Today should be the happiest day for his son and future son-in-law but fate says otherwise, Deon is reaching his limit.
"Ma, it's not Deon" Enne refused to come in and refused to confirm who the man was lying inside.
'No, we were joking with each other, he was healthy, especially today we are getting married, Deon can't be sick, right, he's not Deon' Inner Enne.
Laura held Enne's shoulder, she could no longer hold back her tears, was saddened to see her son's destiny, she wanted to be angry but it was useless, there would be nothing to help even if she went berserk and yelled.
Disappointed, fate is so cruel, she keeps asking why her son was born with cancer, why he can't see his son's smile.
So much suffering that Deon endured, painful treatment and care continued to be felt, his childhood having no fond memories.
Laura lost hope, especially when the doctor said her son's life was not long but for the first time, Deon asked and pleaded with her.
That night, he called and asked to marry a pregnant woman, saying he liked her.
Of course Laura granted it, only then was Deon excited, he who was moody and reserved so chatty as to explain the state of Adrienne.
But now, finally the day that Laura feared came back and greeted her, fate as if no matter how many hearts would be broken seeing the state of her son.
"Enne" With a heavy heart Laura explained everything.
Adrienne froze in her place, she was hard to believe because Deon's smile was still fresh in her memory this morning.
But Laura's explanation slapped her firmly, finally her premonition came true.
He was suspicious, Deon always acted and acted as if the day would end, he always worked hard to please Enne, not one day he showed his fatigue.
Slowly Enne entered, he forced his legs to move, his heart heavy to see the man who had seized his heart was lying weakly on the bed.
The man in black, lying weakly before him, there was no sign that he would wake up, as if Deon was greeting coldly himself.
Enne's tears flowed by themselves, never before had she seen the silent Deon and ignored him.
'It hurts so much Deon, why did you lie to me' Enne's inner self.
Laura stood next to her future daughter-in-law, her chest tight, she could not see two people whose fate was so unfortunate, Mama Deon knew Enne's life journey, she also lived a bitter life.
Adrienne Already unable to say anything, Laura's explanation was able to mute him, she cursed herself.
How could he not know, if the man who kept laughing in front of him only looks strong at that time, it turns out secretly a deadly disease gnawing at his life, a brain tumor, and, a disease that awaits death only.
Either Enne is too lulled or Deon is very smart to hide it.
'Why are you pretending to be strong in front of me' Enne's inner self again.
"Enne baby, mama will take care of your wedding, you're here, accompany Deon, let's just drop the party, you're patient well" said Laura trying to channel peace in the heart of her future daughter-in-law.
"Yes ma" replied Enne quietly.
He sat down beside Deon, the man never opening his eyes, making Enne even more worried and fearful.

Who is most hurt by this fact? What Adrienne? Or Deon?
If only he had been a little more sensitive, about why Deon suddenly had to leave, suddenly there was business, even though he had made sure there was no schedule whatsoever but still there were things that made him have to leave.
As important as it is, but still not suspicious of Enne, it seems Deon is too smart to hide his illness.
"Deon~" her broom softly, her hands slowly clutching Deon's fingers.
"I'm sorry! I must be very selfish, right? You deserve to hate me, we've been together for almost a year and I don't know anything as important as this, I'm sorry Deon" the sadder it gets, Enne may not realize tears are filling her eyes.
"Deon, wake up please, I don't want to lose you either, don't make me lonely, didn't you say you were going to wait for the big Valarie? We promised to travel the world, didn't we?" sad monologue.
Some say the sleeping man could hear what the people nearby were talking about, maybe Deon heard Enne's voice.
His eyes slowly moved allowing his gaze to be filled with the light of the room.
He saw Enne still crying and was unaware of her consciousness.
"Adrien" Deon's hoarse voice stopped Enne's whining.
"Deon~"
"Hm, you know yah?" Deon smiled bitterly.
"Don't talk yet! I don't want you to do anything else wait for me to call the sust-
Deon's hand held Enne, he gently stared at the face of his future wife.
"Honey..come here" he asked.
Deon clasped Enne's hand, he looked at her intently, as if it was the last stare from her, his lips were grinning, hard indeed, smiling in the face of this bitter reality.
"You're so pretty, baby, how? You like everything?" tanyanya fucked.
Adrienne held her breath, she understood the situation she was in, Deon might leave.
At least follow his last will, listen and answer Adrienne honestly, Don't cry, pretend hard, just for a moment, for her sake, for the man you love.
"Em, it's pretty, I like this dress the most, did you tell my mom that I like lilacs?" tanyanya pretends to be tough.
"Yes baby, I've arranged everything, maybe I won't last much longer than this! Valarie, my dear son, I've made savings for him, if he needs to, give him whatever he wants, let's just say it's his father's last gift" Deon replied.
Enne's throat was strangled, it hurt so much to hold back the tears, but Deon was still smiling.
"Valarie must be happy to have a father as good as you, and I'm lucky to love you, I love you Deon hikh" Enne finally cried too, she said, no man can bear to see his loved ones lying weak and still worry about others not himself.
"Don't cry baby, I'm so happy, it turns out my love is not one-sided! In that case, I can leave quietly" Deon's voice grew quieter.
"Deon don't say so hikh" Enne sobbed, she wouldn't let Deon leave her.
"I love you baby, be happy without me" she said, Enne shook her head, she didn't want to, but Deon's eyes slowly closed.
"No, no! You promised me you'd live happily with me and Valarie, I didn't want Deon, get up, please" Enne went crazy, she yelled hoping Deon would hear the stuffing but the man was lifeless, he has left this world.
His soul now leaves the body, Deon may smile with relief leaving Adrienne but not with his future wife who is now in revolt crying over her disappearance.
"Deon I Love You Too" he whispered to his lifeless body.
Her crying broke so. Time and again he kissed Deon's hands and face, begging him to come back, his embrace even tighter, but he expected no more to answer and that day Adrienne was really hit hard.
