The day goes on. Seconds turn into minutes. Minutes turn into hours and days turn into months. It has not been four months since the verdict was handed down. The verdict of the court said that Arumi Salsabila has officially carried the title of widow of flowers because she has a beautiful face and slim body like a Spanish guitar.
For four months, Mahesa was unconscious. He felt at home sleeping on a hospital bed as if reluctant to accept the fact that the man had lost the sacred love of his beloved ex-wife.
Although in Mahesa's heart still stored the name of his former first wife and it all makes Kayla feel furious because she can not have the heart of Mahesa completely, the woman remained faithful to visit her husband in the hospital without the knowledge of Naila and the Son.
Tired up? For sure. Kayla didn't deny it all. Sometimes there is a desire to give up and end all but he again realizes that love requires sacrifice and struggle. Therefore, Kayla again excited and convinced if someday her love story ends happily as in the fairy tale.
One day at a cafe near the hospital, Rayyan and Arumi were sitting together while enjoying a break. The man deliberately invited his beloved lover to drink coffee while discussing work.
Work affairs have been discussed, now comes the time for the lovers to talk about personal affairs. That was why, Rayyan deliberately chose a rather hidden place so that not many people would pass by, hearing their conversation.
"Rumi, are you ready to tell your Mama that between us there is not only a relationship between superiors and subordinates?" ask Rayyan. The man's hand reached for the coffee cup, inhaling the fragrant aroma emanating from the coffee cup. Slowly, he took a sip of every concentrated liquid that entered the throat.
Arumi scoops a piece of her favorite cake into her mouth, chewing it slowly until it passes through her throat.
Instead of answering, the woman asked Rayyan the same question. "You yourself, how? Ready to accept the fact that your Papa and Mama will reject me if I know I'm the woman who has captured the heart of their eldest son?"
This time Arumi was much more relaxed if he was sitting together with Rayyan and offended about the reaction that would be shown by the two men's parents.
The corner of the man's lips was pulled upwards. A smile was painted on his handsome face. "of course! I'm ready to fight them if it turns out that Papa and Ja*ang are against our marriage. I'm going to leave the house that's been holding a lot of sweet and bitter memories at about the same time."
Arumi twisting lazy eyeball. The ripe lips were also throbbing when hearing the answer from a beloved lover. "I'm not sure you would have said the same answer had you not intended to marry me. You must have been hard leaving that house, right?"
The woman in a white snelli wrap put down the spoon, sliding the small plate to the right side. "If it's hard to leave a house filled with memories with Mama Mei Ling, why buy a new apartment. Why don't we just stay with your parents?" cecar Arumi's.
"Even if you want to stay in that house, I'm willing to give up. We're both gonna build a house in your Mama's house." A smile expands on Arumi's lips. There was no doubt as the tiny lips spoke a sentence that today disturbed the woman's mind.
Although Arumi is not yet sure what reason causes Rayyan to hate her stepmom so much, but one thing is certain the dark story in the past is so painful to remember. Same with Arumi's past. The woman will still feel pain if someone unknowingly reopens an old wound that is almost healed.
Rayyan shook her head quickly. The man's heart was slightly moved to hear a strand of words spoken from the woman's lips. It is unexpected that Arumi is willing to live with him in the house he lives in with Lena and her half-sister.
"No! You don't have to sacrifice for me, Babe. I'm willing to leave that house, leave behind all the good memories of Mama's life in this world."
Rayyan's fingers touched Arumi's hand on the round table. Grasping tightly while staring at the woman's brown bead.
"What matters is that I can live alone with you. Spend time together until death do us part. I'm sure you'll forgive me for preferring to leave that house to live with the people I love."
Arumi glanced at Rayyan for a moment, then bowed her head while biting her lower lip. The woman's chest was pounding softly. That sentence was able to make thousands of butterflies fly from within his body. Beautiful dancing in the air with stunning colors.
"Because you are everything to me, Rumi. You're the most beautiful thing I've ever had." Lifting Arumi's fingers into the air. Staring at the face while kissing the back of Arumi's hand. "I love you, Arumi Salsabila."

After checking the condition of all the patients treated in Bougenville ward, Arumi will spend time reading medical books, read novels online or just watch movies streaming while waiting for a short message from Rayyan. A message asking the woman to go into the room. As a good lover, of course he was willing to come to meet his lover, because Arumi also missed Rayyan.
"Tumben, Rayyan hasn't sent a message. Usually he would ask me if I was out of the room or not. However, why until this moment he has not also sent a message to me," murmured Arumi lirih. It uncovers the worn blouse arm. Seeing a circular round object on the wrist. The long needle leads to the number six while the short needle leads to the number two (02.30 noon).
"Is it possible that he still has a job until he hasn't had time to send a message?" Not wanting to wait too long and thoughts branched out everywhere, Arumi decided to meet Rayyan in the man's room.
In the ward's headroom, Rayyan was discussing a plan for the operation to be performed on a kidney failure patient who was planning to perform a kidney transplant the next morning. This operation does not involve Arumi, because the woman has already handled other operations.
"Always make sure the condition of the patient is ready to run the operation tomorrow morning. Abstinence during the operation, complications and the possibility of bad that will occur after a kidney transplant must be conveyed back to the patient's family. Do not let the family feel aggrieved and instead assume we do malpractice," Rayyan told colleagues who served as a companion doctor in the operation tomorrow morning.
The doctor nodded quickly. "Good, Doctor. I'll remind them."
As the two young doctors were discussing, there was the sound of knocking on the door interrupting their activities. Rayyan knew that it was Arumi out there, rushing to ask the woman to enter the room.
"Excuse me, Doctor Rayyan," said Arumi politely. In front of others, he will behave like a subordinate and superior in general. Call Rayyan courteously by including the title in front of the man's name.
The male doctor who was with Rayyan just now, took the initiative to leave the room, because his business with his superior was done.
"Then, excuse me, Doctor Rayyan." Bow respectfully and step out of the room. However, when he passed by Arumi, the man smiled warmly and then continued his steps.
Rayyan laughed, looking at the formal demeanor that the woman showed her. "You looked stiff while being formal in front of me just now. Your moves give rise to other people's speculations."
The man stuffed all the luggage into a black tote bag. Then, hang snelli on a clothes hanger.
"Well, what should my attitude be if there's someone else in front of us?" sulk Arumi. "Are we both acting like we're in a special relationship? Calling you with a beloved call? Acting spoiled with a sweaty voice?"
"Not a bad idea." Rayyan rolled one eye. Teasing Arumi in this snacking mode is a separate entertainment for the man.
"Curtain! You want that!" Arumi clucked in annoyance because Rayyan was always teasing her.
The man smelled a warm smile. Embrace Arumi's shoulder gently. "We will soon announce the relationship between us to a wide audience. However, before that, I have to see Aunt Nyimas first. Tell him at once sorry because all this time we have lied to him a lot."
"You agree, wouldn't you, if today I were to see your mother and ask her for her blessing?" Arumi only nodded her head in response to the lover's answer.
