Alina walked absentmindedly along the hospital hallway.
His gaze was blank and his mind was still drifting into his conversation that had just happened with the doctor who was taking care of his grandmother.
"Your grandmother suffered from a rare disease, namely myelodisplasia syndrome or also called praleukaemia. This occurs when the bone marrow produces abnormal or defective blood cells. Over time these blood cells will increase more to beat normal or healthy blood cells. This is what will later cause some other problems in body conditions such as anemia, excessive bleeding and so on"
It was then that Alina found out that her grandmother had lied to her about her illness. Hearing that his eyes kept on glazing.
"Is my grandmother most likely to be cured of the disorder?"
"Of course we'll try our best for it. Because the case that occurs in your grandmother is 'de Novo mylodysplastic syndromes' which belongs to a type of unknown cause, usually easier to overcome than the cause is known. It's just..."
"What is doc?"
"Just do what makes her happy and don't argue with her too much. I say this because after all the happiness and psychological calmness of a patient certainly has a big contribution to his psychic. Conversely, a bad patient's psychological will only affect the patient's psychics and worsen his condition. So for now please do your best to keep your grandmother calm and give her positive energy in undergoing some future treatment"
Actually there are still many things that Alina does not understand from the explanation of the doctor that for ordinary people seems to be a little difficult to understand.
And there are still many things that he wants to ask the doctor, it's just that time constraints and the doctor also has to deal with other patients finally he can only postpone it.
But there is one important point that is very clear by the doctor.
To do anything that affects the psychological patient to be better and positive with his happiness, obey his will and not argue too much with him.
Alina pondered for a moment in her mind.
With a disease like this, her grandmother could easily threaten her to accept arranged marriages.
It was just that her grandmother had not taken advantage of this situation at all and had only chosen to plead with her, just like on that night.
'But grandma really wants to see you get married'
Just as Alina was standing at the door of her grandmother's ward. It stopped.
His hands immediately rubbed both sides of his already wet cheeks. Adjusting her breathing slowly, Alina tried to ease the emotional pressure of the sadness within her.
Because Grandma lied to her about her illness. So suppose until this moment he does not know anything.
"Grandma forgive me!"
Alina pulled up a chair and sat down. His face was full of regret.
"No problem, it's Grandma's fault! No grandmother should be forcing Grandma's will on you too much"
Clenched both hands over her thighs. Alina tried hard to say what she really did least want to say.
"No! Maybe grandma's right, I should try it"
Finally after a struggle against the big ego within her, Alina managed to say her.
The statement surprised Erina who still did not understand what her granddaughter meant.
"Tried?"
Alina heavily nodded her head. Forcing his lips to smile wide even though it was actually fake.
"Isn't Grandma arranging an arranged marriage for me?"
"D-yes"
"I accepted the matchmaking that Grandma arranged for me"
Alina maintained her fake smile almost almost making her pair of eyes narrow at how strong she was forcing to smile.
"Really?"
The woman stared at him with her mouth half open. It was as if he did not believe what he had just heard.
"Why did Alin suddenly agree to it?"
Tukas Alina with a serious look.
"Don't! Grandma won't ask anymore"
Alina can see the face of her grandmother who looks very happy and excited. His old eyes shone much brighter and his pale face looked even more lively and fresh.
Alina swallowed the bitterness and emotional turmoil of unhappiness in her heart. Hide all that by smiling.
For the happiness of his grandmother he was willing to sacrifice his greatest feelings and principles.
In the end, the path of destiny still leads her to the bond of marriage and men.

"The situation of rumors about you outside is growing very rapidly. I can't control it anymore! Forgive my incompetence" Bakri said, bowing in regret.
Zayyad stood in front of the company wall made of glass. Both of his hands were put in his pants pocket. His gaze continued to pierce through the glass, looking down. Watching thousands of vehicles passing by, billions of busy people on the move, and the hustle and bustle of a very crowded metropolitan city.
"You've worked hard, no need to apologize!" Said later. After staying long enough.
Slowly he turned his body, staring at the assistant who was his personal secretary.
He could see his tired face and regret.
"But sir if this keeps happening, maybe you can be removed from your position"
Zayyad. Very quiet and far away. Like watching the surface of a lake without ripples.
"The rumor was made to bring me down" Zayyad said. There was no change in expression on his cotton-white face. He did not feel panicked at all.
Bakri saw his boss who looked ordinary, he felt confused. Do not know whether it is the appearance of someone who has resigned to the situation or maybe vice versa. It was hard to judge such a thing from someone as expressionless as his boss.
"Sir, soon a meeting between shareholders will be held. They're gonna question this"
"Have you had lunch?"
Ask Zayyad casually. It was as if he did not care at all about what Bakri had just said.
"But sir" Bakri wouldn't have expected at a time like this, his boss even asked him for lunch.
"Go!"
That's a firm word. When his body turned around, it turned back to face the outside world. It was the delivery of intent, that he did not want rejection.
In the end Bakri with a heavy heart died his boss and went to lunch as ordered.
Zayyad who lived alone in the room had absolutely no intention of having lunch.
Taking his cell phone he immediately contacted his grandfather.
"Grandfather"
"I agree to the matchmaking you arranged for me"
"I'm serious!"
"No need! Just hurry up the wedding day the reception can follow"
"Just do it in the hospital"
"Grandfather just calm down! I'll take care of everything"
Call ended.
