My Beautiful Lawyer
19

Bima came again to Vino's apartment and waited in the lobby. The newly arrived Vino looked at him in annoyance. The tightness was always there as he looked at his father. But he tried hard and stood straight in front of his father.

Now that he is a lawyer, he must have the courage to face his father. He should not be daunted just because of the bad memories of the past. He had also felt more confident since Hasna wanted to accept it.

Bima smiled at Vino.

"How are you, son?" ask Bima.

"Well, as long as it's away from you, I'll always be fine" said Vino ketus.

Bima responded to Vino's ketus speech with a smile.

"You didn't offer to enter your house?" Bima wants to be close to her father.

Vina glared, she felt very lazy not to accept it. But if he doesn't, it means he still can't shake his fear of meeting his father Bima.

"Come in, aren't you Bima Sebastian? You can do whatever you want" Vino said as he walked into the elevator.

Bima walked behind him and entered then stood beside him while inside the elevator.

The elevator stopped at the door of Vino's apartment. He came out and opened the key that was installed passcode as the key. Bima looked smilingly at her clever son.

"Please!" vino welcomed her as a guest.

"Good house, you are good at arranging things exactly like your mother" said Bima.

"What do you know about mom, you never know how she's withstanding her pain, about being slashed. The painful cries that flowed every night after you told her to leave the house with me" said Vino, who was silent at his dinner table.

Bima sat on the sofa listening to him with a sorry face.

"Your mother is the best, she is everything. I hurt her so that she would separate from me in any way" Bima said.

Vino clasped his fingers tightly as if squeezing. He was upset that his father told him about his mother.

"I was exposed to HIV at the time, because a doctor used the same injection as an HIV positive patient. I can't tell him because he'll just worry. So I did something to make him rebel and get angry. Then I can throw him and you out of the house" explained Bima.

Vino listened, he just knew the reason it all happened.

"You've been living in one room for years. Is it really hard for you to be honest with each other? Why should there be drama for trivial matters?" vino said with a loud voice about to cry.

"Your mother is a faithful woman Vino, if she finds out I'm infected with HIV, she won't care about herself anymore, nor about you. He will only focus on my weak self" Bima said.

Vino looked one eye at his father.

"I was just trying, even though he finally knew" said Bima.

Vino astonished.

"Listen, I'm really not interested in your reasoning. If you want to come here because you still think I'm a child, please. But never ask me to accept you as my father" Vino said firmly.

He went into the bathroom and left his own father. Vino cleaned himself up casually. He thought his father was gone and he could rest without having to chat first.

~After all what to talk about, we are not like father and son anymore~ said Vino in his heart.

She came out of the bathroom rubbing her hair with a towel. But his movements slowed down as he watched his father fall asleep on the sofa. Vino looked at him with pity.

But the heartache for his mother still pisses him off every time he remembers. Vino ignored him and slept in his bed.

Some time trying to sleep, but can't. His mind was worried about his father who must have been cold without a blanket. Vino resolves his worries by enveloping his father. He went back to sleep, this time he was able to close his eyes. Vino was sound asleep.

Bima woke up early, he was looking for food that if he could cook for his son's breakfast. He found some eggs and some fresh bread as well as milk.

Bima processed all the ingredients into Vino's favorite food. He arranged it on a plate, he also made banana milk for Vino.

Bima waited for Vino to wake up while reading the newspaper yesterday. Shortly after, his phone vibrated.

"Alright, I'll be there now" Bima said in a whisper.

Bima had to leave even though she desperately wanted to have breakfast with her son. He left after fixing his son's blanket.

Vino got up and looked at the window already open. He remembered that his father slept on the sofa. He was staring at the couch, but his father wasn't there. Vino stood up and was about to walk towards the bathroom.

His phone rang, Hasna contacted him. He came back to get his phone and answered Hasna's phone.

"Yes baby!" answer Vino.

"Don't call me that!" Hasna's upset.

Vino smiled then immediately fell silent staring at the table on which there was food available. Vino sat down and pulled his plate to get closer to her.

"Ok, what's wrong? My boyfriend" Vino still seduces her.

"Ah, whatever. You must have just woken up!"hasna guessed.

"Where do you know that? You installed a hidden CCTV in my room?" Vino guessed and looked around.

"So right, you forgot this morning there was a meeting about the artist's case" Hasna said.

"Hmmm, I'm sorry, I completely forgot" Vino replied as he chewed on the food his father had made.

"What are you eating? Tumben wakes up straight to breakfast, does anyone cook for you?" asked Hasna to mock him.

Vino smiled and thought of the thing that would make Hasna jealous.

"Of course, he made me my favorite food. Baked sandwich with egg as filling. Also a glass of banana-flavored milk is very good" said Vino.

"Who is he? A lady? or men?" tanya Hasna became curious.

He didn't know that Vino likes banana-flavored milk.

"Hmmmm, are you curious?" vino said as he undressed to take a shower.

He turned the shower tap slowly so Hasna didn't realize she was chatting with him while taking a shower.

"Do you see what he's cooking for me?" ask Vino.

Hasna quietly did not answer because she was typing something on her office computer.

"Redirect to video call!" pinta Vino's.

Hasna distracts him, she is also curious about what Vino is eating. But what he saw was Vino's half body was bathing and shampooing.

Hasna was surprised, she hung up the phone in a hurry. His face turned red and he looked around hoping that no one would see him.

"Basic!" hasna was upset.

While Vino laughed out loud continuing his bath. After the shower, she sent me a photo of herself wearing a towel with a smile.

Hasna opened her message, her face was hot as she looked at Vino who looked fresh after taking a bath. Hasna hung up her phone on the table. Breathe in and get back to work.

"Awas, if he comes I'll pinch his belly like that ripped bread" Hasna murmured.

Vino finished changing clothes, he returned to the table and finished all the food his father had made.

"Honey if there is waste, there will be rats who eat it" he said himself.

Vino still can't accept his father. He left and pulled his car back. As he was about to gas, Vino's phone rang again. This time his father's number, he sighed, lazily answering it.

~He must have asked me if I ate my breakfast or not!~ heart words Vino.

"Yes hello!"

"Sorry sir, the owner of the mobile phone is passing out at the clinic, he had an accident on the road near the inner-city toll" said one woman.

Vino's eyes were round, he was very surprised.

"Sir! I called because your number is on the first emergency call list" she said.

Vino was silent.

"Sir!" exclaim that woman.

"Yes, which clinic? I'll be there" said Vino.

He got the address of the clinic, then immediately gas-stamped. He called Hasna while driving.

"Yes hello! Why haven't you arrived yet?" ask Hasna.

"I couldn't come, my father had an accident" Vino said.

Hasna stood up from her chair.

"Accident? I'll be there!" hasna.

"No need! You can replace me with that artist case, right? Just today" said Vino.

"Ah, okay. I'll tell the others. You just focus on your father" Hasna said.

He hung up and told the person who was meeting with Vino.

Vino soon arrived at the clinic. He looked for her and asked the nurse to find her father. The nurse pointed to a row of hospital beds that were only a few filled. He pointed to the tip and Vino walked slowly closer to him.

Bima was lying limp there, Vino saw it. His heart was terrified, he did hate her, but he was not prepared to lose her.

"She was in shock, but she had calmed down a little. The doctor will check it again after the blood test comes out" said the nurse.

"Yes, thank you sister" said Vino.

He sits near her. Recalling last night as she looked at him asleep on the sofa as he let her wait for her to take a shower. Vino touched his hand.

~You must be upset because I behave like that continuously~ said Vino's heart.

"I'm fine, don't worry" Bima said as she felt Vino's touch.

Vino put his hand away, he turned his face flat again.

"Yes, thank goodness!" answer Vino.

"You've eaten your breakfast, haven't you?" ask Bima.

Vino stared.

"Yes, already. The banana milk is very good" said Vino.

Bima smiled.

"Hmmm, great. I want to sleep again, it looks like an injected drug that makes me very sleepy" said Bima.

Vino lowered his gaze. He looked at his own two hands that were unable to hug his father or just rubbed his father's face.
