SECOND BRIDE

Episode 40: Dr. Rafli

“How about the mediation ?” shinta asked who greeted Andre at his home.

“Hana will continue the trial. We will divorce according to his wishes.”

Shinta nodded in understanding and did not want to ask any more about it. He knew very well how much Andre was sad about this.

“Shinta has prepared dinner, has Mas Andre already had dinner ?”

“I've eaten, but seeing you cooking like this makes me hungry again.” Andre washed his hands and walked towards the dining table. Shinta prepared a plate and filled it with rice for Andre.

“you've eaten ?” ask Andre.

“Shinta ate with Aunt earlier. Because Shinta does not want to be romelin again the same this chatty man.” Shinta gave a plate of rice while looking at Andre.

“Smart Kids.” Andre rubbed Shinta's head and rubbed Shinta's distended stomach that was increasingly visible.

Shinta sat next to Andre with a look of annoyance, “Shinta is not a child!”

Shinta and Andre have an improved relationship and are getting better every day. They begin to understand each other and keep each other especially understanding with their feelings.

Their beginnings may seem untrue, but their love is a destiny they cannot resist. The fact about them loving each other is indisputable, now Shinta and Andre decide to keep what they have. Including allowing Hana to take her own happiness without Andre in it.

***

Saka, who is being left by her mother, begins to show her tantrums. Although this was not the first time for Saka, it was still very difficult for the 4-year-old boy to live far away from his parents.

“Saka here equals ua. Help make a cake want ?” train

Saka was still crying and asked where her mother was and told her to go back.

“later ua phone mama let go home cepet, but now want to help the same cake ?”

Saka refused loudly.

“mau play with sister ?” ask Niana

Saka rejected it too

“You eat chocolate ?” ask Naomi

Saka also refused and cried even bigger.

“Main same Om Rafli yuk” Rafli came with mike after finished working in hospital.

Saka looked at Rafli who was walking towards him and immediately ran to hug him. Rafli captures Saka and holds her while calming the 4-year-old. Seeing that sight Ratih nudged Mike with his elbow.

“Look, Saka who is tantrum can be instantly silent after seeing Rafli.” The Brisks

Mike nodded, “You are right, they were brought together here probably because it was arranged by God.”

“What we need to help God open their way” Train sparkling

“No! They will find their own way. Don't rush it Honey.” Mike patted his wife on the back because at this time Ratih was completely obsessed with matching Rafli with Hana.

While Mike and Ratih are talking about him, Rafli is only focused on playing with Saka and his two cousins. His profession as a pediatrician may be the reason Rafli can easily take children's hearts

including Saka.

“What is your relationship always in harmony like this ?” ask Rafli who joined sit next to Mike.

“That's thanks to Doctor Rafli we can spend time together, Doctor Rafli seems to be very suitable with small children.” Praise Ratih while giving one cup and filling it with warm tea from Teko.

“I love to play with children.” Rafli

“Doctor Rafli has certification as a child psychologist, Ratih. So it's appropriate he can understand about the minds of children rather than adults like us.” Obviously Mike

“Created ?” Ratih was quite surprised to hear that fact.

“That's right.” Rafli nodded then sipped the warm tea that had been poured by Ratih.

“How can a doctor take two professions at once, become a pediatrician and child psychologist. Surely it will take the time of the doctor, it's worth it until now the doctor is still at home.”

“I've had a wife.” Obviously Rafli with a smile.

Again Ratih did not believe what Rafli just explained, this time Mike was also quite surprised to hear it for the first time.

“But he's gone, we're divorced. The classic reason, because I'm too busy. Ratih was right, I seemed too forced myself to pursue both titles.” Rafli again sipped his tea because his throat was dry after revealing the fact about him.

“Sorry if I can ask, do you guys have kids ?” ask Ratih

“Ratih..” Mike reprimands Ratih for not wanting his wife to exceed the limit.

“It's okay, we have one child. Our son is very special, he has Asperger Syndrome. Mike certainly knows, this disorder will affect his development, especially when he socializes and communicates. He is also one of the reasons I want to learn about child psychology to understand what he feels and wants. After completing my education, I also plan to undergo education as a special therapy for children with autism.” Rafli.

Ratih and Mike are still listening well, as this is the first time Rafli has dared to open up a bit about him. Rafli has been very friendly but he rarely talks about it

her life.

“But unfortunately when I was done with psychology education, our son got sick. I was busy in the operating room so I couldn't get a call. Our son had a ruptured blood vessel in the brain and was in a coma for almost three months. At that time my relationship with my ex-wife was getting worse, because we kept blaming each other about the situation that our son was in. to the end, he said, our son passed away at the age of 4, very similar to Saka. Maybe that's why, when I see Saka always remind me with our son.”

“You are not trying to improve your relationship after that ?” ask Ratih

Rafli shook his head, “Our relationship had improved, we strengthened each other and promised not to blame each other again.Our relationship looks normal until a year after our son is gone. But at that moment I realized that normal relationships were not really normal. We just kept playing, I kept busy at the hospital because when I was at home I would always remember our son, and my wife who kept lonely because I wasn't home finally found another heart patch and went through that dark relationship.”

“Your wife cheated on you?”

“because seeing this relationship is already unhealthy, we finally agreed to end it.” Rafli.

“You forgive him now ?”

“Who forgives whom, we hurt each other and wound each other. I don't think anyone should apologize or forgive. We just agreed to separate and seek each other's happiness. And here I am now.”

“I did not expect, the problem happened to you Doctor Rafli. I always thought you were single, especially with your face looking so young. People won't know that you've ever

married.”

“I am not trying to cover up the fact that I am married, just people who did not ask me that.” Kelakar Rafli's.

Rafli has really made peace with his past, his fate is arguably almost the same as Hana. The child dies and also the couple is having an affair, maybe that's why Rafli cares enough about Hana

and also Saka.
