No one can truly part with the past.

On the hospital rooftop, the man stood leaning against the guardrail with a cup of coffee in his hand that he had not even drunk.

Felix was speechless with a glaring gaze toward the sky above him. After coming out of Agatha's room she headed straight here because she had been doing patient visits since this morning. Every now and then a breath could be heard from him so softly and sound tired.

Somehow he described his feelings now, so mixed up that he didn't know what to do. First, she was shocked by the news of Agatha's engagement, secondly she felt a little happy over the news, yet there was a hint of disappointment and sorrow that appeared in her heart. He knew there was no right for him to be sure of someone's feelings, but he knew full well the woman's feelings all along. He might as well hope that the woman would be happy but isn't this too soon? or even late?

Felix Arsen is a general practitioner at Senna Rod who specifically deals with disabled patients. It could be said that the world of disability is very close to his life. Felix was raised in an orphanage since childhood because he had been dumped by his parents, having no siblings other than his fellow siblings who were in the orphanage with him. And many of the brothers in his stead were disabled so Felix was used to communicating with them, acting with them and treating them like everyone else.

He was taught not to discriminate treatment just because of the differences they had. And since he was a child, he has cherished and cherished his brothers more than anything. One day there was a fire in the home where they lived which resulted in some of his little brothers being victims. And what he remembers most is that his two brothers who are deaf and speechless must be unsaved victims in the accident. He remembered that his brother did not get the right help because of their limitations in delivering complaints and doctors who did not understand their sign language so that the quick action that should be taken to save lives was precisely the case they are lost and make their lives go away.

He knew full well the pain of the loss, as he tried to translate what his two sick brothers said to paramedics and doctors but unfortunately they focused on helping other 'general' people' without limitation. Felix was thirteen years old at the time, he tried to speak but was not heard because at that time their mother was also seriously injured and many people lost focus during the chaos, The neglected Felix tried to seek help from the adults but unfortunately in the end when he managed to bring a medical officer, the lives of his two brothers were not helped.

Little Felix wept and blamed himself for not being able to do anything at that time, he who tried to convey, he who could not act quickly like adults and ended up losing his brother. From then on Felix was determined in his heart to become a doctor who provided quick help especially for people who were like his brother, with limitations.

Felix studied hard to realize his wishes, began to study desperately to get an educational scholarship that was quite lightening in order to be able to finance his education which was quite expensive. He did not want to burden the home where he lived.

At the home where she lives, the foster child with the age of seventeen is already released to choose whether she wants to stay in the home or live independently because their age is already legally legal. At that time Felix chose to stay there to help Madam Anna take care of other children and Felix began to look for work that fit the school schedule until finally Felix entered a famous university and choose a medical school as he wishes.

Until he knew Agatha ten years ago. The two were at the same university and met at a charity event. Agatha is one who can understand and accept her goals when many others underestimate her wishes. The girl was even very interested in her vision of mission. Because of this, Felix was encouraged to be more eager to pursue his goals.

And all that was not in vain because Felix could be what he is today. One of the most successful general practitioners handles many special patients with disabilities. The advantages of Felix who can use and understand sign language is his priority among other doctors so that it can be said he is really a specialist doctor with disabilities who handle quickly, precisely and perfectly. And she felt grateful that Agatha built this particular hospital.

Felix communicates using sign language from his patients as he gets used to it. A lot of people admired him and that made Felix feel proud to be able to achieve his goals. He never felt taller than anyone else, and his friendly nature made him even more likable.

Yet deep in the corner of his heart, there was a dissatisfied feeling, as if incomplete in his life.

Yes, it's incomplete.

He should not have grabbed all of this by himself, there should have been someone standing with him enjoying this success. Someone who is also the motivation and passion to continue to walk to achieve his goals so far. Someone who has been a part of his life and will forever be.

A cold gust of wind that hit his face made Felix return to reality. A bitter-looking smile fell on his lips.

You should be here.

With me.

I have fulfilled all our wishes.

Did you see him?

You saw him today too, right?

He's still the same as before.

It was just that today he came up with a bit of shocking news.

Felix smiled and his eyes then caught Agatha's figure who appeared to be in conversation with one of the speechless patients.

The woman smiled occasionally as she read the patient's language messages. Agatha began to learn sign language from the time she began to frequent the parlors where Felix lived and in particular Agatha learned sign language because of 'someone'.

'Someone' who became a magnet for women like Agatha, who even for a man like Felix the figure of Agatha was so distant and too impossible to approach. But it was because of this 'someone' that Felix knew Agatha, befriending this woman until now.

A special figure for Felix and Agatha, the one who was the reason both survived until now and continued to do what 'he' wanted. Even after seven years had passed his figure still left a real trace for them. It was as if he was here with them with all the things about him that had not changed at all.

Felix smiled, his bead still following the figure of Agatha who talked with one patient and other patients like a doctor who was visiting.

Patients here are no strangers to Agatha who often come, especially patients who have received long-term care. Some of the servants of the mansion where Felix grew up were also working here to help and they were quite familiar with Agatha.

Even madam Anna was very fond of Agatha for her kindness and concern for her foster children.

Felix turned his gaze in another direction just to sigh until his manic caught the figure of someone smiling at him down there, standing right in the corridor towards the hospital garden.

And also the happy gaze that the figure was aiming at Agatha who was standing ten meters away from him.

The same smile.

The same happy face.

Felix blinked his eyes just to make sure the figure was not his illusion, but before he even realized it had disappeared.

Why do you always smile like that?

Do you know I really miss you?

You're so mean to me Mikael.
