The Bond of Our Love

CHAPTER 44 - Am I Really In Love??

"Oh yeah, I'll have an operation soon. You wait here for a minute is okay? I promise, later after that I will take you for a walk like the advice of Doctor Jenar" said Fajar as they were walking on the hospital corridor.

"It doesn't matter, I can wait"

"Good afternoon Doctor Dawn, Miss Shreya. Doc, are you ready? We've been waiting in the operating room" Vera who just appeared with a woman in nurse uniform immediately greeted them kindly.

"Yes-yes, just a second yes" Fajar glanced at Shreya who was standing by his side. "Yes, Ratih will accompany you as long as I am on duty. You're fine here" Dawn spoke to Shreya, pointing to the young nurse who seemed to be about the same age as Shreya who was standing next to Vera.

"Yes" Shreya nodded. Dawn passes with Vera, leaving Shreya with Ratih.

"Mother Shreya wants to stay here or where now? Let me accompany" Tawar Ratih kindly.

"Mmmm..... I think I want security. There the place must be fresher and more beautiful"

"Well, I'll accompany you there. Mari Bu" Politely and respectfully, Ratih guided Shreya towards the back garden of the hospital.

"Oh yeah, do you want to eat or do you want to drink something? Let me find" Tawar Ratih when they are at the park.

"Mmmm..... I'm not hungry, but I'm thirsty. Could you please buy me a fresh drink?"

"Yes ma'am of course I can. Then I'll get a card first, ma'am. Mom, wait here until I get back. Don't go anywhere, Mom. Because I'm currently being assigned by the doctor of Dawn to look after Mom"

"Yes Sus. Take it easy, I'm not going anywhere"

Ratih left Shreya with a heavy heart, because he had to fulfill the woman's request to buy her a drink.

After the nurse's departure, Shreya enjoys the beauty and freshness of the garden. A group of children who were playing with his carefree managed to grab Shreya's attention.

Suddenly a glimpse of the shadow that appeared to him was playing with a bunch of small children and a man flashed through his head. Making his gaze a little blurry, until his head feels dizzy.

Until a ball floated and landed near his feet by rolling around. Shreya watched the ball, and stared around him in confusion.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I accidentally kicked the ball here. Brother is okay, right?" A boy in his 10s reprimanded Shreya with his chauffeur.

"Hem... Yeah, I'm okay. Next time be careful Deck, if playing" Shreya takes the ball under him and hands it to the boy.

"Yes Brother. Then I play again huh" The boy turned around and almost ran, but Shreya's voice managed to stop his steps.

"Wait"

The boy turned around and looked back at Shreya.

"Can I play with you and your friends?" Ask Shreya gently.

"Aren't you serious about playing with us?" The boy asked to make sure.

"Yes, I'm also tired of just staying here from now on"

"Well, let's play"

********

Dawn, who had just completed her surgery two hours later, immediately contacted the nurse to ask her current location so that she could catch up with Shreya.

The nurse told me she was in the back of the hospital.

"Suster Ratih, where's Shreya? Wasn't she with you?" Ask Fajar when he arrives at the park.

"Mother Shreya is there Doc" Ratih pointed to Shreya who was playing happily with a number of children in the middle of the park.

"The doctor said, I was told to look after and accompany Ms. Shreya so that she was okay and not bored. I see, he is very happy to play with those kids. So I'm just waiting for him here" Ratih said hesitantly.

"Yes no problem. Now you can go back to work. Thanks for taking care of her"

"sama Doc. Then excuse me" Train passed.

Dawn again looked at the woman who was cool chatting with the children in the park. Unknowingly a warm smile on his lips. He was so impressed by the sight before his eyes.

It is like seeing an angel descending from a shadow. An angel who with his magic is able to make anyone near him smile and laugh freely.

Seeing how the woman could blend in and make friends with the children, it seemed imaginable how she would become a mother. Of course she will be a good mother and be considered an angel without wings by her child, right?

Luckily the man who could have the woman. If he had been given the opportunity to make her his real wife. He will be very happy and will never waste it.

"Is she pretty?"

"Yes, very"

"Is he very attractive?"

"Of course"

"Did the doctor feel anything when he saw it?"

The effect of being too focused on staring and admiring his fake wife, Dawn to forget the presence of his ignorant assistant who had been with him and was smiling to tease him.

"No meaning whatsoever. It's just, feeling

I said if the Doctor started to feel more, at that fake Madame Shreya" With lips still shining a seductive smile, Vera pointed at Shreya who was still unaware of their presence in the middle of the park there.

"What did you say Vera? You know how I relate to him. Everything I do, all the forms of attention I give her, is nothing more than a basic humanity"

"The mouth may say no Doc, but whose heart knows? Because I feel like what the Doctor said, it doesn't match what the Doctor feels"

"Don't be so smart. Right work" said Fajar irritatedly.

"Not knowing the Dawn Doctor, I was just expressing my thoughts. That'sthat's all. All right, now I ask, does the Doctor feel at ease every time he sees that woman's face? Did the Doctor feel happy when he saw her smile and laugh off like that? Does the doctor feel sad when he sees her in pain?"

"I'm honestly still confused by how I feel right now. I don't know why I feel different every time I see that woman. I feel comfortable, calm and I don't know why I always wanted to protect that woman. Always want to make sure he's okay and not in trouble. What say?"

Dawn said with a confused face and eyes that were still focused on looking at Shreya.

"That's called love Doc. The doctor will not likely pay so much attention if the doctor only sees him as a patient. Except"

"Except?"

"Yes.... Except for more than that. The doctor sees her as a woman the Doctor wants to have"

"Come Vera. My wife's death hasn't been even a year. Is it appropriate for me to think about other women now?" Dawn said softly and looked brightly.

"Why not Doc? Shreya's mother is no longer in this world. The dead will not live again. Those who are still alive must continue to live their lives. Besides I'm sure Doc, Shreya's mother would want Doctor Dawn to find the Doctor's happiness after his departure"

Vera gave her advice wisely. Making Fajar speechless and pensive at the thought of his assistant's words.

********

After returning from the hospital, Fajar invited Shreya to walk in one of the elite malls in Magelang.

"Fajar, what are we doing here?"

"Of course for shopping, what else would you like?"

"Who wants to shop?"

"Of course you are, who else?"

"But I don't want to shop"

"But I want to spend you. Come on, today you're free to choose whatever you want"

"But"

Dawn continues to pull Shreya's hand and take her around the mall, down every store consisting of various famous brands. Starting from clothes, bags, shoes, accessories and make-up.

Dawn continues to spoil him with all kinds of branded goods available in every mall store. Shreya who had tried to resist in the end could only resign, because Dawn did not press his rejection at all.

"His stuff please just bring the car. Later we followed" Dawn said to his two men who brought and carry dozens of paper bags containing a number of Shreya equipment items.

"Okay Sir" The two big and tall men passed at the command of his superiors.

"We eat first, right? You must be hungry, right?"

"Yes"

"Let's go to the restaurant first" Take Fajar, which this time there is no refutation from Shreya, because he is already very hungry. They headed for one of the restaurants that were still in the mall.

At a table not too far from their walking position, a group of young and middle-aged men in neat and formal clothes were seen shaking hands. Looks like they just finished an important business conversation.

One by one the men left the table. Now there are only two other men from different generations who have also left the table that they were sitting on.

But accidentally, the young man who walked in front even hit Shreya, until the woman almost staggered back. Fortunately, Fajar was swiftly holding his shoulder.

"Aww!"

"Shreya, are you okay?" Asked Fajar anxiously which was answered with Shreya's head.

"Mmm, sorry-sorry. I didn't mean it" said the young man who had just hit Shreya, who was none other than Gala.

"Gala, if the road is careful" Tegur Helmi who is behind him.

"Yes Pa" Gala looked at her father then glanced back at Shreya with guilt.

"Miss, I'm sorry. You're okay, right?"

"Yes I'm fine" Shreya replied softly.

"Om Helmi, Gala's sister" Fajar rebukes the father and the child, whom he knows.
