Aulia was shocked by Fatih's words like that. He could not say anything because he could not answer.
"Where, Lia? I have no other way. My father really wanted you to be his son-in-law, so he made a will like that" explained Fatih.
"Mas Fatih, I'd like to ask. Was Mas Fatih sincerely willing to help those street children,?" ask Aulia.
"Yes Lia, I'm sincere," he replied briefly.
"If Mas Fatih is sincere, why should there be a requirement about marriage,?" ask Aulia back.
"And I told you, my father's pure treasure of hard work is all in the bank. While others are the result of work as loan sharks during this time. So I don't want to help those kids with usury money" Fatih explained.
Aulia was getting confused by all this. He really wants to make a decent place for these street children. But, the terms were so difficult for him to accept.
"But, Mas. I'm going to marry Mas Bayu, right,?" answer Aulia.
Fatih fell silent and could not say anything. If you think it is true, Aulia wants to marry Bayu. But, he had to carry out the mandate of his late father as soon as possible, because the doctor's verdict on his illness made him feel he did not have much time left.
Aulia looked at Fatih who was silent with her eyes glazed into pity, what was it about to make a Fatih who was once gallant and somewhat trempamen, now become weak and melted.
Fatih then called her assistant earlier to get the file from the hospital. Soon enough, the file was in Fatih's hands.
Slowly he opened one of the papers which was none other than the doctor's diagnosis of his disease. He gave the paper to Aulia.
Aulia received the paper and read it. With pushy eyes he was shocked by the writing he read this time. Slowly his eyes began to dew and dripped clear hairs from his eyes.
Then he looked at Fatih with a pity and sympathetic look. Fatih smiled then nodded slowly as if hinting that was her current state.
"Sorry Mas Fatih, I didn't know that Mas Fatih was this sick. I think with Mas Fatih's return from the hospital, I'm already improving. I'm sorry, huh, Mas,?" said Aulia slowly.
"Yes Lia, it's okay. I asked myself to go home. Because for what in the hospital, anyway I will have no hope anymore," he replied.
"Lia, I didn't want to deal with that will and the marriage. I think let it be, there's still time to find a way out about my father's treasure. And it doesn't have to be taken care of immediately. But, after I got a verdict from the hospital, I was afraid that later I would not be able to carry out the mandate of Dad's will," Fatih explained by staring at Aulia.
"But Mas Fatih will definitely recover, don't be pessimistic, Mas,!" aulia said firmly.
"I have resigned Lia, and gave up all the same God" replied Fatih again.
"Mas, for example I accept this offer, means Mas Fatih has the same heart as me."
"What do you mean, what.?"
"Yes, Mas Fatih has resigned to the disease that Mas Fatih suffered. Then Mas Fatih felt that he did not have much time anymore, if for example we were married. Means Mas Fatih can make me a widow, hiks.hiks.," replied Aulia crying.
"Hey, don't cry. But, that's what it is."
"I don't want to, Mom. As for the street children, let them remain like this. One day I will try to make it happen. I can't accept this offer, I'm sorry, Mas" Aulia said with tears in her eyes.
"Lia, you can't be selfish. Think of the children's fate."
"I'm not selfish, Mom. But, I cannot accept Mas Fatih's offer. I have promised Mas Bayu will get married after Mas Bayu comes home from Semarang" replied Aulia.
"Alright then, I won't force you" Fatih said.
Shortly after, Aulia's phone shook. He opened his bag and saw who had sent the message.
"Aulia, I just got a call from my boss in Semarang. Tomorrow I'm told to represent him to a corporate event. So, tomorrow morning I fly directly to Semarang. Sorry if we haven't talked yet. Because there was actually something I wanted to talk about. Since you have other business, so I'm delaying. I promise, once the work is done I'll go home to talk about our relationship."
