Secrets of the Former (Love Left Behind)

Eighty Two

Some say, when you lose your father figure, life is like being shaken by an earthquake. However, when the figure of the missing mother means a tsunami that arrives.

Gantari stepped into Sila Hospital, after a long time. Although the departure of the mother was long enough, but still Gantari's legs trembled when treading it. Not unwilling, nor sincere, but whose name memories will remain and be stored in the heart.

"Dance!"

Sister Irma shouted with a face of sumringah. He hasn't worn a uniform yet, it looks like he just came too.

"Sister Irma," Gantari replied with a big smile.

Irma walked closer, then hugged Gantari tightly. "Kangen," he said while shaking Gantari's body.

"Silver is healthy, right?"

Irma relaxed her embrace, then nodded strongly. "How are you?"

"Alhamdulillah. Healthy, Brother."

"Female dr. Farez, huh?" guess Irma, then glanced at the circular watch on her right wrist. "It should still be there, anyway. There's no surgery till morning."

Gantari nodded in understanding. "Nyari Kak Irma too. Same Sister Mirna," said Gantari hurriedly, afraid of arising misunderstanding.

Irma looked at Gantari inside. His eyes turned soft. "Today's Miss Moon's birthday, huh?"

It was not that Gantari did not want to answer, but her throat was choked. So, he just nodded with a bitter smile on his lips.

Nevan checked his phone again and again there was no reply from Gantari.

Busy, huh?

"Mas, the concept is changed. How's it?"

Nevan frowned. This is the second time Mariah has called her "Mas". However, her focus was back on the information Mariah conveyed about the concept that had suddenly changed.

"How's it changed?"

A man in a casual style came over and wanted to give an explanation to Nevan.

"Sorry, Sir. There's a little change."

Nevan sighed, then took a quick look around. It is impossible to discuss such a thing in the open, especially in front of the workers.

"Prepare a meeting" Nevan said quickly, then stepped away.

Dismissed Nevan hopes to return home early to Jakarta. Two-day plans can add up like this.

"Alhamdulillah do not eat canteen food today," said Farez when he saw Gantari open the lid of the lunch box.

"Marry meal, Doc. Let there be a masakin," Irma's seductive welcome nods agree from Mirna. The two of them were already sitting in front of Gantari complete with nurse uniforms.

Meanwhile, Farez sat next to Gantari in a sky-blue t-shirt. Tired face after overtime vanished already when got news Gantari came with chicken stew.

"No need to hide, deh. I'm single" Farez replied, pretending to be upset.

"Loh, who was dong last night, Doc?" Gantari flirted, made the two sisters in front of her glare, then screamed.

Some canteen visitors turned their heads, making Farez immediately clicked asking the two sisters to be silent. They are in the canteen facility. Who would dare to reject Farez? Mah cafeteria employees are nothing if only about modusin borrow plates and spoons.

"Dihyan, don't gossip, yeah. We're just ...."

"Approach?" cut off Gantari and the two sisters shouted again.

Gosh darn.

Farez resigned and chose to bite the fried tempe made by Gantari. He misses this taste. A taste that carries the name of a feeling.

Seeing Farez who had started the execution, Irma and Mirna did not want to be embarrassed anymore. They had scooped rice, chicken stews, plus top fried tempeh to their respective plates and immediately threw compliments as usual.

Gantari chose to eat and indulge in joking during breakfast. For him Farez, Irma, Mirna, and Sila Hospital have a special place in his heart.

"breed. Discipline, dong. Later got angry with the head of the new treatment tau," teased Farez as if he was revenge, making the two sisters in front of him scowl.

"First, yes, Gantari." Mirna hugged Gantari at a glance. "Thank you for the food. It's delicious."

Meanwhile, Irma only patted Gantari's shoulder. He's scared too late. "Later on call, yeah, Tar. I'm ahead of the doctor's insinuations that approach."

Irma ran away because Farez almost pulled her hand, making Gantari laugh.

"Aren't there any more schedules?" gantari asked Farez, who was still leaning on the chair, fullness.

"Let's go later in the afternoon again" replied Farez put on a tired look. "Not coming home, I guess. Just want to sleep here."

Gantari. He knew very well about Farez's habits. The young doctor often sleeps in the hospital after overtime.

"Dihyan?" Farez's raut turned serious. "Someone wants me to tell you."

Hearing the intonation of the voice and the look on Farez's face made Gantari frown.

"What?"

Farez did not answer. He just stared at Gantari with an illegible look.

"Farez?"

"Eh?" Farez nodded, then scratched his head with his index finger.

"Dihyan ...." Farez straightened his body to face Gantari. He again seemed hesitant, but then finally continued, "As long as your mother is cared for here there is a woman who regularly visits her every month."

Gantari returned Farez's gaze unblinkingly. His eyes widened slightly when he heard Farez's confession just now.

"He always comes in the middle of the month and takes care of your mother three days in a row. Then, go again. So it continues to repeat up to five years," explained Farez.

Gantari could not hide her surprise. Five year routine?

"Why never tell me? What if he's a bad guy?" cerca Gantari sharp.

"I know." Farez lowered his gaze. He knows he's guilty. "I originally wanted to tell you, but he forbade. He said, afraid you'd forbid seeing Miss Moon."

"Who? She who?" urge Gantari to be impatient.

Farez raised his head again, then shook his head. "I don't know, but he's called Jero. Women in their early 60s or late 50s" Farez said.

"Farez." Gantari was disappointed. Farez could have done something as reckless as that. Letting a stranger freely meet his mother.

"I saw it myself, Dihyan. She really took care of Bu Bulan affectionately. She said, Miss Moon reminds her of her missing son. Therefore, I agreed to hide it from you," continued Farez carefully.

"Where is he now? Does he know about my mother?"

"She had even met Bu Bulan in person when she came to her senses."

Gantari's eyeballs grow. He looked back at Farez without blinking.

"I called him" I'm Farez. "I told her that Miss Moon was kissing and she came crying right away."

"He talked to my mom?"

Farez nodded. He lowered his head again, feeling guilty for just telling Gantari everything.

"I'm watching him. But, it seems your mother .. knew him."
