"I'm sorry, from the results of the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) examination, there is a mismatch of tissue types in your blood with patients. The examination cannot continue. Because if the transfalation is done without a match, then the patient's body will reject and consider it as a foreign object so that it will happen something that is not desirable." explained the middle-aged doctor.
Erlang just sat limp in his position when he heard the explanation from the doctor in front of him. His hope was completely wiped out now.
"I have to how Doc?" erlang asked in frustration, he ruffled his hair while rubbing his face rough.
The doctor felt sorry, he had never seen such a great sacrifice. I don't know what makes it like this, which is certain now the doctor wants to help Erlang as much as possible.
"Later I will help ask some doctors my acquaintances if there are people who want to donate his kidney" said the doctor who felt sorry when he saw Erlang.
"You're serious Doc?" erlang said as he approached and stared fixedly at the middle-aged man in front of him. Implied a hope from Erlang's eyes.
"Yes, I will help you as much as I can." the doctor said, ending with a smile.
"Thank you Doc." said Erlang sincerely and replied to a soft nod by the doctor.
Erlang stepped out of the doctor's room. Although there was a little relief from getting help, but still his mind was messed up. Not a single bit of his mind was distracted from Elena.
Erlang continued to walk straight while daydreaming, not caring about the people around him. Only a ring from his cellphone made him realize and immediately took the object from his pocket.
Plastered the name Wedding Organizer on the screen of his phone. A sigh proves that he is lazy to accept the call, whereas previously he was very excited about his marriage. But now there was nothing that interested him other than the good news about Elena. Yeah, that's all he wants to hear right now.
Lazily, Erlang shifted the green button and put his phone to the right earlobe.
Hallo said lazily when the call is connected.
Is this true with Mr Erlangga? ask a woman across the street.
It's true of myself.
Well, sir, we want to ask you about the message you sent last night?
Erlang recalled the time he sent a message to WO last night to postpone the wedding procession.
Yes, why? answer Erlang with a ketus.
Do you really want to postpone the wedding? ask the woman again
Yes, Erlang replied with a sniffle.
Oh so yes sir, we just make sure if the message is really from the Father.
It was from me.
Well then I close the phone Pa said the woman. He did not dare to ask why the marriage was postponed because he believed there must be something bad that happened.

"Om." said Erlang when he saw Theo who had returned to buy food. He approached the man who was staring at his daughter.
"Do you think you're home?" Theo turned his gaze towards Erlang. He saw the face of his daughter-in-law who looked glum.
"What's up, son?" ask Theo.
Erlang got closer and immediately took Theo's hand. He put his head on the back of Theo's hand.
"What's the matter, son, why are you like this?" Theo tried to raise Erlang's head. Erlang's eyes began to drift. Theo was sure there must be something bad and it must have concerned Elena.
Erlang nodded, "I can't donate my kidney Om, because there is a tissue incompatibility between me and Elena." Erlang explained with a disappointed look.
Theo simply responded by commenting on a smile. He patted Erlang's back.
"Om has given Om's trust to look for a kidney for Elena" said Theo trying to calm down Erlang's feelings a little. From the beginning Theo did not agree with Erlang's decision to donate his kidney.
"But I'm afraid we're running out of time and Elena's condition is getting worse Om." Drawing worry on Erlang's handsome face. He really couldn't afford to lose Elena.
Theo turned his gaze towards Elena who was still lying stiff on her bed.
"We can't fight what's been outlined by him." Theo tried to hold back his tears. Because if he cried, surely Erlang would again feel guilty and again blame himself.
"I'll do anything for Elena Om." Erlang said confidently, making Theo quickly look at her.
"Don't do it if it makes you hurt, son." Theo. He didn't want Erlang to hurt himself just to save Elena.
"Because even Elena would not want to see you hurt by it." continued Theo again.
Erlang was stunned after hearing Theo's words. He momentarily digested the words from the father who had given birth to Elena, then nodded after he understood.
Theo walked over to the table and picked up some of the food he had bought and moved closer to Erlang. He thrust the food pack towards Erlang.
"Eat." he said after seeing the puzzled expression from Erlang's face.
"I'm not hungry Om." said Erlang, shaking his head.
"If you're not hungry, at least fill your stomach. If you are sick. Who's gonna help Om look after Elena, do you want Elena Om to match up with a friend's son Om." Theo was about to turn around and go back to pick up a few packs of food that Erlang had refused.
"Don't Om, how can Om talk like that!"
"It could be." Theo said casually.
"I'm hungry Om." said Erlang while taking a few packs of food that he had refused. He walked towards the table in the room.
Theo only chuckled at the attitude of his future son-in-law. Actually it was just his ruse, how could he think of matchmaking Elena.
Erlang also devoured the food he had placed on the table while throwing his mind about Elena who wanted to be betrothed.

It has been 2 days since Erlang returned to the hospital. Because there is an important business, he was forced to give up his time a little divided in visiting Elena.
This afternoon Erlang was somewhere observing something that had already 2 days had also caught his attention.
Hello what's up, Om? erlang said after picking up a call from Theo.
There's something Om wants to say.
What Om? I don't want to hear if it's bad news, I just want to hear good news.
Relax, son, this is a good friend, Om has got a donor for Elena.
Is that really Om?
Yes, Nak
I'm going to the hospital now, Om
Good Son
With a feeling of pleasure, Erlang drove his car towards the hospital and temporarily let the business that had made him angry earlier.
