TASTE (I'M A Doctor)

S.2 New beginnings

"Assalamualaikum. Mama how are you?"I said to my mom across the phone

"Waalaikumsalam darling. Mama's fine, son. When you go home. Mama missuu" replied the mother sounding a little pleading.

I smiled "not knowing yet. Al is still very busy to finish this final thesis but Al promises to be home soon" I tenangku

"You have taken care of your health do not always stay up late and do not forget to eat sick. Don't forget to pray son"

"Yesa yaa ma. You also take care of the health of love youuu more. Titip salam is also the same papa and eyang"

"Yeah baby. Assalamualaikum Darling"

"Waalaikum salam ma. Tuttt's.tuttt"

The phone connection was cut off.

Yes since the departure of Raka everything changed with the passage of time but not with me. I who had been down now have risen again and decided to connect the lecture back in the land of Ginseng.

It doesn't feel like it's been 5 years since Raka left. Not much has changed with me, just as I used to be different, only my attitude tends to be quieter and cooler to the people around me. I was just friends with Ani, her son from the village. Mama begged to take Ani away with me even though I strongly opposed but mama continued to beg and finally I obeyed my mother's wishes.

"Non't hungry?" Ask Ani

I turned my eyes to Ani who was standing in front of my bedroom door "just An" I replied

"Can Ani enter non?" Ask again.

I nodded, allowing him to enter my room.

"Aren't you bored?" Ask her again.

I also glanced at the source of the voice "are you bored An?" Ask me back

He did not answer and just looked down "An if I please answer"

He nodded in response yes.

I smiled, "Ani Ani answered that too, very scared. I told you to relax with me. You don't have to be afraid to think of me as your brother or your friend"

"Ba.aik miss" she replied still nervous. Ani is very innocent and very honest even though we have lived together for about 4 years still he was very shy or a little afraid of me. Even like that sometimes he acts very funny which makes me a little amused by him.

"Well we'll eat out today and all go shopping monthly. Food stock is almost gone"

"Alhamdulillah is well prepared Miss" he replied with vigor.

He was very excited to go out with me. Of course he's excited because he only comes out if he and I are going to go shopping monthly. I very often told him to shop alone but he never wanted to because he was traumatized by the events of 2 years ago

The flashback

I who just woke up was surprised to hear the sound of Ani "An where are you now? " many

"It doesn't know Miss. Please Ani please hikss hikkss hikkss"

"Wait there, don't go where"

I got up and immediately searched for the keys and rushed to catch up with my car. I also tracked down Ani's mobile phone GPS and I finally found her whereabouts.

After I got there I immediately saw Ani sitting down crying at one of the stops with some people surrounding her.

"Sorry oppa this is my sister" I said to the man standing in front of Ani

He nodded and gave way.

I also took Ani to the car.

"How can you be like this, An? Go alone anyway you don't know much language here" asked Ani who was calm.

" An.i was going to buy. Non meatballs because the meatballs are over. Ani wants to make Non food so Ani goes alone"

I shook my head "next time don't repeat it" I replied, massaging my temple with my left hand

"Non's got a headache, huh?"

I nodded "yes a little" replied I who was still focused on looking at the road

"As Ani's apology, Ani will massage Non's head"

I nodded again in agreement to Ani's offer

*f*lashback off

"Would you like to buy ice cream?" My bidar to Ani

Ani also excitedly nodded her mark she strongly agreed.

Now after shopping we enjoy the ice cream at the park. The weather is very good today because it has entered spring.

My age and Ani are 6 years because Ani when she came with me she just graduated High School. I am 27 years old now but I am still reluctant to open my heart to a man. The fear of loss still enveloped my heart. I don't know until when I don't know let it all go by itself.

Mama also never discussed soul mate or marriage to me because she did not want to make me sad for a long time.
