Grandfather brought a glass of herbal concoction that Rival had to drink in addition to a cure for his paralysis. Grandpa also massaged Rival's legs morning and evening to get well soon.
"Drink until it runs out and never vomit because grandfather will hit you" threatened grandfather.
"What is the function of this medicine cake?" rival was confused.
"That's so that your 'dongkrak' comes back mighty and can have offspring again. The calamity that befell you yesterday 'weaken' you to have another child" Rival was shocked to hear Grandfather's explanation. His mental was completely destroyed.
How can I face you in my condition like this deck. I won't be able to support you properly. It will never make you happy.
Rival rubbed his face violently. Rival's disappointment saw itself clearly drawn from his face.
"All can still be treated" comforted grandfather.
"How long is the cake?" rival's voice was stifled by his feelings.
"Half year. Maybe more"
Stunned Rival closed his eyes. Ask yourself if he will be able to get through all this.
"You should be able to. Your wife's son is waiting. You want to make them happy, right?"
Rival nodded still setting his heart.
"Let's drink. The sooner we'll treat it the better"
"That's an earth peg, snake wood, sea roots and many more materials from the forest" explained grandfather. Rival lifted the potion and drank it.
Just reaching the tip of his lips, a very bitter taste filled his mouth. Rival's throat seemed to stop and his stomach was stirred.
hhkk.
Grandfather had already glared at Rival sharply.
"What kind of army are you. The drink just didn't dare to gulp it. You should be more afraid of your wife turning away because your 'tongkrak' is not able to make your wife satisfied" fear immediately makes her anxious. Obviously he was very worried that Yara would seek another satisfaction because she was unable to give Yara inner satisfaction.
Without a doubt Rival finished the potion without a remnant. Even though the bitter taste is so excruciating.
It's all for you, baby. I will do everything for your happiness. If we meet later, I won't ask you to give me another child. But if God still trusts me, I will gladly accept it.

The moon had changed, Rival was already able to move his legs slowly. Rival continued to train his physical abilities so that he could quickly walk back.
--------
Nightfall. Feeling the silence of the star-studded sky, the wind blew swaying the grandfather's hut. Rival fumbled his chest remembering Yara. He closed his eyes imagining the face of his beloved wife flashed in his mind.
You are beautiful, darling. Mas Miss you. Missed attention.
The feeling of being a grown man that night suddenly loomed great. The feeling of bland, sad and pain alone he felt. Distribution that is not channeled just detaches without being able to hold.
Rival opened his eyes. Then his smile expands with a haru taste.
"Alhamdulillah, finally after months I can feel 'he' is back to perfection" he murmured with a grateful face.
***
This morning Rival tried to stand up again. His spirit appeared because his legs could be upright. Rival also learned to step foot and he was able to do it.
Two months of healing. Rival can walk well even though his legs are not yet one hundred percent strong.
"Sir.Is there anything I can do? I want to go home to my family soon" asked Rival one afternoon.
"While only able to become rubber and oil palm farmers and hoe the fields to be planted" replied grandfather.
***
Early in the morning Rival had already set out to hoe the fields and continue with harvesting the rubber sap. Rival broad daylight transports to trucks all the crops of palm oil. Hot rain tired and tired did not feel just for the sake of being able to go home to see family at home.
Arriving on the day Rival was already able to collect enough money. Rival farewell to grandparents and grandparents. Rival gave half the money he got but his grandfather and grandmother refused.
"Bring up. We don't need any money, son. Just taking care of you, we're so happy. If you can come back here again. Look at us again" said grandfather.
Grandpa handed me the bag containing Rival's last uniform and the gun that was still there. Rival's glassy eyes accepted it.
"Thank you for all your grandparents' help. Maybe I'd be dead if grandpa and grandma hadn't helped me"
Unbeknownst to grandparents, Rival slipped the money he got from work even though while working there Rival always gave grandparents enough money.
***
With the hair on the top of the small tie that began to be long, do not forget to wear a wedding ring on his ring finger and kiss the ring on his hand.
I'm home, baby.
Rival hitchhikes a palm oil truck to the city. Rival is looking for a vehicle that can take him home. He covered his face with a mask and hat that was entirely black, depicting the darkness and rigors of the life he was going through.
A day on the Rival's way. All the obstacles he went through patiently including dealing with robbers on the streets even hungry and thirsty on the way he was able to withstand.
***
Finally the ship that was on board Rival leaned on the harbor. A sense of haru enveloped Rival's feeling of setting foot on the ground where he and Yara first met.
His feet stepped from the harbor to the Battalion where he devoted himself to the nation and the country.
The paint color of the Battalion's walls that he passed through, had not changed long ago. Rival stopped walking until he got in front of the knight. A moment later, he breathed a sigh of relief. The longing for his wife is also the fruit of his heart is also increasingly disturbing the soul.
"Hands up" a member brandished a weapon.
Ok. it's time to get acquainted again
Rival opened his mask and hat.
"Readily wrong.. Captain Rivaldi"
flashback off
David was silent to the struggle of Rival. Yara was already crying as she couldn't imagine how much trouble Rival felt.
"Can you not argue anymore!" pinta Yara's. Yara moved from her sleep but she felt a slight pain from the impact earlier.
Rival and David both panic and worry about Yara's condition. Yara was not good at seeing this situation.
"I can do it myself!!!!!" pissed Yara. Yara started to get nauseous again. Yara walked out of the room and vomited again. Both men were confused and did not know what to do. They're equally bad.
Rival's phone rings. There was a call from the office to take care of Diklat belanegara's child. Rival throws his cell phone in annoyance on the bed. Then take that phone again.
"Ang keep Yara!!! I have an assignment in the office" Rival annoyed as he exited the room.
David immediately heads to the bathroom to help Yara. This time David's treatment is more than just a pity on Yara. After Yara is better. David gets a drink and takes Yara to the room.
"I'm sorry I ignored you all along. I really don't mean to make you sad" said David gently as he rubbed Yara's wet lips against the rest of the drinking water.
