"Until I grow old and die!" shouted Doni.
"As long as Sabrina is still alive, I won't give up unless God wills otherwise," Doni said firmly.
Prita and Dinda smiled cynically. Likewise Mother Sania who no longer knows how to advise Doni.
Mother Sania looked at Sabrina who was still sleeping with a sad look.
"Sabrina, I don't know whether you are a gift or a disaster for Doni, my son...." Sania muttered in her heart.
Doni was unable to hold back his tears seeing the sad face of Mother Sania.

Sania invites Fani to come to her office. In honor of Mother Sania's invitation, Fani also came to her office.
"Assalamualaikum," said Fani when she entered the luxurious room of Mother Sania.
Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Sania, inviting fans to sit down.
"Mother wants to talk about something, Fani," said Sania smiling.
Not long after, Renny, Mama Fani came. Fani was surprised by her mother's arrival at Sania's office.
"Oh, Mama why are you here?" asked Fani. Renny just smiled at his daughter without saying a word.
"Actually, Fani, your mother and mother have discussed a little about your matchmaking," explained Sania.
"Marriage?"
"What do you mean, Mother?" asked Fani.
Fans are now confused. What's really going on? What is the arranged marriage between Mother Sania and her mother?
"Fani, as Mother has often alluded to you, Mother wants to match you and Doni," said Sania firmly.
Fans were also wide-eyed.
"Sorry, Mother, it's not that I'm presumptuous, but...." Fani stammered.
"How can I and Doni get married, Bun? While Doni is married and his wife is my best friend," said Fani holding back tears.
"So what if you two are friends?" Sania said as if she didn't think about Doni, Sabrina and Fani's feelings.
"Astaghfirullahaladzhim."
Fani stood up, followed by her mother.
"But that's impossible, Mother. It's impossible for me to marry my best friend's husband. And you know, Sabrina is currently lying in a coma. I don't want to be seen as a cruel woman," said Fani sobbing.
"If later she comes to her senses and sees all this, I don't want to be thought of as a woman who ruined their household," said Fani.
"Mother understands your feelings very well. You don't want to be someone who ruins other people's households. However, I assure you. That will never happen. Why? Because everyone already knows that Doni already has a wife who is in a coma ," said Sania, who continued to persuade Fani to become her daughter-in-law.
"Sabrina is sick and sorry if you talk like this, Sabrina as a wife has no function anymore. She only depends on living with tools, Fani," continued Sania.
"Don't you feel sorry for Doni? Doni who should be a widower and have to live a life like this, with a wife who doesn't work anymore."
"But Doni doesn't love me, Mother," said Fani.
"Fani, you already have the basics. You already love each other because you have been friends since childhood. Love can learn, honey," Sania assured Fani.
"You don't have to worry about Doni. Of course Doni agrees to marry you," said Sania excitedly.
"Astaghfirullah."
Fani continues to pray. He didn't know what to say, especially because his Mama and Sania's urges continued to squeeze him and corner him. Fani now can only cry.
"But how can you be so sure?" said Fani who was a bit away from Mother Sania and her mother.
"No woman can replace Sabrina's position in Doni's heart. Doni loves Sabrina very much and Doni can't replace Sabrina with me, Mother," said Fabi in tears. Her tears continued to flow.
"You don't need to take Sabrina's place. All you need to do is share a place with Sabrina. Because by birth, Sabrina doesn't work anymore," Sania coaxed.
Sania's mother and Renny's mother kept pushing her and made Fani even more cornered and didn't know what decision to make. His heart is restless.
"Astaghfirullahaladzhim."
"Mother, what is the meaning of all this. I-yes...." Fani stammered.
"You still don't understand?" said Sania.
"Mother wants you to be Doni's wife. Be his second wife," said Sania firmly.
"Astaghfirullahaladzhim."
"So you want me to marry my best friend's husband and I have to be polygamous, Mom?" said Fani crying.
"Why?"
"That's justified. It's allowed in religion," said Sania vehemently.
"Fani, the important thing is that Doni can be fair. Isn't that right?* Sania said.
Fani wipes her tears.
"So you mean Mother?" asked Fani again.
"Fani, so Mother's intention is ... marry Doni," said Mother Sania.
Fani was crying again. This is the toughest choice in his life. What would Sabrina say if she found out that her own best friend had married her husband while he was lying in a coma.
"Be his wife. We all approve ...." Sania coaxed Fani to embrace her deeply.
Fani wiped her tears again.
"I'm sorry, Mother. I can't marry a man I don't love. Frankly, this all feels impromptu to me, Mother. I can't possibly marry Doni," replied Fani shaking her head. Doni is also not in love with me. Impossible. It's impossible...." Fani said quietly. Her eyes were glazed, her tears were falling harder.
"Fani, as Mother said. You already have a basis. You have been friends since childhood. You know, Doni is a very responsible man, Fani," said Sania convincing Fani to follow all her wishes.
"How are you, honey?"
"Marry Doni...."
Fani wipes her tears
"Excuse me, Mother, can you give me some time?" said Fani.
"Yes, Mother understands."
"May I speak to my Mama?"
"Yes please."
Sania also left Fani and Renny alone. Only talking face to face.
"Mom, are you sure about all this, Mom?" Fani sobbed.
"Mom is very sure."
"Mama has thought of everything. This is the best for you, Fani," said Mama Renny.
"Isn't marriage perfect for worship, son? Think about it," whispered Renny.
"Astaghfirullahaladzhiim. How can I marry a man who is my best friend's husband?" mumbled Fani in her heart.
Fani sobbed, her heart was giddy....
