadi and mbak Mira, and my affection for Hana, I want to propose something. And I really hope this family, especially Hana, has no objection to the decision I have taken with Randy's approval of course.”
Hana awaits Hilma's mother's speech with anxiety and heart pounding.
“With the pain of Yuri and her increasingly worrying condition, the doctor also said that we can support Yuri, so that she is eager to survive the pain, by granting what she wants. For fear this will be his last wish.” Hilma lowered her head and fell silent for a moment.
“Since the beginning Yuri loved Randy not as a sister to her brother. With Yuri's circumstances like that, I beg Hana to marry Randy to Yuri.” The three hosts were surprised to hear Mother Hilma's words.
“A_what?” hana's lips trembled, even more so her heart. His cheeks were warmed by tears that just burst.
“We did not hear wrong, Mbak Hilma?” said Mira who even stood up. Mr. Hadi drew his wife's hand to sit back, to honor the guest.
The arrival of candidates who were not planned, even brought very unpleasant news. Especially for Hana who is preparing everything for her wedding with Randy. Suddenly everything became big.
“This time I admit I was wrong, I did half force Randy to do it. So, Hana don't blame Randy, yeah! And your marriage will continue because her marriage to Yuri is just a status. There's no way Yuri can do her duty as a wife, and it's you who Randy will love, Hana. Randy will still be yours. Don't worry about Yuri, even if Randy later marries Yuri, he will still consider her a sister, and let Randy have a little time to take care of Yuri. Mother please, Hana.”
“I disagree my only child is polygamous!” mira immediately stood up, climbed up again. He did not accept the statement of Mother Hilma who so lightly said this all.
“Bu, enough. Don't emotion. Sit down again!” reprimand sir Hadi to his wife firmly. But Mira did not lose out loud.
“But well, how is father so calm, hearing our only child will be polygamous. I don't accept!” ms. Mira was determined by her opinion.
“But ma'am, isn't this their reason for Yuri's hope of being able to fulfill a wish that might be her last wish. Hope is thin. And they had to do all this too.”
“Hope is healed thin, does not mean not healed? Not his own father who said, the age of man in the hands of God, what if after marriage with Randy Yuri continues to recover from his illness, how about, what their marriage will also continue or be annulled and they keep our child. Think dong, Dad!” mira said full of emotion. They were arguing in front of their guests.
“From later on, it's better now it hurts.”
Basically a married woman wants her husband to belong to her completely. Don't want to share with anyone. One in a thousand women who are willing to be combined or whatever the name. Yes, the name is honey, it should taste sweet and healthy. But, in fact, if done very bitter.
While Hana who had been silent and became down, her tears just kept flowing. Moreover, hearing the debate of his parents, he could not stand it and ran towards his room.
“Hana..!” call Mother Hilma but not ignored Hana.
Why after I gave my heart to you, this painful event happened. It hurt my heart, Randy. Hannah.
“Mbakyu, Kang Hadi, sorry I interrupted you a little. I mean my sister is good. We were also confused by this in fact. But what can be done, decisions must be made. And Randy agreed. And we hope that our son's marriage will also continue, that was Randy's request before we came here.” Mr. Herman finally opened his voice. But it was cut by Mira.
“And we, want the best for our only son, Mr. Herman. Don't mistake. We want the best for our children. And my decision is unanimous, I will not let Hana and Randy's marriage continue if Randy wants to marry Yuri. I excuse.” Ms. Mira immediately passed from the living room approaching Hana to her room, not understanding Mr. Hadi's call.
Because there is no meeting point, finally Mr. Herman and Mother Hilma returned empty-handed, Hadi also apologized, and will leave this matter to Hana. Because he is the one who will live it. And Hana's decision, will be the determinant of continued or annulled their marriage.
