" Sister Dena, can I talk to you about something?,
said Hasbi that night finished dinner together .
" Of course, talk".
Dena walked towards the sofa in front of the television followed by Hasbi.
" Sit here, what do you want to talk about?".
In his heart hope, do not let what will be discussed is the issue of marriage again.
" Sister..married".
It feels weak Dena's body heard the word married.
" Prove to me that sister Dena has no feelings for that man anymore".
" God..how is this, not her dispel feelings but instead sleep with the man".
" I can't rush to decide such a big thing" Dena said.
" Adrian is the right man for you brother, don't let him wait too long".
" Sister wants to see me happy, right?"ask Hasbi.
" Of course".
" I'd be very happy if I married the person I love, but before that happens I want Dena's sister to marry first".
Dena gulped, let out a long breath.
Still attached to his memory, Hasbi who was unable to marry just because of him.
And this time did he have the heart to let his sister cancel marriage again because of waiting for her who never married.
" Give me some time to think" Dena said.
" Okay, brother, make a decision immediately".
" I'm sorry if I was impressed to urge Brother Dena".
" It's all for the good of my brother".
*** That night Dena was back unable to sleep, she had downed some pills that should her cause drowsiness. But until this late he still could not close his eyes .
He must think fast, think mature to immediately make a decision.
" Come on, Dena, use your logic this time".
" Don't just rely on your heart".
All good bad and any risk to his decision has been considered mature .
There are only two choices.
The first choice he married Adrian, the man although not completely he loved but would definitely be a good husband for him. But there is a risk of that choice, not necessarily Adrian can accept if Dena turned out to be in the touch of another man. Because inevitably he had to be honest about that one thing, about virginity.
The second choice he married Mas Adam, the man he loved so deeply. He will definitely take good care of and take good care of Dena. But the risk he must be hated by many people because in the value of being the third person. Beluk of course also his family can accept Mas Adam to be her husband.
Long he thought, weighing again what became his decision.
Given the kindness of the two men, then assess the advantages and advantages of each.
That night, Dena fell asleep when she got the answer Hasbi was waiting for.
He was determined, this time he will not change his decision again .
*** Sunday morning
" Hasbi, accompany me on my morning walk around the yuk park".
" Hmm.prepare brother, Come on I'll get some sweat too".
In the park not far from their home, it is crowded with visitors every weekend like this for a little exercise.
Dena wiped away the sweat that ran down her temple, she downed the cold mineral water that she bought in the park .
There are many food vendors there, if only Dena did not suffer from chronic disease it must have bought snacks that many types of her .
They were sitting on a small bench in the park, Dena stomped her feet that felt sore.
" Hasbi, I was thinking mature last night",
Dena began to express her intentions.
" About your talk last night".
" I agree to get married soon".
Shut up for a moment, not yet continuing the sentence .
He took a deep breath, thinking fast once more before saying it.
" With Adrian".
Hasbi got the happy news that early, he patted her on the shoulder.
" I knew my brother would make the right decision".
" In fact Adrian had already expressed that desire to me, only I had not given him an answer".
" Today I will tell her that I am ready for marriage", although there is a forced tone in the speech but she no longer wants to look back which will only make her doubt.
" It may take a little time to get everything ready".
" I hope you're patient for the process" Dena said.
Hasbi nodded in relief, he didn't care how long the process took his older brother.
Most importantly for her, Kak Dena was already determined to marry Adrian.
" There's one more thing I want to tell you about Hasbi".
" And I'm asking you for help with that".
" I'll always be ready to help you Brother, say".
" I'm .. I..."
Think again before saying it.
" I want to wash my blood away from XX hospital".
Hasbi can understand what his brother feels, he knows such a request because he is actually still difficult to forget Mas Adam .
By not meeting the man again, it might help slowly land away.
" Okay, brother, if that's your decision"
" I'm going to take care of the files immediately to move my sister's schedule to another hospital".
" It's easy there's still an empty slot in that hospital".
" Thank you, Hasbi, I'm sorry that your sister always bothers you".
" And one more thing, please don't tell me why I moved the hospital to Mom and Dad".
" Just say that the facilities in the new hospital will be better than the current one".
Hasbi nodded, agreeing with her brother's thought.
*** As was the Sunday before her, Adrian always came to Dena's house in the afternoon.
Either just to talk at home or sometimes spend the weekend to walk together.
That afternoon they were just sitting in a small garden in the courtyard of Dena's house.
Adrian plays Dena's beautiful unraveling hair with her fingertips.
Gently gazing at the strong and steadfast woman before her.
" Ariel...."
" Yes, what's wrong?".
" I want to give you some good news".
" Good news, what is it?", Adrian looks sparkling his eyes impatiently hear Dena's answer.
" I've decided to agree to your request for us to get married".
" Dena are you serious? I didn't listen wrong?", Adrian wants Dena to repeat his words again.
" Yes, I'm serious"
" I want to marry you".
Adrian no longer wants to say what, it feels like this is the first true happiness he felt during a relationship with Dena.
" Thank you Dena, my sister will definitely be very happy to hear that".
" Adrian, do you know any preparations for marriage?".
Adrian laughed at the innocent question of his lover .
" Hahaha, I've never married Dena"
" But the most important thing is to prepare the heart to start the household".
" I hope my heart is ready until the day of the wedding" said Dena.
" Maybe the first thing we should do is propose Den, I'll bring my brother to see your parents".
" Later let us decide together the right time to get married".
" Ehhh.that even if your parents accepted my proposal, hehehe".
Dena muttered in her heart,
" Of course my parents accepted you, they really liked you Adrian".
" Maybe if mom was a girl, she would even make you her husband, hehehe", Dena laughed amusedly at her thought.
" Adrian, actually there are still two things stuck in my heart" Dena said quietly.
" What's more, Dena, didn't I say I love you and will accept whatever's inside of you" Adrian assured Dena.
" I know that, but I'm afraid your sister wouldn't have approved of you by me if she knew I wasn't a healthy woman".
" I'm afraid it will only trouble you, because my health condition can not be guessed how forward" .
Adrian clasped his lover's hand, squeezing her .
" Dena, you don't have to worry about that".
" I'll convince my sister that it's not an obstacle for me to marry you".
" Thank you Adrian, you want to accept this imperfect me".
" Den don't say that, in my eyes you're perfect".
" What else is it that holds your heart?".
" So you said there were two things".
Dena turned anxious, she couldn't possibly say that now.
One more thing stuck in his heart, the thing that if he conveyed would disappoint the man.
He may even cancel plans to get married.
One day he will say it, but not for now.
He was not ready to tell Adrian that he was no longer a virgin, as Adrian thought.
" It's Adrian, you don't need to hear it now" .
" You'll find out later, and I hope when you know you'll never leave me".
Adrian nodded, not thinking that this one thing would be very important to him .
" I promise Dena, whatever you say about your fears, your worries, everything I can accept".
The evening sky recorded the words of Adrian at that time, he had to hold his speech as a man who kept his promise.
