The Beautiful Doll of the Judge
Arrivals


A bell rang to Khati's room. The woman immediately put on her Instagram hijab, while glancing at the baby Erlangga who was still soundly asleep. He stepped to the front door and opened it.


"Doctor Doni?" The woman was surprised.


The man brought back the fruit parcel in hand. "This is for you."


"Eh, yes .. thank you. What's up, doc?" Khati received the parcel of the fruit in hand.


"Eh, it's not good to talk at the door." The man seemed to want to talk a lot.


"Actually, there's only me at home. Uh, I just opened the door, didn't you, doc?"


"Eh, yes. It's okay."


The woman then took the doctor to sit on the living room sofa. The doctor saw the big house. "It's kos-kosan?"


"Hire a room, exactly, doc. What's up, doctor came here? Are there any less maternity payments?" Khati was quite surprised by the arrival of the doctor to his home, because the delivery had already been passed a month.


"Oh, no. I just want to know how you are."


The woman scrunched her forehead. "My news is fine, doc. I also checked my baby's condition into the nearest health center, so don't go to the hospital."


"It's good."


"Yes." Yeah."


They were silent for a moment.


"Eh, let me make you a drink first huh, doc?"


The man did not deny confusing Khati with the doctor's arrival at his home. Before long, the woman came with a cup of warm tea in hand. He put it close to the doctor. "So what's up, doc, to the trouble of bringing a fruit parcel to me." He repeated the question.


The bespectacled man was confused to begin, but then he forced himself to talk. "I don't know what's going on with me. The first time I saw you, I thought you were just someone who reminded me of my late wife. So when you left I tried not to look for you, but I felt lost. I'm trying to survive but I can't, I want to see you."


The doctor's honest answer left Khati dumbfounded. He was also confused as to what to answer. "Doctor, I already have a husband."


"But your husband is not responsible. I don't know what happened to you guys but I'm interested in you. What, you want to marry me?"


The doctor's honesty made Khati even more flabbergasted. The man proposed to her. "Doctor .. a-I ...."


"If you want, I'll fight for you. We are not young people with a past about school and friends. We have a past where we had a partner and we know what marriage is like. Now we're looking for a marriage that's really soothing. Isn't that right, Anna's mom? Uh, may I call you, Anna?"


Although it looks soft, this man apparently spoke directly to his destination. He was sure that the woman would marry him. "Doctor, my past isn't that simple."


"That's not important, because in life what we're going to change is the future not the past. So take the past as a lesson for the future."


Khati was at a loss for words. He was still surprised at the man.


"Anna, I like you and I feel like you like me too."


"Wait a minute, doc."


"Call me, Doni."


"Doni."


"Thank you." The man smiled happily.


I was confused by the smile of the man. "Doni, my relationship with my husband is complicated. I don't want you involved in it."


"Why are you telling me this? Then you like me, don't you?" ask the man to make sure.


Doni is a pretty handsome guy. White skin and nose pointed with thick eyebrows, at first glance like a Korean man but Khati did not want to play with fire anymore. As long as her status was still married to Jun, she only wanted to raise Erlangga and did not want to marry again. He resigned to this unclear relationship because in his heart, Jun's position was irreplaceable.


The sound of baby crying. Erlangga was awake. The man immediately stood up. "I'm serious, Khatijah. Please think again. I'll tell you first, I'll come again."


"Eh, but ...."


The man rushed away. Khati could do nothing but watch the man leave in his saloon car. After closing the door, he rushed to the room.


Then the days passed with the doctor's visit were not necessarily time. Sometimes day, sometimes night, sometimes after days he then appears. Lita and the other boarding friends began to know because they often saw the man coming.


How not, because the man came with a bunch of roses. Friends of fellow boarding friends often even tease Khati, because only she is in the house that the man visited while the others are still single.


"Of course, take Anna. Pretty, handsome you know!" one of his female friends who later reentered the room.


Now Lita and Khati live in the dining room. Hate pouting while ruffling his hodgepodge. "What do you think I should do, Lit?"


"Lho, how do you ask me? You want to be the same as Doctor Doni?"


Khati still curled her lips.


"Then your son will grow up, how? You haven't done her birth certificate yet. Hurry up, you'll be bothered if your son wants to go to school."


Thats problem. Khati does not have a ID card, so it is difficult to make a birth certificate, but what if the child later goes to school?


"Repair your life, Anna. At least for the sake of the child. Your son needs a father figure. What if he's big. Don't let your status be like this."


Yes, he could not create a new ID card because he had no supporting data other than his real name data, Khatijah. He also could not create a ID card on behalf of Anna also because he did not have supporting data as well. Inevitably he must divorce Jun so that he has the data of Khatijah.


Yeah, he had to go back to being Khatijah because it was him. He can't hide forever. He must face this so that those who seek him may meet him again. His uncle, the people in his office and the people in his house.


Didn't he have any faults? Why was he afraid to face reality, just because he didn't want to meet Jun? After all, there was Doni accompanying him. Yes, he's getting married to Doni.


"Doni, it's not a bad choice. Aye, right?"


Hopefully Doni can accept who I really am!


-------------+++------------


Doctor Doni came back with a bunch of red roses. He came to the house at night when all the inhabitants were in the house.


"Anna, your doctor's here" Vita told Khati. He was whistling as he left the room.


Khati who just finished breastfeeding, was forced to bring Erlangga because the baby did not want to sleep. Doni was happy to see Khati taking the tiny baby out. "Ah, who is this? Not sleeping yet?"


"Not yet, Don."


"May I be a fat?"


But just touched, the baby was crying. Doni kept holding her while laughing. "Lho, what's a cry boy anyway? It's Om who used to come here!" Because he continued crying, he had to return the baby to Khati.


"There's something I want to talk about, Don. Can we sit down first?"


Doni put the flowers on the table. "Here, sweetie, flowers for you."


"Yes." Yeah."


Both sit. I stared at the man. "Don, what if I wasn't all that you've seen. I mean, I'm using fake data, and I'm not who you thought I was."


"So who the hell are you?" The man seemed to have expected it.


Khati took out the ID card that had been hidden in the bag she was holding. He gave the ID to Doni.


The man was surprised. He stared at Khati with his eyes open. "You're this woman? Khatija Anhar's? The woman who almost got the death penalty for killing her ex-husband's wife?"
