CLBK (Long Love Hasn't Been Long)

New Friends

Marcel kept his promise. An hour before Nindi's scheduled return, she was already there.

"Hallooo...." Marcel walked into Nindi's room while knocking on the door.

Nindi who heard the knock looked up. "Ooh... Haiy..." Nindi looked at her watch. Nindi sighed.

'I'm still an hour here? You're speed." Canda Nindi's.

"Abis I can't wait to see your face again." Marcel Goda.

"Hhuuuhh.... Could it be." Nindi pursed her lips and it made Marcel anxious.

"I finished my report first." Pinta Nindi is focused on her laptop.

Suddenly....

"Mom Doctor....!! Patients who room roses critically!!" Rini who knocked on the door while half-screaming.

"What...?!" Nindi got up from her seat and half ran towards the rose room regardless of Marcel being glued to her.

"This is how it feels to have a doctor's wife. Again relaxed, again anything suddenly had to carry out the task." Marcel muttered.

Marcel opened his phone. He smiled reading a message. Marcel immediately replied. "Ok Boss..."

An hour later.

Nindi returned to her room while rubbing her sweat. Nindi forgot that Marcel was still there.

Nindi opens her Doctor's blazer. Marcel smiled at Nindi's arrival.

"Almost be the rock I'm here." Marcel Canda.

Nindi smiles. "You could have. Maybe this is one of the reasons no man wants to be with me." Canda Nindi's.

"Haha... You could have. But I want to.... Sanyguhh...." Marcel stood up and approached Nindi who was getting ready.

Marcel turned over Nindi's body and held onto both of Nindi's shoulders. "I like you... Excuse me... Maybe it's too soon but from last night I can't sleep thinking of you."

Nindi smiled as she brushed Marcel's hand off his shoulder. "And I told you last night, don't look at me later you can't sleep... Hehehe..." Canda Nindi's.

"I'm serious Nindi. I want to get closer to you. Can, right?" Ask Marcel softly.

Nindi sighed. Nindi thinks she should open her heart to others rather than later Mother will match her to a man she does not know.

"Is this known as a friend or something more serious?" Nindi doesn't want to be disappointed again.

"I want to have a serious relationship with you." Firm Marcel.

"Then the news out there about you?" Nindi looks doubtful.

"I told you, it's just gossip. You know my world." Marcel.

"But I don't want to be the subject of media gossip." Nindi.

Marcel took a breath. "I'll try to avoid it as much as possible, but I can't promise. But you don't have to think about those rumors. I never responded to it. I think it's a risk." Obviously Marcel.

Nindi breathed back. "Good... Then I'll try to live it."

Marcel was about to hug Nindi but Nindi refused. "I'm sorry... I'm not used to it." Nindi.

"All right..." Marcel took a breath and threw it away slowly.

"What about your wounds?" Ask Marcel.

"Lumayan many. I was struggling so much. It turns out my body was a lot of blisters. But it has been helped by Rini. You alone?" Nindi.

"As you can see, I'm fine. Just tell me the bruise." Marcel.

"Yesterday I gave you medicine. It will soon be gone too." Nindi smiled as she grabbed her bag.

"We're going home now?" Ask Marcel.

Nindi nodded. "Eh but... If I'm coming with you, what about my bike?" Ask Nindi.

"Calm down, my assistant will take me." Marcel.

Nindi nodded. "All right."

"Aren't you changing clothes?" Ask Marcel.

Nindi. "My jeans are so tight, it hurts when they touch me." Nindi.

Marcel nodded. Marcel took Nindi's hand and helped bring Nindi's belongings.

Nindi wanted to brush him off but Marcel shook his head and put on a face of pity. "Please...."

Nindi sighed. She was indeed not used to receiving such treatment especially with the man who Nindi had only known last night.

But Nindi complies with Marcel's request. Nindi hopes Marcel won't let her down.

"Yes... Brother Tia is on vacation here." Nindi.

"Oohhh..." Marcel nodded.

"Sister... What Lambok brother?" Nindi asked Tia.

"Nobody came out the same Fahmi. Look at the land he said." Tia said.

"To be brother, would you buy that land?" Ask Nindi.

"God willing.. That's why your brother wants to make sure again." Tia Clear.

"Where does Miss Marcel live?" Ask Mom suddenly.

"I live in Mall B's apartment, Mom." Marcel said softly.

"Who's the guy?" Ask Mom again.

"Yourself Mom. My parents are no longer there. They died in a plane crash two years ago." Obviously Marcel.

"I'm sorry, son." Said Mother.

"What's wrong, Mom. I'm not sad anymore." Marcel.

"Then... You have a brother?" Ask Mom again.

"I have a sister. But currently Sister lives in Country B following her husband. And the younger sister who lives in Country S, follows her Husband as well. Obviously Marcel.

"Yes, ma'am, it's okay. I am glad to see this family. Befriend. If you'll let me, I'd like to be closer to Nindi. I'm serious, ma'am." Marcel.

Nindi jumped in shock, not expecting Marcel to express his heart to his family so quickly.

Mom, Fitri and Tia smiled. "Mother's up to Nindi, son. Who lives Nindi and you." Said Mother.

"Thank you, Mom." Marcel smiled. Marcel looked at Nindi who pursed her lips.

"What the hell are you?" Nindi's whisper was upset.

"That's a sign I'm really serious about you." Whisper Marcel again.

Tia and Fitri shook their heads to see the behavior of the younger brother who can not be good with men.
