Day by day Tito was getting closer to Mira. Mira's parents also warmly welcomed Tito's good intentions. Mira can only follow the passage of time.
Being a faithful woman who pursues love and feels the pain of love clapping one hand makes her heart harden. Even Mira doesn't believe in love anymore.
The day was planned after practice from the hospital, Mira, Tito and their families gathered for lunch.
Mira left the hospital with heavy steps. He doesn't know the direction is right or wrong. All he knew was that his specialist education was over, his wkds period was also over. The age she is now in head 3, the time she kept the promise of her parents, married.
Before Mira promises her parents, Mira will introduce the man she loves. But until this moment his love still claps one hand. Mira eventually gives up on her parents. And today's lunch both their parents discuss their engagement and wedding day.
Tito picked her up at the hospital. Gery silently watched and saw him. Lying that Gery is ordinary, somehow it feels unwilling, Gery still wants Mira to chase after him, obsess and devote time to him.
But now even as Gery sits on a bench near the road Mira runs through, Mira does not turn her head, care or greet her. Mira just walked by. The net is looking for someone standing next to a parked car in front of the hospital.
"Have the practice finished?" tanya Tito gently opened the car door
"It's" Mira answered flatly and then got into their car to the restaurant where their family had gathered.
Gery silently sighed. He bowed limp, Gery realized he had been wasting Mira all this time. Mira should be happy.
If you can be asked and told to choose Gery wants to treat Mira's pain and make amends with Mira by loving Mira all over the heart. Standing next to Mira. Loyal to her as Mira has done all along.
But time has passed. As a friend, the best thing Gery can do right now is to let Mira be happy. Gery can only pray, Tito is really the best man who can make Mira happy.
The fate of Gery himself. Gery does not want to think about it, whatever the fate and will of God. Gery wants to focus on his hospital. After all, the soul mate will come alone, as people say.
Gery gets up from his seat, walking towards the central surgical installation room. Do his job, finish his job which is only a month away.
Yes, one more month Gery will leave the new RSUD how many years it stands. Leaving the time and place where he partnered with Mira. Leaving behind all the memories of Alya. Somehow at the end of his wkds time Gery had to meet a painful time in his life.

Lunch is over, Mira and Tito's engagement date is set. Mira's parents agree that Mira and Tito are engaged 1 day after Mira's wkds period is over. Throughout the gathering Mira was silent, did not comment but also did not refuse.
"Well, the best is Pah, Mah" said Mira pasrah. Mira's focus is not on the content of her family's conversations. Except for the message from the theme. Intan asked him to meet.
"Intan's taking me out to eat? What's for?" murmured Mira was misfocused.
"Darling, Papa Mama came home first!" mama Mira. They all came home.
"Yes Aunty, let me take Mira" replied Tito beside Mira.
"Alright, thank you, Nak Tito" replied Mama Mira.
While Mira just kept smiling and nodding. Then they kissed the hands of their parents. Now there are Mira and Tito.
"Mir" call Tito to Mira.
"Yes Mas"
"We're soon engaged. May I call you by another call" Tito asked
"Huh? What does it mean, Mas? What call?" ask Mira in shock.
Mira feels it's an exaggeration, they're adults, for nothing like that. They are no longer teenagers who have just fallen in love. They are already adults who live a life based on purpose, calculating the value of reality and profit and loss. Not about love anymore.
"Yes let us get closer, and get used to it" Tito replied again.
"It seems like there's no need for you. Oh yes Mira has an appointment with a friend at the cafe estela. Can you take her there?" answer Mira to Tito.
"Yes" Tito replied.
Tito wants to try his best to take Mira's heart. Trying to really have Mira, his whole heart and physique. Tito knew from Mira's attitude and gaze, Mira was always not focused on presenting her heart and mind.
After traveling for a while Tito and Mira get to the cafe Estela. The cafe where Mira, Gery and Alya met and made a deal, they just promised to be good friends. The place where, Mira determined and began to realize to give up from Gery. But why remember it still makes him sick, even though there is Tito next to him.
"Why did you choose this place? Huuf" Inner Mira looked around.
"Thank you Mas" Mira told Tito.
"What time's home? Let me pick you up"
"No, I'm afraid for a long time. Mira just take a taxi, if not later ask to pick up the driver from home" replied Mira politely.
"Okay" replied Tito
Mira goes into the cafe. Intan was waiting for him.
"Hi Tan? It's old?" ask Mira kindly.
"Not yet!"
"Only alone?"
"Same by Sinta. He needs to say so go"
Then Mira and Intan ordered a drink. Mira is a little uncomfortable meeting Intan. Is it true Intan just invite to eat just meet up. Or is there another meaning? Mira also remembered Gery's message, do not easily believe Intan's speech. But today Intan looked very friendly and kind.
"I'm sorry if I interrupted your time. Thank you for taking your time for me" said Intan in a friendly and humble tone.
"Ah no Tan. We also rarely meet, it's okay when we meet up. I also want to invite you to my fiancee's show" replied Mira spontaneously kindly as well. Seeing the hospitality and kindness Intan's soft heart touched Mira. Is that bad Intan. There was no evil gaze from Intan to Mira.
"Lo wants a fiancee? When's? Congratulations, good luck until H. I want to keep coming!" said Intan softly.
"It was just decided, it's still a month away. The new lo that I tell you" said Mira was friendly and moved.
"Oh really? I was lucky to be the first to tell you. I doain lo happy Mir, my message, if it's been fiancee not long yes marriage, I don't want my rich lo" said Intan softly, with teary eyes.
Intan's vows are good at theatrics and take Mira's heart. Seeing the look on Intan's sad face, Mira was really touched and believed.
"Aamiin, thank you. Betewe, you tumben me to eat together, what's wrong?" mira replied sympathizing.
"Ehm" Intan cleared his throat, put on a sad face and lowered his head, then arranged his good words and sentences.
"Gue wants to ask you something"
"Ask something?"
"Gue Denger Ardi is married, even his wife is pregnant. Hiks" Intan said in a stammering manner.
Intan stopped letting her tears down, as if pouring out deep heartache and suffering. This also made Mira sympathetic. Mira swallowed her saliva pictured in the position of Intan.
"Gue denger he's your cooperation. Do you know him?" Intan wiped her tears and continued her intention.
"Sory ya Tan's. Who are you from?" asked Mira softly.
"Gue Denger himself accidentally. From Ardi himself, you know about this?"
"Emem" Mira replied nodding and feeling guilty .
"My junior wife Ardi, her name is Alya Berlian Sari, I am also good friends with her" Mira replied honestly.
Then suddenly Mira remembers her jealousy she used to go to Alya. Mira also hates Alya. Mira knows for sure how Intan feels.
"Hiks hiks" Intan again pretended to cry in front of Mira.
"Lo who is patient Tan, I don't know if you have a child from Ardi, you must be strong yes" said Mira sympathized.
"It's okay Mir. I realize who I am. I didn't know that Ardi was coming to me. He easily married someone else" Intan took out his drama in front of Mira
"Gue was always faithful waiting for him. I know he was so persistent in reaching for the future to continue his studies, so I survived, I relented and tried to understand not to demand marriage. I thought he'd come back and admit his son, but it turns out he did. Hiks...lo know how I feel Mir?"
"Yes Tan, I know. I didn't expect Ardi to do that either. How do you want to?"
"Gue doesn't want to ruin Ardi Mir's happiness. From the past until now my feelings are still the same, I love Ardi, I want him to be happy with his choice"
"Lo is really good Tan, but you also deserve to be happy. What is the fate of your child?" replied Mira sympathizing and caring to Intan.
Mira believes Intan's son Ardi, as they were fiancee for quite a long time.
"Gue was also confused Mir. I sincerely see Ardi happy, but I also, I want my son to know his father, recognized his father" replied Intan still with his memelasin drama.
"Have you ever told Ardi?"
"Udah, but he dodged, sometimes I think, did I tell his wife? Maybe she'll understand as a fellow woman. Ah, but I don't want to ruin their happiness. I asked Lo's opinion, what do you think? I want to know Ardi's wife"
"Lo has every right to this reality Tan, although painful, Alya must also know this reality. Because Alya told me himself. They get married suddenly" Mira tells Intan as a form of pedulian.
"You mean?"
"Gue knew they were married too. Ardi is outrageous and a dick. Alya kept her wedding a secret, from her friends all this time. They got married in London. Alya says they got married because of Ardi's parents. I don't know exactly. But you better tell Tan"
"Can you help me meet his wife?"
"It can, but not now. From the story of Alya's friends, they are again in Jogja, they are on vacation there" said Mira smoothly explained to Intan.
Then Mira handed me a photo of Alya, Anya, Dinda, Ardi, Farid and Dika eating together in the backyard of Alya's house. A photo showing how happy and warm they are. Even Ardi was seen embracing Alya. Anya and Dinda seem to be holding onto food.
Hearing Mira's explanation, the look on Intan's face that looked sad and sad changed a little. Intan clenched her hand without Mira's knowledge. Intan muter-muter nyari did not meet. They're in Jogja.
"Thank you for helping me out before. But is it okay to see Ardi's wife?" tanya Intan is still playing the show.
"It's okay Tan. You are both women and the mother of your children. You have the right to fight your child. Alya is also a good person, very good. Although this hurts, it's better for her to know about her husband"
"When can I see you?"
"As soon as they get back, I'll tell you. They're interns here. So they can't take long off. They may have returned later" .
"Thank you Mir, thank you for helping me"
"Daddy together"
