Childhood Match
Searching for Truth
There were footsteps coming into the room. The latitude that was about to reach Gabby's phone was stopped when he saw his wife was already at the door and said, saying,
"Darling, I came back because my phone was missing" Gabby said as she walked up to her phone.
"That's..take it!" lintang replied a little disappointed. He just wanted to find out who the man who called his wife was.
"Yes, I'm leaving now, baby..it's too late." said Gabby then passed away after getting her phone.
"Uuuhhh... Who's the guy who called Gabby? I've never seen it." The sky started to panic.
Out of curiosity, Lintang secretly tries to follow Gabby after she exits her luxury apartment. Using his car, Lintang follows Gabby at a distance that is not too close because Gabby is worried to see him. After a few minutes of walking, arrive at a fork in the road. From a distance, Lintang saw Gabby's car turn to the left, but the direction to the hospital should have turned to the right. The latitude gets more curious and keeps following Gabby's car.
While in a hurry to follow Gabby's car, it turns out Lintang is stuck in a red light in the middle of the city of Denpasar. The latitude lost track of Gabby.
"Bbaaaahhh..." Lintang hit the strir of his car.
"Where did Gabby actually go? He said there was an operation at the hospital. Obviously this is not the way to the hospital!" Latitude upset.
He immediately turned back to return to the apartment because he remembered that the baby Sanchi he lived alone in the apartment.
"If Sanchi had taken care of anything, I would have chased Gabby's car until I got it!" he said on his way home. He is still looking for a way, how he can find out the identity of the mysterious caller.

The next night, Lintang put the baby Sanchi to sleep. He saw the clock attached to the wall of his room already showed at 21:00 WITA, but Gabby had not yet returned home. Where the woman actually went. He was called many times but his phone was not active.
"Ting. tong.." bell rang.
Soon Lintang walked over to open the door and make sure that Gabby was there and it was true.
"Where have you been, at this hour just got home? Your phone is also inactive. You don't pity Sanchi? From earlier his cry ran out in the refrigerator." Lintang question interrogated.
"Honey, sorry this afternoon there was a sudden operation. When it comes to breast milk, in the kitchen there is still formula milk. I pumped again if I wasn't tired. I take a shower, baby." replied Gabby without feeling any guilt.
After removing her makeup using micellar water, Gabby took a towel and went to the bathroom. When Gabby took a shower, Lintang had the opportunity to miss Gabby's phone, because Lintang memorized Gabby can usually spend an hour more while bathing. Lintang began to launch the action when his wife was already in the bathroom.
"Ohhhh. apparently all conversations and calls have been deleted yes!" latitude said when in the phone Gabby did not find a single conversation and call from a man named "Kak Bara". Soon she puts Gabby's phone back in her bag before she gets caught.
An hour later Gabby came out of the bathroom. Since the two had already eaten dinner, they decided to take a break. Before closing his eyes, Lintang finally began to open a conversation to answer his curiosity.
"Darling... Who's that bara?" tanya Latitude.
Gabby was surprised to hear the words Lintang. In his heart he asked, where did the origin of Lintang can ask about Bara.
"Oh.. that's.he... eemm..he's my cousin..yes my cousin's sister." Gabby answered nervously as if she was hiding something.
"Sister? How did you never tell me you had a cousin? I've never seen him either." asked Lintang.
"Eemm.yeah, because he just came from Paris because he just finished college. Anyway, what the hell are you asking about him? Darling knows where she's from?" Gabby asked back.
"Yesterday morning when your phone missed, he called. Just want me to lift who knows it's important, ehhh. it turns out to be dead." replied Lintang.
"Duhhh. I was almost caught. Good thing I was carelessly aware that my phone missed, if not??? " bathin Gabby.
"Are you talking honestly?" Lintang still doubted his wife's answer.
"Well, honey, I might lie to you. I'm sleeping, I'm so sleepy, baby. Tomorrow we leave early." Gabby tried to divert the conversation by turning her back to Lintang and pretending to close her eyes.
The man was still not satisfied with his wife's answer. But not tonight. He's gonna keep figuring out who the real man named Bara is.

Three days later in a luxury apartment.
That morning around 10:00 WITA. Lintang was enjoying a cup of coffee while reading the newspaper on the balcony behind his apartment. Today he got night duty, so that his day can take advantage of time to relax. While sitting on a balcony filled with many ornamental plants, his wishful thinking back to look.
Suddenly he missed the beloved garden behind the balcony of his house. There Lintang always get calm and shade while staring at the beautiful scenery from above the height of Sumbing Peak. Does God still give him a chance to see it all again? Or should he bury all those memories deeply.
Lintang remembered his family, his mother, father, and his only sister. They used to be very affectionate and considerate of Lintang, before finally severing ties with him because of his own actions. And, another one that sneaks into the memories of Latitude, namely... Gendhis. The village girl he once loved then he ignored after he was entangled by the love of dr. Gabby's.
"Ahhh. Why did I think of Gendhis anyway?" The latitude speaks for itself.
When Lintang drifted in his daydream, he was surprised to hear a voice calling his name.
"Master... Mr..mistress Mr...tang...!" suddenly, Si Embak was already standing beside his seat.
"What's wrong, Mommy? Why gawat?" tanya Latitude.
"Non Sanchi, sir... Lusty!" said Si Embak.
"Yes, Sanchi why? If you speak clearly dong Mbak!" Lintang followed frantically hearing the name of his daughter called.
"Non Sanchi. From that moment on, I did not want to stop. I love milk also does not want to." said Si Embak.
"What's? Sanchi hot?" immediately Lintang put the cup containing coffee on the table and ran to Sanchi's room. She held her little daughter who was still crying. After being in his arms, the little baby seemed to know, who really loved him. Understandably, all this time he had less attention from his mother. The crying stopped, but the hot temperature in the baby Sanchi was really worrisome.
"Mbak. We're going to the hospital right now!" latitude Command on Si Embak.
"Good, Master!" si Embak replied and immediately he put all the needs of Sanchi into the bag.
With his car, Lintang took baby Sanchi to the hospital. He went straight to the poly kid and didn't see Gabby first. Besides free too, at most he prioritizes his duties than his son. Later after checking Sanchi, then he will meet Gabby in the womb.
A middle-aged female doctor patiently examined Sanchi. After the examination, the doctor sat back in his chair.
"Where is my son Doc? Is she okay?" tanya Lintang worried.
"Mr doesn't have to worry about anything. This kind of situation often occurs in children. Your daughter has a fever. I'll give you a safe prescription for your daughter, and make sure the acid is not too late, so that her immunity improves soon!" ask the doctor while offering a paper containing prescription drugs that must be redeemed at the pharmacy.
"Well, Doc.." replied Lintang. What can he say, because indeed his wife does not want to give her asi like a mother giving breast milk to her baby.
The latitude came out from the examination room with a body slightly jaded from thinking about Sanchi's condition.
"Mbak. bring Sanchi to the car first. I'm gonna take some medicine and see Gabby for a second. I will be followed. Here's the car keys!" Lintang gave me the car keys.
"Well, sir." replied Si Embak while holding the sleeping baby Sanchi.
After redeeming the medicine at the pharmacy, Lintang walked towards Gabby's check room. He didn't find Gabby there. Lintangnya decided to ask the nurse who was guarding the room Gabby.
"Suster. Gabby's there?" tanya Latitude.
"I'm sorry, sir. for the examination please come in an hour because dr. Gabby's resting." replied the nurse.
"Not to check. I'm Lintang, her husband!" reply Lintang.
"Oh.. I'm sorry, sir. I don't know if you are dr. Gabby." said the nurse.
"No papa, Sus! Now dr. Where is gabby?" Latitude asked.
"drs. Gabby is in dr's room. Bara." the nurse's answer surprised Lintang. He remembers a few days ago from Gabby's phone that she called the same name... Embers.
"drs. A tar?" ask the latitude of the sisters.
"Yes, Mr. dr. Bara is the director and owner of this hospital. Go up to the second floor and walk straight down the hallway. Later until the end of the hall you turn left. There is the room of dr. Embers. Do I need to take you with me, sir?" the nurse kindly explained.
"Oh, don't do it, Sus. Thanks!" reply Lintang.
"Well, sir...!" answer sister.
With curiosity and excitement, Lintang immediately walked to the place that had been instructed by the nurse earlier. He hopes to get an answer to the question that has haunted him in recent days about who is the man named Bara and what is his relationship with his wife. Is it true that Gabby said the man was her cousin? Or is there something Gabby's hiding from her?
