Everyone was shocked when they heard Ayun's words, especially Fathir who was currently staring at the woman in wonder and question mark.
"I want to prepare for the wedding calmly and unhurriedly, so I hope everyone agrees with what I'm saying" Ayun said later, bowing her head.
Everyone looked at each other silently for not knowing what to say. Actually for the general public, preparing for a wedding within a week is very fast and too rushed. However, not for the upper class who can all be solved with money. Especially because there is no reason to delay too long if everything is ready.
"alright. If so, the wedding will be held in the next two weeks, so all the needs will be prepared starting from tomorrow" Abbas continued.
Although feeling strange, Abbas still agreed to Ayun's wishes. Let him ask his daughter directly.
Fathir himself was also just silent while putting on his usual facial features, he then turned to look at the mother who was patting her shoulder slowly.
"It's okay, just slow down" Alma said slowly. He knew that Fathir was very eager to marry Ayun, even if he could today.
Fathir smiled as he nodded his head. "I understand, Ma. I'm not going to force Ayun, I'm already happy when she's willing to marry me."
Alma heaved a sigh of relief, she was happy if Fathir could accept Ayun's wishes despite the obvious disappointment in both eyes of her son.
After everything was done, Fathir and his family decided to go home because it was late at night. Everyone seemed to take their departure to the yard, as well as Ayun who continued to look towards her future husband.
"Sorry, Fathir. I don't mean to postpone our marriage, it's just that there's something we have to finish before we get married. At least I want to see you free from the pain you used to feel." Swing looked at Fathir wryly. A moment later he reviewed a wide smile as the man smiled at him.
"Be careful on the road" Ayun said without making a sound, giving a code to Fathir who was immediately greeted with a nod of the man's head.
After Fathir and his family left, Ayun and the others returned to the house. They decided to immediately rest because it was very tired of preparing a welcome for candidates besan.
"You want to take a break, son?" hasna asked Ayun while arranging jars of cake into the closet.
Swing shook his head. "No, Ma. I'll clean up the dirty dishes first, I'll sleep first." He spoke softly.
A woman who was a maid in the house immediately responded to Ayun's remark. "Let me take care of it, Buk. I'll just take a break." She felt sad because her employer was too kind to her.
Hasna then told Ayun to come with her after she finished storing the cookies, she also told the maid to take a break and leave her dirty dishes to wash the next day.
Ayun was forced to follow her mother and returned to the family room where it was seen that the father was waiting at that place. "Why haven't you slept?"
Abbas shook his head. "No, Son. Somebody wants you to ask me for a second."
Ayun nodded then sat on the sofa right in front of the father, as well as his mother who sat beside his father.
Abbas immediately asked about Ayun's wishes. It was not that she wanted to urge that her daughter get married quickly, it was just that she felt like there was something Ayun was planning.
Ayun sighed harshly when she heard the papa's question, though she knew that they must be curious as to why she had pushed back her wedding plans.
"There's something we need to get done before we get married, Pa. It's about Fathir and his brother" Ayun said.
Abbas gasped when he heard Ayun's words, while Hasna was silent because she knew how Fathir was doing.
Hasna was shocked when she heard the husband's words. Why can't Ayun interfere, while her daughter will be the daughter-in-law of their family?
"I understand Papa's worries, but I can't just sit around watching my future husband suffer, Pa. I don't have the heart," said Ayun with a soft look.
A vivid reminder in his memory of how Fathir was when he came to his house that night, also when the man had a panic attack while in consultation with the Doctor. And until when will it all end? How long can he see Fathir suffer like that?
"Papa understands, Son. But you must not meddle recklessly, it is a very sensitive matter" Abbas replied anxiously. He was not informed of the disease problems suffered by Fathir.
Ayun was forced to tell how the true condition of Fathir to the papa, without realizing that at this time Nindi and Keanu heard the story from behind the door of the room they occupied.
Deg.
Keanu and Nindi's heart felt like it was being hit by a big beam when it came to knowing the truth about Fathir's condition, as well as Abbas being stunned with a look of disbelief.
"Why could he, he could - O God." Abbas rubbed his face violently as he was completely unconcerned by what he had just heard. How could he not know all this time?
Keanu who heard everything instantly opened his room door firmly making everyone gasp in shock. "Is all that true?"
Swing rounded his eyes when he saw Keanu and Nindi, he thought that they had both rested and did not hear the conversation.
"Tell me, Ma'am. Is all that true?" ask Keanu back. He really felt shocked and angry because he had not known about the condition of Fathir, even though he was the person closest to the man.
Swing nodded his head. "Yes, Ken. I'm sorry, you didn't tell you all this time, because Fathir didn't want you to worry about him.
Keanu also rubbed his crimson face violently. Fathir would often go to the hospital on the grounds of meeting Alma, or the man would confine himself indoors if he discussed the company of the Fathir family. It turns out that all this time the man hid the panic attacks that were being suffered, even from him as well.
"You're really great, Fathir. You're very good at hiding everything" Keanu muttered in annoyance. He felt completely useless and felt guilty for not knowing about anything.
Swing shook his head. He then denied Keanu's remarks and pleaded with them not to say anything about this to Fathir, as he did not want to make the man even more depressed.
"I've spoken to the Doctor and made an appointment before their consultation schedule, I'll tell you how Fathan is doing right now. I hope the Doctor can find the best way out for both Fathir and Fathan, I can't bear to see them continue like that. Regardless of who was wrong in the past," said Ayun merrily.
Ayun believes that Fathir's condition can definitely improve, as well as Fathan who is currently still in the ICU room.
Although Fathan committed a very cruel crime, but now the condition of the man is worthy of pity. Especially the situation of Fathir who had to suffer from the work of Fathan. Therefore, Ayun believes that the brothers can cure each other's diseases.
"Alright, Ma'am don't have to worry. Mbak just do what Mbak thinks is good, and stay beside Fathir. Let me solve other problems, I will crush the bej*at rats in his family company. I will set up a clean environment for Fathir when he returns to his company later."
