The Second Lead Fate

The Second Lead Fate
Twenty One


Ambar looked up and checked. Whether the food prepared by him was touched by that bule guy. After hearing the clinking sound of the spoon, he could feel relieved. Fortunately, he returned to this room at the right time. Otherwise, the nurse who was good to him would be exposed to the wrong anger address. A few minutes waiting, Ambar did not hear another sound from the direction of the patient's bed. He ventured to stand up and approached the man who still looked angry at him.


"The food is not over. Will you continue later?" ask Ambar.


But how long he waited, the answer from the guy in front of him was unheard of.


"Do you want to be fed?" he asked again, worried that the patient's hand still hurt to move. And back again, there was no answer to his question.


"I know you're angry, but this food is to speed up your recovery So ... "


"You're not a doctor, so don't talk too much"


Finally this guy replied but with a cynical tone. It sucks, thought Ambar.


"All right"


Ambar took care of the maknan and the table in front of the bule guy and took his bag. Prepare to go home.


"Why are you here again?" ask the guy who was silent. Ambar is forced to stop his steps to go and see the guy.


"I'm ... just .. not sure I can leave a patient like you alone"


That is the weakness that has always hindered Ambar's progress so far. Sympathized. Somehow, Ambar always felt it excessively and then self-destruct. Especially when dealing with friends who are close to him and ask for help. Ambar could not ignore the plea of help weighing him down. For this case, another. Although this guy did not ask her for help, Ambar seemed to have an obligation to help. Although it was only to accompany in this spacious and empty room.


"You're stupid"


Appropriately. That's what many people use. Ambar is stupid can not distinguish a conman and a needy. Rather than getting annoyed listening to this guy, he better go home soon.


"Where are you going?"


"home"


"Why?"


"You want to be alone"


"When do I say that?"


Ambar tried to remember what this guy had said. I never heard this guy say that.


"What about what I'm offering?" ask the guy again.this time behave like a calm adult.


"I am ... still not decided"


"I've warned you of the consequences if you refuse"


"Yes .. only. The relationship between everything is too complicated. And I'm just a not-so-great souvenir shop owner. Shouldn't you have chosen someone more ... beautiful and rich for this role? For example Rea or anyone other than me"


"So you refused?"


"Not so, it's just ... "


Ambar confused. He still had the opinion that running away from all these complicated issues would be better. But ... seeing this guy's reaction to his idea, it was horrible.


"What if your stupid best friend likes me too?"


"Huh? hahahahahaha" Ambar had never heard anything so funny, except this. Even though this bule guy is super handsome, it shouldn't feel so confident and say such a thing. Ambar still laughed until he realized what the guy in front of him said was something serious.


"It's impossiblennn" he continued in disbelief. Rea had already told how bad the consequences would be received by the Feli family if the marriage was void. Especially if it is because of the bride herself.


As Ambar was busy with his own thoughts, there was the voice of the Adhan being awaited by him since sunrise.


"I forgot"


"What?"


"I. .. have to find some iftar food first. I'll be back later"


"What's? Where are you going?"


Ambar ran at incredible speed to find a canteen in the hospital he had never known before. Several nurses and doctors he passed by gave warnings but were ignored by Ambar. And after searching, he finally found a cafeteria that looked more like a cafe. Instead of getting tired of looking again, Ambar ordered a bottle of mineral water first to break the fast.


 


 


"Well, the food was prepared a long time ago. It's been expensive, the portions are small, really not in line with expectations" the woman said.


"What are you talking about?"


"Cantin, uh cafe in this hospital. Very expensive and a little bit of a portion"


Adhi began to pay attention to the style of speech of the woman he had met six years ago and began to feel his decision was wrong. Maybe this woman is not suitable to be a lover even though just pretending. They were too different and no one would believe that they could be together for any reason.


"I'm freeing you from my love" said Adhi suddenly causing a bright smile on Kenzo's friend's face.


A smile that could make his heart beat faster. Perhaps because all this time, Adhi never saw such a sincere smile from any woman.


"really?"


"Yes. You don't match up to Feli"


"I've told you that Bosses should look for women who are richer and smarter than I am"


"You better just go now!!"


As soon as Adhi kicked her out, the woman looked quite confused. Maybe because of the heartache that she didn't choose him as a lover.


"Well then. I'm going first. Thanks for your consideration"


Wrongfully. The woman turned out not to have a heartache and continued to smile cheerfully until she disappeared from the room. Adhi now smiles cynically because he feels disliked by one woman who looks ordinary.


 


 


Ambar looked at the dark sky above him and opened his car door. Although his goal of not being included in Feli's problem was well achieved, he somehow felt that something was wrong. Until home, he approached his mother who was teaching.


"Have you come home?" ask mother.


"Oh. Assalamualaikum Ma'am. Sorry Ambar forgot"


Lies. Ambar did not forget but was busy thinking about other things and forgot the greetings when entering the house.


"Why? Is there a problem with your job at the store?"


"Son Ma'am. All smoothly"


"Alhamdulillah. Then why are you?"


"This bar is ugly, ma'am?"


Suddenly from his mouth came a silly question.


"What's? How do you ask that?"


"Son Ma'am. Just ... "


"Who did you say you were like that?"


"Nothing"


Ambar recalled the words that Boss Kenzo had spoken to reject him. Ambar is not worth comparing with Feli. Of course Ambar knows himself. Feli is a reflection of a perfect woman. Beautiful, has a smooth body like a princess, comes from a rich family, even her future husband is very powerful and respected in the world out there. Very different from him. But ... still.


"Mother's son is beautiful. Beautiful look, beautiful manner, and beautiful heart" praise her mother changed Ambar's mood.


"But Ambar was also once fat, spotty"


"All of that is a process.You also went through the process well. All of that if seen from the glasses of others will certainly never be enough continues, so we must be grateful for all that we receive from God"


Ambar hugged his mother's already young body and smiled. Is correct. He is not comparable to Feli, but his life is not to be compared with others. As long as Ambar lives happily with what is on him. So, his life was perfect.


"Babber dear mother"


"Mother son too"


That night Ambar slept well until sunrise.
