My girlfriend is my brother-in-law
Doctors are human too

Zahra and Samuel were in the hospital cafeteria and they had just finished checking on the patients. Zahra has been tired lately, her face looks very pale.

“Ra, are you sure you're okay? your face is pale?” samuel asked, very worried.

Zahra nodded her head, “I'm fine, sister. I'm just tired,” he said.

“Then you sleep first in my room, in my room I have a bed that I usually use to take a nap.”

Zahra nodded her head again, “aku to the sister's room just now,” he said then moved from his seat.

“Do you not spend your food first?”

“I have no appetite, Brother.” Zahra stepped out of the canteen. Samuel could not bear to follow Zahra from behind.

Once in Samuel's room, Zahra immediately laid her body on the bed. Samuel then covered Zahra's body.

“I'll wake you when it's time to go home.” Zahra just nodded her head.

Samuel left Zahra so he could rest, he then sat back in his chair, “what really happened to Zahra, why did she look so exhausted? Though lately the patient is not so much.”

There was a knock on the door, “in,” Samuel said from inside his room.

The door began to slowly open, a man entered the room. Samuel invited the man to sit down.

“How is my Mom doing, Doc? Can my mother be cured?” ask the man who is none other than Matteo.

“You rest easy, the patient is still curable, but I have to seek approval from the family to remove the patient's uterus. Because of the uterine cancer that the patient has suffered has started to spread.”

Matteo nodded his head immediately, “do whatever can save my Mama, Doc,” he said.

Samuel then gave the consent form for the operation and removal of the uterus, “you must sign this approval letter,” he said.

Matteo also directly signed the agreement, “I beg you to save my Mama,”.

Samuel nodded his head, “I will do my best,”.

Zahra could not sleep well at all, she changed her position to sit down. The woman faintly heard a familiar voice in her ears, she got up from her seat and walked out of the room.

Zahra's eyes were perfectly rounded as she looked at the familiar figure, “Matteo!” call loud.

Matteo looked at the source of the voice, the man was similarly surprised by Zahra, “Zahra!” yells.

Zahra moved her legs closer to Matte and Samuel, “what are you here for?’ tanyanya.

“The mother is my patient,” Samuel said.

Zahra rounded her eyes, “what? Your mom's in the care here? What kind of a sick aunt?” tanyanya.

“Mama I had stage two uterine cancer,” said Matteo sadly.

Zahra then sat down next to Matteo, “why didn't you tell me, since when was aunt treated here?” tanyakanya.

“It's been one week,” said Matteo.

“Ra, do you know him?” samuel asked curiously.

Zahra nodded her head, “Matteo is my upperclassman, but in terms of age we are the same,”.

“Oh..so,” Samuel said while nodding his head many times.

Matteo looked at the white coat Zahra was wearing, “are you a doctor at this hospital?” tanyakanya.

Zahra smiled as she nodded her head, “I managed to become a doctor, I just finished my koasku,”.

Matteo reached out his hand, “welcome yes, sorry I was late to congratulate you,”.

“Still yes,” said Zahra while shaking Matteo's hand.

“Can I find aunty?” ask zahra.

Matte nodded her head, “Mama must have been happy to see you,” she said with a smile on her face.

They got out of their seats and went out of Samuel's room.

“What the fuck are they, why they go without saying goodbye to me, do they think I don't exist!” samuel exclaimed in annoyance as Zahra and Matteo walked out of his room without saying goodbye to him and left.

***

Zahra and Matteo went into the room of his mother Matteo, Zahra saw her mother Matteo lying on the bed. Mama Matteo's body looks thinner than usual.

“That's because of an illness that Mama suffered from these few years.” They then put their feet into the bed.

Matteo touched the palm of his mother, “Ma, guess who's meeting Mama now?” said it.

Mama Matteo opened her eyes slowly, her two eyes started to blink many times as she looked at the figure standing beside her bed, smiles began to appear from both corners of the middle-aged woman, dear “Zahra, she said, is aunt currently dreaming?” he still could not believe what he saw.

Zahra clasped his mother Matteo's hand, and sat her body in the chair near the bed, “this is indeed Zahra, aunt. Aunt how are you? Haven't we met in a long time?” tanyakanya.

“Darling, you go anywhere, why have you never come to auntie's house again, did Matteo hurt you?”

“Ma..” Matteo had not told his mother that Zahra loved another man.

Zahra brushed off her smile, “forgive Zahra aunt, lately Zahra is busy in college. And now Zahra is busy with Zahra's work as a doctor,” he said.

“What dear? Are you now a doctor? Aunt happy to hear it.” The middle-aged woman then pulled one of Matteo's hands and put it together with Zahra's hands. Both Zahra and Matteo's eyes were perfectly rounded, “tante hopes that after the aunt recovers later, aunt can see you guys getting married soon,” he said expectantly.

Matteo immediately pulled his hand, “Ma, what did Mama do? Matteo has said to Mama, Matteo does not want to get married!”

Both Zahra's eyes are more perfectly rounded, he did not expect that until now Matteo was not even married.

“But why baby, now that Zahra is here, don't you guys love each other? Didn't you ever tell Mama that you will marry zahra,” said Mama Matteo.

“Matt...you..”.

“Ra, don't be horrified by what Mama said to me, and I'm sorry for all this,” Matteo said.

Zahra pulled Matteo's hand and took her out of that room, “what does this all mean, Matt?” ask when they are outside the room.

“I'm sorry. I haven't told Mama that you prefer other men over me.”

“But why? Didn't you see how hopeful aunt was?”

“I wanted to tell Mama, but at that time Mama I was sick. I don't want to add to the burden of my Mama's mind.”

Zahra let out a long sigh, “then now what are you going to say to your Mama? You have to tell the truth,” the door.

“Ra, do I have absolutely no hope of being with you like I used to?” matteo asked with both eyes.

Zahra shook her head, “I can't, Matt. Because now I belong to someone else,” he said.

“What do you mean?”

“Because Zahra is married to me!” exclaimed Ardi who was currently walking towards them.

“Kak Ardi!” exclaim Zahra surprised, “why did Kak Ardi come here?” tanyanya.

Matteo looked so shocked when he heard what Ardi said, ‘so Zahra was already married to him, so back then they were really serious,’ he murmured inwardly.

Ardi clasped his wife's waist, “of course to meet you dong darling, I miss you,” godanya while poking the nose pointed towards Zahra.

Ardi then looked towards Matteo, “hai, long time we did not meet, you how are you?” he asked while extending his hand.

Matteo shook Ardi's hand, “baik,” he said as he brushed aside his smile.

“Who is sick dear, why is Matteo here?” ask Ardi curiously.

“Mamanya matteo who is being treated here, she is a patient Kak Samuel,” said Zahra.

“Can I see him?” ask Ardi.

Zahra and Matteo stared at each other, ‘how is this, if Kak Ardi meets aunty now, everything will be chaotic. I do not want to make aunt's health worse later,’ Zahra murmured in the heart.

Zahra coded Matteo to forbid Ardi from seeing his mother. Matteo understood the gesture Zahra gave.

“Sorry, instead I want to forbid you to meet my Mama, but at this time Mama is resting,” said Matteo.

Ardi also flicked his shoulders, “ya already then, I will visit your Mama next time,” he said.

Zahra and Matte can breathe a sigh of relief, “Kak, what are you doing here? Is this past lunchtime?” tanyanya.

Ardi holds his wife's hand, “I'm worried about you dear, didn't you say you're not feeling well, but you still want to go to work,” he said anxiously.

“I'm okay, sister. did you forget that this sister's wife is a doctor?” zahra said with a smile on her face.

“The doctor is also a dear human being, so the doctor can also be sick.” Ardi then kissed the back of his wife's hand, “now we go home yes, you also have to take care of your health,” he persuaded.

Matteo who saw the affection of Ardi and Zahra increasingly made his heart hurt, until now the man has not been able to forget Zahra. He tried many times, but never succeeded.
