"Yoga is very sick."
Nara stared at Ardi to confirm her hearing.
A-What ...?!"
Ardi could only nod to answer Nara's doubts over her words.
"He has congenital heart disease."
Ardi was very careful in telling the story and delivered one by one so as not to shake the soul of Nara who is now quite fragile accept the previous reality, so as not to shake the soul of Nara, that Yoga was dying alone in the car after taking it off into the house last night.
Not only Nara, Father was equally surprised when he heard if it turned out that his daughter-in-law had been hiding a severe illness that he had suffered.
"But ... During this time he never got sick except just a few times the fatigue that soon healed back?"
Nara can even count it with the finger of one hand, how many times Yoga has ever been sick from fatigue alone.
"Because when the pain came, he always hid it from anyone. I myself only found out a few months ago, when he drove you to check the contents in the fifth month."
"At that time, he had just returned home after a month of going out of town. You know, why did he leave so long ago?" ask Ardi to start the story. Nara shook her head.
"He had major surgery, so that his heart could last longer while waiting for a suitable donor."
Nara cried again while covering her face. How indifferent he was to Yoga all this time, to the point that he could not know if Yoga covered something.
"He's gonna heal, isn't he?" Nara asked with fear. Afraid of Ardi's answers that don't match his expectations.
Sure enough, Ardi shook his head with a dim eye, making Nara immediately shed a cry for the umpteenth time.
"Doctor Danu and the team of doctors who handled it can no longer do anything." Ardi continued the story even though Nara continued to sob.
"The only way to save his life is to have a heart transplant. Unfortunately, until this moment we have not been able to get donors for Yoga."
"So ... Doctor mean, Yoga will ....?"
Without having to continue his question, Ardi had already nodded to answer Nara.
"Like what Doctor Danu just told me, the time is not long anymore and we don't know when his heart will beat for the last time ...."
Broken was already Nara's loudest and swiftest cry. He spilled it in the arms of the Father who had also shed tears.
Ardi was the same, his eyes that from the beginning glazed over, now had been streaming a cry without a sound.
Letting Nara continue to cry let go of her deepest sorrow, Ardi and Father just kept quiet and waited until the woman's cry began to subside and she calmed down.
"Actually, Yoga has twins."
Nara and Father stared in confusion. There are many realities that they hear today, about the life of a Yoga man.
"Twin??" ask Nara.
"Yes, they were born identical. Yoga and Yogi. However, because both of them have congenital heart defects since the womb, finally Yogi whose heart condition is more severe than Yoga, can only survive until he is almost one year old."
Apparently, there are many stories about Yoga that Nara does not know. Yoga has told me about her family and her childhood. Even Nara's past pictures see it.
But he never knew about the twin births of Yoga and about the Yogi that had passed away.
"Yoga was lucky, his heart was still able to survive in good condition and then underwent several operations gradually to recover it, until finally he was declared fully healed by Doctor Danu at the age of five."
"All I remember is that Yoga had her last surgery when we went to school in Kanak-Kanak Park. And after that, he's healed and can do normal activities like me and our other friends."
"But, Doc. Wasn't he declared cured as a child? So why now the condition actually becomes as severe and fatal as this?" ask Nara who still can't understand it.
"Yes, I did too. We spent our childhood through adulthood together. And I've never seen Yoga hurt again."
"He grew up to be a healthy and strong child, although his personality was a little closed and could only be close to a few friends. From the past until now, its basic nature has never changed either. Yoga is a loving family man."
Nara doesn't deny that. Since being married by Yoga, from the beginning of marriage until now has been born Raga their baby, Yoga has always shown the best affection and attention for him and their children.
"According to Doctor Danu, Yoga began to see him again about a year ago. And at that time, his condition was bad and he immediately stated that immediately Yoga must undergo a heart transplant surgery because his heart function is no longer stable and tends to decline over time."
Ardi looked at the Father and asked permission to talk alone with Nara, because there was a very personal story he wanted to tell Nara about the relationship between Yoga and his wife."
After making sure that Nara will be fine, you stand up and leave the two of them to talk about something that Ardi said is very personal, because Yoga did not actually want Nara to know.
"What else is Yoga hiding from me, Doc?" nara asked after she felt calmer and could ease her cries.
"I'm sorry if I was too sassy to talk about the very intimate realm of you two. But this I must say, so that you no longer misunderstand the bad deeds of Yoga to you first.
Nara's heart thumped as Ardi alluded to the terrible events that happened between Yoga and her past self.
Her face was reddened and misbehaved by having to talk about the dark event with another man who was not her husband.
Even with her husband she never talked about it, except at the beginning of their marriage which was still tinged with her hatred of Yoga and Yoga's harsh attitude towards her.
Nara chooses to keep her head down and be quiet, waiting for Ardi to start her story.
"Some time before that incident, Yoga had just accepted a reality it never suspected at all. Doctor Danu stated that his chance of life will not be long, unless they can do a heart transplant immediately."
Nara was still silent and listened to Ardi's story with a heart pounding and with a feeling full of fear. Fear of losing Yoga forever.
"Even though they and I have tried various ways and made requests throughout the hospital, even at home and abroad, we still haven't got the donor heart we were hoping for."
"The operation that Doctor Danu performed on Yoga was only temporary and could not guarantee the safety of his life at all."
"In the midst of eternal and her fear of her life that will not be long, Yoga thinks of something about you until finally, it happens .. sorry, the reckless act of Yoga to snatch your sanctity at that time ...."
Ardi looked at the unsettled Nara in silence. But she had to continue her story and tell Nara everything.
"I do not at all condone the act of Yoga upon you, but there is one compelling reason that Yoga has so that it does so to you, even though he realized it was a very big and unforgivable sin."
Slowly Nara's memory of the day began to recollect in her mind.
"Yoga did it because he wanted to ...."
