Since then Anika has officially become Yaslan's lover.
At first she hesitates, but Yaslan's determination in fighting for her makes Anika want to try to be in love with the man.
The real woman at the time was Yaslan's older sister. She knew the nature of her older sister that was the badass would be a pressure for Anika, therefore she tried not to bring them together.
The new couple is now chatting in a cafe, enjoying their day off.
"Before I wanted to ask," said Yaslan slowly actually hesitated with this intention. "Is Kairi your ex's name?"
Anika is surprised Yaslan finds out about Kairi. "Where did you know...?"
"You said it yourself."
At that time, Anika was half conscious and did not remember much of what had happened to her. He only remembered his intention to catch the fireflies in order to reach Kairi.
Anika's silence was responded by Yaslan with an agreed answer.
"I don't care who you're dating. I just wish you could open up so I could help with your trauma."
Anika once told Yaslan about her trauma to the opposite sex, but she misunderstood that thinking that the cause of her trauma was because of Kairi.
"Okay, sis.." he replied slowly actually did not want to be heard.
Yaslan smiled trying to comfort him. "Not today, slow down the story, when you feel ready."
Hearing that Anika felt relieved.
They also live quiet days without much burden other than busy work each. Anika's nightmares gradually began to diminish.
"The bad experiences you once had, I'll replace them with beautiful new memories."
Slowly Anika began to feel the comfort she got from Yaslan. He also allowed Yaslan to hold his hand.
"Your life is yours. Don't let the dark past drop your future."
The words he spoke always calmed his heart. Almost every day Yaslan writes a memo with words of pearl that he leaves on the table of the restaurant where Anika works. And every time he met, he would end their meeting with words to encourage his life.
Yaslan helps Anika to get rid of her trauma in her own way.
If Kairi can eliminate his trauma by opening up and strengthening each other, Yaslan does it with positive actions and words that he continues to instill into Anika's mind.
Anika began to hope a little, Is she also able to erase this trauma of mine? Erasing my feelings for Kairi?
Three months have passed and Yaslan's efforts have borne fruit. Anika feels comfortable with him, therefore wants to continue their relationship.
"Thank you Anika!" So happy, Yaslan unconsciously hugged the poor girl.
At first Anika was still glued.
"Ma.. sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!" Yaslan was about to let go of her embrace, but Anika slowly returned her embrace.
They also first embraced each other.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"What does this mean, brother?" tanya Anika read a letter she got from Yaslan.
They were enjoying the afternoon at the cafe they used to go to. Yaslan always avoided meeting his girlfriend alone in a closed room, so he always chose a crowded place.
"That's a letter of recommendation from an acquaintance of my lecturer. She's seen the essay you wrote, and she says she wants to give you a full scholarship to a nursing school."
Anika initially did not believe what she read, and now she does not believe what she heard.
"Thank you very much, brother!" Anika hugged Yaslan. Thanks to her, Anika can continue her aspirations to become a mental hospital nurse.
"That's all thanks to your own efforts, Anika. I'm just using the connection."
"My internship is also about to end. I plan to continue my studies to become an internal medicine specialist. My father was also a doctor. But he died when I was in high school."
Already a few months dating, Anika just learned this from Yaslan. He began to hold his hand to share his sympathy.
"It's no problem. He died of intestinal inflammation. Since then I have been determined to take up the same profession as him. I feel like when I help someone else, it's like I'm helping my dad."
Anika was amazed by his ideals. Yaslan was truly a kind-hearted person.
"Because it takes a long time, actually I also had time to think about giving up and becoming a general practitioner only. But looking at you, Anika, who fought from the bottom, when she had dropped out of college, and did not rely on parents, even had severe trauma, I wanted to fight again."
He kissed the soft hand of Anika who was holding her hand. "Your ideas really inspire me" he continued.
This made Anika give off a sad aura.
"I just feel like taking care of those with mental disorders, just wanting to humanize those who are considered crazy by others" she said with a meaningful smile.
Anika feels selfish. He did this actually just for himself. He felt that by taking care of people with mental disorders, he was taking care of Kairi, the person who had helped himself to eliminate his trauma.
"That's just incredible!" This time Yaslan suddenly knelt down before him, and took out a red box that after opening it contained a ring.
"Actually I've been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time, Anika Ayu, will you marry me who has nothing?"
Anika really did not expect to be proposed by her boyfriend, today, in this place. The doubts in his heart were still there, but his belief in being able to live quietly with this man had already been expressed.
"Yes, brother, I want to..."
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
After the unexpected proposal, Yaslan invites him to meet his family who live in the city near them first college.
Her older sister, whom Anika had seen at Yaslan's rented house, lived with their mother. He is married and has a five-year-old son and a three-year-old daughter.
Yaslan still has a younger brother who is still in college. He also lives with his mother.
A crowded house with a large number of members, looks very lively. Their joy was reflected when they had dinner together. Yaslan's family is a harmonious family that loves each other.
Anika who was originally looking forward to meeting her family, ...
... I started to feel lonely.
He felt unworthy to be among them.
"Well, it's good to be able to get a daughter-in-law as beautiful and as good as Anika. I could die peacefully" Yaslan's mother joked.
"Mom said what the hell! Don't joke like that! Who's gonna help me take care of Alex and Jessy?!" said Yaslan's brother.
"I told you, don't hire too many mothers! I'll be tired later." Yaslan was worried about his mother's condition.
"Relax, I feel 50 years younger caring for my favorite grandchildren" he continued joking.
A truly harmonious family, sad Anika inner, the family that I had always wanted.
"Say your family doesn't live far from here?" Yaslan's mother began to ask Anika. "You should see Lan's parents immediately, if you're serious about marrying her."
Anika started to get angry hearing that.
For years he had not met his parents. He doesn't want to meet them.
"Yes ma'am, I've planned that already" Yaslan replied casually.
Anika just fell silent. Is he able to meet people who have caused major internal injuries and trauma to him?
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
