"Let Arrash sit down, mah, sit down son!" said Papah Ridwan and immediately obeyed Arrash.
"How about the dinner, dear" asked the curious mamah Novi.
"Surf mah, Nadia and I had dinner together" said Aarash.
"Did his dinner impress you?" ask mama Novi.
"Sorry mah pah Arrash is still a lot of work, Arrash to the room first" said Arrash.
"But mamah be_" said Mamah Novi cut off.
"Yes up, finish your work and get some rest" said Papah Ridwan.

"Don't put too much pressure on the match mah, it looks like Arrash is not interested at all" said papah Ridwan.

Arrash Room.
Arriving in the room, Arrash immediately changed his clothes with home clothes, but every movement always remembered Syaqilla. Syaqilla's smile, Syaqilla's voice, Syaqilla's pretty face, especially Syaqilla's gaze which instantly made her fall in love.
'It seems I've really fallen in love with her' inner Arrash turned her lips together. But his lips faded when he remembered Fikri's remark earlier this afternoon "Fikri, Syaqilla's future husband".
"I must soon find a woman I can love in order for this new-growing love to slowly fade away. I don't want to ruin their relationship, they seem to love each other" Arrash muttered alone in the room.
Arrash then approached the desk in his room, he began to work until 11 p.m.
...****************...
In hospital.
After Karin's doctor, Fikri approached Syaqilla first.
Chequek.
The door to Syaqilla's room opened.
"It's dinner" said Fikri while giving a rice box.
"Mas Fikri hasn't eaten either. Here are two rice, let's eat together" asked Syaqilla.
"Yes let's eat" said Fikri.
Fikri and Syaqilla ate together with their own food.
After finishing the meal, Fikri opened his voice.
"Tomorrow will perform the operation of the installation of the Gypsies is not the doctor Karin. Doctor Karin his father died so he will go home and leave for one week" said Fikri.
"Who replaced him?" ask Syaqilla.
"The doctor's name is Anita" said Fikri.
"Thank God it's still a female doctor" Syaqilla said.
"Yes" said Fikri then fell silent he hesitated to discuss his meeting with Alika.
"So when I was in the hospital, I met my ex-wife Alika. Turns out Riana is sick and hospitalized this has been three days" said Fikri sadly.
"Did Fikri see him?" ask Syaqilla.
"Not yet" said Fikri briefly.
"Why not go see him" asked Syaqilla.
"I was about to visit, but fearing my arrival would make a scene in front of Riana" said Fikri increasingly sad.
"Mas Fikri try it first, who wants to go to Riana. Good intentions Insyaallah will not happen anything" Syaqilla assured Fikri.
"Yes. I also want to see it directly. All this time only able to see on the phone was also because Alika secretly contacted me without the knowledge of her parents" said Fikri later.
"Iyaa mas, surely Riana also misses Fikri mas very much" Syaqilla said again.
"Then I go out first yes, I want to swipe Riana" said Fikri.
"Yes" replied Syaqilla while nodding.
After the departure of Fikri Syaqilla pensive.
Deep inside he loved Fikri, but because of Fikri's complicated past, Syaqilla postponed her marriage in addition to wanting to focus on her father's recovery.
'What will be after we get married you will prioritize me. I know there's still love for your ex-wife' Inner Syaqilla.
Syaqilla does not know that Fikri loves her very much, she is willing to wait even though Syaqilla continues to delay her marriage.
Since getting to know Syaqilla two years ago, Fikri managed to forget Alika's ex-wife.
Fikri occasionally communicates with Alika only for Riana.
...****************...
In a different place in Riana's ward.
Tok tok tok tok
Chequek..
Fikri knocked on the door and Alika opened it.
Fikri entered the cage, but only two steps said her former mother-in-law managed to stop her footsteps.
"Do you want to come here" asked her former mother-in-law cynically.
"Sorry mom I just want to swipe Riana" said Fikri.
"There is no need for you to be besuk, Riana does not need papah like you" said her former mother-in-law.
"I beg mom for this time just let me make Riana, allow me to take care of Riana tonight" said Fikri pleading.
"Never" said her former mother-in-law and pushed Fikri out of Riana's ward.
"Father" said Riana who was sick while crying.
Alikapun can only cry for his parents who hate Fikri because Fikri is not a rich person like them.
Fikri who had managed to be pushed out of the room was just crying.
How much she misses Riana.
He decided not to return to Syaqilla's hospital room, but he chose to go to the hospital.

Morning arrives.
Arrash woke up at six in forty minutes.
Last night he had trouble closing his eyes because he kept thinking about Syaqilla.
Arrash got out of bed and opened his phone.
Many missed calls and messages from unknown numbers. Arrash chose to ignore it because he already knew it must be Nadia because it was visible from the Profile Photo number.
Just as Arrash was about to put down his phone, the number came back to him.
Arrash lazily lifted it.
"Good morning Arrash, did you sleep well?" nadia said across the phone.
"Yes" said Arrash briefly.
"Arrash I'm at your house, this is with aunt Novi preparing breakfast" said Nadia.
Arrash is shocked to learn of the girl's arrival.
'Why did he come here' Inner Arrash.
