The Perfect Happiness

S2 - Eps 90's

Still Haikal POV's.

I returned to my study after I finished delivering lunch to Clara's father. He told me a lot about his daughter. The only child who became his pride from childhood until now.

The girl who is also spoiled and never seen to bring her partner home, especially to introduce a man with his father and his mother. So when I appeared, he was worried, afraid that his child was just being played.

But fortunately, I dared to appear when inviting Clara to dinner and at that time I also dared to speak directly to him. Ask permission to take her child to dinner.

I must admit, long before dinner happened, my heart already had a little attraction to him. Not because at the beginning of the meeting I had time to see one part of his body, but it was because. I am also still confused by the reason for my interest.

True what Tika said the other day, when we told each other. Maybe I'm actually aware it's just that I don't want to notice it in front of Clara. Yes, I fell in love with her and I want to have her.

This time I do not want to just live a relationship that is not clear direction and purpose, especially if only for the status of 'dating'. Too childish.

Besides, I think I can afford to be with my age enough to build a household. I just need a desperate capital for that.

Should I express my feelings later this afternoon?

What if he refuses?

What if he doesn't feel the same way I do?

Holy hooch! Where's my brave soul running? The time to express my feelings should be this. I ruffled my hair in a rage.

Shortly after, someone knocked on my door, apparently Adam. I let him in and sat down. Then he showed me a progress report from Clara's medical examination this morning.

From what I see, everything seems to be improving and it can be said that this is good news for Clara and her father. And again, Adam also said that he and the doctor who handled the mother Clara had agreed, if he could go home tomorrow.

I was glad to hear that news, for a moment.

Adam left my room, went to Clara's parents' room to tell her the results. And at that moment, my heart was sad.

Pleased to be mixed with sadness. Because on the one hand, I am happy because the mother is healthy again and can move as usual again. But on the other hand, I'm sad, because I'm going to lack any reason to meet Clara or meet her parents.

Should I always visit her house?

I'm getting dizzy thinking about this. It seems that it was true that my original intention was, I indeed had to express my feelings to her as soon as possible, before it was too late.

Before my brain gets weird thinking like that again.

Time has shown at three o'clock in the afternoon, when I glanced at my watch. I immediately finished some of my work. A few sheets of paper scattered on the table.

My heart was suddenly racing, I tried to make it more relaxed by whistling. The song is Maroon 5 titled Sugar.

Then I prepared. Replace my clothes with more casual ones, such as t-shirts and long jeans. Fortunately, there are some clothes stored in this office closet.

Once again I checked my appearance in front of the mirror. It's perfect in my opinion.

Then I immediately met his parents. Maybe it would be easier if I asked them for permission first, before I told Clara my feelings.

They were seen talking when I came to see them. An aura of happiness emanated from their faces, when the husband asked, is it true that his wife can go home tomorrow afternoon?

"Yes, of course you can, Om. My colleague told me, didn't he? Aunty's health has started to improve, even very quickly. But aunt still required to check-up at least once a month huh?" I tried to explain to them about the check-up schedule.

Not only that, I also have to remind patients once again about some diet for patients suffering from asthma. Which ones to avoid and which ones to do.

I also suggested to Clara's father, to quickly buy a portable oxygen cylinder just in case. Because the inhaler alone is not enough to cope with asthma attacks that have occurred to his wife.

When I expressed my heart to them, I saw the expression of both. The wife immediately grabbed her husband's arm and then gripped tightly. Then the husband was just flabbergasted looking at me while gnashing his forehead.

I had thought they would be happy once I heard this sincere intention. But it turns out I was wrong, their surprised expression seemed to have been an answer to me. Such a painful answer.

"Are you serious?!" Clara's father asked me once more with great emphasis. His eyes were still round, wide as if he did not believe my words.

"I'm serious Om, Auntie. I fell in love with Clara. And I don't mess around about feelings" I replied out loud, full of conviction.

It took me a long time to wait for certainty from them, while the clock had shown four hours less than ten minutes.

Yeah right, I do keep glancing at my watch. Because after getting the blessing of these parents, I want to take their children somewhere. A place where I can express my feelings to her.

Minutes ...

Two minutes ...

I think their gazes are very intimidating to me right now. Makes my heart beat again, irregularly. I was nervous waiting for an answer from them.

A cold sweat on my back. Maybe on my forehead there was sweat too. Though I can feel if the AC temperature in this room is cold enough, even too cold for me.

Maybe I was wrong.

Father's beating. The mother breathed. Then they looked at each other for a moment. "Of course, our daughter's grown. Let him decide his own life path. Anyway, this kid's been helping me."

I, who heard the final sentence spoken by her mother, felt unfair. As if they would accept me out of compulsion. Restui me with her beautiful daughter just because she wants to return the services.

That way is too low in my opinion. I'm not honorable and I'm not that kind of guy.

"I'm like this because I sincerely fell for Clara. Not wanting to take advantage of the situation. Not to look for opportunities. Even om and aunty know, before this incident, I have also invited Clara dinner. That means I've been saving my heart for your daughter for a long time. But if om and aunt half heartedly accept me, it would be better if I were the one to back off. Rather than later I was considered a man of false hope."

My emotions were running high, but I was still able to cope, given my initial intention to ask permission from the owner of the beautiful woman who always disturbed my mind.

But again the eyes of Clara's father made me more and more misbehavior. There was a bit of fear when I tried to look back at him, but there was also a bit of annoyance with that look. As for Mother Clara, one of her hands again touched the shoulder of the husband.

I'm trying to catch my breath now. Trying to get back to normalizing my heartbeat. However, suddenly these two Clara parents even laughed out loud. Even their laughter echoed, filling every corner of this room.

While me?

I was suddenly confused to see them.

Looking at their fleeting manner of turning one hundred and eighty degrees.

How can I understand their behavior if they keep laughing. If it stops, then I ask what's going on, they laugh again.

Until finally, they try to calm themselves, respectively. Then he said, if in fact from the beginning they already knew my giragat who wanted to approach their child.

They even saw the same attitude that their beautiful daughter showed towards me. Until one time they heard a delirious Clara mention my name.

From then on they were convinced that their child was no longer a girl, but a grown woman.

They told me all that and they gave me permission so that I could carry out this goodwill.

Happy, that's how I feel right now. Until I don't know what else to say to them. Only a thank-you hug can I give them in turn.

I've never felt this kind of feeling. But there is still one more step to feel the perfection of life. It's just that the happiness in my heart right now seems to be able to cover up my nervousness to meet Clara.
