Rahelsa returns home in tears, though she can evade Zack and can protect herself from the young man's offers, but it is undeniable that his heart aches when Zack offers a demeaning thing.
It felt like Rahelsa had no face left to meet the young man, or rather she did not want to show her face in front of Zack anymore because the man had harassed her indirectly.
What condition Aarav in a wheelchair makes people always have to look at him one eye, as well as Rahelsa's decision to marry Aarav - what it makes others doubt his happiness in the future, he said, so as to immediately offer the wrong thing to do.
In that situation, Nimas found his daughter sitting on the living room sofa with shaky shoulders and sobs.
"Darling, what's wrong with you?"
Rahelsa looked at Nimas and immediately hugged the woman who gave birth to him. All this time he lived only wayang, did not have a brother so as to make him always open to the Mama, because Nimas is not only a mother for him, but has doubled to be a friend and brother for him.
"Ma, was my decision to marry Aarav a mistake?"
Nimas frowned and looked at Rachel. "Why did you say that? Are you starting to doubt your decision?"
Rahelsa. "I don't want Aarav insecure with his circumstances. If someone else's mouth makes him believe that he can't bring me happiness" she said.
Nimas smiled warmly. She stroked Rachelsa's hair very gently.
"Listen to Mama, Hel. If you have made the decision to marry Aarav then cover your ears from all the words and even blasphemy of others. You are the one who lives so you know your own happiness best. Mama hopes Aarav can also behave so that he is not discouraged by his condition. Ignore the words of others who hurt, because no matter how good we are, there are still things that make others want to bring us down" concluded Nimas.
Rahelsa nodded, she clenched her body more, it felt the power of advice and the spirit given by her mother was able to make her more mature in dealing with the problems that were happening to her.
"Mama used to be, Hel. People are blaspheming Mama. Mama is from the village and can be married to your father who has a lot of money, people are cynical, as if Mama has done magic to conquer Papa," said Nimas accompanied by his laughter.
"When Papa who loves dies with Mama, right?" rahelsa chuckled even though her tears were still wetting her cheeks.
"Yes, if that's what your father asked." Nimas shrugged his shoulders.
"But, Ma. There are things that Rachel wants to ask again," said Rahelsa hesitated but was very curious what the mother's answer to this.
"What?"
"But it's about the husband and wife relationship" he said biting a finger.
"Say! You're getting married soon, right? So I guess it's not taboo anymore to talk about now."
"What is a husband and wife relationship in the true sense of the word ... is it necessary?" asked Rahelsa plain.
Nimas catches her daughter's intentions, though Rahelsa asks in ambiguous sentences.
"If according to my mother, such a relationship is important. But, it all comes back to you. If you sincerely accept Aarav's situation, everything will be easy. "
"So, the key is just sincere, Ma?"
Rahelsa nodded her head.
"And one more thing, don't forget to pray Aarav to get well soon. We do not know whose prayer and which prayer will be granted, so do not be tired, because your choice falls on a man like Aarav."

Time passed by so quickly, Rahelsa and Aarav were busy taking care of the wedding counting the days. In accordance with the advice of the mother, Rahelsa tried to cover her ears from all the words of those who underestimate her chosen husband. He was getting closer to Aarav so that the young man did not feel sad because he heard things that made him hurt.
"God..."
"Yes?" Rahelsa looked at Aarav by his side, currently they were in a restaurant after they did the last fitting-of-wedding attire that they would wear in a few days' time.
"Whatever happens in the future, are you ready to deal with it?"
Rahelsa clasped Aarav's hand on the table. "I am ready and I hope you are as ready as I am" Rahelsa replied steadily.
"I will not forget all your kindness, I will definitely try to be a good husband to you. I want to make you happy, Els," Aarav said.
"Aamiin.thank you future husband," said Rahelsa smilingly.
Aarav held Rahelsa's hand back. "You dare to gombalin me." Aarav chuckles.
"Not a zombie but it's a real one" replied Rahelsa cuek.
"If so, it's up to you, baby!" aarav said with a faint smile, flirting with Rahelsa.
Rahelsa was wide-eyed, had she not misheard Aarav's name to him this time?
"What did you call me?" rahelsa asked, but she was the one who had teased Aarav first.
"Darling?" said Aarav, slicking his shoulders while giving a smile.
"You're bales teasing me, nih!" rahelsa protests thwart.
"It's not like that, it really loves you!" sahut Aarav again.
"Yes..the bottom of you!"
Aarav laughing. "Yes, you fuck me!" said later.
