Love (Not) Owned

Marital Accad

My relationship with Malik has since gone well, little by little the news is always sent through short messages.

I'm still putting off telling my good relationship with Malik to my family. Malik still hasn't told me when he's going to see my parents. In addition, lately Abah who suddenly fell ill for me panicked and increasingly buy time for the news to reach them.

Malik who knew Abah's condition also delayed to talk to him about serious things. Because he thinks Abah's return from the new Hospital will deliver his point.

Already want a week Abah inhabit the Hospital and of course Mother with his faithful accompany him.

I'm afraid Mother is also sick because she is tired of accompanying Abah also can not leave her alone.

Every morning I go back home to work and by night I will be at the Hospital, which is what I do this week.

I who had just arrived at the Nursing Room accidentally heard the doctor's words that Abah's disease actually can not be cured. His pain could strike at any time and take his life. Yes Abah has terminal brain cancer.

The doctor who came out of the hospital room was flocked with various questions.

Abah has just checked her pain for a year and it is not known to us especially to Mom. He felt alone and didn't want anyone to know about his pain.

Since the first examination, the doctor has advised to do chemotherapy but Abah refused and chose to take the drugs.

Abah has been hiding this for a year and we no one knows. Where he hid the drugs.

This morning I round out my resolve to find where Abah keeps the drugs. I went into Mom's room and searched every place but I found nothing there. Until finally my thirst took me to the kitchen to sip cold water in the refrigerator.

Somehow my hands swung over the refrigerator reaching for the small spot that was behind the vase.

"Gosh this is the cure, why I didn't realize this was here, well I'll save it first I'll ask the doctor who handled Abah" I monologue myself.

After I finished preparing, I decided to go to school as usual. After I got to the teacher's room my phone rang, Mom's name was on the screen. I just swiped to answer it.

"Son, are you in school ?"

"Have mom, just arrived, is there anything you want me to ask you to bring later ?"

"no boy, I'm just afraid to be alone here, Abah suddenly felt pain again and this is she just fell asleep because she just took the medicine"

"Mom's feeling is not good, son, I'm very afraid, I'm afraid of losing Abah, I can't bear it if she has to go first son"

The same mother's sobs as I felt when I heard them.

"That's strong ma'am, she must be healed, I must think well never think non-no"

"boy, just before Abah went to sleep he said that he wanted to get you married immediately, it was Abah's request that made Mother feel Abah would go son"

"Mom, calm down everything will be fine, soon brother will arrive there mom to accompany Mom, I will go home quickly today and go straight to the hospital"

"yes, you be careful on the road later, I'll wait son"

As long as teaching my thoughts to Abah continues. It was easy for Abah to live long until he could see me married to the man I had always loved and precisely we loved each other.

Abah is a man who always hides his tiredness. He will always show a face that is conciliatory and soothing.

At the hospital came my sister and their husband. And Abah was awake from his sleep when they arrived.

I get a call to go to the hospital quickly I drive my car there.

After I saw my brother outside and when I got to I told them to come in.

In my heart I had thought about why they were outside and I was told to go in like I was waiting for my arrival.

Once inside I saw Malik and his parents who were on the side of Abah's bed.

"Shophie"

"Yes Bah, it's Shofie here" it's hard to hold back these tears from falling in front of him.

"That you want to ask something the same thing you and Abah hope you are honest" he said looking at me softly and I nod in response.

"Do you have someone ready to be your husband?"

I looked at Mom and then turned to Malik who was also staring at me waiting for an answer.

"It's a bah"

"The man I've loved since then until now is Bah and Abah also must know who is"

"Alhamdulillah Abah is happy if you still hang out with the same person" "then do you still love Abah's son Malik ?"

"Yes, I still love her, and we've been in a relationship lately and me and my family have been wanting to apply for Shofie but haven't stopped working because of my job"

"Then marry you now"

Malik and I looked at each other for answers. Because this situation is afraid if refusing to Abah's request which I think is his last request then we agree to do Ijab Qobul at that time.

All the files were prepared as soon as possible and so we got married at that time in the Hospital witnessed by our parents my sister and the Doctor who handled Abah.

After the legal word of the witness then legitimately I am now Malik's wife. Something was missing in my chest but not my feelings but my fears. Afraid of my feelings being unrequited fearing our feelings hurting each other again.

Abah who directly married me incessantly commented on her smile as well as Mom.

Although this event was held suddenly but still Hidmat.

Malik who stretched out his hand I kissed him with reverence. I salami Malik's parents who are none other than my in-laws.

"Thank God it is finally after all these years with your complicated story finally united today, I hope you understand and complete each other" said Malik's mother.

"Mother is relieved that finally the last dream of Mother and Abah can be realized, may you be happy to marry someone who both loves, be a good wife, son" said my mother when hugging.

A few hours after the marriage contract Abah's health is declining which makes us all very panicked especially Mother.

The doctor who was inside meticulously examined Abah's health condition. We who waited outside anxiously waiting for the Doctor became more and more when the Doctor declared that Abah had died.
