A Tough Decision
This morning was so bright, without the slightest clouds accompanying or even clumps of clouds blocking the beautiful view of the sun’s rays emerging from the east. The bright blue sky looks so beautiful, so it can be loved by a million people to capture moments for people who like nature like a girl who is now going to work with a smile and also high spirits. The short-haired girl who had been elongated to the shoulders even changed her hair color to black again after being dyed brown.
The girl took a selfie right at the beautiful color of the sky and also the highlights of the sun. That girl was Nova, who was now continuing her journey towards the ‘Ability to Read’ Foundation which she would soon reach. Nova continues to walk casually while occasionally humming and whistling. It seemed strange that a girl could whistle, but Nova didn’t care at all and kept walking until she had now reached a door that could only be pushed open.
“I’m coming.” She said. Obviously, it was still quiet, there was only Bang Martin who had started to greet him with a smiling smile and approached Nova who apparently also approached him until they stopped halfway between classes A and B.
“You’re leaving early, haven’t I warned you this time that you can leave at noon, the class still starts later at around 09. 00.” Bang Martin said.
“Yes, I can’t leave early?” Nova said.
“Hahaha, I’m just kidding, Bang Martin. I’m leaving early because I really want to convey the truth.” The girl continued with a smile, but not Bang Martin.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Many times the man had heard something from Nova’s mouth that even always and always told about other men, making him only able to smile wryly even though Bang Martin’s heart ached.
“Yes, tell me, I’ll listen to everything.”
“Uh, wait a minute.” Nova pulled Bang Martin’s hand to an elongated bench that was deliberately placed near the classroom wall that was used by student guardians to wait while sitting there.
“Sit here first.” Nova said.
They sat facing each other without even releasing Nova’s grip on Bang Martin’s hand. Bang Martin also noticed that and glanced at Nova. Nova who realized it just smiled awkwardly and immediately released the hand grip.
“What do you want to talk about? Just make me curious.” Bang Martin said.
“Hehehe, I just want to convey something. After months of thinking about it, we’re getting closer, aren’t we? Do you feel that way or not?” Asked Nova, Bang Martin frowned.
“You mean?”
“Yes… I… just wanted to say that your declaration of love back then, I accepted it. Is there still a chance for that?” Nova asked.
Bang Martin instantly recalled the incident, when he declared his love to Nova. Both corners of his lips lifted up and bowed his head for a moment, then looked back at Nova.
“Dih… why are you laughing? I’m serious, you know.” Nova said indignantly while advancing her lips because she was annoyed that Bang Martin only responded to her with an unclear smile according to Nova, and for Nova such a response was even like laughing at her.
“No, I just feel strange, you suddenly said that, have you really forgotten the men you told me about? Including…”
“Including what?”
“Gifer?”
“Ah, I no longer think about Mr. Gifer. To me Mr. Gifer has become the past that should be forgotten. Now I just realized that my future now is the person who loves me, I also feel that lately getting closer to you has made me fall in love with you too. Congratulations Bang Martin, you’ve won my heart. Then what about yourself? Do you also feel the same as me?” Nova asked seriously. Bang Martin immediately grasped both of Nova’s hands.
“My love for you has never changed, Nova. I’ve always loved you, even though I had to accept the fact that you loved another man. But after a long wait, you finally loved me too. I feel that indeed my struggle was not in vain, thank you Nova.” Bang Martin said while displaying his bright smile.
“Is that all? Didn’t you intend to call me ‘sweetheart’?” Nova protested. Bang Martin immediately hugged the short-haired girl.
“Alright, from now on I’ll call you sweetheart because we’re officially dating, ok?” Bang Martin said. Nova nodded in Bang Martin’s embrace.
“Ok, thank you, my dear, Bang Martin.” Instantly Bang Martin laughed as he released their hug.
“Hahahaha, but it sounds a bit strange, for those of us who have been together for a long time, see each other every day, and always laugh like we are dating, even though we have no status. But now, we are really a couple.” Bang Martin said.
“Yes, you’re right, but it doesn’t matter, what matters now is that we are lovers, no longer Bang Martin as the boss and Nova the employee.”
“Hahaha…” They laughed after declaring their feelings and officially dating.

In New York, Kiano and Yohanes are panicking and waiting outside the room for Nara who is in labor inside the delivery room. Nara had not recovered from her illness, in fact it was getting worse by the day, but she was determined to keep her baby even at the cost of her own life. Kiano bit his fingernails as he walked here and there. Yohanes who was watching also combed his hair, he was also uneasy if he saw his boss was not calm like this.
“Calm down, Kiano. I’m sure Nara will be safe.”
“That’s not the problem, Yohanes. The problem is that Nara already knows that her condition is getting worse, but during pregnancy Nara did not want to participate in chemotherapy at all, how can I be calm when it’s like this?” During this tense situation, the doctor came out of his room and asked them.
“Are you the patient’s family?” Kiano walked over and nodded.
“Yes, I’m the brother of patient Nara, Doc. How is my sister?” The doctor shook his head.
“We can’t save both of them, sir. Only one can be saved, please make a decision soon.” The doctor said.
Kiano immediately widened his eyes and asked again to make sure that what the doctor said was not true. Only one can be saved, he said. He was confused about who to choose.
“What does that mean, Doc?”
“Miss Nara has a history of internal disease that is already acute, it can even be said to be in its final stage. You must decide immediately, who to save. Is it the mother or the baby?”
DEG!
Like being hit by a boulder, Kiano was speechless after hearing that question from the doctor. But Kiano had to make a decision this time, all for Nara’s sake. That’s what was on Kiano’s mind right now. Kiano closed his eyes and looked down, smacking his lips before deciding on the big decision he was about to make. Kiano opened his eyes again with a determination he was sure of.
“Please save the baby, Doc.”
DEG!
This time it wasn’t Kiano, but Yohanes who was shocked by Kiano’s decision. The man immediately turned his head to face Kiano upon hearing that. Saving the baby? That means Nara will die later. Yohanes thought. The atmosphere was even more tense after that sentence came out of Kiano’s mouth.
