Chapter 1 Meeting
"Oh my God, how long will it be like this? I can't bear to see my father in pain, and I don't know where to find the money to pay for his treatment." Mora was outside her father's room, still thinking about how she could pay for his treatment.
"Honey, aren't you going to college?" scolded Mommy Mira, seeing her daughter daydreaming about something. It made her feel sorry to see him, her son should focus on college instead of thinking about the problem of his father's medical expenses.
"Um, yes Mum. I'm leaving too," Mira said, just waking up from her daydream, trying to stay calm.
"What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about your Daddy?" asked Mommy Mira, asking her daughter what she was thinking about. To the point that her son still hadn't left for college yet.
"Yes Mum, I'm confused. Our savings are already low, I'm thinking about my father's medical expenses. Where else should we look for money," Mira answered honestly, that she was indeed thinking about her financial problems.
How could she get that much money, while her savings were already running low.
"Honey, don't think about it. I'll try to find another way," Mommy Mira asked her daughter not to think about her father's medical expenses. Let her find a way to pay for all his medical expenses.
"Mommy just take care of Daddy, let me take care of Daddy's medical expenses. Mommy just calm down," Mira said, only wanting her mother to look after her father in the hospital.
Maybe later she would find the money to pay for all of her father's medical expenses herself.
"But honey, where else are you going to find the money? Your father's medical expenses are expensive," said Mira's mother, thinking that her husband's medical expenses were very expensive. Then how could her son find that much money.
"I'll try. I'll go to college first," said Mira asking her mother to stay calm, she would continue to try to find the money. She shook hands with her mum and said goodbye to go to college today.
"Yes dear, be careful on the road. I always wish you the best dear," Maya said, she always prayed for her son. Hopefully her son can get the money to pay for all of his father's medical expenses.
On the other hand, a beautiful woman named Risa. The wife of a lecturer, has been married since 3 years ago. But, both of them are still not given offspring. Risa feels like a failure as a wife because she can't give her husband offspring.
Arya had just come out of the bathroom, seeing his wife in bed playing his mobile phone. He had deliberately asked his wife to stay at home, not to work in the office. Inevitably, his wife complied with his wishes.
"Honey, I'm leaving first." Arya said goodbye to his wife to immediately leave for his campus to teach at this time.
"Mas, I have something to talk to you about." Risa had been wanting to talk to her husband, there was one thing she wanted to talk about regarding her marriage.
"What is it, dear? Do you want to ask for something hem?" Arya reprimanded while kissing his wife's cheek gently, he loved his wife so much.
"No Mas," Risa replied that she hadn't asked her husband for anything at all.
"Then what, dear?" asked Arya with a confused look at her wife's face. Apparently, his wife really wanted to talk seriously with him.
"Mas, I'm asking you to get married again. It's no use waiting for me to get pregnant, I won't get pregnant. I'm barren," Risa begged her husband to comply with her wishes, as she would never be able to get pregnant. Why would her husband wait for her to get pregnant, when she herself was barren and could never have children.
"No! Until whenever I don't want to get married again, I only want to have one wife. Whether we have children or not is God's business, I've never questioned you getting pregnant. I just want you to stay at home and serve your husband."
Arya shook his head rejecting his wife's request that he was told to remarry, while he only wanted to have only one wife. He did not demand his wife to get pregnant at all. His life is already happy with his wife without children.
"But Mas, I'm also lonely at home. I want to have a child," Risa protested that she also felt lonely at home, as her husband worked every day and she was alone at home.
"We can adopt Ris's child, no need to get married." Arya just wanted to adopt another child, no need to get married to another woman.
"Mas, please just follow my wishes for this time. After all, your parents also always ask us about children, right? I agree with your parents' request to allow you to remarry." Risa still insisted that her husband remarry, she agreed with her parents-in-law's request for her husband to remarry another woman.
"I still don't want to get married again, don't push me." Arya still refused her wife's request, asking her not to force herself to remarry. He immediately rushed to leave for his campus.
"Mas, wait a minute, we haven't finished talking yet." Risa chased after her husband so he wouldn't leave, she still wanted to talk to him again.
"I'm leaving for campus, take good care of yourself at home." Arya asked his wife to take good care of herself at home, as he walked out of his house.
"I'm about to be late again, I have to hurry to class now." Mira walked hurriedly to her class, suddenly she bumped into a man who was in front of her.
"Oh my!" Arya gasped seeing the woman fall on the floor, making her stare sharply.
"Aw, it hurts. When you walk, look around, sir, it hurts." Mira scolded the man who had bumped into her, her leg was in a lot of pain.
"You should be the one looking around, not looking the other way. Move aside!" said Arya, not wanting to bother, she immediately hurriedly went to her room alone.
