Woman's Suit For Doctor

Woman's Suit For Doctor
I'm His Mother, and I'm Right to My Son!


Arumi's steps stopped for a moment in front of a simple house. His gaze swept around. The old house that he left a year ago now looks unkempt and filled with sawang. Dry leaves were strewn on the doorstep. There were only a few old things that had not been thrown away. 


"Are you sick again until you don't have time to clean the house?" arumi muttered a little astonished.  


At her age, the mother was someone who always kept clean. Although their home is small and simple, mothers never leave it in a dirty and dusty state. 


Arumi accelerated towards the door. Several times he knocked and called his mother. But there was no answer from inside. 


"Hey, Arumi. You're home yet?" The greeting managed to distract Arumi. He turned his body to look at the figure behind. There's Grandma Marina, their old neighbor. 


"Grandma, how are you? Long time no see." Arumi immediately hugged the old woman. Grandma Marina used to help them when they were in trouble. Especially when Arumi went through a difficult time during her mother was afflicted with serious illness. 


"Where have you been all this time? Why did it suddenly disappear without any news?" He looked at Arumi from the tip of the foot to the end of the head. Arumi who is now very much different from Arumi before leaving first. More beautiful and well dressed. 


"I have a job that cannot be left behind, Grandma," he replied. "Oh yeah, why doesn't it seem like there's anyone inside? Where's my mom?" 


Wrinkled forehead Grandma marina wrinkled deep. The look on his face depicted a surprised and confused expression. 


"Your mother? Don't you know yet?" 


Instantly Arumi's body stiffened. The faint smile that had adorned his lips slowly disappeared. From the look on the face and also the ambiguous speech of Grandma Marina as if explaining that something was wrong had happened. 


"No idea what, Grandma?" 


"Your mother died almost a year ago. He can't stay in the hospital." 


For a while time seemed to be at a standstill for Arumi. He stared at the spot and felt a drowning start to spread all over his body. The bitter reality he heard forced his pair of beautiful eyeballs to melt the clear liquid. 


Arumi tried not to swallow the words she had just heard. His whole heart wished Grandma Marina was just joking. 


"What does grandma mean? Before coming back here Yuna said my mom was fine!"


The corner of my eyes was Grandma Marina wrinkled. With his old body, he tried to hold Arumi who was like he was about to collapse. 


"Your mother is dead, Arumi. But why did Yuna say she was okay? He was at your mother's funeral." 


That instant also Arumi felt a tightness surround his chest. Not yet dry of his heart wounds over the separation with Rafli and Aika, Yuna— his evil twin brother returned to scratch new wounds by deceiving him. 


During this one year, Yuna shut down Arumi's access to communicate with her mother. So that Arumi does not know exactly how the development of the health of the mother. All he knew, before parting ways with Yuna, he said that their mother was fine. 


"Why did Yuna lie to me all this time? He told me our mother was fine" said Arumi. 


Arumi felt all her strength being plucked from her body due to the pain that hit her head. Suddenly everything seemed to be spinning in his view. Then darkness began to envelop, until his body had to collapse. 


Arumi was unconscious again.

Arumi has not been able to stem the flood of tears in front of the mother's belly button. For almost an hour she cried nonstop. Regretting everything that happened to him during this year. 


In order to save his mother's life, he was willing to become a surrogate mother. In fact, Yuna had deceived him so vilely and foolishly that Arumi just believed. 


"I'm sorry, Mom. I should have accompanied Mom at the last moment." 


Arumi was still in tears as Grandma Marina rubbed her shoulders. The old woman still faithfully accompanied and was reluctant to leave her alone. 


"Calm down, Arumi. At least your mother doesn't feel sick anymore. He's calm now." 


Trying to quell the tears, Arumi felt that Grandma Marina's speech had a point. His mother no longer needed to be tormented with the pain that had been tormenting him. Arumi saw for herself how much her mother suffered every day.


In a matter of minutes, Arumi had been able to unravel his grief. Slowly her crying subsided.


"Oh yeah, I found this letter in your mother's closet. After the funeral, I cleaned your house. Maybe this is an important letter" Grandma Marina said.


Arumi grabbed the letter and opened it. His pair of eyes re-melted the clear liquid as he read the words written there. 


How not, the letter contained a proposal that came from the Alvaro family that was actually intended for him, not for Yuna. 


"Yuna lied to everyone. It wasn't him who was betrothed to Rafli, it was me."


Arumi rubbed both sides of her cheeks wet with tears.


"I have to tell Rafli about this. I gave birth to Aika and I deserve my son."
