Marriage of Debt Relay
*Chapter 38

"No. Dinda won't come back even if I persuade her in any way. I'm sure of it, Mang. Because Dinda has been so hurt by me. Therefore, let me be sick. That way, I hope Dinda will be moved to come back to me."

"What's this crazy thought, Den? Don't torture yourself just to be merciful. Instead, try hard to make non Dinda believe in den Ilya. That way, mbok sure that Den Ilya can definitely return non Dinda to the side of Den Ilya." Mbok Yah said with a rather high tone.

He was really sad when he saw the current Ilya. It's much worse than Ilya after the accident a few years ago. Because of this Ilya, it suffered much more than Ilya who knew that he could no longer walk on his feet.

....

The days passed slowly and heavily for Ilya. The spirit of life has been destroyed. All he did was lock himself in a room with a picture of Dinda. He was told to eat, he was very difficult. Moreover, given the medicine, he did not want to take it at all.

Ilya who lives because of the help of drugs was immediately seen to be concerned even though only a few days had passed. It makes mbok Yah and mang Mamat anxious not kepalang.

Added to the night breeze that Ilya has often enjoyed the last few nights. Ilya's health condition has started to look quite bad. In fact, the pain in his legs and spine was beginning to be seen.

"How about this, mbok? Si den Ilya did not want to take any medicine. He doesn't want to listen to what we say once, mbok. I'm very worried now." Mang Mamat spoke in a sad tone while looking at Ilya from the small crack of the slightly open room door.

"It's also very worrying, sir. We can't just stay quiet. We have to try hard to make Den Ilya have the spirit to live again."

"How is it, buk? There was no other way but to call non Dinda to come here again. But that way we can't go. Because Non Dinda also won't listen to what we say. They're both the same, buk. Equally stubborn. How do we help Den Ilya like this, huh?"

"How is it, buk? Non Dinda we can't call. How did he know that Ilya was not okay?"

The words of mang Mamat made mbok Yah silent for a moment. It seemed, he was thinking of everything that could possibly happen. A big possibility that will definitely show good results.

"Mm .. Ibuk will find non Dinda as soon as possible."

"seek? Where do you want to find it, buk? Our people don't know where the non Dinda is. Want to contact the village, and Ilya does not allow us to do that. Because he didn't want the villagers to know what had happened to his current life."

"Yes, I remember Den Ilya's ban. But, I will still contact the village. However, in your own way," said Mbok Yah with a big smile on the lips along with a gaze full of confidence.

That's how in the end Yah decided to try luck. He disguises himself as someone from the town where Dinda lived while in college. And, in that air-talk, he could tell that Dinda was not in the village at the moment. Dinda's parents said that Dinda was at her husband's house. But the mbok only asked for the address of Dinda's residence in the city. Without any suspicion, Dinda's mother immediately said the full address of her brother in the city.

Armed with that address, mbok Yah immediately left for the next city the next day. For the sake of Ilya who he had considered as a child, any difficulties he would travel with a spacious chest.

Some time traveling, finally mbok Yah arrived at aunt Dinda's house. Because he did not really understand the state of the city next door, he also needed a longer time than Dinda needed. He left early in the morning, almost late in the afternoon. But, the mbok is still full of enthusiasm because he hopes, what he did this time succeeded.

"Oh my God, help me." Mbok Yah spoke while looking at the luxurious house in front of him. "Don't make my efforts in vain. Make non Dinda here. And most importantly, let him be willing to come with me back to Ilya's den house. Poor den Ilya, God."
