"Assalamualaikum Papahs....Well, how was today?"

"Bah, the Cherry had checked the contents. Thank God the Cherry child is healthy. Papah's granddaughter Pah, in two months she was born into the world. Cherry hopes Papah is conscious and can get through everything Pah." Cherry held back her crying, she did not want to go back to grieving in front of the Papah.

For the next three hours Cherries return home to pick up Regan at school. The hijab-wearing woman with a robe attached to her body was resigned and immediately left the hospital.

Not long ago Tio entered the room. He decided to stop by after doing a health check-up. Enter with the mother, they approach.

"Well, it's still the same." said Tio with a deep sense of guilt.

Mama did not answer, she was only able to take a deep breath. He also looked on pity, the man who helped the son had not yet come to his senses. Even now his body is getting thinner.

"Om, I'm sorry Tio. Tio made life like this. Be aware om, Tio will consider Om like Papah Tio himself." Tio lowered his head, not knowing what else to do. The doctor also seemed to have raised his hand and only asked the family to pray a lot so that there are miracles that come to heal Pak Bima.

"Tio, look at that kid!" mamah is approaching. Tio also raised his head to see that there were tears in the corner of his eyes. In addition, his fingers began to move.

"Well, look at Mah!"

"Yes, son" both noticed. Until the eyes of Pak Bima opened slowly.

"Well, Tio call the doctor first." Panicked Tio walked out of the room and called the doctor. There is a special button in the room. The doctor immediately ran to check on Mr. Bima. Tio and Mamah pulled over as the Doctor began to conduct the examination.

Mr. Bima still seems silent, maybe he is still adjusting the situation. Until the doctor finished checking, Mr. Bima was still silent.

"How is Mr Bima Dok?" ask mama.

"Not much development, but we have to be grateful because Mr. Bima has passed the critical period."

"Thank you Doc."

"So once I check the other patients first, if there is anything with Pak Bima immediately call me."

"Good Doc."

Tio approached Pak Bima, staring at the sad face that began to look at him. Until Tio's smile expands.

"Om, it's Tio. Tio Om saved from the accident that hit Tio a month ago. Sorry Om for Tio, Om being like this. And Tio also wanted to thank Om for helping Tio."

Pak Bima shed tears, he still looked at Tio with a raging feeling in the chest.

After Mamah Tio contacted her husband, she immediately approached. Pak Bima's eyes bulged signify surprise when he saw Mamah Tio.

"A.b.a..The arrita!"

Tio was stunned when the name of the madam was thrown from the lips of Pak Bima. In addition to the usual mamah attitude is not surprised at all.

"Yes Mr. Bima."

Tears Pak Bima back dripping, his eyes move weak still unexpected. "I'm sorry my wife Arsita, all her treatment has been avenged to my daughter. My daughter's been suffering all this time." Pak Bima spoke in a stern voice.

"I've forgiven your wife, don't make it a thought. Now the most important thing is that you heal and be healthy again as before."

"Thank you..."

Tio still did not expect if his parents had a past with Pak Bima.

"Son..." Pak Bima looked at Tio with a difficult to interpret gaze.

"Yes Om..."

"May Om ask you a favor?" he nodded with a stammer.

"Please marry my daughter, she doesn't have anyone to lean on if I'm gone. At least marry for the sake of my two grandchildren."

Tio was stunned to hear Pak Bima's request, as well as his mother. They both fell silent, until Pak Bima spoke again.

She returned to tears, "she was a widow whose husband had died. His son is still a child. I'm all he has. Oh please son!" said Pak Bima getting weaker.

Tio looked at the mama, he did not know what to do. The accident left him with a debt of life and now he is asked to marry a widow he does not know at all.

Seeing Pak Bima with tears that kept dripping made Tio unbearable, what else the look in his eyes hinted at the many burdens he thought.

"Son...."

Tio took a deep breath, turning towards the mama who was also crying looking at pity. "Follow your heart, son."

It was hard for Tio to decide, so he could not look to the future if he had to marry the daughter of Bima sir.

"Son, consider this your way of paying for my life."

Tio's eyes are breaking hearing Pak Bima's words. " Om..." Tio looked at Pak Bima who was getting weaker. Even his voice was getting louder.

The man closed his eyes before finally answering. "Yes Om, Tio will marry Om's daughter. But hold on..."

"Gue thought Pak Bima had no one, every time I came here there was no family to look after. But it turns out that he had a daughter, who would let his Papa alone in the hospital...."

Mr. Bima smiled, with tears should he say thank you. Until the sound of the door opening made mamah and Tio dumbfounded. The Papah came with the pregnant woman. Which turned out he knew and this morning had intersected.

"Father...." Cherry approached with a hard step, until Arsita who could not bear to reach his arm and drove to approach.

"Alhamdulillah Papah is conscious Pah." Cherry crying on the chest of the Papah, he hugged Pak Bima with a trembling body.

"Don't cry son, kill your son. You must be healthy," said Mr. Bima.

"Yes Pah, Papah Ceri apologized earlier when Papah opened his eyes Cherry is not on the side of Papah. Cherry picked Regan up at Pah's school."

Mr. Bima smiled, he was grateful to still be given the opportunity to see his daughter. "Greet Papah to Regan."

"Yes Pah..." Cherries stretched her arms, gently rubbing Papah's still dripping tears. "Don't be sad, papah will heal and we can be together again."

"Son, marry!"

Cherry glued to hear the words of Mr. Bima. "I mean Papah?"

"When Papah will soon be son, Papah asks you to marry so that later there will be a man who will take care of papah's daughter and grandchild."

Cherry quickly shook her head, her tears re-unraveled hearing the words of the Papah.

"Father will be healed, Cherry promises to take care of and care for Papah. Papah can't talk like that Pah."

"Son, Papah please.." said Mr. Bima. His chest began to tighten, making his breathing sting and so heavy.

"Well, Papah has to rest a lot. Don't talk like that again."

"Son, Papah please. This is Papah's last request. Marry him son. He's the young man Papah helped and maybe he's the one God sent for Papah's daughter."

Cherry straightened his body, he had not realized that since Papah was not alone. Cherry saw one by one the people who were in her Papah's room, starting from Mr. Juna who had taken the time to tell if the Papa was conscious. Then his gaze looked towards Mamah Tio who was looking at him with a sad look. And it ended with a young man he knew.
