I Love You Dr. Chicanery

Cue

"Dok-ter Ra-ya's cheating?"

Mahfudz asked using sign language.

I don't know what to answer. The sound of sun-dried patient sheets fluttering in the wind.

He looked at me, I saw a tinge of disappointment on his face. I lowered my gaze. I remained silent.This atmosphere makes me very awkward.

"Ti-dak?"ask again.

Raya, say something, I said in my heart.

I don't know what I was thinking, so I decided to get her married.

Mahfudz turned his body upside down, disappointed that I never returned his question.

"I don't know" I answered honestly.

He's done turning his body around. And approaching me until now he was a few centimeters right in front of me.

"I'm a-ka-n me-ka-hi-mu ka-la-u ka-mu -cin-ta pa-daku, doc-ter"

Mahfudz looked at me seriously. Before he finally left me alone on this roof. I feel the nelangsa.

\*\*\*\*

I massaged Ummik's shoulder after work from the hospital while watching tv.

"Ray...?"

"Yes, Mik?"sahutku.

"You don't want to persuade Ummik to nerima Ali anymore, do you?" Ummik sounded riled up.

"Astaghfirullah, Ummik, what do you think suudzon is?"surprised me.

"Since, you if you go home from work directly mijitin Ummik body usually because there is a desire anyway. Ummik had heard that his wife the man died of mercy. Ummik was sorry to hear that. But if he invites you back let alone to get married, Ummik will not be ridho, Ray" said Ummik.

I sighed as I continued massaging her shoulders ummik. This time I switched to massaging Ummik's head. I remembered Ali's attitude when I came to his house. From his attitude I could tell that Ali wanted me to take responsibility for Tya's death by marrying him.

"Ummic...." I hesitated to ask.

"Hmmm...."

"If for example Raya stopped working at the hospital, Ummik's offer about building the clinic is still valid, Mik?"my many.

Ummik turned to me, so I stopped my massage.

"You want to quit the hospital? Tumbens. What's up, Ray? You have a problem at the hospital? Story to Ummik"

I smile. "No way, Mik. Really. Raya just thought, after Tya died, there would be many more people who think that Raya would return with Ali. The proof Ummik had already thought like that to Raya"

"You want to run away from the situation? What is the nature of an ummik child?"

I fell silent and hugged Ummik's body. His peace.

"Ummic..." I still hugged Ummik.

Ummik didn't answer, but I knew he was waiting for my next words.

"If Raya is married to someone who does not meet Ummik's expectations, what, Mik? This is not Ali I mean..."

Ummik looked at me.

"Why? You have a candidate you secretly didn't tell Ummik?"

I'm shaking. Still still pampered on Ummik "Jawab aja, Mik."

"That did not meet Ummik's expectations..." Ummik repeated my words. "What do you know of Ummik's daughter-in-law?"

I'm nodding. "The good, the righteous, who are diligent in their prayers, can guide the Kingdom of the Hereafter." I thought.

"That's you know. Then why still look for those who do not meet Ummik's expectations?"

"If there is such a thing, Ummik, but he has shortcomings. How, Ummik?"

Ummik started to get suspicious of my questions.

"Are there people who don't have flaws, Ray?"Back to asking. "Ummik has shortcomings, you too. Everyone has their own shortcomings and advantages, just how do we react to them."

I closed my eyes imagining someone.

"If there is a shortage, what physical lack, Mik? He's speech-tight. He's a doctor candidate who is also koas, but he's kind hearted, diligent in his prayers..."

"Yerome!!!! You're..."

Ummik let go of my embrace. Ummik looked at me very seriously.

"...you mean, the boy who was the same time as you?" Ummik looked surprised.

I didn't heed Ummik's shock. I hugged him again. Tighter than before.

"Raya is confused, Mik ..."

Ummik sighed still not believing in what he heard.

\*\*\*\*

Today I went to work as usual on the morning shift. Mahfudz and I threw our faces away. All I noticed was another one from Sherly's resident doctor. He's not what he used to be with me. Usually he was happy to rebuke me.

"Today something bad happened?"my many.

"No, Doc!"ketus answer.

"If there is a personal problem, do not take it to work. The face should not be bent like that, later the patient even more sick to see the doctor's face like that" I rebuked.

"Yes, Doc!"he answered while embarrassed.

"We're going around the ward, let's go everybody" I'll take them.

I have problems myself, but I try not to show them.

Arriving at the ward, routine activities are questioning the condition of the patient. But what's interesting to me today is to see a child who speaks sign language fluently with his parents.

"Hallo, honey...!"my broom.

The boy sat on the bed with his mother lying down. On the plastic bench next to her husband's bed. While next to the bed, there is a box containing a newborn baby. The baby woke up but did not cry.

"Mother of SC patient dr. Samuel?" my many.

"Yes, Doc!"Her husband answered.

I watched the girl whose hair was on the pigtail. Looks like he's taken a shower.

"Whose name, son?"my many.

I guess the father or mother of this child will answer, because my son thinks the child is disabled or deaf.

"My name is Alisa, Auntie..."

I was surprised, it turned out that he could speak normally and could hear as well.

"Wow, nice name, baby. Alisa can sign language?"my many.

Mahfudz seemed interested in the boy.

"Can" the boy replied proudly.

"My wife is disabled from birth, Doctor. So my son and I are used to being his listening friends. Sign language has become our everyday language" her husband explained.

"Oh, yeah...??!" I'm so enthusiastic. "Good donk, sir! I even know someone who has needs such as your wife, she is lazy or embarrassed maybe using sign language, so she more often typed on the phone or write on the paper" I said as I glanced at Mahfudz.

I deliberately insinuated him because he was reluctant to ignore my invitation to get married while on the roof.

All the nakes who were in my entourage around the hospital looked at me with unreasonable eyes. Maybe they can't figure out why I should be insinuating Mahfudz. They all know who I mean. But I don't give a shit.

I glanced at Mahfudz, wanting to see his reaction to my innuendo. But it seems he also looks bodo. Makes me more upset.

"You can donk, baby, teach aunty sedikiiiit a sign language" I asked.

"Can" said Alisa.

"If it's sign language, you're lying, how"you're still glancing at Mahfudz who pretends to be busy with his note paper.

Alisa showed me how. He pointed at me. Then form his hand like a snake's head and move it from left to right parallel to his mouth.

"Oh, is that how you're gonna tell me you're lying?"I said mangosteen while mimicking Alisa's sign language.

"Yes, Aunt. But the aunt's face must also look angry, so that the liar knows why the aunt said she was a liar" Alisa explained.

"Ohh... I see.." I said again. "So, for example, gini..."

I pointed at Mahfudz with an angry facial expression, then mimicked the sign language Alisa taught. Everyone looked at me amusedly. Maybe they thought I was crazy.

"Like that?"I asked Alisa.

Alisa nodded.

I placed my fist on my chest, then crossed my clenched hands on my chest, and pointed at Alisa.

"Thank you, pretty!"my spoken.

"That's not how you say thank you, Auntie! But like this"

Alisa put her finger on her chin and let it go at me, like the kiss bye I saw in Mahfudz when she thanked me. But it was different from the thanks he had taught me.

"As far as Auntie made it, what sign language is donk? Meaning what?" I glanced again at Mahfudz. Just be careful, if it means weird.

Alisa smiling.

"That means, I love you. For example, like this"

Alisa mimicked the sign language I thought the thank you said to her mother and also to her newborn sister.

"I love you, Mama. I love you, deck!"

I immediately blushed to see the boy's answer. I glanced again at Mahfudz. Her face flushed.

"Once again, if someone says that to us, what should we answer?"my many.

Alisa thought and then answered. "Jawab's the same, like this sign language."

Alisa mimicked the sign language "sama-sama". That's exactly the sign language Mahfudz told me when he tricked me with the sign language of thank you which actually means "i love you."

I remember him saying "sa-ma sa-ma" when we were in the abduction area.

"You can also answer I Love You"

Alisa pointed at her chest, after which she formed a heart symbol with her finger, and pointed it towards Mahfudz.

"I Love You, Om Cute!"

Mahfudz smiled and replied to the sign language of the boy. "I lo-ve you too can-tik"

Our eyes clashed for a moment before I took my eyes off. I can no longer look at him. Oh, my God, take me out of his sight, I'm ashamed, I can't look at his face anymore."

From the television that lit up in the ward of class II was being played a song rearranged from one of the old songs.

If you really love me, then,

If you really love, then,

You don't have to say all that, though,

Enough behavior...

Now what does it mean to love, if only on the lips, love is not a play

But sacrifice

I felt like the song was aimed at my current situation.

I immediately took the group to go to another ward, but the nosy mouths of the koas and akbid children seemed to know that the song hit my heart. Along the corridor, they were just singing the song. Me and Mahfudz just fell silent carried away by the atmosphere brought by the song.

Everyone can say, baby,

Everyone can say,

What does it mean, baby,

Without reality..
