Secret Wedding Geeky Girl & Cold Doctor
MICHELLA

"What a good name. I like your name" Sheila said, wiping the boy's hair.

"Whose sister's name?" ask the boy.

"Our names are almost the same. Her name is Sheila..."

"silvia?" her tanyanya made Sheila nod slowly.

Sheila stroked the pale-faced child's face, while publishing her smile. "How old are you, little fairy?"

The boy answered by raising his palms, which meant he was ten years old, and it made Sheila laugh. Of course toddlers like Michella do not understand about age. Talk is still a mess.

"Ten years? haha... Chella is adorable, yeah..." Pinching the child's gaunt, tapered face, for Sheila to chat with a child who was still innocent was very pleasant. Especially the way Michella's speech is still slurred and not perfect pronunciation, really adorable for Sheila.

"Why is Chella's face so pale. Is Chella sick?" ask Sheila.

"Yes. Fifi's mother, the doctor said, I have to take medicine, let it heal quickly."

"What is Chella sick for?"

The child replied by pointing at her chest, making Sheila furrow her brows.

"Body?" Sheila looked deeply into the boy's face.

Is he the same as me? I also had congenital heart disease and was eventually treated by Brother Marchel. Does Michella have the same disease? in the inner Sheila.

"Chella's been sick?"

The boy nodded quickly. "It hurts!" he answered while pointing at the chest. Sheila rubbed the little girl's hair again.

Not long after....

"Chella's... I'm looking everywhere it turns out to be here." There was the voice of the caretaker's mother, Ms. Fifi, who interrupted Sheila and Chella's conversation. "Ah... Miss Sheila is still here apparently."

"Yes, Mom. I was talking to Chella. But by the way I've already said, don't call me Miss, Mom. Just call Sheila."

The woman smiled kindly. "I'm sorry, I'm really bad."

"It's okay, Mom," Sheila said.

"Chella, come on in. Chella hasn't taken any medicine." Bu Fifi reached out her hand, but the boy immediately hid behind Sheila, shaking her head slowly.

Sheila rubbed the top of the boy's head, then squatted down in front of him. "Chella's... Come with Ms. Fifi first, yeah. I'll be here again playing with Chella. Wanna?"

The boy's face turned sad, so Sheila immediately hugged him. There are feelings that are hard to explain. I didn't want to take the boy out of his arms. Sheila rubbed the boy's hair, down to the back.

"Come, Chella.." invite Bu Fifi to make Sheila let go of her embrace. He looked deeply into the little girl's face.

"Bah Brother.." said Chella with a sad face. Sheila did not want to let go of the little girl's hand.

"Excuse me, Sheila. Chella has to take medicine first" said Ms. Fifi.

Sheila did not answer. His gaze was so glued to Chella's face. The young woman dropped a drop of her tears, staring at Chella's back who had already moved away. For a while, Sheila was still frozen there, trying to neutralize her feelings and returned to sitting on the park chair. Chella's face kept on in her mind.

One of the doctors at the hospital who took care of her gave her the name Michella. He said the doctor also recently lost his daughter who was also born along with Michella. In memory of his son, he gave it his name. Chella has a history of congenital heart disease. That was why his face was often pale and he had to continue taking medicine. Lucky is still relatively mild, said the doctor can still be cured," recalls Ms. Fifi.

The two women were chatting in the living room. Sheila freezes over hearing Fifi's mother's explanation about Michella. For some reason, Sheila felt like she had an interest in the girl.

So Chella was born with my son. And it was Brother Marchel who named her Michella. Yeah, she combined her name with mine. Inner Sheila.

"Did Chella really have no other family, Mom?" sheila asked the woman.

The woman smiled faintly as she shook her head softly, "Come! The house was looking for information, but found no clues. His mother also had no clear identity. That's why they decided to take Michella to this orphanage."

"It's a pity for the boy." Sheila said with a sad face.

We have a fate that is not much different. My mother also died giving birth to me. But I'm lucky to have Shanum. And Chella's still lucky to have Mum Fifi. It looks like Miss Fifi loves Chella very much Sheila said in her heart.

"Yes that's right, I feel sorry for him too... He's also a slightly shy kid. I'm really impressed, he wants to talk to you. Usually he doesn't want to talk to people who have met for the first time."

"really?" Sheila seemed very enthusiastic about talking about the boy.

Fifi's mother nodded softly, "He's a closed and aloof child. That's why he often gets ridiculed from other kids." The woman took a long breath. "But the boy was amazing. He built his own world."

"I can see it. Um... Mom, can I see her before I leave?" ask Sheila.

"of course. But he's sleeping."

"It's okay, Mom. I just want to see it. I won't bother him."

"All right..."

They then head to a room, where Chella is fast asleep. After taking the medicine, the little boy would fall asleep. Sheila took off her shoes before entering the room, so that the sound of her foot beating could not be heard.

Slowly approach towards the bed and kneel at its side. Sheila constantly looked at Chella's face without getting bored. Stroking her hair and peeling her forehead.

After that, it came out again while feeling quite satisfied looking at the child.

"Thank you, Ma... I let me see Chella. If Mom and Chella need anything, call me right away."

"Thank you very much, Sheila. You're very nice."

"I'm glad I could help. I don't know, but I really like Chella."

I liked it maybe because my childhood was the same as her, I was like looking in the mirror when I saw her. Or I'm only interested in her because her name is Michella.

"alright, Mom... I have to go, it's late afternoon. Rey's father and sister will find me if I'm not home at this hour" Sheila said.

"Dad?" the woman looks confused.

"Yes... I mean Mr. Arman... I've taken it like my own father."

"oh... Mr. Arman is a very good man. Only he often visited this orphanage. Mr. Herdian and his son have never been here."

Sheila was riding in a car parked in front of the orphanage. There were several men in black uniforms escorting him. Rayhan and Mr. Arman made strict guardianship for Sheila after her return from Germany.

Along the way, his thoughts continue to be on a child named Michella.
