"I will refuse, my mother. Because I don't want that man nor am I equally hurt."
DEG!
Like being struck by Godam, Doni's heart when he heard Siska's answer. The look on the young man's face turned red.
"Why can you refuse Sis?"
"Because I've had Gonorrhea. Even though I was healed, I was afraid of having a husband-wife relationship. What if after intercourse the disease reappears? Then my husband died. I must be the one to be accused of killing him, ma'am." Siska started to shed her tears.
Doni felt guilty seeing it, but he could no longer stem his feelings. She grabbed Siska and drowned her face in her chest. It made the girl sobbing.
"Siska, I'm sorry I made you cry. I won't repeat anymore." after saying that, the two of them broke each other's embrace. Doni wiped away the tears on Siska's cheek.

The two-day day Siska and Miss Mirna still looked quite awkward. But after a month the two worked in the same place, and always interacted, making the relationship slowly improve.
Ms. Mirna secretly also noticed Siska who turned out to have changed. And vice versa, Siska noticed that Miss Mirna had changed.
Even Siska was happy to see Miss Mirna wearing a hijab. She wanted to do the same thing, wearing a hijab.
After earning a salary, Siska bought a dozen hijabs for herself and Ms. Mirna, through an online shopping app. Not only that, he also bought a comfortable stellan for work wear, dress and mucena.
All the items that Siska was going to hand over to Miss Mirna, she wrapped neatly and put in a large paper bag. He will give up at work later.
After the morning shower, Siska also tidied up. Today is his first day of looking different. She wears cream-colored toad pants, a long white tunic, and a headscarf that matches her pants.
"O Allah, may You be pleased with what I am doing" he murmured. Then step out of the room and walk towards the front of the hostel.
Shortly after, Doni's car stopped right in front of him. The young man lowered his car glass and looked closely at Siska's new appearance.
He blinked his eyes as he became more and more fascinated with the girl's appearance.
"Siska?" muttered.
"Yes, do I look any less good?" siska asked in no confidence.
"No. Quite the contrary. Your appearance is good. L like it. Let's go in."
"Thank you." replied Siska with a smile. Then the woman got into the car.
"What did you bring?" Doni glanced at a large paper bag that Siska had placed near his feet.
"That's good, may Miss Mirna like it."
Doni immediately drove his car faster, because both of them still had to stop by the market.
After both of them from the market, then the car headed to the tavern. Looked like Miss Mirna was sitting on the terrace.
Ms. Mirna was a little shocked, seeing Siska's new appearance. And the girl got off her boss' car.
Indeed, during this time Doni and Siska deliberately went home late, and left early. So that Ms. Mirna doesn't know if Siska is riding in her boss' car. Then it leads to suspicion.
Ms. Mirna approached Doni's car and helped get her groceries out.
Seeing Bu Mirna approaching, Siska grabbed the hand of Bu Mirna kissed the back of her hand with reverence.
That's what Siska has been doing, since the second day Ms. Mirna worked. At first Ms. Mirna thought that Siska was doing it to grab Doni's attention and attention. But over time Ms. Mirna could see, if Siska sincerely did so.
After bringing in all his belongings, the three of them worked as usual. In the middle of them being busy, came two people who applied for work.
Doni did open a job opening. Because every day he and his two employees are almost overwhelmed serving buyers.
The man immediately cleaned himself up and did some tests before receiving both.
Test results were announced that day. Both accepted. Starting that day, both can work.
As an older person, Siska helped guide the two new hires. Doni who saw him smiled wryly. And by accident, Miss Mirna saw it again.
At first, Miss Mirna just thought of it as ordinary. But the longer he could interpret if, his boss was definitely putting his heart on Siska. But the woman just let it go and did not want to interfere.
The sun is rolling fast. As usual, it wasn't until four in the afternoon that Doni's sales were up. They immediately get ready to go home.
While outside, Siska took the paper bag from inside the car and gave it to Ms. Mirna.
"Mom, please accept."
"What's this?" Ms. Mirna frowned staring at the paper bag for a moment, then at Siska.
"Shirt to change. All this time Siska had always troubled mother and never gave anything."
Doubtfully Ms Mirna accepted it while saying thanks. Siska smiled with relief to see her mother-in-law willing to accept her gift.
