Heart of a Handsome Doctor
Chaptre 35. Make Peace with the Past
Patrick invites Donald to sit at the dinner table. Tonight he'll cook a simple dinner for her and Donald.
Donald watched his eldest grandson who was cooking groceries. He longed for a time when he could be with his grandchildren.
"Please, Cake. I'm not very good at cooking. I can only cook pasta." Patrick lays one plate of pasta for Donald and another for him.
"Being away from home makes you independent and good at cooking, son." said Donald.
"That's it, Cake."
Two different men of this generation ate their dinner in silence. Sometimes Donald glanced at Patrick who had just been silent.
"Julian, what's your job now, son?"
Patrick remained silent. "What did Roy tell you about where I live?"
"really. Your sister told grandpa. You were very compact and always together. I hope you'll always get along with your sister."
"I'm playing stock, Cake. That's all I can do to survive" Patrick said.
Donald nodded in understanding. "I think you'd be happier living here."
After a light conversation, Donald resigned to retreat to coincide with Kenzo's arrival to the apartment.
"Mr Donald?" greet Kenzo.
"Kenzo? So you live with Julian?" donald asked who was answered nodding by Kenzo.
Kenzo saluted as Donald started to walk away. He then approached Patrick who was cleaning up his old dirty dishes.
"Pat, so you've made peace with your family?" ask Kenzo.
"Eitherway. I haven't thought that far."
"It's good that you make peace with your past. It's no use if you keep hiding."
Patrick did not answer and just glared away.
"I really want to make peace with everything. All the pain I've ever wanted to forget." Patrick's mind.
Meanwhile, Belinda tried to get shut down after laying her body on the bed. The memory of what happened a few hours ago still lingered in his mind. And it seemed that was what made him unable to close his eyes.
Belinda flinched when Roy thrust a ring box in front of her.
"What's this?" tanyakanya.
"I know it might be too soon, but I think we can start over, Bels. Me, you and Boy. I want to get to know you more closely." said Roy.
"But ... Why should it be with a ring?"
"It's just a gift for you. Please accept!" pinta Roy's.
"But..."
"Please give me a chance, Bels."
Belinda breathed her. "You don't know what I've been through for years. The pain and suffering of what I never expected."
"I knew. I'm suffering too, Bels. And just so you know, I seem to have got the punishment for what I've done to you."
Belinda.
"Please, try! We'll both learn to forget the past and start a new beginning."
Belinda took a breath and exhaled it violently. He has not given any answer to what Roy said after dinner. He looked at the ring box he had placed on the nightstand.
"What should I do if I see him tomorrow?" Belinda monologued and then tried to close her eyes.
......***......
The sound of the apartment bell interrupted Roy who had just finished bathing. He snorted in annoyance because it was still early morning and there were already people visiting his place.
"Who's coming at this hour?" Roy put on his shirt and pants before opening the door.
Roy frowned as soon as he knew who was visiting his house.
"Morning, honey." said a woman who was none other than Zara.
"Zara's? What are you doing here so early?"
"Of course I want to see you, Roy."
Without any hesitation, Zara went straight in and sat on the living room sofa.
"I want to have breakfast with you, Roy" said the spoiled Zara.
"Eh?"
"Prepare first. I'll wait for you here."
Without answering Roy returned to the room and prepared to tidy up. After wearing his formal clothes, Roy exits the room and meets Zara who smiles sweetly at him.
Zara approached Roy. "I came here because I wanted to apologize for my attitude towards you. I was completely out of control at the time."
Roy turned his face.
"I know you must be disappointed in me. But I'm gonna fix everything. We've been together a long time, Roy. There are certainly a lot of things we have been through together. Can we fix it?" Zara pleaded with condense eyes.
"alright. I've forgiven you. So..."
"That's it. We should leave soon. Didn't you say you wanted to have breakfast with me?" Roy took off Zara's hand that was coiled around her neck.
"Yes, Roy. Let's go!" Zara put her hand around Roy's left arm.
They walked alone with Zara who continued to develop her smile. Arriving in front of the elevator, they immediately entered and pressed the basement button.
On the 17th floor, the elevator stopped. The elevator door opened revealing the figure of a beautiful woman standing in front of the elevator door. The woman shook her head because she saw Roy and Zara inside.
The gaze of Roy and the woman who was none other than Belinda had clashed. There were many questions implied from Belinda's gaze.
"Miss, why shut up? Don't you want to come in?" ask Zara to Belinda.
"Eh? Umm, I'll take the next elevator. Looks like there's something left behind." Belinda pressed the close button.
Slowly the elevator door began to close with the gaze of Roy and Belinda who were still clashing. After the elevator doors closed and the elevator moved again, Belinda leaned her body against the wall.
Somehow his chest was tight to see Roy and Zara together. Belinda shook her head. He wanted to shake off all the sudden flavors that were raging in his heart.
"Didn't he just say last night he wanted to start a new chapter with me. Why now...?"
"Bels.." a voice brought Belinda back to the real world.
"Patrick?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Eh? I'm..." Belinda was confused as to what to answer.
"You want to go to the boutique, don't you?"
"Ah, i-yes."
"Then let me take you."
Belinda nodded and went into the elevator with Patrick.
......***......
Belinda can't focus on working today. The shadow of Roy and Zara together again danced in his mind. Belinda rubbed her face.
"No! I can't think about him. He can't be mine anyway." Belinda shook her head quickly.

That night, Belinda waited for Roy to return to the apartment. Belinda walked quietly in front of Roy's apartment.
"Why hasn't he come home yet? Did I just leave it at the door?" mumbling Belinda.
After thinking for a moment, Belinda decided to return Roy's ring box.
"But it would be impolite if I just left it at the door." Belinda took the box back and took it away.
Arriving in front of the elevator, accidentally the elevator door opened and revealed the figure of Roy who would come out of the elevator.
"Hisband?" greet Roy.
"Doctor Roy, can we talk?"
"Oh, let's go to my room." take Roy.
"Umm, let's just talk here."
reply Belinda.
Roy doesn't mind.
"I want to give this back!" Belinda handed Roy the ring box.
"But why, Bels?"
"I'm sorry, I don't think I can take it. I ... have forgiven you. I made peace with my past. But I can't accept you in my present life. You take it easy, I'm not going to forbid you from meeting with Boy. I can't separate father and son. Thank you for everything you've done for me and Boy. Excuse me..."
Roy was only silent to see Belinda's departure by looking at the ring box in his hand.
