“Alhamdulillah,” said Harum after finishing feeding Nata and his wife spent more than half of the food.
“Drink, Brother.” Harum gave Nata a drink and helped him drink.
“Thank you, Rum.”
“Sama-sama, Brother.”
Not long after, a nurse came to see Nata.
“Bu Nata has eaten?” ask the female nurse who is a bit fat.
“Already, Sus. Thank God he ate a lot.” It was so good to answer the nurse's question.
“Later around one o'clock, Bu Nata get ready huh. The doctor will conduct a series of treatment therapies to Bu Nata.”
“What treatment, Sus?” ask Nata lirih.
“Maybe radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy. Later let the doctor more clearly explain the treatment therapy that will be done to Bu Nata. The action taken by the doctor also depends on the current condition of Bu Nata. Previously the doctor will do a series of checks first against Bu Nata.”
Nata nodded his head at the young nurse's words.
“Good, Mom. I just want to say that.”
“Thank you, Sus.”
“Sama-sama.”
“Then Kak Nata prayed Zuhur now only yes. Now it's half an hour,” said Harum after the nurse died. Nata agreed.
Harum leads Nata to roost using a medium of dust from the wall. After that Nata performed the prayer with guidance by Harum. As usual, Harum guided Nata to remembrance and prayer after prayer.
“Rum,” call Nata lirih after prayer and prayer.
“Iya, Brother.”
“Although I have never prayed before, I always pray that I may meet you before I die. I don't want to die before I meet you and get your forgiveness" said Nata Lirih.
Smelling biting lips held tightness in the chest. His soul also shook bitterly at the thought of how Nata faced the shadow of death that was in sight.
“And now God has granted my prayers. I was happy and relieved to meet you and thought it would be quieter to meet the day of my death. I thought, there are you who will accompany Hangga after I die. But it turns out, you're actually going to marry doctor Yuda.
I don't know what I felt first, happy or sad when I heard the news. I feel happy and sad at the same time. Glad to see you'll be living happily with doctor Yuda. You're a good man, Rum. And you deserve a partner as good as the doctor Yuda. I'm glad to hear that news.
But on the other side of my heart, I feel sad because it means that Hangga will be alone after I die,” Nata said with a calm intonation. Perhaps Nata's supply of tears had dried up, until no feathers had soaked his cheeks. In contrast to Nata, Harum actually divorced tears to hear the words of his ex-wife.
“The mango is a good man, Rum. When I see the love in the eyes of Hangga for you, I know that the love of Hangga for me does not exist. But, he stayed and kept me. If other men may they will throw away their old love when they have found a new love. But, Hanges is not so. Even to this day he wants to take care of me, sacrificing his life and work for my sake. Hangga still loves me, even though she doesn't love me. That mango loves you, Rum. His love does not change, still the same as when he first found love over you.”
Harum shook his head in disagreement. “No, Brother. Mas Hangga is in love with Kak Nata. So Kak Nata must recover so that he can be together again with Mas Hangga,” he said sobbing.
Nata smiled in response to Harum's remark. “You want to promise me, Rum. Even though you are already married to doctor Judah later, and I am no longer in this world, you want to pay attention to Hangga as well huh. If he will have a new partner, make sure that the Hangga couple is a good and righteous woman like you. Do not let the Hangga get a female soul mate who is not good. Make sure that the life of the Hanges is okay. And make sure that Hangga remains a good man like this.” Smelling more tears, hugging Nata.
"You want a promise, don't you Rum?" lontar Nata in the middle of Harum's arms. Harum replied with sobs that were becoming more and more.
From behind the curtain, Judah listened to everything Nata was talking about. Without a sound, he twisted his body and left the room.
“Dok,” greet the nurse who crossed paths with Yuda at the door of Nata's nursery.
“Patients on behalf of Ms. Nata, please take them directly to the therapy room. I wait there," Yuda told the nurse who was about to enter Nata's treatment room.

After eating and praying Zuhur in the hospital mosque, Hangga returned to Nata's treatment room. He was stunned because he did not find Nata and Harum there. Hangga immediately went to the nurse to ask her.
“Bu Nata has been taken to the therapy room, sir. Accompanied by Mbak Harum earlier,” bright female nurse with a body filled.
“Oh, so. Thank you, Sus.”
Hanges swung a gallop towards the place described by the nurse. In front of the therapy room, he saw Harum sitting down on the waiting chair. Hanges slowed down to Harum, then took a sitting position beside him. Harum turned his head just as Hanges butt landed on the long stainless chair occupied only by the two of them.
“Udah long Nata get in there?” ask Hanges who is already sitting on the side of Harum.
“Hopefully Kak Nata can recover yes, Mas.” Harum answered Hanges question with a prayer.
“Amin,” says Hangga.
For a while the two were silent, both of them looking at the door of the room where Nata was inside.
“Oya, Rum. When do you want to marry doctor Yuda?” tanya Hangga broke the silence between them.
“Not yet,” sahut Harum brief with a straight forward view still staring at the door of the room in front of him.
“Sorry, I have not had time to take care of our divorce in court. Not until a week of your departure at that time, Nata was diagnosed with cancer. I'm focused on taking care of Nata, so I haven't had time to take care of the divorce. But, if your marriage will be done in the near future, let me contact Dad to prepare a lawyer to take care of our divorce," said Hangga.
“Mas just focus on taking care of Kak Nata. Divorce matters later let me and Mas Yuda who take care of it,” said Harum without looking at Hangga.
“Mas has heard that the divorce process is easier if the lawsuit is from the husband. But, if you want to enter a divorce lawsuit also do not papa, Rum. He will not be present at every trial. He said, if the husband who became the defendant and never appeared in the trial process, the judge will assume the husband accepted the lawsuit against him wife, the judge, so the judge can immediately decide and grant divorce from the wife.” This time Hangga spoke by staring at Harum beside him. He saw Harum just nodding his head with his eyes straight ahead, without a second to look at him.
“Doctor Yuda is a good person, and he is very apt to be your partner.” It was fragrant to bow your head. For some reason, the sentence spoken by Hangga felt a pain in his heart.
“If you can be honest, I was hoping to come back with you. Because I still love you so much, Rum. But now I think you deserve to be happy. And perhaps doctor Judah is the man who can make you happy. I can only pray that you will be happy with Doctor Yuda. I'm happy if you're happy.”
During the time of hearing the words of the Hanges, Harum sat uneasily with his eyes condensing. As strong as he held the tightness that clumped in the chest. Fearing not to be able to hold back the tears that felt urgent would spill, Harum stood up and quickly left the Hanges.
“Rum.” Hangga looked at the fragrant step that kept away. His heart also shook bitterly, but he had decided to give Harum.
Harum deserves to be happy. And the doctor of Judah could make Harum happy more than he could. That's how Hangga believes himself to be able to sincerely release Harum.

Fragrant sitting face down with her head leaning against her desk. Traces of tears drenched her reddish cheeks. He left Hanges and went to the cafeteria to spill the tightness that hit him in the chest. She still loves Hangga, but she doesn't want to go back to her ex-husband, I don't know why.
“Rum.” Yuda's voice made Harum rise.
“I think you've come home, Rum,” Yuda said as he watched Harum's face.
“Be-yet, Mas. This is soon I want to go home,” said Harum forced a smile.
“You're out crying, Rum?” From where he stood, Judah could see the fragrant face and eyes that seemed to be crying.
“Mas Yuda seriously want to marry me?” tanya Harum looked at Yuda.
Yuda did not immediately answer Harum's question, he flinkered for a moment staring at Harum. “If it's not serious, I can't possibly say it.”
“Then can we get married, Mas?”
