CLBK (Long Love Hasn't Been Long)

Caca's Desire

"The Assalamu aleikum Mommy...." Sapa Caca is making a video call with Lita.

"Wa aleikumussalaam Iaaang Mommy... I miss You so much." Lita's gaze was so sad. It's been two weeks that he's been separated from his beloved daughter.

"You're okay, aren't you, son?" Tanya Lita was so worried. Because Tristan told her that Caca was admitted to the Hospital because of the drop, Caca Kangen Lita.

"I miss You, Mommy... So much..." Reply Caca weakly.

"I'm sorry, son... You can't leave your patients here..." Lita crying. She was all wrong, on the one hand, her daughter missed her so much but on the other hand her duties as a Doctor who was dealing with patients with serious illnesses, Lita could not leave it alone.

"Mommy... When I get here, I miss Mommy, Caca wants to bobo with Mommy..." Spoiled Caca.

"Prophey, dear... Mommy also took care of a leave of absence from a week ago. You know what, right?" Lita hopes.

Caca nodded with pursed lips. "Ready love Mommy..." Caca kissed her ipad that plastered Lita's face.

"I miss you too, honey..." Reply Lita.

"Sister, it's old... Caca's doctor wants to check on Caca's condition." Tristan said suddenly.

"So, I'm gonna have a quick chat with Caca's doctor." Lita Pinta.

Tristan looks clumsy. He looked somewhere. "Good Brother." Tristan gave his iPad to the pediatrician who handled Caca.

"How's my Princess, Doctor?" Ask Lita.

The doctor smiled at Lita. "You're a Doctor too, Mom. You know better how to handle your Princess." Said Doctor.

"Sorry Doc, but I'm also dealing with patients here." Lita said, her eyes glazed over.

The doctor of the child breathed. "Your daughter's condition is fine. He just needs attention from his Mother's father." The doctor said the boy.

Lita shut her mouth. "How could He present his dead father Caca." Inner Lita. Lita's tears are dripping.

"Sorry Doctor, I'm sorry. Your daughter's already I'm giving her vitamins so as not to limp." Pamit the Doctor the boy.

Lita nodded still closing her mouth and the teardrops that fell on her cheeks.

"Beautiful Doctor... What was? You look sad and moody." Ask Lita's patient who has been dealing with Lita for two months.

"Heah... Uh... No. gabe... It's okay.." Lita wiped the tears in the corner of her eyes.

"Beautiful doctor tell me the same story, maybe I can help?" The patient Lita was treating was a handsome young man, his age was about 27 years old, the same age as Lita.

Lita sighed. He didn't want anyone else to know about his problems let alone that person's his own patient. "I'm fine." Lita forced her smile even though it felt bland.

"How's the Doctor's daughter?" Ask Lita's patient again named Thomas.

Lita's face looks gloomy. Lita can't cover up the longing for her daughter anymore, especially Caca is sick. "My daughter's been in Indonesia for two weeks, on vacation." Lita as much as possible still hide Caca's condition.

"Indonesian.... I would love to go there, but not yet. Indonesia Beautiful country, the people are also friendly." Praise Thomas.

Lita smiles. "Have you ever been to Indonesia?" Ask Lita.

Thomas shakes. "His plan before I suddenly got sick, I was planning a vacation to Indonesia. But apparently God has not allowed me. I see a lot on the internet about Indonesia, so I really want to go there." Obviously Thomas.

"Your condition is much better now. Just follow my advice, quit smoking and stay away from alcohol." Said Lita.

"Nothing is heavy, if you really want to be healthy... Actually I've applied for leave. I miss my family in India. Moreover, I just got the news that My Princess is in the Hospital... Likely for two weeks, you'll be treated by my surrogate Doctor." Obviously Lita.

Thomas looks disappointed, but he also does not have the heart to see Doctor Lita who looks moody at the thought of her Princess.

"I hope, You follow my advice, You are healthy and can vacation in Indonesia." Said Lita.

Thomas nodded. "I'm going to fight smoking and alcohol." Thomas promised.

Lita smiles. After he finished checking on Thomas, Lita resigned herself.

"Doctor's Beautiful...." Call Thomas when Lita will open the door to Thomas's nursery.

Lita. "Yes Thomas?"

"Thank you.... I hope the Doctor returns quickly to Country J." Pinta Thomas's.

Lita smiled and nodded.

Two days later.

"Mommyy.... Huk.. huk... huk...." Caca cried heartbreakingly when Lita made a video call with Caca.

"What's up, honey? Why are you crying like that?" Lita looks panicked. Lita was shocked because Caca never cried with great sadness after her father died.

"Mommy.... Caca doesn't want to lose Daddy, Doctor... Caca doesn't want Daddy to leave Caca... Huk.. huk..." Caca is still crying.

Lita frowned. "What do you mean, honey?" Lita looks confused.

"Mommy... Don't let Daddy Doctor marry another woman.... Caca doesn't want Daddy Doctor away from Caca... Caca wants Daddy Doctor... Huk.. huk... huk...." Caca didn't stop crying.

Lita sighed. "I'm aaaang.... Caca can't do that, son... Let Doctor Leo have his happiness..." Lita held tightness in her chest.

"Don'T...!!!" Caca hysterical. "Caca didn't want Daddy to get married to a doctor not Mommy Caca... Caca just wants Daddy Doctor... Mommy...!!!" Caca was hysterical and soon Caca was unconscious.

"Guard..!!" Call Lita in a panic. "Yes Allah... Protect My Princess... Tristaan..!!" Lita calls Tristan but Tristan does not respond. Lita called Tristan's phone.

"Sir...!!! You where??! Caca fainted!!!" Lita was panicking.

"Yes Brother... I'm talking to Caca's doctor. Brother calm down..." Tristan's breathing and the thumping steps ran in the corridor of the Hospital.

"You don't forget to give Caca the health news, Dek. I'll be home today..." Message Lita before disconnecting the phone with Tristan and get a response from Tristan.

Lita immediately picked up the suitcase she had prepared. The plan is indeed Lita today flew to Indonesia. After Lita pleaded with the Hospital to have her leave approved.

"Yes Allah... Why is my daughter so pushy about wanting Doctor Leo to be her father? I really love Father Caca..." Inner Lita. Her tears trickled down her cheeks. I don't know why his heart hurts so much to hear Leo is getting married to another woman.

Repeatedly Lita exhaled her breath, throwing tightness in her chest. Her heart beats when she imagines Leo standing with another woman.

"Yes Allaah... Why is it like this? Why won't my heart allow Doctor Leo to marry another woman? Sister Krishna... I'm sorry...." Lita kept wiping her tears.

The plane had just taken Off, carrying Lita to fly to the State of Indonesia, back to her homeland to release her longing for a family that so loved her.

Lita shook her head. "No.... I can't be selfish... Doctor Leo would be happy if married to another perfect woman..." Inner Lita, her hands were stroking her flat stomach. Lita's tears again slid off just like that given Lita's imperfections as a woman.
