POV Rafael
"Kharisa Maura Pradita"
Reading the name made me feel stunned. Yes that name, exactly with the name of someone who until now I was looking for in this small town. Is the person the same as the girl whose name is still engraved in my heart, the girl who when we separated her status is still my lover, if so why does she not greet me, does she not recognize me? Why I didn't see his face. When I was about to sit down I didn't notice it clearly, because he was looking down. I looked towards her, I could only see her back, the girl was hijab-wearing and had passed away leaving the cafeteria room. And I was curious, and I tried to catch up with him.
"Raphelle.....Where you going?" I heard Bang Andre calling me, but I did not touch him I kept running small while circulating my eyes looking for him, until I arrived in front of the elevator I did not find him. Very fast the way, and where is he, he's a hospital employee, but what part is he? Wait, he said goodbye to Bang Andre, which means Bang Andre knows him. I went back to the cafeteria to ask Bang Andre who he was.
I sat down next to Bang Andre with a slight gasp. I saw my lunch that I just had a few mouthfuls of.
"Where from? What's up Raf?" Ask Bang Andre astonishment.
"Did you know the girl here who just left?" I wish Bang Andre knew him.
"Of course, she's my staff, her name is Kharisa, why? Don't you know each other yet?"
"Kharisa Maura Pradita?" I said with a little relief, it turns out that the girl is Bang Andre's staff, I will more easily make sure she is Kharisa who I am looking for or not.
"You know his name." Bang Andre.
"I read her name on her Id Card, but I didn't see her face." Bang Andre looked cringing.
"Didn't you meet three days ago? I asked Kharisa to confirm the schedule of the new specialist doctor, and I told him to introduce himself, on Monday he had no time to know you. He said he had met you, the file was already you paraf." Now I'm the one who's frowning. Three days ago a girl named Kharisa came to see me?
"No Bang, there was also a staff brother who a man came into my room, his name .....Zaki, yes Zaki." My answer. Zaki came with a new specialist practice schedule sheet, I checked it and I parafed.
"Oh ..so it wasn't Kharisa who found you, so he told Zaki." Bag Andre looks mangosteen.
"Bentar...Why are you nanyain Kharisa? Don't tell me you have a crush on him, hey boss remember you're engaged, your fiance is here, don't make trouble" asked Bang Andre suspiciously.
"Bang, I just haven't seen her face" I said
"Then....?" Apparently Bang Andre was curious, I had told about Kharisa to Bang Andre, my lover who suddenly disappeared and lost contact, I also told him about what my mother said about Kharisa, it seems she forgot that my lover's name was Kharisa, I used to call Risa.
"Don't you remember my girlfriend who disappeared?" I asked Bang Andre.
"Your love left you with another man?" That is what Bang Andre remembers.
"It's not sure Bang yet, and I'll make sure it's not." I said with complete confidence.
"What does this have to do with Kharisa?" Ask full of questions.
"The name is the same, the long name is the same as Risa my lover, Kharisa Maura Pradita, only Risa used to not hijab, I saw the girl in hijab" Bang Andre was silent, he seemed to be thinking.
"I have to make sure she's Risa or not, the room next to the HRD room right?" I stood about to leave Bang Andre, but his hand held my hand.
"Wait a minute, don't hurry, don't blow my office. Sit down, your lunch isn't done yet." He said as he pulled my hand, I sat down again, but I've already***** to finish my lunch."
"If it's just to make sure he's the person you're referring to or don't need to see him, just look at the photo, make sure he's or isn't." Bang Andre opened his locked HP screen.
"Did you have a picture?"
"Well, that's right, pretty girl in front of my eyes if it's not used as a collection of photos, there are two more, too, I'm the same she looks harmonious, like a couple." He said with his ignorant smile, sia lan, in my tense condition like this he was joking.
"Where's Bang....?" I can't wait to see it.
"In the meantime, I'm looking for one whose face is clearly involved from the front, but there, it's like a lover's partner, right?" Basic Bang Andre, don't know him that I'm stubborn. He handed over his HP, I immediately took and saw a photo of Bang Andre both with the hijab girl, it looks like again at the restaurant, sitting in the saung. I looked at the face of the hijab girl on the HP screen, I zoomed in to make it clear.
Degs....My heart beats very hard, my eyes are round, right.she Kharisa, she is Risa my lover, although her appearance is different from her hijab I can not forget her face, she looks beautiful with a smile on her lips, she looks beautiful, just like before, no. Now she looks prettier with her simple make up, making her look more mature. I smiled to myself as I continued to look at the picture.
"I finally found you Risa." Mumbles.
"Where?" Ask Bang Andre curiously.
"This is Risa Bang, this is Risa." I said with a happy smile.
"I need to see him, I need to know why he left me." I stood up, but Bang Andre held me back.
"Wait for Raf, it's still working hours, you're just going to interrupt his work. You want to meet him in his room? You want to make a drama of meeting two lovers who are separated and will be the news in this hospital? Patience with Raf." Said Bang Andre pissed me off, but there's also a point that Bang Andre said, if I met him in his study, I wouldn't be free to talk to Kharisa, either, and his co-worker would have been astonished or would have been in the breaking news, but I can't wait to meet him, five years I've harbored the longing to meet him, regardless of the mami's story about Kharisa that I can't just trust, I still miss him and hope that what mami tells me isn't true.
"Can you help me, right?" I really can't wait anymore, I have to meet Kharisa now, I have to ask for Bang Andre's help.
"What help?" Ask
"Take Kharisa into my room, whatever the reason, in my room I can talk to him, right?" I said with spirit.
"Now Raf's working hours, it's not good to discuss personal matters, you better meet and talk outside the hospital, find a quiet and comfortable place." In this condition, Andre still keeps reminding of working hours, I am also a person who is disciplined in spelling affairs, but for this one can not wait, my wait is too long, my wait is too long, five years I haven't seen him, I don't know the news, I can't wait to hear why he's been missing all this time.
"Please Bang, I can't wait anymore, I won't be able to attend work before meeting him, after all meet outside work hours especially outside the hospital he doesn't necessarily want to, he doesn't necessarily want to, I think he avoided meeting me, he must have seen me from the first day I came, and he avoided meeting me, the proof was that he did not greet me, even though I was sitting in front of him, there's no way he wouldn't see me. Please Bang help me, now tell Kharisa to my room, okay Bang, I'll wait in my room." I said a little sternly, I saw Bang Andre sigh.
"I just want to talk to him Bang." I said, indeed I want to say Kharisa in my work space, most I want to hug him, shed my sense of longing.
"Thank you so many Bangs, I'm waiting in my room." I reaffirmed, then moved towards my room.
*****
"Mharisa..." Mr. Andre came out of his room carrying a green map in his hand.
"Yes sir." Kharisa who is busy inputting patient referral data from the company clinic because of a work accident case also stopped his work, while turning to Mr. Andre.
"Please hand over this internal memo to Yanmed, the doctor's request to fill out health counseling at PT. Tirta Luhur next Tuesday." Said Mr. Andre while handing over the map containing internal memos. Mr. Andre noticed a change in Kharisa's expression that looked surprised.
"Sa...I am the one to Yanmed sir?" Kharisa instead asked, in his heart he certainly wanted to refuse Mr. Andre's request, why should he, not in the room there are others besides him, why not Siska who was told, but not Siska, surely he will be excited to meet Yanmed's part.
"Why?" Asked Mr. Andre, of course Mr. Andre knew why Kharisa was surprised just because he was told to Yanmed, he felt sorry to see it too, he felt sorry to see it, but earlier he had agreed to help Rafael to meet Kharisa with Rafael in Rafael's office.
"It's okay, sir." Kharisa replied, his face began to look pale, his heart should not be asked, when he heard Yanmed said, his heart automatically beats fast.
"Yes already there, so immediately followed up, we can give info readiness to the company." Kharisa nodded his head, he stood up, but hesitated to step, as if he was thinking. Of course his brain immediately worked out what would be said when meeting manager Yanmed, how would he behave, what expression should he show when dealing with Rafael? Happy, sad, disappointed, angry or ordinary as if nothing had happened before? Along the way to Yanmed's room was what he thought.
A glimpse of his son's face as he continued to ask his Dady.
"Momy when is Dady coming home?"
"Momy why can't Dady be on the phone?"
"Momy why is Dady in old school?"
"Momy I want to see Dady."
Not feeling suddenly his gaze blurred, he blinked so that the water pooling in his eyes did not fall on his cheek. While walking with his head down he dried his wet eyes with his right hand.
Your Rakha Dady is home, and Momy will meet your Dady now, but Momy can't promise to bring your Dady home. Kharisa.
And it did not feel like he was already in front of Manager Yanmed's room. Previously he passed through the staff room Yanmed and Jangmed (Medical Support), but somehow the staff room was so quiet, there was no one there. The pounding of his heart was more crazy, as he was about to knock on the door with the name written so familiar, he also undoes his intention to knock on the door, until the third time he dared to knock on his door and heard the answer from inside the room.
"Lake in!"
Strengthening her heart she opened the door handle and pushed it open, Kharisa stepped in, closed the door again but slightly opened, then stood in front of the door with a pale face, his gaze immediately met with the sharp eyes of the man in white who was none other than Rafael, he was standing leaning in front of his desk with his hands crossed in his chest. His look looked so long.
Kharisa was still still glued, his lips felt faint, felt heavy even just to say hello.
"Se.happy day doctor." Kharisa looks so nervous, his voice sounds trembling.
"Rise....Yes you are Risa....." Said Rafael, with a big smile and sparkling eyes he stepped towards Karisa. Seeing Rafael getting closer to him he shifted from where he stood but Rafael immediately grabbed both shoulders, then pulled Kharisa's body into his arms. Of course, Kharisa surprised and tried to escape from Rafael's embrace.
"Risa, I finally found you." Said Rafael while tightening his embrace not wanting to let go of Kharisa.
"I miss you Risa, don't you miss me?" Say again.
"Please let go, don't be like this." Kharisa said as he continued to try to release Rafael's embrace. Kharisa instead of not missing Rafael, he misses him a lot, he is looking forward to meeting the man he loves, but not like this. Although Rafael is the real father of his son but their relationship status is nobody, which is definitely not his mahram. If before he understood the rules of religion, maybe he would gladly welcome Rafael's embrace, even return his embrace, but now he knows a little about the limits of men and women who are not mahram, but now he knows a little about the limits of men and women who are not mahram, then clearly he would reject Rafael's out-of-bounds attitude until he hugged him. After all Rafael is no longer his, Rafael belongs to Vania. What if Vania or someone else sees Rafael hugging him. No. No one can see them in this situation.
"Let go..please let go." Now Kharisa tried to release himself hard, until Rafael loosened his embrace, Kharisa did not waste the opportunity, he pushed Rafael's body until his embrace was released. Almost Rafael fell staggered, but he could maintain his balance until he could still stand with a bow.
"Why Risa? Why are you rejecting me? You don't miss me? You really forgot me?" Rafael asked with a slight tinge of emotion. He did not expect Kharisa to refuse his embrace, even though he wanted to pour out his longing that he kept for five years, his love is still the same as five years ago, although his status is now as the fiancee of another woman, but his love has not changed, only for the woman he now faces.
Kharisa shook his head with eyes that were getting wet, for some reason his tongue was so faint, it was so difficult to get the words out.
"No.no.." only that word came out of his mouth, his heart was so mixed, not knowing whether he should be happy or sad. What is clear is that he harbors disappointments that he has not been able to express to Rafael.
"Why are you avoiding me? You saw me the first day I came here, right? But why are you avoiding me instead, you don't want to meet me? Wh why? Is it because you're ashamed to meet me? You're ashamed that you left me, right? Ah I know, it's true, you've forgotten me." I don't know what was on Rafael's mind, he looked disappointed, feeling Kharisa was not happy with their meeting.
" What do you mean?" Kharisa asked in wonder, why Rafael has such a guess.
No time had Rafael answered Kharisa's question, someone knocked on Rafael's door. Kharisa quickly dried his wet cheeks.
"Excuse me Doc..oh sorry I don't think there are any guests." It turned out that Nela's staff Rafael went straight in after knocking on the door, he was seen frowning, perhaps astonished to see Rafael standing in front of Kharisa, their position near the door, fortunately, Nela did not see when Rafael hugged Kharisa.
"Sorry doc, there's a doctor Arjuna wants to see a doctor." Nela
"I just want to convey Mr. Andre's care, I'm sorry." Suddenly Kharisa handed over the green envelope, and passed away leaving Rafael who was still standing gawking.
"I'm sorry if Dr. Arjuna can see you'
"Oh yeah of course , just ask to come in ?
