After Parting Five Years

The Sweet Girl

Alin looked at Doctor Adrian's face with a sharp look. Meanwhile, Doctor Adrian looked at Alin with full supplication. In fact, his hand had already pinched Alin's small waist.

Alin smiled awkwardly at the girl named Bianca.

"Beautiful girl like you, can you find another man? No need to disturb people's girlfriends," said Alin, fortunately acting is so good. With just a few words, the girl named Bianca immediately believed.

Bianca's face flushed red, her eyes began to glaze over.

"Adrian, you're so mean!" The girl ran away leaving Adrian still hugging Alin's waist.

"He's gone. No need to act anymore" Alin said. Adrian chuckles and releases his hand from Alin's waist.

"Thank you for the help. Next time, if you need my help, I'll be happy to help you" said Dr. Adrian, then went to his private room.

Alin looked at the back of Doctor Adrian who started to move away. "I think, someday I will need his help," said Alin Lirih. He walked into Naufal's room.

Naufal was so happy when the doctor allowed him to come home tonight. Naufal has been very homesick with friends and school.

"Mommy, why isn't Rafa coming?" naufal asked while looking for Rafa's figure, but the man was nowhere to be seen.

"Om Rafa's busy, Nau. But surely he'll see Nau again."

"Mommy, why don't you just marry Rafa Om. I want a father like Om Rafa," said Naufal innocently, then only responded to a small laugh by Alin.

"Nau is a child, don't talk no yes, baby," said Alin softly. He was still packing some dirty clothes belonging to Naufal and Santi. After that, he will see the doctor once again to ask for the results of Santi's medical examination.

"You wait here, Mami will go to the doctor first," he said then headed to the doctor's room.

Arriving Alin in the room of the doctor who handled Naufal, he was immediately welcome to enter and immediately received the results of Santi's medical examination.

"One more time, I'm sorry, ma'am. Bu Santi's spinal cord also did not match Naufal's. The madam could ask her father to check, so that Naufal could be operated on immediately. Mumpung has not been a severe stage," said the young doctor.

Alin breathed heavily. He was silent for quite a while. Of course his brain was thinking about how he could examine Kenzi's spinal cord without being caught by the man.

"Is there no other way?" ask Alin expectantly.

"Of course we will do chemotherapy so that Naufal disease does not develop quickly. But, the path of healing is through surgery, ma'am. Or, it could be with the baby's umbilical cord .. his sister's umbilical cord," said the doctor hesitated.

Ever since Naufal entered the hospital, he had already noticed Alin's movements. He always sees Alin commuting alone unaccompanied. That's why, he was so curious about Alin's reaction after learning that the baby's umbilical cord could treat blood cancer. But it seemed like her premonition and thinking were right, Alin did not have a husband at the moment.

"Thank you, Doc for the information." Alin came out of the room in a hurry. For now, he doesn't want to think much. Importantly, he would try to divide the time, and spend more time with his son. That was his promise.

The sun appeared timidly. The sky was covered in black clouds. The morning was not so bright, but did not diminish the spirit in Naufal. The four-year-old boy was already wearing a school uniform, while Alin was cooking provisions for his son.

"Mommy, can we go to the playground for the weekend?" naufal asked expectantly.

"Of course, honey. It's hard for me to take a weekend off. We're gonna have fun!" alin exclaimed as he pinched Naufal's chubby cheek.

They left for Naufal school in an online taxi. Arriving at school, Naufal immediately got out of the taxi and approached a girl who was so sweet. Alin followed Naufal from behind.

"Mommy, introduce. She is Melody, my friend. Melody, this is my Mama" Naufal said.

"Hello, Aunt. I'm Melodi, my friend Nau. I was very worried when I heard the news that Nau was sick" Melodi said.

A very sweet and smart boy.

"Melody, tumben once you arrive early." Naufal asked with a funny expression.

"Yes, today I was escorted by uncle. He's my mother's cousin. Huh, she was so annoying, so early in the morning told me to go to school. He said he would be late for the office if he waited too long" Melodi explained.

Alin laughed when he saw Melodi's extremely adorable expression. Suddenly he remembered the figure of Kenzi, ah, the man must be exactly the same as his workaholic Melodi uncle, Inner Alin.

"Yes, hurry up and come in. My mom is also going to work. Nau, study hard!" Alin kissed Naufal's forehead gently and then returned to the taxi.

Elsewhere, Kenzi was tidying up the important files that had been piled up on the table.

"Boss, Miss Melodi's lunchbox is left in the car. I just drove him to school" Axel said.

Kenzi glanced for a moment, he seemed unconcerned by Axel's insignificant remark.

"The boss should know what I saw just now" Axel said excitedly. He hoped, after he said this, he would get a weekly bonus.

"It doesn't matter! Can you bring me my schedule this morning?"

"But, Boss. I think the boss would be happy to hear this news. Just now, at Miss Melodi's school, I saw Miss Alin. He seemed to be dropping off a boy" Alex said quickly.

Suddenly, Kenzi's hand that was flipping through the file was stopped.

"Say it again!" exclaim Kenzi.

"Miss Alin, Boss. I saw Miss Alin at that school. It seems, he's delivering his son."

The son? Kenzi's heart ached like it had just been shot by a bullet.

He did not want to think badly, but his heart remained unsettled. "Has Alin been married and had children? But who's that guy? He was never seen going out with a man. Is that kid a bastard? Ah, goddamn. Why does that woman always make my brain hot." Kenzi.

At this time, he was already unable to concentrate on checking his files. His brain was currently thinking only of Alin. To be honest, he hated Alin a lot, but he couldn't stop thinking about her either.

"Nau, you said the weekend was going to the playground?" ask Melody. The sweet daughter looked adorable, she was very fond of Naufal because Naufal was a smart and polite child.

"Yes, Mommy and I will go together."

"Ah, what a pity my mother is pregnant. Though I also want to go to the playground," said Melodi with a sad face.

"You take your uncle with you, who knows he'll drive you" Naufal suggested.

Melody breathed a tired sigh. "Ah, that uncle. She ... where you may want. He's too stiff."
