The next day Dinda decided to give Gono an answer, After he thought about it all night.
"Uncle I want to talk for a while," said Dinda when approaching Gono who was relaxing on the terrace of the house.
"Sit down, and speak."
"I-I'm ready to get married to Mr. Mahendra's son. If that's how I can make my uncles and aunts about, I'll do anything."Dinda.
"Do you think mature? If you don't agree papa, uncle and aunt are ready to sleep on the streets."
"No uncle, I don't want to trouble uncle and I'm ready for what's going to happen after I marry him."
"Well, tonight we will go to Mahendra's house, to tell him this news. Because he wants the answer immediately." Obviously Gono with a happy face, because he had succeeded in persuading Dinda.
Time passed quickly, and the night returned, Dinda and Gono uncle with bi Asih came to the house of Mr. Mahendra and there they were greeted with friendly.
"Sir, I mean my arrival here wants to continue our conversation yesterday at home," said Uncle Gono, after talking for a while.
"Yes, what's the answer sir?" ask back, Mr. Mahendra who can not wait for the answer.
"After I spoke to Dinda and she decided to accept this match" Gono explained.
"I'm so happy to hear that. Dinda wants to accept and if Dinda has agreed we marry them the day after tomorrow. how about sir?"
"As for you, how good are we to follow you." Saut Gono's.
"I apologize in advance sir, did your son also receive this matchmaking?" Dinda interrupted the conversation, and Mr. Mahendra just chuckled.
"You will meet him on your wedding day, and of course the Sultan agrees, because he wants it too."
After the conversation that night, Dinda looked a little anxious about the wedding. The question still often arises in his mind 'is he really ready to be a wife to someone he has never known.' But the feeling was hard to tepis Dinda.
Gono and Asih also tried to convince Dinda and continue to give a lot of advice so that Dinda is more confident in her decision.

The next day, the wedding arrived. The show was quite simple, Dinda wore a white kebaya with a little makeup on the face. Dinda's heart continues to beat fast because she will soon become a wife and will meet her husband for the first time.
When Dinda came out of the room, a man was finished doing the marriage contract in front of the penghulu smiling to see Dinda who walked over and sat next to him.
After exchanging the rings, Dinda could only clearly see her husband's face for the first time and immediately kissed the back of her hand and the Sultan kissed Dinda's forehead.
From Dinda's view, Sultan looks different, his face a little pale and his body looks thin, he sees a little smile tucked in his lips. Expressing his happiness, but inversely proportional to Dinda who never smiled.
After the completion of the agreement, Dinda officially became the wife of the Sultan and lived in Mahendra's residence. But they look like strangers.
"Sleep, it's night. I'm not gonna touch you." Said the Sultan who was lying next to Dinda but turned his back.
"Sorry Mas, if you don't like this wedding why don't you refuse? If we're gonna sleep apart eventually." Ask Dinda.
"Why I refuse, I can't choose. Why do you accept this marriage?"ask the Sultan.
"Because I don't want my uncle and aunt to be disappointed." replied Dinda.
"Subordinate son."
The sultan turned his body and looked at Dinda who had broken down his body.
"If you had another man, I wouldn't forbid you to be with him" said Sultan. Hearing those words made Dinda's mind turn negative on the sultan.
"I'm sorry, I'm not that kind of woman, marriage is not for playfulness. So don't ever think that I'm gonna cheat. Until I give you a descendant. That's what you want from this marriage. Then why don't you touch me. Aren't you interested in me?"
The Sultan only sighed with Dinda's accusation.
"Let's see if you can give me a descendant or you'll give up early."
"good. We'll see how it goes, but if you still don't want to touch me and I don't get pregnant, it might be a different story. Never mind, I'd better go to sleep, and waiting is impossible."
Dinda immediately turned her body and turned her back to the Sultan. The Sultan looked at Dinda's back.
'If you knew of this sickness I had, you might not have accepted me to be your husband and to have a child for me. Sorry if one day you will be my widow, said the Sultan
Sultan did not feel any tears on his cheeks and chose to go out of the room leaving Dinda who was already sound asleep.
Mahendra who saw the Sultan was sitting on the sofa alone and immediately he approached.
"What's wrong, son, aren't you asleep?" mahendra asked, which made the Sultan gasp.
Mahendra sat down beside the Sultan and rubbed his shoulders.
"Pa, if one day I go. Papa please take care of Dinda for me. I don't want to see Dinda suffer after my departure."
"Don't be so son, papa's sure you're cured. Papa will find the best treatment for you, son. Papa promised."
But the Sultan smiled
"The chances of recovering the Sultan are very small pa. Don't waste papa's money on treating the Sultan. Remember there is still Rian who also needs papa's attention. I'm just saying please don't tell Dinda my illness. I don't want to see my wife sad. I don't care if I can still see my descendants or not, right now I just want to give Dinda the remaining affection I have. Thank you pa, for granting me one wish, for finding a woman to take care of me for my life." The Sultan hugged his father.
"Yes dear papa promise. Papa's gonna keep this a secret from your wife and I'm gonna do whatever makes you happy." Mahendra was powerless not to shed tears, seeing his son who was still trying hard to fight his disease
