LET ME BE HAPPY
chapter 49

Adinda POV

"Doctor Ivan. Why would he come here?" my inner.

I didn't expect, the guest I meant was Doctor Ivan. Why would he come to this house just to look for me? Don't-don't .. ah already, why be ge-er gini anyway.

I sat myself down next to the oma after first greeting Dr. Ivan. For some reason throughout the conversation, Doctor Ivan often stole a glance at me. Or it could be that this is just my feeling because of the words of oma who said that she had come this time to see me.

Long enough doctor Ivan was in this house, until dinner he was still here because the oma asked for it. Oma, oma, there must be some veiled intention behind that oma smile.

Father and opa did not join the dinner because after Maghrib they went to attend the invitation to a banquet of one of the business colleagues who was celebrating his wedding anniversary.

After dinner, oma pleaded with herself to go to her room for a while. I was alone with Doctor Ivan in the living room. I don't know why the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

I took a breath and exhaled slowly. Being in a room with a man makes me feel uncomfortable. I wanted to avoid it, but I was afraid of being impolite.

"Ehem." I looked towards the doctor Ivan who was clearing his throat. Maybe he wants to say something.

"I'm sorry if I had to save your phone number without your permission first." I cringe, what does that mean?

"I called you this afternoon. I also sent that unimportant message. Sorry, if my language style seems stiff. I haven't interacted with the opposite sex in personal matters in a long time" he admitted.

Oh, so he's the guy who called me this afternoon. Why I still don't understand what that means. Ah, why is my brain loading this gini anyway.

"May I ask you something?" tanyakanya.

"Oh, of course I can. Please, Doc," I replied.

"Can't you, don't call me doctor?" What kind of question is that.

"Well, you're a doctor" as I was.

"Yes, but it's out of business hours" he explained.

"Oh, that's it." I was just a beard as if I understood what he meant. But the original is not.

"Call what matters not om. Brother maybe," she asked, which made me less and less understand what she meant.

When viewed from his appearance, he is perfect. Yes, the next time I want to call him om, that's right. Uh, but what age is he? No, I was curious. Which one more? Really long.

"Hehe." I just laughed to hide my incomprehension.

"Oh yeah, almost forgot. When I was a kid, did you like to go to the lake?" tanyakanya.

"Like, but rarely," I replied. Why did he ask about the lake? Does he want to ask me out? Waduh, the brain thinks what the hell.

"Why?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, because I'm in school and you also have to work, so wait for time off together first" I replied. Uh, why wear 'me', yes, by the way, it should be 'me'.

"Oh, that. So which one is your mother now? I never saw him" he asked.

"Mother is calm in nature there," I replied wistfully. I became a mother kangen. Since I have never been here, I have made a pilgrimage to the grave of the mother again.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad" she said.

"Yes, it's okay, Doc." I saw him turn his face and exhale violently. Is there something wrong with what I just said?

"Hehe, sorry." What happened to the call of brother? That's really big-time.

"Oh yeah, um Fathan is your dad right?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, Brother. Fathan's father was my real father" I replied.

"Don't you ever tell me that your father's dead?" tanyakanya.

I frowned in wonder. Back then? When first? As I recall, the first time I met Doctor Ivan was in the hospital a few days ago. I never talked about my father being declared dead before I knew that my father was alive.

"When did I ever tell you my dad was dead? Indeed, it was me and my mother did not know that my father was still alive. Then, do you know where you are from? Because as I recall, we just met recently, "my boyfriend.

"Then, exactly fifteen years ago. We met at a lake in town A. I was screaming to call someone's name. You suddenly appear out of nowhere, "he explained.

I frowned, trying to think hard about what happened fifteen years ago, but still I couldn't remember what happened.

"Maybe you've forgotten about it because it's been too long. However, I still remember it very clearly. That's why, when we met again, I was very sure that you were the little girl I had met at the time" he explained.

"Oh." I was just angry, because I didn't know what to answer.

"Oh yeah, one more. I never saw your husband. Does he work out of town?" tanyakanya.

"I don't have a husband, brother," I replied.

"What are you-"

"I was separated before I knew that there was another life in here" I cut quickly as I stroked the still flat belly.

"Oh, sorry. So, you're now single?" tanyanya slow. Maybe he was afraid that the question would offend me.

"Yes, that is," I replied as I reached for a glass of orange juice to wet my dry throat.

"May I run for priest and father for your son?" I choked with shock at the question that Doctor Ivan asked me. Does this mean he proposed to me?

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you" she said.

I just nodded in response. Doctor Ivan looked at me with a worried look on his face.

"I'm serious about what I just told you. I admit, I fell in love with you when we met for the first time. You are the one who has restored my spirit. However, at that time you were still a little girl who deserved to be called a sister, so I only dared to keep that feeling in the hope that we could meet again in the future."

"I won't force it if you don't want it. However, never ask me to stop wishing before you find the right person" he said.

"In that case, I beg you to say goodbye," he added.

"In the meantime, I call my oma first," I said.

I immediately headed to the oma room. I knocked on the door of Oma's room, but there was no answer. I turned the unlocked door handle and opened it. I exhaled a long breath. Oma did not return to the living room. I guess oma is asleep. I closed the door slowly. Then went back to see Dr. Ivan who was still in the living room.

"Sorry, Brother. It turns out that oma is asleep," I said.

"Yes, it's okay. Give my greetings to him," he said.

I took Ivan's doctor's departure to the terrace. Doctor Ivan went to his car after greeting first. After the car was no longer visible from sight, I rushed back inside.

"Aakkkhh." I screamed in shock when the person behind the door surprised me.
