I walked around uneasily. Behind the curtain that was in front of my eyes, I did not know where the veiled woman was. In my heart I want to be angry with Romi. The 40-year-old man who almost hit the woman.
"Sir Fikri?"
I looked towards Romi. I'm waist-racked. I looked at him sharply. Romi is a private secretary who has worked with me for a long time and makes the fewest mistakes in taking care of things.
"I'm sorry Mr. Fikri. I know you'll be angry."
"Yes. I'm disappointed in you. You know what the consequences would be if you hit him?!"
"I'm sorry." I saw Romi bowing his face. He looks scared of me.
"I got word that my wife was going to give birth in Jakarta. I'm so anxious that I'm disrupting my concentration while driving your car, sir."
Then I fell silent. I didn't think his wife would give birth. Now I understand why he made a mistake today.
Feelings of emotion, anger, and disappointment instantly disappeared within me. Right now all I feel is compassion and sympathy.
"Go back to Jakarta. Accompany your wife." I said at last.
Romi looked surprised. He lifted his face and looked at me in disbelief.
"But sir, how about-"
"I can take care of it. Your wife needs you." Cut me up faster.
He seemed to think for a moment. I knew she was so heavy just to leave me and her job, but I realized. As a boss I can't be selfish. And also, he had a wife who currently needed him.
Ah thinking about it, I can only stare at the smell of my life. If Devika is still alive. Maybe I will also be able to feel like Romi's current position. The husband who must be at the side of his wife when she wants to give birth.
I ignored Romi for a moment. I called someone to take care of Romi's return in a moment. A few minutes later, I looked back at his face.
"Wait for the hospital lobby. A few minutes away my assistant picks you up."
"Miss Afrah's family?"
I looked towards the voice. A hijab nurse stood beside the patient's curtain after opening it. Right next to the veiled woman who is now lying down.
I looked at Romi again. "I'm sorry I had to go to the nurse. Careful streets. May your wife's birth be smooth and safe."
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Fikri. Asalamualaikum."
"Wa'alaikumussalam."
I immediately turned my body back to the treatment. I stood before him politely.
"Sorry sir, can I help you sir?"
I'm nodding. "Is it true that this female patient is named Afrah?"
"It's right sir. Called Afrah. You who? His family or lukewarm"
"I'm not who he is. I helped this woman. Is the disease severe?" ask me without further ado.
"After being examined Ms. Afrah had symptoms of typhoid. The doctor just took a blood sample to make sure."
"Oh God."
"Be careful Miss. Your condition is weak."
"My head is dizzy."
"Yes I understand. The doctor has taken a sample of your blood. Please wait a minute."
I saw the woman look confused. Then accidentally our gazes finally met. And so quickly he lowered his face.
"Sorry sir, excuse me."
I just nodded politely. Then he turned to look at her again. And, she looked back at me then lowered her face. I took my step forward and stood near him.
"Asalamualaikum."
"Wa'alaikumussalam."
I was silent for a moment. His voice was very soft and smooth behind his veil. Indirectly made me more curious. I looked at him who was still down and then turned to look at his two hands playing fingers. He seems nervous and nervous. Or maybe just my feelings.
"I'm sorry for the accident that my assistant almost bumped into you."
I was silent for a moment. Waiting for a response from him that was silent.
"What..you, is it okay?" ask me carefully.
"I.. "
She's staring. It was only a second and then he put his face down again.
"I'm a little dizzy. God willing, I will be fine. Thank you for helping me."
My phone is heard. I apologized a little to him for taking this call for a while.
I stared at my phone screen. The name of a colleague who would meet me and was already waiting in the meeting room at the hotel. I talked for a while so it took me less than 15 minutes.
Then I looked at the woman who had been caught looking at me for the umpteenth time. He hurried back to his face.
What's wrong with her?
And my curiosity for him grew bigger. If I could be honest as a man, of course I wonder how the woman looks behind her veil which may be when viewed from both eyes is very beautiful.
