Love Me, Please Doctor
#14 A strained relationship

Alina who was daydreaming at that time, she suddenly remembered the incident where Hero refused the arranged marriage that had been arranged by her family

Flashbacks

Alina at that time did not know if Hanny and Bram had come to her house because it discussed the problem of arranged marriage. Unfortunately, the Hero who carelessly rejected it resolutely.

“Sorry about Aunt and Mother, Hero rejects this,” last word that Hero said. He came at the request of his parents.

And it's direct coercion from his mother, but Hero must be honest if he does not have any feelings. Moreover, Hero also can not love Alina, he just considers Alina like a sister.

No more than that.

Hearing that, Hanny immediately pinched Hero, she seemed to expect Hero to retract his words, unfortunately for now the man remained in his position.

“Hero, do you really really want to destroy the friendship that has been established?” hanny whispered, who sounded angry.

“Mother, whatever Mother asks, Hero will accept and agree. But for this one, Hero please that Mother does not force the desire of Hero,” said Hero.

Hero feels if his love for his lover in the past is very big. Until the Hero himself can not forget the shadow of the woman. After all, Hero only thinks that Alina is his sister, nothing more.

The hero's refusal suddenly made Alina's two brothers, father, and mother angry.

“If you have refused why should continue?” cynical Eron was very unhappy with the words of Hero who resolutely rejected his sister.

“No forced marriage, if indeed one of the parties does not want. Then this matchmaking we just cancel!” break Setoni.

There is anger when his favorite child is rejected just like that, he feels that the rejection of Hero directly has made his son who he considers as a Diamond, now looks like it is not worth anymore.

“One moment, there was a time when you regretted rejecting a Diamond and chose to retain an ornate glass,” the ambiguous words seen in Bian say.

And that word was only Bian himself who knew its meaning clearly.

Alina who gets rejection from Hero, she is often daydreaming and pensive. Because of the direct rejection by the people he loved very much, he felt if he was nothing more than an unwanted person.

Isn't love too complicated?

“Alina dear,” call Amina who entered her son's room.

“Forget the Hero dear, forget him! he is not a suitable man for you, there are still many men who are much better than him, Amina soft”.

As a mother, Amina was very unacceptable when someone rejected her child directly. Especially in front of him.

“Not the shameless Alina Mah?” said Alina who asked with her bland tone.

As if the remark did not need an answer, Alina simply kept silent and smiled mockingly at herself. Actually, when he was sent abroad by his brother at that time, Alina also tried to forget about Hero.

Because at that time, Alina thought it was possible that Hero would have a lover, and it turns out that the assumption is indeed true. Although he does not know who is Hero's lover, but Alina is sure that the woman is a lucky woman because she can get the heart of Hero.

Even if the woman had died, wasn't she getting lucky for successfully making a Hero so lost.

“What do you mean, baby? Alina the Mamah knew was not a shameless child. Alina who Mamah knows is also not a bad child like you are talking about. And do not say if you are shameless, because the words seem to make you look bad,” said Amina who does not like the words of Alina.

“Isn't that really Mah's reality? Alina is bad, very bad. It is clear that Kak Hero rejected Alina, but Alina still has a desire to be with Kak Hero. And perhaps, Alina is the most shameless person ever.”

A bland smile and blank look back Alina said. That made Amina instantly respond with a strong slab.

“Don't say that! you don't look bad at all!”

“Maybe we are not suitable not because Kak Hero is not good for Alina, but Alina who does not deserve to be able to have Kak Hero,” said Alina again.

“Tomorrow, Papah will ask Raihan's parents to allow Raihan to return to the country. Don't you remember Raihan? your childhood friend, right? ”

“You sleep, Mamah come out first yes,” saying Amina who wants to give time to the child.

Flashback end

Remembering Raihan, Alina remembered that her childhood friend had not returned to Z country until now.

While at Setoni's place.

Space Hospital.

“I hope you can forgive my son's mistake yesterday. He is still unstable and still immature even though he has become a doctor,” said Bram who is now talking to Setoni who is only silent.

“No need to say that. After all, the one who should be sorry is your son, not you!” setoni.

As a hospital owner, in addition to being a doctor. Setoni has a lot of tasks, he almost has no leave or vacation because of his busyness.

“Once again I apologize, please do not affect the friendship because this is for the future,” pinta Bram.

Maybe whoever the friend is, Bram will be willing to be left behind. But for his best friend, Bram does not want if Setoni does not think of him as a friend anymore. Only Setoni helped himself when others stayed away, even his blood-bound brother stayed away from him while he was downstairs.

Although Setoni did not help much, but his intention and sincerity will always be remembered by Bram. And Bram knew that the familiarity that was shown yesterday was nothing more because Setoni didn't want to make his son sad.

“Nentalah Bram, it hurts so much when I see my precious child rejected just like that,” replied Setoni. He stopped his work and looked at Bram.

“When you offered matchmaking didn't I often refuse? it's because I don't want my favorite daughter to get married. Because it will definitely make us rarely have time together, but-” pause Setoni who looks towards the picture frame he put on the table.

The photo, seen showing a cute little boy with a beautiful face that looks being carried on his shoulders by the father who is none other than Setoni himself.

“When I heard from my wife that Alina loved Hero. I finally agreed because it was for the sake of my son's happiness -” Setoni's pause again and Bram just kept quiet.

“And I'm sure if his love is also not just ordinary likes, but likes that have been based on love and affection, because the proof is I know that my son has loved your son for ten years.”

Bram who heard it was silent, but he started thinking. Maybe if it's Setoni Bram will be angry. Who accepts when his beloved son is just rejected?

Not only that, but the love of Alina who lasted ten years was also what made Setoni hurt.

“I understand,” said Bram in the end.

“Just go home, for now, we do not need to discuss this issue, just let this pass, and for our friendship in the future, it let the time answer,” replied Setoni.

Bram who heard that nodded, he would allow Setoni to be able to ease his anger.

...*****...

At Alina's place.

Alina, who is now unable to sleep, begins to ponder. Due to Hero's refusal, the relationship between the two families is strained. Alina believes that the two families have not really improved.

There was still an invisible transparent barrier, in front of him alone they were familiar. But in the back, Alina wasn't sure if the relationship was really familiar.

Alina also did not know how to make the two families come back like before.

“What should I do?” alina asked herself.
