The Imperfect Eve

The Back Garden

Upon arrival at her study, Madame Begum with her graceful demeanor immediately walked towards her seat of greatness. He looks authoritative, his face looks flat but it does not make Cansu daunted. Without saying much, Ms. Begum handed Cansu an important document. Documents containing the health report of her husband, Mr. Arnold Lefrand.

"You must remember all that is written in the report I gave you, do not make the slightest mistake and do not provoke a commotion." For the umpteenth time, Madame Begum showed her dislike for Cansu, whom she had not known for long.

The feeling I never made a mistake, why did Madame Begum act as if I was the culprit that should be avoided. Wahhhh, I really don't like all this. Patience Cansu. Patience. Inner Cansu while trying to calm down.

"I'll always remember what the lady said, even if I can hold on." Reply Cansu relax.

Cansu comes from a family that always put forward affection and love. His house in Bandung is not as big and as big as the Lefrand mansion, but one thing is certain, his family is always happy, unlike the Lefrand family which looks fulfilled by strange rules.

"Well dear lady, if there's no more can I go?" Cansu asked permission to resign, which was then responded with a nod of the head by Ms. Begum.

Doctor Goyal, where did you put me? It's all completely untrue. Cansu grumbled in his heart. He leaves Begum's mistress' office and ends up in the back garden.

Long enough Cansu observed every detail of the report in his hands, what Mr. Arnold liked and what he did not like. He will start working this afternoon which is why he must understand the wishes of his patient's family. In retrospect, working for Ms. Begum was much harder than opening three clinics, Cansu thought.

Thirty minutes had passed, Cansu was completely unaware that it was not just him in the back garden. Some of the men were sitting relaxed while enjoying their wine.

The corner of Cansu's lips slightly raised, he smiled, after waiting for a long time finally Mehek contacted him. The naughty girl seemed to be so busy with her hunt that she forgot her true friend, Cansu Abigail.

"Mmh! This is with Cansu Abigail, how can I help you?" Cansu began to act silly, for some reason if with Mehek his childish attitude always appeared. He spoke as if he did not know his interlocutor.

"This is Mehek Al-Idrus. I want to talk to Miss Cansu, I want to tell her that her stupid cousin is so arrogant and insensitive, I hope she stumbles by her own feet and falls into my arms." Mehek replied seriously, two figures of friends who are currently talking through mobile phone connections seem to be holding back laughter.

"Ooo, really? If so, I'm very impressed. You're insulting but you miss hugs so much. I'll tell Bram to stay away from a woman like you." Reply Cansu was still in a state of holding back laughter.

"Don't. I promise I won't, but boong..." Celoteh Mehek over there.

"Now tell me, how's Mama and Papa doing?" Cansu again asked after his laughter subsided.

"Uncle and Aunt are fine. They were busy with the cake shop. Mas Bram said, lately Uncle and Aunt often go for a walk. They say, with the streets of love those who have entered the age of twilight will be more flowering." Mehek reports to Cansu who seems to be getting serious.

"That's good for them. Tell Mama and Papa I can't go home on the weekend. And another one..." Cansu's words were stuck in his throat.

The four men with good looks were waiting for what Cansu would say next. Stupid Cansu, why does he still not realize that he is not alone? Arsen who was there deliberately did not want to talk so that he knew how bad the girl in front of him was.

"Once you say love in front of me, if you ever turn around, I'll scold you. If necessary, I'll deflect you so no one will look at you." Cansu chirped in a tone of voice as if he was holding back anger.

Mehek who was there, really laughed off hearing Cansu's words. He knew Cansu supported him that's why he felt relieved. Orphans like himself get Cansu as his best friend, it is a blessing from the power.

"will not. I mean, I'm not gonna switch hearts. Your cousin is too attractive to leave alone." Mehek replied in a cheerful voice.

"I've got to help Auntie at the store. I'll call you later, I love you." Mehek said before closing his call.

"I love you too." Reply to Cansu with a faint smile. Their friendship started at High School, an amazing friendship. Although Mehek was only a servant child who worked at his home, Cansu treated him very well, never once did Cansu make Mehek feel uncomfortable. Because for Cansu, none of the humans in this sect deserve humiliation, all humans are the same, which distinguishes only takwa, not treasure.

"Waw, miss Abigail. It's an amazing love story." Chirps Arsen as he walked closer to Cansu who was ten steps away from where he stood.

"Mr Arsen is here, since when?" Cansu asked, he saw Arsen walking over to him. Three other men waved at Cansu just to say hello.
