Troubles

Gale and Ica rode through Jakarta's congested streets in the office hours. Gale who forgot to bring his bottle earlier, felt very thirsty that afternoon, while, the journey still took a long time because it was stuck in traffic.

He tried to find a supermarket to stop buying drinks for a while. At the intersection, there was a minimarket, immediately Gale pulled his car over.

"In the meantime, I want to buy a drink first" Gale said as he hurriedly got out of the car

"Oh okay.," Ica replied to Gale

Gale got out of the car with only his wallet, his phone was left in the car. Suddenly, Gale's phone rang.

It says: Call from "My Naava"

Ica who read the writing on the screen of the phone, latently answered the phone call from Naava. And explained that Gale was at the supermarket not carrying his phone.

Finished telefonting with Naava, Ica quickly deleted the last call on Gale's phone. Then, he quickly turned off his phone, before Gale got into the car.

"Sorry for a long time, oiya, I missed my phone, is there a call?," asked Gale to Ica.

"Hmm. no, Gale, it seems, too, your phone is low-batt," Ica said pointing to Gale's dead phone.

"Oh yeah, you know, we go on," said Gale as he revived the engine.

Ica who was silent and did not tell Gale anything, he just acted as if nothing had happened.

***

After a long journey full of traffic jams, two hours later they arrived at the magnificent Ica house like the palace. How not, his father is the owner of the hospital where Gale works now. Of course, he was dealing with his father's property.

Ica leads Gale to Lesmana's room, a very large room, a room set up like a vip room in a hospital and full of medical equipment, with several nurses guarding it.

There Lesmana was looking out the window of her room using a wheelchair, because she could not walk anymore now due to the stroke she suffered.

"Hai Papi, look who's coming" Ica told her father. Lesmana looked towards the entrance of her room, and there stood Gale, a student whom she loved dearly.

"Hello, my dear Ica, are you home from the hospital? And.. The gale? Are you, son?" said Lesmana narrowed her eyes, to mark who had come

"Yes, I'm doc. It's nice to see the doctor again, it's been a long time since.", Gale said as he approached Lesmana's wheelchair.

"It's nice to see you again, how are you, son? Here, come closer! Is everything going well?" said Lesmana calling Gale

"I'm good, doc. It's incomplete like the hospital is now without a doctor, '" Gale replied with a smile and kissed Lesmana's hand warmly.

"Ha.. is that what it is? But I'm sure, if anything you'll all stay safely under control, son.. Thank you for taking care of our hospital..," Lesmana said with a smile on Gale

"Yes, both doctors. But still, I am not as good as the doctor hehe..," Gale said refusing to be praised

"Haha! Oh yes, Ica, you've been acquainted with Gale?," asked Lesmana to Ica

"Already, pi. We met at the hospital. Gale volunteered to drive Ica, yakan, Gale?,"

"Oh, no manners, you called Gale by name! He's your Mas, because he's older!,"

"It's okay, doc. Call names to feel closer hehe," replied Gale again.

"Haha yes, Papi! Hm..Ica stay a while. Oh yes mas, this is already magrib, dinner used to just go home huh.. Let Ica be ready first" Ica said

"No need to bother, Ca.. I'm in a hurry" said Gale, who remembered Naava must have been waiting for him at home for dinner

"Don't go home yet, we still haven't had much conversation, son! Ica, come on, get ready for your dinner, don't ask any more questions, maybe he's disinclined haha," Lesmana told Ica, leaving Gale unable to resist anymore.

"Ready, pi. ," replied Ica who immediately left Lesmana and Gale to chat together.

Lesmana and Gale were engrossed in a long conversation, ranging from the discussion of the condition of the hospital, the health condition of Lesmana lately, to finally the discussion of his only daughter, Ica.

"Hmm? Ica, doc? He was friendly and kind..," Gale replied briefly

"Yes, I love him very much, Gale. I don't want him to get the wrong match. He's the only heir to the hospital I have, son." Lesmana said.

"Yes, doc. May Ica get the soul mate she deserves. I'm sure, he can lead the hospital as well as the doctors used to." Gale said, staring at Lesmana's face.

"I'd be so happy, if you'd be Ica's life partner, son. I trust you very much. You can lead our hospital well," Lesmana said, bringing her wheelchair closer, then holding Gale's hand.

"I beg you to marry me and make Ica your companion. I'm very confident that you can make Ica happy, and take care of our hospital..," Lesmana said.

Gale was only shocked and speechless at Lesmana's doctor's request. He is a man whom he greatly respects and admires, and vice versa Lesmana doctor to him.

But how is it possible, he can accept Lesmana's request, on the one hand he will marry Naava. On the other hand, Lesmana was his superior, the one who taught him from before to become the great doctor he is today. Lesmana is a person whom he respects and loves very much. How can I refuse this request?

"Dok, isn't this too soon? Ica doesn't know me very well. Not necessarily she also likes me..," Gale said with a wry smile

"Huh? Wh why? Do you have a partner? As far as I know, right? I'd be very disappointed if you turned him down, son..," Lesmana said as if pleading with Gale.

"Doctor, don't beat it like that. I feel bad, doc..," said Gale hugging Lesmana's shoulder

"My hope for this hospital depends on you, Gale. I was no longer able to manage, in a sick condition like this..," said Lesmana bowed

"I can't answer the doctor's request right now. But I'll think about it first, doc. Let us be friends first, flow as is, without being made up. I will try to get closer to Ica, the most important thing now, just take care of the health condition of the doctor, do not think of anything else..," Gale told Lesmana.

He had to say that to take care of Lesmana's heart. Because stroke people are vulnerable and sensitive heart, which will affect the health condition.

"My next big wish is that your relationship can be more than just your usual friend or coworker, yeah, Gale..,"

"Yes doc..," replied Gale briefly

"And.. Ica also seems to be interested in you, Gale. Your charisma is radiating heavily on Ica. It's hard to fall in love with someone new. But with you, this time it's different..," said Lesmana, patting Gale on the shoulder.

"Don't praise me constantly doc, I'm still a long way from all that..," Gale said with a smile.

Suddenly Ica appeared from behind the door, in the middle of their conversation.

"Bapi, Mas, let's eat first. Ica has prepared dinner for us..," Ica told Gale and Lesmana

"Yes, ca.. Let me help push the doctor's wheelchair." Gale said as she pushed Lesmana's wheelchair to the dining table.

After eating, he immediately rushed home in a taxi, because the condition of Gale's car was still repaired in the workshop and not finished.

Along the street he kept thinking about Doctor Lesmana's request to him.

No, Of course he can't leave Naava for anyone else.

On the one hand He loved Naava very much, but on the other hand, He could not refuse the request of the man He respected so much.

Gale's mind was pretty fucked up that night..
