The Charm of the Penoda
Birthmarks
Birthmarks
In the ICU room of a large hospital in the city, Leksi was standing next to an incubator. The weak little baby Lela had just born, was inside. The red-skinned baby continued to fall asleep, but Lexsi was very happy to see it, because on her closed face it was similar to her.
His feelings were so moved, realizing the fact that he had become a father. He never expected or thought at all in his mind. However, when he saw the child was born as if his heart had soared.
After being satisfied to see the baby that had been sealed in the glass box, Leksi went to another room, where Lela was. Since his arrival, the girl was still closed and could not be ascertained until when he realized.
By the time Lexsi reached the room, Leo was already standing at the door and waiting for her.
It's been all night that Leo's been busy following his employer's orders to do this and that's for Lela's sake. Although he does not know who the girl is, but he has prepared all his needs in Leksi's private apartment.
During his time in the city and taking care of his company, Lexsi lived with both of his parents in the Humaish extended family home. However, at this time he could not possibly take Lela and her son directly there. He has not talked about anything about his actions. Moreover, he was worried if his mother and father did not like the girl of his choice.
The worry was not about his parents, but about Lela. If they can't accept it, he doesn't want Lela to be treated badly.
Meanwhile, Leo sees all the actions that Lexsi does to Lela, leading her to think that her master is in love and believes that she will be his wife. The proof is that they already have children, I don't know when it happened.
Leo was pleased with the reality he saw now because it meant Leksi still believed in him. Although he was a little troubled because he was asked to take care of all the needs of the woman his master loved, he still did well. Even this is confidential.
Leo felt he still had another chance, to get back in his original position. However, he does not know where the girl sided, Lela's opinion of the work that Leksi will do later, very influential on him. Whether he supports Lexsi remains CEO or a farmer. Lela's choice and comfort in the Lexsi profession, means a lot.
“Is your son okay, Mister?” lexsi asked, when Lexsi was in front of her, before the door to the auction room opened.
Lexsi nodded, with no meaningful expression on her face.
“Are you going to marry her, sir? She already has a child ...” asks Leo again.
Asked like that, Lexsi looked at Leo sharply, then glanced at the door of Lela's room that was still tightly closed. He placed two guards on the left-right side, preventing anyone from being free to enter and exit there, but he was worried that Lela would run away from him again, you know the girl will be awake later.
Lexsi still doubts whether to actually marry her or not, because she has not talked about it to both parents. However, after seeing his son born now, he changed his mind. He will get married as soon as possible, even if his parents disagree. All he did for the sake of his son, and also Lela.
Lexsi had imagined that the boy would grow up and garden with him, when he saw the boy in the incubator. How fun it would be to teach his son to grow crops, and also take care of all his livestock.
Leksi grunted softly, in the end he said, “That's none of your business!”
“I know, it's none of my business .. but I'm sure that you will marry her, somehow I think that girl suits you, Mr.”
Leo's words like persuasion include hope. He thinks Lexsi will be calmer and more focused on having a companion.
“I haven't talked about it, but alright, I'll take care of it later!”
“Sure, Sir. I will definitely help.”
Lexsi looked away, after catching Leo's words that held something back, but he ignored them. Then, he opened the room door and sat down by the bed, where Lela was still unconscious as well, after closing the door again
“When are you going to wake up?” he said while rubbing Lela's cheek. The girl looked more plump than when they first met. He continued to observe, clasping his hands as if giving strength.
“Wake! Don't you miss your son?” said again.
Suddenly the door opened from the outside and Leimena entered without permission. The guards did not forbid, because they knew he was a doctor at the hospital. From last night he stayed up late to prepare a room for Lela and wait for her arrival. Once the woman is in the right place, she can just rest. After that, he immediately returned to Lela's room, his body had already returned refreshed and cleaned.
“You are, just surprise!” exciting Lexsi.
“Ya.”
“Now go!” the word Leimena makes Lexi unhappy because it seems to drive him away.
“Why did you kick me out?”
Leimena looked at Lela and Leksi in turn, taking a deep breath.
“Are you not tired, Lex?”
“No!”
Leimena sneered at her over-enthusiastic best friend just because of a woman. Looks like the guy just fell in love, but already has a child anyway! Hid.
“Let me wait for him here!”
Lexsi did not answer him but threw an annoyed look at Leimena.
“Don't think bad, I'm a Doctor here, so I'll replace you, maybe you want to eat, aren't you hungry?”
“No need!” Lexsi answered him indifferently.
While Leimena looks riled because she feels the need to drive Leksi from there, she just wants to make sure something to Lela, of course without the knowledge of her best friend.
“Listen, Lex! Look at you and reflect! Do you think Lela likes it when she wakes up and sees you like this? Your hair, mustache beard is all messy, your clothes from yesterday, you haven't replaced them!”
Leimena was silent for a moment to see Lexsi's reaction.
“Lex, take a shower, let Lela see you clean and you're free to kiss her, lest she vomit when you get close!”
Ck!
“You are!”
“I said, a newly operated person usually nausea due to the influence of anesthesia .. If you approach and you have not taken a bath, it can trigger nausea more severe! Do you want your woman to vomit and hate you even more?”
Lexsi remained silent.
“In my opinion, he will definitely find you if he knows your child is pregnant, but see if he prefers to leave, doesn't that mean he doesn't want to see you? Especially if you're like this, consider my advice, Lex!”
Without answering anything, Leksi walked out of the room with a sour face. He was upset, despite knowing that what Leimena said was true.
After Leksi's departure, Leimena stared tiredly as she opened the lid of the oxygen tube attached to her nose after taking a deep breath she closed the oxygen tube back.
“Is that really him?” muttered Lemena, then she flicked the little hospital clothes Lela was wearing on her shoulder, and rubbed the shoulder gently, where there was a birthmark there.
His eyes closed while looking up, again he murmured, “Yes God, it was true it was him!”
