Ardi put his knife and fork on the plate. End his dinner. Leaving behind a beef steak that he hadn't even spent half of. Ardi looked at Ella who was sitting before him sharply. "El, I love you. It's a real shame with you. I don't want to lose you. I want you to be a part of my life. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. As soon as possible."

"meaning? What do you mean, mas?" Ella had actually guessed where Ardi was going. But still he wanted to hear directly from Ardi's mouth about all the explanations.

"I want to establish an official relationship with you" replied Ardi firmly.

Ella was silent again unable to react. Why is Ardi talking like that? Didn't they both know that the two of them couldn't get the blessing of Ardi's parents? Why should we talk about this bond? Just make it frustrating.

"What kayak word? A fiancee? Or marriage? But haven't we got the blessing of Ardi's parents?" Ella asked in astonishment. He also put a fork and knife to finish the dinner procession. Sipped a glass of fizzy drink at the table before returning to concentrate looking at Ardi to continue their serious talk now.

"Just like your father said, we should be bound in a definite relationship immediately. It's not that we're swayed in our unclear relationship... I'll try to talk to Mama again." Ardi replied after seeing her Ella started to seriously also respond.

"The answer is the same, ma'am."

"El, I want it now with you about one thing... Why did you take a specialist education?" Ardi asked his astonishment from long ago. Why is it as if Ella wants to delay the time for them to be together? Why is it as if Ella doesn't want to bond with him?

"I want to improve my medical knowledge and knowledge. To help more people." Ella answered lightly as if without a thought.

"Classical and theoretical reasons. I can't believe my smart Ella won't decide something this big just for the classic reason." Ardi kept pressing.

"I want to prove that I deserve your strand, ma'am. That I can also stand straight and level with you. Although I am not from a wealthy sultan's family. I want you to also be proud to have me as your partner." Ella tried to explain the meaning of all her actions.

"Ella, you don't have to work as well as I'm very proud to have you. I want to accept you as Ella, Ella now or at any time. You don't have to be that hard on yourself, El. Let me move and act. Let me fight for you." Ardi said softly, not expecting Ella to fight so hard just to be able to line her up.

"But that's not fair to you, ma'am. I don't want to like that. If we have to fight, we will fight together. You fight in your way and I also struggle in my own way. The specialist doctor was as troubled as treasure and wealth. We're only richer in science than in matter." Ella explained her idealism.

"But Mama wouldn't think like that... Mama will think that you deliberately challenged him. That you deliberately took specialists as a declaration of war. An open declaration that you will not give up your profession." Ardi tried to give a point of view that if thought by his mother. Her mother's mind was so simple, typical of the minds of Asian conglomerate mothers who were still too conservative and too attached to various ancient rules that were not important.

"I have to admit that I have intentions as well. I admit I'm evil, I'm a selfish and greedy girl. I do love you, mas. I don't want to lose you either, but on the other hand I also love my profession very much. And I wouldn't be able to just let go of it either." Ella's voice trembled slightly to voice the contents of her heart that she had long harbored.

"So you're saying we should hold off until you get your title? Three more years?" Ardi asked in a bitter tone. Does Ella really not want to be united with him immediately? spend the rest of your life with him? Both greetings in joy and sorrow.

"Worst possibility so. But for example in the middle of the road mama mas Ardi can accept me yes it will be better. I don't want to procrastinate on our relationship, but I'm realistic. Maybe I don't deserve to be with you right now. But I also want to fight for it. And even if it fails, I won't regret it because I fought desperately for it." Ella clean hard maintained her idealism.

"Do you think my family and I can wait for you that long?" ardi said it was increasingly frustrating to hear Ella's answer.

"I didn't ask you to wait for me. I just need time to prove myself. If you can't wait for me and find my replacement, then I won't be able to resist or object to your decision."

Ardi was silent this time, he knew that Ella also loved her profession. To tell the girl to give up her profession is tantamount to having her throw away half of her own life. Once again their conversation was deadlocked.

"When do we have to cross that line?" chirps Ardi more dizzy with their increasingly runyam talk.

"Through the limits of how?"

"Crazy! What the hell do you think, Ardi's mas?" Ella protested loudly.

"If we have children we will inevitably our parents will also recognize the bond between us." Ardi has a crazy idea.

"Please. Never think of such a shortcut. Too horrible!" Ella still remembers Jillia's story about the fatal mistake she made for forcing a relationship with her boyfriend. Forcing pregnancy out of wedlock in order to be accepted by their family. But what do they get in the end? There is nothing but deeper suffering. They are increasingly displaced and abandoned by their families.

Ella and Ardi who both love their families so much will certainly not be able to do that. Both will not be able to embarrass their surnames. Stain and tarnish the good name of their family. And also not able to just leave their families irresponsibly.

"I know, I don't want to take that shortcut as much as I can. There are too many risks and sins that we must bear if we do this contemptible act. Especially me personally, I probably won't be able to forgive myself for not taking good care of you. Until I promised your papa the ijab of qobul to ask you to be my wife"

"Don't start something kind with the wrong intention. If we really want to unite in a sacred bond let us fight in a good and right way. Never defile our sacred intentions with contemptible sin." Ella chimed in on their serious discussion. I don't like Ardi's crazy ideas.

"You're right, maybe my head is still dizzy so it can't think rationally." Ardi closed his eyes, pressing the bone between his eyes hard.

"I'm sorry El, don't mind this crazy talk tonight." The piercing pain, as well as the sensation of dizziness and swirling very strongly back attacked him. Making Ardi slightly sigh slowly withstanding the pain in his head.

"The wind here is pretty big. Let's go back to the room. I think Ardi still needs a lot of rest." Ella was a little worried about Ardi's state of being in a lot of pain.

Could Ardi's headaches, dizziness and vertigo recur? Ella hurriedly got up from her seat, moved over, helping Ardi to get up from her seat slowly.

"We're back in the room, ma'am." Ella helps Ardi walk back to her room. He sat the man in his bed and arranged his pillow and blanket to cover his legs to his chest.

"Take the medicine first yes," Ella deftly took and thrust the medicine that was on the table next to the bed. He also took a glass of water that was ready at the table as well.

"Lay down first and sleep. Don't be made to think about it so as not to get dizzy. Tomorrow the total bed rest again yes, no work and no out of the room." Ella gave Ardi some instructions to rest. Help the man lie down on his bed slowly.

"Ok.." answered Ardi. Still too dizzy and headache to say the word.

"Good night and get well soon." Ella smiled, giving a light peck on Ardi's forehead as a greeting to her sleep.

"I'm sorry, El. I keep taking care of you." Ardi felt very guilty for Ella.

feeling guilty for ruining their romantic dinner. Ruin it with unpleasant and soul-stifling talk. Damaging it again with the condition of his body that somehow became this weak.

Ardi himself was astonished by the state of his body. Usually used for rest all day also healed. Why not heal now like gini. Looks like Ella was right, I need to really focus on resting and improving my diet to get well, Ardi thought.

"Whoever to say it to," Ella smiled amusedly, anxious to hear Ardi's words.

"No problems. Usually I always ngerepotin mas Ardi. Once in a while Ardi ngerepotin I think it is not a problem really. Vertigo mas Ardi disease is still quite mild, with regular treatment and adequate rest can definitely be cured. And keep in mind don't move or get up all of a sudden." Ella gave advice at length as a doctor to her patients.

"Alright doc.." said Ardi resigned only.

"I'll go home, yeah, mom." Pamit Ella before retreating from Ardi's room.

Ardi just nodded in response, trying to close his eyes and fall asleep to relieve his headache a little...

Ella comes out of Ardi's room, walks into the kitchen to say goodbye to Ijah. Ijah gave the rest of the cake that had been wrapped neatly. Then Ijah also called Bambang to take Ella home to his contract. Not to forget Ella ordered Ijah to slightly change and improve the Ardi food menu into a healthier and more nutritious menu. Food menu suitable for patients with hypotension and vertigo.
