Next day

Mario left for the office early, he was impatient to see Ane.

Mario wants to know if Ane managed to persuade Dinda or not.

"Yud, tell Ane to face me." ask Mario to Yudha.

"Okay Sir!"

Yudha immediately carried out the order, he went straight to the 3rd division room to meet Ane.

When Yudha was about to head there, her steps suddenly stopped. From the other direction, Ane had just arrived at the office, and Yudha immediately approached.

"Miss Ane!" greet Yudha.

Ane smiled fluffyly, "hi sir Yudha. saucy today, hehe.." joked Ane suddenly, chuckling.

Of course it makes the look of Yudha's face blushing.

"Hemm. Don't tease Miss! I'm not interested." ketus Yudha, trying to hide his feelings that feel happy when praised.

"huuh really sucks." Ane muttered inwardly.

"Master Mario calls you" said Yudha briefly, as he walked ahead of Ane.

With a look of annoyance Ane set behind Yudha.

A few minutes later, Yudha and Ane arrive in Mario's room.

Mario immediately greeted Ane with the question, "how? that work?" ask Mario with two words.

"emmm. We should talk alone sir. because this is very private." replied Ane who did not want if Yudha found out.

Yudha turned her gaze towards Ane, then immediately she stepped out of Mario's room.

"wuuu. pretentious cool." muttered Ane inwardly as she returned Yudha's gaze.

"So how?" asked Mario who was impatient to find out, while directing Ane to sit on the sofa.

Ane immediately sat his ass there, more precisely sitting next to Mario.

"So how? did he forgive me?!" ask Mario again.

"It seems like no sir, he is very disappointed with you" replied Ane.

Mario's face instantly changed, like losing the spirit of life.

"Sir, there are more important things you should know about Dinda" Ane said.

Mario stared at the look on Ane's face, "what?" mario asked very briefly.

Ane took a deep breath, then exhaled. "father should hear this." Ane replied as she pulled her phone out of the bag.

Mario watched with a serious look.

Ane began to slide the screen of her phone to look for voice recordings owned by Dinda and herself.

After he was found, the recording began to be heard.

🔊 "My economic state is deteriorating ne"! my savings are running low for my daily expenses.

I have no income, I have tried to send a cover letter to another company, but there has been no call for me.

I was sad to not be able to pay for my mother's treatment ne'. until finally mom dropped.

Haaahhh, my mind is getting messed up ne'! I need a fee for my mom, and that's not a bit.

I sell my phone, motorbike, but that's not enough. Until finally..."

"Until the end why Din?! what happened to you?!"

"Until the end. the cave was forced to sell itself. cave selling sanctity cave ne'..!! hiks. hiks... hiks.."

"Hiks. hiks.. hiks.. sorry I'm Din..!! sorry l..!! I'm not a good temen..!! I'm not there when you need to."

"Hiks. hyks... hyks.."

"Now you know, right?! why can't I take him again..?! I'm not holy ne'..!! i'm dirty..!!"

The recording was stopped by Ane.

As Mario heard the sound of the tape, his tears kept flowing.

Feeling tight in his chest, his eyes closed for a moment and his body weakened when he heard the lover selling his chastity to finance his mother's treatment.

Really Mario is speechless, very sick and even very sick in his heart.

"Oh my God.. What did I do to her?!" she regrets her mistake towards the woman she loved so much.

Mario continued to cry until his body shook, many times he hit his chest with a fist, he grabbed his hair, he really regretted what had happened.

While Ane, she was silent as she shed her tears.After that, Ane left Mario alone in her room.

So what happened to Mario?

He still cried until as he pleased, "aaaaaaaaaaaaakh" he roared until his voice echoed.

He continued to lash out at his chest, many times he rubbed his face violently.

His mind is not directional, he is very frustrated.

Then Mario leaned his body and head on the sofa, he closed his eyes again.

He took a deep breath, then exhaled back. "I'll marry you, I'll take responsibility for what happened to you." she said.

Then he opened his eyes again and he slowly moved from his seat to walk up to his desk.

He grabbed his cellphone on the table, then he shifted the phone screen to find his mother's phone number listed on the mobile screen.

After finding Mama's phone number, she immediately shifted the green button.

Tut. tut's.. (Connect)

"Hallo! Assalamu'alaikum.." Greet Mama gently.

"Hallo Ma..!! Wa'alaikumsalam." replied Mario,lirih.

"You why Yo?! you cry..?!"

"I_I want to ask permission from Mama and Papa." replied Mario in tears.

"Where are you going?!"

"I'm not going anywhere Ma..! I want permission to marry Dinda."

"Thea?! Dinda who..?"

"Dinda's my girlfriend's Ma.."

"Yes! Mama Permitin, but when do you want to marry her? why suddenly?"

"I want to marry him immediately. We'll go back to Ma's house. I'll see him first."

"Yes Yo..! Mom wait at home."

"I hung up on Ma, Assalamu'alaikum"

Tut tut tut (broken connection)

After finishing, Mario immediately hung up the phone and put his phone in his pants pocket, then he came out of his room while wiping his tears.

Mario again met Yudha outside the room, and immediately invited Yudha to leave.

Before that he decides to meet Ane first, to inquire about Dinda's whereabouts.

Not long before Mario and Yudha arrived in the 3rd division room, Mario approached Ane.

"Sir Mario.. What's the matter sir?! ask Ane who knows Mario's arrival to his room.

" Where is Adinda? is he still at his house?" ask Mario.

"Gga sir, Dinda's in the hospital. Her mother is still in the ICU room." answered Ane.

"Okay thanks" said Mario.

"Together sir." said Ane.

Mario and Yudha immediately continued their steps. They drove to the hospital where Dinda's mother was being treated.

*****

While in the hospital, there is Dinda who is asking permission to see her mother even if only a few minutes.

"Dok, can I find mom?! please let me Doc! just a moment Doctor.I want to see my mother." said Dinda, begging.

The doctor smiled at Dinda.

"Yes please Miss, but don't take too long" replied the Doctor.

Of course it makes Dinda happy.

"Thank you Doc." replied Dinda, smiling.

"Together Miss!" the doctor smiled at Dinda.

Not delaying again, Dinda immediately stepped into the ICU room, she approached her mother who was lying down with a breathing apparatus and several other medical devices.

His heart was a little relieved after days of only being able to see from the glass, now it was able to see the mother clearly even being able to touch her.

Dinda's tears welled up, but she had to be able to hold back from dripping.

"Hud! Dinda here, Dinda kangen sama ibuk." he said as he positioned his body bent, so that his face could be closer to the face of the mother.

Dinda kissed her mother's cheeks so gently that she opened her eyes.

Dinda smiled happily seeing the mother's eyeballs pointing at him.

"She!" said mother slowly.

"Yes buk. mother don't talk much first huh.. Dinda is here anyway, Dinda is still there keep ibuk.." said Dinda softly.

"Mrr..! I can't take it anymore. I want to see you get married before I leave.." said mom.

"Mom why are you talking about it..?! mother will not go. Mother must be strong, Dinda sure mother will be cured." said Dinda cheered.

Mother's tears flowed to hear Dinda's words.

"Mom wants to see you get married." - Mother again.

"Yes, later if you're cured." replied Dinda.

While from the other direction, there was Mario and Yudha who had just arrived at the hospital.

Mario immediately approached the ICU room, while Yudha waited outside.

Before entering Mario looking from the glass room ICU, seen Dinda who was talking with her mother there.

Then immediately Mario went straight to Dinda and her mother.

How surprised Dinda when she saw the figure of Mario who had just entered, but she tried to hold back her emotions, not wanting to make a scene in front of her mother.

Mario approached Dinda and Mom casually, smiling at Dinda.

After his position was so close, Mario immediately grabbed Dinda's hand and linked Dinda's fingers with his finger.

Dinda was flabbergasted at Mario's behavior towards her.

While the mother looked to set her eyes on Mario.

"Mom! I asked my mother's permission to marry Adinda, my mother's daughter." said Mario slowly but soundly in the ears of mother and Dinda.

Suddenly it made Dinda's eyeballs round, not believing in what she had just heard.

While the mother smiled happily while nodding her head.

"I promise you, I will always take care and love Adinda until my last breath." said Mario again, making mother shed her tears again.

Meanwhile, Dinda, the tears she had held, finally dripped.

His heart was very strong, but he was unable to say anything.

"Thank you son. I bless you" said the mother slowly, but heard in the ears of Mario and Dinda.

Mario's smile expands, there is a sense of happiness that is not able to be said.

"Sama-sama ma'am..thank you for giving our mother's blessing" said Mario, and was responded by the mother with a nod of the head.

I feel so happy to hear Mario's every word.

"Son! before I leave, I'd love to see you married." said mom.

"Yes mom! I will marry Adinda as soon as possible." replied Mario with certainty.

Dinda could only be silent while staring at the look on Mario's face.

"Then I ask permission once again with my mother, I want to bring Dinda to my parents" said Mario again.

"Yes, please." said mother slowly.

"Thank you mom" said Mario as he gently kissed the mother's head, and greeted the mother with a nod of the head.

After that, Mario went out of the ICU room while holding Dinda's hand.

After they were outside, Dinda immediately let out her emotions that had been held back.

But when he wanted to talk, Mario first stopped him with a short kiss.

Cup, Mario kissed Dinda's lips gently.

Of course it made Dinda's body freeze, as if numb.

"Hold your emotions first, we will fight later, after at home" said Mario as he slowly pulled Dinda's hand and took her away from the hospital area.

What about Yudha?

Yudha who was watching also smiled widely while holding back her laughter.

Finally Mario, Dinda and Yudha were in one car, about to go to Mario's residence.
