"Maybe there's something I want to ask you again, Doctor?"
I thought again what to ask again because it seems like everything I have explained and we have confirmed together. It seems like there's nothing more I want to ask. It's all clear. I've written everything about my biography.
I have read his writing too. Now I know that Zein's father was still alive but his parents separated since he was in high school. Bu jannah and ustadz Zein decided to accept an offer from ustadz Salim to teach and assist the lodge operations.
"Ehm.. that's..anu me... I actually... ......" I am confused to continue talking or not. I don't know if this should be said either or not.
"Why Doctor....?" Ask the wife of Ustadz Salim gently.
"Sa-I can't actually take medicine..."
"uhukkkk" Ustadz zein suddenly coughed at my honesty. They must be laughing at me in his heart right now. A doctor who prescribes drugs to patients but himself cannot take medicine.
I was so ashamed, huhuhu I felt like I went into the sea so as not to see the faces of those who were holding back laughter.
Even the wife of Ustadz Salim could not hide her laughter. He tried to cover his lips but no doubt out also his voice. My shame.... Oh my God.
" It's...... already... umi how the hell is this?!" ustadz Salim patted his wife on the back to stop laughing.
"Wait a minute, bi. Sorry doctor. Ouch... That's the doctor if you give a prescription to the patient is usually the doctor will say this is taken three times a day, sir ma'am.... Usually it is. That's how's the doctor? Sorry before the doctor ... I'm just curious..."
"No need to answer, Doctor! My wife likes to joke." said Ustadz Salim.
"No papa kok ustdaz. That's an ustadzah. If the usual means he can take medicine if his face changes I will ask, "if the difficulty of taking medicine I can prescribe syrup. If his patients have sparkling eyes, it means he's like I can't take medicine. During this time I only met patients who have disorders like me only a few ustadzah. Can count fingers ."
"Can it be called a doctor's mom phobia?"
"Yes can be categorized as such ustadzah. A phobia is a fear or anxiety of something or a condition. Phobia sufferers will usually try to avoid situations and objects that can trigger fear, or try to deal with it while holding back fear and anxiety."
Everyone heard my explanation.
"This is even deviated from the discussion yes.. hahaha.." saw the laughter of ustadz Salim turned out to be as pleasant as that. The laughter of ordinary people with alim turned out to be different.
"I'm sorry ustadz.... It was one of my secrets and only a few people knew about it. I don't want to hide it."
"Yes yes, I understand. How about ustadz Zein? does ustadz mind?"
"I have absolutely no problem with it." replied Ustadz Zein while stealing a glance at me.
"If both parties have agreed please discuss first with their respective families. Whether this can be continued to a more serious level or not. What if we regroup for another week to talk about clarity" concluded Ustadz Salim.
That afternoon Jannah and I had lunch at my place. It just so happened that there were no patients so we could have a free chat. People here are healthy
tok tok....
"salama-title...."
"waalaikumsalam warahmatullah.." we saw ustdaz zein in the doorway.
" Mom.. I'd like to talk to Ani's doctor for a minute...."
Ms. Jannah nodded her head then stood up while tidying up our plates and glasses.
"Let me do it, ma'am..."
"Let's not take it back. You guys talk first...!"
The atmosphere was suddenly silent when we were alone in that place.
"Please sit ustadz!"
" Thank you. I want to show the doctor something..."
I scrunched my eyebrows together, showing what huh? I was curious and waiting for him.
He turned his back on me and his hands were like he was unbuttoning his shirt. I'm still waiting even though I'm a little afraid something bad happened. I'm sure he's not a pervert. My hands are squeezing each other for being too stubborn.
Ustadz Zein took off his shirt and the sight of his white shoulder made me bleed. My heart seemed to want to jump because it was so shocked.
He then turned around and I saw tattoos on his left arm and stomach. It is like a name but an abstract form. I looked at him carefully. I wanted to come closer and see clearly what the image was covering part of his skin but I realized it was not allowed. So I just looked at him with all my foresight and even forgot his white chest, my focus was only on the picture of the tattoo.
"I made this when I graduated High School. I was upset with my parents' divorce made me hang out with them and I ended up doing things that were detrimental to my own life. I regret everything."
I didn't realize my mouth was open when I heard her words.
"I don't want to cover something from your doctor. I don't want when we get married later you'll be surprised by this and feel if I've cheated you."
I breathe as much air as I can, I don't mind that I feel grateful that she's been honest with me.
