In the hospital

Arta and Riska walk through the hospital hallways to the nursery occupied by Denis. From a distance they see Martin and Devi coming out of Denis' room.

The two of them immediately approached Martin and Devi.

"Ma Pa, how is Om Denis" Riska said in an anxious tone, she was afraid something might happen to Denis.

"Eehh baby, why are you here? You should just rest at the hotel, you must be tired after the wedding" said Devi did not answer Riska's question.

"No Ma, we're worried about Om Denis" Riska said.

"Now that Denis is okay, the doctor has handled it well" Martin said in response to Riska's question.

"All right, Auntie. We entered first" said Arta who had been silent.

"Kok call him still Om the same aunt anyway, call him Mama same Papa dong is already a daughter-in-law Mama same Papa" protested Devi to Arta who still called him as aunty.

"Eeh yes tan, meaning Ma Pa we enter first" said Arta nervously, he could not call Martin and Devi with the name Mama, Papa.

"Yes, you have entered" said Devi, smilingly looking at her son and daughter-in-law.

Arta and Riska enter Denis's room, while Martin and Devi return home.

In the room, Vivita was sitting on the bench to the left of Denis accompanying her husband. Denis was lying weakly with an oxygen hose in his nose.

"Mi" call Arta.

Vivita immediately turned her head towards Arta and Riska who had just arrived. He smiled at the arrival of his son and daughter-in-law.

"How's Papi doing, Mi?" ask Arta to Vivita.

"It's been much better, baby, the doctor has handled it very well" Vivita replied.

"Arta, come here" Denis said softly.

Hearing the Papi call his name, Arta immediately approached Denis.

“What's Pi? Is anyone sick? Is there anything Papi needs?” Arta asked with a worried tone. He was afraid that his Papa's heart would hurt again.

Denis just smiled at Arta's worries.

"But just wanted to talk to you" Denis said. Denis's eyes then glanced at his wife, Vivita who understood Denis' gaze immediately invited Riska to leave the room, because Vivita knew that Denis only wanted to talk alone with Arta.

"What do you want to say Pi? "Say Arta after her Mama and Riska left the room.

"Arta Papi please promise me the same with Papi" said Denis, hoping Arta would promise him.

"Promise for what Pi is?" arta asked in wonder, why her Papi suddenly asked her to promise.

"Please promise me you'll grant Papi's wish" Denis said.

"Please promise me that whatever happens next you will never leave your wife's risk" she said, "And one more Papi, please give a grandson to Papi immediately" please Denis expect Arta to fulfill all his wishes.

Denis feels guilty for Riska, because her eldest son Ryo left Riska alone at her wedding. He hopes Arta is not like Ryo who left Riska, but Arta who is faithful who is always with Riska. So he told his youngest son to promise him. Denis also wanted a grandchild. He was afraid not to have time to hold his first grandchild because the doctor said that the disease he suffered so far was getting worse.

Hearing her second Papa's request surprised Arta, why did Denis ask her for a grandchild?.

"Iya Pi Arta promised not to leave Riska. But to give Papi a grandson sorry Arta can't seem to. Arta is still in school and how could I have a child at this age" Arta said, surprised to hear her one's wish. For the request of his Papa that one Arta has not been able to fulfill it, he said, because he feels not ready to have children at a very young age especially he is still a high school student where he may have children.

"Papi beg Arta to fulfill this last wish of Papi, Papi is afraid not to have much time to be able to meet Papi's first grandson" Denis said begging.he hoped Arta would fulfill his one wish. Denis knew Arta was very young to have a child but his desire to see his first grandchild was also immense. Denis didn't tell me about his illness getting worse.

"But don't say it like that, I'm sure Papi must be cured" Arta said, holding her Papi's hand free from the infusion.

"Papi is aware that Papi's request is excessive, but please be kind to give Papi" Denis said with a sad face.

Seeing the look on her sad Papi's face, Arta was forced to agree to all her Papi's wishes, even though it all felt very heavy for her. Having a child at a very young age, oh no Arta could not imagine it.

"Well Pi, I'll soon give Papi a grandson. But Papi also had to promise Arta to recover from this disease soon" said Arta. he did not have the heart to see his Papi who was sick. So he granted his Papi's request that his Papa be more eager to recover from his illness.

"Thank you Arta. Yes Papi promised, Papi will try to recover. Papi wants to hold Papi's first grandchild" Denis said with a happy smile.

"Yes Pi, equally" replied Arta also happy.

Meanwhile in the cafe opposite the hospital, Vivita and Riska sat facing each other with a round table as a barrier between them.

"Riska Mami wants to talk to you about something" Vivita said, looking serious.

"What do you want to say, Auntie?" Ask Riska.

"Riska don't call Mami Om and Aunty anymore. You will already be the daughter-in-law of Mami and Papi, call us just as Arta called us" Vivita said with a smile.

"Yes Mi" Riska said smiling awkwardly.

"I'm sorry Ryo ya Riska. Because Ryo ran away from marriage you have to marry Arta" said Vivita while holding Riska's hand. Vivita feels sorry for letting Arta marry Riska.

"Yes Mi, Riska has forgiven Ryo kok" said Riska smiling bitterly considering what happened at her wedding. But what power Riska can not do anything, he can only surrender and let go of everything. He also does not blame anyone for this incident, because Riska knows anyone does not want this to happen, let alone her.

"Thank you for forgiving Ryo, Mami knows you're a very good woman, so Mami's setting you up with Mami's son" Vivita said.

"Yes Mi, equally" replied Riska.

"It's all our parents' fault, we shouldn't have forced you to get married" Vivita said "If only Mami knew Ryo would run away from the wedding, Mami will not continue your matchmaking and this will not happen. Ryo did say if he did not want to marry you, but we still forced him to marry you" continued Vivita tears immediately fell, he said, he is very sorry to remember his previous actions that forced Ryo to marry Riska, causing his youngest child and Riska to become victims of Ryo's actions.

"It's okay Mi, maybe this has become the destiny of Riska and Arta" said Riska pacified Vivita.

"I'm sorry Mami and Papi are Riska too. Because of us, you must marry a young and possibly immature Arta. And Mami begs you to look after and guide Arta, because Mami knows you are more mature than her" Vivita said expectantly.
