The End of Hope

96 Eps. Whahuh? No way!

"Yes, yeah, mom. Why don't I think there." Budiman asked his wife a question.

"If so rest at the hotel, which is close to Naya's house only yes, sir."

"Well, I don't want to stay in the hotel, we just wait for Naya in front of her house" Budiman said.

Without asking for their consent, Ares turns his car into his apartment. He took the initiative to provide a resting place for both Naya's parents, in the apartment. The two of them did not want to trouble Ares if he had to stay at the hotel.

Arriving at the apartment, Ares invited Budiman and Nuriya in to rest, he invited the two people to sleep in Raya's room and Yoni who looked neat. As long as Yoni is sick, Raya does not want to stay at her grandmother's house.

"So this is Ares's house? Nuriya asked as she lowered her already-awakened stone child on the sofa.

"Yes, mom. While my son Yoni is in the hospital, this place is empty, no one sleeps here, "Ares replied while keeping the suitcase that Budiman had brought into the room.

"So, this apartment will be Naya's house too?"

"Yes, god willing, ma'am."

Ares took out some of the food in his storage cabinet, mostly children's food, but since that was all there was, Ares continued to serve it. He showed me where the kitchen was, and some other things Niriya and Budiman might need, in the house, and then waited for dinner orders to come.

After making sure her parents-in-law can enjoy their resting place, Ares goes to the hospital, he will replace Naya to take care of her son.

As Ares stands face to face with Naya in Yoni's treatment room, Ares smiles knotfully as he says his greetings. Naya answered her greeting flatly.

'Why is he smiling like that?'

"Sir,"

"Hmm ... How's Yoni doing today?" Ares asked as he stepped closer to the sleeping Yoni.

"Today Yoni is fussy, he wants the infusion off, sick he said."

"What did you say?"

"Yes, tell me what's important he can calm down,"

When Naya said she had cleaned up some of her luggage and she put it back in her backpack.

"You're not angry, are you? I believe in you."

Naya simply shook her head, tidied up the bag and walked out while putting the bag on her shoulder.

"Would you like to go home now?"

"Yes, yes. Has your father come?"

"Wait, I'll drop you." Ares took the car keys.

Naya chuckled, responding to Ares' words. Where could Yoni be living alone. Dinda did not come, she had already told Naya that she could not go to the hospital, because there would be items coming at the shop that afternoon.

"Already, sir. Take care of your father. Don't think about me. I can go home by myself. My car is a lot, sir" said Naya, she was still standing by the door.

Ares frowned at Naya's words, then he slipped some money into Naya's bag.

"Eh uh, what does that mean sir. Would you pay for my energy? No need sir."

Naya cannot accept this kind of thing, being given money by a person who has nothing to do with her, even taking care of Yoni on her own accord, as if hurting her self-esteem.

"Not for you, tomorrow buy more food for Yoni, make a rather large breakfast yes. Same with you."

"For whom?" Naya asked while putting money from Ares into the other bag.

"There's a special guest at home, so I'm asking you to please, make breakfast tomorrow morning for my guests. If you want ... I'm addicted to your homemade food."

'Enak just tell'

"Yes, God willing." said Naya as she stepped.

"Lord!"

Naya was already in the corridor as she turned her head, and saw Ares approaching her. The man looked hopeful and confident in looking at Naya, as if forbidding her from leaving, asking her to stay here. His heart was tired of saying goodbye. He has found a bright spot to no longer make hope only limited to wishful thinking in his grasp.

'If we were meant to be together, even if you ran away from me, there would still be a path that would lead you back to me. I'll take you on an equal footing, towards certainty in bringing about the beautiful thing that ends in happiness'

"What else is it, sir?"

"You're still sad and remember your time when you met me?"

Naya stood stiffly, as if something was fencing her body to keep her from moving. He heard Ares's question like a drum being held in an open parade. It's noisy!

"Why, you ask me about that?"

"I just need to make sure. I don't want to if we stay together, you're sad to keep bothering."

'Who wants to stay together, sort out Caca!' first!'

"Eatya, if you do not want to bother it do not need to think of marriage. His name takes care of other people, let alone take care of a wife, must be troublesome, sir!"

"That's not what I meant. If you're sad every time you see me, how can you be happy?"

"Don't bother thinking about my happiness. Happiness is easy, sir. Just stay grateful. I can find my own happiness. Thanks." Avoid.

"So the point is you don't have a problem, right if we get married soon?" He said, taking one step forward, while Naya took one step back.

Naya was silent and did not answer.

'Will God allow this time? I won't sacrifice the future just because of feelings. Caring for and restraint is also a fundamental teaching in religion. So why get married so soon, if someone gets hurt?'

"Sir. Caca likes you the same dad. She's ready to be father's wife, replacing her brother, Nindy"

Trying to divert the conversation.

"Don't call me father, from now on." It feels bad to talk about other people.

'Well, what to call, you are the fathers!'

"What should I call?" Naya's confused.

"Whatever you are not, father"

"Yes, papa..."

"Cock papa, the?"

"Let's call him Yoni and Raya."

Ares felt helpless, finally he let Naya by her own volition call him anything. He just felt amused Naya called him that, even though he was already a father.

"Oh, yes. I've called my father, Mr. Budiman. He also agreed that we marry soon."

"What's? Not likely. Dad said I had to be careful. Why immediately?"

Naya muttered with a loud murmur so Ares could still hear her. He knew that Naya still had doubts about him. They were both abandoned, once injured, to the reluctance to establish a relationship, greater than the desire to live together.

Their conversation came to a halt, as the sound of Yoni crying came from his room. Naya braced her heart not to turn around and meet the boy again. Naya continued her steps, she had to go home.

But as he began to move away, suddenly there was a bit of regret in his heart, had they been a family, he would not have had to leave when the child cried in need of affection from him.

-

All the parents gathered at the house of Ares, Budiman and Nuriya had breakfast together, with the parents of Ares, Hendra and Rasti. Ares purposely brought all the parents together, to talk about marriage and agreement in finding the best way, about his plan.

After Naya came to the hospital this morning, Ares acted as if nothing had happened. He immediately brought home the food, which Naya had made for his parents' breakfast. Unsuspecting or asking, Naya also gave him all the food he had made.

The parents have introduced themselves, just chatting about the circumstances, news, weather and seasons, which occurred in the area where they live. Of course they also talked about, the journey of Budiman until it ended in Ares' apartment. A very comfortable apartment.

Ares listened to the conversation between the parents while cleaning the dining table, assisted by Rasti. He also chimed in on the words of those who offended the problems and circumstances of his children. Today, she has been a domestic assistant since Yoni became ill, and Raya lives with her grandmother.

Until their chat came to the story of how Yoni could get a disaster, fell in the project location.

As parents, Budiman and Hendra started a chat that entered the core of the morning's meeting.

"All is the will of God, what Ares wants to experience, is a test of patience, so be more careful if you have to invite children to work... It might also be a way of marriage for Ares and Naya" Budiman said.

"Yes, sir. I think so too. It came to us like a coincidence, when we needed a woman who could take care of my granddaughter" Hendra said.

Budiman commented wisely on the incident and Hendra, who was in a wheelchair, chimed in wisely as well. All nodded as a sign of agreement. Ares smiled in response to the words of the parents.

"But this way, sir. When Naya told me about Nak Ares, I concluded that Naya was still doubtful about this marriage. My son is like a trauma to his old marriage" Budiman said.

"Sir, Budiman don't worry. Naya is a good woman, I'm sure Ares will take good care of Naya as well" Hendra said.

All the comments came out, because they already knew about Naya.

"Well, sir. I came here all of a sudden, even Naya herself didn't know" Budiman said.

"Well, I'm also curious about that, why is it suddenly like this. Even if we knew all day long, surely we would make preparations," said Hendra.

"What kind of preparation, Mr Hendra? What we have received is very good, thanks for the welcome."

"Slave does not need to thank me, tomorrow we have to stop by our house, if our children are married."

"Okay, God willing we'll stop by there. So, back to Naya, my son is hard to get married again."

"I understand, Naya just meant to be careful, didn't she Ar?" asked Hendra to his son who had been silent since. And Ares nodded.

"I just mean well, want to marry my son as soon as possible to Ares, right now," Budiman said.

"Oh, so. But Naya doesn't know yet, doesn't it matter?" Ask Hendra.

"No, no problem. If the marriage contract is religious, it is quite like this. What matters is legitimate. Naya doesn't have to be present" Budiman said.

"Kok, is that it, sir? Pity Naya if she does not know she has been married," Nuriya said.

Who is willing, that he has undergone a change in status without knowing before.

"I don't agree, either, sir. That's not to appreciate Naya as a woman. He has every right to know who he is married to, and when he is married, just want to marry someone's child does not say." Rasti followed.

"Mom, it doesn't matter if women don't have to be present at the time of the marriage contract" replied Hendra.

"Yes, I know about it, too, but I didn't tell you first, so Naya's getting ready, she's the one who's going through the wedding, not us."

"Yes, Sir. It's not good as a woman, you know you've been a wife of people" said Nuriya expressed his objection.

"Naya is my wife, ma'am. Not people." Ares chimed in with a smile.

"Hus, you're a person too, right?" sahut Rasti while hitting the shoulder of his son who was sitting next to him.

"So, let's get married in the hospital" Budiman said.

The man only wants the best for his son, wants Naya to keep her dignity in a household relationship, because it will guarantee her life and future. Moreover, he saw Ares and his family are good people. Until he worries that after Yoni recovers, Naya will have another reason to avoid marriage. After all, Naya knew, Ares was liked by other women, which would likely make Naya avoid even further.

"Why in the hospital, sir? Find a better place, not in a place like that. The marriage of his own son, not like the movies, who married in the hospital because his father was dying of heart disease" Rasti said.

"Mom, this is the will of Mr. Budiman himself" said Hendra.

"Sir, not in the hospital" Nuriya said. The women understand. Because they think marriage should be meaningful.

"Yes, but how's Yoni, who's gonna be there" Hendra said.

"Let Dinda take care" said Rasti.

Finally the conversation ended. They agreed to a marriage contract between Naya and Ares, the next day. They make some preparations, such as preparing clothes, contacting a ruler as a marriage registrar, to make it easier if they want to register a marriage officially, according to state law.

-

The joint meeting between the two partners of the company, who are forging cooperation, has just been completed. Ares rushes to his car to go take care of some necessities. He accidentally met with Rama who also attended a meeting. He greeted Ares as necessary, however he was a partner. But just as he was about to step up to follow his boss, Ares called out to him.

"What's up, sir?" Ask Rama.

"I just want to ask. Do you still eat lunch in your office?"

"Oh, still, sir. Do you want to ask me about Naya? He's on leave, sir. It's been the last few days not going to work."

"Who said it?" Ares asked again.

"Bu Min's. Owner of the cafeteria, who else?"

"If it were about that I knew. Naya's keeping my son in the hospital."

"What's? But why should Naya, sir?" Rama was astonished, as he knew, that there was no connection between Naya and Ares.

"Naya herself wants to, really. And remember, soon I want to marry Naya. So don't try to get attention again with Naya. She already has a husband. Maybe he won't be working in that cafeteria again.".

Deg. Deg. Deg. Rama's heart was getting stronger. Does that mean he doesn't have a chance? Ahq...

"Father doesn't mean Naya, does he, sir?"

Rama knows that Naya is determined not to remarry, because her marriage used to be very painful, even forcing Naya to repeatedly feel a sense of loss.

"No. Why do I mean people to be my wife ... ?"

Getting married a second time is not easy, someone will bring his own trauma, let alone having to rebuild with people who already have children, which is a challenge in itself.

A new status, requiring a new spirit, should really be able to make mass as a lesson, and the future not as an escape. Do not make a second marriage in return for the mass or just want to look happier, because it shows the attitude of people, who have not been able to rise or move on, from mass marriage. Happiness is not a pretense, because the person who lives it feels it.

At that time Rama pensive for a moment, trying to believe Ares's words, he had to really mengikhlaskan Naya. His efforts to be patient with Naya turned out to be enough to make it a lesson, that not all desires must be realized.

"When does Naya want to marry you?"

"Tomorrow."

"What?!"
