In a special waiting room for families of ICU patients, Ambar and Herman sat on a plastic carpet. They leaned against the cold wall.
"Sir, why haven't you liked our daughter-in-law all this time?" ask Ambar slowly.
Herman turned his head, he looked at his wife's face that looked so tired. He did not answer Ambar's question.
"Now mom asks. If you were in the position of Bayu, how would you feel if you were hated by your own parents?" Ambar paused his sentence for a while. She saw her husband glaring and turned his gaze to the ceiling of the room.
"What will you do if you choose to leave your Father? Are you ready to lose your mother and son?" continued Ambar.
"Work you when you say, Mom. Who wants to leave my father?" herman exclaimed as he looked into his wife's sharp eyes.
"Everybody has limits on patience, sir. Likewise with Mom, Bayu, and Aisyah. If you remain selfish to hate Aisha for no apparent reason, it could be that one day we will leave the Father" Ambar explained with emphasis.
Herman was silent, his mind was back to look far at the events that had passed. He realized that his attitude had been too late to Aisha and Bayu. Even he also told them to divorce even though Bayu firmly rejected it. Herman is now guilty.
"If you hadn't behaved like that, you might have lived together and the accident never happened" Herman said in his heart.
"Father does not want Mother and Bayu ninggalin Father. What do you have to do now?" he said beside Ambar.
Ambar smiled, feeling grateful that his prayers had been granted by God.
"I apologize to Aisyah" said Ambar.
"I'm sorry? No way, Mom. You're ashamed!" herman was like a child.
"So, do you choose to be ashamed or regretful if something happens that you don't want?" ask Ambar.
They're speechless. Herman seemed to think hard to answer his wife's question until Aisyah's voice from the door surprised them.
"Mother! The father! Bayu is conscious."
The two people who were no longer dusk immediately stood up to greet Aisyah. Seeing the twinkle of happiness from the son-in-law's eyes made Herman realize that his son's happiness was only in Aisyah.
"Thank God, really, Aish?" exclaiming Ambar who contracted the happy aura of Aisyah.
"Yes, Mom. Now the doctor is checking the condition of Mas Bayu. Most likely, soon Mas Bayu can move to an ordinary ward," explained Aisyah.
"Alhamdulillah" said Herman relieved. Since yesterday the man was confused to think about the cost of care in the ICU that is not cheap. Although the insurance business is finished, but Herman is not sure if all the costs will be covered.
...**********...
News of Bayu's current condition was welcomed by Aisyah's family and colleagues. During the recovery period, Aisyah always accompanied Bayu. Even the woman further solidified her heart to stay by Bayu's side. They promise to start from the beginning and correct the mistakes they have made in the past.
"What if I hadn't been in this accident, you'd be willing to hang by my side, Dek? I'm willing to have to feel pain like this as long as you are willing to withdraw your words," Bayu teased Aisyah who was preparing a drink for her.
"What, really, Mas! It's been drunk on milk." Aisyah blushed every time Bayu reminded Aisyah of her whining while she was still in the ICU.
"Your face is like that makes me miss, Dek. When, um, can I go home?" Bayu pretended to sulk.
"Propay why, anyway, Mas. If the doctor hasn't allowed it, yes, it can't."
"I'm tired of it here" said Bayu.
"Mas Bayu kayak a child. Now I'm saying the doctor can go home soon!" aisha cried to her husband.
Without them noticing, Tian was already standing in front of the door of Bayu's room. The man could only stare at the warmth of a happy-looking couple. His heart was sore, his old wounds from Ajeng's actions, as if he had been splashed again with salt water. Even more painful.
Septian who had not met Aisyah for a few days, ventured to come to Bayu's hospital room just to see the woman. His longing for Aisyah's figure really made him desperate to do beyond reason. Septian never gave up on getting close to Aisyah despite a fistfight with the man who was Aisyah's husband.
"Is there no chance for me to be happy, Ais. Why do you always refuse my presence. Even you never allowed me anything for a moment to get to know you more closely" Septian said in his heart.
"Sir Tian?" squeal Diana. He was surprised to see the handsome man standing in front of Bayu's room.
Diana was confused just according to it. He did not understand Tian's attitude. They finally stopped at a park a bit away from Bayu's room.
"Pak Tian why? If you want to visit, why not enter?" diana asked who was still astonished by Tian's attitude.
Septian let out a long breath. He sat on an iron bench in the garden.
"I don't want to disturb the two of them together, Di. Moreover, Aisyah looked so happy," Tian sneered with a blank look.
Diana who heard that felt a wound from every word spoken from Septian's thin lips.
"Sir, Bayu mas is indeed a source of happiness Ma'am Aish. That's how Ms. Aish, he if it's love, even though hurt will still love," said Diana. The woman sat beside Septian.
"Is that so?" tian asked the woman beside him.
Diana just nodded. He knows exactly how his brother is. Although some time ago her brother said he wanted to separate from Bayu, but in his little heart Aisyah still loved her husband.
"Am I too bad, Di?" ask Septian again.
"Why do you talk like that? No one said you were bad. You are the most handsome and best person I have ever met" said Diana with sparkling eyes. Diana was unaware that the man beside her was glancing sharply at her.
"But why did Aisyah reject me, Di? Why did my house fail?" septian Lirih.
"Sir, whose name is love cannot be forced. Love is sacrifice. The true form of love is to see the happiness of those we love. Isn't that right, sir?" answer Diana.
"You really mean it, like you've experienced it." Septian chuckled at Diana's reply.
"Well, that's it, sir. Diana was often surprised by those who said love, but always forced the will on her partner. That, after all, is not love. But obsession. According to Diana, Father is a great man who greatly appreciates the true meaning of love. Do not worry, at this time the best mate is being prepared by God. Father's soul mate is solidifying themselves to deserve to be on the side of the Father. So you have to stay up, yeah."
For a moment they quietly enjoyed the breeze that blew through the cracks of the leaves.
"Pak Tian so want to visit the Bayu mas is not it? If not, what if Diana asked Mr. Tian to help nemenin Diana jenguk mas Bayu?" ask Diana. He got up from his seat and waited for Tian's reply.
The man's thick eyebrows almost interlocked hearing Diana's request.
"Well, if it's not the same thing, Di?"
They chuckled after Tian realized Diana's ignorance. He got up and accepted Diana's request.
"Come, Di!"
