The Reinvent Of Love

Eps. 2

After finishing from the bathroom, Salwa also brought her suitcases one by one into the room that was indicated by Arga for her. Why are their rooms separate? Of course, because Salwa and Arga are not the typical newlywed couple who will spend their first night in the same room. Remembering they were married not because they loved each other but because of a promise they had agreed before the late Salma.

Salwa immediately unpacked the contents of her suitcases to be moved to her current room. After he finished moving his clothes, now it was Salwa's personal display that he took out of his suitcase. And suddenly, Salwa's eyes immediately turned soft as he flipped a frame where the picture was plastered of him and his brother Salma who had now gone for good. Salwa gently rubbed the photo on the frame, viewed her photo of herself with her brother with teary eyes. "If at that time brother did not pick me up. Maybe until this moment we can still photograph rich gini again sis..." Salwa could not help but shed tears, she held the frame in her arms while remembering the last incident she had with Salma about three weeks ago.

*Flashback On

That day Salwa who had just arrived at the airport after returning from her study. He was picked up by his beloved sister Salma. Looking at the older brother who seemed to have been waiting for him since. Salwa who still carries a lot of suitcases was unable to hold her sweet smile, she ran with a happy expression approaching her brother and immediately hugged him. "Sister Salma, I miss Big Brother." Salwa hugged Salma who today looks beautiful wearing a navy blouse combined with white pants.

"Ciee... there are miss her brother, usually do not like if her brother is sluggish," said Salma who also actually missed her sister who was chatty but very sweet. Understandably, a few weeks after Salwa graduated, he still could not go home directly. Because Salwa still had to settle outside the city temporarily, until all the affairs of graduation administration were completed. Until finally today Salwa returned home to Jakarta, and decided to work and career in the capital.

"Duh Kak, I'm still a jet leg. what if we go straight back to the house yuk...! I miss my mom and dad too..!" Excited Salwa who could not wait to return to the house she had lived in for a long time.

"Ten, my brother, okay, let's go home...!"

~~

After all the Salwa suitcases were transported into the trunk of the car. Eventually Salma and Salwa returned home in a car driven by Salma himself. On the way this pair of brothers looked very happy, both of them also seemed to throw laughter at each other so loosely. Unfortunately, on the way home, Salwa and Salma had to stop in the middle of the road because in front of them there was a traffic accident that was severe enough, so it disrupted the traffic. "What's up ahead?" Said Salwa who could not see anything because their view was already closed by other riders in front of them who also stopped.

"Most traffic accidents, it's normal that the one that seems to make it so jammed!" The real Salma has begun to be disturbed by the noise of the horns of the vehicle, which is interconnected.

"Continue waiting for the traffic jam, brother?" salwa asked the older brother, who was only two years older than her.

"No, no! Mending our daughter a course through another road! We are also still not trapped in the middle of other vehicles, mending now puter aja direction, rather than having to be trapped for hours here males really," said Salma who then immediately turned the steering wheel, turning the steering wheel, and turned around to find another way home.

~~

Salma turned around and looked for another way. Salma seemed to be speeding around in her car. Salwa who looks not like it also scolded her brother, "Sister Salma, please do not have to speed! We are no longer chased by satpol pp you know...!"

And Salma casually replied, "Yes my little brother who is a brat, this is speeding because the road is quiet. If it is not lonely also will be ''is also ''the"

"O Lord, Brother Salma!" Salwa suddenly shouted, and a few moments later again shouted hysterically. "Salma's brother look out...!" And the accident was inevitable, Salma's car hit the road barrier so hard that both of them were unconscious.

~

After almost two hours, finally Salwa who fainted was conscious. He opened his eyes, his head felt very dizzy, his forehead on his left was bandaged, plus his whole body felt very painful. Salwa looked at the figure of Rania who was nearby who was now turning her back. Rania, who is Salwa's mother, is seen calling someone. And from her voice, Salwa could feel her mother's voice trembling in fear.

"M-Mah..," said Salwa in a voice that sounded raucous.

Rania immediately turned to her daughter who turned out to be conscious. "You're sober, son...?" rania said with teary eyes. Rania immediately hugged the princess who had just come to her senses. "Ma-mama? Mama why, kok nangis...? Salma, how's Ma? He's all right, isn't he?"

Rania could not help her sadness in front of Salwa. He also told Salwa about the situation of the brother who is currently critical and in the ICU room. Unable to hear it, Salwa also shed tears. "Ma... Salwa wants to go to Salma's room" Salwa said along with her sobs. Actually Salwa was not allowed to move much, but seeing her daughter who seemed eager to know the circumstances of her brother, Rania as a mother could not refuse it, and she agreed to take her daughter to Salma's room.

~~

Salwa who was driven by a wheelchair by her mother arrived in front of the ICU room. There is a figure of Ramdani Adnan, who is none other than Ranai's husband and of course Salma and Salwa's father. Ramdani who saw the arrival of his wife and daughter immediately approached Salwa and stroked her hair. "You're sober, honey?" Ramdan asked his pale-looking daughter.

"Salwa is okay Pa.., Papa doesn't have to worry about Salwa."

"Thank God you are fine" Ramdani said, caressing Salwa's face with both hands. Ramdani seemed very grateful that Salwa was conscious, but the look on his face clearly still implied a sadness and fear.

"Pa... What about Salma's sister...?"

"Sister Salma..." Ramdani also told the current state of his first daughter to his wife and youngest daughter.

"So Salma has not been conscious and is still critical?" Hearing that, Salwa seemed to be unable to accept it, her breathing felt tight. Likewise, Rania, as a mother, she now feels very devastated by the state of Salma which is still in the care of doctors. Even so, Ramdani as a head of the household must strengthen his wife and child. He also invited Rania and Salwa to strengthen each other and pray for the healing of Salma.

Moments after Salwa and her parents corroborated each other, a handsome young man wearing a plain white t-shirt with a dark outer blazer appeared. He came to Ramdani in a hurry. "Om, how is Salma?" Said the young man who is none other than Arganata Yudhistira (Arga) who is the lover of Salma who has been dating him for almost two years and plans to get married soon. Ramdani patted the young man and said, "Salma is still being treated by the doctor inside, om ask you doain Salma ya..." As a lover of course Arga can not just calm down, he looks anxious. It was seen from the behavior of Arga who had not sat down and just kept pacing.

Finally after hours of waiting, suddenly the door of the room opened. The doctor and several nurses who were treating Salma came out.

"How's my daughter's doctor?" said Rania who can not stem the curiosity of her daughter's current situation. Suddenly the doctor asked the entire Salma family to gather, and after gathering the doctor did not explain the state of Salma. The doctor instead asked Salma's parents to come into the room to see Salma.

"I also need to go to the doctor!" Sahut Arga who also wants to enter, meet the lover. Unfortunately the doctor only asked Salma's parents to come in, so Salwa and Arga would not want to have to wait outside.

When his parents came in, they saw Salma. Outside Salwa can only wait while continuing to pray for her brother to improve soon, as well as Arga who can only lean while bowing his head on the hospital wall, with his hands crossed in the abdomen. Both Salwa and Arga did not speak to each other at all. Understandably, despite knowing that Arga is her brother's girlfriend, Salwa has only met Arga in person twice, one of which was at her graduation ceremony a month ago.

And after a while of waiting, finally both Salwa and Salma's parents left the room. With my eyes, Rania and Ramdani immediately asked Salwa and Arga to enter to see Salma in the room. Without many words, Arga and Salwa rushed into the room.

~~

Upon arriving inside, Salwa's eyes immediately filled with tears. He saw his brother's condition now as if helpless. Salma's body was filled with medical devices that Salwa himself did not know exactly what the usefulness of these tools were. Salma who was stretched weakly suddenly raised her hand towards Salwa the sign asking for her sister to come closer. Salwa came closer to Salma's bed and clasped her hands. "I'm here, sister..," said Salwa, crying, unable to see the critical condition of the brother. After calling Salwa, Salma asked Arga, her beloved, to come closer to her as well. Arga grabbed Salma's hand and kissed her... "I'm here, baby.you're gonna be fine."

The weakly lying Salma took turns staring at the sister and her lover. With all her might Salma opened her mouth and began to make a sound, "Salwa... "

"Yes, Brother, don't talk much first."

Salma took a breath. "Argha..."

"Dear, what do you want?" Arga clasped Salma's hand while holding back her tears but failed.

"You don't match cry.." Salma joked to Arga with her voice that sounded so weak. Once again Salma took a breath and said, "Mama... Papa... My sister Salwa, and you Argaku dear..."

"Yes..." Everyone was worried to see Salma who was holding back in pain.

"Son, do not force yourself," said Rania did not have the heart to see Salma.

"Can't I ask you to make a promise of one thing" Salma looked at Salwa and Arga alternately.

"Promise what brother, Salwa will be exactly whatever you ask."

"What do you want me to promise Salma?" said Arga gently.

Salma grabbed Salwa's hand and Arga, both wondering in their hearts, felt strange about what Salma was doing.

"What does this mean, brother?" Salwa asked, seeing that her right hand was held together by Arga's. Salma took a slow breath, "I want you to promise me, ka-if after I'm gone."

"What the hell is that talking!" Salwa was followed by her sobs.

"I want you as my sister to marry Arga."

And all who were in the room were tense and shocked to hear Salma's words. How can Salma talk like that, especially how can Salwa and Arga who have met several times must be married.

However, Salma's increasingly critical condition, in the end with a very heavy heart, both Arga and Salwa confirmed Salma's last request shortly before Salma finally exhaled his last breath.

*Flashback off

Salwa placed the frame on the nightstand, looking at a photo of herself and Salma while wiping her tears. "I know it's going to be very difficult for me. But at least I've fulfilled my promise with my sister to marry Arga. And in the future, I will try my best to live this marriage, even though I know in the future all this will definitely not be easy for me or Arga." Salwa took a breath out and then, "Sister Salma, I promise, I will try to make up for all my guilt as I can. I love you so much, sister." Salwa smiled a little.

It may be difficult but I know all this must be done

My prayer from the beginning of agreeing to this marriage remains the same, I just want to try to fulfill what the late brother Salma wanted.
