"Lea, I'm sorry I just got to see you now" said Amanda, Lea's best friend who had just emerged from behind the door. He rushed to Lea, who was still lying weakly on the patient's bed, and sat down next to his best friend.
"Manda" Lea said as she tried to throw a warm smile at her best friend. Although in fact at that time he still felt a very great destruction.
"How are you, Lea?"
Before dropping down on the chair beside Lea's bed, Amanda kissed her best friend's cheeks so gently.
"I'm not okay, Amanda. You can see how I am now. I'm so pathetic" said Lea in a stifled voice.
Amanda exhaled heavily and gently rubbed Lea's hand beside her. "Patience, yes, Lea. I am sure, behind this calamity, there will be a happiness waiting for you."
Lea was back. Her tears fell unstoppably and now flowed profusely at both corners of her eyes.
"Aamiin, hopefully. However, no matter how happy I am, it will still be different because Harris is no longer with me."
Amanda helped wipe the tears of Lea who kept coming out of her two best friends very gently.
"Don't say it like that, Lea. Ikhlaskan. I'm sure Harris is happy there now. So don't make her sad just because you can't let go" Amanda said, trying to calm Lea down.
"Amanda's right, honey. Better get Harris. Let him be calm and happy there."
Suddenly a voice rangga who then emerged from behind the door of the room Lea treated. The man walked over to Lea and Amanda with a small smile.
Lea furrowed her brows in wonder as suddenly Rangga appeared from behind the door. His girlfriend did not even tell him about his arrival.
"Ra-Ranges?"
"Nova ...." Rangga immediately hugged Lea's body so tightly. Not to forget he gave her a warm kiss on the top of the girl's head, the same as usual.
Lea again sobbed in the man's arms. He was really sad considering his current condition.
"Look at me, Rangga! I'm no longer perfect. And my sister ...my sister left me first" Lea said in between sobs.
Rangga gently stroked Lea's back, trying to calm the woman down. "Hussh, stop. I know you're a strong woman, Lea. I'm sure you can get through all this. Remember, there will be rainbows after the storm. There will be a happiness waiting for you behind all this, Lea."
Lea broke her embrace with Rangga. He looked at the man while wiping away the tears that had continued to seep without being able to hold back.
"After my circumstances like this, will you cancel our marriage, Rangga? Will you leave me after this?" lea asked seriously.
Rangga smiled slightly while shaking his head slowly. "No, Honey. It won't. Our marriage will continue and I promise never to leave you" Rangga replied with confidence.
"Is that true, Rangga?" Leah tried to make sure that what Rangga said was true and not a lie.
"Of course, Lea. You can keep all my promises to you. Isn't that right, Amanda?" Rangga glanced at Amanda who had been silent since noticing the togetherness of Lea and the man.
"Yes," Amanda replied briefly with a small smile.
"Now you're sure, right? Amanda will be the witness," continued Rangga while anchoring his warm kiss on the top of Lea's head for the umpteenth time.
Lea finally smiled after hearing Rangga's reassuring answer. There is a sense of pride tucked in his heart because Rangga can still accept his condition that is no longer perfect.
"Together, dear Lea. Remember that! Whatever I'll do for you" replied Rangga.
Amanda threw her gaze the other way. The look on his face changed. It's not as warm as before.
"Darling, is Amanda here with you?" ask Lea.
Before Rangga answered the question from Lea, he glanced at Amanda first. "Ehm, that's ...."
"Me and Mas Rangga accidentally met on the street, Lea. Yes, I just ride with him," said Amanda who now threw her smile to Lea.
"Yes, Honey. That's right," Rangga continued with a wry smile.
Lea smiled. "Good then. I'm glad to hear it."

Next day.
Today is Harris's funeral. Where Lea was forced to ask Rangga to arrange the entire funeral of his sister. That was all Lea had to do because she no longer had anyone to ask for help.
Not many people attended the funeral. Only friends of the campus and those closest to Harris.
Actually Lea's condition was still not possible to attend the funeral. However, he still insisted on attending even though the medical team had banned him.
With a paled face, Lea stared at Harris's body which was already covered in a shroud and ready to be put into his final resting place. There were no more tears on Leah's cheeks. He had tried to make Harris's departure, the only sister of the puppet who had always been his pride.
The funeral procession went well and Harris rested quietly in his last bed. One by one the mourners also pamphit. They approached Leah who was still in a wheelchair with two nurses standing to her left and right.
"We grieve deeply for what happened to you. We pray that Harris will be at his side and for you, may you be strong and steadfast in the face of all these trials" said one mourner, shaking hands with Leah.
"Thank you for being willing to attend at once for her prayers" Lea said with teary eyes. .
"Together, Lea. Patient, yes!"
Eventually all the mourners came home. Now lives Lea, Rangga, Amanda and several medical teams that still survive at the cemetery.
Lea again sobbed. He was so sad to look at the pusara of his sister. Never thought that Harris would leave her first with all her hopes.
Rangga approached Lea then crouched down in front of her. "You'd better go back to the hospital, Lea. The longer you stay here, the sadder you will be" persuaded Rangga.
"Yes, Mas Rangga's right, Lea. You'd better go back to the hospital" said Amanda, who is now also approaching Lea.
Lea nodded her head. "All right, I'm going back to the hospital. Oh yeah, Amanda. I'm sorry because in these weeks I'm going to keep busy with that wedding dress. Ah, had I known it would be like this, maybe I would never have accepted the request for the dress" Lea said with a sad face.
"No problem, Lea." Amanda smiled as she gently stroked Lea's arm.
The medics took Leah back to the hospital. Amanda went home with Rangga.
