That morning, six months ago ....
Aunty Arum has dressed up neatly and beautifully with her cloths of danger, to attend the graduation ceremony of her eldest son, Dicky. Dicky's two younger siblings, Rizka and Ricky, did not accompany their mother because they had exams at each school.
They and their family were forced to ask permission to Yoga because they could not come to meet the invitation for the one-year anniversary of his marriage with Nara. Yoga informed her and congratulated Dicky on her graduation.
"Your father must be proud, son. His eldest son had already become a scholar like he had hoped."
Aunt Arum rubbed Dicky's head with haru. She recalled her late husband, who died in an accident with Dicky, seven years ago.
"This is also thanks to the kindness of Mahendra's family, Ma. Especially Mas Yoga who still pay attention to our family, even though Om Surya and Aunt Ratna following Papa died."
Aunt Arum nodded. In his heart, every moment he was always grateful to have a good friend like Ratna, his mother Yoga who also married a philanthropist, Surya Mahendra.
"Anything I would do to repay the kindness of the Mas Yoga family. Even if my life could change their goodwill, I would definitely give it, Ma."
Aunty Arum's heart is racing. The words of the son made him remember the reality of the plagues he had heard accidentally some time ago.
At that time, they and their families came to the Yoga residence to attend the Aqiqah Raga event as well as welcome the return of Yoga from the hospital.
The event went smoothly and solemnly, until arriving at a time of hospitality and rest, Aunt Arum accidentally listened to the talks of two men of different generations, who were calling the name Yoga in their serious conversation.
"I'm getting more scared, Doc. Given the pain that Yoga still suffers, I fear that happiness will not last long they feel together." So said the younger man, who is none other than Ardi.
Curious about the topic of their talk about Yoga, Aunt Arum stopped her steps towards the kitchen and stood behind the end of the wall she could use to hide.
"It is very difficult to get a donor in this fast time, while our time is very limited and diminishes even in every second." The middle-aged man who was none other than Doctor Danu responded to Ardi's words.
Starting from there, Aunty Arum began to know about the history of the disease owned by Yoga and several times had almost claimed his life.
Since then, Aunt Arum has been secretly seeking information about the health condition of Yoga from time to time.
Because persistent to find out with the reason to want to help Yoga find a heart donor for him, finally Aunt Arum can meet Doctor Danu and convey his desire.
But in reality, it is difficult to find an independent heart donor in a time limited by the life expectancy of Yoga is dwindling.
"Ma, let's go now. Don't be late in the building."
Dicky's voice breaks Aunt Arum's daydream about poor Yoga. He nodded and followed the son out of the house and locked the door, before getting into the car that Dicky was driving himself in.
The graduation procession went smoothly according to the planned series of events. Rizka and Ricky surprise her brother with their presence after the show, after they return home from school.
After doing several family photoshoots in his proud toga shirt, Dicky began to feel his headaches recur and make him very sick.
"Ma ... My head, Ma!" Dicky held the back of his head and called Aunt Arum who was talking to some of his acquaintances who also attended their son's graduation.
As soon as Aunt Arum turned her head, Dicky was unconscious in the lap of his two younger siblings.
"Huge ...!! Rizka, Ricky, we're going to the hospital now!"
With the help of Dicky's friends, they finally reach the hospital and Dicky immediately gets emergency help from the doctor who handled his illness from the beginning.
When he had an accident with his father seven years ago, Dicky who was severely injured in his head immediately operated and after that had to do regular therapy for the recovery of his brain condition that experienced sustained trauma.
And finally, the worst day came. Doctors declared Dicky's condition collapsed and critical. Blood vessels in the brain have been damaged so that it inhibits oxygen intake to the brain and causes some parts of his brain cells to die.
Aunty Arum feels she will lose her eldest son, following her beloved father. And as it had been their fate to meet, when Aunt Arum came out of the doctor's room, she saw Nara who was accompanied by several people around her continued to cry calling her husband's name.
Instantly the middle-aged woman remembered about the history of Yoga disease. Without wasting any more time, he went back to see the doctor who handled Dicky to coordinate with Doctor Danu, to check the possibility of Dicky to donate his heart, if the eldest son died before Yoga.
While the doctors examined the two critical patients, Aunt Arum went to the musholla and found that Nara had been there first.
When he approached and patted her on the shoulder, Nara immediately scattered and cried in her arms, not knowing that she was feeling the same way as Nara.
She tries to calm Nara down while herself prepares herself for the worst possible eventuality that will happen to Dicky.
Shortly after, they return to the Yoga treatment room while Aunt Arum has not told her about Dicky's condition to Nara, quietly passed to go to his son's room and ask about the results of the examination that had been done.
Upon receiving the news that the results of the examination were both suitable and Dickh could be a donor to Yoha, without thinking again Aunty Arum immediately signed a statement of approval of the action, if Dicky had been declared dead.
Along with the completion of the administrative approval made by Aunt Arum, a nurse called the doctor to return to Dicky's room as the patient's condition became increasingly critical.
Dicky died shortly after Aunt Nara was allowed to meet her son and speak for the last time. He also told about the condition of Yoga and the results of the examination of them both.
"I'm sincere, Ma .... I am happy to give my heart to Mas Yoga. Let's just say this is a small part of our family's return to him ...."
"Thank you, son. You will always be the pride of your mother forever." Aunt Arum kissed her son's forehead and tried to keep smiling to let go of his eldest son.
Dicky breathed his last quietly after learning that his heart could still be beneficial to others and that the person was none other than Yoga, the helper for their family all along.
A few minutes after that, the condition of Yoga also experienced a decrease in consciousness and increasingly critical, after talking and saying goodbye to his beloved wife.
Nara was asked to leave without being told that there was a suitable donor for her husband. Doctor Danu prioritizes the speed of handling on Yoga first and let Nara pass with a sense of loss.
That's life. Not always beautiful, but not always bad. Not always in accordance with our expectations, but not infrequently must contradict the wishes in the heart.
Some come, some go. There is birth, there is death. Just like Dicky's destiny and Yoga. When Dicky is gone for good, Yoga finally returns with his new life.
