Reaching the Remaining Taste

CHAPTER ~ 5 SONS OF PAK KECORO

The third day Sheila carried out her duties as a personal doctor, Mr. Kuncoro. As usual, he stopped by his house to check on his health. In fact, his health was no problem and everyone knew it.

Security who was in charge of opening the gate immediately saw Sheila's car. Slowly Sheila parked her car and entered the luxury home. He was then led by the hostess to the room where Pak Kuncoro was located.

As she was about to enter Pak Kuncoro's room, Sheila's eyes heard a slightly crowded voice with laughter. Has Mr Kuncoro's son arrived yet ? Sheila recalled many times Mr. Kuncoro said that his son would come home soon because his studies were over, but Sheila only responded with a smile after all he did not know him either.

“Pa, doctor Mila has arrived.” Kalisha's mother's words stopped the conversation of the two men of different ages.

“Please do the job, doctor ,,” Pak Kuncoro hinted for Sheila to come in and the man sitting with his back to Sheila stood up and turned his back to see the doctor referred by the papa.

For a moment Sheila's eyes were rubbed with Pak Kuncoro's son. Sheila's body stiffened and tried to neutralize her feelings. He couldn't have mistaken people, the man he was looking at was the same person who left him without a message six years ago. Sheila immediately averted her gaze before the handsome man noticed it. Lucky every time he visited Pak Kuncoro's house he always wore a mask as a health protocol. Without wasting any time, Sheila immediately did her job while the young man continued to stare at Sheila unblinkingly.

“Oh yes doc, introduce my son Abimana whom you often tell.” Mr. Kuncoro introduced the man he claimed to be his son.

Sheila simply smiled behind her mask and nodded her head without intending to extend her hand. Sheila just focused on checking out Kuncoro sir .

“How do doc ?” Kuncoro asked because Sheila did not ask him to talk as usual.

“All good sir. I say goodbye first, there is family business.” Sheila replied softly so that her voice would not be heard by the young man.

Sheila is shocked to see the whereabouts of the man who once left her without a word of breaking. Sheila regretted her attitude that only focused on her work even though Mr. Kuncoro had a family photo in the living room of the house.

Sheila never thought of reuniting with her past that she could never forget. Not because Sheila has not been able to move on, it is proven that she had a story with Ferdy even though they eventually broke up. Sheila was just curious Abiman left it fitting again alas. Sheila took a deep breath and rushed out of Pak Kuncoro's room. But before he managed to reach the door a voice stopped his steps.

“Wait for doctor ,,,” Abimana chasing Sheila.

“Papa I hurt what, doc ?” Continue with a serious face.

“Totally exhausted.” Sheila replied flatly and slightly changed her voice.

Sheila tried to master her feelings so that her voice would not shake and look the other way. Sheila was afraid of making direct eye contact with the handsome man in front of her. The myriad of flavors in Sheila's chest made her feel tight.

“Sorry do I know you, doc ?” Abhimana felt familiar with the clear eyes in front of her. Those eyes reminded him of someone but he didn't want to be rash.

Sheila wanted to shout her name but her clear mind still controlled her brain until she finally answered with a headband. Then he turned his body and left the man.

‘Doctor weird. But how do I know him?’ The mind of Abhimana wondered.

“Lho, Abi ,, why see doctor Mila all the way. Kalisha and Pak Kuncoro deliberately use the last name Sheila he said to be different from other patients. Remember you know tomorrow we will attend the engagement event of papa's best friend at the same time meet your future wife.” Kalisha's speech made Abimana's mood worse.

“Ma, I told you I would look for my girlfriend when I was in High School.”

“Do not find trouble, son. That girl must have been married and had a child. You want to be a player ? Take care of our family's good name.” Kalisha was completely clueless with the path of his only son's mind.

“Give me time to look for her, ma. I just arrived.” too

“There is no reason dear, come tomorrow. We are also in no hurry to marry you.” Kalisha's words do not want to be denied.

Abimana could only stare at her mother nanar who was walking into her room. Because he felt tired of traveling long distances, Abimana finally entered his room. Abhimana laid his tired body on the bed he left six years ago. I don't know why Abimana thought about Dr. Mila.

‘My feeling is like knowing doctor Mila ?’ The mind of Abhimana continues to dig into his memory before he leaves the homeland.

Abhimana felt she had known Dr. Mila. He believes the girl was one of his school friends during Junior High School because shortly after the announcement he immediately disappeared. More precisely run away from papa and his mother because he was upset to be betrothed when he had a lover.

The flashback

“Pa, ma ,, Abi will bring a girl to be introduced to you. I love her so much, pa, ma ,,,"

“No need, Bi ,, papa has already betrothed you to a friend's child papa.” Reply Kalisha firmly.

Abhimana could only be silent at the words of her mother. For this one he can not argue with the mother but he also can not accept the match just like that.

Flashback off

Tiredness and longing in his mattress fused with Abimana's self so that he immediately fell asleep. Together with the hope to soon meet with Sheila the occupant of her heart all this time.

While Sheila with a pale face entered her house that was already crowded by relatives. Half-runningly he headed for his room on the second floor.

“So really Abi, right ?” Sheila muttered as if dreaming.

I don't know what Sheila is feeling right now. His memory goes back to the past where Abimana disappeared somewhere. How Sheila was doing until she almost lost her chance to become a doctor. Luckily, his father and his mother understood and encouraged him until he managed to rise and organize his future

The man appeared again before him. Sheila is determined not to be caught up with her past. He lives in the present and the past is just a failed story. Abhimana's presence moved her heart to immediately have a lover and it was not Abimana.

“Shel ,,, Sheila ,, can mama enter ?”

“Log in ma, unlocked kok.” Sheila screamed from her daydream.

“Lho hasn't cleaned yet ? Hunting shower then down, people waiting for you.”

“Iya ma, twenty minutes, yes ,,,”

Sheila is still tired of working all day then to Pak Kuncoro's house and the peak of his fatigue is because he meets again with his past. Luckily, he wore a mask so Abhimana did not recognize him.

Finished with the bathing ritual, Sheila immediately went down, she did not want to make her big family wait too long.

“Sorry make aunt and om wait.” Sheila immediately joined the family surrounding the dining table.

“Don't be too ngoyo work, remember find a soul mate because as great as a woman he still needs a man as his life companion.”

“Iya, aunt,, Sheila also wants to have a family just haven't met a suitable one.” Reply Sheila as is.

“Usaha that is harder or maybe should be betrothed as well as Alisha.” Timpal aunt Mala, the papa's sister.

We'll have dinner, Sheila's stomach was rumbling, lunch was a little.” Sheila said, switching the conversation.

Although Sheila wants to have a lover but for a marriage she has not thought about it, Sheila still wants to pursue her goal of becoming a specialist doctor and replace her father in the company. Sheila sometimes thinks of regretting her parents having only two daughters. If only they had three children then he should not be confused to put himself between being a doctor or replacing the father.

If only Alisha was as smart as herself, Sheila would be happy to give up Alisha who replaced the father. But Alisha is so different, she seems to have a brain not half as intelligent as Sheila's. I don't know what her mother used to crave when she was pregnant with Alisha. A thousand words should it fill Sheila's head tonight.

Dinner continues. No more talk about Sheila's wedding. Om and aunty Sheila are very understanding of the nature of their ponakan who never knew the word give up for his ideals. Although a little scared if no man dares to propose to Sheila because it is too classy for a young girl.
