Love Above the Wounds
Dicky's Birthday
That morning upon waking from his sleep, Dicky opened the window curtain and sat pensively on the balcony of his room.
Many things he thought about, especially things that happened lately, as well as the changes they experienced in their lives.
On December 27, Dicky turned 34.
But no one remembers his date of birth, including Fitri.
From the morning Fitri woke up he went straight down. He was busy preparing breakfast for his family members, until he forgot that today was a historic day for Dicky.
Doldrumsily Dicky picked up his towel, then rushed to the bathroom cleaning his body and dousing it with a shower.
Then after he finished, he immediately went out of the room and changed clothes, then he went down to sit in the dining room as usual, various breakfasts were already available there.
"Eh Papa Dicky is awake! want some breakfast pa?" ask Fitri.
"Ma, you seem to have forgotten something? you remember nothing important happened today?" ask Dicky back.
Fitri seemed to think something frowned, but a short time later she shook her head.
"There's nothing important today, Alex is off, he'll take the rap on Saturday, after that we go on holiday to Jogjakarta, that's all I remember!" sahut Fitri's.
Dicky was a little disappointed, but he tried to hide the look of his disappointed face.
"Well then, today I'm going to the hospital, want to control the Hospital, and chat with my fellow doctors!" dicky said as he began to eat the breakfast that was in front of him.
"Yes Pa, I'm at home just looking after the kids, he said today they want to swim, I accompany them!" fitri.
"After that, I'm leaving now, still early in the morning!" dicky finished his breakfast.
Then he stood up and stepped forward, where his car was parked.
In his heart he was disappointed and sad, because Fitri forgot his birthday that fell on this day.
Whereas in years past, Fitri always remembered and gave Dicky a surprise on his birthday, but today everyone seems to forget, busy with their respective affairs.
"Papa be careful!" said Fitri while kissing Dicky's lips.
Dicky just smiled as he stroked Fitri's hair, then he got straight into his car and started driving her out of his house.
Along the way to the hospital, Dicky kept thinking about Fitri and the rest of his house who forgot that today he had a birthday, they seemed to not realize what date it is today. That makes Dicky a little sad.
When he arrived at the hospital, Dicky was flabbergasted that along the parking lot to the lobby, there were many bouquets for him to wish him a happy birthday.
Dicky smiled, it turns out that many people do not forget his birthday, even in the hospital today so festive looks pennant and various flowers are deliberately placed along the road.
Dicky got out of his car and stepped in through the lobby into his room.
"Happy birthday doctor Dicky!" said a few sisters and a doctor who happened to cross paths with her.
When he got to his room, Dicky opened the door, and he was a little surprised to see the many parcels on his desk.
"Thanks Dim! by the way who gave this parcel to me huh? That's plenty!" ask Dicky.
"At least those new doctors, they're fans of you Dic! You don't know, you're often the ingredient when they're gathering!" sahut Dimas was sitting on Dicky's couch.
"What time?" ask Dicky.
"Well, you know how the hell, I practice here every day, so I know what the doctors and the new sisters are talking about!" sahut Dimas's.
"Yes, they still remember my birthday, but Fitri seems to forget about today!" murmured Dicky who was also sitting on the sofa leaning his back and head back.
Dimas laughed at Dicky's words, Dicky was just like a child expecting a birthday greeting, along with a gift from Fitri.
"You are bro! It is natural that a Wife forgets her husband's birthday, because she is busy taking care of her household, so she does not have time to see the date!" sahut Dimas's.
"Yes but not so many times, yes, for many years he always remembered, only this year he forgot, I will be sad!" said Dicky.
Dimas again laughed back to hearing Dicky's confession.
"in that case, let me call Fitri and tell her that today is your birthday!" dimas said with a laugh.
"Don't! Just be careful if you dare to do that!" Dicky's Threat.
"Also Bro! Okay then, I have to go back to the room, soon my patients will be waiting in line!" said Dimas who immediately stood up from his seat, and stepped away from the room.
Dicky began to stand up and went to his desk, which was filled with gifts, he began to get rid of them and stack them in the corner of the room.
There is no more beautiful gift than the gift of his wife, but it is a pity that this time his wife forgets that he is a birthday.
Dicky then dialed the phone number of the Viennese nun, from the phone on his desk.
"Hello sister Vienna, please come to my room right now!" Dicky's Word.
"Good Doctor!" answer Sister Vienna.
Ten minutes later, the Viennese sister came and went straight into Dicky's room.
"Suster, please get people to bring these gifts, then put them in the trunk of my car, today I'll treat all the doctors and nurses in the cafe under the Hospital, you can have a special free meal today!" Dicky.
"Assyc! dong Dok often! Later I will tell you everything, at lunchtime, we eat for free at the cafe, Thank you Doc, and happy birthday too May you live long!" said the newly married sister of Vienna.
"Yes, now if you do your job, ask security to lift the parcel to the trunk of my car, I want to show Fitri that many people remember my birthday!" Dicky.
"Lho, did Bu Fitri forget that today's doctor Dicky's birthday?" ask sister Vienna.
Dicky nodded his face sadly.
Seriate...
