The door of the inpatient room opened, Jihan walked in to the bed where her father was lying. After exiting the IGD and moved to the hospital after ascertaining his condition is no longer critical.

Jihan sat on the chair next to her father's bed. The shriveled hand rubbed it slowly.

"Dad," she said. "Why not the previous story? Why did you hide it? Why didn't you tell us?" look at the body that is lying weak.

"It hurts me to see my father lying down like this, as if some part of my life was about to be snatched away, well," unknowingly tears had flooded Jihan's face.

"Jihan wants me to be okay, Jihan is not ready to lose her father" the usually smiling face looks swollen. Eyes even look squinty.

Jihan kissed the back of the father's hand while putting it on his face, then Jihan lay her head on the bed beside the father's bed. The fingers moved a little. Sometime after her, Jihan began to feel a swab of her hand touching her head.

Jihan raised her head, "Dad is up, Dad?" Jihan was happy to see her father regained consciousness.

He immediately called the doctor to check on his father. Jihan was still in the room waiting for the doctor to finish examining her father.

It was seen that Jihan's mother had entered the room, after the doctor said that the father's condition had improved considerably. Everyone is thankful.

"Hanim," said the father. "Let's go, come closer. There's something I want to talk about."

Jihan approached her father, "yes yeah, I'm here. Just talk, I'll listen."

"Before that, can you comply with my father's request? Maybe this is the last time, Nim."

Jihan couldn't hear her father say, "don't talk like that, yeah. I'm sure this won't be Dad's last request. Whatever it is I'll obey it well, I ask a lot of things to me. So that I can always make it happen."

Jihan tried to hold back the tears that were almost spilled, while the mother was still standing next to the husband's bed. Her eyes were glazed over when she saw her husband lying weak.

He looked at his wife, "Mom. I'm asking for help, can I get Arga's boy and his mama here."

Miss Diana nodded, "dad wait a minute, I'll call you."

After saying that Miss Diana immediately came out, while Jihan was still faithfully clasping tightly to her father's hand. As if not to release the hand link.

Arga and Bu Nur entered the room. Slowly Arga walked over to Mr. Ardi.

"What's up, om? I'm here" he asked.

"Son Arga, Hanim, I have something to say."

"Yes, talk. Slow down" said Arga.

Mr. Ardi tried to gather all the remaining energy. Now the ladder was moved to grab Arga's hand. One more hand was still holding Jihan's hand.

"If I ask you to do one thing for me, maybe one last time. Does Arga want to?"

Arga did not think much, immediately gave an answer that if it could calm Mr. Ardi. "God willing om. As long as I can do it." Answer with certainty.

"I'm glad to hear that" said Mr. Ardi. Now look at the princess. "Hanim, you know how much I love you, son. Dad always wanted to make you laugh, make you happy and feel safe," he paused.

"I'm sorry if I hid this truth to you guys because I don't want to make everyone worry.''

"Hanim knows well. Don't keep saying any more better rest yeah yeah."

Mr. Ardi smiled, "Dad hasn't told me the point just listen, Nim," stroked Jihan's face.

"Then get it over with and I'll take a break."

Mr. Ardi smiled, "After this, I'm afraid no one will be able to take care of you. So without further ado, son Arga what can take care of Jihan, I want to see son Arga marry my only daughter.'' Her speech weakly but her eyes glare pleading.

Everyone in the room was shocked.

"Dad talk what? Don't make it. Dad's not going anywhere. I'll look after Jihan until later."

Miss Diana could not hold back her tears anymore, this reality was very painful for her life.

"Hanim, I promised to obey you, son. Don't deny it."

Arga was still silent, his brain thought it should accept all of this or reject it. For the first time in his life, he had a hard time making the right decision.

"Dad's not going anywhere, Dad can still take care of Jihan Kok, Jihan sure,'' wiped her tears.

The family of Jihan and Arga is already close to know, the trust of the two families is intertwined by itself. Until only Arga is the only trust that can be relied upon, Mr. Ardi. Fear if he is no longer with his favorite daughter, Jihan will be wrong to take the path of life with a man who even Mr. Ardi does not know the ins and outs later.

And right now only Arga can really believe.

''Father please son, '' Mr. Ardi's eyes are very clear.

Jihan was upset by her father's request. Jihan so change silence.

''What about Miss Arga? This is not a difficult request.''

Those old eyes of mine were staring expectantly. Looking forward to a convincing answer. Arga looked at Jihan, Miss Diana and finally at her mom. As if asking for help finding the right decision.

Reassure your heart and answer according to your heart, son. Choose the right answer. Mama believed in all your decisions. That was the look of the eyes that were drawn from the gaze of the mother. Trying to convince his son.

The hopeful gaze of Mr. Ardi makes Arga not to the heart if giving an unpleasant answer. Moreover, the doctor has sentenced that the age of Mr. Ardi is not long, is the same if he is given the mandate to keep the princess only wayang after his death.

Finally Arga dared to make a decision and solidify his heart.

His mother looked proudly at Arga, for deciding the right thing. What's more, Mama Arga desperately wants Jihan to be her daughter-in-law.

Engraved a satisfied smile on Mr. Ardi's face, repeatedly saying thanks to Arga.

''Treat my daughter well and love her. I trust him to you.''

Mr. Ardi grabbed Jihan's fingers to be united with Arga. There was a sense of relief when his final request was approved.

Jihan who was silent without saying a word but her heart was still worried about this decision.

Some time passed, after the sudden news that Mr. Ardi wanted immediately so that the wedding of the princess as soon as possible. So that he can calm down before he leaves for good.

Since the marriage was sudden and also Jihan is still in school status, Mr. Ardi decided that the princess married siri first. The important thing is that he has really witnessed if the princess has been with his chosen person.

Coincidentally that day coincided with the return of papa Arga from work outside the city. The father had previously been informed of the sudden news. A positive response is obtained if the son marries the daughter of his best friend who even lives in the neighborhood.

Jihan's marriage took place after the arrival of Papa Arga, in order to be a witness to her marriage as well. The ijab kabul event was held in the room where the father was treated. And only attended by both parents and several nurses and doctors as witnesses.

Capitalize dowry in the form of gold jewelry weighing seven Grams and also a set of prayer equipment. A simple, closed and solemn marriage is officially spoken in the room.

Mr. Ardi was also happy to witness this sacred moment. The feeling of relief he felt when he managed to entrust the princess into the hands of the right person to take care of her.

Jihan looks beautiful with a simple white kebaya dressing, but does not cover her face. After the Kabul ijab, she and her new husband asked their parents for their blessing.

His father told him when Jihan hugged the weak body. "Son, you've become the wife of people. Be kind, follow your husband, and take care of your mother. Your mother does look a little harsh on you, but rest assured mom loves you more than anything in the world. So, I'll take care of you, son."

Jihan's tears continued to flow profusely soaking her beautiful face, mother approached Jihan and embraced the princess.

"Mom, after dad is not around. Find new happiness. Dad's no problem. Sorry if you can only accompany yourself to this age limit. It feels like your body is no longer holding it. I really feel pain, but I can feel calm in this pain. I'm sorry if all this time makes you unhappy with life accompanying me. You can find your happiness later.'dad smiled.

"You need to know, you're the only love of my life. Thank you so much for giving me happiness.," continued the father, kissing the back of his wife's hand.

"Dad talk what? don't say that, you never regret marrying your father. We promised to take care of our grandchildren together, right, then hold on, yeah."

"There are those who will help take care of him," look Mr. Ardi pointed to Arga's parents. "Can my wife and daughter smile for me? I want to see it."

It felt that Mr. Ardi's body was getting weaker, a feeling that seemed to be the last time he saw the faces of his son and wife, he felt signs of leaving them immediately.

In pain he is sincere if the Lord calls now, for he died in peace. Surrounded by loved ones.

Jihan and the mother smiled, but not covering up her sadness even that smile looked like the most painful smile.

Jihan continued to look at the father, kissing his forehead and palms.

"Son Arga, I take care of Jihan and her mother. Please love them."

Arga grabbed her father-in-law's hand, and kissed her. "God willing, I will take care of them with my love."

Mr. Ardi's body is getting weaker, the heart detector starts to show abnormal graphs.

"Toha," call dad to Papa Arga. "Your ma'am is fine, love her like your own daughter. I've kept the promise of our youth, to marry my daughter to your son."

"Ardi, what are you talking about. You'll be fine until we hold our grandchildren. Come on, don't talk like that." Said Mr. Toha. Rarely meet with his best friend, suddenly meet precisely in this state of pain.

But he also has a happy feeling because his best friend trusts the son to take care of his only daughter.

"My body feels very sick, but I am very grateful to see this beautiful moment. Now I can go quietly."

He smiled, and the smile seemed so calm and sweet. Maybe the last smile they'll see for the last time.

Jihan clutched her father's hand. Mom gave me a hug to strengthen Jihan.

The whole room looked bitter with the doctors and nurses who witnessed the sad incident also shed tears. When I see such great love from a father.

A few moments later, the heart detector of Mr. Ardi began to weaken. The graph drawn starts to show a flat line and slowly the land gets flat until it becomes a horizontal line. Indicates that no heart rate is detected again. Doctors immediately took emergency action before the heart rate actually stopped.

Jihan and the mother hugged each other, their tears could not be held back. Feelings of fear, fear, and fear of loss continue to run through their minds.

Until finally the absolute statement came out of the doctor's mouth. That stated that Mr. Ardi's heart rate really stopped.

The contact of the doctor made the whole room more hit. The limp started attacking Jihan's mother's body. Jihan felt the vibrations in her body

It was as if the world he was trying to wake up, was gone, shattered instantly. Forced to be taken from himself.

Jihan's body squeezed into the body of the father lying coldly on the bed. The face that usually always looks at him with space and full of laughter now looks pale flat and lifeless again.

God, you're taking my happiness so soon. I can't be sincere. What are my days without my father, what will I do in the future. Inner Jihan.

The whole room was filled with tears, mother Jihan to the point of sitting limp was unable to accept the reality of this pain. The age of marriage is very short he felt. The man she never loved, slowly over time the love grew and now the man left her for good.

Their hearts are broken, the world is cruel. Sometimes it takes forcibly the things that make us happy, calling people we care about. But believe me if God's plan is much better. We don't know, but God knows. Surrender yourself and try to deal with it with sincerity.

Because when you are sincere about what happens, that is where God has planned happiness for you.
