As the car stopped in the parking lot, Hanum began to blink his eyes. All looked foreign, only he could already guess if they had reached his destination.
"We have arrived, dear." said Arkha, who was waiting for his wife to recover all consciousness.
"Let's go down." take Hanum by justifying her hijab.
Although doubtful of his arrival could be accepted by the in-laws, but Hanum only kept that doubt in his heart.
Arkha clasped the hand of the petite woman after asking the hospital room of Ms. Arini. Occasionally he glanced at Hanum's lethargic face, as they traced through the hospital corridor that looked extremely desolate.
VIP room no.09, both of them stopped, knocked slowly and opened the door of the room.
" Bang Arkha. "greet Kania as she sees Arkha walking in.
"How is Ibuk?" ask Arkha. The man was no longer able to cover up his anxiety when he saw some medical devices clinging to his mother's body.
"Morning tomorrow Mother was operated on for the installation of the heart ring." said Kania with a glance at Hanum who was standing next to Arkha.
"How are you, Hanum?" greet Kania with a friendly smile on her sweet face.
"Good." They also shake hands and hug each other.
"Nia, you better go home with Hanum to rest. Let Brother wait for Mother." said Arkha who did not have the heart to see Hanum already looks bad.
"I'm here with Arkha alone." Hanum refused.
"Come, Honey. Look at! You look so tired. Tomorrow morning, you and Kania can come here again." said Arkha who still got the headband from Hanum.
"Did you and Sister Hanum rest at home first! Tomorrow morning just come here. " Kania gives a different option. He also understood that his brother was tired as well.
"No, I'll take care of you! " strictly Arkha.
"And I will accompany Arkha" heard Hanum interrupt her sentence Arkha stared intently at his wife for a rejection.
"I can sleep anywhere. I beg!" hanum's unusual whimper left Arkha unable to resist him anymore.
Eventually only Kania returns home, while Hanum and Arkha are waiting for her mother who is still asleep.
Arkha glanced at the clock that showed ten o'clock at night as he sat his body on the sofa next to the patient's bad.
"Mama and Papa have arrived at the hotel, brother. They decided to take a break first. Tomorrow morning just come here." said Hanum after receiving a call from Papa Hans.
The woman who had been hit by fatigue also leaned her head on her husband's arm.
"You just fall here" said Arkha asking Hanum to put his head on both thighs.
Not yet Hanum ventured, Bu Arini was seen opening her net.
"Arkha. You have come, son." call him in a soft voice. A faint smile was seen from his pale face.
"Yes, Mom, Arkha is here. Don't worry, mother." Arkha approached Arini with Hanum following in his footsteps.
"Why did you bring him here? Don't you know that you don't like it? Do you want me to die instantly." Arini stared hard at Hanum. Hanum just looked down. He did not want to add to the situation due to the debate.
"Arkha please, Buk... We focus on Mom's health." Arkha tightly grasped Hanum's hand. The man begged Hanum to understand.
"But I don't like him being here with you" replied Arini.
"That means you kicked Arkha out too?"
Hearing her son Arini's question only snorted in annoyance. She did expect her son to be able to accompany her at this moment.
Seeing her mother close her eyes again Arkha raised Arini's blanket to the chest. The man went back to his couch with Hanum.
"I'm sorry, my mom!" lirih Arkha made Hanum just nod, even though in her heart the woman felt very angry.
"Thank you." Arkha kissed his wife. Then, ask Hanum to rest.
Hanum lay down on the sofa with her head resting on her husband's thigh. It only took a few minutes for the girl to fall asleep because of her fatigue.
Arkha looked at the tired face that was now feeling on his lap. He felt very guilty, when Hanum got bad treatment from his mother. He was sure Hanum was desperately holding back emotions to keep things from going awry.

The operation went well, giving a little relief to the man who is now leaning on a long chair in front of his mother's room.
"Sir, drink warm!" hanum said by offering warm tea to her husband.
"Thank you." Arkha took one cup of warm drink from Hanum's hand. The two now enjoy a warm tea drink bought by Hanum from the canteen.
"In a moment, Kania arrives, after which we can forage." Both have not had breakfast. Arkha had already asked Hanum for breakfast first, but Hanum refused him if he did not eat with her.
The long haired girl stepped quickly towards the two with a couple. Earlier, one of the nurses who knew Kania called her when she saw the girl enter the hospital lobby. Coincidentally there is Hans with Zoya is asking the nursery room of Ms. Arini.
"Sister, it's Kania's the same Mama and Papa." Hanum smiled cheerfully. Then stand up to welcome the arrival of his parents, as well as Arkha looks happy to see the three walking closer.
"How's your mother doing?" hans asked as Arkha greeted her in-laws.
"Still waiting for the rummy, Pa. But, thank God the operation went well." explained Arkha who responded with a nod of charismatic man.
Kania who had been observing Hanum's parents had become increasingly curious when his vague memory was fixed on one of the lawyers who was quite known to the public.
"This is Mama and my Papa, Dek. " said Hanum introduced Mama and her papa. The call 'Dek' did indeed feel strange to Hanum who was younger than Kania.
The girl smiled awkwardly and then shook hands. Zoya greeted him with a friendly smile and made several greetings to familiarize their introductions.
"She's your lawyer, Nia. Papa Hans Satrya Jagad." said Arkha who had made Kania stuck. He did not expect that all this time his brother-in-law was the daughter of someone who was quite respected.
The girl who is currently interning in one of the advocate's offices is increasingly nervous about meeting directly with a figure whom she has always admired.
It turns out that not only his genius handles many cases, but in the eyes of Kania he includes men who are quite handsome and charismatic. A pretty perfect admiration.
After a little stale, they decided to go inside to see the condition of Ms. Arini. Meanwhile, Arkha asks Hans for permission to take Hanum for breakfast first.
Not wanting to linger long enjoying breakfast that has been said to be late, Arkha also took a change of clothes in the car. He will clean himself because his body feels sticky.
"After bathing, Arkha should rest first" Hanum said as they walked to return to Arini's room.
"It should be good to do hard work right now, Num." Arkha's tease makes Hanum pinch the waist of the man who walks over his shoulder.
Arkha could already joke around melting the atmosphere. They walked towards Arini's room with small talk to relieve the fatigue of the two.
After the door was knocked slowly, Arkha went inside followed by Hanum. Her mother was conscious and the doctor was checking her condition.
After the departure of the doctor who examined Arini's condition, the elderly woman again noticed two people standing near her daughter-in-law. He was a little surprised when the petite beautiful woman hugged and embraced his daughter-in-law.
"Mom, this is papa and Hanum's mother" Arkha said, introducing her in-laws.
There was a sense of disbelief when he heard his son's confession. The woman who still looked weak again observed, the two strangers in her room.
"Yes Ma'am, meet me Zoya and her husband Mas Hans. We're both Hanum's parents." said Zoya walking up to the woman who was still staring at him blankly.
With a polite attitude, Zoya greeted his besan followed by Hans who still displayed his high charismatic.
Arini stared fixedly at Zoya, a beautiful woman with a simple look but quite elegant. Yes, a circular diamond ring in Zoya's tiny finger makes Arini sure that the woman who claimed her mother Hanum was not an arbitrary woman. Arini returned Zoya's greeting with a clumsy smile, then turned her gaze to Hans who was standing full of authority.
"Are you really the parents of his wife Arkha?" arini's question made Hans feel astonished. There was a bit of a sense that was quite awkward for Hans, there was even a question 'Are his daughters not well received?' now it's on his head. Unlike Zoya who already knows the relationship of her daughter and in-laws.
"of course? Is there something wrong with my daughter?" asked Hans with great emphasis.
"I'm sorry we just got to come out, ma'am. Hanum is our second daughter." Sela Zoya holds her husband's hand. The graceful woman always wanted everything to go well.
"Oh, it's okay, Besan. Thank you for visiting me." replied Arini with a sparkling face. His look at Hanum was different. Arini believes her daughter-in-law is from a priyayi family.
Arkha smiled with relief, it turned out that the relationship between him and the family was going well. He glanced at Hanum with great happiness.
After a moment of trite talk, Arini asks Arkha to bring her in-laws to the house and find souvenirs. In fact, the old woman convinced her son and daughter-in-law that she would be fine even if only accompanied by Kania.
"Eat him Buk, do not like to see people from outside. Fortunately, Hanum's son is good. So Mother can still be besananan with the Priyayi family." Kania quipped when only the two of them lived.
Arini knew she was wrong, The woman just snorted and glanced at her daughter who seemed to corner her. But, for Arini his attitude is not all wrong because a mother would want the best for her child let alone a favorite son that she is very proud of.
