Heart Treatise

Episode 21

Rudi breathed a rough breath, this afternoon he was proposed by a woman. Even for the name of the woman he forgot. Strange indeed, even though he had several meetings between himself and Soraya.

Now Rudi looked at Soraya's business card. At first glance he reads, squeezes and then throws it into a garbage can. No matter what message Soraya had said this afternoon, it was to contact her.

Actually looking at the words from Soraya has a point. Rudi needed a life partner more, because his grandfather had repeatedly urged, asking him to get married. If yesterday-yesterday he always reasoned, wait a little longer. Because the hope is to make Amaira as a companion to life. Now it is clear that hope is not, because the yellow janur has curved can not be straightened again.

The next day, Rudi did the task like a normal day. Being in his personal space doing his duties and work as a doctor. His focus on the computer screen was diverted from the sound of the phone, he immediately picked it up and before long he went out into the hospital's main director's room.

"Grandfather called me" said Rudi after closing the door.

"Sit down!" his grandfather said that none other than Prasetyo Nugroho, as the main director is also the owner of the hospital where Rudi works.

Rudi sat on the sofa chair, opposite to his grandfather's position.

"Grandfather heard you already have a partner?" said his grandfather.

Rudi's face seemed to change. He then shook his head slowly, dismissing his Grandfather's words.

His Grandfather's brows furrowed, then he chuckled, "Not to deny, Grandpa already knew about it. After all, Grandfather will not forbid you from having a relationship with any woman. Provided the origin of the woman is clear."

"I mean Grandpa?" ask Rudi who increasingly does not understand the direction of the speech that his Grandfather aimed at him.

"During this time Grandpa told you to have a companion immediately, and you always have a reason to buy time. It's good that Grandpa should take action. Tonight Grandpa has prepared a meeting between two families. And Grandpa couldn't take any more excuses, whatever it was!," said his grandfather with great emphasis.

Rudi choked, his gaze turning serious.

"Don't think your grandfather doesn't know what happened at the Wijaya hotel. When I told you to replace Grandfather, I also asked my confidants to come with you."

"Do you still deny it?" asked his grandfather after throwing some photos showing Rudi and Soraya holding hands.

They were hit by a large rock. Rudi couldn't refute the photo, because it was true of him. But the reality was not what his grandfather thought, he had nothing to do with the woman in the photo. His brain kept thinking, but there was no word he could say. His grandfather was a stubborn man, he could not easily believe that there was no evidence. While the photo and also his Grandfather's confidant who was at the scene a few days ago, it seems burdensome if Rudi tried to deny.

"Tonight we go to the Wijaya hotel" his grandfather stood up and sat back in his chair of leadership.

Soraya could not sleep all night thinking about her actions yesterday until her face now looked haggard. Twice proposed to the same man, strange and crazy he thought. Once rejected and this time he hung his hopes on the ringing of his phone. He had observed the phone for a long time, hoping that an unknown number contacted him, which was none other than Rudi.

But if in reality he is rejected again, maybe it will be a memory that he will never be able to forget for life. He should be ready to find another way, men pay goods times.

His phone is now ringing, as soon as he observes the name or number that appears on his smartphone screen. But not as expected, it is very clear the name that is plastered there is written Om Bramantyo. He sluggishly shifted the green icon, then placed the phone right in his right ear.

It was heard across there, Omnya told me tonight there was a family gathering and Soraya was asked to prepare to attend the event.

His thin lips curled up, only the murmuring sound that Soraya let out until the phone ended.

It was already late in the afternoon, it had been more than twenty-four hours but there was no news. Whether the man was busy because of his work to forget Soraya's speech yesterday afternoon, or the bad possibility that the number that Soraya gave had been discarded so as not to contact him.

Walking gontai, Soraya is now preparing to attend family events in accordance with the orders Omnya gave.
