UNABLE TO FORGET YOU

GATHERINGS

Six Years Later

Zeehan stood leaning against his desk, staring out the window of the study. He never imagined he would be at the peak of his current glory, standing tall as a President Director of the renowned Hospital in the capital, Darya Medika.

Should he be proud now?

His mind rages on, having heard of Lenka's departure to Australia with a man named Jovan. The handsome man took a deep breath. Slowly he sat back in his seat of greatness.

"Whether you go with that man, Lenka, you're really wild, I didn't expect, you'd be a woman j***Ng like that" Zeehan said.

"I had to get you out of this hospital, Lenka!" muttered Zeehan hatefully.

Zeehan stared back at the letter of dismissal he had addressed to Lenka.

His heart was sure to sign the letter. His heart was already covered with jealousy and did not want to see the woman in the same place as him.

"Sir Hendra, come to my office for a moment!" zeehan's word through the intercom.

Before long Mr. Hendra came and entered Zeehan's room.

"What's up, sir?" Hendra looked at his new boss with anxious feelings. Zeehan gave Hendra an envelope, "Give this letter to Valencia's doctor!" zeehan said coldly.

"If you may know, what letter is it, sir?" Hendra's curious.

"Warnings to Valencia doctors,"

"But Valen's doctor is still in Australia, sir" Hendra was puzzled.

"Just give me the letter, after he returns to this hospital," Zeehan looked at Hendra sharply.

"Okay sir," Hendra walked out of the President's room with an erratic feeling.

"Stella, Valen where are you? I haven't seen that kid in 2 days!" Della.

"Valen took a week off, he went to Australia with his cousin" Stella said.

"Oh, pantesan I didn't see him from yesterday, by the way I feel sorry to see Valen failed marriage," said Della.

"Yes, that's why he went to Australia for a vacation and calmed down" Stella said.

Lenka left for Australia, where she had a week of marriage leave, to visit her son in Australia.

Lenka spends time with Zio and Jovan to take a walk to the tourist attractions in Australia.

"Zio, if in Jakarta, we will be able to visit Taman Mini, Zio joined the mama yes, to Jakarta," Lenka said again.

"Later Mama, Zio will go to Jakarta after Zio school," he said.

"Yes, Zio promised Mama" said Lenka smiling.

"Yes,"

"Mama will return to Jakarta tomorrow" said Lenka stroking her son's head gently.

*****

When Lenka returned from Australia, she was shocked by the release of a warning letter from the hospital.

"What the fuck is this, Mr Hendra? Why was I given this warning letter," Lenka said angrily.

"I'm just following Doctor Valen's orders,"

"Whose government? Mr Daniel? I've given him permission to take a week off,"

"And you're one day late" said Mr. Hendra.

"I have also confirmed with Mr. Daniel, the plane I was on delayed for 2 hours, that's why I arrived late in Jakarta" Lenka replied.

"Sorry, doctor Valen, you should talk to the new president yourself" said Mr. Hendra finally.

"The new President Director?? Who's who??Denis??" Lenka stared at Mr. Hendra's horror.

"No, Mr. Daniel's other son!" answer Hendra swallowed his Saliva roughly. He felt bad, because Valencia was the best doctor in the hospital. But he could not argue with his boss.

"Okay, I'll talk to him." Lenka breathed heavily. His heart was furious, what was the matter, until the new President fired him, or was it because of the events of that night? Lenka did not think. Inevitably Lenka had to meet the hospital leader, it's up to the man to see what he looks like.

With a hasty step, Valen walked towards the President's office, on the 5th floor Without knocking on the door, Valen entered with an annoyed face.

A man stood his back to the door, facing out the window of his office. Both of his hands were in a bag of pants, occasionally the man took his breath slowly

"Sir, why did you give me a unilateral dismissal letter, what is my fault" Valen shouted in a hoarse voice, holding back from crying.

The man slowly twisted his body. Valen was glued to where he stood. His eyes were perfectly round, not believing his vision. The beautiful eyes that he had once longed for, looked at him sharply. Both of his hands are still in his pants. The corner of his lips lifted slightly upwards, a cynical smile.

"Zeehan…!" Call Valen lirih. The paper with his letter of dismissal just fell on the floor.

"What's up, doctor Valen? Why did you enter my room without excuse? Are you used to this?" Zeehan looked at Lenka as if he was about to pounce.

Lenka gulped her saliva roughly, the man seemed to want to go to war with her.

"Why am I fired? What's my fault?" Lenka took back the paper that fell on the floor, squeezed it and threw it in Zeehan's face. The man did not dodge.

"Because you're undisciplined" said Zeehan haughtily, as he sat leaning against his seat of greatness. With the right leg raised to the top of his left thigh.

"I've asked Daniel for permission" Lenka defended herself.

"You….!" Valen choked, upon hearing Zeehan mention the name, and Zeehan had the same last name as Daniel.

"Why? Shocked?" Zeehan cynical. "I am no longer Zeehan the poor fisherman VALENCIA KAYNARA."

Valen looked at Zeehan no less sharply, his eyes glazed over.

"So, you fired me just because of the past, ZEEHAN ARYADINATA. Just so you know, I left because your mother didn't like me, she introduced Sherly as your future wife, and then who am I?" Shouted Lenka with a trembling voice.

"You left me, because you're afraid I can't make you happy, right? You're afraid of living in poverty with me," said Zeehan holding Lenka's pointed chin hard, Lenka brushed Zeehan's hand away.

"And you married Sherly, a woman older than you, for what? For the money, right?" reply Lenka.

"I need Sherly, to take care of my mom. His parents paid for my college in Jakarta" said Zeehan.

"Oh yeah!" Lenka smiled mockingly.

"I'm married by agreement, I'm going to recognize her son as my son, and marry him, and in return, they're financing my college until it's over" Zeehan said.

"Huh, it's so funny you're Zeehan" Lenka laughed sweetly

"Look Lenka, Valen, or whatever your name is, I just don't want a cheap woman like you in my hospital" Zeehan said.

Valen was inflamed, as the man he knew called him cheap, a slap floated across Zeehan's face."How dare you call me cheap, Zeehan,"

Zeehan rubbed his hot cheek.

"What's the name if it's not cheap, after failing to marry Denis, you sleep with doctor Han, after that, you go to Australia with another man, who's your other boyfriend, who's your other boyfriend, I didn't think you were that easy, Lenka. I was wondering, who is the father of the child you gave birth to?" The words of Zeehan who was as sharp as a dagger, sliced through his heart. Bemoan.

Lenka set her breath that felt tight. How could Zeehan know if he slept with Dr. Han, if the man was following him. Didn't the man realize that he was the one who planted the seed in his womb?

"Yes, I'm cheap, I sleep with a lot of rich men, so how different are you from me, Zeehan. You sold yourself to Sherly's family, just so you could achieve your ambitions, you slept with her too, didn't you? Then what's the difference between you and me?" Lenka hit Zeehan's chest with both hands. The man held both his hands tightly.

"How much are you paying?"

"Well, you won't be able to pay me, Zeehan, even if you sell this hospital. I hate you, Zeehan, I'm sorry I ever knew you."

Lenka took a breath. Zeehan was stunned to hear Lenka's words.

"Alright, I'll go, release me ZEEHAN ARYADINATA!" Lenka pulls her body from Zeehan's arms. Lenka walked out of the room immediately and slammed the door violently.

Zeehan exhaled slowly. Her little heart could not bear to see the woman she loved crying. But anger and jealousy had taken hold of his heart.

Yes, Zeehan was jealous of Lenka's affection for Jovan a few days ago. When Jovan came to visit Lenka at the hospital.

Lenka collects all her personal belongings on her desk. His face seemed to hold back anger.

"Lho Val, Lo why? how the stuff is in order," Stella scolds in wonder.

"Gue got fired," Lenka snorted violently.

"Couldn't you? That's right, the best doctor in this hospital, Mr. President's favorite again," Stella said in disbelief.

"Lo just ask, same as the new President! Songong is very old man, my mistake was only a day late to work, I was immediately fired, crazy not a person," Lenka replied upset.

"Or maybe she likes Lo" stella teased

"Just because he hates me, he fires me, Stella, I go first, I want to find another hospital" Lenka said.

"You know each other?" stella asked curiously.

"No," Lenka replied lying.

"Lo appealed to Mr. Daniel, maybe Mr. Daniel can help" Stella said.

"No, I don't want to beg anyone, bye Stella, I go first yeah," Lenka came out of her study. Walk in haste, down the hospital corridor, to where his car is parked.

At moderate speed, Lenka drove her car to her apartment.

Arriving at the Apartment, Lenka laid her body on the bed, her body felt tired. His thoughts were chaotic, his encounter with Zeehan actually added to the pain in his heart.

"I hate you, Zeehan!" Shouted Lenka.

"I'm sorry I knew you, I shouldn't have fallen in love with you,"

Lenka sobbing.

Initially, Lenka felt her heart happy when she saw Zeehan succeed in achieving his goal of becoming a doctor, she wanted to hug the man and congratulate him.

But Zeehan's arrogant attitude makes Lenka feel ilfil. His longing turned into deep disappointment and hatred.

*******

Zeehan laid his tired body on his big size bed.

His mind was piqued by Lenka's words this afternoon. Yes, he was also the same as the man who sold himself for money. For the sake of his goal of becoming a doctor.

Zeehan picks up his phone on the nightstand, turns it on and reopens a portrait of himself and Lenka on the small island he claims belongs to.

"I'm sorry Lenka, I didn't mean to hurt you, I love you more than anything" whispered Zeehan after watching a video of the two of them on top of a tree house, which he secretly filmed. Zeehan smiled bitterly. He had wasted Lenka's sincere love for her. The girl who used to love him so deeply.

His memory returned to a bottle he had buried near the treehouse, filled with words of hope for their future love. "What is the content of the paper that Lenka wrote," inner Zeehan.

Can the two of them return to that place someday, or he remains the secret of the white sand on Wane beach.

Seriate.
