Meanwhile in the hospital.

“Addison? You're it” said papa Adam to make sure when he saw a middle-aged man who was the same age as him enter his room.

“Yaa it's me Addison, your old friend” replied Addison.

“Come to Addison, I miss you so much. It's been a long time since we've met”

“how are you Adam? how can this happen?” addison asked after hugging a glimpse of his old friend lying down.

“my situation is much better Addi, I don't know if all this happened just like that.Oh yes how can you know that I am being treated here when we never exchanged news after a few years” said papa Adam.

“incidentally my son was also being treated here and when I came to see him accidentally I heard a doctor was saying your name. Then I made sure of it by asking the receptionist whether the doctor-named Adam was my best friend or not. And finally fate brings us back here” explained Addison.

“your son? Are you married? Haha I didn't expect an Addison Benedict who used to not believe in marriage. Finally consumed by his own nonsense”

“entah la Adam since I moved abroad, suddenly I met a woman who was able to make my heart vibrate”

“i am very curious about the woman who is able to make the heart of an Addison can vibrate. Did he come with you? I'd love to meet that great woman”

Addison did not answer and simply bowed.

“heii, why is your face suddenly sad like that?” ask Adam

“di—a is currently sick Adam, lung cancer” said Addison and did not feel a drop of tears fell.

“i am sorry for what happened to your wife, you have to stay strong Addi” said papa Adam while patting his best friend's arm.

“thank you Dam” Addison said while wiping away her tears.

“what about your son's circumstances?”

“The situation has improved”

“thank goodness then. In which hospital was your wife treated? I'll come visit after I get out of hospital”

“my wife was taken care of in the Netherlands, we've been living there Adam. It's just that the youngest son returned to Indonesia to take care of his company that is experiencing problems here. But only a few days he arrived here I have received news that he is being treated so I came home here”

“if you're here who accompanied your wife there?”

“my daughter, she who accompanied my wife during my time here”

Tok.shock.

“pah this earlier I have bought papa” favorite fruit said aunt Lydia who was not aware of Addison's presence in the room.

“ma knows this my friend Addison” said papa Adam

“eh sorry pa, mama did not know that papa again has a guest” said aunt Lydia

“Addison” Addison said as she extended her hand.

“Lydia”

Addison then looked at his best friend with a questionable gaze about who was the woman named Lydia, and Adam realized the meaning of his best friend's gaze because of what Addison knew first Adam married Indira.

“oh this is Lydia sister of Indira as well as wife I” said Adam

“istrii? Didn't you marry Indira?” ask Addison in shock

“Yes I did marry Indira, but before Indira died she gave me a will to marry her sister so that someone takes care of the children”

“i am so sorry for the passing of Indira yes. Sorry I didn't know before this sad news”

“It’s okay Di, at that time I did not know what to ngabarin you through what Di. I also had time to come to your old house but said you have moved”

“Damm..” call Addison

“Ya, what's in?”

But Addison was silent and glanced at Lydia.

“pah mama out for a while yes, there is something you want to buy was forgetfulness” said Lydia who realized the meaning of Addison's gaze.

“ yes ma cauti”

Then Aunt Lydia left the nursery.

“What's up? Why do you look hesitant?”

“Damm, I heard you have a daughter?”

“Yes I do have a daughter named Keysa Maheswari and she also studied in the Netherlands, in your country of residence Di. Later I'll tell Keysa that he has Om in Holland”

Suddenly Addison, who was sitting on the side of the bed where Adam was lying, immediately grasped the arm of Adam with both hands.

“Dam, please marry your daughter to my youngest son. I don't know who else to ask but you. I beg Dam please help me this time” Addison pleaded.

“Aaapaaaa you said? You asked my daughter to marry your youngest son? Don't be crazy Addi. There's no way I'm marrying my daughter to a man she doesn't know at all. I'm sorry I can't help you” said papa Adam in a raised voice while forcibly letting go of Addison's grasp.

“i beg Adi help me this time, I really have been frustrated to ask who else to help. I beg Dam. I promise I will do anything as long as you help me. I beg”

this time Addison was already on the floor with both hands attached, to plead with Adam.

“please Di, help me. I just want to grant my wife's last wish before she's picked up the almighty. I beg Di hiks...hikss...hikss...hikss” Addison said in tears.

“you must not say that, you must be sure that your wife can still recover, instead of giving up like this”

“hikss..hiks not Dam me instead of giving up, I still hope that my wife can recover. Ta-ppi .. hiks..hiks..hiks doctor says he has terminal lung cancer and the time will not be long hikss..hikss so I beg Dam help me grant my wife's request to see our youngest son marry”

Papa Adam was silent when he heard the words of his friend while weighing the request of Addison, suddenly his memory returned to revolve when he lost his wife first, how sick and broken the heart of papa Adam used to be. And when he saw Addison he was like to see himself where he used to be when Indira's mother asked to marry his sister and father Adam's extended family opposed him but at that time what Adam's father thought was just how he could to fulfill that last request even though he had to plead to his extended family. As is also what Addison is doing now he is willing to do anything to meet the request of his wife. That's what made Adam's father feel compassion and touch.

“Alright I will try to talk first with Keysa, but I can not promise anything, what will later be Keysa's decision. Already you do not beg while moaning like that again”

“thank you Dam, really I am very grateful to you and will reply to everything later” Addison said while holding the hand of papa Adam.
