TO A CITY WITH TWO PURPOSES

After parting with Rafka, Hanin's heart felt even more sad. There is no longer any passion in her life.

Jonathan, who knew this, shared Hanin's sadness.

"Hanin, don't be sad... can't you still keep in touch with Rafka by sending letters to each other?" Jonathan said, unable to comfort Hanin who was sad.

"I'm just sad Jo, why is my only friend who really understands me having to part with me." Hanin said with tears in her eyes.

"One day we can meet Han again, and I'm still here to take care of you." Jonathan said sincerely.

"I won't live here anymore, Jo, you and Amelia don't know that your mother wants me to marry Mr. Hasta, my father's friend," said Hanin, crying softly.

"What's Han? do you want to marry Mr. Hasta? the old man? I'm going to see mom now, I don't agree with this marriage!" Jonathan said with a broken heart.

"It's too late Jo, I already agreed to the marriage. Tomorrow morning I will go to the city to get married there, after that come back here and live at Mr Hasta's house," explained Hanin crying in sadness.

"No Hanin, why are you doing this? You are young, you still have aspirations for school. Why did you agree to this marriage?" Jonathan asked with a very hurt heart.

"You know, Jo, how mom and Amelia treat me? How long do I have to suffer like this? At least after I marry Mr Hasta, I won't feel the torment anymore. And I'm also still allowed to study until I go to college." Hanin said with a slightly relieved heart after telling Jonathan.

"Can't you be happy without marrying that old man, Han?" Jonathan asked desperately.

"I can't, Jo, at this time only Mr. Hasta can help me from Mother's torment." Hanin said again handing everything that happened to God.

"Okay Han, I also don't know what else to do to help you, besides wanting to see you happy." Jonathan said resignedly to Fate.

"I want to prepare my clothes first, Jo, this afternoon Mr. Hasta picks me up. And maybe today is the last day we live together under the same roof. After this we can only meet at school if we are in the same school." said Hanin with tears in her eyes because apart from Rafka who was always there for her, Jonathan also always took care of her.

"I will continue my education at Pelita High School. You just ask Mr. Hasta to study there, so I can take care of you." Jonathan said with certainty in his heart no matter who Hanin belongs to he will always be there for Hanin.

"Okay Jo, I'll tell Mr. Hasta when we meet later." Hanin said as she entered the room to tidy up her clothes.

Right at noon Hasta came to pick up Hanin. Dina and Amelia smiled slyly. Only Jonathan stared at Hanin in silence, leaving a wound on him that could not be healed.

"Hanin, we are going straight to the city today, so that when we return tomorrow we will already have a marriage certificate which in their eyes we are legally married." Hasta said very calmly.

"I'll just do what you say." Hanin said sitting quietly with a blank mind.

Hasta sat quietly beside Hanin. Rahmat, his personal driver, who knows everything, is very sorry for Hasta, who is always kind to Usman, Hanin's father. Yet because of Usman, Hasta lost his wife.

"Grace, have you booked a hotel room for us to stay?" asked Hasta in a deep voice.

"Already sir. Two rooms as Mr. Hasta ordered." Rahmat said seriously.

"Thank you Rahmat." Hasta said then leaned back with his eyes closed.

Hanin who is sitting beside Hasta is a little confused by what Hasta did for her.

"If indeed Mr. Hasta simply wants to help her, why not just adopt her, but why marry her?" That question had been lingering in her mind for the past few days.

"Hasta, we have arrived." said Rahmat waking Hasta who had fallen asleep on the way.

"Alright Rahmat, please take Hanin inside and take care of Hanin until I come back." said Hasta who got out of his car and moved to sit in front where the place was to drive.

"Mr. Hasta where are you going?" asked Hanin a little afraid if Hasta left alone in the city.

"I'm leaving for a while, there is Rahmat who will take care of you later." Hasta answered who didn't explain where he was going.

"Come on, Miss Hanin, come with me." Rahmat said while carrying Hanin's bag.

Hanin got out of the car with her eyes never leaving Hasta's eyes.

"Mr. Rahmat, Mr. Hasta will come back here right?" asked Hanin after being inside the hotel.

"Of course, Miss, later Mr Hasta will come back here when Mr. Hasta's business is finished." Rahmat replied with a look full of sadness.

Hanin was silent again hearing Rahmat's answer, which seemed to be holding something sad.

Being in a fairly large room, Hanin sat pensively as her gaze swept across the corners of the room.

"Miss Hanin, this is a cell phone that Mr. Hasta bought for Miss Hanin to use if she wants to call Mr. Hasta. Hasta's number is already on this phone." explained Rahmat while giving Hanin a pretty expensive cell phone.

And Hanin herself could only stare while holding the phone tightly.

"How can I call Mr. Hasta, how to open it, I don't know." Hanin said in her heart with a long sigh.

"If there's anything you can call me in the next room, Miss Hanin." said Rahmat then left Hanin who sat pensively with her mind still unable to believe what had happened to her life.

"Oh God, whatever happens I can only surrender to You. I will accept anything if this is your destiny." Hanin prayed in her heart.

***

In a hospital, specifically in the special room of Dr. Husin, Hasta sat with the results of his final diagnosis.

"Hasta, I suggest that if you really want to reduce your pain, you should follow this routine therapy. Emphysema can only be prevented from developing. but the lung damage itself cannot be cured except with a lung transplant." Husin explained as Hasta's personal doctor who had been taking care of Hasta's condition for a long time when he dropped because of Emphysema in his lungs.
