There is no meaningful conversation between Nando and Sofia in the car that takes them to the largest government hospital in the area that is Sofia's workplace as well. Actually, they could meet Edward later in the afternoon when the best ophthalmologist was practicing at the hospital owned by the Hutama family, but Elle's enthusiastic attitude to be examined immediately and declared normal makes Sofia not have the heart to let little hope anxiously waiting for her to come home to take a check later in the afternoon. Surely the boy complained a lot and inconvenienced Maria who would be busy persuading him.
Look now, the little one who looks beautiful with a pink bando and a dress of similar colors is cheerfully singing and chattering merrily along the way. Alex who drove seemed to smile at the singing of Elle that sometimes wrong lyrics, as well as Sofia who was very anxious because it had to justify the lyrics several times. His little laugh broke with Elle's funny babble. And Nando? the man did not want to bother with the behavior of the child's mother beside him. He busied himself checking some of the messages that entered his phone.
"Please sir.we have arrived." Alex who had opened the door made the three surprised because they did not expect to have arrived at the hospital. Apparently they are too busy with their respective activities until they are not aware if they have arrived.
Nando went down first, followed by Elle who then wrestled in his papa arms. Sofia also follows down through another door without waiting for Alex to open the door for her.
" Are you sure you're coming in?"
"hmm." Sofia let out a long sigh and began to walk into a special corridor for medical personnel to go to the eye-specific cocoon at the right end. Several times they passed by the nurses and the doctors. Many times Sofia and Elle return their greetings or just smile kindly. Nando just stared coldly at them as usual until Sofia repeatedly reached out her hand to be friendly to others. But it seems all of that was in vain. The man still had his mainstay flat face. Are all men from the upper classes always like that?
"Good morning doctor." Greet physician Edward's assistant who was already standing on the doorstep. He knew that doctors Edward and Sofia had made an appointment because according to the patient list, Elle was Edward's first patient that morning.
"Morning is also doc. Doctor Edward is there?"
"Yes there. You've been waiting inside."
"Thank you. Come mas!" take Sofia with you and go in there first with Elle.
" Morning doc...."
"owhh doctor Sofia, let's go in. Hmmm there's a young master too apparently. Please sir." said doctor Edward kindly. Nando followed his wife sitting on the patient bench. Edward who knows if Fernando is a busy man and perfectionist immediately carry out his duties to examine Elle without being asked to know many words.
"How's doc?"
"I think Elle can be said to be back to normal even though not a hundred percent. I'll write a new recipe for him. He doesn't need control unless there's a complaint" Edward explained, writing the recipe. He didn't want to talk like with other patients. Almost ten years working in the hospital of the Hutama family made him memorize the attitude and nature of the young master of the family.
"Am I allowed to go to doctor's school?" elle's small voice interrupted. Edward lifted his head for a moment and smiled kindly.
"The little miss is already very missed the school atmosphere huh? of course you can, but you can't be too tired..."
"good. Thanks to the doctor." The excited Elle immediately came down and hugged Sofia making Edward's smile even wider. After the prescription was received, they immediately bid farewell.
"Mama...can I come with mama after work? I'm bored at home." he lamented. But the truth is, Elle is very interested in the atmosphere of a busy hospital because many people pass by and a sense of pride in the mama continued who is always friendly and respected by many people. The little girl was also amazed by her mother. After all, a doctor is still a proud profession and an idol of children his age. What he has in mind now is to immediately go to school so he can tell his friends if his mother is a beautiful and friendly doctor.
Sofia looked at Nando without a sound. But the man continued to walk quietly beside her, expressionless.
"Buck...."
"But pa, I..."
"Ell, listen to papa. Hospitals are where people get sick. Papa won't let you here because this place doesn't deserve you."
"pa.." whining Elle was about to cry. Seeing that Sofia immediately crouched down in front of him.
"El, papa's right. Hospitals are not the right place for healthy kids like you. My mom will work, not play. You have to help others too, right? El smart boy, wait for mama at home.then mama promised to accompany Elle to sleep tonight." comfort Sofia. The eyes that were originally covered in mist immediately sparkled happily.
"Promise me ma...."
"Sophy!" nando jolted before the mother and child frowned. The woman turned to him. The face in front of him looked very cold with the jaw hardened.
"Mama will accompany you to El's nap, not all night." she broke up again. They both can't do anything.
"Go home before El takes a nap!" his orders were guiltless as if Sofia was his subordinate in an office that could be ruled at will.
"But I have to do my duty. Shiftku until the afternoon. How can I ....mass!!!!" sofia shouted loudly as Nando left them with wide steps towards the lobby. The man immediately approached Alex and gave a short order. The handsome secretary passed away before Sofia and Elle got near them.
"Let's go home El, later mama will come home to accompany you to take a nap." Sofia was still digesting her husband's words, but the man had already extended his hand which Sofia inevitably greeted and kissed her gently.
"Asalamualaikum." said Nando while walking away with Elle who jumped up and down beside him.
"Walaikumsalam." murmured Sofia softly, answering the greetings of the husband who had gone away.
"Good morning, madam."
"Ehh.the secretary Alex. You surprised me." Right, almost Sofia hangs because Alex is suddenly standing behind her. The secretary always makes a surprise at the wrong time.
"I'm sorry madam. It's your license this afternoon" Alex said, handing him the official letter. Sofia accepted it with a astonished face.
"I? a permit? what's that supposed?"
"Master told you to go home later after the afternoon break. There will be an office driver to pick you up. Excuse me madam." Alex passed by without waiting for the mistress' permission. He knew the employer was waiting for him in the car and he had to rush there.
"Based on a forced husband." sighed Sofia frustrated.
