Decisions

"Ata are you ok?" jenar's question shook Regata's shoulder. Regata hid his shoulder face. The umpteenth time Regata cried her condition never improved. The school has reported that Mia's move, her report and letter have been taken by people claiming to be Danu's envoys from Jakarta.

Regata has not yet made the right decision. His work is disrupted, his social life is too. The only way he did was to tell Jenar his best friend and co-worker. 

"Just go to Jakarta, meet your father" Jenar suggested while stroking Regata's back.

Regata thought about the suggestion repeatedly but her guts shrunk as she imagined Danu's wrathful face. Jenar convinces Regata that his father cannot bear to expel Regata, even though his father is angry 

that's a sign Danu still cares about Regata. Went away for eight years with no news, Danu must have missed Regata.

Every night Regata can only cry while persuading Arimbi. But Arimbi also asked Regata to return home, a short break from his job.

The worried Regata is still struggling with his inner fight. Jenar didn't lose her mind, she asked dr. The bells come to calm Regata. Without asking too much Genta came to Regata's house. There are Jenar and Bi Nina who are very worried that Regata's condition will not improve. Bi Nina looked at dr. Genta pleads with dr. Genta accompanies Regata while helping Regata make the right decision because it has been a very long time Regata drowned in his sadness.

"I'm a nobody, I care about you and Mia. Go, meet your father. Mia is your right, you are responsible for her life and her future. But now that Mia knows her grandparents, don't lose two very important people in her life. You don't want Mia to judge you as evil?" genta said at length.

Regata went back to pondering Genta's words. Regata was too busy thinking about the memory eight years ago to forget that now Mia is there Mia assessment depends on Regata's attitude. 

Regata slowly wiped away her tears. The three of them helped Regata apply for leave tomorrow, as an employee who renews his contract every year Regata gets the right to leave for a full month because during his work he has never even been on leave or absent from his duties as a doctor. 

"Solve your problem. I'm sure you're strong. You passed these eight years on your own it's not an easy thing. You have to give yourself the respect you deserve for your achievements" said dr. Genta while laughing.

Dr. laughter. Genta and Jenar make Regata feel better. Now it is the end of the month, before the new schedule comes out better he immediately apply for leave and report to the head and staff.

All his business went well. Regata leave news does not invite many questions from fellow doctors, according to them Regata deserves a one-month leave of absence for his dedication so far. 

"Where are you going to take leave?" ask the nurses and midwives at IGD to know where Regata is going on leave.

"Go home" replied Regata.

"Where?" others want to know. During this time Regata said he was from Yogyakarta but some of them are not sure, the article Regata not medok Java and often loading if there are patients who invite him to speak in Javanese.

"Jakarta" said Regata sure.

Whatever happens, Regata is ready to face it.
