Love Blocks the Past

CHAPTER 28 ~ Routine ~

Tiara picks up Mikho at a small health clinic. Everyday dr. Mikho took up the practice at the clinic in the village of Pesanggrahan. Every day Tiara picks up her fiance.

"When to move from this practice. Aren't you tired of working every day so far?" ask Tiara.

"If you're tired, don't pick me up" Mikho said.

"It's not so," said Tiara and lowered his head.

Tiara regretted asking herself like that. Mikho did not ask to be picked up. It's just that the man won't come home if he's not picked up. Choosing to stay in the restroom at the clinic until the schedule of practice in a large hospital will be neglected.

"I can go home on the bus or stay overnight if I don't get the bus. Nothing was difficult" said Mikho and Tiara also knew Mikho could not put his car there because the clinic was not fenced and did not have a garage.

I know why you're staying there. All for the sake of your memories with him, right? Choosing this place to always remember the moments with Celine, Inner Tiara.

All of those words could only be spoken in his heart because when he brought them up before Mikho, he himself would feel heartache. Mikho hasn't talked about Celine since her departure. Mikho felt heartache but deep down Mikho still felt love.

"What are the patients today?" tanya Tiara switched the conversation.

"Lumayan, there is a shortness of breath. There was a child injured by a fall. Also a girl who is hypothermic" Mikho said while driving.

Tiara bowed, for some reason hearing the words hypothermia, her heart ached. The girl felt that Mikho was deliberately practicing in that place to help hypothermia victims to keep his memories with Celine. Tiara always felt her chest ache whenever she heard the words hypothermia.

The girl recalled what Mikho had done while dealing with the hypothermia attack that Celine had experienced. Unlike emergency treatment on the mountain. When arriving at the clinic a doctor will handle it by giving oxygen that has been moisturized through a mask or nasal hose. All that to warm the respiratory tract and increase his body temperature.

Provide warmed infusion liquid. It can even be by warming the patient's blood using a blood washer if the hypothermia experienced is severe.

How long will you keep Celine in your heart? He has left you, why do you still remember him, Inner Tiara.

"You still love him?" tiara asked in a soft voice.

"What?" mikho asked as he glanced at Tiara who turned her gaze out the car window.

Miko looked straight ahead. Very understanding of what Tiara was asking. However, the answer would be the same whereas Tiara still asked.

"I hate him" Mikho said this time differently. Tiara with her teary eyes stared at Mikho.

"You lied! You don't hate Celine. If you hate her, you can't keep your memories with her. I know every time I see a hypothermia patient, it will awaken your memories with him" Tiara said in a hoarse voice.

"I'm not lying! I really hate Celine. After what I did to her, there was not the slightest intention of her to hold on for me. He didn't care if I begged him to stay by my side. I hate him being selfish, just following his own thoughts no matter how I feel. I hate him so much .…"

But also love her very much, inner Mikho.

"Not love her anymore?" ask Tiara.

"I hate him but also .. love him–"

Initially not wanting to reveal it to Tiara but the girl demanded an answer from Mikho.

"I told you not to reveal Celine–"

"But I want to know how you feel, before you get married, I want you to stop loving her. I wonder when that will happen? When can you forget it? When can you stop loving her?" tiara asked and then covered her face with both of her hands.

Mikho stopped his car on the shoulder of the road and turned his head towards Tiara. The man could not hurt his friend and fiancee. After a long time of consoling each other for losing Celine. Both of their families consider them a compatible couple and ask for their relationship to be more serious.

Mikho who seemed to have been desperate to Celine, finally nodded in front of Tiara's parents who were looking at her parents' house. Tiara was very happy when she saw Mikho's decision to fulfill his parents' request. It was not in vain that the girl stayed by Mikho's side from the third grade of High School until she followed him to take a lecture at the medical school.

Both are doctors, all consider them a very compatible couple. Although Mikho's heart could not turn away from Celine. However, Tiara remained until they were engaged.

Mikho grabbed his fiancee's body and hugged her. Like the days ago, if they had been drifting in the talk of the past and concerned Celine then it would have ended in tears by Tiara. Mikho would feel guilty and embrace his fiancee.

"Have you answered my question yet?" tiara asked as she wrapped her hands around the handsome doctor's back.

"Which question?" mikho asked back.

"What do you feel for me, like? If on Celine you feel hate as well as love. Then how do you feel about me?" tiara asked in a soft voice.

"Why always compare yourself to Celine. This will only make your life tormented by yourself" Mikho said.

"Jawablah Mik," said Tiara and raised his face to look at Mikho.

"I ... don't hate you and I love you" Mikho said at last.

Between happy and sad to hear Mikho's answer. Between complacency and dissatisfaction finally heard the man's feelings towards her. Mikho didn't hate him like Mikho hated Celine, it was a victory for him. However, upon hearing Mikho dote on her while on Celine remains the girl he loves. Tiara felt herself losing a great deal.

Tiara drowned her face in the chest of the field of the man she loved. Trying to accept the reality and survive. I hope that one day Mikho will love her with all his heart.

As usual every day Mikho served in the health clinic, there were patients or no patients. In the afternoon, we will go home and work in a big hospital in the city. The morning before noon there was heavy rain to make Mikho drown in his daydream. Mikho was staring at the gallery photo on his phone when it was startled by a patient who suddenly came ushered in by his assistant.

"Help the doctor, it looks like my fiancee is suffering from hypothermia" said a man in his mountain clothes, clutching his fiancee who has difficulty walking due to the cold.

"Lola please help the patient change his wet clothes," Mikho said immediately ordered his assistant.

Lola also helped patients change their clothes with dry clothes. Lola is already deft in dealing with hypothermia patients because the clinic is located in the village of Pesanggrahan to the top of the mountain.

"I told you I wouldn't be able to climb to the top of the mountain but my fiancee loves to climb the mountain. Fortunately we met a climber who was about to go down, so someone accompanied us down" explained the man without being asked.

Mikho just smiled, after Lola finished changing the patient's clothes, Mikho immediately checked the state of the patient. The patient who was lying down looked up. Mikho immediately looked up at the patient lying down. The patient even sat down.

Celine, Inner Mikho screamed.
