"How's my dad doing, doc?" ask Anton to Fadli's doctor.

"The condition of Mr. Hasan is currently not stable. He had a heart attack. I need a medical emergency. Where blood flow to the heart muscle is hampered due to plaque or blockage in the blood vessels" Dr. Fadli explained the health of Mr. Hasan.

Care and monitoring are still being carried out in the ER. His heart rate is not yet normal, he is still mounted a drive device or pacemaker to overcome slow rhythm disturbances (bradycardia).

Anton was saddened to stare at his father's weakly lying face with medical devices attached to some of his body.

Halimah's mother sat alone in front of the hospital mosque. The woman, who was beginning to age, was unceasingly praying, as tears rolled down her cheeks. He pondered over what Mr. Hasan had said before falling into a coma.

POV BU HALIMAH

'Look at Anton now, not knowing yourself, a liar, at will. It's all because you spoiled him. Anton you always defend, if he makes a mistake'. Thus the speech of Mr. Hasan saw the behavior of Anton who had crossed the line.

I was wrong, I'm sorry my husband! I accept whatever you mean to me, because since I was a child Anton always defended, even though he was really on the wrong side. I'm always looking for excuses, so Anton doesn't look wrong.

There's actually a big secret I've kept for decades. Anton's not your real son, Hasan. Anton is the fruit of my love with Zaini. The youth of the village next door who always refused his arrival by my father, because Zaini son of the poor.

But Zaini has already managed to captivate my heart. Before I got married, I had sex with the man I loved. I was lulled in her seduction, and I relinquished my virginity for the sake of my love for her.

Before I got married, I was actually pregnant for a month. That is why my parents urged Hasan to propose to me immediately, to cover up the disgrace of my actions with Zaini.

I deliberately drip red medicine on the bridal bed sheet after you hooked me, so you thought I was a virgin. And my actions succeeded. Until now you don't know, my big lie all along.

I'm sorry Hasan. I was wrong. If I confess my lies to you, your heart will be broken. Because all this time you've been thinking of Anton as your own son.

Zaini finally deliberately went from his village to wander in Jakarta. Zaini wants to bury her good times with me. The man I wanted was shocked at my marriage to you Hasan.

I'll keep Anton's real father a secret. I don't want my house to fall apart. Let me bear my faults and lies.

SATURDAY AT ALMA'S HOUSE

Tok...

"It must have been Yunan. Tiara.. Please open the door! I want to prepare for the study tour later" Alma told Tiara.

"Ready ma. Must be mama deg degan now? The prince has come to fetch the princess" Tiara led her to her mother.

Since Alma was close to Yunan, Tiara loved to tease her mother. This mother and child are like friends, because Tiara has started to become a teenager, so it is natural to understand what her mother feels.

"Eee... Start it off! Don't talk macem-macem in front of Yunan ya Ti! Take care of your mother's good name! Watch out for embarrassment!" said Alma was a little worried to see the pity of his son.

"Quiet ma... Tiara can be sandelin, hehee... " Tiara walked quickly towards the front door.

"Assalamu'alaikum Tiara"

"Wa'alaikum hail om... Come on please come in! Wait a minute om, mom is still ready to make it later"

"Yes Tiara, it's okay, I'm patient waiting. Are om and Angga allowed to sit down first, are you told to stand up?" ledek Yunan on Tiara.

"Please sit down, Angga. Hee..." Tiara looks shy.

A moment later, Alma stepped towards the living room to meet the person she was waiting for.

"Mas Yunan, sorry to wait. Can you make some sweet tea first?" bargain Alma.

"No, Al... Thanks though. It will be late. It's seven o'clock less. Said the study tour left at 7 o'clock right".

"Yes, if we leave now, right?!" alma Pinta.

Alma, Tiara, Yunan, Angga, they took a car to Alma's school.

"For Alma's mom" said Miss Niken, one of Alma's teachers.

"Mom's morning. Meet my friend" Alma introduced Yunan to the teachers at her school.

"What friend is Alma's friend?" fashion ma'am Niken.

"Friends, cook the enemy ma'am??" alma replied with a smile and glanced towards Yunan.

Alma's face looked bright. Her sadness since her divorce with Anton has been treated by the presence of Yunan who accompanies her days, although often by phone. But it was enough to make Alma happy, because Yunan was able to provide comfort to him.

Likewise with Yunan. Ever since his reunion with Alma at the reunion, he's been excited again. The woman he coveted while in college, had been in plain sight. And it looks like Alma has given the green light to accept her proposal.

Destiny has found its own way. No matter how big the sharp pebbles in living life, but God knows the right time for His servant in sipping happiness.
