"Dzen." called Shanum weakly, when he saw the person he loved going out of the room, after he had seen the unexpected scene.
Dzen stopped his steps, then turned around to look at the person who called out to him.
"Yes?"
"Thank you" Shanum said.
"Hem. Get better soon." said Dzen with a sincere smile.
Shanum nodded. Then Dzen stepped out, leaving Shanum with Zio inside.
"Dzen, if you knew, this heart really wants elo Dzen. But what power I, elo never love me." Inner Shanum.
"Shanum." call Zio to wake Shanum who looks at Dzen's departure to the doorstep. Shanumpun.
"You..want to accept me, right?" zio asked, looking closely at Shanum's eyes.
Shanum also looked for sincerity in the pair of Eagle eyes, Shanum was still afraid, and still hesitant.
"I promise Num, I will accept you as you are, all your advantages and disadvantages. Everything was. But I beg you, marry me" said Zio holding Shanum's hand tightly.
"Why is this arrogant boss so different? Should I trust him? Is he really a good guy?" batin Shanum was still doubtful.
"Shanon?" call Zio again.
"Where do you know about my past?" ask Shanum.
"Since we met, I've had a taste for you Num. I found out about you from Mr. Yuda, and then I found out through my confidant, I asked him to find out, about why you didn't want to get married. I sent my confidant to find out about your past. Find the cause of your depression. Until I finally found out why you are so closed to men. Because you feel dirty, it's people you don't know" Zio said.
"What do you know about the prejudice that I'm dirty?"
"I just know, you're a hot-ass kid, your daddy's unemployed. But your father likes to play gambling, which he ends up in a lot of debt. Until reportedly, you were sold to a conglomerate, whose papa happens to owe a lot to that guy" Zio said.
"But I.." said Shanum sadly again.
"You're Num's victim, you're just a victim of male cruelty that you consider papa.
"And me, I'm not going to let my loved ones in misery. I will marry you, with all your advantages and disadvantages" Zio said again.
"You want to marry me?" ask Zio seriously.
"Ehm..."
"Give me some time" Shanum said.
"good. Thanks Num." said Zio.

Outside the ICU,
"Mas Dzen?" greet Mr. Yuda.
"Sir, Mum. Sorry, I am going home first. Thank God Shanum has passed his critical period" said Dzen.
"Rush mas?" ask Mr. Yuda.
"Yes sir, this is we have to go home soon, because we are from Solo, I have to take my friend home immediately" said Dzen.
"Oh, Dzen from Solo?" mia asked in surprise.
"Yes ma'am, when you called, I just got off the Toll" Dzen said.
"Oh my goodness, thank you so much for visiting Shanum" said Ms. Mia.
"Yes ma'am, equally." replied Dzen flatly.
"Then, I say yes ma'am, sir. I hope Shanum gets well soon" said Dzen kindly.
"Yes" replied Mia and Mr. Yuda.
"Tiara, let's go home" said Dzen to invite Pearl.
"Ehm, yes mas." replied Pearl.
"Mother, father, come. I go first." said Pearl kindly.
"Yes mbak. Be careful" said Mia and Mr. Yuda just smiling assent.
While in the car.
"North."
"Yes mas?"
"I'm sorry, you waited a long time" said Dzen sungkan.
"It's easy." replied Pearl.
"Ehm, is this straight to kosan?" ask Dzen again.
"But it's a bit of lunch Ra, better we find food first yam I'm this lager, you can accompany me to eat first?" ask Dzen.
"Yes mas." replied Pearl according to.
Then they stopped at a simple food stall, then they ate there.
"North."
"Yes mas?
"Ehm, did Shanum and his aunt tell you that?" ask Dzen.
"News?" ask Pearl wonder.
"Yes, did they tell you about Shanum?" ask Dzen.
"Yes." Yeah."
"What are they telling ?" ask Dzen curiously.
"Ehm. mas Dzen, Shanum's mom needs a Dzen. Preferably, Dzen mas focus with mbak Shanum alone, for his recovery" said Pearl trying hard, although his heart trembled.
"What do you mean Ra?" ask Dzen.
"Mas. Tiara's still in college, mission crosshairs. There is a black treaty on white, where Tiara is not allowed to marry before graduation. If Dzen wanted Tiara, he would still have to wait for Tiara to graduate, about two more years. While mbak Shanum, the age is very mature, what should mas Dzen the same mbak Shanum aja mas?" ask Pearl.
"What do you mean Tiara?"
"Shanum likes it the same way, right? Even Shanum almost killed himself because he wasqq1q already love the same mas. Mas Dzen mending mengkahin mbak Shanum aja mas, for the sake of healing mas." said Pearl with a corner of the heart that feels sliced.
"But Ra."
"Love doesn't have to have a mas. Likewise with mas, do not have to have Dzen mas Tiara, because there is still more priority than Tiara mas. And he is Shanum's mbak." said Pearl softly but managed to hit Dzen.
"I will keep this trust. I will keep this heart, only for the girl I love. Her father has put his trust in me, and I will keep that trust as much as I can." said Dzen mantab. The pearls that were originally just looking down, he looked up at Dzen's handsome face. Not long, he was back down.
"But Shanum..."
"There's already a man who loves him as sincerely as he does, and is ready to take care of him with all his body" said Dzen busy with his food.
"Mas mean?" tanya Pearl did not understand.
"The man who entered Shanum's room earlier was a good man, who was loyal to Shanum, he loved Shanum very much, although he was not loved by Shanum, he did not care" said Dzen
"What do you mean by Dzen, Mr Zio?" ask Pearl with an erratic feeling.
Dzen nodded, making the corner of the Pearl's heart feel slashed. I don't know what that feeling is, obviously, Mutiara now understands, that her handsome lecturer will never look at her more. Pearl is just a hard working country girl. And Zio, it's still ice cold, only Shanum can melt it.
There are hopes of a extinct Pearl, including her love clapping one hand, but Pearl still tries to hide it. Because, from tomorrow he must always go to Zio's house to teach Suyamti.
"North."
"Eh, yes, my mom?"
"Have you finished eating?"
."Thank God, it's a mas."
"We go home now." take Dzen.
"Yes, um."
Dzen and Mutiarapun had finished eating, then they continued to boarding Pearls to deliver Pearls.
Dzen helped bring Pearl's things to boarding.
"Mas Dzen."
"Yes?"
"Thank you very much."
"Yes, equally. But I'm sorry, I stayed in the hospital for a long time."
"It's a problem."
"You take good care of yourself, Ra."
"InshaaAllah. Mas Dzen too." said Pearl. Dzenpun smiled happily.
"I'll go home first."
"Yes mas. Careful."
"Okey, InshaaAllah."
"Assalamualaikum." Dzen's greeting.
"Wa'alaikumsalam." replied Pearl.
