CLBK (Long Love Hasn't Been Long)

Nervous

"Why did Lita repeat the question?" Inner Tia. "Yesterday he asked, now he asked again." Tia looked at Lambok's face. Lambok just nodded.

Lambok looked at Leo, Leo seemed to understand with Lambok's gaze. "It's okay sir, Lita still harbors her trauma." Leo said without covering up the turmoil of both Lita's parents to Lita.

"Why am I traumatized?" Lita asked in surprise.

"You know your own problems, honey...." Lambok. "Why are you covering from Us, Hhmmm???"

"Papa... I'm not covering anything up." Lita pursed her lips.

Tia rubbed Lita's head gently. "Papa and Mama understand you better than you do, Iaaang... Same story with Mom and Dad..." Soft Tia ink.

Lita. "But not in front of other people either, Ma..." Lita scowling.

Everyone looked at Leo. "But Leo, your Doctor, son." Lambok. "He needs your health research."

Lita shakes. "I just want Mama and Papa." Said Lita slowly.

"All right..." Leo also gave up.

Vita and Atala come out of Lita's treatment room. They understand Lita's feelings.

"Well... Now it's all three of us." Tia said.

Suddenly Lita hugged Tia's body tightly and cried. "Huk. huk.... Mamma... Papa's... I can't forget it. I always dreamed about him.. Huk.. huk... He always calls me and asks for help..." Lita kept on rummaging while crying.

"Vero..???!!" Tia and Lambok cried out together. They were very surprised by what Lita said.

Lita nodded still in Tia's arms. Tia stroked Lita's back gently. Some verses of the Quran, Tia recite and blow into the crown of Lita.

"But you said, You've forgotten Vero, son..." Lambok.

"I'm really trying to forget Bang Vero, Papa. But the presence of Brother Arby, reminds me of Him again." Obviously Lita.

Tia broke her embrace. "Istighfar Darling... Achaghfirullaah's chat..." Lead Tia while not spared by the recitation of the Quran.

"Astaghfirulla.... Asterghfirullaahis... Achaghfirullaah's chat..." Lita beristighfar tried to calm her own soul.

Lambok rubbed Lita's tears gently. "Do you want to go back to Indonesia?" Ask Lambok.

Lita stared in disbelief at her Papa. "But Pa... What about my college and scholarship?"

Lambok smiled. "Your health and happiness are more important, dear. Papa knows, you go to college here just want to avoid your heart problems, without wanting to solve them. Papa was young, honey... Papa was like you when he left your mother, without knowing the truth about your mother."

Lambok looked at Tia lovingly. Tia. Tia rubbed Lambok's cheek gently. "It's all over, honey... Now I am old with you until the end of my life..." Tia said wisely.

"I just want Lita to sort things out, Ma. That's what I used to do to calm my heart. When I heard Mama was married to another man, I was devastated, but I didn't blame Mama either. Our soul mate has not yet found us. We had our own partners." Lambok.

Lita listened to Lambok. Lita shifts her seat. "I'm sorry Pa... I promise to solve my problems with him. But I'm gonna finish my studies here." Lita looked at Lambok expectantly.

Lambok kissed Lita's forehead. "Papa is sure you can finish it. Then don't you want to open your heart to others?"

Lita shakes. "I'm not ready to get hurt yet, Pa."

"But if the wound is a cure, why don't you take it, honey?" Pinta Tia's.

"Come Ma... I haven't thought about it. Let everything go according to God's plan." Said Lita.

"No Son... God will not open your way if you do not open it yourself." Lambok Teas.

Lita kept quiet. "I... L'm... I like it Pa... But He is different from us. He can't follow us." Lita. His face was red. Lita couldn't bear to not open up with her parents.

Lambok and Tia stared at each other. They smile. "Are Mama and Papa's thoughts wrong, honey?" Ask Tia.

Lita shakes. "No Ma... Pa... I like her. But I don't want to indulge it. I only ask God to open his heart to me and follow our religion." Lita meets red.

Tia and Lambok embrace Lita's body. "Insyaa Allaah's... If you are a match, God will make things easier... Aamiin...." Lambok.

"Aamiin..." Tia and Lita.

"I love Mama and Papa." Lita tightened her embrace on both her parents.

Several times Lita sent a message to Papa and her Mama, as well as Vita. But they seem reluctant to open a message from Lita.

Lita pursed her lips because she felt uncomfortable having Leo in her room since last afternoon. No one visited Lita today. They seemed to disappear somewhere.

"You have not accompanied. So I'm accompanying you. I don't want you to do anything." Leo said gently and attentively.

"I'm not a terminally ill patient who needs to be accompanied on and on!" Lita raised her tone. "I can go to the bathroom by myself. I can eat by myself. I can do it all myself."

Leo smiled at Lita's adorable face. She wanted to silence Lita's lips with her lips. But Leo held it as hard as he could.

"I knew... But I'm not sure." Leo said briefly.

Lita further pressed her lips in annoyance. Lita sloshed her body and pulled the blanket over her face.

Leo approached Lita. He tried to open Lita's blanket slowly. "Didn't you feel claustrophobic? If this blanket covers your whole face?" Goda Leo's.

"Then the Doctor left me alone. I'll just go by myself." Lita was nervous. His heart repeatedly thumped.

Leo was about to lower the Lita's cage on the head so that Lita was comfortable.

"A.. What's.. What's... What is the doctor doing?" Lita covered her face with both palms, as Leo's face was so close to hers.

"I don't want anything. I just want to put this down." Goda Leo's.

"Yes, but not that time either. Her face will be sticking to my face." Ketus Lita still covered her face.

Leo smiled. Leo was happy to prank Lita. But Leo also salute Lita who does not easily accept it. There are a lot of women out there who want to get their attention.

"Is this feeling comfortable?" Ask Leo.

"Huhhhh...!" Lita surprised. Lita was busy arranging her heart as if it was about to jump from its place.

Leo held Lita's hand gently. Take off Lita's face. "I asked her if her gurney was comfortable?" Leo repeated the question.

Lita's eyes stared fixedly at Leo's eyes. Lita seemed to be hypnotized with the good looks and tenderness of Leo.

Leo stroked Lita's head covered in hijab. Lita closed her eyes feeling the tenderness of Leo's caress.

Leo smiled. He wanted to kiss Lita. But Lita's eyes were open. Lita woke up and immediately istighfar. Lita banished the lips of Leo who wanted to kiss her forehead, with both palms.

"Astaghfirulla... Doctor!!!" Jerky Lita.

Leo's aware. "Hmmm... Excuse me... Sorry..." Leo could not cover his nervousness.

Leo cupped Lita's palm with both palms. "I love you.... Loves you so much...." Leo said without hesitation.

"But....." Lita hung up her sentence.

Leo was about to wrap Lita's lips with his. Lita swiftly took the pillow as her shield. "Doctor, don't be like this!?" Lita was very upset.

"Youwww..!!" Lita half-screamed, her hand that had her infusion needle somewhat interested.

Leo quickly regained consciousness. He took Lita's hand. Bloodier. Leo hurriedly confirmed. While Lita grimaced with pain.

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry." Leo said seriously. Leo examined Lita's arm, somewhat swollen and bluish. "Change hands. It's been too long on your left hand, too." Leo said worriedly.

Lita nodded resignedly while enduring the pain. Moreover, will change hands to be treated with intravenous needles.

Very carefully but deftly, Leo changed the infusion needle and also thrust it into Lita's right hand. Afterwards Leo compresses Lita's bluish left hand from an infusion needle.

Lita's heart was beating very fast. Several times Lita sighed holding back the turmoil in her chest.

Leo kept looking at Lita's face. That makes Lita more misbehavior.

"Doctor why the hell do I keep on doing it?! I'm weird, aren't I?" Lita pursed her lips.

Leo smiled. "You are so beautiful and adorable. I seriously. I love you."

"Don't start again Doctor." Ketus Lita's.

Leo just sighed. "Patience Leo... Long Lita will melt too." Inner Leo.
