THE WOMAN (END)
•109

Someone who has been disappointed by the past, it will certainly be difficult to open their hearts again especially with new people.

But the other way with that woman, she was able to give her own color in my life. Makes me feel comfortable and not want to lose her.

Several times, I couldn't control myself. Staring at him intensely, and I know it makes him uncomfortable.

His face that always met red when I looked at him, became opium to me. making me challenged to always tease him.

Anjani's eyebrows, if you knew how much I wanted to hold you tight right now.

It's just that I know what's in your heart. The trauma of marriage may be one of the reasons why you can't open your heart so easily.

Especially after Bi Marni told me so much about you. Sorry too, since I've been talking about you in the back lately, it's not satisfied to see you in the morning.

Because I will miss you so much when night comes, it even feels like I want to be early in the morning to see you.

Like that time, you did not come to work.an instant feeling of anxiety whack my mind.how could you not go to work that day.

I asked bi Marni to keep calling you or even your neighbors. But Belom there's definitely news about you.

That's when, I felt regretful about my condition.If I could walk properly, I would look for your existence Eyebrows.

And in the end, I heard from bi Marni if you got sick and fainted in the street.The answer really made me limp for a moment.

Thinking about how you were doing at that time? what really happened. I wasn't calm till nightfall.

My unwarranted worry made me think, what really happened to me?

Why am I so worried about him?

What's so special about her, that it makes me like this.

When Seeing Eyebrows back in a fine condition, it made me a little more relieved, to unconsciously make my body embrace it tightly.

Women must be very surprised by my short-sightedness, but I don't care, at least I can feel relieved by seeing it okay.

A Month Later,

Our meeting which despite being only 30 days, really left a lot of sweet memories with him.

Even I painstakingly thought of a way on how to still work with Alis.I had offered her to work at my house she could also live in a fairly spacious back-house pavilion with her son. but unfortunately, Alis refused.

I think not all women would be happy to be treated like that, get everything easily.but Eyebrows are very other, he holds his principles firmly. things that made me more interested in him.

"Yes, if he does not want to, you can not make it san" continued Dr. Hasan when I expressed my wish.

"The doctor looks for a way dong, so I have a logical reason for Alis to keep working here" I pressed to stare fiercely at him.

"You think all women can submit to you. I think, the woman's eyebrows that hold to the principle.she already knows what you want.So she avoids," doctor Hasan seemed to think.

"Dodging? so the doctor thought, I'm overreacting? what harm? I just don't want him and his son to be in trouble. That's all!" obviously

"I think your intention is not just that, so Eyebrows refuse outright!" insinuations.

"You've been rejected san," the lead held back laughter.

My cynical doctor Hasan lyrics. His words really piss me off.

"What about therapy? the doctor said, I have to do therapy, right?" I smiled triumphantly.I finally found the right way to keep him working here.

"I want the doctor to arrange all the procedures.assure the Eyebrows, if I really need a nurse like him." I asked

Honestly for that one thing, I was a little worried. My aunt could do anything to make her not feel at home living here.

"I'll make sure the Eyebrows are safe, the doctor is calm" I'm sure.

After a long conversation, finally doctor Hasan prepared everything so that I can do therapy at home.including renting some equipment from the hospital which is quite expensive.

For the sake of the woman we love, isn't a sacrifice necessary?

the woman we love

Doing therapy that is indeed draining.in addition must take care of some office work that accumulates makes me really exhausted.

Nita sent a lot of files this afternoon, making me have to focus more on work. I am one of those people who are disciplined on the job.

There can be nothing wrong or less than my work.

I don't want to disappoint my clients who already believe in the company that papa founded.

"Sorry to interrupt," The voice of aunt ayu who suddenly entered my study room left me a little shocked.

I looked over briefly and then switched back to my laptop.

"What about yesterday's meeting? aunt heard you canceled a contract with one of the contractors? wh why? you want to stop Auntie's step again?" insinuations.

I was silent for a moment, then looked up and looked at him lightly.

"The construction of the factory has spent a lot of money. while we ourselves still have not returned the losses experienced by the company? I will continue construction of the factory next year." I explained.

"You're crazy! aunty has spent all her energy and mind on the project.if you want to postpone." protested.

"Tante thinks I'm not thinking about all the company's losses? who has been struggling to build a company? aunty can only squander money just like when papa was alive." I stared fiercely at him.

"Yes, aunty is indeed fiddling with your papa money, but you know who ruined your papa's career? your own mother.It's been lucky she married your mother, in fact even had an affair with,-"

"STOP! auntie do not need to discuss the problem. everything is not proven! mama didn't have an affair with Hasan's doctor! doctor Hasan himself admitted it to papa." I snapped annoyed.

Aunty Ayu smirked cynically.as if happy for having provoked my emotions.

"Excuse me, here's the coffee!" bi Marni's voice broke our silence for a moment.

"You can speak so when your own heart tries to deny!" his hiss while out of my work room just like that.

Bi Marni looked at me softly. Many times he saw all my debates with aunty ayu. sometimes I was very ashamed of him.

"Already! do not put it to the heart! Mother is so nature." bi Marni tried to calm me down as if she knew what had just happened.

I stared at my laptop screen. All those accusations always echo in my ears. I'm trying to trust Doctor Hasan, he can't betray me, neither can he betray me, nor my mom, who I trust so much that she won't cheat on me.

Bi Marni once said, maybe aunty Ayu envies mama. because after marriage, papa's affection and attention as her brother is divided and papa is more concerned with mama. therefore he created rumors that are not appropriate to mama and papa.

I don't know,...

It's just that my heart always hurts when I hear that someone is always cornering my mom.

For me, my mom is still the best mom I have, even though her affection is only until I am a dozen years old.
