"We broke up" said the man.
"My fault what Al" the woman replied.
"You're good Nika, but I haven't been able to move-on from that woman, I'm afraid you'll be hurt more if we continue this relationship" the man replied as he rubbed his tired face.
"I'll wait"
"Don't waste your time on a guy like me Nika"
"I don't care"
"But I care"
"That's a sign you love me Al"
"No, I can't continue this"
"You're really outrageous Al"
"I'm sorry Nika, instead you come back, I will take you to Jakarta" said the man.
"No need, I can go home alone without you"
"You came because of my request"
"And I'm very disappointed in your decision"
"I'm sorry "
"No need, and don't do this with another woman" Nika replied firmly even though her heart was deeply broken. he came from Jakarta to Surabaya to meet his lover but it turns out his arrival is the end of all the stories with him, yes he is Alvin Agustama.
The man who for three years accompanied Nika, filled the void of her heart. Distance separates but not the heart. But it was just my hope, in fact Alvin rarely contacted him, Nika who always contacted Alvin first, also took the initiative to come to see him in the city of Surabaya. But this may be the last time Nika comes to Surabaya. Maybe Nika is too pursuing her love, forcing her to always be there even though Nika knows in Alvin's heart there is another woman and who it is. Nika envied the woman who was able to make him stay there, no one was able to tease him including her.
What's the lack of Nika so that Alvin can't forget the married woman at all? Only Alvin knows how good that woman is.
Getir once his heart to have to compete with someone he never knew let alone meet. It's ridiculous to have to survive like a fool. Inner Nika continues to be turbulent with the reason Alvin who is not clear always called the woman whose name I never knew. Nika took a deep breath and then disappeared from before Alvin.
The Hospital
"Van, honey"Sarah who entered immediately tried to wake her husband, while Arsa was still trailing behind him in the company of Rico
"How's dr.devan doing?" sarah asked Devan across from Arvan's bed.
"We'd better talk in my room, Sarah"
"Is this bad news?"
"Better in my room alone" explained Devan who did not want to talk about his patients in front of a lot of people.
In the room of dr. Devan
"Maybe this is good or bad news depending on how you respond to Sarah" dr. Devan opened his voice in a lethargic tone.
"I mean how do doc"
"Did you remember when she collapsed in her office two years ago?"ask dr. Devan.
"Yes, I remember, what's wrong with that?"
"That was the first time I knew there was a disease lodged in Arvan's body"
"W-you mean?"
"Yes this is that old disease, end-stage brain tumor"
"Tu-tumors?"
"Right Sarah, I'm sorry I covered her from you, because this is Arvan's request"
"What else knows, or only I don't"
"Only me and Rico know, he's only been on road medicine all this time, he doesn't want surgery, because he doesn't want to die on the operating table"
"That doesn't make any sense at all, the doctor, two years ago, should have been treated, but the doctor kept it quiet.it.." Sarah could not say anything.
"I'm sorry Sarah, you better spend more time together, maybe Arvan won't last long"
"Arvan didn't let us do it"
" O Lord, what more is this trial "groaned Sarah with tears.
"I'm sorry Sarah, I shouldn't have followed her words" but Sarah didn't flinch at all, then left Arvan's room confused .
What should he do now? pretend not to know or what to do?"Sarah covered her face with both palms. From a distance Rico notices his boss's wife as well as his best friend's wife.
"I'm sorry Sarah, I should have told you back then, so that Arvan could be treated "the turbulent inner Rico felt guilty seeing the scene that was in front of him.
Slowly Sarah wiped her tears, fixed her makeup tidied up her tangled clothes and smiled. "yes I can, I better pretend I don't know so Arvan doesn't feel burdened " said Sarah then stepped towards Minimart in the hospital, carrying some mineral water and also favorite snacks Arsa.
"Honey, you're awake" Sarah cheerfully greeted with peace in her hand. Rico saw Sarah was surprised, how could she change so quickly, earlier he was crying sobbing at the end of the hall now has a cheerful smile.so great this woman" inner Rico.
"Arsa, nih mommy bring your favorite snacks" Sarah showed a white plastic typical Minimart in her hand. Arsa also ran to his mommy who was beside his daddy's bed.
"mommy, Arsa wants that one"
"Want an orange?" sarah asked, Arsa nodded.
Sarah peeled the orange and fed it to Arsa as well as to Arvan.
"I'm glad I'm not hungry"
"But I want to give this to you" replied Sarah lightly as usual.
"Have you met Devan?"
"Emm..had" answered Sarah calmly.
"What did he say?"
"Nothing, he said it was just exhaustion" Sarah replied with all her might as she held back her tears from falling. Arvan smiled relievedly hearing that from his wife.
"I go to the toilet first" Sarah hurriedly left because tears had already crept. Sarah tried not to sob there she lit the faucet loudly.
Five minutes, ten minutes Sarah hasn't been out of the bathroom.
Tok tok tok tok
"Sarah, honey why are you there so long, are you okay?
"Yes I'm fine honey, I'll be out for a while" cried Sarah from the inside, not to wait long Sarah had come out with a very sweet smile, she said, this smile that used to be proud of Dimas, it was a pity that Dimas was married to Siska, if not he might be betrothed to Dimas.inner Arvan.
"Honey, why? Arvan looked dreamy looking at sarah.
"The more days you're getting beautiful, baby"
"It's a dreadlocks" Sarah walks towards the bed, but stops as Arvan hugs her from behind.
"I love you "he whispered
"Me too" answered Sarah flatly.
"I really mean it "
"Hey you think I'm messing around" Sarah replied as she faced her husband's sad face
"we're going to be fine, okay" Sarah said, peeking at her husband's cheek and then approaching Arsa, who was eating oranges.
"Mommy for a long time" Rajuk Arsa told Sarah
"sorry dear, mommy has a stomachache" Sarah replied as she stroked her son's head.
