Tonight I can't close my eyes at all. The meeting made me anxious and scared.
I'm afraid she'll find out about Shaki. Even though he was already happy with his new family, still the fear that he would snatch my Shaki just tickled my heart.
How could he suddenly be in this country? Could he be taking his family for a vacation to this country? Yeah, that must be the answer.
I can't be careless. He can't meet my daughter. He dumped us a few years ago. He must be happy now. Shaki is mine!
I force these eyes to be closed for a moment. I need to let go of my fatigue. Until slowly I began to get carried away in the flow of dreams.
***
This morning was like the usual day.
I prepared my daughter's needs for her school. I haven't lived in Karin's apartment in months. Not because of anything.
How could I have continued to live there while she was about to marry her lover. I know myself enough. Although Karin kept forcing me to stay with her, I refused.
They will soon be married. Don't they need privacy for their relationship?
So I decided to buy a house for me to live with my daughter. Although not too big, the important thing is that we feel comfortable. Karin also visited us often. He likes to invite Shaki to play.
After I finished taking care of my daughter's needs, I began to move on and prepare breakfast.
Although it has been a long time in this country, I always cook my daughter Indonesian specialties. I want my daughter to know her homeland.
"Mama, Chaki is a celebre. Chaki's great, right, Mam? Chaki cudah bica wearing a sundili."
I smile at my daughter who I taught to be independent from an early age. I immediately approached her and piggybacked Shaki's long hair.
She really likes it when I braid her hair.
"It's done. Shaki is beautiful now. Eum... Shaki want Mama to get me some fried rice? Or do you want to use sausage too?" bargain me.
"Yes Mam, Chaki wants that."
Shaki ate his breakfast voraciously. I also started eating my breakfast.
When finished with everything. I took my daughter to school. I'm a little relaxed because today there's no scheduled surgery. I just have to check on the condition of the patient I operated on yesterday.
I took Shaki's hand to his class. In front of the class is William as Shaki's new teacher. That's what my daughter said yesterday.
"Good morning, Shaki," William greeted kindly.
"For Mr. Will's. Chaki is going to class first, Mam." said my daughter. I kissed her before my daughter entered her class.
When I'm about to leave my place. Suddenly William's voice called out to me.
"Wait for Miss."
I turned my body to look at him by frowning me. "Yes Mr, is there a problem with my daughter?" my many.
"No, Miss. I'd just like to invite you to my company banquet."
I was still silent and digesting about his request. Isn't he the new teacher in Shaki's class?
William walked up to the moment he was standing right in front of me. The man smiled.
"sorry. You must be confused as to why I suddenly invited you. Actually I'm the owner of The Orion Corp. And this is the school I founded a few years ago. So sometimes I also teach the kids here if there's free time."
"Oh, sorry. I'm really not expecting you to be the owner of a well-known company in the country, Mr." I'm a little bent.
"Please don't hesitate, Miss. I'd rather if Miss was being casual to me. Purpose I invite You because I'd like to thank You."
"Thank you to me. What am I doing, sir? Didn't we ever know each other before?" my many.
"Yes, we didn't know him before. But you've done a great job for saving my daughter's life. Do Miss remember, the patient you had a few months ago surgery on? She's called Clara."
It doesn't take long for me to remember Clara. That little girl, she is a strong girl. He also called me often with his mother's call.
"So Clara is your daughter?"
"Yes, Miss. My daughter wants to meet you. So I invite you to a banquet party at My company the day after tomorrow."
"Alright, Sir. I'll try to come. Give my regards to Clara. Then excuse me, Sir. I have to get to the hospital."
"All right, Miss."
I'll go to my car immediately. I still can't believe William is Papa Clara. Hopefully my schedule will be empty so I can meet the little girl again. Shaki also often played with Clara at that time. So if I take Shaki later, he won't get bored.
I took my car to the hospital. When I arrived, I immediately stepped my foot into my room. I saw that Elsa had given me a schedule to check on some patients.
I'll do my job soon. Some patients have improved. Maybe some days they can go home.
I immediately went to the patient room I had surgery yesterday. I hope my patients improve too.
I saw from the door glass that someone was there. It looks like it's a patient's family. I went in and showed my friendly smile.
"Good morning, I'll check the patient's condition" I said then walked to the patient's side.
Someone sitting next to the patient I thought was the patient's family staring at me.
I was shocked to find out who that person was. My body seems to be riveted. I'm choked. Marcello.
But he just kept quiet and just looked at me with a difficult look.
At that moment I became so nervous. His eyes kept on me. But with all my might I tried not to be affected by her gaze. I just keep doing my job as usual.
I tried to smile when I finished checking on my patients.
"Are you his family, sir?" my many. My heart was pounding when I spoke to him.
"He's my mother" he said flatly.
I smiled again to cover my nervousness. "Then you don't have to worry, Sir. Your mother's condition is getting better. I suggest that you often invite him to communicate so that it can stimulate the patient's brain to be aware quickly."
He just kept quiet whether he heard my words or not. His forehead was wrinkled as if he was thinking. But I don't care. I just want to get out of this room. I'm afraid if he suddenly asks about Shaki.
"Then I'm sorry, sir." I said because Marcell had just been quiet. I put my foot down as soon as possible from there. I don't want to meet him face to face. My heart wound came back just by looking at it.
Lord, why is it that when I am happy with my daughter, You meet me with her?
I quickly accelerated, hoping he wouldn't follow me.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I reached my room. That guy's... I really don't want to see him again. I don't feel my tears dripping. The pain of the past is now back.
