"If only I could get pregnant and give birth, I wouldn't be lonely like this..." Syifa closed her eyes, her tears falling down. She wanted to feel what it was like to be a mother, to be a woman. Although Sean never demanded anything from her, but still she felt that she was a less than perfect wife for her husband.
"Astagfirulah... What was I thinking? All is the destiny of God, and I must not constantly complain. There are still many people whose lives are under me, but they are always grateful and never complain..." Syifa closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down.
Syifa actually wanted to ask Sean's permission to adopt a child in an orphanage. But before the idea was said, disaster came. Mother Yasmin left first to make Syifa undo his intentions. Moreover, they both dissolved in grief for months.
Syifa wiped her tears, she better go to the kitchen alone. Maybe there is something she can do there, rather than alone in the room and dissolved in sadness about her who feels not yet a full woman because she can not get pregnant and also give birth to a child.

A middle-aged woman seemed to be crying stifled, her chest was tight to see a helpless figure lying beside her.
"Diana... Forgive Mami.... Mami please give Mami a chance to fix everything..." Ny's Voice. Viona sounded soft, lamenting the fate of her only child.
"Mi, how's Diana?" Mr. Frans asked as soon as he walked into Diana's nursery. Mrs. Viona just shook her head.
"Pi, we need to keep persuading Diana to have surgery. Mami doesn't want to lose Mami's daughter." Mrs. Viona is back.
"Aren't we always persuading him? But Diana always refused to have surgery. Papi doesn't know what else to do." Mr. Frans looks frustrated.
"We need to find someone named Sean, Pi. Papi himself would know, if only that name was always called Diana."
Four months ago Diana was sentenced to suffer from end-stage liver cancer, it happened because of her life in the past who always consumed alcoholic beverages.
Indeed, in recent months Diana had often felt pain in her chest and also vomited blood, but she never cared about it. Until one day, Diana felt pain so much that she was finally unconscious.
Coincidentally, when Diana was at home, the servants who saw her employer passed out immediately took her to the hospital.
Doctors sentenced her to liver cancer, but again Diana did not care. Want to be sick whatever he is, his life is also meaningless.
The only way to survive is to have a liver transplant. But Diana always refused, why is she in surgery and healed? While no one cares about him.

"South...." That voice sounded very soft.
"Diana, are you awake?" Ask Ny. The still loyal Viona sat beside him.
"Where is lean?" Diana asked without seeing her mother.
"Who is Sean, Diana?"
While in the hospital, only Sean's name was always said by Diana, but Ny. Viona and her husband never knew who Sean was.
"South..." Diana's words stopped, she glanced at Ms. Viona cynically even with a weak look.
"What does Mama know about me?" Diana asked, looking forward.
"I've been living alone for so long, Mami and Papi never cared for me in the least. You sent me abroad, without ever asking me what I wanted..." Tight as it feels, considering life used to be in a foreign country and only alone. Diana wiped her flowing tears.
"Diana... Mommy..."
"Come out, Diana wants to be alone..." The girl turned her back, turned her back to her mother.
"I'm sorry Mommy, Di..." That's all you can say, mrs. Vionas.

Today is a holiday, Sean and Syifa still curled up under the covers. After the morning prayers, Sean pulled his wife back to bed.
"Is there a plan today?" Ask Syifa.
"Looks not. I want to spend all day with you in bed." Sean showered Syifa's innocent face with his kiss. Making the woman laugh held back amusedly.
"I can't stop it." Sean said with a grin, even the man was already on Syifa's body.
After doing the duty of husband and wife, now Sean and Syifa are watching together in the family room. They always spend time together on holidays.
"Excuse me, Mr. Madam. In front is a guest, wants to meet with the Master." The words of one of the servants there made Sean and Syifa turn their heads.
"Who's Bi?" Ask Sean.
"His name is Mr. Frans Darmawan and his wife, Mrs Viona." Answer that service.
"Mr Frans Darmawan?" Sean felt strange by that name.
"Yes, sir."
"Why Mas?" Ask Syifa.
"It's okay. Bi, please ask Mr. Frans to wait a minute."
"Okay sir, I'm sorry." Service is retreat.
"Come on." Sean got up from his seat.
"Where to?" Ask Syifa.
"We're ahead, meet Mr. Frans." Take Sean.
"But Mr. Frans is looking for Mas, not me."
"We meet together. I don't think I have any acquaintance named Frans."
"Mas doesn't know him?" Syifa got up from her seat. Sean just nodded.
The couple arrived in the living room, where there appeared to be a middle-aged man with a woman of about the same age.
"Good day." Say hello Sean.
"Good day, are you Mr Sean?" Ask Mr. Frans.
"Yes my Sean. Just call Sean. Please sit down."
"Thank you." Mr. Frans and his wife sat down again. Sean and Syifa sat across from them.
"I'm sorry that our arrival interfered. Meet me Frans and this is my wife, Viona." Mr. Frans introduced himself.
"Sir, how can I help you?" Sean asked. While Mr. Frans and his wife look doubtful, Mrs. Viona glanced at Syifa who replied to her with a smile.
"I'm sorry to know, Miss what is Mr Sean?" Ask Ny. Vionas.
"Oh, this is my wife. Asyifa." Answer Sean. Syifa nodded. There was a look of disappointment on the middle-aged woman's face.
"What's really going on? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Look Sean, we're Diana's parents. You know Diana, right?" Mr. Frans opened his voice.
"Diana?" Sean and Syifa stared at each other.
"Yes, we're Diana's parents."
"Sorry before, we would like to ask, have you and Diana ever had a relationship? Meaning dating? Sorry again, please don't take it personally." Said Mr. Frans feeling bad.
"I know Diana, but our relationship is just a friend. I have never met Diana again." Sean was polite.
