My girlfriend, my mother's boyfriend
Chapter 45's
This time Desta insisted on sending Clara home. Clara could only obey the man's will, as it felt bad. The atmosphere between them had become awkward ever since Desta had expressed her feelings to Clara.
At first Clara thought Desta was just teasing her, then Clara welcomed back with a tease of Desta.
"Yes, if that's what we're married to," Clara said with a smile.
"When do you want me to propose to you? tomorrow's? the day after tomorrow?" Sambar Desta made a red color appear on Clara's cheeks.
"Ah ah don't tease me anymore" said Clara throwing a face.
"I'm not teasing you, I really like you and want to marry you, Cla."
The surprised Clara could only shut up. Her tongue stiffened not knowing what to answer lucky one of the sisters approached them saying that there were patients who needed their help.
"The call came" said Clara from her seat.
If Clara thinks she can finally breathe a sigh of relief because despite Desta's questions she never expected at all, this time Clara can't breathe at all. His chest was tight, his face was pale even his mouth was clenched when he saw the patient he had to help.
He clearly knew who the man was, it would be impossible to forget even if his memory was lost.
"Dok," said the nun, pulling Clara into the real world, breaking Clara's timid reverie looking at the man's stiff face.
Space lay in a push-bed with a face full of blood. Even from the back of his head, blood was pouring down.
"This is the patient?" clara asked more like a whisper.
"Yes, Doc. Victim hit-and-run. He's been bleeding a lot and unconscious, sok. We have to get it operated on."
Clara's legs are limp, though, really could no longer support her body to stand any longer as her body was about to collapse the nun quickly caught Clara's body and swept her into the chair in the room.
Clara continued to observe from her place, framing the face of Space that she still clearly remembered. The face of a man who has taught him the meaning of love and also a betrayal.
I don't know what the universe wants to show him, all these years he's been avoiding this guy, but now it's as if this is his life's destiny he's got to meet up with Space again. Ironically, it was her hand that would save her ex-husband's life.
"Doctors are okay?" ask the sister who returned to disperse the long daydream of Clara.
"I'm fine, Sus. Please clean the wound and prepare the operating room we'll have surgery soon. Where's family?"
"His family has not yet come to the doctor, but the police have contacted him. Maybe on the way" explained Sister Wati.
"Are you okay? you look pale. If you're sick let me take your place and operate on that patient" Desta said upon entering the doctor's office.
"I'm fine, Des. Seriously, you don't have to worry about me being able to handle. Just a small operation," he replied smiling.
It took Clara five minutes to prepare her heart. He went through a side door near the operating room, only to breathe fresh air, let that air pass through his lungs and reduce his tightness until he could work with a professional. After feeling ready, Clara began to change her clothes and prepare to enter the operating room.
"Doctor, are you okay?" tanya Wati approached and touched her shoulder. Wati also helps Clara to get up and out of the operating room.
Clara excused herself to the bathroom, where she cried back to sobbing. Really mixed feelings, reunited with Angkasa. But above all she felt grateful to be able to save the man's life.
"Oh my God, what should I do? I can't possibly avoid that guy. When he regained consciousness, I was in charge of explaining how he was doing and also checking his progress. Prepare my heart, O God, to accept even the most bitter reality" Clara said with tears in her eyes. He knew that maybe Angkasa was married and he could not meet the wife of Angkasa.
"Doctor Clara, the space lord's family wants to see you. They want to thank the doctors who saved the lives of their family members" Wati told Clara in her room.
"Well, I'll meet them" replied Clara.

Clara took a deep breath and exhaled before entering the hospital room. He didn't know who he was going to face there, which was obvious the space family that was inside there might have known him.
"Good night" said Clara greeting the people in the room.
"Oh Doctor Clara, please come in. Mr. Mother, this is Dr. Clara who has operated on the space lord and the operation was successful. We just have to wait for the human patient" said Dr. Tomo, the head of the hospital.
Desta who was also in the room glanced at him and was worried to see the woman's state that looked chaotic and exhausted.
"Clara," cried the bule man, whom Clara remembered as the father of space. Everyone in the room was shocked when the nearly 60-year-old called out his name.
A girl of Space's age was beside the man who was also staring at her full of probes. His gaze seemed to want to ask what he had to do with the Space family.
"Hello, Om. How are you?" greet Clara clumsy.
Andrew did not immediately return Clara's greeting. Angkasa's father was still surprised to meet Clara at this hospital.
"You saved the space?" andre opened his mouth. Clara simply replied with a respectful nod.
"Well, did you and Dr. Clara know each other?" doctor Tomo.
"You're right. Clara is like our own family. She's..."
"Om, which aunt?" cut off Clara so Andre doesn't continue his conversation. Clara knew Andre wanted to say that Clara was Space's ex-wife.
"Time passed quickly Clara, five years ago after you parted ways with Angkasa, her mother passed away" said Andre.
Suddenly everyone in the room again highlighted Clara. The girl herself was surprised to learn that the mother of Angkasa who used to be so kind to her had now faced the Power.
"You mean, Dr. Clara and the Space Lord once...." Doctor Tama no longer continued his words because now he already understood the situation.
While the girl standing beside Andre was staring intently at Clara. The girl's name is Whitney, she's Space's fiancee. He also knew about the past of Space that had been married. It's only natural that Whitney hates Clara, because she still suspects her future husband is still harboring feelings for his long-lost ex-wife.
