"How is my son doing, Doc?" asked a woman who approached a doctor who was still examining a young man lying in a cage
"Thank God, there has been a development, we just wait until he regains consciousness" replied the doctor
"Thank God,"
The woman then escorted the doctor as she left her son's ward.
"Thank you doc,"
He then returned to his son who was still lying unconscious.
"Surely she improved after receiving a call from the woman," the woman then took Andru's phone which was stored in her desk drawer.
He smiled bitterly as he saw dozens of Miss calls from Laila trying to reach him.
"Do I have to tell her that Andru is very sick, not in college" she said sobbing
**********
That day L looked exhausted because his teaching schedule was full plus he had to do guidance to outstanding students who would follow the race.
Seeing L's busy schedule made Sean take the initiative to bring him a cold drink.
The man approached L in his room with a glass of iced coffee for him.
"You must be very tired today, I hope a glass of iced coffee can encourage you" Sean said
"Thanks Sean, but you shouldn't have shown more attention to me at school, because other people will think that you are too privileged with me and that can cause social jealousy among other teachers" L said
"I'm sorry, I promise next time it's not like I'll repeat" Sean replied
That afternoon after teaching L accidentally stopped by a convenience store to buy a birthday gift for his eldest daughter Sifa.
After finishing buying a school bag Laila immediately rushed home.
On the way home he met a man whose face was very similar to Andru's.
"Andru?" greet L with a radiant face
The young man momentarily stopped his steps and turned his head towards him.
"I'm sorry I'm not Andru, it looks like you're the wrong person," the young man replied then passed away
Laila was still staring at the man's departure.
"His face was very similar but from the way he spoke he was indeed not Andru," L immediately dismissed all the prejudices in his mind and then rushed home.
Upon arrival at home his two children were waiting for him in front of the door.
"Yeay mama's home!" sifa immediately ran up to him
"Happy birthday dear, may you live a long life, continue to be more affectionate with mamah and bagas ya deck," said L then hugged him tightly
"Thank you, where's the card?" answer Sifa
I immediately gave a gift to her.
"Yeay new bag, where's the tart?" the girl said expectantly
"Tara!" exclaim Laila took out a paper bag containing a birthday cake.
They immediately entered the house and performed a simple celebration.
"Where's the cake?" ask L
"Enak" replied Sifa and Bagas compact
Laila did not forget to capture their moment of togetherness and upload it on social media.
"Wouldn't you come, huh, mah?" ask Sifa gusar
"Maybe tonight or tomorrow, right now papah you must not have come home from work, be patient, yes" replied Laila
"Papah Andru kok did not say yes mah, but I already wa he loh," said Sifa
"Maybe he has a lot of college assignments so he has not had time, later if he is free to say. Do you really want that in the same word Om Andru?"
"Yes, abis only papah Andru who always care for Sifa, he even always answers every I Wa, he wants to hear Sifa confide he also always love the same spirit of Sifa if again join, he wants to hear Sifa, and the important thing is that Papah Andru always loves Sifa's pocket money without the knowledge of mama," replied Sifa
"Astaghfirullah Sifa, no boy. Om Andru is still in college so do not ask for money with him," replied L
"I don't ask Mah, but Papah Andru himself always gives thanks, he says to make me snack. If only he had been my papah, I would have been very fond," replied Sifa
"Don't fantasize" replied Laila
Sifa immediately opened her phone when she heard the flat ringtone of the device ringing loudly.
His face immediately beamed when he saw the figure who called him.
"Father Andru!" exclaimed the little girl flowered when she found out Andru contacted her.
"Happy birthday firstborn papah may be more beautiful yes dear, added pinter and more diligent help mamah" said Andru
"Thank you Papah, papah, don't you give me a gift?" sifa replied smiling knotingly looking at her
"Thank you papah,"
"By the same boy, can't you talk to your mother,"
Sifa immediately gave her phone to Laila.
"Hello L, how are you?" greet Andru with her sweetest smile
"Thank God what is the good news, how are you?" ask L
"Alhamdulillah I'm also good, btw sorry yes a few days yesterday I can not pick up your phone because my phone is broken, btw really tumben you call me a few times, you must miss ya?" andru teased him
"Ish what the hell, I was just wondering yesterday I saw someone who looks a lot like you. I even met her again, I thought she was you but she said it was the wrong person, do you have a twin brother?" ask L
Andru immediately shook his head.
"I am the second of two children, my brother is dead and now I am alone" replied Andru
"Oh sorry,"
"Our father L, actually I still miss you and the pep talk to you for a long time but, my job is very much so sorry L, I can not talk to you for a long time,"
"Let's just relax,"
"I love you L,"
"Love you too," Laila replied courageously saying that line.
Andru was so happy when he heard L's answer, it felt he did not want to end his dream coach with L, but the pain made him unable to speak again until he returned to a coma.
Some doctors came directly to the Andru treatment ward to take action.
********
Saturday morning L deliberately invited his two children to exercise in the morning in the park.
In the park he met Thunder who was also jogging there.
"For L," said Thunder with a smile on his face
"Morning is also Gun" replied L
"How are you?"
"Thank God I'm good, how are you?" ask L
"I'm also good, btw you guys I also want to say goodbye to you, sorry I yes if I'm wrong with you a lot" said Guntur dive into the girl
"Where are we going?" ask L
Guntur then told about his decision to become a world peacekeeping force.
"Why did you do all that?" ask L
"Because I don't want to be betrothed to L, I'd rather be single for life than marry a woman I don't like, that's why I chose to join the world peacekeeping force. I want my father to know that everything cannot be forced according to his will" replied Thunder
"Why did you do that, can't you make peace with your father?"
"I have tried to comply with all his wishes, including leaving you, but my father still never understood me and now even betrothed me to his best friend's daughter" Thunder explained
"Please, I'm sure one day your father will understand you, it's just that he needs time" replied L
"Miss L!"
I was shocked when I heard such a familiar voice call out his name.
He smiled when he saw Devan walking up to him.
"Who's Dev coming here?" L seemed to circulate his gaze looking for the whereabouts of Silvia or Sean.
"Just like," Dev replied pointing to Sean who had just got out of his car.
Seeing Sean's arrival, Thunder immediately said goodbye.
"Happy birthday Sifa, sorry Om late love the card," said Sean gave a gift to the little girl.
"Thank you, sir" replied Sifa
"How about we celebrate Sifa's birthday by eating at a fried chicken restaurant?" ask Sean
"Yeay I want to!" exclaim Bagas so happy
Unlike Bagas who was so happy when Sean invited him to eat at a fast food restaurant, Sifa actually looks ordinary and even tends to be indifferent.
Especially when he saw Sean trying to get close to L, the girl even showed dislike to the man.
Seeing the attitude of Sifa who suddenly became indifferent and reserved made L curious.
"You why the hell son, really tumben today you are so jutek, what is it?" tanya L tried to find out what made her eldest daughter look cute that afternoon.
"I don't like it if you're close to Om Sean, I'd rather mamah papah Andru than Om Sean," said the girl made L surprised to hear it
