Finding True Love Aishah

Double Date

The day was getting late, the scorching rays of the sun began to fade. A torrent of orange filled the sky in the western horizon. Aishah was packing her things, because the time to get home from work had arrived. Aishah immediately rushed towards the parking lot to pick up her car. It was late in the afternoon, and he immediately went home.

Upon arrival at home, Aishah immediately took a bath to refresh herself.

cring.kring…

A voice from Aishah's phone rang. One message from Doctor Dariel went into Aishah's phone.

Doctor Dariel: Hay Aish, are you home from work?

Aishah: What's wrong Doc?

Doctor Dariel: I'll pick you up at eight o'clock?

Aishah saw the message coming from Doctor Dariel. He recalled that he had agreed to have dinner together with Doctor Viola and Aldi.

Aishah: All right.

Aishah put her phone back on the table. Not long after that, Adzan Maghrib was already reverberating. Aishah hurried to perform the maghrib prayer. When dinner arrived, Aishah deliberately did not join the dinner together with pakdhe and budhenya. He only drinks water. Aishah asked his father and budhe for permission to go out to dinner with Doctor Dariel. Pakdhe and his buddhists agreed.

Judging from how to treat Doctor Dariel, it seems like pakdhe and budhe Aishah like him. How not, because Doctor Dariel is indeed very kind and polite. He is very mature and friendly. Aishah immediately prepared to go to dinner. Aishah was wearing a long black dress and a matching hijab. Not long after, the sound of Doctor Dariel's car came.

After finishing dressing up, Aishah immediately went to see Doctor Dariel who had been waiting for her in front. Doctor Dariel seemed familiar chatting with pakdhe and budhe Aishah. Aishah looks very graceful tonight. Even when Doctor Dariel saw Aishah, he was fascinated by her.

Aishah was beautiful in that dress. Unlike the usual days that always appear with natural makeup. Tonight Aishah really is like a princess.

Doctor Dariel was stunned to see Aishah standing in front of him.

"Good night Doctor Dariel, it's been a while?" Aishah smiled at Doctor Dariel. At that moment, Aishah's greeting to Doctor Dariel scattered his reverie.

"Eh Aish, not yet. I just got here. Are you ready?" Doctor Dariel stood up to greet Aishah's arrival. Then Aishah nodded, a sign confirming Doctor Dariel's question to him.

"Pakdhe, Budhe we're leaving first huh?" Doctor Dariel bids farewell to pakdhe and budhe Aishah politely. Then Doctor Dariel approached pakdhe and budhe Aishah to shake hands. Aishah followed Doctor Dariel behind him.

"Be careful, don't go home at night." Mr. Joko smiled as he received a helping hand from Doctor Dariel.

Mr. Joko and Ms. Sekar drove Doctor Dariel and Aishah to the door. Quickly, Doctor Dariel's car disappeared into the darkness of the night.

"They look so good, ma'am?" Mr. Joko continues to pay attention to the departure of Doctor Dariel's car until invisible.

"Yes, sir, if only Aish could open her heart immediately." Bu Sekar looked at Mr. Joko with a look of hope.

"So soon, with the kindness and care that Doctor Dariel gave Aish, I'm sure Aish will soon open her heart by itself." Mr. Joko embraced Bu Sekar's shoulder and invited him into the house.

"But I'm not sure, sir. Mom is very familiar with Aish's attitude. He did not open his heart just like that. Even in her marriage, Aish took so long that she could truly love her husband. Especially now that Aldi is back in his life." Bu Sekar followed Pak Joko's steps into the house. Then Bu Sekar closed the door and immediately sat on the sofa together with Mr. Joko.

"Well, I hope, Mom, I feel sorry to see Aish going anywhere alone. Moreover, she is a widow who is still beautiful, now that many neighbors have talked about it." Mr. Joko looks worried.

"Mom is well aware of my concerns. Yes as parents, we just pray for the best for Aish sir's happiness. I don't want to force Aish to marry anyone again. I've already called sir, let Aish choose her own future husband. Aishakah is also no longer a child, he is experienced in finding a life partner. Let Aish choose his own path of happiness. Radit used to look really good. However, it was unknown that he betrayed Aish like that. Actually I'm really still hurting about the kid sir." Bu Sekar looks furious.

"Alone, ma'am, let it pass. Make it all a meaningful life learning to live life in the future. If you think also you are very angry with Radit's behavior. But we have to stay strong in front of Aishah. We can't get Aishah's old wounds back." Mr. Joko patted Bu Sekar's shoulder a few times gently.

Doctor Dariel drove his car at a high enough speed. Apparently it took quite a long time to get to the restaurant where they were going to have dinner together. The distance is quite far.

Upon arrival at the restaurant, Dr. Dariel immediately looked for a suitable parking space to park his car. The restaurant is located on top of the mountains. The air there is quite cold. Fortunately, Aishah always wore long clothes, so the cold air that pierced her skin was not so pronounced.

Doctor Dariel got out of the car and immediately took Aishah to find a seat. It turned out that Doctor Viola and Aldi had already arrived there first. Seen from a distance Doctor Viola waved to Doctor Dariel and Aishah who were looking for their whereabouts. Turns out that restaurant was Doctor Viola's choice. Doctor Viola deliberately chose a romantic restaurant for his dinner this time. Obviously, because dinner this time was indeed a special dinner for him.

It was seen Aldi and Doctor Viola were wearing matching black clothes. Even without a level they are in uniform wearing the same color of clothing, which is black. Looks Aldi and Doctor Dariel compactly wearing their black suits. Viola's doctor also wore a black knee-length gown, with short sleeves. Her hair was rolled up revealing her white neck. The front of the shirt is made a little open to look charming impression.

"Hay sorry to have to keep you waiting long enough. I was wrong to take the road, so we have to turn around to find the main road to this restaurant." Doctor Dariel pulled the chair next to Doctor Viola so that Aishah could sit there.

"It's okay, we haven't been too long." Doctor Viola smiled kindly welcoming the arrival of Aishah and Doctor Dariel.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was very romantic. Apparently, the restaurant was specially made for paired guests. From their seats, they could see a view of the cityscape far below. The lights in the city buildings look so bright so small. Their seats are located on a hill, with a gazebo as a protector from the cold of the night.

The stars seem to flicker up there making the atmosphere more romantic. Accompanied by a violin accompaniment that made it look as if the night only belonged to a pair of human children who were drunk with romance. The air there is getting colder and colder. It appeared that Doctor Viola who was only wearing a short dress was starting to get cold. It seemed that he did not prepare everything well, as he did not bring a jacket or long clothes to protect his body from the cold night air in the hills.

With response Doctor Dariel immediately put on the jacket that he had brought. Dr. Dariel has memorized the situation there, because he used to come to the restaurant at night. And it was Doctor Dariel who recommended the restaurant to Doctor Viola. Aldi and Aishah who saw Doctor Dariel wearing his jacket for Doctor Viola looked on for quite a while.

They do look very suitable. Aishah murmured in the heart.

"Sorry Di, I didn't mean to.." Doctor Dariel looked at Aldi with a guilty look.

"It's okay. I should have said a lot of thanks to you. I'm the one who didn't prepare everything well." Aldi smiled wryly at Doctor Dariel. Doctor Dariel felt increasingly unwell.

Not long after, two maids delivered their orders. Things have become awkward. They just kept quiet with nothing to say other than enjoying their food.

"Well the food here is delicious, the view is also very beautiful." Aishah broke the silence between them.

"Yes Aish, I love eating here. This is my favorite place. When I first came here, I immediately fell in love with this place." Doctor Viola showed his admiration for the place.

Cring…

I heard the phone ringing from Doctor Viola's phone. Doctor Viola immediately grabbed the bag on the table and took the cell phone inside.

"Hello.." Viola Doctor's voice.

"Sorry Doc, should bother you nights like this. But the state of the patient in the ER room that is in your care is now in a critical state. We need to get surgery done right now." The nurse's voice from across the phone sounded so anxious.

"Okay, I'll be there soon." Doctor Viola also sounded anxious.

"What's Vio?" Aldi asked curiously.

"I need to get to the hospital right now. My patient in the ER room is in critical condition. An operation must be carried out immediately. Because otherwise, the patient's life is in danger." Doctor Viola stood up from his seat.

"Then I'll drop you off now." Aldi also stood up from his seat.

"It looks like I'm the only one who went with Viola. Because I'm also in charge of patient safety in that ER room." Doctor Dariel got up too.

Aishah who does not know knows only a thousand languages.

"You'd better take Aishah home. Pity if he has to go home alone. Besides, it's very difficult to find public transportation around here if it's been a night like this." Dr. Dariel started picking up his cell phone and car keys.

"True Aldi, I'd better be with Dariel. Sorry dinner we had to be like this. I am a doctor, however. To a doctor the life of a patient is the most important thing." Doctor Viola was also about to hurry to leave.

"All right, it's okay. I understand that." Aldi held Doctor Viola's shoulder gently.

"Aish I'm sorry I couldn't take you home. You go home with Aldi." Doctor Dariel looked at Aishah for a moment.

"It's okay Doctor, be careful on the road. May you save the life of that patient." Aishah smiled at Doctor Dariel before Doctor Dariel left. Then Doctor Dariel and Doctor Viola immediately rushed to the hospital.

Aldi and Aishah are there. They look a little awkward. They just keep quiet. Aldi looked at Aishah in front of him.

"It's beautiful tonight, isn't it?" Aldi broke the silence between them.

"Yes, it's so bright tonight. Darling, Doctor Viola and Doctor Dariel have to leave quickly." Aishah saw the scenery far down there.

"Maybe the universe wants both of us tonight." Aldi looked at Aishah gently. Make Aishah blush. Aishah was unable to return Aldi's eyes.

Suddenly Aishah's heart was racing. Aishah tried with all her might to hide her true feelings for Aldi. It seems that the night air is getting more and more piercing the skin. Aishah looked cold because of the night breeze that repeatedly hit him. Aldi immediately took off his suit, and put it on Aishah.

"No need in. I'm fine, you'll be cold." Aishah tried to remove the suit on his shoulder, but Aldi immediately prevented it.

"You need it more now. I've been warm enough with this shirt." Aldi looked at the long shirt he was wearing.

"Dariel and Viola seem very compatible yes, they're always compact." Aldi looked down at the view below.

"You jealous?" Aishah looked at Aldi curiously.

"So, it's a feeling of jealousy or pleasure." Aldi shrugged his shoulders without looking at Aishah.

"Eh, why is it like that?" Aishah felt even more astonished.

"You must have known the reason. Because then, now and tomorrow my feelings for you will remain the same. Never changed or diminished one bit." Aldi looked into Aishah's eyes with a gentle look.

"Don't you feel guilty if we were like this?" Aishah threw away the face from Aldi's gaze.

"What are we doing?" Aldi tried to defend himself.

"At least you should keep Doctor Viola's trust in you." Aishah stared at the night sky filled with stars.

"From a long time ago, I've tried so hard to love Viola, but my feelings have stayed the same. My love remains for you an Aish, I can do anything else." Aldi looked back into Aishah's eyes. And now his gaze is deepening. Aishah was increasingly unable to return Aldi's eyes. If Aishah looked Aldi in the eye, Aldi would surely be able to quickly read Aishah's feelings for him.
