It's like, I'm in Love

Ch. 48

Doctor Haryadi stood near the foot of the bed with the Sultan after he examined Alfian. The man did not leave immediately as he waited for his upcoming assistant to bring medicine for Alfian.

"What kind of project is he working on to stress him out like this?" Ask Haryadi to the Sultan.

"The heart project." Reply Rara who is changing the compress cloth on the forehead of the Son.

Haryadi looked confused, he looked at Sultan and Rara in turn.

The Sultan sighed and invited his friend out of Alfian's room. He did not want their conversation to disturb Alfian who had just fallen asleep.

"Alfian is under a lot of stress because of his girlfriend's abandonment." Said the Sultan after the two sat in a lounge not far from the room occupied by Alfian.

"Love?" Haryadi smiled wryly. "Isn't he usually the one who dumps his lover? Is Alfian getting karmic?"

The sultan smiled bitterly. Alfian lunge in the world of romance does not ever produce good news. And in his heart, the Sultan also confirmed Haryadi's speech. Maybe his son is currently getting karma for his bad behavior.

Alfian avenged his revenge on Mother Kandung to women who were almost the same age as the Mother when the woman left him. And the Sultan believes, not all Alfian victims are evil women. There must be a good woman who is really in love with Alfian.

"What made the girl leave?"

"Alfian could not trust his lover nor could he control his jealousy. He considers what he sees and hears to be the absolute truth though not 100% of what he knows."

"Wow, that's scary." Haryadi shook his head.

Sultan nodded. "And without confirming it first, Alfian would let out hurtful words even committing an act of revenge."

"What's going on?"

"Rara and Desi find Alfian making out with one of her former lovers in the office. It was Alfian doing just because of a misunderstanding."

"Gosh my god." Haryadi smiled, "Your son is really sick."

"I knew. That's why we're planning on taking him to a psychiatrist."

"I support. And I'd recommend a psychiatrist best."

"Either. Besides, Alfian I've taken it like my own son."

🏥🏥🏥

Alfian looked at the three-story building in front of him with a blank look. He knew something was wrong with him. Therefore, when Sultan and Rara said they would take him for a consultation with a psychiatrist, Alfian agreed.

"How is the search for Desi?" Sultan asked as they were in the elevator.

"Nil. Desi disappeared without a trace." Alfian replied in a very sad tone.

"We're focused on your healing first." Rara said later.

"Yes Bun. It's free if I find Desi. I had nothing to convince him to come back to me." Alfian replied while leaning his head against the elevator wall.

The sight made Rara's heart melt. His son who always looks perfect now looks disheveled. His face was pale, complete with a sideburn that was left just like that. The gaze of his usual eyes looked sharp, firm and full of confidence, now blank. No more visible light.

Rara clenched both hands, she endured the turmoil in her heart. The Sultan who saw the look on Rara's face immediately clasped his wife's hand. The two stared at each other, giving strength to the couple through gazes.

Moments later, the three had arrived at the Psychiatrist's place of practice which became a reference from Doctor Haryadi. The doctor took a floor in the building as his workplace. After the registration process, they were taken to another room where the Doctor was waiting.

But before entering, Alfian stopped and turned to look at his parents.

"Dad, Mother, you go home. Fian's appointment will answer all the Doctor's questions honestly."

Rara smiled gently at Alfian, she moved forward and rubbed her son's hand.

"We're going to do this treatment together. Let Father and Mother come, so that we can better understand your situation." Rara.

Alfian realized that Mother Rara's determination was round. So Alfian no longer forced his will. Alfian nodded as a sign of agreeing to Rara's request.
