It was late at night when Arlan quietly walked into Maysha's room. The woman seemed to have fallen asleep with the blanket sagging down. Slowly Arlan approached and allowed the blanket. Then put the back of his hand on Maysha's forehead. He was able to breathe a sigh of relief after feeling Maysha's body temperature was normal.
For a while he looked at his wife's face. Then with a very careful movement immerse the kiss in the forehead. Maysha, who had fallen asleep just a few minutes ago, slowly opened her eyes as she felt a soft touch on her forehead.
"Mas Arlan?" I was a little surprised.
“Sorry I woke you up. I just want to see how you are."
"I feel better now." Maysha wriggled quietly and allowed her originally lying position to sit down. The drowsiness that was mastered slowly disappeared. He glanced at the clockwork on the wall. "Why haven't you slept and come here?"
"There's actually something I want to talk to you about."
"What about?"
Arlan chose to sit on the edge of the bed. Next to his hand was stroking his wife's cheek. Stare deeply.
"Sha, I want you to know one thing. My memory has not yet fully recovered. But I beg you, whatever I do in the future trust me. I did it all for us."
Maysha looked up at her husband. His forehead was thinly wrinkled, trying to guess what Arlan was trying to convey.

Laura was feeling like she was above the clouds at the moment. Arlan's decision to marry her officially made her too happy. Last night he contacted Mami Gina and told her about it. And of course the news made Mami Gina very happy.
Early in the morning Laura was out of the room. That morning Maysha was already in the kitchen to make breakfast with Bik Wiwin.
“Morning Maysha. Already healthy, huh?” asked Laura excitedly.
Laura chuckled, then approached and leaned back in the kitchen set. “Oh yes, Ma'am. I have a big surprise for Ma'am Maysha.”
Maysha glanced at the woman, then refocused on her cooking.
“Mbak Maysha must be happy to hear my surprise. So prepare mentally, Ma'am. Frightened Ma'am Maysha fainted so happy.”
“Indeed you have any surprises what?”
“Mas Arlan agreed to marry me officially next week and maybe Mas Arlan will divorce Mbak Maysha after that.” Laura smiled after him.
“That's just the surprise?” ask Maysha.
It made Laura speechless that very second. He was a little surprised to see the woman's reaction. Let alone being angry or just sad, Maysha even acted very relaxed. It was as if Arlan's decision wasn't something that could make him sad.
“Laura, no news hurts me more than when I heard the news of Mas Arlan's death in an accident three years ago.” Maysha reviewed a faint smile. “One more thing, I will not prohibit if Mas Arlan does want to marry you officially."
“And what if Mas Arlan decides to divorce Maysha?”
"That's his right and I have no right to obstruct."
Laura laughed again. "That means Ma'am Maysha is ready to be kicked out of this house, because I'm going to be Mas Arlan's only wife."
For a moment Maysha stopped her activities and looked at Laura.
“I, Maysha Hadikusuma. I don't need to explain anything more than myself. Because I'm not the one who would lose if Mas Arlan let me go just for a woman like you. Understand now?”
