Alma gasped in surprise when she heard Ayun's words, she stared at the woman in confusion and question mark.
"What, what do you mean, swing?" asked Alma with a witty look.
Swing moved to sit beside Alma to get closer, she then held the two hands of the woman who was currently interlocked.
"I'm sorry to surprise Aunt, but I have a pretty good reason why I did it" Ayun said slowly.
She then explained all the plans she would do, as well as the reason why she wanted to reunite Fathir with Fathan even though it could trigger the health of her future husband.
"I've consulted with the Doctor, Auntie. Tomorrow he will ask Fathir to come to the hospital and continue the next session, after which it can only be seen whether he can meet with Fathan or not" said Ayun after finishing telling everything.
Alma was silent when she heard Ayun's explanation. He felt moved because the woman thought of Fathir's health like that, not only Fathir, even until Fathan also clearly hurt Fathir.
However, Alma still felt worried and anxious. The last time Fathir's condition worsened when forced to meet with Fathan, so is the state of Fathan who to this day is still in the ICU room.
"I'm sorry, Auntie. I should have talked about this matter first with Auntie," Ayun said wistfully, she felt guilty for making her own decision, not even saying it to Fathir's parents.
The look of worry in both of Alma's eyes turned into a twinkle of happiness when he heard Ayun's words. "No, Honey. You didn't make a mistake, so don't apologize." He shook his head to refute the woman's words.
"Tante feels very moved and happy because you think about and care about the state of the aunt children, really no one else cares so much like you," continued Alma while staring with a sad.
Ayun was relieved that Alma was not offended by what she was doing, after which she promised that she would continue to be by Fathir's side to give support to the man.
After talking to his future father-in-law, Ayun went to leave the place. There was still another job he had to do, which was about the preparation of his marriage and Fathir.
"Do you want to meet Fathan before you go?"
Swing gasped when he heard Alma's words. "Meet with Fathan?" She was shocked and unexpected by the offer the woman had said.
Alma nodded while putting on a faint smile. "really. Soon you'll be married to Fathir, there's no harm in meeting your sister-in-law."
Ah, Ayun was delighted when she heard that. He quickly nodded his head to accept Alma's invitation, despite the slight hesitation in his heart.
Alma then takes Ayun to the room where Fathan is. To be honest he had absolutely no intention to bring Ayun together with Fathan, let alone considering the events in the past were very closely related to a woman.
However, Alma felt very touched by Ayun's kindness. He wanted to try to believe the woman's beliefs, so there was no harm in bringing Ayun together with her eldest son.
"Come in, Swing. Aunty will wait here," said Alma when he arrived in front of Fathan's room, seen the man was asleep in bed.
"Did Auntie not come in?" ask Ayun. He glanced at the Doctor who was guarding Fathan's room, then looked back at Alma.
Alma shook her head. Actually, he himself still could not explain what happened in the past, that's why he felt so hard to meet his eldest son.
"During this Aunty and om who became the encouragement of Fathir, he even wanted to consult with the Doctor for the sake of his parents. He must be sad to see Aunt like this" said Ayun. He knows that Alma is reluctant to enter Fathan's room.
Alma gave a rough breath. "Tante feels very guilty, Ayun. It feels like Aunty is afraid of hurting Fathir even more if she meets her brother." Both eyes glazed.
Fathir would feel sad if he put both his parents between him and Fathan, let alone they are biological tits. All parents will not be able to choose one of their children.
"Let's go in, Auntie! We forget the past that has happened, and now we only hope that the situation of Fathir and his brother soon back healthy" said Ayun later.
Alma took a deep breath while trying to calm herself down, she then exhaled slowly while nodding her head.
Swing smiled happily. If the heart and feelings of a mother are calm, then she is sure that the condition of their children will certainly improve as well.
The two women then immediately entered the room in front of them. A Doctor and a nurse immediately welcomed Ayun and Alma, then invited them to enter Fathan's room.
As soon as Alma stepped into the son's room, Fathan's eyes opened as if suddenly waking from his sleep. He usually won't wake up for the next few hours after taking the medicine.
Both of Alma's eyes immediately glazed over as he looked at the son's face, while Ayun just remained silent while standing in the doorway.
"Ma-mama?" fathan said with shock when he saw the whereabouts of the mother. His chest was pounding as if he could not believe what he was currently seeing. "Ma-mama's here?" He asked softly.
Alma nodded her head with both hands clenched tightly, resisting the urge to hug Fathan's body.
"W-how are you doing, son? You okay?"
Fathan looked at his mother with tears. For many years he had not heard the call, not even feeling the worry given by his mother.
"I'm good, Ma. I'm very kind" Fathan replied with a faint smile.
Alma nodded in relief when she heard it, and her heart felt lighter as if a heavy weight had just been lifted from her chest.
"Thank God. I'm sorry that mommy can see you now." Lirih Alma's.
Fathan nodded in understanding. At least he can return to talk to his mother, even though he had to wait a long time with a tormented feeling due to his own actions.
"And this is Ayun," continued Alma holding Ayun's arm and asking the woman to come closer, making Fathan immediately turn towards Ayun. "She will marry Fathir, and will be your sister-in-law."
Fathan straightened his eyes when he heard the mother's words.
"She, is she going to marry Fathir?"
