Sharing Love: One Roof of Three Hearts
The world of Lily

That morning Lily came to Alana's house. As usual she wants to take Arlan and bring him to her house, because it's Thursday, as usual her mother-in-law will come to visit to see Arlan.

Ema does not work, but her social activities are so much that she usually only comes to see her grandson three times a week. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. But sometimes if he doesn't come on Saturday, then Ema will come on Sunday. On that day, Arlan will be longer at home than with Alana.

"Face of a pale brother, a sick brother?" alana asked to watch Lily who was tying Arlan's sling to her body.

"Ga Al's. I'm kind. Lack of sleep anyway. Last night I couldn't sleep" said Lily kissing Arlan's puffer cheek.

Already used to being with Lily, Arlan no longer cried if taken to his house. Maybe the boy knew he had two mothers.

Alana has finished packing the ASI that Lily will bring later. "Oh yes, brother, how are our parents? all good, right?"

"Huh? what's Al?" tanya Lily is still playing with Arlan.

"Father same mother. What's the same brother?"

"What the hell is it. Why emang? I haven't seen them in a long time either. The day after tomorrow's mother's house," said Lily still tickle Arlan until the baby laughed.

"Well, didn't you last Sunday go to mom's?"

"To mom's house? oh yes it is. I'm going there. Hehehe.I forgot," he said, developing a smile on Alana. But her eyes were hiding something, Alana could feel it.

"Udah Al? we go first huh" Lily picked up Arlan's purse and got out of Alana's room.

Alana's feelings said something had changed from Lily. Well, she wasn't sure it was just that she felt her brother was a little different.

At two o'clock, Alana promised to meet the store owner, and now she was in front of the store that she would make her bakery place. From the location and also the building, Alana really likes it. The place is strategic, close to one of the private schools and also the hospital that is one foundation with the school. A little ahead, the office area that he believes his employees will get to his shop later.

"With Alana's mother?" greet a fat man, approaching him who sat pensively on the porch of the shop.

"Eh yes. With Mr Jarwo?" Alana got up to receive the man's hand. The two chose to speak at the cigarette shop next door. Ordering two bottles of tea for them.

"So how is it, sir? may yes I rent the rukonya" Alana started to open the conversation, not wanting to mince words directly into the topic.

"Sorry mbak. If I can't love that. Add a little more" said Mr. Jarwo with his thick slab.

"But I only have that kind of money, sir. Not to mention buying a tool for cakes, employee salaries and also renovating the contents of the circuit"

"I'm sorry, ma'am. If you do not add another 10 million from the price that you have to say, I am sorry, you can not rent the rukonya" declined Mr. Jarwo with courtesy.

Alana was no longer begging. He knew it was the final decision of the owner. He was eager to get that place, out of all the places he had seen, this was the most affected in his heart.

"Good ma. Just not feeling well. Ma, can I take a break to my room, okay?" Lily could no longer. His body feels weaker.

"Yes, take a break. Mama's gonna take care of Arlan"

Once in the room, Lily broke down her body. A tear fell on his cheek. Tightness in the chest makes it difficult to breathe and feels pain. His head kept turning, and a little shivering.

It started two weeks ago, every night Lily has a fever, but usually the fever strikes her only at night. The next morning he was better, so he could play with Arlan.

Lily doesn't know what happened to her. Starting after the completion of the month two weeks ago, his appetite decreased, to pain in his heart. Lily is not too confusing because usually she is so after her period. But last day Lily's condition did not seem to improve.

Worried about her often dizzy state and also feeling weak, Lily decided to see a general practitioner near her home. From the results of the examination, the doctor said nothing serious. It's just that he's required to get enough rest.

Time passed, three days later, suddenly his body dropped again. Luckily it only happened at night, so Arun did not see him in a sick condition.

Until last week Lily decided to go to a specialist in the hospital. Returning to Santi's house, Lily went to see a specialist. It was then that Lily was struck by the painful news, overturning her world instantly. Lily has stomach cancer, or more often known as stomach cancer.

But doctors need to do gastroscopy to take a sample of gastric tissue and examined in the laboratory. The doctor asked Lily to be patient until the lab results came out.

When the results were out and read by the doctor, Lily's body trembled. He did not believe that he was suffering from a dangerous disease. During this time the symptoms of nausea and also dizziness and heartburn pain he was used to feeling, and always ignored. She thought it was common because of the effects her menstruation had.

To confirm the results, the doctor also conducted a series of other tests on Lily. Starting from blood tests, X-rays to CT scans to know the development of cancer faced by Lily has gone to what extent. The results have been confirmed, Lily was diagnosed with acute gastric cancer.

But the medical team tried to calm him down. Said that there was still hope if Lily followed all the treatment from the hospital. From radiotherapy to chemotherapy.

But whatever the doctor said that tried to calm her down, Lily's heart was broken. Crying sobbing in front of the doctor made the doctor feel sorry for him. Lily was young, but had already contracted the disease. An irregular diet and also carelessly make the trigger of this disease.

Lily didn't want anyone to know how she was. Next week the schedule starts with the consul with the doctor who handled it from the beginning.

At 5 p.m., Ema came home. Lily, awakened by her servant, rushes to meet Ema, who is still playing with Arlan. This time the boy looked neat and fragrant. "I'm sorry ma, I fell asleep" he said sitting in front of Ema. "Mama's been bothered bathing Arlan"

"Ga papa's. Mama's grandmother, can dong bathe this grandmother's favorite granddaughter" he replied as he kissed Arlan's cheeks.

"Thank you ma"

"Yes, my mom came home first. Monday just came again, because mama wants to go to Malang with friends of mama's social foundation"

"Yes ma. Be careful mom. Grandma's chest"

Lily was still staring out until her car-in-law disappeared at the turn.
