A Truth

...Rio's condition has improved, certainly not because he regularly eats or takes medicine, but because of doping from vitamin injections and infusions, because until now Rio still lost his appetite ,,,...

...Rio was saturated with having to keep lying on the bed,,, so he decided to take a walk to the hospital park ,, but before Rio got to the park ,, ,he saw Yuda and Lila sitting in front of IGD, and ,,,...

" Assalamualaikum Yud, Lil..." Sapa Rio's

" Waalaikumsalam's...Lho mas Rio is here, what pain is Sampek in that infusion??? " Yuda's answer made Lila who had just lowered her head to hold her sleepy and also worried about directly raising her head

" Ehh...Waalaikumsalam mas Rio, is Rio here too??? " Lila was aghast from her seat

" Yes.. only the condition of the body is less fit, eat it in the infusion of gini.. "Jawab Rio covered his sadness

" That's it, mas, so Rio mas can't attend Aulia's reception today??? Kasian Aulia, must be sad without all of us present..."

" I intend to go there later, yes, hopefully I will get the same mama papa ... but this is why you guys can be here???"

" Via was sick mas , yesterday passed out in room , her condition was bad so she had to get intensive care , " replied Yuda

" What is Via sick??? how do I need to get intensive care?" Rio started to get curious

" I also don't understand mas, this, we're waiting for lab results and rongsen , but now it's still Sunday so have to wait Monday mas ,,,"

...Lila was just speechless hearing Rio and Yuda's conversation, of course she knew the disease that was being suffered by Via ,,it's just that he had promised Via would not tell anyone about his illness, especially Judah...

...Via an orphan,, so he had a hard time getting a kidney donor, too, Via didn't have enough money to do the surgery, so he decided to hide his illness from everyone ,,, except for Aulia and Lila...

" Lil... Can we talk for a minute ??? " Said Rio

" Well, can you, what do you want to talk about??? "

" We sit on the park bench there yuk, let's have a better conversation , can't you say Jud?? , don't borrow the lilanya first..." Rio felt bad about having to leave Yuda alone

" It's not papa kok mas, please...." Yuda smiled thinly

...Rio and Lila headed for the park bench that was located under the mango tree ,,, the beginning of their discussion about the cost of the Via hospital that will be borne by the Rio family because as the owner of the home is his obligation to help the caretaker......

...But after they finished discussing the matter of Via , Rio finally began to discuss a little about Aulia the idol of his heart all this time.......

" I do not know mas , even Aulia also do not know ,, mas Lutfi son of one of the donors of the orphanage ,,, and it's a match between Lutfi's parents and Mr. Sulaiman mas ,,,"

" Why did Aulia agree if she didn't know her future husband??? "

" Aulia actually wanted to refuse mas , but she had no reason , because indeed since Mr. Sulaiman was sickly , Mr. Sulaiman had begun to ask Aulia to marry ,,, Aulia always said she was waiting for someone but Mr. Solomon did not believe Aulia's words, because indeed he never introduced a man to Mr. Solomon..."

" You mean wait ??? Aulia loves someone like that? " Rio started to investigate

" Emmm i-iya mas." replied Lila clumsy.

"Douuuh... How is this?? why did I lose my gini??? later if Rio asked who the man was, what should I answer? If I get to tell the truth to Rio mas, I can end up in the law of Aulia, later not only clean the fish ponds can be asked to bathe the fish all ,, haduuuh... sereemmm was so angry Aulia's face...."Monologue Lila in heart

" i.l... Lila..... Answer my question??" Rio started to get emotional

" Who is the man that Aulia loves?? Do I know him?? " Rio is getting more probing

...Lila was confused, what should she say, if she was honest it was the same as betraying her best friend but if she was dishonest then Rio would definitely be angry,,, and there was no anger more frightening than Rio's anger, and all of Aulia was still far more fierce...

" Lil... quickly answer !!! " Rio started to pitched high

...Lila had no other choice,, she had to be honest,, no, now Aulia was also married so there was no point in hiding the truth about Aulia's feelings just yet...

" Aulia actually used to love Rio mas, but after she found out that Rio mas is not in love with her,,, she started to throw away the love bit by bit ,, until finally Mr. Sulaiman betrothed him to mas Lutfi, and he had no choice but to accept the application of mas Lutfi,, "

" Whataa?? Aulia's in love with me ???"

" I-iya mas , sorry I have spoken sassy but indeed that's the truth , now I don't have to worry, Aulia is married so will not bother you anymore..."

The deg....!

...How hurt Rio was after knowing that the person he had loved also loved him , but he was late in declaring it until his heart was married to another man ...

...Without a word of anything,, Rio instantly left Lila after hearing the truth about Aulia's feelings,,, Rio walked over blankly and looked limp ,,, Lila called out to Rio many times but she remained ignored by Rio...
