Flowers were so stunned to hear Billy's words, the man invited him to get married, he really did not expect Billy would say that when he had just realized from the calamity that had befallen him. You could say it feels so fast and so surprising.
At this time, Bunga just fell silent, he could not reply to Billy's question, because he did not know the answer either.
"Do you want to marry me, Bunga?" billy asked again, the man put his hand on the back of the Flower hand, then held the hand warmly, as if asking for an answer.
However, Bunga is still silent, and still confused to answer what Billy's offer to him. Yes, in the mind of Bunga, which is said by Billy is only an offer, because he does not know the meaning of Billy suddenly invite him to marry.
"Do you feel sorry for me?" ask Flowers.
"Why are you saying that?"
"Doctor, isn't my situation sad? You're just gonna feel sorry for me, aren't you?"
"No Flowers, not only limited to that, marriage is not a flower game, because it concerns feelings and of course the life that will be lived together. You need to know, I do love you. I love you, Bunga. Trust me."
Flowers were surprised to hear Billy's sudden love statement. It all felt so surprising to him that when he had just come to terms between life and death, he had to hear a marriage invitation from Billy. And when Bunga was still trying to arrange his heart, the man declared his love for her.
Actually this is the most beautiful thing that has ever happened in the life of flowers. However, when he recalled the difference between himself and Billy, Bunga felt so sad. It felt like a wall was so thick, blocking their relationship. It is undeniable, however, that their status is different and being married to a man who looks so perfect in his eyes really makes Bunga feel inferior.
Bunga realizes that she is not comparable to Billy, she is just an orphan and a widow. To Bunga, only a foolish man would accept himself.
There was nothing he had, let alone the advantages within him. When compared to Erina, that woman was simply incomparable to him. Flowers, just a woman to be pitied, being Erina, the woman is perfect, as in the mind of Flowers.
That was the reason, why he asked Billy why he married her first. Because for the flower Billy married her just a pity. Seeing the still silent Flower finally Billy opened his voice.
"Well flowers, it's okay if you can't answer it yet. I'll give you some time until you're sure of your answer. But you need to remember I asked you to marry me because I really love you Flowers. Is everything I've done not enough to show you my love?"
Hearing Billy's words, Flowers could only close their eyes. It felt as if his heart was feeling so sick, holding back the struggling feelings within his chest, his logic and heart were truly at war.
In the deepest heart of Flowers, of course, he really wants to answer yes from Billy's question. However, his common sense kept forcing him to think logically, he was nothing compared to Billy, which was what he had in mind.
"Thank you for understanding, Doctor. Then, how is Alea doing? I want to see my daughter."
"You don't need to worry Flower, Alea is fine, she is currently in the treatment room. I've asked my friend to give Alea the best treatment."
Again, the flower can only shed its tears. I don't know how many times the tears had dripped, after he woke up from his long sleep. His chest felt increasingly claustrophobic, seeing all the reality that existed.
To be honest, he loved Billy so much, a man who was so good to him, there was a sense of unwillingness if he let go of such a good man just like that. His heart continued to wriggle, as if it could no longer hold the love in his chest. However, his logic continues to reject him, because he is not comparable to Billy.
"Flower, why are you saying that? Do you doubt my feelings? Or do you doubt that I can't love Alea like my real daughter? Don't you know I love Alea too much?"
"That's not the doctor, but please think again. There is much more to think about, because marriage is also not only limited to the relationship of two people. But, we also have to think about how your two parents feel. Haven't you been betrothed to Erina? I don't want any heart to hurt, Doctor."
"Flower listen to me, I don't need my family's blessing to marry you, all I need is an answer from you. After that, I'll take care of everything. This may sound selfish, but I do want to be with you. I know the path we're going to take is definitely not easy, but trust me I will always try to protect you and love you with all my heart."
Billy again clasped the flower fingers. "Let's get well soon Flowers, so we can have a marriage with happiness."
"But doctor, you should also recall my status. I am just a widow. Maybe, you don't have a problem with that, but does your family want to accept Alea too?"
"Don't I tell you, I never cared about my family, all I cared about was our happiness, me, you, and Alea, without them."
"Doctor, you don't know who Alea really is." Billy frowned while looking at Bunga with a question mark.
"What happened to Alea? Does your doubt in me have anything to do with Alea's real father? If I may know, who is Alea's real father, Bunga?"

Throughout the night Mauren could not sleep, he kept thinking and considering what decisions to take over the reality that was happening. Maintain the marriage intact, or help his parents. It all felt so complicated to him.
Mauren wiped her tears then looked at Sean who was currently still asleep while holding back the cries and voices of the people, of course she did not want the man to wake up and see his miserable state.
The darkness of the night faded, the sound of crowing chickens began to sound loud. The dawn has broken, to be immediately welcomed by the inhabitants of the earth who will start the activity.
Realizing that morning had greeted, Mauren who could not sleep all night rose up from the bed amid the fragility of his soul and body. After preparing the clothes that Sean would wear, the woman woke her husband up. "Mas, wake!"
Hearing a soft voice from Mauren, Sean slowly opened his eyes. "Good morning my wife, dear" said Sean, but Mauren was quick to say.
"Mas there's something I want to talk about, sorry if this sounds so sudden. But I'm really asking you to help, Mom."
Hearing a surprise morning greeting reply from Mauren, of course, Sean was surprised. "What's the matter Mauren? Why are you suddenly saying that?"
"Do you want to grant my request?"
"Of course, Mauren, don't you know I love you so much? I promise I'll do whatever you ask."
"Then marry the flower again. Please refer to the Flower, Mas."
