Not Just Love
Chapters 16. Mindsets

The room is dominated by white color and a faint medicinal smell in the sense of smell. The porridge is still hot accompanied, a boiled egg on it. A glass of warm milk and pieces of fruit, complete the tray on the table.

Maya looks different today. More smiles, as if not having a heavy burden on his shoulders. The infusion needle, still stuck in his veins, with one hand, he enjoyed breakfast.

"Suster, when can I go home?"

"Wait for the doctor, brother. Maybe, noon."

A plate of porridge, leaving only half, as well as a glass of milk. Near the pillow, there was a notebook, complete with a pen tucked inside.

The book Ansel gave her. She said, Maya should take note of the things she needs to do, now until later. The plan, which he needed to put together, was for the future of his two angels. Starting from finance, residence plans to the future that somehow later.

This small thing, made Maya feel excited. Even the notebook he had just received yesterday, was already filled with almost half. Maybe he should add a few more books.

With this, Maya is also enthusiastic to add ideas in finding income. He needs to change his mind all this time.

"Have breakfast?"

"Just finished." Maya shows her plate, to the newly arrived Ansel complete with his white coat.

"This is for you." A picture book of a pregnant woman and her child. Ansel gave three pieces and one notebook that was quite thick. "Study. You're a student, so you still have to learn."

"Good, doctor. Thank you." Thank you."

A friendship that is getting closer. Ansel's attention was like a brother to his sister. So, Ansel said while giving books and food, to Maya. And the woman, unwilling to be indebted, was forced to accept it, with a note as a debt, which she had to repay, one day.

"I have an operation schedule until noon. You must obey and take medicine. In that bag, I brought your washed clothes."

Well, as always. Ansel will speak at length, before leaving. He will also say goodbye to his little nephew, by stroking Maya's stomach.

"Uncle, go first. Don't be naughty, yeah!"

All the dishes on the tray, it's empty. A glass of warm milk, so cover. Maya reads the title of the book, which she just received. While leaning back, he read the first book. Books about things she should do, in the tri-semester of her pregnancy. He recorded the important things from the book, so as not to forget it.

"Good morning."

Maya looks. Beautiful doctor, who checked her pregnancy from yesterday. His figure is friendly and also gentle. He gave her a lot of encouragement.

"Have breakfast?"

"It's the doctor."

The doctor attached a stethoscope to Maya's stomach. He also checked his pulse.

"Sus, can you leave us?" marsya's doctor asked for three assistants behind her.

"Okay, doctor."

Maya has a bad feeling. Did something happen to the baby? Why is this doctor asking to talk to him alone?

"Sorry, Miss. I just wanted to make sure. Are you the former fiance of the president Zamar Abidsatya?"

Deg. Apparently, this doctor, just wanted to ask her status.

"really. I'm Maya, her ex-fiance. But why do doctors ask about personal matters?"

"sorry. I just want to give you some advice, for your good and that of Doctor Ansel. In the hospital, there have been many rumors about you. Although, they are not sure. But, the mouth that has already spoken, can not be controlled easily."

"I mean, doctor?"

"Miss is pregnant now, of course there will be many question marks in their hearts. This hospital belongs to Abram's family, the wife of Zamar's president. You should know, where I'm going."

Maya is silent, with a guessing mind.

"So, what is the doctor's advice?"

"Please stay away, Dr. Ansel. You should do a pregnancy checkup at another clinic or hospital. Sorry, no offense. You know for sure, how people think about your pregnancy, who was once a fiancee. His presence, doctor Ansel with you, will have a bad impact on him. Please forgive me, must say this."

"It's okay. The doctor is right. In that case, please let me know, the clinic or the hospital, which are not managed by these two families."

Dr. Marsya gives notes and prescription drugs to Maya. He also apologized for interfering too much. But, he felt this was better, to say it directly. Rather than speculating, to cause slander.

"Miss, it'll be out by noon. As an apology, I will ask the officers not to talk about this anymore."

"Thank you, many doctors."

One of the nurses, step in to release the infusion. After Marsya's doctor leaves, Maya returns uninspired. The book that he had just read, was now lying just like that.

It's true, the doctor speaks like that. She was pregnant, with no clear status. Moreover, Zamar had married someone else. Ansel who was suddenly present, could certainly have an impact on him.

Maya gets up, picks up all the books on the bed, puts them in a bag. He took the clothes Ansel had brought for him. Change, before you go.

But, how will he stay away from Ansel? The man who helped her so much all this time. Just walk away, that's not right. The debt of gratitude is mounting, there is no way he will not repay it.

Maya sends a short message, so the man doesn't look for her. He has to go home and get better. Plan he put together, he will run. Ansel's problem, he just stayed away from her in public. Not leaving.

With one hand, Maya tore her bag out. His face, covered in a mask, with long hair. The fact is, that this hospital belongs to the Sandra family. He did not want to take the risk, by meeting people who recognized him.

He was like a fugitive. Hiding and away from the neighborhood. It was as if he had made a big mistake, one that cost many people. In fact, his fault is simply falling in love with the wrong and unachievable person. During this time, he tried to align himself with Zamar. Perhaps a college degree, behind his name, could make him stand right beside Zamar. However, everything was gone in an instant.

Ojek online, take Maya to the bus terminal. He enjoyed this trip, watching all the crowds up to the street corner. Hustle and bustle, there's no beach. There, there was only calmness, which made him always remember the bleak times.

Sometimes a sense of calm, it makes sadness and slumped. Peace will remind him of the past.

Maya takes a sitting position by the window. Take note, other buses are parked. There were also passengers, with different destinations, who started boarding the bus. There, they say goodbye to each other. Cuddling, as if I would never see you again. Maya left without being ushered in, by anyone. No one hugged or waved for him. Maya only say goodbye to the city that became a place to live, as well as memories for him. He also said goodbye to someone who had cut a wound.
