With trembling hands, chest ache, after lying in prayer, Rival finally signed all the files of his divorce petition to Rili. Tears fell right over the file.
After a night of contemplation, ask God for guidance. He finally divorced Riley. May Rili's wife who is so loved will be happy with Yasir. Two people asked him to let go of Rili. Yasir and Pak Ali.
The nurse had finished cleaning Rival's body and also fed him. The nurse has also trained Rival to move the legs, hips and back and train balance when standing. The nurse asked for permission to leave for a while.
After that, nurse Pak Ali went into Rival's room. Mr. Ali just smiled and took the file on the table and left the room. But, his steps were arrested Rival.
“Daddy, why not check the file first?” said Rival by looking at the body of the old man who was behind him.
“Dad knows, you must have signed it. You wanted to take it off all along, right? But, your ego's taste is still high.” Mr. Ali turned his body to face Rival.
“Not because egoku only Dad. But, because divorce is something halal but hated by Allah.” Rival said softly, He shed his tears again.
“A marriage that is not based on love, and your wife thinks of another man. Do you think your wife is not a wife of a sinner?” Mr. Ali finally walked towards the Rival who was staring at him. He hugged Rival. “It's the best son, trust me you will get more in exchange. How much you feel for your wife. You will feel loved by someone bigger. It is time to feel loved. Be patient and sincere.” Mr. Ali took off his embrace. Ali left the room. Rival took a deep breath. A sign that he has just done something big.

Three months later
Rival who had walked without the aid now appears to be working out lightly, just stretching his hands, moving his head to the right and left, while breathing the morning air in the garden behind Mr. Ali's house. It only took four months, Rival could already be said to be recovering, but doing extreme movements was not allowed to be done yet.
Without Rival knowing, there is a pair of eyes that always keep an eye on his activities, namely Mely.
For the past three months, Mely has been afraid to communicate with Rival since Rival kicked her out of the room. He never went to Rival's room again or teased Rival. She turned into a mature woman and kept a lot of silence. He changed like that, because of Mr. Ali's advice.
The Flash Back On
“Do you really like it Nak?” asked Mr. Ali in his daughter's room, when his mother persuaded him to shut up. Because Rival who kicked her out of the room made her hurt. Mely and her mother sat hugging on the side of the bed.
“Iya Father.” Mely replied still in her mother's arms.
“Abang Rival is a good guy, sholeh. If you want to make a fool out of it. You have to fix yourself, baby. Change your morals, do Allah's commandments and stay away from his prohibitions. If you've turned out well, I'm sure Brother Rival must have glanced at you too. Surely I will help you later with Mama.” Ali convinced his daughter.
“But, I see in this life, not so Dad. There was my college friend, his son was very good and patient. But her husband was a drunk and a cheat.” Mely said, He does not agree one hundred percent with the theory that his father said.
“Why are there still couples whose one is bad behavior while the other is always obedient to God? It could be that God gave the couple a test and made the bad good. Because if you patiently receive it, God will give something good that was never imagined.” Said Mr. Ali, giving understanding to his daughter. She sat next to Mely, stroking Mely's back, which was still embraced by her mother.
“Kan could have been like that father, brother rival good and I'm not good. And Brother Rival led me to be even better.”
“Abang Rival has led you to be better. He has taught you to pray and teach you.” Timpal his mother and take off his embrace.
“Have Mama been sleepy, Let's Dad out. Remember, if you want Abang Rival to glance at you change.” Said his mother and pulled Mr. Ali's arm to get out of Mely's room.
The Flash Back Of
🌻🌻🌻
Seeing Mely choking, Rival who was sitting next to Mely immediately pushed water. Mely directly grabbed him gulp it down. Rival smiled too.
Now the Rival-powered car is splitting the city road into the Mely campus. The atmosphere in the car is silent mode. Because both are silent a thousand languages. Mely who is afraid of misbehavior, which will make Rival ilfeel refrain from acting as a woman who has a good attitude.
Rival glanced at Mely who was looking out the car window.
“Dek, Adek campus brother has not yet paved the way. This turn or straight?” asked Rival gently.
“Still straight, later can junction three new turn.” Mely said and did not look towards Rival.
“What is Adek still angry with Brother, because of the incident three months ago?” asked Rival with concentration still driving though sometimes He glanced at Mely who did not want to look at him.
“Mely surprised to hear Rival say. Since that incident, they have never been in communication. Although sometimes Mely often steals a glance towards Rival when Rival is practicing walking with a nurse or when Rival is sitting alone or practicing walking alone in the park using a buffer device.
“Dek, if anyone talks to you, don't waste your face. Be polite, look at the person you're talking to.” Rival said flatly, He also actually felt guilty towards Mely. He who was thinking a lot, suddenly Mely came with his mischievous behavior that made Rival more dizzy at that time.
“I am indeed a disrespectful woman, a bad woman. So I don't deserve to be loved.” Said Mely with teary eyes staring at Rival. Rival glanced at it and then concentrated on driving.
“What's wrong to say again?” Say Rival softly. He finally parked his car in a safe place. Because he saw Mely crying.
“Maafin Brother huh?” Rival gently stroked Mely's head. The head that was stroked had no response. So Rival holds both shoulders Mely twisting Mely's body to face him.
Mely moved her gaze away, She was ashamed of crying in front of Rival.
“Why won't you look at your brother? It's been three months since you fired with Abang.”
“It's not what you want?”
“Abang does not like to fire or be hostile. Since that incident, you also feel guilty. I wanted to apologize, but you never saw me. Brother also after being able to walk with the help of a cane always join dinner in the dining room but Adek did not eat. Forgive Brother yes.!” Rival said and clenched his hands. But Mely still turned her face away.
Seeing Mely's attitude as if hating her. Rival summarizes Mely's face. “Why don't you wanna see Brother? Brother is sorry!” Rival said and now lowered his hand after Mely looked towards him.
Mely was still silent, She stared fixedly at Rival's face. The face he had not seen for three months at close range, even though they were one house. He looked at Rival with eyes that held a myriad of longings. While Rival who was stared at with that deadly gaze, finally wanted to divert his pandagan. But Rival lost fast. Mely immediately summarized Rival's face and kissed him.
He couldn't help but miss that burning. Mely's treatment made both of Rival's eyeballs fully rounded, with the heartbeat accelerating.
