Maze of Grief
After the death of Malik Ibrahim
The funeral home has now been deserted from mourners. Ghea and Haris arrive after Malik's body is buried. Bina was sitting limp in the living room of her house. Ghea brought Bina into his arms. He hugged the friend tightly, trying to strengthen each other.
Malik's departure for good was so sudden for everyone who knew him. No exception for a Ghea Paramitha, his common sense still can not accept that the former forbidden love has breathed his last.
"I'm sorry Bina, I came late. You have to be strong, Bin...." Ghea said to Bina while crying.
Bina could only nod in Ghea's warm embrace.
After feeling the condition of Bina has begun to stabilize Ghea also released his embrace while wiping the tears of Bina who wet her cheeks.
Then Bina began to tell the chronology of the accident that befell Malik.
"Mother....." Mina came to Bina, Ghea and Haris. Ghea was shocked by Mina's arrival.
"Mother?" Say Ghea with a crinkled forehead.
"This is your son, Bin?" As if understanding the wife's way of thinking, Haris also precedes Ghea to ask.
"Yes Ghea, Mas Haris is my son Rizky Mina Ibrahim. My son and Mas Malik" Bina explained while rubbing the princess' back.
"His face is Mas Malik, Bin" said Ghea with his own eyes. Seeing Mina was like seeing Malik in another form.
"Ghea...." Tweezers Bina.
"Yes Bin...."
"I want to talk to you about Ghema" Again Ghea was surprised after the name of the adopted child escaped from the mouth of the friend.
"You can't misunderstand Bina. Ghema it---"
"I know about Ghema. I know who he is for you and Mas Malik. Why do you and he love her so much. I know Ghea" Bina hurriedly interrupted Ghea's words.
"Did you mind if after this I adopted him legally?" Ask Bina expectantly. To whom else did he ask permission to adopt Ghema after Malik's death for good? The answer is to Ghea.
"Adopting Ghema?" Rework Ghea.
"Yes, I promise to love her as much as I love Mina. I will not distinguish between Mina and Ghema" Bina said.
Ghea clutched her best friend tightly again, her tears spilling over her cheeks. He did not expect that Bina would be this sincere in loving Ghema.
"Thank you Bina you are sincerely affectionate with Ghema. Keep the Ghema for Mas Malik" Ghea said with shoulders rising and falling in rhythm with his sobbing.
"Yes, that's my promise Ghea."
"On the adoption letter of Ghema I will tell Mas Arham to take care of it" Bina said after releasing his embrace with Ghea.
"Arham...?" Ask Haris.
"Yes Mas, he's my confidant in the office" Explanation Bina made a relief for Haris and Ghea. They had thought that Arham meant Bina was a strong candidate for Malik's replacement later.
"Binu... Then we say yes" Ghea said after glancing at the clock on her wrist.
"Yes Ghea you be careful, yeah."
"Bina you must be strong. Now you are a source of strength for Mina and Ghema. We promise we will always be there for you" Haris said with a genuine smile. And accompanied by a nod by Ghea.

It was exactly a week that Malik left his loved ones.
As before, Bina will faithfully stare at the photo with Malik before the owner leaves
facing Him.
"Mas now my days feel heavier" Skeleton Bina as she stared at the photo nanar in her grasp.
"Thank you for loving me until you take your last breath."
"I miss you so much."
"It's been a week since you left, but this broken feeling still clearly leaves a wound for me and Mina."
Bina got up from her seat, grabbed her bag like she was looking for something.
Bina took out a piece of paper, grasping the paper tightly. The paper contained Malik's self-proposal proposal back.
The proposal that Bina received with great happiness. But then again, everything went so short.
"Now all that's left is my body wrapped in the wound of your loss. Why did fate so easily take you away from me?" Bina returned to fussing while stroking a photo of Malik.

Papa Hadi now asks Bina and Mina specifically to stay in the house that Malik has prepared for his two dearest women Sabrina Magfirah and Rizky Mina Ibrahim.
At first Abi Afnan refused Papa Hadi's request but after hearing the persuasion spoken by Bina Abi Afnan also agreed.
"Pig... Uh..." Call Bina very slowly to her two papas.
Abi Afnan and Papa Hadi lowered their heads together and looked at Bina.
"I'm planning to adopt Ghema" Great-grandson Bina.
"Are you sure you want to adopt her? Mas Malik and Mbak Ghea are not sure as sure as Mbak" said Aldita who also gathered together in the family room.
"God I believe I promise to be just and will not distinguish between Mina or Ghema" Bina replied with confidence.
"Papa and Mama agree" Papa Hadi said.
"Abi and Ummi are also up to you to build" said Abi Afnan.
"Again what the hell?" Tanya Dimas and the new Sari come with Mina who is in Dimas' sling.
"I want to adopt Ghema Mas" Bina said as she grabbed Mina from Dimas' sling.
"HUH?" Dimas was shocked by the words of his sister. Thank goodness Mina has been in the arms of the Mother if not possible Mina will be separated from her sling.
"Is something wrong, huh?" Bina asked with a sharp look at Dimas. Bina knew that Dimas would not make the Ghema adoption process as smooth as the toll road.
"She is a child who is not clear about the origin of Bina, and you want to adopt her immediately" said Dimas with anger.
"He could be an illegitimate child."
PLAQUES
"Silence you Mas. We can not choose who will be born as a child and what our status will be. If only that could be sure we would choose to be born into a lucky child with a bergelimang treasure."
"And just so you know Ghema is not an illegitimate child. But the actions of his parents are haram" Bina's fiery explanation makes Dimas mute.
"I will continue to adopt Ghema in the absence of permission from you Mas."
Bina grabbed her phone on the table and made a phone call with her confidant.
"Assalamu alaikum Mas Arham" Bina's remarks mentioning Arham's name made Dimas and Sari stiffen.
"......"
"I'd like to ask you a favor. I would like to adopt one of the children in the Orphanage of Eternal Charity on behalf of Lestari Ghema Ibrahim. Can you prepare the letter?"
"......"
"OK Mas I wait for the next news well" Bina disconnected her phone and invited Mina to rest in her room.
