Treating the Longing

I'm Not a Backup Womb

The Part 80

Debby POV

I was shocked when I opened the door and Doctor Teddy was already standing before me, awkwardness dominating our meeting. Yeah, he came to the parlor this afternoon. My heart warmed when I saw his sudden arrival. But my heart was again hurt when he mentioned Aldo's name. The truth is he went to the parlor just to meet Aldo, not for me. His arrival was like sowing salt on my wounds that were still wet and gaping due to his actions earlier this afternoon.

I immediately say goodbye to mother, I reasoned there was important business. I went to the hospital, only that place is my current destination. I can wait while helping my colleagues there until night shift time comes. Instead of having to linger at home and see a doctor Tedi who does not want to see me it.

"Debby, we're out of work tomorrow night on Sunday!" Take Sinta

"Watch together?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Whose house?"

"In the cinema." Answer Alex.

"Choose a Korean drama... How's it?" Sayu Sinta again.

"Nothing, just exclamations." Answer Alex. I'm thinking.

"May I." I replied, I thought there was no harm in accepting their invitation. Who knows how to cheer me up when I'm upset like this.

I spent my time, playing with my passion. IG scrolls and games. Being bored and hungry made me have to go to the cafeteria and buy food before my job started.

As I headed to the cafeteria, I saw Mas Doni's car enter the hospital yard, I sped up my steps, hopefully they didn't see me. My heart asked, "who is sick?" But I soon realized I no longer cared about what happened to their families.

Teddy POV

I went back to the hotel after paying my promise to Aldo, I also had time to go with him just to buy toys and ice cream for children. It feels so happy to see them happy with my gift. And what makes me happier is the time along the way to buy ice cream earlier, which Aldo told me only about Debby, Debby's mom, and Debby's mom. The more Aldo told me about Debby, the more I lured her. What Aldo told me was a little treat for my longing for Debby.

I put my body on the bed, after I had fulfilled my duty. Today was exhausting for me. But I'm glad I'm tired of being taken care of when I hear Debby's status. I open my gait, I open the photo gallery, there is still one photo of Debby, the photo that I have not deleted can only hide in my secret file. The picture of Debby that I took silently as we ate dinner in the apartment kitchen. Smile again etched when I saw a photo of Debby who was cool selfie with Korean-style meat.

My smile faded as I remembered Mother's message before I left the parlour. The message that told me to take my parents to the orphanage. I've been telling Mother about my family, about my problems with my family for the past 8 years. Even whoever they are I told Mother. Mother has no objection to my problems with my family. Mommy just wants my parents to know about my plans to marry Debby. And Debby's problem? Mother herself will take care of it.
