Nathan puts Keysa's belongings on the couch first, and then brings Keysa closer to the bed where his mother lies to be introduced. Beside the mattress, Addison was sitting while rubbing his wife's hair
gently. Addison's gaze seemed not to want to waste a second of his time
to turn away from his wife's face.
“Ma, this is Keysa” Nathan said
Aunty Christin's condition still looks very weak, even to speak or nod his hand he is still not able to. Christin's aunt's body is seen fitted with several medical devices, an infusion attached to her arm and a ventilator that is still attached
in the face of aunt Christin. But aunt Christin still trying to greet Keysa
smiling at Keysa. Aunt Christin knows Keysa
since a long time from the story of her husband Addison, especially Keysa was also betrothed
with Nathan then and as time went on Aunt Christin grew more and more
knowing Keysa even deeper because Nathan often told Keysa about his mother. Actually after the matchmaking that was canceled that time, Aunt Christin continued to hope and pray that Keysa could be her daughter-in-law.
Aunty Christin was happy to meet directly with the figure of the woman who became the idol of the boy.
“Hallo aunt..i Keysa” said Keysa while yapping the hands of aunt Christin who drooped weakly.
Again aunt Christin, smiling at Keysa and raising a little hand like she was about to call Keysa to come closer to him. Keysa saw that later
step on his feet closer to Aunt Christin and spontaneously direct
holding aunt Christin's hand.
“It looks like mama Nathan is happy with your presence nak” said om Addison
Keysa who was at a loss had to say what could only be a clumsy laugh. Suddenly the sound of Nathan's phone rang so that the owner of the phone walked towards the table where
cellphone located.
“Pa, Key. Soon I pick up the phone first” said Nathan pamit, then go out of the ward.
After Nathan leaves, Aunt Christin suddenly seems speechless but makes no sound, she seems to want to talk but Keysa doesn't understand what's going on
said aunt Christin.
“Ma, no already forced. Mama much-many rest first, later after mama recovers new mama can chat as much” said om Addison
“Iya aunty, aunty much-just rest yes let quickly heal”
But aunt Christin is still trying to be able to speak to Keysa.
“N...t...an” said aunt Christin with her severed breath.
“Nathan aunt? Want me to call his Nathan? A minute tan”
Just as Keysa was about to turn around and go to call Nathan out, he came to a halt
aunt Christin's grip still hasn't let go of her hand. That thing makes
Keysa did not leave and turned to look at Aunt Christin.
“P..pa” says aunt Christin
Om Addison who from the beginning had understood what was wanted by his wife immediately took a bag from the top of the nightstand next to the patient's mattress, then reached into the contents of the bag. And Addison took out a small brown box, the design of the box was simple but looks very luxurious and elegant. Addison held the small box for a while and looked at it before giving it to Keysa.
“Make me om?” asked Keysa who looked confused when om Addison gave the box to him.
Addison nodded his head, and Keysa finally accepted the city with some hesitation. Keysa wondered why he was suddenly given a gift,
but today is not his birthday.
“Just open nak” replied Addison
Curious about what was inside the small box, Keysa opened it slowly. Keysa was startled to mix with confusion when he saw the contents of the box were two couple rings, which from the look of the wedding ring, like a wedding ring,
“The ring? Meaning om?” Keysa ventured to ask questions to answer his confusion.
Addison then took out an envelope from the bag and gave it to Keysa again.
“This what else om?” ask Keysa
“You will understand the meaning of all this, after reading this letter nak”
Keysa took the letter from Addison's hand and read it. While reading the letter, the look of a shocked face on Keysa's face, after finishing reading the letter written by aunt Christin, Keysa immediately stared at om
Addison asked for more explanation.
“Ta...nte, moh.on” says aunt Christin stammering.
Keysa stared at Aunt Christin at a glance, as if he did not know what to do Keysa could only stay still in his place without saying anything.
Keysa is currently really confused about what to take, on the one hand he has never refused this matchmaking and wants to reject it again. And on his side again
also worrying about aunt Christin's condition and not wanting anything bad to happen with her mother Nathan. Seeing the condition of aunt Christin who was so weak and saw the look on the face of om Addison who showed a pleading look made Keysa more unwilling to refuse again.
I want Keysa to cry at this time, why should he be the one to be faced with a tough decision like now. Keysa tries to control himself to stay
calm down, and try to think well before making a decision.
“What if I reject it? Will it affect aunt Christin?” keysa's mind
“If I accept it and marry Nathan, can I be happy and love Nathan? Should I just reject it? No. No I can't refuse it I don't want to
aunt Christin's condition is getting worse, after all, Nathan has been good to me” Keysa's mind
Keysa's mind was filled with questions and arguments that made him even more confused about what to destroy.
“Om, please same you nak” said Addison kali while resting on the floor.
“Om, don't be like this” said Keysa who crouched down because he felt bad while trying to bring Addison up.
“I asked for time to call papa”
After getting permission from Addison and Christin, Keysa went out of the room to call his father. When Nathan returned to the room he did not find Keysa there.
"Keysa go where's pa?"
"Keysa, let's go out for a second, son. He wants to call his family”
“Ooh” Nathan said while nodding his head.
“Papa want to come out for a while, you take care of mama ya”
“Iya pa”
Addison deliberately went out to meet Keysa, he wanted to explain something to Keysa. When Keysa was busy talking to his papa through a cell phone on the other end
the hallway room, Keysa suddenly a little shocked because of the presence of Addison who followed him out.
“Om, can I talk to your papa for a moment?”
Keysa nodded and gave his phone to Addison. Addison then walked and gave distance to Keysa who was sitting. After finishing talking with his best friend, Addison returned to Keysa and gave
his phone to Keysa.
