When Love Comes Again

Doubt of a Heart

"Alhamdulillah .... "

Early in the morning Adellia was already screaming in excitement. He seemed to want to fly so happy to see the screen of his cellphone.

"What's wrong?"

Juan and Dicky asked who had appeared in front of him.

"Eh..?!"

"Kok ehh?!"

"Hehehe..."

"But, even laugh. What the hell is it, Dek. Seneng is right like her"

Adellia was sitting on the couch next to Juan. Then Dicky followed the next seat. They both waited for an answer from Adellia.

"I'm luluuuus", he shouted as he held his postel aloft.

"Graduate what?", the more curious.

" Pass SNMPTN"

"Alhamdulillah... ", Juan and Dicky together.

"Thank you where, Deck"

"UI?"

"Indonesian University?!"

Adel nodded his head.

"What faculty?"

"Faculty of Medicine"

Dicky and Juan were surprised to hear this. A sense of pride enveloped their hearts, especially Juan. Girls are the only ones who can penetrate UI especially on FK-UI. It's amazing he thought. He gave congratulations, hugs and warm kisses to his beloved daughter.

That morning, while being escorted by Dicky, Adellia heads to campus to do a re-list. Dicky had intended to take his sister with him, but Adellia refused. She didn't want to look like a spoiled child to her brother.

It has become Adel's determination to be able to study the university no one in Indonesia, because his two brothers are also alumni of the same campus. Dicky continued his megister degree in Australia. Even Yudha continued her megister degree in England and her doctor in Germany with a full scholarship from the government. A proud preatation, and Adellia determined not to lose to her two brothers.

Juan accidentally left his office at lunch. He had already made a promise with someone at Charika's cafe.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Yulia"

"It's okay, Brother. I just arrived too"

Juan pulled out a chair for Yulia.

"Sir Juan, what message do you want? I ordered"

"As far as you are"

Julie called a servant. Not long after their order came. Juan and Yulia enjoyed lunch with them this time. It was their first time having lunch together in years, it felt like it might be a first date.

"Jelica ...."

"Hmmm..."

"Adellia lives with me huh"

"It's up to him, brother. Adellia has the right to decide her own life. He has a choice. And he's old enough to choose wisely"

"Then ..."

"Then ... What?!"

"Then what about you, Yulia. Don't you want to come back with me? With our kids?"

Yulia put down her spoon. He was silent for a moment.

"Give me time to think. This is not a momentary decision, brother. It's not an easy choice for us. At least for me"

"Yes, you're right. It's hard for you to take back the man who dumped you all these years. I can understand that"

"That's not what I mean, brother. I need to reorganize my heart. Reorganize my mind so I don't take the wrong path. Children are adults and definitely understand whatever decisions we make later"

"Well, I understand how you feel. I'll be patient waiting for your answer"

"Sir ..."

"Hmmm.."

"Thank you for accepting Adellia"

"There's no way I'm not accepting her, she's my real daughter"

"Adel's dream is to meet his biological Papa. I never told her about you until she found out about herself"

"Yes, that is God's way of uniting us"

"Yes, Brother..."

The conversation of the two people continued until the last menu came. Two people still love each other, but there is doubt between them.
