Two months have passed, but Ivan's condition has not yet recovered. He was still in his wheelchair. This made Ivan increasingly feel himself worthless at all. Even he was also in the temporary home from his job. And for a time, his post as commander has also been removed.
Seeing her husband always moody, made Cantika feel sad. She also tried to comfort the sadness that was being experienced by her husband.
"Mas, how about we just help my garment business. Than Mas at home even bengong that have thoughts of mas must be so not because, right?"
"If in the garment surely Mas Ivan can eliminate his sense of sadness. I'm sorry, but don't be prejudiced against my intentions."
"I just don't want to look moody or sad anymore. Because I miss my old Ivan. Who likes to joke and laugh cheerfully."
Cantika continued to persuade her husband, until Ivan was willing to accept the advice of Cantika. Because he had thought for a moment about what Cantika had said just now.
"All right, sweetheart. Your advice is very good, I will follow it. After all I also want to be by your side every time."
Cantika was delighted to hear Ivan's willingness to take advice from him. To always accompany himself while in some garment branch.
Even while Ivan was in his wheelchair, Cantika herself took care of Ivan in between her busy life as a businesswoman in the garment field.
Cantika never complained and was always enthusiastic and full of smiles in caring for her husband. He didn't even hire nurses to take care of Ivan.
It was enough for him to take care of Ivan.
"Alhamdulillah, I'm glad to hear it because Mas wants to take advice from me. In this way, we will always be together forever" Cantika said.
Ivan only responded to Cantika's words with his smile. He really did not choose the wrong wife and was very lucky, because Cantika remained in love with him despite the condition of him who was still in his wheelchair.
Although he always routinely undergo therapy leg muscle flexibility, so that he can quickly walk again. But still his condition has not recovered as before.

With great patience, in the morning Cantika slowly swept Ivan into the bathroom for his bath. And also dressed for Ivan.
Just eat what Ivan did himself. Even if he wants to go to the toilet also always ask Cantika for help. Because his legs are completely numb and stiff. Cannot be moved at all.
"Dear, thank you? as long as I can't walk, you always take good care of me. Nothing you complain about at all. I can feel the sincerity you gave me" Ivan said with teary eyes.
"Mas Ivan, what I'm doing is natural for a wife. Where if her husband is sick, the wife must take care of him. And vice versa, if the wife is sick instead of the husband who takes care? when we were not married, you were always by my side. Even though you never said you were helping me?"
"I've never forgotten all your kindness when I was on my own. You are the God of my help. It is precisely me who is grateful to be given a husband who is very tough to answer and also loyal."
"Mas, have you? don't think about not feeling good to me. Because it's the job of a wife to take care of a husband who is sick, right?"
Ivan was more and more moved to hear what Cantika said. Though he often felt if he had failed to become a husband because he could not make a living for Cantika and Salsabila.
Ivan was in fashion unable to contain his sadness. Until a moment at the edge of his eyelids, pooling clear liquid. For a moment Ivan rubbed it so that Cantika would not see him.
Now in his heart, he will try not to be sad.
"I'm sure one day I can walk back. And I will not always remain silent. I can't make a living on the force anymore."
"But at least I can make a living by helping Cantika's garment business. I must not despair of cursing myself.
"The condition of the self in a wheelchair. I must be passionate for the sake of my son and wife. I don't want to make Cantika sad."
Ivan kept encouraging himself in his heart. He does not want to continue to be sad with self-pity.
