ARGUS

Chapter 63

'Thank you Arzu, so much love around you'

A burly man walked over to the last vortex of the little friend whom he had considered to be his own sister. To him it was like a dream. The friend who once reigned in his heart is now really gone and will never return.

"Why are you leaving so soon? We just found happiness. You have a good husband and love you so much. And I've also got a very beautiful wife who loves me very much."

"I always thought we'd be together and see our children grow up Monik. But what a force, God loves you more." the man stared at the carving of the Monik name so intimately.

"You know, Anggi is pregnant right now. I thought I would say this with happiness. But baby, this is very painful Monik." he said gripping the tombstone firmly.

"I wish you'd always be happy by His side. Goodbye my sister." the man immediately left. There are no tears. He knew it was all useless. Tears will not change everything.

In the hospital. Precisely in the NICU room, the beautiful doctor walked slowly to two incubators containing two tiny babies who were asleep. His smile expands. He checked all the tools very carefully.

"They are very similar, funny." he muttered while confirming the position of the two babies.

Chequek! The beautiful doctor was extremely shocked when someone entered abruptly. But his shock was lost when he found out who had entered.

"Doctor Arzu, want to see your two daughters?" ask the woman gently. But not the answer he got, but a fierce gaze from Arzu. The smile on his lips instantly disappeared.

"How is he doing?" the flat voice managed to make the beautiful doctor again surprised.

"They're growing well, if in the next few weeks things get better. They can go straight home." replied the beautiful doctor gently. Then the two went back to silence. No more talking. Only the sound of the hospital device broke the silence.

"James!" The beautiful doctor who was examining several tools was very surprised when his name was called.

"Yes" he said confused.

"Why should you take care of them? Are there no other doctors?" the question was like a dagger that hit Cella's chest. Cella was silent for a long time. It was not that he could not answer, it was just that the question managed to hurt his heart.

"Sorry doc, I'm an obstetrician and a child. It is my duty to treat patients. For other doctors there is, but the head of the hospital threw this responsibility on me. If you feel objection, please complain to Mr. Firman. Excuse me." said Cella. He looked at Arzu at a glance, then left Arzu who was still staring at his two daughters.

Cella taps her chest that feels tight. He's leaning behind the door. Is this what it feels like if we are not needed by the people we love? Really painful. Her tears that had been dry for a long time, for some reason now started to flow back.

"I'm just doing my job" he said. He rubbed his tears violently. Without a second thought, he immediately left the room. His job is also done.

Arzu still faithfully stared at her two little princesses meticulously. That face, so similar to the late Monik. They actually inherited her mother's face. Only their eyes were similar to Arzu's.

"You reneged on your Monik promise, you said that our son would look like me. But in fact, they are exactly you" said Arzu.

"I'm not sure I can take good care of them, I still need you Monik" Arzu said. The clear details have now escaped. Arzu wiped away her tears. Then he immediately left the room.

In the afternoon, the hospital began to fall. Only a few doctors are still there.

"Doctor Cella, Mr. Firman called you in his room" said the nurse. Cella smiled and nodded.

"Sit down" said Firman without taking his eyes off the laptop. Cella sat down in front of the owner of the hospital. He already knows what will be said. That's why he looks calm.

"Doctor Cella, you know why I called you?" ask the Word while closing the laptop. He clasped his hands together while looking at Cella.

"I know sir. How did you respond, father?"

"What's the reason you're backing out? Not as usual. Is it because of personal problems?" the question surprised Cella.

"No sir, it was my decision. I think there are many better doctors. I just can't handle a lot of patients." Cella's alibi. He bit his lips because he was confused about what else to say.

The word breathed. He looked at the doctor's trust.

"You have to be professional Cella, work has nothing to do with personal matters. So I refused your request. Do the job as usual." said the Word firmly. Cella remained silent. He was confused what else to say. He wanted to scream. But that's impossible for him to do.

"Okay sir, thank you. Then I say goodbye first. Assalamualaikum."

"Wa'alaikumusalam."

'What should I do? Arzu would never like me. She would also very much mind if I took care of her two children. What do I have to do, God?'

Cella sighed with anger. He walked straight into his room. His head was bowed in lethargy. Really tiring.

Arzu took off the snelli and placed it on the sofa. He dropped his body violently. Eyes closed. Today everything is not going well. He had to change the schedules of some patients because of his unfavorable condition.

"Arzu." call someone on the doorstep. Arzu opened her eyes. He saw his brother standing there. Elya walked over to his sister.

"You why? Less healthy?" elya asked, touching Arzu's forehead. Arzu shook his head and confirmed his sitting position.

"I'm fine" he said flatly. Elya looked at Arzu's face fixedly. The black circle in Arzu's eyes was so clear. His cheeks also looked more slender. The fine feathers had almost filled part of his face.

"So I don't know how you feel. But don't drag yourself like this. Look, you're like an unkempt man. You still have two daughters to take care of. If you're like this, then what about them?"

"Don't let Monik be disappointed, he's been fighting to give birth to two beautiful princesses for you. You should take good care of Arzu. A father must be strong. Be a backer for them."

"Sister always wishes you the best. Don't keep going like this. You have the right to continue your life. Youunderstand?"

Arzu stared at the brother's netra so closely. A warmth flowed down in his veins. Arzu hugged the older brother quite tightly. Elya stroked Arzu's shoulder so gently.

"Thank you brother. Help me get through it all." said Arzu so bitterly. Elya understood how his sister felt at this moment. Today is exactly one week away Monik. Even Arzu still could not accept the circumstances.

"Tonight Mama wants you to go home. Mom misses us all. We also have to think about and discuss Arza and Elsha's pending marriage" said Elya released Arzu's embrace. Elya wiped away Arzu's tears gently.

"You're so ugly. This is not sister" said Elya tidying Arzu's messy hair. Since childhood, Elya has indeed become a backup for Arzu. Even though Arzu's attitude is so cold. But if there was a problem, Elya was the first person he would tell. For Arzu, Elya has the gentle nature of the mother. Although Elya is not your biological child, but Elya has a good upbringing from Inna.

'You are like a mother to me, brother. Not that I don't trust my mom. But mom has a lot of kids who need a backrest. But you, only I can make you a backrest.'
