"Please forgive me, Al. I accidentally said it again. I didn't mean to push you let alone force you."
Rendy took a piece of tissue that was available in her car, then gave it to Alya who was still wiping tears with her fingers.
Without a word, Alya received the tissue and immediately used it to clean the clear liquid that was still inundating the fertilizer.
"I'm sorry, Al."
Alya was thinking about something but was still unsure whether she was capable of it or not.
He did not want to constantly disappoint Rendy, but he was also unsure if he could do the opposite, which was to make the man happy.
"Mir ...."
"Yes, Al? What's up?"
Alya again fell silent in doubt that was still shackling.
"Tell me." Rendy begins to wait for what will be delivered by the woman she loves.
Alya closed her eyes for a moment, trying to calm her heart as well as convince her decision.
"If I wanted to give our relationship a chance, would you be disappointed and hurt if I couldn't open my heart to you?"
Rendy widened her gaze, not believing what Alya had just said.
"I really want to make you happy, but I'm afraid I can't do it and in the end it'll only disappoint you again. Don't need me to explain why, you must already know what my reason is, Ren."
"That guy. I know, you still love her without changing that feeling one bit. Your love is sincere and whole only for that man."
Rendy tries to calm her feelings. Will a relationship based solely on one-sided love lead to happiness?
Or will he eventually accept the harsh reality again as before? Like the love of his ex-wife who ended up disappointed because the wife loved and chose another man rather than her?
It turns out that the bone doctor was still doubtful about his feelings. Not doubting his love for Alya, but doubting his heart's readiness to face the harsh reality he might re-accept in this new relationship.
"Why is it when you try to accept me that I hesitate to start?"
Rendy laments her weakness. The unpretentious man still holds a wound in the heart for the failure of his marriage in the past.
"I'm afraid I'll feel disappointment again if one day you'll return to your first love, just like my ex-wife did."
Alya did not continue his words anymore. Rendy's silence has given the answer to both, that they do not need to force the relationship, if the end will only end up hurting each other and being hurt.
"I don't think we should talk about this anymore, Ren. We just have a friendship like always, which has been very well established and quite close between me and you."
"There is no need for us to force ourselves to establish a relationship that we cannot yet fully believe in in the heart. It's better to stay friends with comfort, than to choose together just to repeat disappointment."

In the online taxi they were riding to Yoga office, Bunga was more silent as if he was thinking about something.
"What's up, honey? Are you tired?"
Ardi put the head of the flower on his shoulder and rubbed it with love. The wife immediately shook her head while comforting her fall.
"I'm okay, Mom. Just suddenly recalled Aura there." The meek nurse smiled at her husband's face, then returned to her on Ardi's shoulder.
Unconcerned by the young taxi driver watching them silently, Ardi kissed his wife's head lovingly and then tightened his arms.
The flower closed its eyes and calmed its agitated mind. There was still a big question mark on his mind that needed a definitive answer so that he could steady his heart.
"May I take no wrong steps in my decision. I'm sure everything will be happy in time."
The taxi stopped in front of the main door of the Yoga office which is now led by Nara. Ardi and Bunga immediately went down and entered the building hand in hand.
When they meet Beno downstairs, they are then escorted up to the Yoga room now used by Nara.
Beno knocked on the door and asked for permission to enter. After getting an inside answer, the Yoga assistant opened the door and let the couple enter.
"Mister Nara!" Flowers first greeted Nara who looked surprised by the arrival of the two.
Immediately leaving her job and standing up, Nara greeted Ardi and Bunga warmly. The two sisters embraced and kissed on the right and left cheeks.
"Why not tell me before? If I knew, I could ask Mr. Budi to pick you up and Doctor Ardi at the airport."
Women dressed in simple work but looks authoritative, let them sit down and contact the pantry and ask to be delivered drinks and cakes to entertain their special guests.
"I went to the hospital, Ra. I went to the doctor and talked a lot about Yoga."
For a while Ardi told about his conversation with the doctor, except about the small response that was shown by Yoga on yesterday.
"Thank you for the great attention of the Doctor to Mas Yoga. I'm sorry if we bother you both so much and have to come back and forth."
Nara was grateful that her husband had a best friend as good and sincere as Ardi. Even the two of them had been like brothers and family since growing up together since they were little.
"When I can, I want to stay here and take care of him, Ra. But unfortunately, I can only visit him once in a while." Ardi replied in a calm and carefree manner.
Nara nodded and understood their respective busyness. With the attention that Ardi and his wife have given him so far, he has been very grateful and feels much indebted.
He feels very lucky because there are so many people who love his family and are always there at every time they experience difficulties and difficulties like now.
"Look, Mas. Many people have been looking for you and missed you. Everyone loves you and worries about you. They're all waiting for you to come back, just like me."
Nara continued to comment on the happy smile among the sadness that was still lodged in her heart, as long as her beloved husband was not yet conscious and recovered as she hoped.
"Hurry back, Mom. Come home to see me and be with our family. I will never tire of waiting for you, for I am always sure and believe that soon you will open your eyes and look back at me with a loving look."
