Only Substitute Women
Shakila

Meanwhile, somewhere, precisely in a country in Asia, and is a neighboring country, Singapore, a beautiful woman was crying staring at the glass screen in front of her.

Not because what he was watching was a sad romance film, or other sad film, but the news about Arjuna and Anyelir's wedding that had just been held festively. Who else would that woman be if not Shakila, the woman who loved and loved Arjuna.

The woman's body looked thin, her eyes began to be sunken. He really looks weak now.

"Crazy, why are you crying, son?" suddenly a middle-aged woman came over to Shakila.

"He's married, Ma!" sahut Shakila in a soft voice

The woman turned to the glass screen and saw what her daughter saw.

"Easy! don't think too much, son! isn't this what you want? he can live happily, right?" said the middle-aged woman who turned out to be Shakila's mother.

"But my heart hurts, Ma. It really hurts. Juna even married a woman who looked like me. Why, can it be like that, Ma?" Shakila cried.

"That means, Arjuna's love for you is still great. But, even like that, you must be sincere, Kila. You wanted to see him happy, right? you yourself said you can never be calm if you have not seen Arjuna happy. Now, he's married, so you should pray for him to be happy" said his mother Shakila as she stroked the top of the princess's head.

"But, Ma! I was afraid that Arjuna would marry her just because she looked like me, and that she would take advantage of her resemblance to me" Shakila said.

The middle-aged woman smiled and gently stroked Shakila's back.

"You can't have such negative thoughts! Remember to always look at something positively first! now your job is to pray for Arjuna to be happy with his marriage. Now you focus on your recovery, son!"

"But my heart really hurts, Ma. I really can't lie about my feelings. Why does this disease have to be in my body? what sins did I make, Ma? I've been trying to keep a good man all this time, but why did God give me this disease?" pekik Shakila cried as much as she hit her own chest.

"Shakila calm down, son! don't torture yourself!" his mother Shakila tightly hugged Shakila's frail body.

"I should be the one next to Juna. I should have smiled happily at the wedding. But this disease took away all the happiness I dreamed of. Why is it that when I want to achieve my happiness, this disease appears, Ma? it should have been from the beginning before I loved Arjuna," Shakila is now completely out of control. The woman cried so badly that her mother could not hold back her tears from crying.

"Kila, calm yourself down, Son! this is what is called destiny. As human beings we can only plan, but God determines our destiny . So you have to accept the fate that comes to you" Shakila's mother again tried to calm her daughter down.

Yes, this is the reason Shakila left Arjuna's life. She has a disease that many humans fear. The disease is also a disease that takes many lives. Especially if it is not cancer. Shakila precisely has liver cancer, which is cancer that starts from the liver and can spread to other organs.

Shakila was so happy when she heard Arjuna convey his intention to continue their relationship to a more serious level.

The woman was so happy when the man of her heart gave himself a surprise in the form of a romantic proposal. When asked if he would be willing to marry Arjuna, of course he replied 'yes'.

However, that happiness only lasted for a while, as two days after the romantic proposal, Shakila suddenly had a high fever, prolonged nausea and no appetite. At first Shakila thought that she was just a fever and catching a cold, so she did not tell Arjuna about her condition, as the man was abroad on business. However, after a week, fever, nausea and no appetite were still ongoing, even Shakila's weight decreased drastically. Finally her mother decided to help the doctor to do an examination

"How's my son doing, Doc?" ask Shakila's mother impatiently.

The doctor who treated Shakila, did not immediately reply. The man's doctor exhaled quite heavily. Seeing the doctor's expression, it made Shakila and her mother, unsettled. They felt that what he was experiencing was not an ordinary illness.

"Dok, why shut up? please don't make us afraid and curious!" Shakila open the sound.

"Sorry before. Actually I'm very hard to tell you this, but inevitably I have to tell you too. Actually Miss Shakila has liver cancer, and has entered stage two," explained the doctor.

Shakila shut her mouth and shook her head. " I-this is a lie

Doc's? I couldn't have gotten the disease" Shakila said, still shaking her head.

"Sorry, Miss Shakila! but this is the truth. So you should do intensive treatment such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, if possible, surgery and liver transplantation. But, we have to find a donor who is healthy and certainly suitable. Take it easy, you are grateful to be detected now. Usually liver cancer is mostly detected in the advanced stage. So, now you still have a chance to do the treatment, and have hope to recover," explained the doctor.

"Why does this disease come when I want to get married, Ma?" peek Shakila, crying as you please.

"Son, don't cry. Now you must be eager to heal. Mama's sure, that Arjuna will definitely accept your condition," Shakila's mom is trying to cheer up.

"No, Ma! don't tell him about this. I want to be another wife who can serve her husband well. I don't want to, just got married, Arjuna who is tired of taking care of sick people like me. I also cannot guarantee that my disease will be cured. So, I beg Ma, don't tell him. Take me away from this country!"please Shakila with tears that have flooded her cheeks.

Seeing the condition of his weak daughter, made his mother Shakila cry. The middle-aged woman hugged Shakila tightly to provide comfort to her daughter.
