My Ribs

A widower?

After finishing the medicine, Agus walked over to Abimana who seemed to be thinking, "Grandfather, let's go home!"agus said when he was near Abimana.

"Gus, find out about the woman named Chintania he is the son of the owner of this hospital," Abimana said making Agus frown.

"What for, cake? Don't tell me you want to match Mas Juna to that woman named Chintania?"agus asked, looking at the guess.

"If she's still single, why not?"abiman then got up from his seat and walked out of the hospital with a bright face.

"Over the past year or so, grandfather has never looked for a woman to match with Mas Juna. Why suddenly now seems enthusiastic with the woman named Chintania, "murmam Agus followed the footsteps of the old man who had cared for and raised him.

For the past year or so, Agus had never seen Abimana's face as bright as it was today. Since Kinara's disappearance, only sadness has been recorded on the old man's face. The house was quiet without Kinara. Moreover, Agus who felt lonely because he used to joke with Kinara.

Chintania packed her things because she was going home. The pile of documents he had to check all day really made him feel tired. But suddenly the door to Chintania's room opened and Noah entered the room without permission.

"Noah! It's a habit, anyway! Why do you always go into my room without knocking on the door first, let alone excuse me," said Chintania who even made Noah smile at night.

"I've tried to knock, even say excuse me, but you never open the door of your heart" Noah said with a smile.

Chintania exhales violently, this one man still bitterly pursues and declares love for him. Although not just once, but many times Chintania rejected it, but the man never gave up too. Even his attitude towards Chintania had not changed in the least due to Chintania's rejection.

"I told you I don't love you, I just feel good with you" Chintania said as she walked out of her room followed by Noah. Noah is the best young doctor in the hospital with a myriad of accomplishments.

"You knew? The first two people fell in love because they felt comfortable, "sahut Noah who aligned his footsteps with Chintania.

"Not everything is like that"for Chintania, who disagrees with Noah,"Many doctors and nurses like you, why are you chasing after me who clearly doesn't love you? You will only waste your precious time in vain" Chintania said at length as he continued to step out of the hospital.

"I don't love them, I just love you,"that Noah wouldn't give up on getting his girlfriend,"We had dinner together, yuk!"invite Noah who is still persistent to approach Chintania.

"I've had an appointment for dinner with my mama," declined Chintania ethereal.

"Eating three, it's more exciting,"that Noah did not want to give up, making Chintania shake her head with Noah's persistence to get her love.

At Chintania's house, Mama Nia seemed hesitant to knock on the door of the princess' room. After breathing a few times, Nia's mother finally knocked on the door of the room as well.

Geck!Geck!Geck!

"Darling, can you come in?"mama Nia said from outside Chintania's room.

"Like it, ma. Not in the key, "sahut Chintania from inside her room.

Mama Nia opened the door and went into her daughter's room, "Are you busy, baby?"asked Mama Nia sitting on the edge of the bed to start a chat.Sedangkan Chintania leaning on the headboard of the bed while straightening her legs holding her laptop.

Chintania who was focusing on the screen of his laptop with fingers that move agilely on the keyboard of his laptop was stopping his activity, too, then looked at the middle-aged woman sitting on the edge of her bed at the end of her leg, "Did you want to talk about something important?"ask Chintania while closing the laptop.

"Tell me, ma! What does your mom want to talk about?"tanya Chintania stared fixedly at her mother's bead eyes, "Mama Just say it! Don't hesitate!"pinta Chintania who saw doubt in her mother's eyes.

"Darling, do you have someone you love?"mama asked, hesitating.

"No, ma. To date, no man has been able to interest me. What's the matter, ma? Don't tell me you want to match me?"ask Chintania who is trying to guess which way her mother talks.

"Honey, our hospital was almost bankrupt because there were some people who did corruption. But someone helped mom and dad until the hospital did not go out of business. And now.the man asked something from mama," said mama Nia in a soft voice at the end of the sentence, looking down with a lethargic face.

"Don't tell me if that guy asked Mama to match me up with his son?"guess Chintania. In terms of business things like this often happen and have become an open secret. Business marriages are often done by business people to get a son-in-law at the same time to get an injection of funds.

"No! He doesn't want to match his son, but he wants to match his granddaughter with you.We'll meet tomorrow at dinner. If you both agree, you will get married. But if you disagree.."the woman paused her words staring fixedly at Chintania's bead eyes, "Mama would feel bad about that person. Moreover, most of our hospital stock is theirs, "sahut mama Nia, downcast.

Chintania let out a deep breath and massaged her nose shaft. From the words of his mother did not explicitly tell him to accept the match. But it clearly implies that if he does not agree with the match, then they are like people who do not know the return.

"Alright, I will accept all the decisions of mama," said Chintania resigned.

"Mama listen, she's a widower, Nia. But many say, if he was very handsome," said mama Nia from a listless tone to be excited.

"OKAY. The widow is okay too. Origin should not be combined or made into honey is enough for me, "chintania said really resigned.

"Thank you, baby!"mama Nia said with a big smile.

After what she wanted to talk about was done, Mama Nia came out of Chintania's room, "Sorry! It shouldn't be you in this position," muttered mama Nia staring at the door of Chintania's room with a sad face.

While in the room, Chintania seemed silent, slowly walking towards the balcony of her room. His eyes were fixed on the bright sky with the bright moon shining and the stars scattered.

"I never thought I'd end up being a widow. Somehow it seems, how old is he and how is his battle, and what is the cause of him being a widower.But, what can I do?"

"Mama never asked for anything from me as her daughter. It is not good if I refuse the request of the one who has cared for and raised me, "the muttered Chintania stood leaning against the glass window of her room, looking up at the sky with a bright shining moon and scattered stars.

"Young?"muttered Chintania laughed insipidly as if laughing at herself.

...🌟"Man never knows, in what way and how, he and his soul mate will meet....

...One thing is certain, the soul mate will come on time, without being able to be pending, paused, let alone skipped by you."🌟...
