Love Children Pesantren

The Same Feelings

"Excuse me..."

"Lake in."

A forty-year-old woman entered Aluna's room. Sit in front of the young doctor.

"Mom, Rongent Rifky's results are out." Aluna said. His hands began to take a sheet in which there was a picture of the body organs seen through X-ray radiation.

Moments after the gaze observed the sheet in hand, Aluna raised her head to look at the mother before her. "From the rongent results that came out, Rifky had lymph cancer. And this is entering the second stage."

Spontaneous the mother immediately let out a shocked expression of disbelief. "Astaghfirullah's..." Mumbled. "Then how's doc? Is there any chance of recovery?"

"still. For sure Rifky must remain in care here until his condition really improves. We here will also routinely conduct monitoring and treatment on a regular basis. In Shaa Allah with effort and prayer, Rifky can be healed."

Ting!

The clang of the phone indicates that there is an incoming message. Aluna opened her phone screen.

Kevin: Lun, I'll have my break in the hospital cafeteria.

•••••

"Assalamualaik." Greetings Aluna who in reply nods and smiles from her best friend.

He sat his body in a chair. "Have you waited a long time?"

Kevin shakes. "Not yet."

"So what's up?" Ask Aluna.

Before speaking, Kevin took a deep breath. He pulled the chair forward. "Gue to be honest."

Aluna with a serious face.

Kevin looked down, then raised his head. Staring intensely at a woman in a white suit in front of him. "Gue likes it as much as lo lun."

"Ehm..." Aluna gulped her saliva. "Relatedly? Not kidding?"

"Why should I joke about feelings?" Reply Kevin. "Gue already likes you from small lun. That feeling was there, but when I was a kid I didn't know it was love."

"Gue initially liked it, but if for many years it was no longer like it, but it was love." Further.

Aluna took a deep breath, neutralizing the sudden irregular roar of her heart. "OKAY. That aja?"

"Yes. Sorry for what I just said, make you uncomfortable."

Aluna nodded. "Yes. After all, it is natural that you have the same liking of the opposite sex. The heart can't choose who we're going to fall in love with." A sincere smile came out, adding beauty to the young doctor's face.

23.05

Aluna walked up to open the door. His eyes immediately highlighted the already dark living room. Maybe her family is asleep. He immediately went in and locked it from the inside.

His feet stepped in and then climbed the stairs. Just as he passed through his parents' second room, the door opened. His steps stopped too.

"Why did you just come home?" Iqbal asked by removing the glasses he used to use while working.

"Assalamualaik." Aluna kissed Iqbal's hand. "I'm sorry, that was a lot that Aluna had to finish. Patients in the hospital are growing, so the work must also be extra."

Iqbal nodded. "Dad was just worried about you. You're my only daughter, what if it happens? Especially it's almost midnight."

"Don't worry." Aluna took and clasped Iqbal's hand. "In the Shayah of Allah, Aluna will be fine."

"Yes, his name is worried parents. Unless someone is looking after you.",

The girl was silent. She smiled and said "Aluna to the room, well, take a break. This is a capeek body."

"There's something I want to talk about. Just for a second."

"Dad wants to set you up." Answer Iqbal to the point.

The deg!

Aluna bowed. His mind was immediately fixed on Kevin's talk this afternoon.

"How's it?" Iqbal asked when he saw the response of his daughter who was only silent lowered her head.

"Sorry, Aluna can't decide now."

•••••

The next morning when all gather for breakfast, it is precisely Aluna permission to go directly without sitting for a moment or eating breakfast that has been prepared. Intentionally, to avoid talking from the father, which may be he will discuss the matchmaking again.

Throughout the journey his mind was already unfocused. And then carried on until the hospital.

At 16:21 he sat alone in the hospital waiting chair.

"Doc..."

Head looked up.

"Yes?"

"Doctor why? Not feeling well again?" Ask Dr. Reza.

Both of his lips forced him to smile. "No, I'm healthy, thank God. Just a lot of thoughts."

"Em, doc... Can I leave for a minute?" Aluna asked for permission.

"good. Besides, yesterday the doctor worked late." Doctor Reza said.

"Thank you, if you need help, just call me Doc. I'll be here soon." He was told by Dr. Reza.

Before long, Aluna walked into her room. Tidy up all her belongings and gave a message to some of the sisters about the patient's condition.

While walking out of the hospital, his hands were busy looking for someone's contact. Then call. And a few seconds, the connection is connected.

"Hello, can we meet now? There's something I want to talk about. Just a second,,,"

•••••

"I want to be in a match with Dad." Aluna without a stale base. Now they both sit. Accompany with a crowd of people in a simple cafe on the outskirts of the road.

"How do you think?"

Kevin was silent for a long time. "Lo just wanna talk about this?"

Aluna's eyebrows are linked to each other. "What do you ask? I need an opinion from you. What should I do vin."

Kevin breathed a rough breath. "Lun, this is your choice and who will live your life too. No need to ask for someone else's opinion. Choose what you're sure of."

"Eat it, if I choose it I doubt it. But if I refuse, I'm not sure either."

"What makes you hesitate to choose yes. And what makes you not sure about refusing that match?" Ask Kevin. Ever since Aluna talked about matchmaking, her heart was jealous. There's a little bit of unwillingness.

"Where can I refuse Dad's request. I wouldn't have bothered if I knew how my father struggled until now. Who made me his strength, who made me his queen, he realized. I always promised myself that I wouldn't let you down. I'm afraid you're disappointed this time." Clearly Aluna with a passionate sentence.

"I'm sure you're gonna pick a good guy for me. Dad wants me to fall into the hands of the right man, to carry on with the job all this time. But on the other hand,,," Aluna closed her eyes, she gulped her saliva. Take a slow breath, and go back to continuing his sentence. "You're the one who made me doubt vin."

"Your conversation yesterday that afternoon, somehow for me to hesitate to choose yes." Further.

Both are equally silent.

I don't know if I like you vin, too? But somehow deep down inside this heart, there is a sense of wanting to be with you. Not anyone else. What does it mean, I have the same feeling? But since when?
