"Mas Yudha, if I knew how you were doing like this, I would immediately give you an answer, I'm afraid that you won't have time to hear that I want to be your wife" Qumil said, sobbing.

Unexpectedly, Yudha opened her eyes and smiled at Qumil.

"Well, tomorrow we get married, I want you to always be by my side" he said.

"Ha.. Yudha denger everything? Is Yudha sleeping?" ask the surprised Qumil.

"Yes, I'm sleeping, I'm so sleepy, but I clearly heard all your sayings, tomorrow we get married huh, hmm?"

.

"Why is Jud in a hurry?" helena asked after Qumil and Najma had gone home.

"If Mama Papa has agreed, Qumil's parents also allow, why postponed again Ma?"

"But you're still sick baby, hold on a minute, if you're out of the Hospital, yeah, you don't want a good wedding photo?" Helena tried to persuade Yudha.

"Promise Ma, if I am healed, I am married to Qumil" Yudha finally agreed. He thought also, the child of the person he married is not loved and is instead asked to nurse him who is sick again.

"Yes, you are very happy it seems like the proposal was accepted, later Mama will talk to me, you rest first," said Helena while stroking the child's head just like that. Yudha was always his favorite child.

In the general hospital..

Ardi had just come out of the operating room when Adzan dhuhur reverberated. The operation was very difficult and exhausting. After removing the surgery gown and gloves and mask, she immediately washed her hands. Then still wearing his surgical uniform he went to the mosque. When he came out of the mosque he met his assistant Ilham in the clinic, they talked about something important and serious.

"Alright Ilham, thanks for the information," said Ardi then went to the hospital canteen.

Najma waited in the cafeteria of the public hospital as they promised to have lunch together after this morning they could not have breakfast together because it was too late to leave.

Najma sits in the cafeteria, orders her favorite vanilla latte, and decides to wait for Ardi to order a meal together.

Najma felt like she was in pairs of eyes, and Najma looked around, it was true that those who were there were mostly looking at her, there were even whispers like talking about her.

Najma thought, actually what happened, what was wrong with her.

"Babe, have you been waiting a long time?" asked Ardi who had just appeared in front of him.

"It's only been ten minutes Mas" Najma glanced around, and they were still whispering talking about him.

"This is my drink?" ask Ardi.

"Yes, I was on vanilla latte ice, Mas, is something wrong with me? From the moment I was here, all rich in concern for me, there were whispers too,"

Ardi sipped his drink, and took Najma to his feet.

"Let's go Babe, let's go to my room, I've ordered food from outside, at the very least nyampe, we talk in my room, just" Ardi asked, Najma resigned to follow her husband, just follow her, it was uncomfortable to be in the cafeteria.

"Ah has arrived apparently our lunch," said Ardi when he opened the door of his break room and saw two boxes on the table.

"Well, I ordered my favorite bento rice" Najma said as she followed Ardi into the room and sat on the sofa near Ardi.

Najma actually wanted to ask about the matter in the cafeteria earlier, but he tried to be patient first, because the husband looked very hungry, and finally came to eat with solemnity.

"Alhamdulillah," said Ardi finished his lunch, and drank iced pandan tea from Arya restaurant earlier.

"Baby Mas?" ask Najma. He was about to ask about that but before he spoke, Ardi had already asked the question first.

"Where did Qumil meet Yudha?" ardi asked deliberately while stalling until Najma spent his lunch, because if he heard the bad news earlier, Ardi was afraid Najma could not eat because he was sad and surprised.

"Oh yes Mas, just as Qumil entered the room, brother Yudha again slept, Qumil cried to see the state of brother Yudha, continued while crying he said, Qumil said, the point is that he should have answered sooner that he wanted to be Yudha's wife,"

"Keep on.." Ardi can't wait to hear the rest of it.

"So brother Yudha woke up dong, it turns out he heard everything Qumil said, Qumil was ashamed and shocked dong, where brother Yudha said gini, well tomorrow we get married huh,"

"Keep, so they're getting married tomorrow?" ask Ardi.

"Yes, if suddenly rich is it all trouble Mas, fortunately with the permission of God also aunty Helena can persuade sister Yudha wedlock is already cured," concluded Najma who also evaporated his last spoon.

"Alhamdulillah be full" said Najma.

"There is this Yudha," added Ardi.

"Well, how was that?" The name he had asked.

"You're ready Babe, there's some unpleasant news about me at this hospital, I'm sorry about you, because they're all talking about you too" Ardi said.

"What's really going on?"

"You remember the nurse who used to chase me?" ask Ardi to Najma.

"Which one? What is that curly hair? She's beautiful, why Mas?"

"She's pregnant, and told everyone she's pregnant with my child" Ardi said.

Najma gaped, several times he blinked his eyes, surprised of course.

"But you believe me, don't you Babe? By Allah it is not my son" said Ardi.

"Yes, Mas, do not need to be asked again, all this time we both continue, separated only during working hours Mas aja, the rest of us are always together, the rest of us are always together, wonder how dare he say it's your son,"

"She told me she told me she told me she told me she had proof of the cctv recording when we spoke" Ardi said.

"Do you ever talk about it?" ask Najma.

"Never Babe, ever since I moved his operating schedule back then, I've never seen him,"

"Tomorrow I'd like to be examined on the same medical committee as the board of directors, and I'm confused what to prove, because if I just talk, it must not be trusted,"

"Please, in Shaa Allah there must be a way, be assured God must help us" said Najma who embraced and stroked Ardi's back. Ardi also feels unsettled, his good name and family at stake.

"Tomorrow I will accompany Mas to the medical committee, and if Mas has no work, we go to Mama Papa's house, we tell him what it is, and if Mas has no work, we go to Mama Papa's house, rather than later he both knew from others and so misunderstood, mending our own direct story," said Najma, his age was ten years younger, indeed, but his thinking can sometimes be more mature than Ardi's.
