Grief News

With a bit of confusion Ziva did as Aksa commanded. Flat face and full of seriousness make Ziva's guts shrivel.

After entering the bathroom. Ziva returned to the kitchen where Aksa had been waiting. Not a word came out of Aksa's mouth after Ziva gave up the bowl of his urine. Especially now that Aksa has put on a mask.

"What's that for?" ask Ziva after Aksa has gone away from him. Aksa is like a deaf man. Ziva asked in a loud voice.

Aksa put the small bowl on the floor. Don't forget he locked the door. The room he used was not the room Ziva occupied.

All the testpacks he bought immediately he took out. One by one the testpack he dipped in the water in the bowl. After all dipped, he put one by one the testpack on the floor.

"Line two all," he murmured.

"That means ...."

Aksa was silent for a moment, she did not expect to have a child from Ziva the woman she did not love at all.

"Stupid you are Aksa, stupid," said Aksa while pulling his hair.

"If it were my son, it wouldn't be easy to get away from that woman."

"I don't want to and I have to do something." Aksa also left the house.

Yogyakarta.

Tonight, Arka invites Riana to go see her parents. Riana refused, but Arka continued to persuade her. Until Chintya calls Riana and asks for her. If, regarding the mother of Arka, Riana could not refuse. Chintya has been very kind to Riana.

"Where is my son-in-law," Chintya told Arka.

Arka shifted her body and managed to show Riana.

"Geez, you are so beautiful. Aunt misses you." Chintya hugged Riana with warmth.

"Mah, invite in our future daughter-in-law," said Fikri.

"Prospective son-in-law?" riana repeated being slightly surprised by Fikri's words.

"Don't beat me up, Papah" said Arka.

They invited Riana to dinner together. After that they talked for a while in the family room. Discuss this and that.

"Riana, Auntie would love you to be Arka's life partner."

Riana's eyes widened to hear Chintya's words with eyes filled with seriousness.

"Tante is very confident, you are able to love Arka very sincerely. You are also a good woman who can be a good wife and mother."

Riana froze at Chintya's words. He had already spoken to Arka about ta'aruf's invitation. Gently Riana refused. There are many reasons Riana gave about the rejection. One of them he wants to pursue a career before marriage. After marriage, she wants to be a full-time housewife. Fortunately Arka was not a forced man. He accepted all of Riana's decisions. As long as Riana did not cut off their friendship.

"Thank you, Aunt has always been prejudiced against Riana. However, Riana is not ready to get married. There are still many dreams that have not been realized. One of them wanted to make Father and Sister Riana happy," she said very gently.

"It's okay, honey." Chintya gently rubbed Riana's hair. "Tante just wants one day you and Arka to mate. Accompany the Arka until death do you part."

There was a bad taste in Riana's heart. However, even if he lied he would hurt Arka and his family. He better be honest. Although both will hurt.

All the way home Riana just stared at the car window. Chintya's words were still ringing in her head.

"Don't think about what my mom said. Mama wants to have a daughter-in-law and grandchildren. Mama wanted to show off her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to her fellow artists" Arka chuckled. Riana just smiled faintly.

You're too good for me. I don't want to hurt you, Arkana. Undeniably, my heart is still locked. There's still one name that can't go from my heart. The man who hurt me, but I still love him so much.

"I'm sorry, my mother, yes. If, his words disturb your mind, "sorry Arka.

"It's okay, a mother's instincts," Riana replied with a smile.

"I'll go in first, yeah." When Riana was about to open the door, Riana Arka's hand pulled her body into Arka's embrace.

"I will continue to wait for you. Until you're ready to do ta'aruf with me." Again Riana froze hearing the words from Arka. The man who has been around for almost two weeks is taking very good care of him.

Riana tried to break Arka's embrace. He stared inside Arka's pitch-black bead of eyes.

"Love cannot be forced. I don't want to be an evil woman. To lie to my own feelings to make you happy. In the end, I wasn't the only one who was tormented. You'll get hurt, too."

"I'm sorry, if my honesty hurts you. It is better to get sick at the beginning of the story than to get sick at the end of the story that has already drowned in it" explained Riana.

The sweet smile that Arka gave to Riana after hearing the explanation from the woman in front of her.

"Why are you smiling? You're not angry?" Riana looked in wonder towards Arka.

"For what? I like your honesty, too" replied Arka.

Riana's face changed, Arka's sweet smile transmitted to Riana who now arched a smile.

"Thank you, you understand me" said Riana sincerely.

"Didn't all women want to be understood? Hence, I learned to understand you so that you would accept me as your priest." Riana's smile faded hearing Arka's words.

A second later Arka laughed and gently rubbed the top of Riana's head.

"I'm kidding. Shouldn't our friends understand each other?" There was no response from Riana. He was still staring at Arka with a flat look.

"Now you're in, yeah. It's night, you need to rest."

Singapore.

At the airport Aska's heart has begun to be struck by fear. He continued to recite prayers for his grandfather's recovery. Aska's worried face was very clear. His heart felt very unsettled.

Just now the car that picked up Aska arrived in front of the hospital. Aska immediately went down and ran towards the grandfather's care. The sight of everyone who was in front of the treatment room was looking down deeply as if implying sadness.

"What's this?" ask Ask. However, there was no answer from all of them.

Aska's heart started to not work. Cold sweat had already soaked his palms. There's fear in Aska's heart right now. His hand started to press the door. Just as the door opened, Aska saw a shocking sight.

His body was weak at once seeing all the doctors shaking their heads towards Aska. And now the grandfather's body has been covered with a blanket to the face.

"Grandfather," he shouted.

Behind the grief, there were people laughing happily. The man standing in front of Genta's treatment room. He was one of the men of Genta Wiguna.

Genta is gone, Christo's turn is about to die.
