After hearing the news that Erika was sick. Ismalia went straight to Erika's house. Arriving there Bik Inah said that Erika was hospitalized because her stomach ulcer recurred. Ismalia went straight to Harapan Bunda Hospital where Erika was treated.

Arriving there Ismalia saw Erika's family members in the room including Mandala. Erika still closed her eyes asleep after taking the medicine given by the nurse. Long enough Mandala wants to talk something to Ismalia. He invited Ismalia to chat alone outside the room.

Ismalia followed Mandala who had first come out and sat in the waiting chair. Ismalia sat with her face down. Mandala looked at Ismalia.

"What do you want Om to talk about?" tanya Ismalia stuttered and was nervous.

"Ekhem.I want to talk about what Erika said that night. How do you think?"

"W-how is Om?"

"On Erika's request regarding our arranged marriage."

"Well then I'm confused as to how Om should. For sure I don't want to split the relationship between Om and Erika just because of me." Ismalia said face down.

"As of now Erika was experiencing pain from thinking about the creation of that time. I once told Erika that she would cancel her intention not to continue this matchmaking and Erika agreed."

"Then don't cancel" said Mandala, flat and cold.

Ismalia heard Mandala's words shocked and dumbstruck without saying a word.

"I mean Om ap-what?" ismalia stuttered and distrusted with Mandala's words.

"We accepted the match for Erika's sake. I don't want my only daughter to experience this kind of pain anymore. For you you better think back to what I said." asked Mandala.

"iya-iya Om. I also don't want Erika to get sick again. Moreover, the pain now must be because of me. My decision please give me Om time to think. " said Ismalia bowed.

"alright. I'll give you three days from now. In the meantime, just tell Erika that I agree to the match and it's up to you to think about it. At least Erika's feeling a little happy."

"Be good, Om."

After Ismalia accepted the match. Mandala without saying anything. They returned to Erika's room when she saw Erika still not awake. They ended up waiting to sit on the sofa chatting with Grandma Rita and Grandpa Bramantio who were awake.

About an hour and a half later, Erika looked open her eyes. He turned to the side looking family members and his best friend was chatting among them. Knowing Erika had woken up from her sleep, Ismalia immediately approached Erika.

"Hey...How are you doing? Is anyone still sick?" ismalia asked worriedly while checking Erika's body.

"none. I'm better now. How did you get here? And I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this." said Erika softly.

"So after school I went to your house and Bik Inah said you were treated at the hospital. I called grandma, your RS address was taken care of. And earlier I was worried because you don't usually go to school if you don't come in. But yes, no papa." explained Ismalia.

"How can you relapse again? Don't you keep your diet?"

"Sorry.actually-" Erika's speech was restrained as Mandala approached her.

"Hi, princess daddy. How are you doing? Forgive me for ignoring you again." said Mandala, holding Erika's hand.

"Dad...Erika also apologizes for actually wrong Erika. Erika does not have to force Erika's desire. Sorry Erika father.." said Erika crying.

"Yes, I'm sorry too dear" said Mandala, hugging Erika.

Mandala hugged Erika, the princess who was crying. Mandala then broke into a hug wiping away Erika's tears.

"Oh yeah. Someone wants me to talk to you" said Mandala then turned to Ismalia.

Ismalia turned to Mandala and lowered her head.

"What yeah?" erika asked curiously while glancing at Ismalia and Mandala alternately.

"Father will approve your request regarding the matchmaking. But the rest of the final decision is on Is" said Mandala staring at Ismalia.

Erika heard Mandala's father's words in shock and turned to Ismalia who was down and looked at Mandala again.

"What! Is dad serious?"

"Yes, I'm serious. All decisions go back to Ismalia."

Erika turned to Ismalia hoping for an answer out of Ismalia's mouth.

"Is, how's your decision?" erika asked impatiently holding Ismalia's hand.

"If it were that I couldn't decide now. I need time to think and convince both my parents." replied Ismalia who was still down.

"Yes, I gave him three days from now. After that we'll know the decision." - timpal Mandala.

"Well, is it?"

Ismalia did not answer Erika again. At this time it is so difficult to think about it especially he was given only up to three days. A little doubt that is on Ismalia's mind now between her having to marry young and want to continue her school to make both parents happy. This time Ismalia was indeed a grave dilemma.

...🌹🌹🌹...

The next morning as before Ismalia felt lonely during school. Although Tania was there to accompany him but felt there was less. After school Ismalia plans to visit Erika who is likely to be allowed to return home tomorrow.

Ismalia passed through the hospital corridor entering Erika's room. Only Grandma Rita was accompanying Erika. Ismalia said hello and kissed Grandma Rita's hand.

"How's Erika doing, Grandma?" ismalia asked after kissing Rita's hand.

"Alhamdulillah, it has begun to improve even tomorrow he has been allowed to go home by a doctor."

"Alhamdulillah. Remember, Rik. After this, keep your diet do not let you get kayak gini again." said Ismalia warned Erika.

"Yes.iya. How's school?" erika asked as she bribed a piece of fruit into her mouth.

"good. It was just a matter of duty will soon be we just UN only stay 4 days more loh."

Erika Sighs "I don't feel yes, we'll soon graduate. So talk about the graduates how your decision about the matchmaking. When you stay tomorrow." said Erika.

"Yes, how did you decide, Is." asked Grandma Rita chimed in.

Rita's grandmother was told yesterday by Mandala before telling Erika. Rita and Bramantio only wish their children and grandchildren the best. So you could say agree Mandala's decision to be betrothed to Ismalia. Rita was very fond of Ismalia from the beginning because of her characteristics.

"sorry. Mother, Rik. I still haven't thought about it. I don't know why it's so hard for me."

"If it's been lived it won't be difficult, son. Our task is only to try and sincerely leave the rest to Allah SWT alone." said Rita holding Ismalia's hand.

"But for now, Is still can't give an answer now, Grandma. Sorry.." replied Ismalia bowed.

"Yes it's okay there's still one more day. If you agree to that decision we will help convince both of your parents. In Shaa Allah grandmother thought they would accept it." explained Grandma Rita.

"Yes, Is. You take it easy."

Ismalia returned with a smile after a little cloudy but not rain. Not long after the door of space was knocked from outside. Showing a Mandala who just got home from her office. With two plastic bags of food and drink and a basket of fresh fruit. Erika welcomes the hand of Mandala as well as Ismalia.

Grandma Rita and Erika smiling sumringah looked at each other to see Ismalia shaking hands with Mandala. Mandala and Ismalia become misbehaved when touched by Rita and Erika. Rita came home for a while to take a shower and change clothes. There were Mandalas and Ismalia.

Rita was brought home by the driver, Mr. Rahmad. Neutralize awkward Mandala sitting on a sofa that is not far from the bed while playing a laptop. Ismalia remained sitting on the chair near Erika while opening the food bag. Ismalia took food and fed Erika very painstakingly.

Such a sight made Mandala stare at the two of them for a while. Then back to play his laptop check the email that was just sent by the secretary Ridwan. Long enough Erika's food ran out without rest. Ismalia brought bottles of drinking water and medicine to Erika.

At around six in the afternoon, Rita had arrived at the hospital directly heading to the room while carrying a bag of food. Ismalia fell asleep on the edge of Erika's bed, and Erika fell asleep. Mandala was playing with her laptop with glasses on her nose. Looks so handsome and authoritative.

Rita awakens Ismalia to pray before dinner. Ismalia moved from her chair to the bathroom to fetch water. When Rita finished, she invited Ismalia and Mandala to dinner together. Rita feeds Erika with the food brought too.

Some time after dinner they were done. Ismalia permission to go home to everything. Intending to kiss Rita's hand, Rita intercepts Ismalia who is already approaching the door. He requested that Mandala take Ismalia because it was night and very dangerous to go home alone.

"Sir, Ismalia said she wanted to go home first because it was night for sure Mom and Dad were worried." said Ismalia.

"Yes, be careful."

"Eh, wait for Is." intercept Rita.

"Man, you're going home too. Just take Is to the house. Danger if a girl comes home alone let alone these nights."

Without saying Mandala immediately packed the items including laptops and so on. The mandala came out followed by Ismalia from behind.

"Then Is went home first, Grandma, Rik. Assalamualaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam." answered Rita and Erika simultaneously.

Ismalia immediately followed Mandala into the car. There was no conversation between the two of them. A few minutes later Mandala's car arrived in front of an alley of Ismalia's residence. He said thank you and Mandala.

"Ma-thank you Om for the ride" said Ismalia nervously with a downcast face.

"Hmmm.." answered Mandala just cleared her throat.

Deheman's answer from Mandala. Ismalia immediately came out watching Mandala's car move away not visible anymore. Then he entered an alley that can only be entered by motor vehicles. The mandala in the car appears to be driving on the right. His right hand as a support on the glass door of the car while kneading his temple. I don't know what he's thinking.
