The Love Struggle of Doctor Yudha

CHAPTER 24 - Alya's Birthday

Mama Marisa hopes that Dion can join her at her show and meet her son Jeng Sofie.

After dinner with his mom and dad, Dion had a raging heart. Dion's not calm. Dion needs a solution to his problem. Dion is not ready to meet the person he is dating.

"What do I have to do?"

Dion walked back and forth in front of his bed.

"Ah yes I have to ask for a solution with Surya."

Dion grabbed his phone that was in his bed. Dion searches for Surya's name in his contacts.

"Tip..... Tutt..... Tuttt's......."

"Surya where the hell is it? I didn't pick up my phone."

At first glance Dion remembered with Rey his best friend while together in the boarding house. Although Rey does not become his brother because Dion and Karin are not in their matchmaking, Rey is still his best friend. Dion wants to tell her all about his problems with his best friend who happens to be married. Rey can help him solve his problems.

"Tip..... Tutt......"

"Hallo, Dion's Assalamualaikum."

"Hallo, Wa'alaikum Salam Rey."

"Rey I need a solution."

"What solution is Dion? You speak slowly, don't rush."

"I like someone but they are 3 years older than me. What do you think Rey is?"

"Nothing the heck Dion age is not a barrier in establishing a relationship. Fight for your love for her. You don't remember that Risa and I are older than Risa in terms of age. Although not for a year. But my household is fine. Tell me from the beginning, let me understand, and I'll give you the best solution."

"Well, I'll tell you everything, Rey."

Dion then recounted the incident when he was in a hurry and accidentally hit Alya so that his cellphone was smashed into pieces and until Alya his hand was injured by broken glass. Then by accident Dion touched Alya's hand because of an emergency he had to immediately treat Alya's hand which was hit by broken glass. Dion wants to change his phone but Alya does not want to be replaced. Alya wants Dion to take responsibility for all his mistakes and make him as his assistant to type the script. Rey only understands that Dion likes is Alya, his upperclassman and BEM treasurer who at that time led Rey and Dion who happened to be in a group during Ospek.

"So that's the story of Rey. I don't want to meet the person I'm betrothed to. Because my heart has been filled with women who are none other than Alya and in a week my mother invites to meet the woman who is betrothed to me. Alya's sister in 2 days will be her 22nd birthday. I have to how about Rey?"

"You try to express your feelings to Kak Alya during his birthday and do not procrastinate until you finish the script of Kak Alya's thesis. Because you also don't know Alya's life in her house. Maybe he was also betrothed to his parents, let alone he would soon graduate."

"You should say it immediately. Hopefully he will accept you and for example he accepts you then immediately you to preach it. After that you will not be concerned if you meet the woman who is betrothed to you and you have the right to talk to both your parents that you already like the woman of your choice that you want to preach" Rey said again

"But the thing is that in a week my mom's taking me to her show. I'm not sure as fast as that Alya wants me to preach."

"Try you meet first Brother Alya on his birthday, don't worry Dion if the soul mate is not going anywhere."

"Alright Rey thanks for the advice. I'll tell you everything on Alya's birthday while I hand over the flash."

"Aamiin Rey's. Sorry to interrupt nights like this I called."

"It's okay Dion. Don't bother with me. We've been in office for almost 7 years."

"Yes, then I hang up, Rey. Wassalamualaikum."

"Yes Dion. Wa'alaikum Salam."

Then Dion hung up. Dion now feels relieved after the phone call with Rey. The solution was that Dion had to immediately tell her feelings. True that said try earlier Dion also does not know Alya's life at home, it could be Alya has also been betrothed to his parents. Dion could not afford to lose the woman he hoped to be his wife for the third time.

...*****...

It doesn't feel like Alya's birthday. Dion agreed to meet with Alya on the grounds that he wanted to give his flash containing the script he had typed. Though it could have been if sending by email but Dion wanted to meet with Alya directly as well as talk about his seriousness with Alya.

Alya was already waiting for Dion at the table that Dion ordered.

"Kok Dion hasn't come yet?"

When Alya will contact Dion by looking for his name contact on his phone. Dion was already sitting in front of Alya while looking down trying to open something he was carrying. Dion offered her the birthday cake she had brought.

"Happy birthday, Alya. Sorry little cake I rushed here and I remember today Brother Alya's birthday."

"Thank you Dion. Do you know I have a birthday today?" tanyanya.

"Because Kak Alya is a popular woman on campus. So Dion was also from Dion's friend."

"I wasn't popular on campus. They're the ones who talk too much about me."

Dion took the flash from his shirt pocket and handed it to Alya.

"Sir Alya this is the flash."

"Oh yes thank you Dion. I'll give it back when I copy the script."

"Yes Brother. Um... Brother Alya can I have a serious talk with Brother?"

"Seriously speaking of what Dion is? Are you exhausted during being Brother's assistant? If suppose yes, you can just get here just typing the script of the siscription. Sorry Brother has troubled you."

"No Brother. Dion didn't mind typing in Brother's script. Dion just wants to be honest with Dion's feelings, if Dion actually likes Alya since we first met. I want to marry Alya. Will Alya be my wife?" The words escaped from Dion's mouth.

"First time to meet? Means Dion's been liking me since I was his ospek companion? and did he say he wanted to marry me and make me his wife? I have to do this, on the one hand I'm happy that Dion is expressing his feelings to me. But on the other hand my mother betrothed me to her chosen man." Alya's inner being was still confused as to how to respond to Dion's words.

Dion was relieved to have said this with the woman who had been his idol all this time. Instantly the atmosphere became silent. Alya is stunned and still can't believe Dion expressed her feelings on her birthday.
