184. Take Home

Ustadz Akbar and Rex were still chatting casually in front of Elvira's in-room.

" So we still have PR to help Ms. Elvira, Ustadz...?" ask Rex again to confirm.

" Yes Mas. Is Mas Rex on another assignment...?" ask ustadz Akbar.

" There is no Ustadz. Insha Allah We can solve everything before there is another task of the country for Me." Rex said quickly.

" Thank God, thank you, Rex. To be honest I was more comfortable when it was Mas Rex who helped Elvira. In addition to the status of Mas Rex who is a member of the TNI, Mas Rex has also known Elvira before because he had served in Africa. Everyone knows what the harsh and barren conditions of Africa are. If people can survive together in a team it is a miracle. Moreover, Elvira is a woman who has many weaknesses and moods that go up and down. But seeing Mas Rex and the team as well as Elvira can work well together, that is what makes me salute and proud.", said Ustadz Akbar.

Ustadz Akbar's words made Rex smile. To be honest, he also felt Elvira was not a troublesome girl. It was helped by the presence of Elvira.

" All team members are the people of Ustadz's choice. We can easily work together because we have the same mission and vision when we go there." Rex said.

" Yes Mas Rex..," said Ustadz Akbar.

Suddenly Rex's phone rang. He smiled when he saw the name 'heart doctor' on his phone screen. Rex also coded ustadz Akbar to receive a phone call.

" Please Mas..," said Ustadz Akbar with a smile.

Rex nodded then shifted away to speak.

" Assalamualaikum, why sweetheart...?" ask Rex gently.

" Wa alaikumsalam, where are you...?" ask doctor Aksara from across the phone.

" It's still in the hospital. Do you want to go home...?" ask Rex.

" Yes..," said the doctor Aksara quickly.

" Ok, if that's what I'm picking you up there, yeah" Rex said as he prepared to walk away.

" Don't go to my room, we'll meet you in the lobby. I'm on my way to the loby" said Aksara.

" Oh that. Ok, I'll go there." Rex said, ending their conversation.

Then Rex approached ustadz Akbar to say goodbye.

" I went home first Ustadz. God willing I'm here again tomorrow.," said Rex kissing the back of the ustadz's hand.

" Yes, be careful on the road. Don't speed..," said Ustadz Akbar.

" Ustadz ready,." Rex said with a smile.

Ustadz Akbar seemed to let go of Rex with a big smile. Although he was a little disappointed because Rex chose another girl to be his lover, but Ustadz Akbar was happy because Rex still wanted to help Elvira.

" May you be happy with whichever woman you choose Son." Ustadz Akbar prayed sincerely.

Rex drove Aksara's doctor home on his motorbike. Although there was a debate between the two, Rex finally came out as the winner.

Initially, Aksara's doctor wanted Rex to drive him with his car parked in the parking lot. But Rex insisted he wanted to take the lover with his motorcycle.

" Are you embarrassed because I'm anter home on a motorbike...?" rex asked while squinting his eyes.

" Ga, why shame..," said the doctor Aksara.

" Oh yeah, so no problem, right...?" ask Rex.

" How about my car...?" ask doctor Aksara.

" Your car taro here only, titipin same security can be..," said Rex.

" What about tomorrow morning ?. I have a morning schedule tomorrow..," said doctor Aksara gusar.

" Tomorrow I'll pick you up and anterin You to the Hospital..," said Rex to make Aksara doctor smile happily.

" REally...?" ask doctor Aksara not to believe it.

" Yes dear..," said Rex, thrusting his helmet at the lover.

" Ok..," said Aksara doctor while wearing a helmet on his head.

Seeing the lover wearing a helmet, Rex smiled silently. Doctor Aksara who realized he was being laughed at also asked.

" Gapap. You can wear your own helmet now. Even though it used to not be able to at all..," said Rex with a small laugh.

Rex's answer made Aksara doctor round his eyes because he did not expect Rex to still remember the embarrassing moment. Aksara's doctor pinched Rex's waist in a fit of anxiety.

" Satisfied ya ngetawain I..," said the doctor Aksara while pursing his lips.

" That's very satisfied..," Rex said with a laugh.

" Reexx...!" whining doctor Aksara with a blushing face in shame considering his stupidity first.

Rex stopped his laughter and hugged Aksara doctor tightly.

" What a shame. It is precisely one of the sweet moments that make me can not lupain You you know.," whispered Rex.

Doctor Aksara smiled and hugged Rex back.

" yes. I also always want to be together We are short first..," said the doctor Aksara timidly.

A moment later Rex and Doctor Aksara broke each other's hugs. They both seem to laugh.

" Had a laugh, We go home now yuk..," asked Aksara doctor.

" Any doctor," said Rex and began to start his motorbike.

Aksara's doctor smiled and sat down behind Rex. He also hugged the lover's waist tightly. After making sure the Aksara doctor was sitting comfortably, Rex drove his motorbike away from the Hospital area.

Rex stopped his motorbike right in front of Aksara's parents' house. Rex looked at the window of the house and saw many people inside.

" There's a lot more guests, dear.", said Rex.

" yes. Who yeah...?" tanya Aksara while observing the row of cars parked outside the house.

" Try you see, not a single time you know...?" rex asked while pointing towards the window.

There were two men sitting opposite each other laughing. Rex waits for the lover's reaction but Aksara's doctor is silent.

" How do you know them...?" ask Rex.

" I don't know darling..," said Aksara doctor.

Rex was disappointed to hear the lover's answer. Realizing that he was in an unfavorable position, Rex tried to keep smiling.

" You'd better get in now, it's late at night" Rex said.

" How do you keep going, we're going in together, right...?" ask doctor Aksara.

" I'll go home.." Rex said quickly.

" Why come home, you don't want to come in...?" ask doctor Aksara.

" It's too late for me to meet and introduce myself. The time is also not right for us to acknowledge our relationship because your parents are again the arrival of guests. I don't want to be the one who doesn't know the situation and instead ruin the atmosphere inside later.", said Rex wisely.

Doctor Aksara smiled at the lover's words. In his heart he felt lucky to have Rex as an understanding and kind lover.

" Yes. You always really are," said Aksara doctor while sneering.

" Don't squash dong. Insha Allah tomorrow morning will I come here again to pick you up. Well, tomorrow I know you and your parents" Rex said as he touched Aksara's doctor's face.

" Promise yes..," said doctor Aksara.

" God willing..," Rex said quickly to make Aksara doctor smile.

" okay. Be careful on the road and do not have to speed yes..," Aksara doctor message when Rex start his motorbike.

" Siiippp..," said Rex as he drove his motor slowly.

After releasing the departure of the lover, the Aksara doctor stepped into the house.
