Sharing Love: One Roof of Three Hearts
Being late to realize

One by one, I recognized the people in the room. His condition is getting better today. Fifteen minutes ago he came to his senses, and the doctor called his family, allowing him to visit Gara.

"You're conscious, son?" mama Reni lowered her head, whispered in the man's ear and kissed him on the forehead.

"Ma-ma.." surau Gara sounded raucous. Trying to remember the last incident he experienced until he ended up in the hospital.

That day, after meeting Alana, Gara stopped by a bar. Sit alone with a confused mind and make friends with drinks.

Too naive if he wants death, but life without Alana is also impossible. Drinking too much to make him drunk.

At 1 am, Gara returned home in a staggering state, riding a motorbike at high speed in consciousness at only 50 percent. During the journey, Alana's shadow continued to spin in her head.

The road at dawn is so definitely quiet, so Gara felt the speed of the motor can be added again. Avoiding the hole in the asphalt, the motor Gara so screwed until inevitably hit the road barrier again. A powerful bang was heard at that moment and instantly Gara fell, slamming far into the middle of the road.

"Please son, don't stay in mama. Mama can't possibly afford to lose you, Ga" sobs mama Reni again heard.

"Already, ma. Don't cry anymore. My mom has been crying since yesterday without stopping. Besides, because it's human," said Gilang to calm his mother.

"Right ma, Gara needs a break. Remember the doctor said, don't talk too much," Gala agreed with her brother.

"We should just go out, so Gara can rest," continued Gilang gave advice. Mama Reni nodded in agreement. Whatever he's gonna do now, just for the good of Gara.

One by one, Gilang who was near the door, then followed Gala and his wife. Mama Reni who was near Gara also followed them in Nadia's father who had been silent behind her in-laws. Nadia was so grateful to see Gara siuman, to not want to say anything, just keep shedding tears while praying to the divine.

When Nadia was right by her bedside, Gara stopped the girl's steps by pulling the side of her dress. Nadia turned her head, as did Reni's mother who came to a stop.

"You stay, I'm thirsty" said Gara.

Mama Reni did not say anything, slapped Nadia's hand with a smile, then left the two in the room.

Nadia's clumsy, that's for sure. Slowly move to the table, take warm water, and put a straw in the glass, to make it easier for Gara to drink.

Half of the glass was drunk. By removing the straw from her mouth, Nadia concluded the man no longer wanted to.

"W-is there anything else you need?" tanya Nadia stammered. It felt like he could not stand up straight, if Gara looked at him like that, so deep and sharp.

"I'm sorry if I let you down all this time. Maybe you've been so tormented in a relationship like this. If you want to get away from me, then do Nadia. You're young, you deserve a better life and relationship with people who value you more" Gara said.

Slowly, the girl's sobs sounded. So painful and heartbreaking. Nadia continued to cry with a downcast face.

"Nadia.." said Gara for the second time to say his name during his wife, the first time during the Kabul hijab, then today and it was able to make Nadia lift her face.

"I'm sorry, you deserve to be happy. Forget the covenant of our parents, get yourself out of this marriage" Pinta Gara said.

"If that's what you want, if you think it's the best, then I'm sincere" replied Nadia smiling bitterly. Slowly his hand rose up on his nape, long there opened the hook of the necklace hanging from his neck.

Nadia clasped the pendant that had been around her neck since childhood, closing her eyes as if saying goodbye.

"I no longer need to keep it after my departure, thanks for all this time, I said, Ga. I'll call bang Gilang to accompany you"

Just about to step up, Gara pulled Nadia's hand, while her other hand held the pendant.

"It's..."

Nadia turned to look at the girl, looking into her eyes. "15 years ago you gave it to me, you asked me to keep it until you came to see me again"

There was a pause and a deep breath from Nadia. "I think it's time I gave it back to you" Nadia tried to take off her smile.

"You're the toothless?" ask Gara not to believe. The girl who had been his wife was his sister and childhood friend. The long time he watched the girl, still in disbelief, the little girl who always comforted him, cherished him since childhood was his wife.

Gara does not remember his childhood friend, and as far as I know his name is not Nadia. Om Leo, his papa always called the Princess, and Gara gave the title of toothless because at that time Nadia's teeth at the top were already flat alias tooth.

Nadia simply smiled in response to Gara's question. "I'm leaving, Ga. I will explain to mama Reni and my papa the reason we separated" Nadia has stepped away from Gara who still has not returned from her consciousness. His memories led him to play deep into his wonderful childhood with Nadia.

"You out, Nad? how's Gara? did he ask you to come out because he didn't want to rest?" mama Reni railed against Nadia with many questions.

"Ga ma's. I chose to go out. Ma, bang, sis..," said Nadia observing one by one family members.

"Thank you for taking care of me, being kind to me and accepting me in this family. I am grateful to have been part of this family. Mama Reni, thank you for being the figure of a mother that I have longed for, I who since childhood have no mother, can finally feel the affection of a mother. Please, let me leave this family. Gara and I will never be happy in this marriage. I'll talk to papa, so we'll take care of our divorce papers"

Finally Nadia said everything, the burden squeezed in her chest as if it had evaporated. Now he can smile wide. The pain is still there and may take a long time to heal, but Nadia is sure to be able to continue her life well.

"Why should that be, Nadia? Mama knows, because it's been a lot wrong with you, but I beg you to stay, son" Mama Reni clasped Nadia's hand.

"It's all for our common good, Ma. Please let us say our farewell"

"You wait a minute, mama wants to talk to Gara" mama Reni has risen from her seat, stepped steadily into Gara's room.

Gara was staring at the locket when Mama Reni entered. The tired face did not know how to show its expression. Mama Reni doesn't know how to cry anymore.

"Ga, can't you accept Nadia as your wife? Did her sacrifice all this time not touch your heart? is divorce the only way for you?" mama Reni was crying again.

"Who said we were getting a divorce?" tanya Gara looked at her mother. His face has changed.

"Nadias. He was very happy with all the family members. He'll ask for a divorce from you. He wants to part with you!"

"Tell him, it'll only happen if I die!"
