All the way back to his home, Aldi could not stop thinking about Aishah's words. He still cannot accept the fact that Aishah has loved someone else. And what makes Aldi even more depressed is the person who managed to occupy the heart of Aishah today, Doctor Dariel.
"Why should Doctor Dariel? Indeed, all this time Aishah was seen close to Doctor Dariel. It seems Doctor Dariel is also a good person." Aldi muttered to himself while remaining focused on his steering wheel.
Arriving at home, Aldi immediately headed to the bathroom to refresh himself. Now Aldi has his own home, so he now only lives alone and does not live with his family anymore. In his large house Aldi had two maids, one a male servant whom he referred to as a security guard and another as Aldi's personal driver. The current location of Aldi's house is also not far from his grandfather's house, only different housing complexes.
After finishing the bath, Aldi immediately performed the magrib prayer and then went down to eat. His stomach is now starting to rumble, it seems like the worms in Aldi's stomach have started to run amok because of hunger. Aldi eats at home more often than eating out. Eating at home is healthier and more hygienic.
After eating and feeling full, Aldi returned to his room. Aldi laid himself on the bed. Aldi sat with a pillow on the edge of the bed. Then he grabbed his phone lying on the nightstand. Aldi played with his phone for a while and then took the laptop that was in his briefcase. Aldi checks incoming work email messages. And it turns out that a lot of work has been piled up. Aldi didn't open his email all day. So that his work is now stacked.
Hearing the sound of his phone ringing, Aldi immediately saw who was sending the message. And it turns out it was a message from Doctor Viola.
Doctor Viola: Good evening dear 😊 The plan, lunch tomorrow I want to play to the office, may you?
Aldi read the message from Doctor Viola, he fell silent for a while. Viola's doctor often came to the office to have lunch with him. Before coming to the office, Doctor Viola always asked Aldi for permission first.
Aldi: Night, play.
Doctor Viola: Thank you so much😊 It's been a night, get some rest. Work can be done tomorrow 🤗
Doctor Viola was very attentive to Aldi. Seeing the message from Doctor Viola Aldi just smiled. He put his phone back on the nightstand. A few minutes later, the phone rang again. It turns out it's from Doctor Viola again.
Doctor Viola: Dear not replied 😔
Aldi: Hehe ya Vio, soon to be done. I'll get some rest soon.
Doctor Viola: Well, so dong. Good night 😴
Aldi : Night.
Aldi put his phone back on the nightstand. He returned to his job. Until late at night Aldi just finished with his work. Aldi decided to go down to the kitchen to get a drink. It turned out that working made him feel hungry. To fill his stomach that rattles Aldi fry his own eggs. It is impossible to wake the servants up at night like this he thought. After getting a drink, Aldi went back to his room to sleep.
Aldi returned to his thoughts about Aishah's words this afternoon. Now Aldi's heart feels empty, something is missing from his heart. Aldi feels Aishah's love is no longer intact for him. But deep down, Aldi is still convinced that Aishah still has love for him. I don't know how big, but Aldi is still convinced of Aishah's love for him. After a long time Aldi thought of Aishah, he finally slowly fell asleep on his own.
In the morning the sound of an alarm from Aldi's bedroom was heard echoing. Aldi deliberately set an alarm with a loud voice, so that he could hear it immediately and wake up. And that effort turned out to work. Aldi was always successfully awakened by the noise of his alarm. Aldi woke up and rushed to work on dawn prayers. After that, Aldi immediately took a shower and prepared to leave for the office.
Arriving at the office, Aldi was again preoccupied with his work affairs. I don't think lunch time has arrived. There was a knock on the door from outside Aldi's office.
Ht. tok .. tok…
Aldi looked up, he was still not finished with his work. So he didn't want to have lunch.
"Lake in." Aldi said a little loudly, so that the person who had knocked on the door from outside heard it.
Chequek…
The sound of the door opening began to sound, looking a beautiful woman with long hair down her arms standing in front of the door holding the door handle. He smiled sweetly at Aldi.
"Good day dear." Doctor Viola looked towards Aldi who was still busy working with a sweet smile. He was carrying a large paper bag that described various types of delicious food. Aldi just remembered that last night Doctor Viola asked to have lunch together at the office.
"Vio, it's been a while?" Aldi stared at the arrival of Doctor Viola with a friendly smile.
"Yes. I came here before lunch time. I intend to treat all your employees on this floor in order to celebrate our third anniversary." Doctor Viola looked graceful in a knee-length pink dress that fitted her tall all that high.
Oh yeah, it's our third birthday. I forgot to. My mind was too focused on Aishah, so I forgot that today was my birthday with Vio.
Aldi kept muttering to himself in his heart. He felt a little guilty, having forgotten his birthday. However, Aldi immediately tried to penetrate the mistakes he made as soon as possible.
"So you purposely came here to celebrate with me here?" Aldi smiled at his office.
"So you didn't forget?" Doctor Viola smiled sumringah.
"How could I forget, hehe." Aldi chuckles to himself.
Doctor Viola approached Aldi and gently kissed Aldi's forehead. Aldi immediately rose from his chair to welcome the arrival of his lover.
"I just want to have lunch with you. I know you've been very busy lately. So I decided to bring you lunch. I also want to give lunch gifts to employees who have been faithfully helping you until you get to this stage." Doctor Viola clasped his hands around Aldi's waist in a spoiled manner. He leaned his head on Aldi's sturdy shoulder.
Then with responsiveness, Aldi immediately brought a paper bag carried by Doctor Viola on a table in the corner of the room. Doctors Viola and Aldi sat on the sofa to immediately enjoy their lunch.
"Darling, you don't have a show tonight, do you?" Doctor Viola opened the paper bag and took out the contents for lunch along with Aldi. Aldi has responded with the direction of Doctor Viola's talk. Viola's doctor will definitely want to have dinner with him later tonight. Because it is always like that what they do if they celebrate their anniversary.
"No, I don't have any show." Aldi picked up a plate of rice and grilled chicken that Doctor Viola had prepared.
"You should add this to your diet, don't forget it!" Viola's doctor added vegetables to Aldi's diet. During this time, Doctor Viola was always paying attention to the diet of Aldi very carefully.
"Have you prepared the place?" Aldi ate the vegetables given by Doctor Viola greedily.
"Look down, it's all done." Doctor Viola pinched Aldi's nose with spoiled.
"How about we double date tonight?" Doctor Viola stopped eating and looked at Aldi seriously.
"Who?" Aldi was curious.
"Dariel and Aishah. It seems like their relationship is very close. But they don't say it to each other. I had an idea to bring them together. What do you think?" Doctor Viola looked into Aldi's eyes with a gaze asking for approval from Aldi.
"But it's our anniversary, why involve others?" Aldi seemed to disagree with Doctor Viola's idea earlier. There was a sense of unwillingness if Aishah had to be with another man again. For him to lose Aishah for once has made his life meaningless. Especially if you have to lose it a second time. Aldi really is not sincere if you have to let Aishah go with other men again.
"What's wrong, dear? Isn't Aishah your friend from the past? And Dariel was also my best friend from a long time ago, so what's wrong if we help with their feelings." Viola's doctor is still trying to get Aldi's approval.
"I just don't want to ruin our dinner. The dinner we always do is just the two of us to celebrate our anniversary." Aldi tries to cover up his jealousy towards Doctor Dariel to Aishah.
"will not. I assure you, tonight will be a very different night than our previous dinner." Doctor Viola threw his sweet smile at Aldi who was still looking at him.
"It's up to you. You set everything up well." Aldi chose to give up and obey the words of his lover. Because if Doctor Viola already had a wish, he would not stop trying until his wish was realized.
Aldi always relented when dealing with Doctor Viola. Because Aldi has been very memorized by the attitude of Doctor Viola who never gave up. Even the recovery Aldi had obtained was the result of hard work and immense support from Doctor Viola.
Suddenly the sound of knocking on the door from outside made Aldi and Doctor Viola stop his lunch. It doesn't feel like lunch time has run out since. Someone should have come to his room.
"Now.." Aldi allowed the person who knocked on the door to enter immediately.
Seen from the outside, Aishah opened the door handle with a stack of files in her hand.
"Excuse me sir, sorry to interrupt. I'd like to hand over some files you have to sign." Aishah stood at the door.
"Let's just put it on my desk. I'll check the equipment first. When I'm done, I'll let you know." Aldi spoke formally to Aishah.
"I'll excuse you then." After putting some files on Aldi's desk, Aishah immediately pulled out. Aishah lowered her head politely.
"Aish, sit down first." Doctor Viola patted the sofa next to her, hinting Aishah to sit there.
"But I still have a lot of work Doc." Aishah seemed to be trying to reject Doctor Viola's request subtly.
"It's okay, just for a second. I want to talk to you." Doctor Viola smiled at Aishah. Finally Aishah complied with Doctor Viola's request. Aishah approached towards the sofa.
"Sit here for a minute." Doctor Viola gave a seat to Aishah.
"Thank you Doc." Aishah sat down and smiled at Doctor Viola.
"Have you had lunch yet? Please eat first." Doctor Viola offered some kind of food to Aishah. But Aishah refused.
"Thank you, but I'm sorry Doctor Viola I had lunch earlier." Aishah smiled at Doctor Viola. Then Doctor Viola put the food back on the table.
"So Doctor Viola wanted to talk to me about what?" Aishah started the question in order to get out faster. Actually he felt bad if he had to stay there for a long time with Aldi and Doctor Viola who were enjoying their lunch.
"Don't talk formally like that with me, Aish, we're friends. Your boss is Aldi not me." Doctor Viola seemed to be less fond of Aishah's formal way of speaking.
"Hehe's sorry Doctor Viola." Aishah smiled.
"Well, as your apology, how about we double date tonight?" Doctor Viola looked at Aishah.
"A what? Double dates? But who am I with?" Aishah felt shocked, she was even confused by herself.
"Fariel is who else." Doctor Viola patted Aishah on the shoulder several times.
"But in what order?" Aishah was still confused.
"Today is our third anniversary. So Aldi and I want to have dinner with you guys." Doctor Viola clasped Aldi's hand and threw his smile at Aldi.
"But it's a special day for both of you. Why should it be with me and Dr. Dariel, wouldn't it bother you two romantically later." Aishah looked at Doctor Viola and Aldi in turn.
"Oh certainly not Aish, instead we are happy if we see you guys with us, enjoying a beautiful night together. It seems so exciting." Doctor Viola imagined enjoying her beautiful evening together while smiling to herself.
"But did Doctor Dariel not mind?" Aishah was still trying to find a loophole to reject the invitation from Doctor Viola.
"No Aish, he will definitely comply with all my requests. Anyway I'll be with Aldi and you'll be with Doctor Dariel so no one will be disturbed." Doctor Viola still persuaded Aishah.
"It's Vio, don't force it if Aish won't." Aldi, who had been silent earlier, took the vote.
"Oh Aish, just think of this as your apology to me." Doctor Viola remained persistent in inviting Aishah.
"Alright then it's up to Doctor Viola." Aishah finally agrees to Doctor Viola's request.
"That's so dong from earlier." Doctor Viola looked very pleased. He seemed to smile happily.
