The Last Love of My Life
Rifki

1 month later...

Nadhira was standing on a wall that had a calendar there, he also crossed it on the day he had passed. Nadhira smiled to see a date he had circled would arrive, the day he would be evacuated dead.

"Only a day's stay I live, even until this moment Rifki has not been aware of his coma."

Suddenly Nadhira heard footsteps from someone, Nadhira then turned towards the person who came to his prison cell. A prison doorkeeper came, and Nadhira smiled at him.

"There is someone who wants to meet you" he told Nadhira.

"Who?" Ask Nadhira.

"Doctor Susi."

Nadhira nodded his head, while the policeman rushed to open the door. Nadhira came out of there followed by the guards so that he could not escape, and Nadhira immediately sat in front of Susi when he reached his place.

"How's Rifki doing?" That question was always said by Nadhira the first time when he met Susi.

"It still can't be predicted, Dhira. I don't know when he's gonna get out of his coma, even if he's not trying to make it at all."

Nadhira let out a heavy sigh, "This is the last day for me to visit, tomorrow I will be secured the day before being executed. It seems like fate is not on my side,"

Susi was looking at her tears when she heard Nadhira's words, she couldn't even afford to lose her best friend. Right, this is the last day for him to be able to meet with Nadhira, after which the two will not be able to meet again.

Looking at the crying Susi, Nadhira immediately moved her hand to wipe her tears. Nadhira did not want to see anyone sad for today, let alone his dear friend.

"Don't cry, I don't want to see you sad for today."

"How can I be happy to see you like this, Dhira?"

"For my sake, Sus. Do you want me to die with the regret of making you cry? I'm not papa. Mostly the pain will only be a moment, after that it is no longer felt."

"It's not your fault, Dhira. But why do you have to endure everything?"

"Sus, I deserve it because many lives have been lost because of me. Besides my own father chose this punishment for me, it means that he does not want to see me in this world anymore, right? I don't want to refuse Papa's wish, even I have accepted everything sincerely."

"Om Rendi should know that you're alive, Dhira. He should also know that you are not Ana but Nadhira, he will definitely overturn this punishment,"

"no need. Don't tell Papa that I'm alive, I don't want Papa to recognize me or know my identity, Sus. I don't know if I have to accept everything,"

"You can accept everything, but I can't do that, Dhira. It all feels heavy to me, me..." Susi was unable to continue her words, it felt like the sentence was blocked just like that in her throat without being able to be removed by her.

A sense of tightness rippled down his throat to the point of not being able to let out a word, a loss he never imagined would happen. Nadhira clasped Susi's hand tightly to strengthen the woman in front of him, even though he himself was destroyed at this time, but pretended to be strong.

"I know how you feel, Sus. In fact I can't change my own destiny, I just want to be happy but my desire looks very heavy." Nadhira wanted to shed her tears, but she kept trying to be strong.

"Dhira," Susi said.

"You can go home, I want a good rest today. Say my apologies to Rifki when she has regained consciousness from her coma, and apologize to Nara because I can no longer accompany her. I leave Nara to you, take good care of her, Sus. Don't let him get revenge on his father. I apologize to you for all my misdeeds and mischief over the years, I apologize for the last time. After this, we'll part ways and never see each other again" With a heavy heart, Nadhira said.

"I can't, hikss.. hiks..." Susi's cry broke out instantly.

Nadhira also rose from his seat, he also pulled Susi's body into his embrace. He could at least see his loved ones crying, even for a moment.

The two also hugged each other with tears, sobs Susi was able to make Nadhira's defense weak and join in crying. Pain, that's how he feels right now, even both of them are equally afraid of loss.

"When I got hurt, you told me once, Dhira. That you'd be my first protector back then, but I couldn't protect you at all."

"I'm sorry, Sus. This is the path I have chosen, and I have to accept all the consequences. You have to be strong, take it all in, and put it on fire to accept everything. I will always live in your heart,"

"Sorry..."

Nadhira did not want to look fragile in front of Susi, she also slowly wiped her tears. He must take it all hard, and he tries to convince Susi that everything will be fine. Something lost will be able to be replaced, but not with his memories.

"Time is up" said one of the prison cell guards.

"Can you give me one more moment?" Ask Susi.

"Sus, you have to be strong. Take good care of yourself, his health is maintained, his worship is added, his smile does not fade, and try to be a better person than today and yesterday. I'm saying goodbye, huh? Sorry and thanks for everything."

"Dhira's..."

"Assynoltom..." He said and immediately rushed away from the place.

"Dhira!! Hix... Hix... Hicks..." Susi's crying hysterical.

When Nadhira turned his back on Susi, his chest hurt to hear Susi's screams. There was a soft stuffing coming out of her lips, Nadhira was holding her chest that felt pain and tight, as if the oxygen in that place felt very thin for her.

"I'm sorry. I am the most despicable person in the world, the one who expects peace but war. Rifki, I'm fragile at the moment, I'm sorry for failing to be a good wife and mother. I'm sorry, though my apologies don't bring anything back, but I'm really sorry."

*****

Tit... Tit... Tit... Tit...

The sound from the heart rate monitor screen next to Rifki lay helpless, it could be seen that his heart rate was getting weaker at this time. Rifki had been asleep for a long time there, he was able to survive with a medical device attached to his body.

Seen next to him is the figure of the Princess who always accompanied him, and never left him even if only for a moment. The middle daughter rubbed a wet towel on her face Rifki to clean it, and it looks like Rifki's body is so well maintained.

"When are you up, son? Mama is already very upset with your voice," said the Princess with tears.

There was absolutely no response from Rifki, as usual that even the remark was ignored by her. Rifki still faithfully closed both eyes tightly, even no desire to be healed at all.

"No need, Ay. Why won't your brother wake up too? Mama's afraid of losing it."

"So I'm definitely cured, Ma. He had to recover because he had promised Ayu, he said he wanted to give Ayu something that Ayu liked."

The princess also looked at Rifki's peaceful face, even when she was in a keritic condition, her face still radiated warmth. The bruises on his face already look dry, even some have been peeling for a long time.

"It's all because of Ana, she who has harmed my son" said the Princess, who did not understand the true events.

There has been a news about it. In the news, Ana wants to harm Rifki but is helped by Amanda, so Amanda stretches her life on the spot. Rifki's family also suspected that Ana was a man from their enemy to harm Rifki, but he had only launched his action some time.

All the evidence points to him, even everything is like hating Nadhira without knowing the truth. They strongly supported the punishment Nadhira received, and believed that everything happened because of his actions.

"This is the last day for her, Ma. He'll be evacuated soon, just hours."

"Good, the sooner the better."

Suddenly his index finger moved, Rifki signaled to his family that he would soon be awakened from his coma. The princess who saw the slow movement of Rifki was immediately grasping her hand tightly, she was so happy to see the reaction given by Rifki at this time.

"Ma, Big Brother responded," Ayu said with two twinkling eyes looking at him.

"Oh, call the doctor now!" Princess's Order.

"Good Ma!"

Ayu immediately rushed away from the room, she was in a hurry to call the doctor because she was happy when getting a response from Rifki. Not long after, they immediately came and immediately checked the state of Rifki, and they were happy that the result was the progress experienced by Rifki.

"Where's Rifki's condition, Doc?" Ask Princess.

"The patient made it through his coma, in a moment he might come to his senses" said the Doctor.

"Thank God, God."

It was seen Rifki was frowning because of the light that like piercing into his eyes, which originally looked so very dark now turned into light. Too many medical devices attached to his body, so his body is only wrapped in a blanket.

Rifki felt his hands very sore, the hand where the infusion hose is placed. It has been a long time the needle was attached there, until it felt very painful and cold because of the liquid that entered his body.

"So, the patient is conscious" said one of the nurses who entered the room.

A stethoscope held by the doctor was attached to Rifki's chest to examine it, and there was progress in his body. Rifki tried to open both of her eyes, but both of her eyes could not stand the stinging light.

When he managed to open both of his eyes though not wide, his gaze looked very blurry. Rifki could not see clearly around him, which he knew that he was in an all-white room with full of medical devices inside.

"Rifki, you finally came to your senses too, son." The happy voice released by the Princess makes Rifki know that the Princess is next to him at this time.

"Mama" said Rifki, not even heard by anyone.

"For the time being, let the patient rest first. He had just regained consciousness, so his condition was still weak" the Doctor said.

"Okay Doc" replied the Princess.

The doctor came out of the room with several nurses. Rifki's condition is still weak, even to move it feels very difficult for him. Rifki moved her nose several times because she felt uncomfortable with the oxygen hose that was still attached there, and she was still adjusting to the light in the room.

"Ma," Call Rifki slowly.

"What's up, Rif? You need anything? Tell Mama" said the Princess as she approached her son.

"Well," Rifki said.

The princess also took a glass and put a straw in the glass, she helped Rifki to drink it. After being unconscious for quite a while, it felt like his throat was very dry and felt very thirsty.

Only a few gulps came in, after which Rifki told the Princess to put it back. Rifki looked around like she was looking for someone, but she did not find what she was looking for at the moment.

"Ma, where's Dhira? Why isn't he here? Rifki heard her voice calling Rifki's name, where is she?" Rifki asked as her two eyes went through the entire room.

"Rifki, Dhira is gone, son. Are you still unable to accept his departure? He died years ago. You must have only dreamed of meeting him,"

"No way, Ma. Dhira's alive, he's not dead, and he's back to Rifki. Where is he, Ma? Where's she?"

"Rifki, wake up son. Mama knows that you can't tell her that she's gone yet, but you have to know that she's never coming back."

"Ma, I know more about him than Mama. Dhira is alive all along, he comes to see Rifki with his new identity. Nadhira disguises himself as Ana, to protect Rifki and Rifki's son."

Sontak Putri and Ayu were very surprised to hear the explanation from Rifki, and seeing it immediately made Rifki feel confused by the reaction of the two. Both of them seemed to be very surprised, and the shock was different from what people were surprised at in general.

"Where is he?" Repeat Rifki for not getting an answer from both. "Ma, I miss him so much, please call him here. Rifki wants to see him,"

Suddenly the Princess' tears just dripped down, seeing it made Rifki try to get up and sit down from her position. Rifki grabbed the Princess' hand with both hands, Why did the two suddenly become silent? And it made Rifki feel uneasy.

"Is it true that Ana is Nadhira?" Ask Princess.

"Why should Rifki lie to Mama? He told everything to Rifki. Where is he, Ma? Say."

"In less than 1 hour, he'll be evacuated dead, brother." Ayu.

"WHAT!!! Why can you, Ay?" Rifki was even more shocked when she heard it.

"Sister Dhira is accused of killing Manda's brother, Brother. Everyone said that he did it, and also caused Big Brother to get hurt like this." Sobs of crying Ayu was heard, tears were broken when she said that.

"He's not the culprit!"
