Died Ahead of Marriage
58. Give Me Time
"What do you mean Doc?"
Yoga doctor fell from his position. He sat on his knees right in front of Anna. "You know why I'm not married? It's because you didn't find the same person as you."
Yoga doctor holds Anna's hand. "Me, I liked you a long time ago. I was almost crazy when you never showed up and could be contacted. When I came to your grandmother's house, it was always empty. When I looked into the apartment you lived in first, it was also empty."
"To this day, I am swayed to not find a woman like you. I know what it's like to be you. Because I once felt the pain of being ignored. This is what makes it so hard to find a new partner. However, when I was with you, I was sure that you were the answer to all these stories."
Anna pulled his hand. "Sorry, Doc. I think you're making a decision too soon. Because I don't want to love anymore. It was enough that I raised Anan alone to succeed. I came back here because I wanted to show my son and I were okay with Papi and Mami."
The Yoga Doctor smiled wryly. "But, I'm sure we can be together."
"Don't, Dok—"
"Don't reject me. Give me a chance so I can see the smile on your lips again." The Yoga doctor again pulled Anna's hand and grabbed it.
Anna looked at the Yoga Doctor with a flat face. The man pulled on Anna's left and right side lips. "Well, this is better."
"You see for yourself I already have Anan." Anna put on her flat face again
"I'll love him like my own son." The Yoga doctor pulled back Anna's lips, until a smile appeared on her lips.
"You are beautiful when you smile."
"But, I haven't—"
"Sstttt!" The Yoga Doctor's index finger was on Anna's lips. "Give me time in the next month to treat that wound in your heart."
"One month?"
"Yes ... One month. If in that one month I still haven't been able to make you smile, then I'm going to go away and accept the arranged marriage my parents have appointed."

The next day, Amar who has a more mature stature than before, was busy with work plans about children's storybooks. On the desk, there is a picture of her marriage to Anna.

From the outside comes Darma with a more mature level of authority as well. "Sir, everything is ready. We will head to SD Nusa Bakti, to share the storybook with the children there for free."
Amar got up and made his clothes. For a moment, he lifted a picture frame that has been on display since the last ten years. He stared at the photo without saying anything, then put it back down.
Afterwards, they all went to a school, where the publisher he led wanted to provide a good storybook for the children.
Upon reaching the principal's room, it seemed that the school's leadership welcomed this goodwill very openly.
"Thank you for your participation in distributing story books to students at our school. Hopefully, the interest in reading this future successor will be better in the future."
After the meeting and welcome from the principal, Amar chose to be the one sitting backstage. Submit all events under Darma's responsibility.
Meanwhile, Amar looked at the faces of the elementary school students.
'If we were still together, your son might have been as big as them. Anna ... Where are you?'
"New boy, I'denger you given the tournament a chance wushu same national level boy coach?"
Amar heard a loud voice from the corner of the school.
"Yes, the coach asked me to come along. Then what's your problem?" another boy's voice sounded out loud.
Amar felt strange about this loud chatter. He also chose to go to the source of the sound.
"Lu is a new boy! Why are you telling the coach?"
"I'm new to this town. But I've been practicing wushu since I was a kid. My mom used to be a wushu athlete."
There was the sound of laughter of a group of children. Makes Amar more convinced by the allegations about a bullying.
"Lu think we believe? Where is there a skilled martial arts salon handyman? My mama said, the saloonman was seductive work men! Mean mama you work seduces men too!"
"Whatdidyou say? You're accusing my mama of being a seductress?"
