Alya had already started working despite her limitations. Having to be in a wheelchair for a while, does not hinder his intention to remain in service with his noble tasks that have become his ideals since childhood.
"How many patients are there this afternoon, Sus?"
His practice time at the clinic was running out and after that he had to go to the hospital immediately to continue his afternoon practice schedule there.
"There's three more patients, Doc." The nurse who was in charge of accompanying him gave a file of health reports from the next patient.
As before Alya greeted kindly and then asked questions about the condition of pregnant women in front of him, then continued with an ultarsonographic examination.
After that he returned to his desk and delivered the conclusion of his examination, then gave some messages and suggestions and handed over the prescription of drugs that must be taken regularly until the next examination time.
Within half an hour, two patients had been examined and one patient was called by the nurse to enter the room.
A patient enters alone without being accompanied by her husband or family. He looked at Alya doubtfully as the graceful hijab-wearing doctor still lowered his head and read the health report inside the patient file he had received.
Suddenly Alya's view was fixed on the patient's name and the husband's name listed in the file report.
"Cindy ...?" his murmur was still heard by the patient who was standing in front of his desk.
"Yes, it's me ...."
Alya raised her face and looked at the patient so that the two of them exchanged glances.
Cindy, Riko's wife, is Alya's last patient this time. The doctor immediately regained control and revealed his friendly smile.
"Good day, Cindy. Sit down first."
Alya's soft voice sent down the fear and tension on Cindy's face which initially still felt hesitant to meet the ex-wife of her husband.
"How are you and your baby-to-be? Are there any complaints?" alya asked before she started her examination.
"My news is good and my content is fine as well."
The woman looked down and looked at her big belly then rubbed it lovingly. Unknowingly Alya smiled as she paid attention to him.
There was a different scene captured by his vision on Cindy's figure this time.
No more tight and open clothes that are usually attached to his body that is increasingly round contains it. His face also looks fresher naturally without the thick makeup that previously always seemed to decorate his face.
Cindy who he saw this time was an adult woman who was nothing, with a loose clothing suit typical of pregnant women with the latest model he wore.
Her beautiful face looks much more fresh and natural with thin makeup that actually raises the aura of tenderness and motherhood.
"How's Doctor ....?" Cindy ventured out her greeting that still looked awkward.
"Call my name" said Alay immediately, not inhin make distance with his special patients.
"Yes, sorry. How are you doing now, Al?" Cindy rectified her question with a sentence that sounded more familiar.
"Thank God, I've been much better. As you see now."
Alya widened her smile to make Cindy feel comfortable and replied with the same smile.
"We should first check the condition of your pregnancy. Please."
Alya asks the nurse to help Cindy lie down and prepares to undergo an ultrasinography examination.
Alya briefly examined the last report last month, where she was also the one who checked Cindy in the same place.
Once Cindy is ready, Alya moves her electric wheelchair with an automatic button on the right side, heading to the check booth.
They were both involved in talks about Cindy's pregnancy and the condition of the baby in the womb who was six months old.
Cindy also seemed very enthusiastic and paid attention to the details of all the explanations Alya and remembered her well.
Fifteen minutes passed, Alya ended her examination. She returns to her desk to write down the recipe while she waits for Cindy to tidy up her clothes.
"Sus, please take this prescription drug to the pharmacy section. Just tell me if I asked for it."
Alya handed over a scrap of prescription to the nurse who immediately received it and left the room.
"You shouldn't bother, Al. I can take him to the pharmacy." Cindy was confused by what Alya was doing.
"Not think about it anymore. I still want to talk to you first anyway. You don't mind, do you?"
Cindy nodded her head but her attitude grew more clumsy and nervous, thinking about what Alya would talk about with her.
"Al .., I apologize for what Riko did to you until you became like this."
Eventually Cindy chooses to get ahead, open the conversation and apologize to Alya with a hint of fear.
After all, her husband was wrong and had acted over the line thus endangering the graceful doctor's life before her at this moment.
Even the result of Riko's reckless deeds that last time, was still plastered in plain sight right now.
Alya had to move using a wheelchair, because the second time he still did not recover from the pain he suffered from a severe fracture.
"I don't know if you can forgive him or not, but really from the depths of my heart, I apologize with all my heart."
Alya was still silent and listened to whatever Cindy wanted to say. She can understand Cindy's feelings as a wife.
Moreover, the woman is pregnant with the fruit of their love, while Riko still has to languish behind the bars of prison.
"Riko is outrageous and hates you for whatever reason. I've tried to remind and stop her from coming to you and hurting you, but I've always failed. I still can't stop and stop him. I'm sorry, Al."
Alya felt sorry for Cindy. Just as he had told Riko's family, Cindy was innocent in this.
She is a good woman and only loves Riko. He always faithfully accompanied Riko with all the attitudes and traits of Riko who was arrogant and stubborn.
"I don't hate Riko. I'm not angry with him either. Perhaps more precisely I was just disappointed by his attitude, with the bad behavior he always vented on me."
After listening to all the expressions of Cindy's feelings, Alya began to speak and say everything that stuck in her heart.
"Even after we got married, Riko remained unchanged. Instead, he became more and more in expressing his hatred towards me."
Cindy listened to Alya's story with unbearable feelings. He could imagine her torment during the marriage with Riko.
"I often asked him, but even if he never wanted to tell me why. He just didn't like me and kept hating me, ever since we were kids and grew up together."
