"Don't you know Firna has cervical cancer?"
"Astaghfirullah hal adzim" Caca covered her mouth with both hands. He was shocked, and so was Alda.
"So you didn't know Firna was sick?" Ask Haris.
"I swear Ris, neither I nor Caca knew anything at all. I'm the same Caca came to Firna's house because Caca was suspicious of Firna because now he always dodged" Alda explained.
"Yes Ris, last night I called Firna because I wanted to ask her what she was doing in this hospital? Because yesterday afternoon I saw him come out of Dr. CSPK. When I called, I met but he said he couldn't, because he was out of town. That's why he couldn't meet. But it turns out he really lied to us. Even when he was urged to talk, he did not want to tell me what he was going through. He chose to shut up." Caca explained to Haris what happened yesterday.
Haris was silent as if thinking of something.
"Surely Firna has a reason why she's hiding all this from you. It could be that he does not want to burden the two of you with this pain" Arka now commented.
"How is Firna doing now? He's still healing, right?" Ask Alda with teary eyes.
"The cancer has spread, so the only way is surgical removal of the uterus"
"Astaghfirullah" Caca closed her mouth again in surprise at what she heard.
"Is that so bad?" Alda was surprised.
"Yes, he knew it a long time ago. It's just that he doesn't want treatment. He said he'll heal himself. And now it's bad, but he still won't do the surgery"
"Why doesn't he want to have surgery? Does it have to do with operating costs? If that's the reason let me bear it all" Caca could no longer hold the clear circle of his two eyes.
"Not about cost. I've prepared the cost. But Firna refused anyway, she did not want to do the surgery because she was afraid she could not have children. Because after the womb is lifted, Firna will not be able to have children" Haris explained the fear Firna experienced.
Firna thought that if her uterus was removed, she could not have children and that would be a problem when she married. Firna did not want to disappoint her husband. Therefore Firna did not want to do the rapture of the womb.
"Is it possible that she's afraid that no man will marry her, knowing that she can't have children?" Alda spoke with distant eyes.
"I told him I didn't mind any of that. I can accept him for who he is" Haris's reply made Alda and Caca turn towards him.
Then the two of them looked at each other, there was a huge question mark in their minds.
"So, you've already....." Caca hung up his words.
"I have proposed to her and intend to marry her. But Firna's answer remained the same, she rejected me. Should I just give up?" Haris's face turned sad.
"Hey, don't give up bro. Stay strong and keep fighting. I'm sure one day his heart will melt with your efforts. Show your man's attitude don't loyo it" Arka gave encouragement to Haris, and Haris also smiled at Arka's words.
"In the past, you always gave me the spirit when I was down" had to punch Arka's arm slowly.
"Ris, I'm sure someday Firna will be Nerima loe. Because you're the only man who cares about his condition" Now Alda commented and gave encouragement to Haris as well.

Alda POV
After waking up from her stupor, now Firna was transferred to the treatment room. I'm the only one who accompanies Firna. Because Caca is now brought the same way for nengokin Rani, his sister-in-law. Haris is out to buy food.
"Al, thank you you for letting me down" said Firna, who was still lying limp.
No answer, silent a moment ago, came out a clear circle that flowed without cue. Firna was crying in front of me.
"But I'm afraid of Al" he said in the middle of a cry.
"Fir, loe don't be afraid, there's me here, there's Caca, there's Haris too. Loe don't feel alone. I'll accompany you until you get well. I know it's tough, but you have to keep it up"
"I'm sorry Al, I don't want my illness to burden you"
I also stood up and hugged Firna who was still lying "Don't be pretentious, I don't like" I said but the tears that I had been holding, finally spilled too. We also cried together.
"Loe's got an explanatory debt about Haris? What news I missed" I took off my arms and stood by her side.
"What explanation?" Eyebrow Firna linked.
"Is Haris right to say hello?"
"So, Haris told you the same story?" Firna looked surprised.
"Yes, he's told me the same story, Caca, even in front of the Ark bang as well. He said he had proposed to you and was willing to marry you. But loe refused. Is that really so?"
Firna fell silent, her eyes looking at the ceiling.
"I can't take it Al" Firna's voice sounded soft.
"Why? He's a good guy Fir, he can accept your past, he wants to sacrifice when you're sick, even he also wants Nerima loe state if one day you can't have children"
"That's precisely Al, precisely because he's good. I don't want to be a prankster in his life. She can get good women, and also women who can give birth to children. Not a despicable and imperfect woman like me"
"Fir, please. Loe don't say that. Loe pointed out that you could change. Turned into a better woman. Not forever we will live to be bad humans right"
"Yes Al, you're right. I promise after this I'll be a good girl. I know it's karma to make me repent."
"How much does Haris go?"
Firna's forehead frowned "How is it?"
"Loe didn't accept her proposal?" I also asked Firna's certainty about Haris.
Haris had been pitying for years he expected Firna's love, but it was ignored. Even he was willing to sacrifice for Firna's recovery.
"I don't know Al" he answered lightly.
"Loe doesn't have the brain to think. Loe vainin men as good as Haris. He has a nature and attitude that is not much different from the Raka bang. Don't you want a guy like that?"
I just remind because me and firna ever hope, someday if married can get a man like bang Arka.
"Let me think again"
"Most think loe, entar Haris run away and in the new take know the taste of loe. Then I'm sure you'll be satisfied with your lifetime"
Firna was silent, it seemed like she was thinking about my words. Let him think clearly first. And want to accept a man as good as Haris.
