99 Love for You
Cecilia's Decision

Alvian immediately went to the city of Solo when he found out his brother, Arif, was hospitalized for a heart attack.

Alvian felt very guilty for hurting her brother.

Along the way he kept on cursing at himself. Nayla who faithfully accompanied him continued to pacify Alvian.

"It's not your fault, Mommy. Don't keep blaming yourself. We just pray for the best. I hope Arif is okay." Nayla continues to convince Alvian to remain calm.

Arriving at the hospital, Arif is still unconscious. Sari who always accompanied also continued to cry, especially when she saw Alvian coming. Alvian was devastated to see the situation of her sister-in-law, as well as her brother. He regretted making his loved ones sick like this.

Many times he apologized to Sari, kneeling before her. Sari assures me that this is not Alvian's fault. His sister had a long history of heart disease.

Yeah, just like her brother used to be, Alif. He also has heart disease. She died and made Nayla a widow.

Alvian said to Sari, that she will obey all her brother's will. Parting with Cecilia.

"I'm going to divorce Cecilia, Ma'am. I-i promise. As long as Mas Arif can recover, I will do anything for him. I've lost my brother, I don't want to lose him again, Mommy." Alvian knelt before Sari.

Sari still continued as she pleased, and shook her head. He still can't say anything. Sari set her breath so she could talk even though her tears were still flowing.

"Don't do that, Al. You don't divorce Cecilia. No need to obey Masmu's will. I'm sure one day you'll understand. Believe it." And their cries broke. Alvian, Sari, and Nayla.

...***...

"It's Alvian" Shasha said, handing Cecil a large brown envelope when they met at AJ Foods' cafe.

"What's this?" Cecil scrunched his forehead. And opened it right away.

"I'm sorry, Cil. Forgive Alvian too. He could not hand over the letter directly. Because now he's in Solo. Her brother is sick."

"A divorce lawsuit?" Cecil said in disbelief.

"Alvian signed there. It's your turn to sign it. And give it to Bima to take care of." replied Shasha with her casual style. Shasha is not the kind of person who likes to talk.

No notice of clear granules flowing on Cecilia's cheeks. "Thank you for delivering this" said Cecil.

"I don't know what to say. I don't want to see you two split up. But, you know how the Alvian family is. Alvian won't be able to refute her brother's orders. Alvian will see you soon after his business in Solo is over. I hope you can be patient with all of this. Then, excuse me. Thanks for the time." Then Shasha left Cecilia who remained still. His lips shook with the cry.

So it's your decision, ma'am... Alright...  Maybe this is the best. And Cecilia's tears are flowing.

...***...

Cecilia met Bima in her office after returning home from work.

"What is this, Cil?" Ask Bima.

"You open it yourself." Cecilia replied with a flat expression. He's actually still in shock. But trying hard in front of Bima.

"Divorce papers? So Alvian's seriously doing this?"

Bima had previously known about Alvian's plan, but he did not think that it would be this soon Alvian's decision.

"Do you know about this?" Cecilia looked at Bima with a full glance.

"W-yeah, I already know. A few weeks ago, Alvian called me on the phone." Bima answered a little nervously.

"So, everything she told me was a lie. He said he wouldn't divorce me."

Bima sighed. He saw a look of sadness implied on Cecilia's face.

"She said she changed her mind after meeting Mr. Rangga."

"The ladder? Who's Rangga?"

"He's my boss in the office."

"Since when did Alvian know your boss?"

"I don't know either, Bim." Cecilia sighed.

"Then, what are you going to do?"

"Of course I have to sign this letter too right?." quickly Cecil took the lawsuit paper from Bima's hands.

Bima was shocked and recaptured it.

"Don't do anything out of emotion!"

"I'm not emotional, Bim!"

"You're emotional, Cil! Your heart and mind are out of sync. Don't be rash! Think well first. This is your relationship with Alvian. Her brother or whoever it is has no right to interfere in your affairs."

"You think Mas Alvian can make his own decision? No, Bim. Mas Alvian could not escape the influence of his brother. You know that yourself, right?"

"Y-yes but still you don't rush to make a decision. Like old times. You've suddenly filed for divorce from Alvian for no apparent reason."

"My reason is clear, Bim!!" Cecilia began to raise her tone.

"What's? You think I believe that you want to separate from Alvian because he married Nayla? That's not the real reason, is it?"

Cecilia began to be cornered. "L-yes, that's not why." Answer Cecil.

"Then what's the reason? You promised you'd tell me. Now let's say it!"

"I-I can't tell you right now, Bim."

"Yes already. You better go home now. Think of it all with a cold head. If you calm down, you come back here and I'll take care of everything. I promise I'll help you, whatever your decision will be."

Cecilia nodded. Bima approached Cecil and hugged him. "Patience, Cil. Rest, you look tired."

"Yes, Bim. Thank ye. I'll say yes."

"Be careful on the road."

...***...

Cecilia drove the car slowly. Even though his heart and mind are troubled, logic must still be used. Cecil was confused whether to go home and tell his mother everything, or he had to leave for a while before heading home. There was only one name that could calm her down at this moment, Umi Isma.

"How are you, son? Why does it look lethargic?" ask Umi Isma.

"Thank God then. What was? Is there another problem?"

"Mas Alvian is suing for my divorce, Umi." That was all Cecilia could say, as only a cry was heard afterwards.

Umi Isma hugged him. Tranquilize. And asked Cecil to take ablution water, so that his mind more calm.

"Hows it? Is it calmer?"

"Yeah Umi. Thank you." Thank you."

"Listen, Son. When you have problems, remember that you have the All-Everything God. Leave everything to Him. Ask Him. Crying is okay, sadness is okay, because that is the essence of man. But don't drag on. Sadness will only lead you to the negative. Surrender to God, ask for His guidance. God willing, God will show you the best for your life.

Umi's message is only one, when you feel sad about losing one love, remember Nak. That God has 99 great loves for you."

Cecilia returned to shed tears and hugged Umi Isma.

"Thank you, Umi. Thank you." Thank you."

...***...

A few days later...

"How are you related to Nak Alvian?  How many weeks he hasn't called you. He didn't come here either. You guys are okay, right?" maria asked Cecilia during breakfast.

Cecilia stopped for a moment. Thinking the right words for her mother.

"His sister is sick, Mom. Hospitalized."

"Yes God. What pain? Why didn't you tell me from yesterday. Take mom to see him. After all, Mom is their besan."

"Not treated here, ma'am. But in Solo."

"Keep you didn't go there to see him? He's still your brother-in-law."

"Mom----Actually--There's something I want to tell mom."

Maria has been catching a strange twist on her daughter's attitude lately.

"What's wrong?" ask Mary seriously.

"Emmm, Mr. Alvian... Her... File for divorce, ma'am."

Maria's body felt weak. He felt that his daughter was hiding something from him.

"I'm sorry Cecil, ma'am. Cecil can just tell mom right now." Cecilia's crying broke.

Mary approached her daughter and hugged her.

"Patience, Son. Patience." That's all Maria can say.

*Interra Bima Lawyer Office*

"Have your mind calmed down, Cil?"

"Yes, Bim. It's been. I've thought about it carefully."

"What's your decision?"

Cecilia sighed. "I'll sign the lawsuit."

"You sure?"

"Yes, Bim."

"really sure?"

"Yes Bim."

"Have you thought well?"

"Yes Bim. I even have a spiritual advisor."

"Wow!!! Great you Cil."

"Where's the letter?"

"Attent. Are there no tears?"

"Bi... I've been crying for days. Do I have to cry again now?"

"You're too tough, Cil. Or the... Just pretending to be tough?"

"Hurry now! Where's letters?"

"Propsy. I'll take it first. I put it in a safe with a combination number unknown to you." Bima sauntered away towards the safe room.

Cecilia smiled knot. "You thought I'd come here in the middle of the night and get the letter. That so?"

"Who knows! I was just on guard." Bima's voice from inside the safe room.

Bima carried the divorce papers from Alvian very carefully.

"Hurry up and bring it here!!!"

"Prophey!! This is trust. I have to take good care of her."

"Alright, Mr. Bima. It's up to you."

Bima handed Cecil the lawsuit paper and gave him a ballpoint pen.
