Look at me, my man!
Stranger

Bianca turned off her call. She was happy to have finished telling Selo, hoping that he would no longer bother her, no longer continuing to be confident that she would want to go back to him.

Bianca went back to check the patient's resume. Before long, Bianca's phone rang back. Bianca thought it was Selo, because Selo was never consistent with his words. If Selo said he would stay away from her, then the man was never really with his words, that was how Bianca thought.

Although Selo just said it would not bother him anymore, but Bianca knew it was just a joke because the fact is definitely tomorrow Selo will come to him again.

However, the phone next to Bianca kept ringing until Bianca saw it immediately. Bianca's eyes were rounded at the sight of the one who called her not Selo, but Adrian. As fast as lightning Bianca immediately raised her call. "Hello, Doc," said Bianca.

"Why didn't you pick up my call? Are you busy?" adrian asked bertubi.

"No, I'm not busy" Bianca replied quickly.

"Quickly, we have to train" Adrian said.

"Okay Doc, wait a minute" said Bianca. He got up straight from his seat then he tidied up his desk.

Then after that, she tied her hair and walked out of her room. On exiting, he immediately walked towards the operating room, where he would see Adrian operating.

***

Bianca came out of the operating room, she felt her whole body feel limp. It was always like this, he wanted to be a surgeon but when he saw the blood and when he saw Adrian operating, he was horrified.

"Doctor Bianca," called Adrian when Bianca came out of her room and she intended to go home, because her practice schedule was over.

"Are you done?" adrian asked, "What if we had a cup of coffee at the cafe?" take Adrian until Bianca seems to think and then nod. There's no harm either, especially when it's late afternoon.

***

Adrian and Bianca are out of the hospital. They went to the cafe in their own cars, until they finally arrived at the cafe they were headed. Adrian and Bianca went inside, so Bianca immediately chose a table close to the window, and they immediately walked towards the table.

"Is it heavy when you see what's going on in the operating room?" adrian asked when they had ordered the dishes in the cafe they came to.

Bianca shudders. "It's so heavy, it feels like I want to cancel taking my specialist degree, but it feels like it's too late," Bianca said again making Adrian chuckle.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it. I did too" said Adrian.

"If you may know, who was your senior when the doctor wasn't a surgeon?" ask Bianca.

"Hong Ji Hong," Adrian replied, "Hong Ji Hong, he's a Korean surgeon. It's hard to be his student, part of me having to use connections in order to be under his auspices."

Bianca nodded her head. "Doctors can be great, especially doctors Hong Ji Hong," Bianca said, giving Adrian a chuckle.

"She's retired, so you can't catch up with her" Adrian said as he looked at Bianca's face which seemed to say that Bianca was better off studying with Hong Ji Hong.

"Ah shit, you can read my mind," said Bianca until Adrian laughed.

Ten minutes later, their order arrived. Adrian and Bianca begin to enjoy the dishes they ordered while talking warmly, until soon Bianca's gaze was fixed on the door that had just opened, a figure she knew, namely Selo.

Bianca let out a breath. As it turned out, it was true that Selo only jokingly wanted to stay away from her, but look at the man still following her, that was how Bianca thought.

But actually not. Selo goes to the cafe intending to meet his friend. He wants to talk about his move to Belgium.

Yes, after this morning talking to Maria, Selo decided to go to Belgium, take care of the company there and the father was also accessing it.

Then now, Selo meets his friend because he wants to talk about work, and invites his friend to join the company in Belgium. Then unintentionally as Bianca looked at Selo, Selo also looked towards Bianca, but Selo's expression remained flat. He walks to look for a table away from Bianca's table making Bianca squeak.

"Cih, the selling base is very expensive," said Bianca.

"Well, who's selling expensive?" ask Adrian who said Bianca until realized.

"No no, I don't mean that" he replied.

Until finally, Bianca and Ardian left the cafe and they went home to each other.

***

Selo got off the car. The man lethargicly walked towards the mansion. Seeing Bianca and Ardian in the cafe, it was painful for Selo. Moreover, this may be the last time he saw the woman, because he did not know when he would return to Russia.

"Cell." Suddenly, Amelia's voice called out so Selo turned.

"Yes Mom" said Selo.

"Mommy wants to talk to you" said Amelia.

It seemed, Selo understood what his mother was going to say. Surely his mother would protest because she went to Belgium all of a sudden.

"What's Daddy really saying?" ask Amelia firmly. He did not want his son to leave again.

"The company there needs me, while here the company is already running. Now it's time to teach Maira to lead, while I will lead there" Selo said.

"Mommy knows it's not about you wanting to lead the company. Is this about Bianca?" she asked, "Did you give up on getting Bianca?"

Amelia tried not to let her son go.

"It's about Bianca. I went to Belgium to forget about it. I hope Mommy will accept my decision. I'm an adult, Mom, there's nothing to worry about. We can make a video call at any time" Selo said.

Looking at Selo's face, Amelia suddenly collapsed. She understood Selo's feelings until Amelia sat herself down next to the son, then carried Selo into her arms.

In the arms of her mother, Selo began to reflect back on what had happened in the past. About his mistakes with Bianca and with his family.

"I'm a bad man?" selo asked, "Do I not deserve to be loved?" ask again. He began to lose confidence when he heard Mary's words.

Amelia stroked Selo's back. "No Selo, everyone deserves a chance. If Bianca doesn't want to come back to you, maybe you're just brothers. Well, Mommy let you go. Live your day well there."

Selo nodded, then after that she let go of her embrace of Amelia and paid her respects to go to the room.

Selo entered the room with a hollow feeling. The man looked around him. She had been away from this room for many years because she lived in an apartment with Aghnia, and now she had to leave this room to live in Belgium, leaving behind her life, her love and also her hope.

Selo walked to the walk-in closet, then the man opened the drawer, then took the photos that were there were none other than his picture and the photo of Bianca when they were first close. They often take pictures in the photo box.

Selo looked at the photo with tears. Suddenly he remembered when he was first close to Bianca.

"Are you crazy? Why are you asking me out? We are, right, brothers," Bianca said as Selo expressed his feelings.

"We are, right, distant brothers" Selo said.

Actually at that time Bianca already liked Selo, only when Selo invited her to be a lover, Bianca felt doubtful. Of course because they are brothers. Selo's grandfather was Bianca's uncle.

"Come on Bi, there's no harm, right? We are not related to blood either. Not prohibited" said Selo.

"Do you want to convert?" ask Bianca.

"I want to" he answered.

"Let's hurry. You want to be my lover?" ask Selo again until Bianca nodded slowly, making Selo cheer and in the end Selo and Bianca's life was filled with beaming. They became lovers. No one knows their relationship.

They close their relationship and they just tell their families when they decide they want to get married. But unfortunately, a few months after marriage, Selo met a demon like Aghnia.

Selo's eyes glazed over as he recalled his past with Bianca which was filled with sweet memories, and it was his own fool who shattered those memories.

Selo kissed the photo and then got up from his seat, then after that took the suitcase and stored the photo in the suitcase he was going to carry. At least, the photo could be a cure for his longing for Bianca.

***

Finally, Selo finished storing the clothes into a suitcase. There are three suitcases that he will carry because he will take care of the rest there.

Selo reached into his pocket and fiddled with his phone. He deletes Bianca's number then she goes back to saving her phone. He went to the bathroom to refresh himself.

***

"Why is it in Brother's room?" selo asked as she came out of the bathroom, and she saw Maira was in her room.

"Sister, are you sure you want to go?" maira asked who made sure.

"Silver sure. Brother must take care of the company in Belgium" said Selo.

"Curtain, don't be a coward. Brother just wanted to get away from Bianca, didn't he?" ask Maira.

"You're right, it's time for Sister to let go of Bianca's shadow because she deserves to be happy with another man" Selo said.

Maira squeaks, lebay once. The girl immediately came out of Selo's room, making Selo shake his head.

***

"Help me!" Bianca screamed for help. He felt his body was helpless. Several times he felt pain because someone whipped his back, but Bianca did not know who it was.

"Help me, please. It hurts," said Bianca. This time he did not shout anymore because it felt like his strength had run out, and before long Bianca again shouted when her hair was pulled back.

Bianca woke up from her sleep. His entire body was flooded with cold sweat. Apparently Bianca just had a dream, a dream she thought was very bad.

Bianca tried to catch her breath. Somehow he felt that even though it was a dream, he felt his whole body ache so much. The woman looked towards the clock, it turned out that time showed at half-twelve o'clock in the evening.

Bianca looked towards the nightstand, then the woman gave a rough sigh when there was no drinking water. He got out of bed, and the woman decided to go out and get a drink.

As she was about to get out of the room, Bianca suddenly stopped her steps when she saw the balcony door open, so Bianca immediately walked towards the balcony to close the door. However, just as she had already closed the curtain and held the doorknob to close it, Bianca stopped her movements. He narrowed his eyes as he watched from a distance, a man standing in front of the car, looking towards the balcony for quite a while.

Bianca fell silent researching the gesture of the man, because of course she could not see it clearly. In a split second, Bianca realized that it was Selo and when Selo saw Bianca coming out of the balcony, the man waved his hand and afterwards Selo went straight into the car making Bianca shake her head.

Why is that guy still not giving up? This morning's speech was a joke that said it wouldn't bother him anymore, but look at the man coming here in front of his house.

Though without Bianca knowing, maybe this is the last time she sees Selo because Selo comes to the front of Bianca's house, the event sees Bianca for the last time. He thought he wouldn't be able to see his ex-wife because he'd been waiting for two hours, but it turned out that God was still so good at letting Bianca stay on the balcony until Selo could see the woman.

After Selo's car was nowhere to be seen, Bianca immediately closed on the door then she continued her intention to take the water down.

***

Selo runs his car at a moderate speed. It felt, he was so reluctant to return to the mansion because the moment he entered the room, he would see a row of luggage that had already been prepared.

He sighed. He stopped his car for a moment then leaned his body back, permeating the pain in the chest. It turns out that it's painful to part with the person she loves. I can't imagine how broken his heart was.

After a long time of contemplation, Selo finally re-started and run his car to go home to the mansion.

***

Time shows at four in the morning. Sello finished preparing, all the flying equipment such as passports and others were already in his bag.

Selo will fly at seven in the morning. That's why he has to go. Upon returning home to see Bianca, Selo did not fall asleep at all. The man's mind wandered, imagining how hard it was to live in Belgium.

Before long, the door opened. The figure of Gabriel appears and turns out the middle-aged man intends to deliver Selo to the airport.

"You ready?" ask Gabriel.

Selo nodded.

"Yes, let's go" said Gabriel.

Selo got up from his seat then the man scrunched up the suitcase.

***

Gabriel was driving his car at a moderate speed. He deliberately did not use the driver because he did not want to wake the driver up. From now on, he occasionally looked at Selo who looked dreamy.

"You're hard to go?" ask Gabriel. Selo sighed then nodded.

"But maybe it's just for a little while, I'll get used to it, too" Selo replied, though he wasn't sure of his own words, until Gabriel nodded his head.

After a long journey, finally the car driven by Gabriel arrived at the airport. "Go home, I'll wait here" Selo said.

"You sure?" ask Gabriel.

Selo then hugged the father, after which he got out of the car, and entered while carrying a bag and suitcase.

When he saw Selo who kept away, even though all his children were adults, but in Gabriel's eyes and in Amelia's eyes, his children were still like children. It felt like Gabriel was releasing his son who was going to school.

After Selo is not seen, Gabriel turns on and runs his car and decides to go home.

***

Finally, the painful moments for Selo arrived, where he was now on the plane, and soon the plane would take off. The man looked towards the window, hoping he would see Bianca escorting his departure. But of course it's impossible.

Selo looked back to the front. He wears an eye patch, then also wears earplugs, and after that he chooses to close his eyes because he does not want to feel increasingly hollow.

Until finally, after a long journey, the plane carrying Selo landed at the Belgian airport. When he came down, the man was already there to pick up none other than his father's men.

"Good morning sir" said James.

Selo nodded. The man got into the car, while James kept Selo's suitcase at the airport while he was in Belgium.

While in the car, again Selo felt foreign. The first time to set foot in this country, of course there is a different. After a long journey, finally the car driven by Selo reached the basement.

James came down, opened the door. They also walked towards the apartment that Selo will occupy while in Belgium.

***

Three months later.

Selo leaned his body back. He breathed a lot when he felt tired. The work was so time-consuming that he did not have time for lunch.

Selo leaned his body back. His gaze was immediately fixed on the frame of the photo he had stored. A picture frame containing her photo as well as a photo of Bianca. During his three months in Belgium, Selo felt an unusually different feeling. He has tried to adapt and is comfortable living in Belgium, but he is not. Selo still feels foreign.

There is no activity that Selo does other than just work, go home and sleep. Selo feels overwhelmed by it. It was no different from the activities in Russia, but still he felt strange when he had to do everything himself. Didn't see his family and didn't see Bianca.

Before long, the door was knocked until the figure of secretary Selo who sent the document appeared.

"Are you okay?" asked James who saw Selo's face was pale.

"It's okay" Selo replied until James nodded and kept the file in his hand.
