A Love That Will Not Change

Anxious and Worrying

Sophia now felt a great unease and worry in her heart. It may even outweigh the anxiety a biological mother has over her child. His affection and love for Mateo is beyond doubt. His form of concern and concern for Mateo is a mirror of a mother's heart to her child. Not only to Mateo but also to the other children of the Panti, his love never ends. Throughout the journey his heart was not calm. Fortunately, his boss did not stop him from leaving early.

Stephen, who lives alone in his office, seems to be thinking about something. Yes, he was thinking about Sophia. Wasn't Mr. Robert one of his trusted managers at the company, who had told him before, if the assistant was still single and never married.? But how did he say his son was sick?

Or did he hear wrong?

Ah there's no way he's heard wrong, his ears are not that old so he can't hear well what Mr. Robert said the other day.

Could it be that there was something that was not properly known to him? Perhaps she also kept a secret about her life.

Then he contacted his manager and asked him to come to his room immediately.

Sophia has arrived at the hospital. The hospital is one of the best hospitals in the city. It is a good and pleasant service for many of his patients. Maria's mother had sent a message to the name of the room where Mateo was examined by the hospital.

With a hasty step Sophia searched the room in question. It just so happened that there was a doctor still looking young who saw Sophia like she was looking for something. Sophia was still confused looking for the room. Then Sophia spoke.

" Excuse me, may I help you? bargain with hospitality and tenderness.

Sophia turned around and looked at the doctor.

" Doctor, I'm looking for Melati's room, where my son is being treated! he said with his restless face.

" Oh, the room is east of this room. Later you go straight and turn to the right of the room there." the doctor pointed in the direction in question.

" Thank you doctor! reply Sophia and leave the doctor immediately. The doctor stared at Sophia's back until she disappeared from his sight.

From a distance he saw Mother Maria who was in anxiety, standing in front of the door of the room where Mateo was examined by a doctor.

Sophia hastened her steps to get to Miss Maria's place.

" Mom, what about Mateo? Is she okay? Sophia asked timidly while holding the old woman's arm. His breathing was still dull as a result of running along the hallway earlier.

" They're still checking Mateo inside. I've been waiting since, but the doctor hasn't come out either." replied Mother Mary with a sad look that couldn't be hidden. On the elucidated shoulders of Sophia so that the young woman was calmer and did not have to worry at all. Mateo was rarely ill and never went to the hospital. This was her first time getting into the hospital and having to be treated. Sophia was worried that Mateo would be scared in there all by herself.

" How's my son doc? Is he okay, Doc? Sophia asked impatiently.

The doctor smiled at Sophia's question.

" You're Mateo's mother? Sophia nodded her head.

"You don't have to worry, Mateo is fine now. She's just a normal fever." tell the doctor to calm Sophia's agitated heart.

" Thank God! mother Maria delightedly.

Sophia smiled happily. He held the middle-aged woman with a happy feeling. Praise God Mateo did not experience any severe pain.

" You can go in to accompany him just that he is still sleeping because of the influence of the drugs he is drinking" said the doctor again. After saying that, he went from there.

" I'll excuse you first, may the child continue to be healthy and grow well" said the doctor.

" Thank you so much doctor! reply Sophia and Mother Mary almost simultaneously. The two of them immediately entered the room where Mateo was being treated. Inside the all-white room, Mateo lay weak. His white face looked pale. An infusion needle hose runs in her tiny hand which may be quite painful for a child her age.

Seeing Mateo's condition like that made both of Sophia's clear eyes radiate. The poor boy who suffered. Whether or not both of his biological parents could sense what Mateo was feeling right now? Or they have completely forgotten it. Sophia recalled when she was a child. When she gets sick, her parents will take care of her and take care of her. Although he had to lose the affection of his parents so quickly when he was 12 years old due to an accident. But he will never forget the affection his parents gave him.

While this poor boy who does not understand anything, who still needs the love and affection of his parents must be separated from his father and mother even from his family. He must suffer the pain he will remember for the rest of his life.

Just one night Mateo stayed in the hospital, he was allowed to return home by the doctor. From the results of the examination, his doctor said if Mateo did not have a serious illness. Yesterday's fever was just a normal fever. It was possible that his fever was caused by his feelings and thoughts that were remembering his parents. Maybe he misses them. Maria and Sophia's mother understood the meaning of the doctor's explanation. But the doctor still advised them to do medical check-ups to ensure Mateo's health. They are now in Sophia's house. Mateo immediately laid her in his room. He looked calmer, fresh and relaxed.

Hospitals are not a fun place for children. With a hospital carbolic scent that is disliked by their small noses. Many adults do not like hospitals. Sophia immediately prepared Mateo's favorite food, so that when she wakes up she can immediately eat it. In order to focus on keeping Mateo, Sophia asked permission for 1 day leave from the boss. Thankfully, Stephen is an understanding boss. From the outside it looks cold and arrogant. But when it comes to matters of a humanitarian nature such as that experienced by Sophia, Stephen does not need to be invited to compromise. His heart was not made of stone.

Because basically Stephen's heart can also be very sentimental and smooth but still look manly. May be called he is a humanist "macho" man. As a wise man once said, "wax as a candle and harder than a diamond, more loving than a mother and more cruel than an enemy."

Especially after knowing the true story of Mr. Robert about the personal life of a Sophia. His little heart held a desire. And whatever his wish was as a Stephen he would have fulfilled it.
