CLBK (Long Love Hasn't Been Long)

Desperate Asa

"Thank you Astrid... I've been taking care of Lita as long as Mama's not here." Tia said.

Astrid goes straight to Leo's unit after Leo informs him that Lita has returned to Country J. Because after all, Leo has not been legally Lita's husband, so Lita has nothing to help when she is going to the bathroom or changing clothes.

"I don't bother Ma... Lita I've considered like my own sister. I'm glad I could help Lita." Astrid.

"Again I also become not lonely if Brother Arham is out of the country. And my daughter also really likes her Auntie..." Astrid said again.

Tia and Lambok smiled. So was Lita who was holding her Princess Astrid. But it's still being watched by Astrid.

"Of... Aunties... Let's go eat... Lunch time is over..." Canda Leo who just arrived while bringing lunch to them.

"Doctors still call Om and Aunt anyway to Mama and Papa?" Ask Astrid.

Leo scratched his non-itchy nape.

"Yes Doctor, just call this Om and Aunt, Papa and Mama, as Lita and Astrid call us." Tia said.

"Sorry Tan.... Uh Ma..." Leo again scratched his non-itchy nape.

Lambok only shakes his head to see Leo's behavior.

"How's the therapy, honey?" Tia asked Lita.

Lita looks sad. He's down. Tia put down her spoon. Then rubbed Lita's head. "What's up, honey???"

"Doctor Oliver's been making observations. But it hasn't worked Ma.. Pa..." Leo replied. "Lita has no desire to heal. Lita broke up Asa." Said Leo lirih.

While Lita was sobbing.

She hugged Lita. "You can't give up hope, honey... Mama is sure you will be healthy. God loves you so much that HE gives you this trial, my dear..." Tia tried to comfort Lita.

"Doctor Oliver also said that Lita paralysis is not also due to Drug Allergies but also because of derivatives of the gene. Do Mom and Dad have a history of fatal internal medicine? Like Cancer?" Ask Leo seriously.

Tia and Lambok were unable to cover up his shock. Tia shut her mouth. Tia's eyes started to glaze over. "Yes Allah... What is our fault? Why did YOU pass down bad genes to Our Princess?" Inner Tia.

Lambok heard Tia's restrained sobbing. Lambok grabbed Tia's shoulder. Tia's laying her head on Lambok's chest.

"Yes Nak... Papa used to have blood cancer and your Mama had brain cancer. We also have a history of magh." Obviously Lambok sounded broke Asa.

Leo sighed. "Papa and Mama don't feel guilty, all this is God's will, but with We know the history of Papa and Mama's disease, the Doctors can continue their observation." Obviously Leo without wanting to make his family sad.

"It's all my fault... I can't take care of myself... I was so selfish that I hurt myself. Hik... hik..." Lita crying. Her tears trickled down her Princess Astrid's face and it made Princess Astrid cry.

Lita felt not strong. He wanted to run anywhere to where the family never found him. But what power, moving the wheelchair alone, Lita is not able to. "I'm useless... Hicc.. hik... hik...."

Leo immediately got up from his seat and skipped in front of Lita's wheelchair. "Sttts... Iwaa... Don't talk like that... You're so smart, there's no way you're useless. All of this is just a trial from God... We have to be sure we can get through it..." Leo clasped Lita's palm.

"Leos.... Papa has a proposal. But sorry before, you don't take it personally." Lambok was doubtful.

"What's the matter Pa... Papa don't look at me." Said Leo.

"Papa doesn't believe that medical treatment can treat Lita, but if there are other alternatives, why don't we try." Lambok really did not want to offend Leo who is a Doctor and think modern.

"What do you mean by alternative medicine?" Ask Leo curiously.

"Papa used to have blood cancer, your mom donated her spinal cord to Papa." Lambok clasped Tia's palm staring at him with love. "Then your mother had cancer that we didn't know about, until finally Mama was handled by a physician in Country T." Leo sighed. "His dear the Physician has long since died." Lambok looked desperate.

"But Papa last visited them to Surabaya, because indeed the Physician moved there to gather with his grandchildren. There's the Son of the Physician who goes down the talents of the Physician." Lambok.

"But Pa... Is it harmless? They don't know the ins and outs of human nerves?" Leo seemed to disagree.

Lambok sighed. "Indeed, son, their treatment, we don't know where they can get their way to treat their patients. But what's wrong we tried it." Lambok convinced Leo.

Leo looked at Lita. "I knew the Physician when We lived in Country A. I lost Mama in a plane crash carrying Mama's gurney to J State for treatment. I was a kid when Mom left us. But after Five years, Atala found Mama in the form of Sister Maria." Lita's eyes returned to tears Given the events of a few dozen years ago.

Astrid can't stem her tears from hearing Lambok and Lita's story. "Yes Allah... It turns out that Lita's family life is not as easy as I imagined..." Astrid's mind covered her grief. "If I had met them earlier, Mama might still be by my side." Astrid wiped her tears.

"And lastly we went to Country T, when Papa Adrian who was not young anymore wanted offspring. Alhamdulillaah succeeded." Tia Clear.

"So We meet the Family of Physicians to Surabaya? That means we're back in Indonesia?" Ask Leo who would not agree to the proposal of his prospective in-laws.

"Yes Nak... Papa also remembered them. Oh Allah... Silahturahmi we're almost cut off. We haven't been there for a long time." Lambok.

"Good Pa.... Ma's... I'll try to talk this over to the Doctors who handle Lita. I don't want them to feel offended that suddenly we're stopping Lita's Observation." Leo said he didn't want his future in-laws to be disappointed.

"Yes Nak... Papa believes in you. You will definitely give your best to Our Princess." Lambok.

Leo smiled. Then his gaze turned to Lita who was still in front of him. "Do you mind, honey?" Ask Leo.

Lita shakes. "I don't mind at all. In fact, I have started also making drugs for diseases using ingredients from spices produced in the State of Indonesia. I almost succeeded in treating my first patient..." Lita lowered her head no longer continuing her words. Lita doesn't want Leo to feel hurt because she will remember the late Vero.

Leo hugged Lita. Leo understood what Lita was going to say. "We'll try it, honey... You have to be optimistic. You must be healthy."
