"It's an invitation for the doctor" said Syifa who stuck an invitation right on the table to make Bryan's doctor reach for the invitation that had been placed on the table.
"Invitation from Syifa?"
"Invitation from Mama?"
"Your mother remarried to your father?"
Hearing that question made Syifa smile a little. He bowed and looked back at the doctor Bryan who had been watching him.
Frankly, Dr. Bryan was afraid to mispronounce. He did not want to make Syifa sad.
"That's Mama's invitation."
"Your mother remarried?"
"Yes, doctor. Mama is married to Jaya. He's Syifa's father's candidate."
"Prospective Father? Aren't both of your parents still alive?"
"Yes but the relationship is dead."
"meaning?" His eyes don't understand.
"Dad of Syifa and Mama-"
"Oh okay, okay. I see," cut out Bryan's doctor who now made Syifa undo her intention to tell him everything.
After seeing the look on Syifa's face, Bryan's doctor came to understand what really happened to one of his patients.
And this is also the reason why Syifa does not want if both parents know the disease.
Of course Syifa did not want to make both parents feel worried even more so the relationship has also been damaged.
"Doctor's coming, yeah!"
"Can. If I have time, I will come."
"But if for example Bryan's doctor met Mama please don't tell Mama that Bryan's doctor is a Syifa doctor who knows about Syifa's disease."
"If he asks?" ask the doctor who is holding back the laughter.
I don't know why now he was invited to lie to a child like Syifa.
"Yes, the doctor does not have to answer again Mama will not ask if the doctor wears a doctor's clothes to the wedding Mama," he said.
"Well," he answered briefly and put the invitation in his desk drawer.
"I'll come if the doctor has time."
"But Syifa wishes doctors had plenty of time."
Hearing that made Dr. Bryan laugh. It's not the first time a patient has invited him to an event but it's the first time that a patient has been a bit pushy and it's done by Syifa, the little girl who was diagnosed with brain cancer.
"Then what about the treatment?"
"Mama's wedding ceremony is two days away and after that Syifa will undergo chemotherapy according to the doctor's request."
"When will everything be hidden from your parents? Sooner or not everything will be revealed. Your mom and dad will know that, of course."
"Dad will know? But which father was it? Syifa's father or Mama Syifa's husband?" the candlestick made doctor Bryan sigh.
"Syifa I know you are a cheerful girl and want to make everyone smile but this is very serious. I'm not kidding. The slower the chemotherapy is done, the slower it will be"
Doctor Bryan paused his sentence making Syifa smile while lowering her gaze as if she did not dare to look at Doctor Bryan.
"Although many failures in chemotherapy-treatment"
"Syifa can definitely heal," Syifa cut.
"But Syifa hopes Syifa can be healed" he continued.
"Hopefully. God is not sleeping. He knew the earnest Syifa and the healing Syifa."
Syifa took a deep breath and then immediately got up.
"To the doctor then Syifa said goodbye first. Syifa wanted to go home immediately later Mama became suspicious again," he said then he immediately stepped up and turned away until suddenly the voice of the doctor was heard making Syifa step stopped.
"Your medicine is over?"
Syifa looked back at the doctor who was still looking at her with a serious look.
"There's a doctor."
"You drink a lot, don't you?"
"Every day. Still according to the dose and timing."
"Good now go home and rest enough!"
"To the doctor" he replied, then stepped out of the doctor's room Bryan did not forget also today he brought a sprig of roses for Nayla.
I think he really misses meeting his new best friend. Yesterday he was so busy that he never got to meet Nayla. It was possible that Nayla had also been searching for him since yesterday.
Wedding Preparation...
Syifa looked up in all directions staring at the huge stage that was still unfinished decorated. There's so much decoration plastered there. The stage is spacious, the chairs are lined up still in the process of installing a seat cover that looks white.
All decorations are equipped with white and black colors, this is tailored to the wedding dress that Rahmi and Pak Jaya use.
Many people pass by and look busy in preparing for the wedding to be held tomorrow. I can't wait to see the happiness that will happen tomorrow.
Syifa even occasionally helps shortcuts who look a little overwhelmed. He was so happy to be able to help the people around him that Syifa's hand movements came to a standstill while he was busy putting on a chair sheath when someone stepped up to him.
The look on her face was very happy, this was the first time Syifa saw the smiling figure of her Mama with a look so very, very different from before.
The sad face of grief after parting with his father was now replaced with a happy smile after he was soon to be married to Pak Jaya, the future father of Syifa who used to be a nightmare that existed in Syifa.
"Have Syifa finished?"
"The total filing is still 70% but it's okay this seems to be soon to be completed," explained Syifa who then pointed in all directions explaining the decoration theme that has been through the Syifa design.
Hearing him Rahmi is made to laugh. His daughter explained it as if she had the decoration.
"Syifa," he said gently made Syifa stop her chattering.
"Mama did not think that Mama would marry Pak Jaya moreover Mama also did not think that Mama could get blessing from you even though you are very, very difficult to persuade."
"Mama deserves happiness. Not only can you get that happiness. Dad was married without asking for Syifa's consent while Mama, Mama asked Syifa's consent and it made Syifa happy."
"Syifa wants to see Mama happy and everything is only in Pak Jaya. Whatever makes Mama happy then Syifa will also agree with whatever it is as long as Mama remains happy."
Hearing that made Rahmi shed tears and once again Syifa rubbed the cheek of the Mama who laughed a little. Lately he was always crying and of course he was crying happily.
"Thank you Syifa. Thank you," he whispered as the two now hugged each other.
"Mom! Where's the long table?" ask someone to make the atmosphere of the day so crumpled up making Rahmi and Syifa laugh at each other.
