Salim's Pov

"Why did you come here, Dimas?"I'm upset that Dimas came all of a sudden.

"We're just visiting, Lim. There was no meaning whatsoever" said Dimas, giving a bouquet of flowers to my hand.

"Is the condition severe, Lim?"

"It's like that Dimas" I replied briefly.

"Can't we see him yet?" ask Dimas.

"We can only see it in the glass."

"Let us meet him, yes Lim," said Dimas, who was nodding Gayatri.

I drove them both to see Ave, even if it was just a glass barrier. Yesterday Ave started to wake up. For five days we were worried. Although, his condition is not stable but we are still grateful that Ave is conscious.

"When has Ave experienced this, Lim?" tanya Gayatri was curious.

"Since he was a child" I said slowly.

"It turns out that all this time he hid his pain from everyone" Gayatri said in a trembling voice.

"I'm sorry about me and Gayatri, Lim. All this time we've been bothering you and almost harming Ave when I brought her to my home" she asked sincerely.

"It's okay. Forget about that problem. We have forgiven you both" I replied with a hand shake.

"My father turned himself in to the police station for what he did seventeen years ago for the kidnapping of his older brother Ave. Will the Jayanatra family forgive my father?" Say Dimas by wiping his tears.

"Yesterday Eyang and Dad went to the police station. I'm sure your father's been forgiven."

"Thank you, Lim." Dimas hugged me tightly at the farewell sign.

"Me and Gayatri will leave Malang for a long time."

"Where are you going?" my many.

"Come Lim. Maybe we'll go to a city where no one knows us" Gayatri said.

"Please see yourself well. We'll welcome you with open arms."

"We'll say goodbye, Lim. Say our regards to Ave," he said, waving to Ave in the glass room.

That life goes on. Like a spinning wheel. Sometimes we are downstairs. Sometimes we are on top. That's what Dimas and his family have been through. Just because a petty crime from the past helped kidnap Madam Mustika makes Dimas' father end up in prison. Scorned and shunned by society due to his father's mistakes. His father used to be adored for being a police officer who was happy to help while now everyone considers him an enemy. Yes, that's what life is like. We will never be tomorrow.

"There's no other way to cure Ave, Rudi?" Brata asks for an explanation to Ave's personal friend and doctor.

"This is the only way, Brata. There's no other way." Dr. Rudi revealed everything.

Ambar who was still crying was pacified by Uti's eyes. Meanwhile, Yaya tried to toughen up who was sitting next to Jaka without much comment.

"His heart donor will come tomorrow. We have to operate on him immediately so that his life is not threatened, Brata."

"Will after receiving the donor my son recover?" ask Brata.

"Just like the first time Ave received a heart donor, his condition cannot be said to be fully recovered. We're just trying to extend his age."

With a very painful feeling Ambar tried not to cry. He knew God would help his son through this.

"Until when will Ave survive with his new heart, Rudi?" Brata took a long breath.

"Depends on Ave's body condition, Brata. If he can keep his life pattern most likely his heart will be well preserved."

"You said there was still a possibility? So does that mean my son doesn't have a chance of living longer?" Brata's anger seemed to be peaking.

"You know Brata yourself? Since Ambar gave birth to Ave 20 years ago. What have I told you? Ave's life depends only on the donor's heart" said Rudi's doctor was full of emphasis.

Unknowingly, Yaya's eyes shed tears. Jaka realized that. He immediately clasped the hand of Yaya's eyes giving strength.

"Yes Ambar. If that happens, his life will be threatened or both. The baby and Ave."

"Oh, my God, why is this happening to my son?" The sobs of Ambar were unstoppable again.

Enfolded Ambar's body in his arms. Brata tried to calm his wife who had started crying.

Behind the doctor's door. Salim heard everything. He held his hand to his chest. Crying without making a sound. It didn't matter to him not having a child of Ave origin continue to live and be by his side. With the road that leads Salim to the ICU room where his little miss is cared for.

Salim's Pov

"Do you know, Ve? Many of our friends have come here" I said to him who had fallen asleep there.

"I miss you, my Little Miss."

"Wake up from your sleep. Salim is here waiting for you, Miss."

Every word that came out of my mouth could not be heard. We are only limited by the glass space when we want to meet. Ave's body is susceptible to viruses or bacteria.

"What should Salim do, Dad?" I said when I realized my father's arrival was reflected in the glass.

"If you love him you'll know what you're gonna do, son," replied the father slowly.

"Salim doesn't want to lose him, Dad."

"We don't all want to lose Ave, son. Keep praying to Him. Asking for directions to open the way," said the father while out.

The glass that separates us. I could see his eyes open looking for something. When our eyes clashed with each other. He smiled and waved his hand at me. I repay.

He moved his hand into the air to write something. I watched carefully what he wrote in the air. I know who that writing is for. I repay.

"Salim loves Ave too."

Ave's Pov

I don't know when I'll be in this room. Only the closest people are allowed to visit me in this sterile room. I was bored, but I could do nothing but sleep.

Since the incident fell in the bathroom a long time ago. The chest on my left hurts a lot. Sometimes I can't breathe. Just a savior inhaeler when my breath suddenly tightened. I don't want to trouble anyone.

"Miss, you're awake" said Sister Marni.

I just blinked. For a while I could only blink to say what people were saying. There were a lot of infusion tubes in my body and of course in my nose so I could breathe.

"Miss, we bring good news. Tomorrow Miss will receive a new heart donor" said Sister Marni enthusiastically.

Whose heart will be in my body?

"Miss is definitely happy, isn't she?" Sister Marni rinsed my arm with warm water.

I blinked twice indicating that I didn't like this conversation.

"Why Miss? Miss doesn't agree." Sister Marni was a bit surprised.

I blinked once.

"Did Miss think if Miss took a donor heart from someone else then it was a mistake?"

I blinked once again.

"Miss just calm down. Miss didn't take anyone else's life just because Miss needed a new heart. The woman before she died already had a will. If she dies somehow then she will donate her important organs to others" Marni explained gently.

"Yes already. I lived first, yes. I will be here again" continued Sister Marni passed away.

Do I have to be happy because I have a new heart? Maybe so. Because I will have a long life. But there's one thing that makes me want to give up on this.

I will not be able to or will never be able to have children at my age.
