Almira's Regret

Doctor Fahmi's Application

Turns out you're good at making a slander, Fahmi."

"Oh yeah? I need to give you something other than this evidence. Maybe about the destruction of my household?"

"Try it if you have it" challenge Nafa.

"Really?" Fahmi opens a gallery and shows the sceneroot of Nafa's conversation with someone. Show it to Nafa.

"You?" Nafa pointed at Fahmi's face. Nafa's face looked Red withstanding the turmoil of anger.

"Nafa, I already know a lot about you. Stop getting here. Mira won't interfere with your marriage. You and Dion will stay together. You won't lose anything" Fahmi said. The man got up, "I'm going to marry Mira" he continued. The man left Nafa with all his desires still hidden.

Arriving home, Nafa immediately rampages exactly the little boy who sulks because the desire is not fulfilled. Even worse, young children can still be persuaded and diverted to want while Nafa is adamant about wanting Fahmi.

Dion who had also just arrived home had to see a terrifying sight. What should be seen when returning home is the beauty of the wife and the tranquility of her that happened just the opposite.

"What the fuck is this, Nafa?"

Nafa stared dislikefully at Dion's question. She approached and slapped her husband. "It's all because of you."

"Hey," Dion snapped after the wife's palm touched her cheek hard. "What am I, huh. Go home from work, look at this house, you slap me and then blame. What am I doing, what?" Dion was emotionally disturbed.

"That woman, Dion," cried Nafa. "You and that woman have shattered my dreams. She shouldn't be anywhere near Fahmi if you don't impregnate her."

"Fahmi again?" Dion returned the screams of his wife. "Fahmi again Fahmi. You never think about my feelings, Nafa? Should everything in the world be focused only on Fahmi and Fahmi." Dion ruffled his hair in frustration.

Again he felt defeated far by Fahmi. That feeling became a spark of gasoline that ignited Dion's hatred towards his mother's siblings.

Two parents who are ambitious to get their own desires, ignore the feelings of the child who sees them. The little boy sat behind the sofa and covered his ears.

Arriving at Fahmi's house, he immediately cleaned himself up. When he came out of the bathroom, the boy was waiting for him in bed.

"Dad said baby sister Mira was out. Why wasn't I invited to see it?" Syafa shakes his head.

"Syafa wants to see Kak Mira's baby brother?" fahmi asked while pulling the clothes from inside the closet.

"He's dad. Only Adel's father and aunt saw. I when?"

"Wait for me to put on some clothes first. I'll answer after." Fahmi reentered the bathroom and put on his clothes instead.

"Ish is always like that," Fahmi can still hear the nagging of the boy who makes himself smile.

After his clothes were complete, Fahmi met Syafa who was frowning and folded his hands on his chest. The child's behavior reminds him of the mother who always asked him to get married. Because the genas Fahmi pinched the cheek of the child.

Syafa's breathing moved quickly. The boy glared in annoyance.

"Alright, alright. Don't shave father," Fahmi said, raising his hand. "Dad will bring brother Mira to live again with us. Shafa wants Mjra's brother to stay here again?"

"Seriously dad?" syafa asked as he got off the bed and jumped in his arms.

Fahmi. They descend into the living room with Syafa in a sling. The boy repeatedly floated a kiss on the cheek of the father. Repeatedly thank you for your brother Mira will stay here again.

The roar of the car that sounded indicated that Adelia had just returned home. The happy sparkle was clearly visible on the face of the younger brother.

"Auntie Adelia's so happy dad?" whispered Shafa but it can still be in with by the people talked about.

Adelia laughed as she teased her nephew. "Yes dong, Aunt Adel has met her baby sister, sister Mira. Ih kasian Syafa hasn't seen it, 'ih kasian."

Syafa's lips immediately pursed, then steady the father. "I want to meet Mira's sister and baby sister now. I want Mira's brother brought in now, Aunt Adelia can't see him."

Fahmi and Adelia couldn't help but laugh at Syafa's behavior.

"Ok, that means now I have to go back to the hospital. Shafa wait at home ok?" Fahmi takes the child down from his lap. "Can you go to the hospital again?" Fahmi makes sure the child does not mind being left behind again.

"So, Mira's brother was brought back here."

Fahmi returns to the hospital but he does not find Mira in his ward. Ardab also tidsk ads there is only a mobile phone located on the nightstand. He immediately contacted Ardan but the call was not raised. Anxious, he headed straight for the NICU room.

He stopped worrying when he saw Mira in the NICU room accompanied by a nurse.

"How long should my child be treated here?"

"Depending on the baby's readiness to deal with the surrounding temperature, ma'am. Bjasnsya sda which is only in the care of one week, ten days there are even up to twenty-eight days or up to months," explained the nurse.

Mira stared sadly, the baby she should have used to hold and the nurse had to endure with the tools.

Mira did not refuse.

Fahmi also helps her to lie back on top of the gurney.

"Where is Ardan?" asked Fahmi who had not seen the old man since coming back.

"Papa went back to the hotel to take a shower. Maybe dinner or rest."

Longevity because the discussed emerged from the door carrying some tentengan. "It just so happens that there's a doctor, and I'll bring you dinner. Mira still has to eat food from the hospital. Let's get healthy fast."

"Well bother, sir. Lucky also not to eat from home," joked doctor Fahmi.

"Waahhh luck to me. So the food wasn't in vain" Ardan laughed and handed Fahmi a box of food.

"Sir, I'll let you interrupt your dinner for a bit" Fahmi said as she stared at Mira and Ardan alternately.

"Is anything important, Doc? Please."

"I'm sorry if this is disrespectful in your opinion, Mr. Ardan." Fahmi takes a breath, though he's been talking to a lot of different people, but talking to Ardan really makes him nervous. Moreover, Mira was looking at him. "Allow me to always be your daughter's protector, sir. All this time I found it hard to protect her because of obstructed status."

Ardan smiled as he thought of the meaning of Fahmi's words. He did not interrupt and let Fahmi convey his purpose first.

A small pink box was taken out of Fahmi's pocket.

"I ask for your blessing and pleasure to marry me to Almira muntamah bint Vishnu Ardan, sir."

Mira shut her mouth. Touched and disbelieving the man who always helped him propose to his father directly. A very genlte man. What he expected to do such a thing was Dion.

Ardan looked at Mira and Fahmi alternately. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He could've approved but Mira wanted to.

"I'm so flattered by your manly attitude, Doc. What a man like this I would expect to be a son-in-law. You know for yourself how Mira, and my life. Have you considered that."

Fahmi nodded, "already," he replied so steadily.

Ardan and Fahmi turned their gazes to the still dumb-ass woman.

"How, Mir. Do you want to be married by Fahmi's doctor?"

"I'm .. I don't know, Pa."

Mira's reply did not make Fahmi bow her head. He still holds his face and smiles. He would be heartened if Mira refused. He is not someone whose desire must always be achieved. The world will not collapse just because of rejection. It is natural though not denied that the desire to be accepted is much greater.

"Doctor Fahmi is a good man, Pa. I feel ashamed to be his companion. I don't have the same grades as Fahmi's doctor" Mira said.

Does this mean he was rejected.

"The best judge is God, we are the same before him. There is nothing higher and lower. Both were created from the ground. If Dek Mira thinks I'm better than you it's not wrong, because the deck of Mira never sees my ugliness directly. God is so good at closing my disgrace tight."

Mira's quiet.

"Papa never failed to protect you, Mira. Now papa hopes doctor Fahmi will be a good priest and protector for you."

"But I was it ... " Mira hesitates to continue her sentence. "Wouldn't Fahmi's doctor be ashamed to be with me? Even the doctor knows himself ... What is this as a form of substitution of responsibilities as you say?"

"Not that I don't see any ugliness, Dek Mira, but I'm not necessarily good either. When it comes to substituting responsibility, no. It is purely because of my desire, from within my own heart. I want Deck Mira to be Syafa's mother."

Mira was worried. On the one hand, the character of doctor Fahmi is a character who meets the dreams of every woman. On the other hand he was still being overshadowed by Dion.

Ardan looked at Fahmi, so he felt bad.

"Waiting for Dek Mira to find an answer. How about I eat first, Mr. Ardan. The worms inside my stomach were already demoed," chuckled Fahmi trying to melt the atmosphere.

"Oh come on, you're hungry too" Ardan replied inadvertently causing laughter.

"I'm sorry, Dek we have to have different food first" said Fahmi.

The two adult men of different ages looked compact. They even discussed something other than the atmosphere just now. The laughter from the two made Mira's lips smile.

Without them realizing outside the door there was someone who was eavesdropping on their conversation. The man clenched his fists again when he heard laughter from his one womb brother.

Dion envies what Fahmi gets.

I wouldn't expect you to be happy, Mom. We should both feel pain.
