Aldo came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his body. With his hands that were still wet hair. Aldo walked to the mirror to dry his phone.
Aldo grabbed his phone and looked at the calendar on his phone screen.
" 29August, Raquel's birthday is tomorrow" he said, recalling Raquel's former lover.
" Raquel has helped me a lot. I have to give him something. What else is this is a special moment. He really likes Supraise so I have to give him things I never gave him" Aldo said. But instantly his face turned sad.
" But I'm not her boyfriend anymore. I deserve to give him a gift. Aldo what are you thinking. You expect a lot from Raquel. Though you and him have broken up and Raquel also already has Doctor Arif who may Raquel will wait for Supraise from Doctor Arif," said Aldo who was suddenly not excited anymore.
Aldo is really in a dilemma with his current position. He was afraid of making mistakes that made Raquel even uncomfortable. Yet.
" Aldo, you don't just give him what he is. No exaggeration. You did this. Because you and Raquel are still in office. So obviously it doesn't matter if you give him a birthday greeting" Aldo spoke to himself in front of the mirror.
" I'd better go. I have to be there before 12 p.m. I just came as his best friend. Not intended or wanted anything," said Aldo who finally decided for himself what action to take.
Aldo hurriedly headed to his closet to open the closet to change his clothes. Without wasting time. Aldo who was in such a hurry prepared to go straight out of the room.
The clock now shows at 10 p.m. There are 2 hours left for Aldo to come to Raquel's house which will definitely not only come empty-handed. So that's why he had to rush away with a short time to prepare something simple but very memorable for Raquel later.
*******
Aldo's car was parked in front of the cake shop. Where Aldo had already entered the place and bought a cake. She must know what Raquel's favorite cake is. If it wasn't chocolate cake. So it will not be difficult to get into cake problems.
" Thank you mbak," said Aldo when the character's servant gave him a paper bag containing a cake.
" Together" said the character's servant kindly. Then go straight away.
" I can't just bring you cake. Floral. Yes Raquel really likes flowers, I bought him flowers first. Only then to his house. There is still time to do it" said Aldo who hurriedly rushed over.
He used that little time to buy flowers. Raquel does love flowers and when they are dating, Aldo always took the time to give Raquel flowers at certain moments.
*************
Raquel was in his busy-looking room with a pile of papers on his desk almost 12 but the woman was still busy with her work. Even his mouth had evaporated a few times resisting the drowsiness.
" Ahhhh, why so much to do. Yes Raquel you have to fight. This is partly for your exam practice," said Raquel who turned out to be studying desperately for his education problems in the world of Doctors.
" Come eyes, we have to work together. I should be able to become a Specialist. I have to be like Verro who is so cool in his Doctor's career. Yesterday I wanted to believe that this was impossible," said Raquel who spoke to himself.
Tinglong.
Suddenly the bell of his house rang making Raquel turn towards the door of his room.
" What time is it. It's crazy who's meeting at this hour" he said, astonished. And it even looks panicked.
Tinglong. The bell rang again. Raquel who was full of questions finally stood up to open the door of his house. He also wondered who had visited his house late at night.
" Yes for a moment" said Raquel walking towards the door who heard the defender kept on being pressed and finally Raquel stood in front of the door and opened the door of his house.
" Doctor Arif," said Raquel was surprised to see Arif's presence in his home.
" I'm sorry Raquel interfered with the nights. You don't have time for tomorrow" said Arif felt bad.
" This," Aldo gave Raquel a large brown paper bag. The confused Raquel finally took it.
" What is this?" raquel asked in surprise by peeking at the contents.
" What you asked for" said Arif.
" Astag, I forgot to take it from the Doctor" said Raquel.
" Yes, that's why I'm delivering tools and some books that help you for the exam later. It just so happens that tomorrow I'm out of the country. I was afraid I wouldn't give it to you. That's why I took the time to come here" said Arif.
" Geez Doc, geez I'm so sorry, I forgot. So inconvenience Doctor," said Raquel felt guilty.
" It's okay Raquel just relax," said Arif smiling by holding Raquel's shoulder.
" Thank you Doc then" said Raquel who still felt bad.
" Together" said Arif with a big smile and Raquel with a big smile. It turned out that the man and woman who faced each other were both smiling was also seen by Aldo who was in the car. He saw Raquel and Arif looking so happy.
" Aldo's. Raquel is not your lover anymore and now it's clear. Doctor Arif was his choice and Doctor Arif came to give him gifts and birthday greetings," the inner Aldo who felt so disappointed.
" Yes it's Raquel. Then I go first, it's already night" said Arif pamit.
" Yes Doc, thank you again" Raquel said with a smiling face.
" Together, let's Raquel," said Arif who finally said goodbye. Raquel nodded and Arif finally left. Raquel waited for Arif to leave. But suddenly Raquel saw a car not far from the front of the fence of his house that made him look seriously at the car.
" It's not that Aldo's car" he said, clearly memorized by the car.
" It's true that's Aldo's car. Why did he and why did not enter," his mind was full of curiosity.
Raquel sees the car's engine running and Raquel looks panicked. He ran to Aldo's car.
" Aldo wait!" raquel yells trying to stop Aldo from running his car.
" Aldo open the door!" raquel banged on Aldo's car. Until Aldo finally lowered his car glass.
" Raquel!" lirih Aldo's.
" Why are you doing nights here?" ask Raquel wonder.
" It's okay. I'm just passing by" said Aldo lying. Raquel's face was obviously in disbelief.
" What is that?" raquel asked, looking at the box of Cake and the rose beside Aldo.
" That's for me, huh?" guess Raquel, "you came to give me a birthday!" said Raquel who can guess Aldo's mind.
" Why go then. Comein. Not that it's all for me" said Raquel who looked happy. Yeah, he knows Aldo gave it to him. Aldo remained silent. Maybe it was not excited because of the presence of Arif earlier.
