A week later.
"Ahhh, sick, Lis!" Mela screams in pain while holding Lisa's hand.
The two pregnant women were in the car because Mela was about to give birth.
"Mas, hurry, Mas, pity Mela."
"Yes, be patient, Lis. Well, where the streets rame again." Amar grumbling.
"Lis, it hurts!" Mela was shrieking in pain.
The car carrying them continued to drive until it reached a hospital.
Mela was immediately handled by a doctor in the delivery room. Lisa and Amar wait outside in anxious expectation.
"Oh Allah, save Mela."
"You are calm, yes. Mela can do it." Amar tries to strengthen Lisa.
"Lis, how?" Hamid and Marni are coming. They weren't home so they didn't know Mela was going to give birth.
"Still dealt with, Buk," Lisa said anxiously.
"You're calm, he and his son must be safe" Marni also helped calm Lisa.
"Lisa's feeling just doesn't feel good, Buk." Lisa now seemed to be crying.
"Relax, Nduk, we must be sure that Mela will be fine." Hamid also calms Lisa.
Until finally the doctor came out with a different face.
"Dok, how's my cousin doing?" ask Lisa.
"Baby boy. Healthy and perfect" said the doctor.
Lisa and Amar's parents smiled happily at her. Not with Lisa. He felt something was awkward. The doctor did not name Mela.
"Then, what about Mela, Doc?" ask Lisa.
Doctor speechless. There seemed to be a heavy feeling in his heart to convey this news.
Lisa is already in tears. He seemed to understand the meaning of the Doctor, but he was still trying to brush it off.
"He survived, didn't he, Doc?"
"Sorry, Miss Mela died after giving birth to her child."
"Mela! Melaaaaa!" Lisa cries hysterically in front of Mela's delivery room. And so did his parents. They did not expect that father and son would die in the near future.
After completing the admistration, they brought Mela's body home. But baby Mela remains in the hospital due to conditions that are not ready to be taken home.
"Oh Allah, Mel, why do you have such a fate!" Lisa cries while hugging Mela's headstone.
"Patience, Nduk, all this is fate." Marni tries to calm Lisa down.
"Pity Mela, Buk, she hasn't even seen her son yet."
"Darling, don't be so lamenting, pity Mela." Amar tried to remind me.
"Pity Mela, Mas. He had been suffering on the streets. Why could his fate be this tragic? Melaa!"
"Darling, remember your content. Don't let him do anything."
With all the persuasion, Lisa finally wanted to come home.
Arriving at home, Lisa immediately pondered in her room. It seems he is still lamenting the departure of Mela.
"Honey, actually Mela left you a letter a few days ago. He seemed to have a bad feeling. He wants me to give this to you if anything happens to him." Amar gave Lisa a piece of paper.
Lisa opened the paper and read it.
Adama, Lisa. My great cousin and I love him the most. I want to apologize to you, Lis. As for what I used to do, I often do evil with you. But never once did you repay me.
In fact, when I live in misery because of my own actions, you still want to help me and also the Father.
Lis, I want to ask you something. If my son is born and anything happens to me, please take care of my son. Make him your son too. Don't let him know about his origin. Don't let him know that his father is a baj*ngan who has made his mother and grandparents' lives miserable.
Make him only know that he is the son of Amar and Lisa. Granddaughter of Hamid and Marni. I beg you, Lis. I don't want her to be sad because I know who she is. Close this secret meeting at any time.
And most importantly, don't let her father see her and it will ruin her life.
Rafli's still hanging around, Lis. I met him once who was holding another woman. Even when I saw my belly grow up, she had no compassion for me. He instead shouted at me as a mad beggar when I asked him to account for his actions.
I'm afraid he's gonna take my son, Lis. If my son is under his care, I'm afraid my son will become a con man like him. On the contrary, if he were under your care, he would be a good boy, just like you. Give him the name ZEIN.
Thank you, yes, Lis for your kindness all along. You angelic heart, I will always love you.
Greetings dear, Mela.
After reading the letter from Mela, Lisa was sobbing. Hugging the letter, he muttered, "i promise, Mel, I will take care of her for the rest of my life. I'm gonna close a secret meeting about who he is."
Amar kissed Lisa's forehead, then hugged her. Similar to Lisa, he also did not mind adopting Mela's child and considered her as his own.
