I am grateful that God has given me this precious opportunity. I am grateful that God has sent good people to save me at the right time. If I may, I wish to repay their kindness someday, then may Allah make it easier for me to repay their kindness.

(Yasmin Al - Thofunnisa)

--

It has been two days Yasmin hospitalized, and for two days he was more silent, but during sleep he would often delirious and cry in his sleep.

"Would we contact both parents in Makassar?" asked Ummi Ulfa while gently rubbing the hands of Yasmin who was asleep.

"Maybe we should contact him Ummi, at this time Yasmin really need the figure of his mother beside him" said Yusuf after changing the infusion fluid Yasmin.

Currently there are only Ummi Ulfa and Yusuf who inhabit Yasmin. After Joseph's examination schedule ended, he will go directly to Yasmin's room to monitor his progress.

While Anna went to college and went straight back to the hospital when her college hours were over. He only occasionally came home just to shower and change clothes.

Since the incident, Anna's motorbike had not been taken at the hotel where she parked it last, so to go back and forth campus and hospital he would use a taxi or ojek.

However, this time, when Anna was just out of campus and was about to wait for a taxi, Ryan suddenly came and offered to take Anna to the hospital.

"Who's sick, Ann?" ryan asked while driving the car.

"Yasmin, my best friend and my contract partner" replied Anna.

"Well, it turns out I have a rival now well, where my rival girl again" Ryan joked.

Anna only smiled faintly in response to Ryan's joke.

Now Ryan's car arrives in the parking lot, and it turns out Wildan's car has also just arrived and parked it right next to Ryan's car.

"Anna? who are you coming to?" wildan asked as he watched Anna get out of the car.

"Oh yeah, I came with my friend Ryan" Anna replied pointing to Ryan who had just got out of the car.

"Oh" Wildan said briefly then walked towards Anna.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce you guys, Ryan it's Wil." said Anna, cut off as Wildan shook Ryan's hand while introducing himself.

"Wildan, Anna's brothers" said Wildan, causing Anna to glare at him for a moment.

"Ryan, Anna's best friend from childhood until now" Ryan said, not wanting to lose, then released their handshake.

"Thank God that he is still a friend until now" Wildan said making Ryan frown to open his mouth, but Anna who had felt the unpleasant air immediately spoke up.

"Let's go in, it's hot to know where I'm hungry again" Anna said.

"What do you want to eat, let me bring you" said Wildan and Ryan at the same time, immediately Wildan threw his sharp gaze at Ryan, and vice versa.

"No need, I brought my own food, let's hurry in, heat up" Anna said and walked first leaving two humans who seemed to start emitting an aura of competition.

Walking down the hallway of the hospital, Wildan and Ryan saw the road to Anna's right left like a bodyguard. Until we got to Yasmin's room.

"You guys wait here, I want to make sure Yasmin wears her hijab" Anna said, opening the door

"Assalamu 'alaikum" said Anna, he gave a code to Ryan and Wildan to follow him when he saw Yasmin wearing a hijab.

"Wa'alaikum salam" Ummi Ulfa and Yusuf answered at the same time, while Yasmin was still sleeping.

Yusuf and Umm Ulfa furrowed their eyebrows when they saw Ryan coming in with Wildan. Understanding Ummi Ulfa's gaze, Anna explained.

"Oh yes Ummi, this is Ryan Anna's friend" said Anna showing Ryan with her hands.

"Oh yes son" said Ummi Ulfa smiling kindly, "you three come well?" ask Ummi later.

"No Ummi" Ryan and Wildan answered quickly simultaneously, making Ummi raise his eyebrows.

"Ekhm, I was with Ryan coming with Ummi, but right in the parking lot we met with Wildan" explained Anna made Yusuf and Umm Ulfa nod together.

"How is Yasmin doing, brother?" ask Anna to Joseph.

"It's still like that Ann, rarely speaks, and likes to ngigau" replied Joseph lethargic. "Oh yeah Ann, you have Yasmin's parents' number? I wanted to tell him about Yasmin, however they should know" he continued.

"Good sister" while sitting on the sofa, Anna tried to find the hape that she had stored in her bag.

"Please sit down son" Ummi told Ryan.

"Yes aunty, replied Ryan to sit next to Anna, but Wildan sat next to Anna despite being a little far apart, until finally Ryan was forced to find another seat next to Wildan.

Ummi smiled at Wildan's behavior as if he was guarding his property so that people do not take it.

While they were chatting, Yusuf came out of Yasmin's room to call her mother. Yasmin's mother was shocked to hear that and so was her father. The plan, the mother who will go directly to Jakarta this afternoon as well, while the father will live with the twins.

Joseph planned to return to his room for a while to pick up something, but in the middle of the street he overheard the voices of two women arguing behind the emergency stairs. Yusuf did not want to take a headache so he just walked until his steps suddenly stopped when he heard them say Yasmin's name.

Joseph was about to walk closer to the door to the emergency stairs, but he saw that the door would open so that Joseph immediately hid behind the door.

He saw a nun coming out of it, and soon he saw a girl not so foreign to him coming out of the door with an annoyed face.

"Who are they? why did you mention Yasmin? ah come on, maybe they're talking about the other Yasmin" the monologue then goes on.
