Her apartment room became increasingly quiet as Finly stepped inside. No one greeted him when he came home. Finly took off his shoes and put his car keys and bag on the table. He sat on the couch staring around the room.
The shadow of the reuniting party Jero and Giani back playing in his head. How the smile of happiness of the two when the sacred promise was spoken again. Finly was happy, sincere in his heart he prayed that Jero and Giani would be happy with their children.
For a moment, his memories with Jero again disturbed his heart. At the time, Finly had just broken up with her boyfriend. Girlfriend who loved so much that he made her willing to give up her sanctity. The man's name was Juan. Handsome man of Sundanese-Spanish descent. Juan was his senior brother in college.
As one of the campus stars, Juan and Finly are considered a matching couple because Finly is a beautiful model, very suitable Juan is handsome like a telenovela star. Finly is very proud to be Juan's girlfriend. Until finally one night, repeated the 22nd year of Juan, Finly was lulled in Juan's seduction and willingly gave up her sanctity.
As it turns out, what Finly hopes to do to marry Juan doesn't happen. Juan moved to Spain with his parents. Juan broke up their relationship because he did not believe in long-distance relationships. Finly is devastated when Juan leaves. He was so heartbroken that night. Jeronimo who saw it immediately comforted Finly. He always makes Finly laugh, takes Finly to the mall or watch it together. The presence of Jero made Finly's heart wound slowly heal. Finly learned to forget Juan. Finly gets used to the attention and affection Jero gives.
As a more mature woman than Jero, Finly knows that Jero likes her not as a sister but as a man to a woman. Jero's gaze very clearly conveyed his heart when he saw Finly.
For months Finly tried to convince her that Jero was her sister. But that feeling eventually grew into love. When Jero was 19, Finly brought a birthday cake to Jero's room. After blowing out the candles and singing a birthday song together, who did it, the two kissed each other. Not just an ordinary kiss but a passionate kiss that made Finly fall for the charm of Jero's good looks. He surrendered himself to Jero. A much more beautiful romance than when he was with Juan. Because Jero adores him so much, so much to admire and Jero thanks him for passing his first moment with the person he loves.
"I love you, Finly. I adore you so much. Even though I know I'm not the first for you, I don't care." That's what Jero said the first time they made love.
In the days that followed, Jero and Giani got closer. If Papa Denny and Mama Sinta are not home, they often sleep in the same room. Love and lust have blinded their eyes and hearts. Finly forgot that since childhood, he had been betrothed to Aldo.
When Aldo became the head of his family's company, he immediately came to meet Finly's family. Even though Aldo's parents are dead, Papa Denny is a man who keeps his word. As strongly as Finly refused the marriage, Papa Denny accepted Aldo's proposal.
Finly knows that Aldo is a man who is targeted by many girls. Finly also knows that Aldo has never been close to any girl. Aldo's gentle and submissive nature, unable to shake Finly's heart to be able to love him.
A month before Finly and Aldo's wedding, Finly was desperate to get Jero to run to London. Jero initially agreed. But when Papa Denny asks him to release Finly, Jero finally relents. Jero can't hurt Papa Denny much less Mama Sinta.
Finly was very frustrated. But he also did not want to hurt his parents. Jero and Finly make a deal. Let Finly marry Aldo, for the love they have, they will keep in touch.
A week before her wedding, Finly comes up with Aldo about his relationship with Jero. But Aldo accepts Finly as he is. The wedding also took place. The first night Finly can't get through with Aldo, because all night Finly just cried.
The day after her wedding, Finly is saddened by Jero flying to Sidney. Finly's heart is further broken because Jero says that his departure to Sidney is because he wants to stay away from Finly. He also returned heartbroken. In a sad state, Finly also fell in Aldo's arms. Finly tries to accept his marriage to Aldo. She even wants to get pregnant. Unfortunately, the presence of Alexa does not also make Finly able to love Aldo. Therefore, when he heard Jero returned after 3 years of separation, Finly immediately met Jero. Their relationship is back together. Their love is getting bigger. No matter what the status of the married Finly is, they justify adultery in the name of love.
Finly took a deep breath while suppressing the pain in his heart. His past memories tormented him so deeply. Jero, the man who had made her fall in love, now rejects her. Jero had forgotten how great their love was. Jero chose a new life with great love for Giani.
My God, why don't you lose this feeling for Jero? Why does this taste remain? I'm not an actor! I'm just a woman trying to fight for the man I love. But I ended up losing. And when I tried to improve my relationship with Aldo, he found a good woman in his life.
Finly's crying broke. He hugged the seat cushion while resting his head on the back of the sofa.
Without realizing it, the disease had already threatened him. Everything happens like a punishment that must be in its path.
When Finly finished visiting Sinta's mother who was still in a coma, he found himself nosebleed. This is not the first time he has experienced. Since she was in college, Finly has had frequent nosebleeds. His skin often bruises without any reason. Finly often ignores him.
While walking out of her mother's room, Finly suddenly fainted as she passed a doctor. When he woke up, he was already in the ER room with a doctor who had just passed him.
His name was Dr. Alan. A doctor is an expert in. He immediately asked Finly to immediately check himself because the doctor saw there were signs of Leukemia in Finly. Curious about the doctor's analysis, Finly secretly did an examination. Finly also asks doctor Alan to keep it a secret from doctor Clara who is Finly's sister-in-law.
After going through several examinations, Finly went to see Dr. Alan to find out the results.
"You do have leukemia, stage 4. I hope to get treatment soon."
"How long will it take me to live? I know the chances of a cure in stage 4 are very unlikely."
"sorry. I'm just a doctor. I can't determine your age. I hope you can be strong in facing all. One of the things that causes patients to recover is to always have hope and a heart that always rejoices."
Since then, Finly has been doing various treatments. His departure to America was actually not for work but he checked himself into a special hospital for cancer patients there.
Dr. Alan was very helpful. He continues to give Finly the spirit to seek treatment. Finly wants to live longer not because he wants to be with Jero. Nor to take Aldo from Joana. Finly just wants to have more time to be with Alexa.
*********
Aldo, who had just finished his meeting, was surprised to see Finly waiting in front of his room.
"What are you doing here?" Ask Aldo a little sniffly. Joana's coming soon, and Aldo doesn't want her fiance to be mistaken for Finly's presence. In 2 months they will be married.
"I just want to talk to you for a minute. Can I?" Finly asked with a face full of pleading. No more Finly always talking loudly to Aldo. The woman looked so fragile and helpless.
Aldo was actually lazy to talk to Finly but he was touched to see Finly's sad face.
"alright. You only have 10 minutes." Aldo immediately opened the door of his room while Finly followed him from behind. Aldo's room door was left Finly open slightly.
"Say what's wrong?" Aldo asked as he sat behind his desk. Finly stood in front of Aldo.
"Can Alexa stay in my apartment every night? I asked Alexa. He wants it as long as you let him."
"No! Last time you forced Alexa to go with you, Alexa had an accident. I'll let you see Alexa at home and no more than 1 hour."
Finly tried to hold back her tears but she couldn't. "Aldo, I beg you. Give it 1 day every week so Alexa can be with me. I want to have more time with him before I die."
"What?"
"I have stage 4 blood cancer. I have been undergoing chemotherapy for almost 4 months. I'm not saying this so you'll feel sorry for me. I just want time with Alexa. Not many. Just one day a week. I beg!"
Aldo looked at his ex-wife closely. Trying to find honesty in Finly's eyes. But Finly's increasingly thin body, the black line under his eyes and his skin that looks dull, his hair that looks pulled over, makes Aldo sure that Finly is sick.
"What stage is it?"
Finly's tears are flowing. Aldo's eyes became soft.
"Stadium 4."
Aldo's heart ached to hear it. Although now he already loves Joana, but he can not deny that his heart was concerned with the pain of Finly.
"alright. If Eca wants to, she can be in your apartment every Sunday night."
"thank you. And I beg of you, don't tell anyone about my pain." Finly is thrilled that Aldo is finally supporting her wishes.
Without them knowing it, Joana is behind the door. He heard all those conversations.
Well, what will Joana and Aldo do after hearing Finly's confession.
support mom....
