"I'm sorry, I'll change the infusion first."
The silence of the atmosphere created increasingly makes each other hesitant to start a conversation. Until finally Indah who first opened her voice and continued her duties.
Bayu immediately retreated and gave Indah space to do her job. Thank you said from Beautiful lips with a thin smile that hesitated she showed as Bayu looked at her.
Indah felt a little nervous as Bayu continued to watch her closely as long as she replaced the infusion liquid that was now hanging safely on her pole and flowed through the hose to the back of Alila's left hand.
If Bayu shows his good attitude to Indah, in contrast to Dimas who remained cold from the beginning. He only focused his attention on Alila who actually occasionally noticed Bayu and Indah on his left side.
And every time Alila did, Dimas immediately turned his face away with his hands to look back at her. So much love for Alila that Dimas would not care if Alila noticed others who were not important to him.
"Al, look at me..."
Alila looked back at Dimas with a small smile. He felt a sense of compassion for Bayu and Indah because Dimas' clear attitude showed his indifference to the existence of two people from his past.
Beautiful who have completed their tasks, pretending to still check the flow of infusion fluids dripping one by one in a clear tube connecting between the infusion bag and the infusion hose.
Beautiful secretly steals a glance towards Dimas who looks very close and so attentive to the patient named Alila. He read the name in the patient's health report file on the desk in the nurse's ward.
Dimas's eyes were so shady and full of love for Alila. Beautiful wondered in her heart, what kind of relationship was there between the two of them?
Bayu who still continues to pay attention to Indah, knowing that the woman is also watching Dimas and Alila. Not wanting to make the atmosphere even more awkward among the four of them, Bayu approached Indah and told about the woman accompanied by Dimas.
"Beautiful, he's Alila's future wife Dimas."
Bayu's words were quite surprisingly Beautiful, but he tried to hide the look of his surprise. But in his heart he still does not believe, Dimas who he used to know as a cold and stiff man, now has a future wife who is very loved. This is very clear from all the special treatment Dimas in women who sit lying down as patients.
Alila who heard her name called by Bayu, turned her gaze to the left side, looking towards Indah who was still pretending to be busy with her duties.
When she saw Alila looking at her, Indah also replied to her and smiled at Alila who also had her sweet smile on Indah.
(She is beautiful and so gentle. Dimas deserved to fall for her and love her so much.).
At first glance Beautiful turned to look at Dimas who was still loyal to sit on the edge of the bed and hold Alila's hand without taking a second.
(He hasn't changed one bit. Still cool, stiff and flat. How I used to love a man like him so much, until I ignored the first love I felt for Bayu.).
Meanwhile, Bayu also saw the togetherness of Alila and Dimas with a small smile on his face. There was no sadness or pain in her heart even though she claimed to love Alila.
I don't know, maybe because her feelings were so sincere that only Alila's smile and happiness was all she wanted to see on her face. After all, Alila would soon be Dimas' wife, much less what she could hope for...
Then Bayu again turned his attention to the woman who owned his first love. Beautiful, woman with a beautiful face as her name. Suddenly it felt a smooth sigh that flowed through his chest cavity so gently.
(Ah, why do I feel it back..?!)
Beautiful who did not realize Bayu's eyes to him, finished his duties in Alila's room and was about to return to his room.
"My task is done. If any help is needed, you can press the call button on top of the patient's bed. May it heal soon."
Dimas was silent while Alila nodded and smiled at Indah.
"Thank you."
Indah had brought an empty infusion bag and some small medical equipment with both hands. He started to step away from the side of the bed and stopped right beside Bayu.
"Woody, I'll stay. It's good to see you again."
Bayu stared Beautifully with a serious face and a meaningful look.
"Beautiful, can we talk for a while out there?"
It was unexpected by Indah if Bayu would ask for his time to talk together.
(Why does my heart beat this fast.?)
"alright. You can meet me in the nurse's ward. It's at the end of the corridor, three rooms out of this room."
Indah rushed out of Alila's room, because she was getting nervous and her heart was still beating improperly since Bayu said he wanted to see her again.
Bayu stared at the departure of Indah until the woman's body disappeared behind the door. Just like Beautiful, she was also trying to normalize her increasingly hunting heartbeat when she heard Beautiful's reply.
"It looks like I have to leave now so you can get some rest, Al. Again, I apologize for everything. May you recover and be healthy again."
Bayu said goodbye to Alila first. After Alila responded with a nod of her head, she turned to Dimas and extended her hand towards the man.
"I'm saying goodbye, Dim. Take care of Alila with your heart. I'm waiting for your wedding invitations."
Alila squeezed Dimas' hand, gave him a sign to accept Bayu's hand. Dimas set his breath and welcomed Bayu's hand.
"Thank you."
After releasing each other's hands, Bayu walked towards the exit and left a pair of prospective husbands who were still sitting face to face and carved a smile on their lips.
"Sleep, Al. Since this morning you haven't rested again."
"You too, Dim. Go to bed on the couch. Last night you didn't sleep well, because you kept me by my side until morning.."
Dimas walked to the left side of the bed and pressed the setting button to lower the top of the bed so that Alila could lie straight and sleep soundly.
"Rest, My Sleeping Daughter. I love you."
"I love you too, Dim."
Waiting until Alila closed her eyes and began to fall asleep, she then moved from Alila's side and stepped slowly towards the long sofa she could use to lie down and release her fatigue for a moment.
Meanwhile in the front corridor of Alila's room, Bayu walked towards the nurse's guard room to meet Indah. Once there he asked the whereabouts of Indah to another nurse sitting behind the service desk.
The nurse entered the room behind her, and soon returned with Beautiful who followed her.
Lovely spoke for a while to her co-worker, then exited through a small door beside her room. He invites Bayu to sit on a long bench at the end of the corridor which happens to be still empty. They sat with faces facing each other.
"How you been doing all this time, In?"
"My news is good, Yu."
They both went back to silence. It still looks equally awkward after so many years of not meeting and not exchanging any news at all.
"I didn't think we'd see each other again today."
Bayu re-opened his voice and ventured to look at the two eyes of Indah.nya back beating hard as before.
"I am too."
Indah answered briefly while feeling her heartbeat getting firmer uncontrollably.
"You still live in your old house, In?" Ask Bayu.
"Still." Answer Beautifully.
Bayu recalled, when he used to school he often offered to deliver Indah home to his flagship motorcycle, and Indah never refused.
"Well, can I take you home tonight?"
The question was thrown out of Bayu's mouth after he recalled his past with Indah.
For a moment Bayu regretted his question which seemed rushed. But a moment later she felt relieved that Indah showed no reaction of rejection.
"Will no one get angry if I accept this offer, Yu?"
Spontaneous Bayu shook his head and chuckled.
"Huhahh... Who's gonna be mad at this lonely singles, In..."
"I'm just making sure first, Yu. Rather than later it turns out I was run over by a woman claiming to be your lover or maybe your wife..."
They laughed together, forgetting the nervousness they had felt before.
"What if instead, I am the one who will be paraded and hanged for taking away people's lovers or wives..??" Ask Bayu again.
"We're the same, Yu. Same single..." Beautifully replied with her sweet smile that was still the same as before.
This time Bayu breathed with relief after knowing the status of Indah was the same as himself. Both are still alone and not owned by anyone.
It seems, this is a good start to start a new, better relationship between the two of them.
