Distance to Heart

P a r t 7

After I successfully completed my S2 education and obtained a specialist degree in obstetrics or Obstetrics and Gynaecology (Sp OG). I have also opened a practice in two large hospitals in the capital named Citra Keluarga Medika hospital, which is an elite hospital owned by the family of Doctor Abhimanyu. The director of the hospital, doctor Chandra Bara Abhimanyu was my lecturer when I first attended the medical faculty at the University while the second hospital was a maternity hospital by the name of Love Mother.

Working as an obstetrician was very pleasant for me, because every day I could see the reactions of patients and their partners, when the young couple or the mother was known to be positive for pregnancy. When first checking the content. Not to mention patients who every month control to find out the age of the baby and its growth.

Moreover, when I help the patients who are mothers who will give birth to their babies into the world. Either that normally or Caesar section. It is a challenge that stimulates adrenaline because as a doctor I am required to be able to save both. After the mother fought her life to bring her child into the world, but in spite of that all I who helped present their babies also felt happy and happy.

This afternoon when the sun was in the middle of my head and my stomach began to feel hungry. I went from the practice room to the cafeteria on the ground floor. However, it turns out the canteen is crowded and visitors are booming so to eat only buyers must queue and alternate seating.

While I can't wait long because after lunch. I'm going to do the Caesar section that's been scheduled on the patient in advance. I always discipline myself, because what I have scheduled must be done in a timely manner.

I got in line and before long, I got the food I wanted. I quickly searched for a table and a seat, but it turned out. A man grabbed the chair that had been there since, while I just stood looking with a pretty irritated feeling. In heart. "Why does that guy have to get that table first?"

My face turned red, it felt like my emotions wanted me to explode right then and there. But all I can do is hold. I walked away and brought back the food I ordered. For fear of taking time, I intended to ask the food to be wrapped in the cafeteria man who had served my order.

I just wanted to have the food wrapped up and I'll just eat in my practice room. I don't like eating in that room, but I can. I had to do this to save time.

"Wait!" someone did not look back.

But not how many old women poked me.

"The person who was yelling called the Doctor's mother" he said.

I thanked the old woman who had told me and before long, I saw a man approaching me.

"Sorry Doctor, please sit in my used chair. I don't eat here because of my mother. Suddenly called and asked me to go back to the room," 

"Oh, thank you, but if I may know where it is, yes?" I said pretending not to know.

"There, ma'am, by the window," he replied, pointing to the table I was going to use.

"Oh well, I'll be there soon,"

"Hmm, may I know the name of the doctor. My name is Erwin Mahendra?" asked the man, extending his hand.

"Oh, name. You can see it in the name tag" I answered without extending a hand.

The man understood, understood what I meant. He smiled and immediately left, as I stepped onto the table that had been given to me.

Chronic Kidney Disease is one of the kidney diseases that sufferers have damage to kidney tissue so inevitably the mother had to go back and forth to the hospital to wash blood and perform periodic checks every day the moon is in this hospital.

Erwin also without hesitation told me all about his personal life even though I did not ask for it myself. He turned out to be a staff manager at a mining and petroleum company. The status of a widower who has two children. For five years she was a single parent and lived separately with her two children. As custody of his son falls into the hands of his ex-wife.

Frequently meeting in this hospital and sharing without a story about the background of his life makes me respect and a sense of salute Erwin. A man I've only known for three months is a boy who's always there for his beloved mother. Yes, even though I know in addition to fulfilling his duty of caring for a sick parent. Erwin's motivation in this hospital is what else if not closer to me.

"You're not sure about me, Kay. About my seriousness with you. We're both adults, you know,"

"But it seems, I'm still comfortable living alone,"

I'm sure you're my soul mate. So let me know your family," .

"But this is too fast, Win. You don't know me very well. I don't want to, you'll be disappointed to choose me,"

"No, Kay. I am the lucky one. Can get love from a doctor like you" she said, trying to touch my hand.

I honestly initially refused. When Erwin said his seriousness. However, looking at Erwin who was earnest showed his persistence. Makes me a little withered. The man introduced me to his mother and expressed his desire for seriousness with her. He also ventured into the house to introduce himself as a close friend. Bravely the man suddenly said that he wanted to seriously establish a relationship with my family.

Obviously that phrase made both my parents happy not to be a bitch given my increasing age. Father and mother very openly accepted Erwin as my close friend even though I had never expressed love for the man myself. Let alone the expression of love so that it never feels spoken.

However, as time went on Erwin proved. If he is serious and wants to take this relationship to a higher level, that is marriage. He proved it by deeds. Not just a mere speech.

***

A month after his confession and proving his seriousness. Erwin really made me fall in love. That man is always there, if I need him. Like dropping me off or picking me up for work, he was also understanding of my busy life as a doctor, so I was sure he was the right man to expect God to match him up for me forever, until his birthday. It makes a surprise.

"Kanaya Nadhira Bagaskara, are you willing to be my wife forever?" erwin said as he knelt before me on the eve of his thirty-three year birthday party.

I was surprised at that moment. However, there is no denying that there is a little bit of happiness because this is the first time. I have a close friend and of course this makes me cry about what the man has been doing all this time. And more, that night. Unbeknownst to me. Suddenly Erwin proposed in front of both my parents and my sister. Finally the prayer that they had been saying after his bow. Heard and granted by God.

"Yes, I'm willing to be your wife. Forever, Erwin Mahendra," I answered, taking the ring box he had proffered for me.

Seriate...

If you want to see and then read it, but it makes you dizzy or "not connect" with the initial story. Believe me so too. However, I hope you are patient and stay tuned with this story until the end. Suppose you are following the life of the main character of the Yellow Bucket greeting
