A Couple of Ex
58. Meet Alan.

Arrive at the main door.

"Please stop for a minute" Stella said.

Stella comes close to Kevin's ear, "all will be well, just assume you're asleep, and wake up in good health, remember mommy always loves you." 

Kevin blinked his eyelids, a kiss Stella gave to encourage Kevin, and reassured him that everything would be fine.

"Doctor, if you want, you can come with us inside, and watch live,"

Stella shook her head, "no thank you, today is my day off, let me wait outside like the rest of the patient's family." Stella looked at some of the people who were also in the waiting room.

"All right, we'll go in first doc." 

Stella nodded and waved at Kevin.

Stella chose to be at the end of the hallway, she remembered 14 years ago, in the same hospital with different conditions, said the little Andre who was then, Stella no longer wants to remember him, let it be a lesson for her and Alex, a process that finally matures her at this time.

Just a few minutes waiting, Stella began to fidget, it turned out this was like waiting in front of the operating room, even though Kevin was only a mild surgery, what about his patients, who sometimes their families wait 12 hours, or sometimes they have to swallow the bitter news of suffering he brought from the operating room.

Stella took her breath slowly.

Should he come to his brother Richard, so that he is allowed to return to Indonesia, so that he is no longer far from his son, as a mother, he did not have the heart if he had to leave his children, he also did not have to leave his children, once he did, and he regretted his decision at that time, if he had stayed by Alex's side, would the man have realized his love, or would he have been the only one to endure the grief?.

Sadness because love is unrequited.

Alex, who had just completed the administrative process, now came to him with Andre.

Suddenly Andre ran to hug him, he sobbed slowly, Stella just rubbed his back So that Andre felt calm, "mom .. Will Kevin be okay?" He looked up and expressed his unease.

Stella smiled, "yes .. Kevin will be fine." 

"Thank God, I was so scared mom, she couldn't move at all, I was afraid what happened to her, I didn't want to be lonely anymore." 

"Don't love, mommy make sure, your brother's gonna be okay." Stella calms Andre down in her arms, her net is staring at Alex who is talking to one of the patient's families waiting in the operating room, it seems like Alex knows the woman closely, who is she?. 

Before long Alex came to him and Andre, the man held out a bottle of mineral water that he had held in his hand, "drink, you must be tired, since you have not rested." 

Stella receives the mineral water and drinks it, because Alex has opened the bottle cap. "Thank you brother," it's true Alex said, he had not even had time to sit quietly, because he hurriedly ran to the hospital because Kevin had to get help immediately.

"Did you know that woman?" Ask Stella.

"Yes, she's Miss Elena Sebastian, she's the youngest daughter of HS Group Construction owner Aaron Sebastian, remember Om Aaron?"

Stella shook her head, "om Aaron is also a friend of Kenzo's father, he is the owner of a construction company that has a big role in the construction process of William Medical Center." Alex explains.

"That's her future husband, an accident at the construction site." 

"Sit down dad," Andre took Alex to sit by his side, then he looked at his parents alternately, his face beaming happily.

"Why?" Alex asked who saw Andre smiling to himself.

Andre smiled broadly, "I'm happy, because this is the first time I've sat between mom and dad." A simple speech that broke Alex and Stella's heart.

The two were unable to say a word, only able to look at each other, while Andre hugged Alex's arm tightly, but his hand held on to Stella.

For a while Alex and Stella stared at each other wordlessly, there was a longing vibe in the hearts of the two, pounding, yet Stella still put up a wall to protect her heart and feelings.

Until a while later, Stella cut off eye contact between them, because her heart was starting to not be okay, it turns out Alex also felt the same way, too, right now the pounding of his heart is even more crazy than a week ago on the last day they met, they are like the first time they fell in love.

The silence was broken, as their attention turned to the main door of the operating room, someone they knew very well, the doctor seemed to talk for a moment explaining the patient's condition, and the patient was very happy, he was surprised to see their presence there, but the shock lasted only a moment, he walked over to Stella and Alex.

"How's Doctor Stella doing?" His greeting.

Well, he was Alan's doctor, Stella's ex-lover and Alex's best friend during Senior High school. 

"Good news doctor Alan," Stella stood up to greet Alan's hand, she smiled for a moment, making Alex who was also there feel uncomfortable, Alex also stood up.

"How are you Lan?" Alex greeted him first.

"Good Lex." Answer Alan.

Alan and Alex, best friends during junior and senior High School, a pleasant friendship in those days, until they separated because each continued their studies in a different field, they meet again when Alex tells Alan that he was betrothed to Stella, when Alan was angry, but he was unable to fight, because he was not the current Alan, but he was not, Doctors are very calculated because they have high flying hours in the operating room.

Alan and Stella let go of their relationship that had just begun.

"Who's sick" Alan asked the two.

"Kevin." Alex and Stella answered.

Alan nodded, "and this one must be Andre, Wah is big now," Alan greeted Andre who had been a spectator since then. "Hi, you still know me? Ah I forgot, it used to be a year old right?" Alan asked Stella without any awkwardness.

Stella smiled and nodded, Alex, who saw the interaction, was getting more agitated, he clenched his hands, feeling more and more arrogant while Alan and Stella were seen chatting familiarly.

Before long Alan was saying goodbye, because he had to attend an outpatient practice schedule.

Alex stares at his best friend's back until he disappears behind a wall, Alan is Alex's only friend, it's unthinkable how Alan used to feel when he asked her for permission to marry Stella, at that time Alex could not refuse his matchmaking with Stella, like there was a happy chance when he heard the wishes of his parents, to make him reflexively nod in agreement.

And until now Alan is not married, is he still expecting Stella??
