Secluded Love

#135

Juli faithfully sits in the chair waiting for Damar to come out.

It's in when they're still inside.

July even had time to pray maghrib in the courtyard mosque of the hospital.

"Grandma wants to talk to you , ,"

Kevin emerges from behind the door to throw July's daydream about Damar's proposal.

"Thank you."

Juli goes in, but his hand is held by Kevin.

"Are you happy without me ?

Is it true you have to accept me ?"

"Although there is compulsion, it does not mean I pretend to be you Kevin.

I also struggle to return your feelings."

Juli moves in holding onto Kevin's arm, hoping that their friendship still continues.

Juli likes to have friends like Kevin, he misses their togetherness without frills affairs of the heart.

"Come in, grandma's been waiting."

Kevin brushed Juli's hand gently.

Kevin hasn't forgotten about July.

For a real man to love one woman alone is very difficult, let alone forget it.

"Mr , ,"

Sapa Juli then sits next to the gurney opposite Damar.

"July, can grandma ask you for one request to make ?"

Atikah asked as if she had given up on the situation.

"As long as July can, what is it ?"

"So soon married to Damar, grandma would love to see granddaughter happy."

He looked at Damar, the man was also quite surprised to hear his grandmother pleading for herself.

Juli is confused as to what to answer.

Delaying Damar's proposal was easy because he could understand.

While rejecting the final request from Atikah is very difficult to feel.

"Grandmother knows Juli is still in college. Grandma must be healthy and quickly healed, in order to witness Mr. Damar's happy day."

Juli tried to give understanding to grandma.

"Hmm . ."

Suddenly, Grandma's heartbeat sounded faster than normal.

Damar and Juli panic in fear of something happening.

"I'm calling the doctor."

Juli ran away as quickly as possible to find the whereabouts of the doctor who handled Atikah.

Kevin's still outside, he sees Juli crying.

"What's wrong?"

Kevin asked inquisitively.

"Doctor, grandma, Kevin's heart . ."

Juli can't explain because she doesn't understand why. Moreover, his feelings are not because, the answer is what causes Atikah relapse.

"Calm down !"

Kevin tries to calm Juli down after the doctor and nurse come inside.

"It's my fault Kevin, I'm the cause of grandmothers like this."

Juli's knees feel too tight.

If anything happens to Atikah Juli can't forgive herself.

"Try you think long ago, grandma might still be okay Juls.

Is it hard to say yes ?"

Damar snapped at Juli, he came out after the nurse told him to.

"Mas, what's the matter ?

You don't get mad at Juli, pity her in shock."

Kevin does not accept seeing Damar scold July.

Usually his brother would not be like that to the woman they love.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make Grandma sick."

Juli cried loudly, her voice even filling the silent passageway of the VIP corridor.

"Enough !

We better not argue here."

Kevin quits the quarrel between them.

She is dizzy to hear Juli cry, Kevin is worried that his grandmother is getting worse.

"How's the granny doc ?"

Damar approached the doctor asking for the latest information about Atikah's condition.

"His heart is weakened, please do not make the patient depressed. We tried to give our best. The rest pray to God for a miracle."

The doctor explained, his face was sad as if implying Atikah might not survive.

Juli felt more guilty hearing that.

If only he had agreed, Atikah might have been cured.

True what Damar said, Juli selfishly just thinking about his feelings without caring about Atikah's health.

"You'd better go home Juls !"

Damar's orders, he's talking his back to the girl.

"I'm , ,"

Juli glances at Kevin, the man nods asking Juli to obey Damar's wishes.

🌙️🌙️🌙️

The night is getting late but July still has a hard time closing her eyes.

If the worst happens to Atikah, then Juli will be a murderer.

Ah, if the time can be July again he will be ready to accept the application of Damar.

But for him this is not an easy thing, Juli needs time to think about it carefully.

Ting nong . .

The doorbell rings indicating someone is going to visit.

Juli wipes her tears then walks lethargicly open the door.

"Aunt Zara . ."

Sapa Juli saw a woman standing in front of him carrying a kebaya along with her side.

"I beg you, fulfill my mother's last wish. ."

Zara handed the dress right in front of July's face.

Not a word came out of July's mouth.

His hand moved without orders to accept Zara's gift of kebaya.

"When we don't have much Juls, auntie wait in the car."

Zara leaves Juli, giving her time to change clothes.

While in the hospital right in front of Atikah's room, Damar was already flanked with his suit stelan.

His hands clutched nervously awaiting the arrival of July.

There was also a religious affairs office that would marry them.

"Loe did the right thing. .

Grandma's thinking about your life."

Kevin patted Damar on the shoulder cheering his brother on.

Ditya talked with the two men.

He asked them to prepare a formal letter including a marriage book. Although it will not be in the near future the origin of the firstborn's marriage is also legally official.

Dejavu for Ditya.

It was as if the fate of his first son resembled that of him and Zoya.

The fruit that fell not far from the tree was true.

But it's not a big deal, considering the two are clearly in love with each other.

It's just impressed to rush to grant the last wishes of the in-laws.

"That's the bride-to-be sir."

He was relieved to see Zara walking in July's arms.

No less, Damar can finally breathe a sigh of relief Juli did not reject him.

Even though she knows Juli is not ready to get married.

Especially suddenly like this. The girl dreams of marriage in general.

"Can we start now ?"

Ask penghulu.

They've gathered around Atikah's gurney.

Bara happens to be a night shift witness with his assistant's male nurse.

No family from the July party, their guardians leave it to the pengulu.

The dowry is simple, the apartment that Juli currently occupies, plus cash for the remaining 500,000 they spent last afternoon.

"I accept the marriage and marriage of Juliana bint David Siahaan with the dowry paid in cash !"

Clearly and loudly Damar said the phrase ijab qabul even though he had not studied at all.

"How's the witness ?"

Penghulu.

"S A H !"

Answer everyone present in the inpatient room.

Thank goodness, ,

Ditya also Zara felt relieved to have let Damar marry the girl he loved.

"Welcome you are officially a husband and wife religiously. Please wife kiss husband's hand, and husband touch his wife's yamun."

The command of the penghulu according to the advice of Islam.

July obeyed what the ruler said and so did Damar.

Atikah smiled at her grandson's wedding.

His life's burden ends after finding out Damar is married.

Atikah is so sorry for Damar that he always worried that Damar is still traumatized by marriage.

In fact, the man wants to have a serious relationship with only one girl, Juliana.

Atikah closed her eyes a second later.

The long sound on the heart recorder monitor caused all the panic.

"Please wait outside !"

Pinta Bara, they were also said to be flushing out of the room.

Bara stayed with the nurse with Kevin.

They perform a heart spur procedure using a defibrillator.

3 times already Bara put the heart shock device on Atikah's chest, but no more heart rate appears.

"please note the time of death of the patient !"

Bara's orders to his assistant.

Kevin sat down on the floor listening to Grandma leaving them all.

Even on his breath grandma thought of a Damar.

Kevin's heart was broken, not out of envy.

Grandma should be healed after seeing Damar married, why even bear to close the age.

Bara crouched patting Kevin's shoulder to defend his condolences in depth.

Then he came out to tell the family about the sad news.
