THE NO-MAN'S LOVE
30. SECRETLY LIKES
I really have to fight alone. Without a husband that should be a place to lean and complain. Without an unsolicited parent would have always been on alert for this potent daughter of his. Without the closest person I could make a place to share about everything. Perhaps with the departure of my husband who was angry, I had to learn to open up and accept a helping hand from others that I could make as a friend.

“How, Mother Egi? Can you give us an answer?”
Kaivan's smiling and well-mannered doctor treats each of his patients waiting for reassurance from Egidia, after previously greeting and conducting regular examinations assisted by a companion nurse.
From the look of her shady eyes, it was very noticeable that she wished for something as similar as her wish. He has handled many cases of patients like Egidia with a very small percentage of recovery, but did not give up and continue to do the effort with the team of doctors.
Similarly, to the patient who always comes alone, he does not want the woman to give up without making maximum efforts for her recovery. Whatever the outcome, only God has the right to make a decision.
Egidia nodded with a faint little smile in sight. She recalled the words of Genio, who freed herself to do anything and assumed that her husband had given her complete permission.
Armed with confidence in the last message, he finally established his heart to determine the best choice for himself, his health and his future.
Bismillah! I'm doing all this with your permission, Mom!
“I'm ready, Doctor!”
“Ready?” Doctor Kai needs a clearer answer than just the ready word.
“Yes, Doc! I'm ready to undergo treatment with you and the medical team at this hospital!” egidia replied steadily.
“I want to continue my efforts here, whatever the end result will be later!!”
“I fully trust Doctor Kai and the team that will handle me!”
Gently said Egidia not only makes the doctor gasp and more amazed, but also feel happy and grateful.
“Alhamdulillah! I'm glad to hear it! You have a high spirit to heal and I love optimistic patients!”
Egidia responded with a nod of her head and a thank you. One burden has slipped from the heart, with the decision taken this morning. He will continue to fight against the severe illness that the doctor has sentenced him to, even without the support of those closest to him who are expected.
Thank goodness you never give up and don't feel hopeless, Egi! I promise to do my best for you! Both as a doctor who handles you as my patient, as well as a man who expects healing from the woman who has made me fall in love!
No one knew until this moment, if the handsome doctor secretly liked his own patients. Unfortunately, she had to swallow the bitter pill at the same time, because in reality, the patient was already married.
She did not have no idea what was going on between Egidia and her husband. Since the first time he met the hijab-wearing woman alone, he had felt suspicious because the patient came alone and always looked moody when mentioned about the support of his partner.
He deliberately limited the schedule of the examination on that day to ensure the patient arrived home safely. However, because of trailing Egidia, he also knew what the woman saw on the basement floor of one of the apartments in the city.
The man should be grateful to get a nearly perfect salihah woman like Egidia! Instead of being affectionate, just play love with another woman behind his ailing wife!
When he remembered what he saw at that time, Doctor Kai's heart was still filled with anger and disbelief. However, he did not have any capacity to interfere in the household affairs of others. If Egidia knew it, it was certain that the woman would not like her attitude and deeds.
“What should I do or I prepare, Doctor?”
Egidia's soft voice resuscitated the doctor from his daydreams about the owner of the manhood. He nodded and continued the report that should be written on his special patient medical history file.
"Wait a minute!"
He asked the nurse to check the therapy schedule and everything related to the Egidia treatment process. The man in pure white had contacted a doctor who served in the cancer clinic at the hospital and explained about the condition of the patient. He wants the woman to get the best possible treatment and as soon as possible. Faster, better!
Furthermore, to get a schedule of meetings and examinations with the doctor who will handle it, Egidia is asked to wait for the completion of the referral letter made while redeeming new prescriptions in the pharmaceutical section.
“Thank you very much, Doctor!” egidia said as she stood up and was about to exit the examination room. Both of his hands were cupped in front of his chest, making Doctor Kai even more fascinated by the manners he had always maintained.
“Sama-sama, Mother Egi! Stay up, yes!”
The woman replied with a nod of her head and a sincere smile that again made the handsome man in the stethoscope flutter.
If you were still alone, I wouldn't waste time delaying. I'll propose and marry you. Too bad, my destiny is not as beautiful as the dream in my heart!

I'll start my treatment, Mas! I'm asking permission to use your living to finance all this. Don't worry, I'll fill the shortcomings with my own savings. God willing, it can still suffice!
While waiting for her recipe to be prepared, Egidia stared at her husband's face on the mobile screen. A photo taken when the two were reunited for the first time. Egidia retrieves it from the family album and is kept in a suitcase while packing up to follow her husband and live with him. But now, he was left alone in a city that was still unfamiliar to him.
The woman returned to her cell phone when she heard her name being called by officers at the pharmacy. Soon he stood up and walked over to pick up the medicines that were ready. Because it was only focusing in the direction it was going, it accidentally hit someone who was simultaneously coming from the opposite direction.
Almost falling down because his body was dazed backwards, Egidia felt his body being held back by the hand that was still supporting his back. Reflexes, both hands have been holding on to the two arms of the person who was hit as well as helping him.
As soon as he saw the face of someone who was still quite close to him, the woman hurriedly straightened and released both hands nervously.
“Ma-Sorry! Forgive me!”
