"How's your brother Bayu doing? Did he never come home?" The doctor began to ask.
I was a little stunned by the question of Doctor Vilia. Why did he suddenly ask Kak Bayu.
"Hmm, sister Bayu came home during my wedding" I replied.
"Oohh, I regret not being able to attend your wedding. At that time my mother was ill, so I had to go back to Sukabumi."
I looked at her face that looked disappointed, but a smile remained etched on her lips.
"Sorry doc, why did the doctor suddenly ask Kak Bayu?" I was cautiously afraid to offend him.
"Ah is okay. I just..." His words stopped he turned his face away. And his finger rubbed the tip of his eye. I know she's crying. He was just trying to cover his tears.
"Is there anything the doctor wants to say about Bayu? I'm sorry doc, maybe it's the privacy of the doctor, but if telling a story can reduce tightness, tell a story... I will listen to what the doctor is saying right now" I assured him.
"Thank you Natasha for the time. I never thought my first love would be so hard to forget. Even after being separated for years. Bayu still fills the space of my heart"
Without any more embarrassment, the Vilia doctor took out his heart. I was just a listener. Don't want to advise him. She is the same age as my sister.
Doctor Vilia was a friend of Bayu's high school during Junior High School. They also had a love affair, more precisely the love of monkeys. Doctor Vilia is Bayu's first love. Likewise with Doctor Vilia, Kak Bayu is his first love.
They separated when Bayu decided to become a sailor. But the doctor Vilia objected to the ideals of Kak Bayu. Finally, Kak Bayu prefers to pursue his ideals that have been from childhood he wants. Maybe at that time Sis Bayu did not think too much about love because he was still a child who just stepped into adulthood.
But until now also about the soul mate brother Bayu gave up all the same above. Not thinking too much about it. He thought more of a soul mate for me than of his own.
Didn't know that her monkey love was so amazing. Maybe they still love each other. Because until now doctors Vilia and Bayu brother are both unmarried. While Bayu, reportedly being close to women from Turkey. Whether it is true or not, because until now brother Bayu has not introduced the woman to my family directly.
After the two of them separated, the two had never been in a romantic relationship with the other. Still with their respective singles status. With reason still pursuing his ideals. Their farewell was over ten years.
Moreover, what are they looking for, the job already exists, the money has been a lot, the ideals are difficult to achieve, then what else????. it seems their love is blocked by the gap.
I can't bear to say that Bayu's sister is close to a Turkish woman. Surely doctor Vilia will be very disappointed, but if I don't say it now, I'm afraid that doctor Vilia will continue to hope for Bayu.
"OK, if you may know, have any of you ever said the word wait for me ?" My toot. Doctor Vilia seemed to think for a moment then she shook her head slowly.
"It seems like it was just me who was expecting our love to continue. Because until now Bayu has never contacted or met me"
"Why do doctors put hope in Kak Bayu if the doctor himself knows Kak Bayu does not want it?" I'm getting curious about their overly complicated story.
"Although Bayu and I have no communication, I always find out about Bayu through one of our friends. Through him I know that until now Bayu has not been married, even he has never been close to any woman, from which I consider Bayu still love me" he said so sure.
"If if Bayu's sister is close to another woman, does the doctor still expect Bayu's sister?" Doctor Vilia looked at me sharply as I said those words.
"I will stop hoping that Bayu is really married to another woman"
Turns out doctor Vilia is a woman who does not easily give up or surrender with the circumstances . I picked up the mango juice that I had ignored earlier. Siphoned it. A cold chill ran down my throat.
"Why doctors do not try to open the heart to others. I'm sure many want to be a doctor's life partner"
Oh God turns out the love of doctor Vilia so deep against sister Bayu. I can't bear to tell him about Bayu's sister being close to another woman. Moreover, I myself still doubt Bayu.
"Did the doctor not want to communicate with Kak Bayu?"
Doctor Vilia just silently looked at me. From the look in his eyes he actually wanted it. Just don't have the courage.
"I don't want Bayu to be bothered by my presence. Because I used to be the only person who did not support him to achieve his goals. I don't want Bayu to hate me for hindering his success" he said slowly.
"Dok, I think you guys really need to talk. So that there will be no more doubt among you. If you still love each other, you can continue your relationship. But if Bayu already does not love the doctor, the doctor must accept it and no longer hope for Bayu. The doctor should be able to open the heart to other men. I'm sure the doctor will get a much better man than Bayu's sister"
Finally got my advice too. I've been holding him. But always put it away. I hope Doctor Vilia is not offended by my words. Doctor Vilia fell silent, maybe she was still thinking of my advice.
"But does Bayu still want to talk to me?"
"How do we know the answer if it hasn't been tried" I replied lightly.
I took out the phone I had in my bag. Then I contacted Kayu through a video call.
Up to two calls, my calls were not answered.
"Maybe he's busy. Let's try it next time" I ignored Doctor Vilia's words, I tried again to make a call. And finally, Brother Bayu received my call. There was a handsome wooden face wearing his pride uniform.
"Assalamualaikum sis"
"Waalaikumsalam" A sweet smile was seen from her lips.
"Tumben call brother, what's up ? kangen is the same brother?" I never called Bayu. Because rarely does Bayu take a call. Kak Bayu is the one who contacts when there is free time.
"Yes kangen brother, but I'm not the one who misses"
Bayu's eyebrows are linked to be astonished by my answer.
"Who?"
"Someone, someone from the past"
"Udah dong don't talk stale brother doesn't have much time nih"
"I'm not very impatient anyway" I pointed my rear camera at Doctor Vilia. So that the face of the beautiful doctor Vilia on my phone screen. Sis Bayu sharpened his eyesight trying to recognize the beautiful face of doctor Vilia.
"Do you remember who he is?" My toot. For the past four years Vilia's doctor has been my family's doctor, but has never met Bayu's sister at home. Because Bayu rarely comes home.
"Vilia?"
Sis Bayu was a little surprised when he realized this beautiful woman was Vilia, his former lover as a teenager.
