Love Lanterns
CHAPTER 37 ”Time”

The atmosphere of the company this morning looks normal and calm, as calm as Ayunda who completed his task although sometimes disturbed by headaches that often attack him.

For two weeks Ayunda had not met Nathan who was visiting the Adhipramana Group branch offices in all cities in the country. There was a little longing that Ayunda felt for his boss, although Nathan had contacted him several times.

His memory returned the first night Nathan declared his love, he had tried to close his eyes at that time to quickly go to sleep, but still it was difficult. The incident when Nathan drove her home after dinner two months ago made Ayunda curse herself.

"Shameful" upset Ayunda lamenting that letting Nathan kiss her again, their kiss was hotter than last afternoon when Nathan told her love. And even more annoying for Ayunda if the kiss is considered Natahan is the answer from Ayunda.

"Sleep Nda. sleep" Alisa was disturbed by the movements made by Ayunda.

"Can't"

"You can ask to kiss again tomorrow if it was not satisfied" ledek Alisa who made Ayunda more upset.

"Sa.." snapped Ayunda.

"I'm sorry I was disturbing. I don't know if you guys are hot-hotnya" instead of stopping Alisa getting sucked Ayunda.

"Cih.. like you didn't just do it with Mr. El" Ayunda replied making Alisa's face reddened.

"I saw you Alisa. Don't you think I don't know even if you don't tell me"

"This is good for Nda. You and the big boss, me and his assistant. Sometimes we double date" Alisa pulls down her eyebrows teasing Ayunda.

"Ishhh" Ayunda dislikes Alisa's proposal.

"What else is it? Are you still in doubt with Mr. Nathan" Ayunda just silently responded to Alisa's question.

"Forget Kevin, Mr. Nathan loves you so much. Five years is not a short time to wait for you Nda"

"Try opening your heart to her, you deserve to be happy and that's with the man who really loves you"

"Now sleep and beautiful dreams" Alisa closed her eyes again.

His conversation with Alisa that night that makes him still on Nathan's side, but since he knew the pain he suffered could cause death makes Ayunda hesitant to accept Nathan's love.

"Hey..dreaming what the hell?" alisa's voice surprised Ayunda.

"Newly also left two weeks already dumb, his lips are already dry yes ma'am boss" led Alisa.

"Nih wetin use water" Alisa chuckled, happy to tease Ayunda.

"I doubt Sa, I can't accept her love with my circumstances like this" Ayunda looked at Alisa.

"Today I have a control schedule with doctor Sam, you can accompany me right Lis?" his eyes begged Alisa.

"Doctor Erick registered my name today, so this afternoon I can go to see Sam's doctor, no need to wait long in the waiting room "

"Yes, I will accompany you, patiently yes Nda, doctor Erik said there are still many possibilities to recover"

"I'm afraid Lis, will I be able to survive after the operation? What about my mom if something happens to me? "

One month ago Ayunda had an MRI after she met and consulted with an Oceans ocologist, according to the advice of doctor Erick after he felt too often dizzy vomiting and his vision is sometimes blurred and dark instantly.

The results of the examination turned out that there was a tumor in his brain, only Alisa and Erick doctors knew of this problem, Ayunda had not dared to tell Mama Mira. That's why only Alisa and Erick's doctor accompany her for control and consultation.

"Everything's gonna be fine, you better tell Mama and Nathan right away, Nda"

Ayunda nodded in agreement, "The plan is that I will tell my mother after she gets the surgery schedule"

"But not for Nathan Lis, he's nobody to me"

Ayunda shook her head "She did tell her love, but I have never given an answer until now Lis" Ayunda explained her true relationship with Nathan.

"Then that kiss?" ask Alisa.

"It's just a kiss Lis, it's nothing. It's also because he started"

"But you returned the kiss Nda, it means you have the same feeling with her, just that you don't want to admit it"

"I can't burden her with my pain, many other women who are more deserving of her"

"Mond..."

"We're leaving now Lis" Ayunda cut off Lisa's words.

"Alright, it's up to you, as a friend I want the best for you and your happiness" Alisa left first.

Ayunda was silent at Alisa's words, she closed her eyes and cupped her face. Alisa is not wrong, has grown a sense of like in Ayunda to the figure of Nathan. Two more months they were together, never once did Nathan hurt her, the hagat treatment and affection she received.

Now Ayunda and Lisa are already in the cancer-specific hospital where Sam's doctor practices.

"You've arrived?" the authoritative voice that Ayunda and Alisa were very familiar with.

"Sister Erick... Isn't it like this hour you still have patients?" ask Ayunda after hearing the greeting of doctor Erick.

Since Erick accompanied Ayunda in consultation with Sam's doctor, their relationship grew closer and closer, therefore Ayunda called Erick with the call of an older brother.

"Today not so many patients, so I decided to accompany you" Erick replied with his smile that made many women fall in love.

"Dok, don't smile like that, I can fly" teased Alisa who was stunned to see Erick's charming smile.

Ayunda shook her head at Alisa's behavior. "I told you Mr. El you know, if you still like to tease other guys" made Alisa silent.

"Don't dong Ayunda love me" Alisa seduced Ayunda while hugging her best friend's arm, while now Erick's doctor who was shaking his head saw Alisa's behavior.

"Mother Ayunda Tiara" the nurse called Ayunda's name to enter Sam's doctor's room.

Erick accompanies Ayunda into the doctor's office, while Alisa waits outside. Alisa feels Erick more worthy to accompany Ayunda, because he is a doctor, he certainly can provide good input for Ayunda and Erick also knows well with doctor Sam.

"The sooner the surgery gets better" said doctor Sam after hearing a growing complaint from Ayunda for two weeks.

"This is blood that has come out, if left will be widened everywhere" explained Dr. Sam.

"Hows it? Ready for surgery?" tanyakanya.

"Next week we can have surgery when it's ready" Ayunda was quite surprised by the one week given by doctor Sam, he has not told his mother.

"There's no need to be afraid that there's a doctor Erick who's always with you. Isn't that so doc?" Erick just smiles at Sam's doctor's words, he knows the doctor is teasing him and Ayunda.

"Next week yes" Erick pinta while holding Ayunda's hand, trying to calm and encourage.

"Mama doesn't know yet" replied Ayunda slowly.

"Sister will talk to Mama" Erick assured Ayunda

Ayunda nodded in agreement, whatever the outcome he had to be ready. It's also a good time, Nathan's out of town and he doesn't want Nathan to see him in pain during surgery.

"If you are ready to register in front, Erick's doctor already understands the rules" Erick nodded in understanding what Sam's doctor said.
