Last Request

covenant

yesterday

In a coffeeshop there are two middle-aged men talking, they are his father kyra (aryo) with his best friend named Bima.

"So what do you want to talk about? " Task Bima to aryo.

Aryo immediately handed me the checkup envelope from the doctor.

"What'sthis? " Task Bima.

"Open it up" His answer with a faint smile.

After opening it and reading it his friend was immediately surprised, it turned out that the person who was sitting in front of him had been enduring pain and his time was not long.

"Why are you telling me about this now?, how can you ? you look okay, this is a lie, right? " Ask with a worried face.

"That's the fact, all this time I tried everything I could to look good, so my son wouldn't worry" replied Aryo.

"Why are you telling me about this now? " Ask with a sad look.

"I didn't think that it would be this fast, I guess I still have a lot of time, but it turns out I could even die tomorrow"

Aryo said trying to toughen up when his heart was very broken.

Her job in this world is not finished yet, she has not watched her son graduate college, work, succeed, and get married.

"You don't tell me that, you still have a chance, as long as you are in care, I will help find the best doctor for you" said Bima who wants to help her friend.

"No Bim, I don't want my daughter to have any trouble keeping me in the middle of her busy study, and I'm not strong even just to think about how worried she is" Aryo said he could not see his beloved daughter worried.

"Then what are your plans?, won't kyra be more hit when you suddenly leave her? " Task Bima.

"The thing that's still stuck in my heart is who's gonna take care of her later, and my last wish is to watch her get married, that's my promise to my wife before she's gone" His reply was sad because he remembered his long-gone wife.

"And when I came here, meeting you out of wanting to ask for something, I knew it was selfish to ask for my own interests, but I had no choice" Said aryo actually he also felt bad to convey his request but what is his strength that can only hope if his best friend does not mind.

"Can you marry your son to my daughter? " I ask him with supplication and hope.

For a while Bima thought for a moment, she could not refuse her friend because this was her last request, the last request from the person she already considered a brother, but what about her son, would she agree to it?.

"I'm not sure my son will accept this match" With a heavy heart he said.

"But I don't know to whom I can leave my daughter, if it's you and your son then I can calm down, I know your son is very responsible, polite, kind, kind, therefore I want to marry them, so that I can calmly leave my daughter because she is already beside the right person" said Kyra's father who made his heart slit and unable to resist.

"Well, I will persuade my son to accept your daughter" replied Bima in the end.

"Thank you" replied Kyra's father smiling with relief.

"I have to go home now, my daughter must have been waiting for me" Kyra's father said after seeing the watch in his hand.

"Well, be careful, let me know if anything happens" he said, fearing that his friend would suddenly become ill.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be fine" Kyra's father said with a smile, when it was clear his age was soon but still trying strong.

...****************...

a man named alby rasya mahendra was heading to his apartment after returning home from work.

clique

the sound of the door opening alby went straight inside but he was a little confused because the lights in the whole room were on, but before long a familiar voice greeted him.

"yes, he was busy" he answered and went to sit with his father.

"pa tumben came here alone, not the same mama?" alby asked, usually his father always came together with his mother.

"mama at home, papa came here because there is someone you want to talk to, this is important and urgent" said Bima he was a little nervous to tell his son.

"yes, I said it" he replied casually.

"papa tau you must be surprised, but papa hope you do not refuse about this, and papa also know papa should not interfere in this but papa need your help" said Bima.

"what's this about?, I'm confused, try to tell me directly" said alby he did not understand what his father was trying to say.

"papa wants you to marry his friend's son papa" said Bima who greatly surprised alby, married is not in his plan.

"i don't want pa, I don't have time to think about other people, let alone get married, it's a very important thing not just to play" alby immediately refused and his father became confused thinking of a way to persuade his son.

"papa ngerti, so all this time papa never asked anything about this, but papa has a reason" said Bima trying to persuade his son.

"you know om aryo right?, it turns out that he is now sick and just waiting until he is gone, and his last request is to marry his daughter to you, he wants to leave his daughter to the right person he can trust, before he leaves his daughter" Bima said.

"but why did I pa? " ask alby.

"because om aryo believes in you, he thinks you are good, responsible, and can take care of his daughter" Bima's answer is still trying to make alby accept to marry his friend's daughter.

"but pa, I don't want to get married like this especially with responsibilities like that, what if it turns out I can't take care of him?" alby still refused.

"alby every marriage has the same responsibility, be it your choice or an arranged marriage, if you marry someone then all responsibility passes to you, that is why every parent becomes very choosy about their child's spouse" Bima reminded her son.

" but shouldn't marriage be sincere and love each other?, then what about this?, even we don't know each other" alby still tries to reject her marriage.

"but you can try to get to know each other later after marriage, like oma and opa, they love each other after marriage until the end of their lives" he said, who took the example of his grandmother and grandfather alby who married because of matchmaking, it was only natural because it was decades ago.

" alby, papa please, help papa yes, kasian om aryo, kasian his daughter, if om aryo died he will be alone no one" bima pleaded to alby, alby, he had run out of ideas to persuade his son.

Hearing that alby felt pity, alone in this sometimes evil world must be very difficult, but alby himself was not sure he could take care of and protect someone.

"but dad, I'm not sure I can take care of anyone else, I'm not sure I can love him, let alone I'm busy working, overtime, maybe I don't have time for him, maybe I don't have time for him, maybe there is not looking after him but I abandoned him" said alby who is now becoming worried, on one hand he is kasian but on the other hand he does not want to get married because of matchmaking and he is still not sure if he can take care of others while sometimes himself likes to forget the time if it is already working.

"On that you can get used to it slowly, if you are often together then everything will feel easier, believe equally papa, besides work also so far is good, you do not have time because you are too hobbyist to spend all the time just to work "Say Bima which is what it is.

"then mama how?, what do you think mama is also rich papa?, do not mind me getting married like this? " ask alby hoping if his mother objected and he had reason to refuse.

"before coming here papa has told your mother in detail, and finally she also understood and agreed to your decision to marry you" bima's reply made alby silent as if he was thinking of another way to refuse.

"Alby, this is really your last request, try to love each other until he graduates from college, if you do not love each other then the decision will be in your hands" with a heavy heart, he said so.

"alright, I'm getting married but papa don't get in the way of my decision after she graduates" alby said at the end of the day, even though she didn't want to.

*oke, this is only temporary not forever* thought alby.

"thank you, you have agreed to it" said Bima who felt relieved.

* I'm sorry aryo, I can only get them married for a while, but at least there are us who will take care of your daughter after you're gone, and you can go calmly*inner bima, you know, he felt guilty but that was all he could do.

"later papa tell me again the details of the wedding preparations, papa asked to be nice to him later, because we're the only ones he has" Bima told alby.

"I'll try" replied alby, he was not angry or someone who likes to act rude, but alby also did not know what to behave later.
