When he could not sleep he came out of his room, apparently in the middle room there were still Dad and his guests who came from the city. His father's guest was a student of the Father in High School. The man came intending to attend his wedding.he smiled a little awkwardly as he looked at the grown man in front of his father.

For a moment Bella saw the people who were staying overnight at her house while helping to prepare for her wedding.

“Dad, not sleeping?” he asked as he walked up to his father and sat down beside him.

“You yourself why haven't you slept?”

“Can't sleep, Dad!”

“Oh Yes, this is introducing. This is Dad's student when Dad taught in town.” The man reached out his hand and greeted Isabella.

“Alexander.”

“Isabella, just call me Ibel. Dad often stories about Brother and Abang's achievements at school,” Bella said when she gave up her hand. His father used to talk about Alex.

“Abang Alex to here equals who?” ask Bella.

“Self.”

“Oh ... I think Brother's wife and son were invited.”

Alex only smiled faintly considering his two wives had not given him any children. Yes ... Alex does have two wives, his first wife is a career woman and they are arranged only for the continuity of the company relationship and they do not love each other. Alex's second wife is the one Alex loves. They were dating during school and his second wife also did not mind being a second wife. His second wife also knew that Alex was married to his first wife just because he was betrothed. Love is blind, no matter if it belongs to someone else. Still want to be second.

“If I am a personal Bang, she wants .. so housewife only. Waiting for the husband to come home from work, ready for the needs of the husband, cook, take care of the child. But later what about my students in kindergarten. I am a kindergarten teacher here.“

Alex laughed at Bella. Alex did not expect the desire of the girl in front of him to be so simple.

“Ibel .. already there rest. Tomorrow's your wedding day.” His father told him to rest.

“Ya already ... Dad also rested. Brother too. Ibel to the room first. ” Bella got up from her seat and smiled towards Alex then headed for her room.

In the morning, Bella gets ready to dress up as a bride. Although makeup is simple and uses a simple kebaya, it looks so beautiful.

The father smiled to see his daughter wearing a wedding dress. Finally his task of looking after the child was almost completed according to his promise to his late wife.

Time keeps passing. However, the groom-to-be never came. Bella repeatedly contacted her husband and family's cell phone, but no one picked her up. Bella and her father are getting restless, and so are the guests at Bella's house. Alex who also saw the anxiety of Bella's father, he tried to calm her.

“Sabar, Sir. Maybe on the road jammed.” Alex rubbed Mr. Husain's shoulder. The old man was very nervous.

“Iya Nak Alex. Father is okay.”

Bella's screams in her room. Husain, who heard his daughter's screams, grew increasingly agitated and hurriedly ran to his room followed by Alex and some guests.

“Couldn't...! It's impossible.!” scream Bella.

“What is this. Bella why?” asked Husain when he saw his daughter crying in the arms of his best friend Aisyah.

“What's Ice?” ask Husain to Bella's best friend.

“That's Wak , Mas Hadi's entourage was hit by a train. All the family members were dragged far away. All dead and bodies barely recognized.” Aisyah conveyed it very carefully. But Mr. Husien immediately suffered a heart attack and immediately unconscious.

“Daddy ..!” Call Bella to embrace the father. Alex who also spontaneously approached Bella and Pak Husain.

“Please do not swarm. Call your doctor or medical personnel!” alex said to all of him, he also panicked to see his teacher fainted.

Aisyah tried to contact the medical personnel in the village via her mobile phone. Alex tried to give first aid.punched Husain's shirt and pressed Mr. Husain's chest several times.

“Before mantri sir comes here!” Said Aisyah when she finished sending a message to the village mantri.

“What is the hospital here far?” ask Alex.

“Lumayan Sir. About three hours drive by car.”

“Ah ... ****!” he cursed and continued to give CPR on the chest of Husain.

“Dad ... wake up well! It's Ibel yeah. Don't leave Ibel Well ..” Bella cries bitterly to see her father unconscious.

Before long Mr. Husain woke up and opened his eyes. Weakly he grabbed Bella's hand.

“Daddy ... Dad is conscious.” Bella is a little confused to see her father because the father also grabbed Alex's hand.

“Daddy's life is not long.” Husain caught a glimpse of Bella and then turned his gaze toward Alex. “Alex ... You hand over my daughter to you. Marry her and take care of her.”

“But sir. I've...”.

“Bella doesn't have anyone Alex Boy. Promise me to keep looking after Ibel.” Mr. Husien took his breath.

“Daddy ... Don't leave Ibel, Ibel who if Dad goes.” Ibel pulled Husain's head in his lap carefully and continued to cry.

Alex stared for a moment at Bella, he also pity but where might he marry the beautiful girl to be his third wife. Impossible?

“Nak Alex .. promise to you. I know you already have a wife. Take care of Bella and marry Bella in front of the body of Mr.” Mr. Husain squeezed Alex's hand for approval.

“Good sir I will marry Bella.” That's all I can say from Alex's lips. Husien immediately breathed his last breath and died in Bella's lap.

“Dad..!” bella hugged her father's body.

“Dad...,” Bella who was soon unconscious.

“Bella,” strangled Aisyah and then supported Bella's body.

Alex gets up and he goes out to think about whether or not he should marry Bella. But if not, he has already promised with the late Mr. Husain.

The new mantri sir arrived directly at the guest who came to Bella's room. The man checked Mr. Husain. The mantri no longer found any signs of life in Husain and just sighed resignedly.

“Pak Husain is dead.”

“Innalilahi...,” says everyone in Bella's room.

Bella's happy day turned to grief. He had to watch his father die on his wedding day. Her grief grew when her future husband also died. He can only go with everything.
