Episode 41/Damian's seriousness

Episode 41/Damian's seriousness

Seeing Damian's battered face, Almira, who happened to be returning from the hospital cafeteria, stepped closer in dismay as to why the handsome face was battered.

‘’Bro, no Almira.’’ The whisper of Leo who accidentally saw the arrival of Damian's idol girl.

Damian sharpened his eyes and smiled at Almira, ‘’Father why can it be battered like this?’’ almira asked who was sitting next to Kevino.

Leo reasoned to want to go to the bathroom just to be able to make Damian more familiar with Almira. Damian turned to Almira, ‘’Are you worried about me, Almira?’’ ask Damian.

Almira instantly switched their conversation, ‘’Let me help treat the wound, Mr.’’

Damian gave a small nod, and focused on Almira who was treating the wound on her face.

‘’Awhg, slow down Almira!’’ damian groans when he feels pain.

‘’Sorry, Sir.’’ Almira said, he returned to treat Damian's wounds with more focus.

Damian focus on looking at the beautiful face that is treating his wound, ‘’Almira, what do you think about the age difference marriage?’’

Almira was surprised by the question given by Damian, he stared in wonder at this lecturer, ‘’Why did you suddenly ask like this?’’

‘’Jawab only, because I know that the Prophet Muhammad, an important figure in Islam, he married a widow, whose age is quite far, but. If I ask you, what if you marry a widower? Which age is adrift quite far too?’’

Damian had read the biography of an important person in his religion Almira, and he was interested in the love story between the prophet Muhammad saw and the city of Khadijah, his first wife. According to him, the condition he is experiencing now is almost exactly the same as the situation.

‘’Hmm, no one knows what a soul mate is like, Sir.’’

Just that Almira replied, he got up and said, ‘’It's done, I went to mom's room first.’’

Damian was still sitting in his seat, he stared fixedly at Almira's departure with a smile.

‘’If you say no one knows what a soul mate is like, then I will make me your soul mate, Ana.’’ Damian murmured, he took out some books he had just bought, to deepen the religion espoused by Almira.

…..

Meanwhile, Leo who saw no whereabouts Almira, he again stepped closer to Damian who was very focused in reading, ‘’Where is he?’’ ask Leo who is sitting next to Damian.

Without turning his head, Damian said, ‘’He's gone back to his mother's room,’’

Leo just bearded, he took a book that happened to be idle to read, ‘’Hmm, it seems you are serious to the girl, Damian.’’ Said Leo glancing at Damian.

‘’Clear,’’ Damian's mouth.

But Leo again remembered the incident in the bookstore this morning, ‘’By the way, who was that guy?’’

Damian closed the book he was reading, and clucked in annoyance.

‘’He was my rival in the business world, and at that time I invited Almira as a couple to the event. And I didn't expect him to be interested in Almira!’’ annoyed Damian by clenching his hands.

‘’Low anyway if he is interested in the girl, as if he is indeed sweet, I was honestly interested also with him,’’ Leo continued casually, he still turned the page of the book calmly. Meanwhile, Damian who heard Leo's words stared at him sharply.

‘’What? Is there something wrong with my speech?’’ wonder Leo, why Damian looked at her like that.

‘’Lo don't mess with my rival, Leo! Lo is also single and the possibility of you to get Almira is also there, just be careful if lo cornering me from behind! I'll make sure all the shares in your company I unplug!’’ threatening Damian, but Leo did not give any response at all, he instead focused on reading.

‘’Hmm, if it can not be ticked from behind, it can be ticked through a third of the night.’’ Leo muttered, but Damian failed to understand his own friend. Leo was reading a book he had just bought.

‘’Wait, wait! Lo why the hell?’’ astonished Leo when he saw the fixed and sharp gaze of Damian.

‘’Lo wants to be my enemy, Leo!’’ pissed Damian.

Leo who did not understand also replied to a speech from Damian, ‘’Become an enemy how? I'm just reading this, on the ticking in the third of the night.’’

Damian with an annoyed face turned his eyes towards the page that his friend was reading and it was true that there was a word on the mouse.

‘’Makanya, bro. if angry tuh should be located dong, do not everyone you suspect,’’

Damian also apologized to Leo, ‘’Sorry, end I thought you would stab me from behind to get the girl I wanted to marry,’’

….

Damian and Leo had to return to their activities, both saying goodbye to Almira.

‘’Almira, if so we say we go home first. Later if there are other needs that are needed by your mother, do not hesitate to say to me.’’ Damian.

Almira was reminded by Damian's words, if the condition he had given was to accept the gift he had done was to accept his proposal, and Almira was very troubled by it, and, but on the other hand Almira also felt very indebted to Damian who had spent a lot of money for the medical expenses of Mother.

Seeing Damian and Leo walking away, he went back to chasing them both.

‘’Pak, wait!’’ call Almira.

Damian and Leo turned their bodies around, ‘’What's up?’’ damian asked with a frown.

‘’Hmm, can we talk for a while, Sir?’’ almira asked hesitantly.

Damian turned to Leo who seemed to signal Leo to leave first, Leo who understood immediately stepped away from Damian and Almira.

‘’Bby, let's talk in the park, it looks like you have a very important talk.’’ Said Damian who stepped first, then followed by Almira.

The two of them were already in the hospital garden, Almira sitting opposite Damian. He sighed for fear that his words would make Damian not accept.

‘’Why just shut up, Almira? What do you want to talk to me about? If there is none, then I have to go back to campus,’’ said Damian who looked closely at the idol girl who had earlier***** his hands hesitated to convey this important point.

Almira turned to Damian, ‘’Hmm, but ... if I say it, will you be angry?’’

Damian instead chuckles with the words Almira, ‘’How can I be angry, while you just haven't said anything,’’

‘’Now, speak. I won't be upset if your words can be accepted logically,’’

……

Almira sighed deeply, ‘’So put it this way, sir. About our deal,’’

Damian was just silent, there was no angry facial expression given by Damian.

‘’Yah, continues. Where is the problem?’’ ask Damian.

‘’Hmm, You asked me to be your wife because you have helped me to take care of all your hospital expenses, so ..’’ Almira's words stopped, he hesitated to continue his words for fear that his words would later offend Damian.

Damian who seemed to understand the continuation of Almira's speech, he also said, ‘’Sadi ... You are concerned about the problem of our different beliefs, so Almira?’’

Almira gave a small nod.

‘’Quiet Almira, I've thought about the problem. And I will marry you after I embrace your religion, only then will I marry you.’’ Damian.

‘’But .. Sir,’’ Sergah Almira.

Almira took a deep breath and ventured to look at Damian.

‘’I don't want you to change your faith just because you want to marry me, if that happens .. Then sorry, I can't marry you. For me religion and feeling cannot be equated, sorry if I am presumptuous in saying, Sir. But ... I want you to change your faith because your heart is not because you want to marry me!’’

Damian smiles hearing Almira's words, ‘’Interesting,’’

Almira frowned, ‘’Interesting?’’

‘’Hmm, interesting. And you take it easy, I will change beliefs, when I am comfortable with your religion, so ... you do not need to worry about it.’’ Damian.

‘’Thank you, Sir.’’ Almira.

‘’Thank you again,’’ Damian said.

She steps away from the hospital, while Almira lets Damian go smiling.
