Marrying the Killer of my Girlfriend
HOPEFULNESS

My head is so dizzy.

All I remember is that I just fell asleep.

There was something wrong with my vision at first. First it was very blurry, then now it became very glare.

Then I heard a loud voice shouting beside me.

"Selena's awake!"

The man's screams echoed in the place I guessed was the hospital room. The whole place is painted white, with a distinctive hospital smell. I still adjusted the glare of the light after opening my eyes.

It was Gery's voice.

"Hi Gery," I greeted my best friend while curled up on the bed.

"Cell if not healthy do not move first," he replied.

It didn't take long, a few faces had already surrounded me. I saw the faces of my mother, my father, Gery and Anna.

Gery was a friend from my childhood. We live in the same neighborhood. From elementary school to college, we always went to the same school.

It was Gery who introduced me to Dio, a bandmate he used to be in High School. He even set us up to be an inseparable love match ever since.

While Anna was a young doctor, just like me, who was also my only close friend while working in the hospital.

We work in the best private hospital in the Capital, which I am currently in. We even lived together while doing koas (co-assistant) in this hospital last year. That's when we were close.

"I fainted how long?" ask them.

"Three days" said Gery. "And you haven't taken a shower," she asked to comfort me.

But all I felt was a heart that was still very sick.

It has been four days since Dio left this world. And it was supposed to be our wedding yesterday.

Dio missed our marriage by leaving forever, while I lost my consciousness of not being able to deal with all of this.

I missed you, Dio.

Anna broke the deadlock, "Cell, I asked Dr. Bernard for permission, he said you don't have to go in for a week."

"Thanks, Na,"

"What if we go to my villa in Bandung, Sel? I can take my cut and you can rest there. Om and Aunty also join gapapa yuk?" take Anna.

Thank God, even though my most beloved person you have called, I still do not lack the affection of my family and friends at this time.

"Na, thank you. But I have to make some extra money," I quipped.

I then explained to the two of them in front of my father and mother what we were going through while talking as they pleased.

Mom grabbed me and dad held my hand whispering me that they would always be next to me.

"Son, I got some info, she said the total cost of your wedding was about a billion" My mom said cautiously.

I never knew the details of our wedding expenses because Dio didn't want to bother my family. It was Dio who paid for it.

Yesterday, the Dio family agreed that we would both bear the cost of this marriage. That is, I only need to pay half this fee or five hundred million in the next month.

The problem is, five hundred million is not a small amount.

I don't have that kind of money.

"I have savings, but not enough. I have to find extra work within a month" I replied.

What kind of work can get me five hundred million in a month?

I still don't know, but I'll try to find him after I recover today.

"Dad! it's the house of great grandmothers and you should live to old there! I don't agree," I cut it.

"But Son..."

"Cell, you can use my savings if you need to hurry" Anna said.

Gery next to me also nodded the same.

"I don't mind lending you my savings first, which is important the Dio family doesn't step on you anymore like this" Gery bargained.

My tears can't hold. I cried so much knowing there were still many who cared about me at this bleak time.

Mom rubbed my head, dad even cried. Anna and Gery grabbed my hand and asked me to be strong. And I'm sure, Dio up there also expects me not to lose to this situation.

"Thank you everyone" I'm still as happy as I am. "But this is my problem, I don't want you to bother. I'm the one who has to finish this by myself."

"Son, consider it first, yes" my mother asked. His face looked very clumsy and very puffy.

Just to make my mother calm down, I nodded. But I can't trouble anyone. This is my problem, people shouldn't suffer because of me.

"May I speak to Anna myself?" I asked Dad, Mom and Gery.

Everyone nodded and left one by one from my room. Gery insisted on staying. He said, if there's something I keep secret from him he'll take me a month.

"Okay Ger, you can stay" I said, holding back a laugh. Gery doesn't mean it, he does like acting funny to make everyone happy.

Both eyes are looking at me now. Gery's on my left and Anna's on my right.

"Thank you, you are truly best friends" I said in earnest. However, I have completely lost my confidence now and need to be convinced by them.

I then told her what Mother Ferdi told me. That I could be accepted to work at the best medical institution in the country because of Dio's help. That if it wasn't for Dio, I wouldn't be anyone right now.

I feel like I can't do anything without my ex-boyfriend.

"Cell, I don't think so. Two years together and being your intern, I can say you really deserve to be here" Anna said.

Gery glanced, "I think Mother Ferdi just wanted to make you more miserable by saying this. Dio may have asked his father to hire you here, but not because you can't afford it. Because he knows you have so much quality and he doesn't want you to be in the wrong institution."

For years, I tried to prove to the Dio family that I could succeed on my own, even if I wasn't from a wealthy family.

Who would have thought that my current career was also sustained by them from behind? Who would have thought that I could not enter this institution because of my own abilities?

For the first time, I disagree with what Dio did for me.

"Dio just wants to help make your dream come true" Anna encouraged me. "Remember what Doctor Bernard said? You are the most reliable student. Do you think Doctor Bernard lied when he said that?"

That's right, Doctor Bernard even awarded me the award as the best resident doctor in the early days of work.

"I hope Dio doesn't whisper anything to Doctor Bernard" said Anna.

"Cell, do you doubt the honesty and dedication of Doctor Bernard? She was the most objective and just person the world had ever known," Anna still tried to strengthen my heart.

"Selena, should I mention what you've done since SD? meticulous intelligent champion, debate champion, chemical olympic champion, chess champion is also the right level at the sub-district level but lost to Gery Mahabrata, "gery cerocos.

Anna and I couldn't help but laugh.

I'm really lucky to still have Gery and Anna at my bottom right now.

And this is my first ordeal without Dio.

Maybe, God does want me to be independent by not always hanging my fate on my former lover who has now slept first.

Dio, pray I'm strong here before we meet again there huh.

I will always love you. No matter how stupid you are to always try to make me happy.
