Love In Sketches
Rejected

"Since I first saw Rubby in the hospital, I've been interested in him." Said Doctor Malik.

Everyone there looked at him, except for Rubby, who threw away his eyes.

"I knew my feelings were wrong, but now Rubby has separated from her husband. And I intend to propose to Rubby."

Everyone was immediately stunned by what Doctor Malik said.

"Applying?" Birthday Bakti Father.

"Yes, Om. I'd like to propose to Rubby. How, what good intentions have I received?" Ask Dr. Malik. Now everyone's gaze turned to Rubby who was always silent while lowering his face.

"Rubby, are you willing to accept my goodwill?" Ask Dr. Malik to Rubby. The girl was silent, her eyeballs were agitated. Didn't expect Doctor Malik would directly propose to her in front of her parents. The man was really reckless as it turned out.

"Rubby, please answer Doctor Malik's question." Mother Maya. Rubby's face lifted, looked at the people who were there one by one, and stopped at his father. The girl nodded slowly.

"Before Rubby thanked Doctor Malik for his goodwill." Rubby paused, while Doctor Malik waited anxiously for Rubby's reply.

"But I'm sorry, Rubby can't take it." Rubby continued, looking a look of disappointment on the handsome face of the doctor. And the others just fell silent, it seemed like they could already guess Rubby's answer.

"Rubby excuse me." Without saying much, Rubby got up from his seat and left the living room for his room.

Doctor Malik took a heavy breath, the application was simply rejected. Though he did reckless like this, applying directly Rubby in front of his parents, but in fact Rubby refused. Was the woman not at all satisfied? Suddenly there was a man who proposed to him when they had not known him for too long?

"Ehm, Doctor Malik." Calling Bakti's father made the man look at him.

"Yes, Om."

"I'm sorry in advance, if Rubby's answer doesn't live up to Doctor Malik's expectations. But indeed for this kind of business we as Rubby's parents will leave the full decision to Rubby, because Rubby will be the one who will live it. Rubby's failed in the household, and we don't want to force him." Said Bakti's Father.

"Yes, Om. I can understand. But what's the reason Rubby rejected me? What is my lack of self? I'll try to fix it." Doctor Malik said solemnly. Bakti's father turned to look at his wife.

"Well then, I'll ask Rubby directly." Said Doctor Malik.

"I'll excuse you then." Doctor Malik got up from his seat

"Eh, why the rush? We haven't even given you a drink." Said the newly realized Mother Maya has not given a drink to her guests.

"It's okay, Auntie. Sorry if my arrival has disturbed me. Excuse me, assalamuala'ikum."

"Getishalight."

Andika escorted Doctor Malik to the front door.

"Em, Andika." Doctor Malik stopped his steps in the doorway.

"Yes, why?" Ask Andika.

"Does Rubby still love her ex-husband, so he rejected me?" Ask Dr. Malik. Andika sniffed her shoulders.

"Sorry Doc, I don't know about that." Answer Andika. He also did not know how the two people actually felt. If Arya loves Rubby but why did Arya divorce her? And Rubby, it's obvious that she loves Arya so much. But I don't know, Andika is confused.

"Yes, already. Excuse me." Pamit Doctor Malik.

"Yes, Doc. It's night, be careful on the road."

Andika re-enters the house as soon as Doctor Malik's car leaves his wife's yard.
