"Remember that a calamity that brings you closer to God is better than a blessing that keeps you away from God. " – Dr. Bilal Philips

"Sorry, Brother Yudha, Brother Aira. I'm taking Kak Lani to rest first" said Dira. The girl asked Lani to take a break. However, his older brother Lani refused. He still wants to talk to Yudha.

"I still want to be here. There's still so much I want to say to Yudha. I want to say everything."

Lani held her head back. The pain strikes again. Lani held her head. Pull hair.

"Ahh, sick!" lani Rintih. The woman got off the sofa and prostrated herself on the floor while pulling her hair.

Aira could not bear to see it. He stood up and so did Yudha. The man pulled Lani's body into his arms.

"Lani, relax. Don't pull your hair!" yudha said as she tried to remove Lani's hand from her hair.

Aira knelt beside Yudha, helping her lover release Lani's hand which was so strong that it pulled her hair up to several strands of hair.

"Aira, get the car ready. We're taking Lani to the hospital!" yudha's orders. The girl went straight to the car and started the engine.

Yudha carried Lani and carried her into the car. Dira sat in front with Aira driving her car.

While on the road, Lani calmed down a little. He realized that he was in Yudha's arms. Lani immediately cried.

"My sin must have been too great that God tested me with this kind of pain" Lani said.

"Patience and sincerity to face it all. You will be more calm. The Lord will not test His people beyond the limits of ability. If God tests you with this kind of pain, be assured it is because God thinks you are capable of dealing with it."

"This must have been a rebuke for my sins all along. Yudha, I'm sorry for all my mistakes. I'm sorry I ever hurt your heart. If I could turn back time, I wouldn't do that. I've been trying to remember, when did I meet your Papi? Why can I hurt you by cheating on you with your Papa? Why am I this. Why am I so stupid for doing that?"

Lani wants to hit him on the head.However, her hand is in Yudha's custody.

"There is no point in regretting your destiny. Everything has happened. If you want to become a better human being, repent and repent. Perhaps this God-given disease is cleansing from your sin!"

"Treatment and treatment?" ask Lani.

"Relieve by becoming a better person. Treat so that you are given long life in order to change yourself. Don't just give up and give up! God is training your patience. Be grateful for all the trials that have befallen you. If you are being tested, it means you are being perfected. Patience does not mean being passive and waiting for a miracle to come. However, patience is doing everything possible to change the situation that is happening to you. Then leave the rest to God."

Yudha stopped her words. The car has entered the hospital parking lot. Lani just realized they're in the hospital."

"Why are we going to the hospital? I don't want any medication. It's free. I'll die too!" yudha.

"I ...." Lani stopped her speech because Yudha cut her off.

"It hurts me so much when I see you sick. I am so sorry for your illness. I wish I could do something magical to take away all the pain you are experiencing right now. I beg you to seek treatment not to simply accept."

Aira swallowed her saliva. His throat felt choked to hear what Yudha said to Lani. The girl held her tight chest.

I can't be jealous. Was it not I who asked Yudha to meet Lani. I want Yudha to come to persuade and encourage Lani.

"I don't want to spend money on medication. Better that money for Dira later. I don't know how long I'm gonna be. I was afraid that when I left the world, I left nothing for Dira!"

"I'll pay for all your treatment."

"No need for Yudha, I don't want to owe anyone anything" Lani said. The woman massaged her forehead and pulled her hair.

"Do you love Dira?" ask Yudha

"Of course, Yudha. To me Dira everything."

"If you love her and want to live longer with her, don't give up. Treating it for longer can be with your sister. Don't think about the cost."

Yudha continued to persuade Lani to be ready for treatment. Until finally Lani agreed to all.

"Alright, Yudha. I'll get treatment but on one condition."

"What condition? If I can, I'll grant it!"

"Guide me during the treatment" said Lani.

Aira's chest became increasingly crowded to hear Lani's request. In his view Yudha from the rearview. It turned out that the man was looking at him too. Aira smiled and nodded her head gesturing for Yudha to accept Lani's offer.

"As a friend I will definitely accompany you" Yudha said.

Lani smiles..Yudha asks Dira to help Lani walk towards the IGD room. Meanwhile Yudha waited for Aira to get out of the car.

Just as Aira got out of the car, Yudha immediately hugged the girl no matter the crowd.

"I'm lucky to have you. Perhaps no word can express how happy I am right now, to be your lover. Thank you for removing the word nightmare from my life dictionary. You have made my life a dream come true. I love you" said Yudha, dyed Aira's hair.
