I stepped my foot into the campus parking lot. Working while in college again really drained my brain and energy.
Mandala promised to pick me up because I left for work this morning I didn't drive my own car. But hitchhiking on Melky.
"Dear Cape?"
As soon as I opened the car door, it was the word Mandala said.
"Lumayan, after this I still have to attend the event d IDI".
"Now?"
"Yes, please deliver. The show's in an hour".
Mandala did not answer, I saw the look on her face change. Maybe Mandala was angry, but Mandala never got mad directly at me.
Mandala took me to the IDI Secretariat.
Today, there's a board meeting I need to attend.
Although Mandala was not happy, but still gave a smile and kiss on the forehead when I parted from the car.
"Doctor Chintya" Doctor Heru who met me in the parking lot smiled and greeted me.
"How are you doing, doctor?"
"Well, a husband?"
"Yes, doctor".
We walked in while talking.
"A Soldier?"
"Yes the doctor, in the Air Force".
"It's like I've met, but I forget where. What's your husband's name?"
"Mandala, doctor"
"Could he be my patient?"
"The doctor joked, I would know if my husband went to the doctor's office"
Doctor Heru laughed.
"I'll let you know if I remember one day where I met your husband".
"Okay, doctor, I'll wait".
I also laughed a little in response to the words of Doctor Heru.
Heru is a specialist in Andrology. Specialist in male reproduction.
Is it possible that Mandala has been to the practice of Heru's doctor without my knowledge??
Don't think about Ega.
Stop that.
------------------
The Indonesian Doctors Association will hold the election of a new Chairman, so we the board, especially junior doctors like me are kept busy for a while.
As a result, my route every day is hospital - forensic room - campus - secretariat IDI.
I always come home late at night. Sometimes Mandalas pick me up. Sometimes I go home alone. Luckily I was able to work at the hospital with Dr. Herman, so I often came to the hospital just to take a short nap.
"Gee, I'm looking for a doctor Heru".
Doctor Lia, who is my age in college, told me when I opened the secretariat door.
"Where is Doctor Heru?".
"In the Chairman's room".
"Many people?"
"Nobody's coming yet".
"I'm going there first".
I also stepped into the room of the Chairman of IDI, where Dr. Heru as Treasurer in IDI.
I knocked on the transparent door.
Doctor Heru gave the code through his hand asking me to enter.
"Doctor's afternoon".
I opened the door and said my greetings.
"Come on, doctor Chintya"
"Doctor's looking for me?"
"Sit"
Doctor Heru looked at me.
"How long have you been married?"
"Six years doctor"
"I've found out about you from Dr. Herman. Doctor Herman really admires you as a co-worker".
I just smiled a little.
"Have you ever done a pregnancy program?"
I just nodded, puzzled as to why an Andrology doctor was discussing the matter of pregnancy with me.
"You remember that I said I've seen your husband?"
"Yes, doctor, I remember".
"He was a patient in Andrology".
Doctor Heru said as he continued to look at me.
"Patient in Andrology clinic? My husband never told me".
"It's free for you to do a pregnancy program if your husband can't get you pregnant".
"Doctor?? What does the doctor mean?"
I was shocked and involuntarily let out a higher voice.
"I remember about four years ago, your husband came with an old man in Faisal's doctor's office, when I was a doctor's assistant. Here's the file, you can see it".
I took the file in front of me. Open and read it.
My tears came down without me noticing.
I sobbed in front of Doctor Heru. Why would Mandala do this to me. What really happened.
"Talk this well to your husband, go home now. I know your condition now is not possible to join a meeting here. I'll arrange everything here, you're my subordinate here too".
I keep sobbing. Doctor Heru gave me a glass of water.
"Look, I and Dr. Herman took the initiative to tell you this, because I knew from Dr. Herman that you were always blaming yourself. The real fault is in your husband".
"Thank you doctor, I really appreciate it. I'll find out why my husband did this".
"Be careful. According to my observations four years ago. The dangerous one is not your husband. But the old man with him".
I'm persevered. Old man??.
I opened the phone. Looking for Ama's photo in my phone gallery.
"This is the doctor, is this the man".
Doctor Heru looked at the photo I showed.
"Yes right, he's a doctor too if not wrong".
I bowed listlessly. Ama?? Ama is the mastermind of all this.
Butwhy?
Hasn't Ama been so kind to me since I became an intern doctor with her.
Didn't Ama think of me as her own daughter.
My tears are back.
Doctor Heru calmed me down and reminded me not to act rashly, for fear of my safety.
I could only nod, wipe my tears and ask for permission to go home immediately.
----------------
In the car my tears spilled.
I don't understand what's going on with this.
I'm back in the dorm.
Take some clothes and put them in the trunk of the car.
The documents I have are all on Mandala including our marriage license.
I have to get everything before I act.
I don't know how much control Ama has over Mandala and Melky. All I know right now, I can only be vigilant and take care of myself.
I called Dr. Herman. The only doctor I can trust and know all the stories of Dr. Heru.
I can't possibly find another doctor. I also don't want the disgrace of my household to be revealed to everyone.
"Doctor Chintya, what's looking for me".
Doctor Herman walked into the diner where I made the appointment.
I gave Dr. Herman a large brown envelope and a bag containing my clothes.
"I leave this doctor, this is my personal savings book and jewelry as well as a bag of clothes. I prepared this if one day I should run away".
"Doctor Chintya's been investigating?"
"Not the doctor, I'm just getting ready. I have to get my marriage book and clinic ownership documents first. I just acted".
"Don't be rash doctor, you don't know who you're dealing with".
"I understand the doctor, I just wish my husband was a victim like me".
"Your husband is very kind and loves you. I wish the same. You two are victims".
"Thank you doctor Herman for the support. Pray that I can find out what really happened".
"I told you, co-workers should help each other".
"I'm sorry, doctor, it's late. I'll go home first"
"Be careful doctor Chintya"
-------------
I took the car back home to the big house. I saw Mandala's car parked in the yard.
Entering the house I saw them all sitting in the living room.
Melky and her new wife Nia sit down with Utami. And Mandala as usual, playing with the Princess.
Ama also sat there with her mother Melky. Both of them smiled sweetly while watching their two grandchildren.
"Mother"
The first princess saw me and ran after me.
I'm arresting the princess.
"Mother from outside dear, the Princess should not hug Mother. Mother shower first is beautiful".
The princess looked disappointed but still nodded. Mandala approached the Princess and looked at me.
"Are you okay, baby? Your face is a little pale".
I smiled a little.
"Get down, I'm going up first"
Mandala saw me pass by in the living room without greeting anyone and went straight up to the third floor.
Before closing the elevator doors, I heard Melky's mother speak the language of a region that I didn't know what it meant.
Are they talking about me.
I don't give a shit. I'm really tired of my soul and body.
I just want to clean myself up and sleep. Wish all this was just a dream.
