"Who is Geisha, son?" mami asked, while her hand was placing small candles as much as four pieces on the Gentala birthday cake today.
Genta let out a long breath. While forcing to accept that the girl who is being called her Mama, has gone far and will not be possible to have. "Friends, Mih."
"Hem." Mama seems to believe. "Come blow, kid!" Mami invites Gentala to blow out the wrong candles.
Gentala long silence staring at the cake that is currently in Mami's hold. Before blowing the candle, Genta turned to look at Papi and Geisha's paper bag that he placed on the chair.
Gee.
Genta blowing candles. The candle is dead. There's a happy exuberance from Mami. He kissed Gentala. "It's always healthy, yeah, son."
"Thank you, yeah, Mih." Genta turned around to kiss Mami.
Mami nodded. Put the cake on the table and start cutting it. Just wanted to put a piece of cake in Genta's mouth. The boy attacked. Because the device in his pants pocket is vibrating.
Papi incamming.
Genta looked at Mami. "Baby, Mih. Shorty, yeah."
Mommy tilts the corners of the lips. "Hem."
Hate in the heart of Mami to Papi as if still frothy, even though they have twenty-seven years divorced.
Papi turns the phone into a video call.
"Happy birthday, Genta. Papi's best prayer for you. Papi told God, yes, son."
Genta nodded happily, he smiled and saw Papi across the street sitting in his study. Just like Mama. Papi will always take the time to contact Genta, though Papi will not come. He did not want to meet Mommy. Because Papi knows, Mami must be with Genta. Tens of years Genta has always been in a difficult position.
"Huh! Bring God. So be the right Papi!" Mami snorted lazily as she heard her ex-husband's prayer.
As long as Papi is married to Mami, the man's faith is drowning. From the beginning, Papi grew into a man who was insensitive to prayer or faith in Allah.
But, after her second marriage to a woman who was eleven years younger than her. Papi's got a guide. Mama Luna, can bring Papi to migrate to become a better Muslim. Mama Luna is a friend of Mother Maura when she was in vocational tourism high school. Mama Luna and Bunda, both became famous chefs who owned several restaurants.
And while married to Papi Haritala. Mama Luna was never considered by Gentala. Same with Mami Else's current husband. It was as if Gentala hated strangers who snatched Mami and Papi from her life.
"You're healthy, aren't you, son?" papi's question across there, made Genta's heart shrink again. Can he complain if he is heartbroken? Even when he divorced his two wives. The clapper can only be silent. He did not explain what happened. He does not want to be considered a weak child, although he is a child who harbors deep wounds and grudges that can not be knocked because of the actions of his parents.
The clapper that sat while holding the phone in front of his face nodded. "Health, Pih. How papi? Healthy, right?"
Mami Else chose to step into the kitchen. He started cooking. Instead of him staying at the dinner table listening to Papi's conversation with Gentala.
"Thank God be healthy, son. Oh, yes, Papi bought me a murotal player. If you want to sleep on, yes. Let's sleep well."
Mami Else knitted her eyebrows. The woman was grieving. "Sok your religion now, Hari! Give a gift to the boy who weighs dong! Money, cake! Branded goods. That's what? Cheap ones!"
Genta. The man had to swallow a smile to Papi because he heard a grumbling from Mami in the kitchen that sounded loud.
On the video call connection. Papi can hear. But, the man did not bully her. "Sheesh, Son. Don't get---"
Tut's.
"More!" gentala. He was shocked because the device he was looking at, was pulled by Mami. The woman turned off Papi and Genta's phone.
"Later the call. Let's help Mommy cook!"
"Why the hell, Mih? Mami and Papi can not be a little to make peace? How long are you guys not getting along like this?" ask Genta with an emotional face. He just wants it once, Mami and Papi make peace. Genta wants to feel the affection of a whole family, Mami and Papi who respect each other, even in the context of divorce.
Mami Else stared intently at Genta. "Till she dies, Mami will never make peace with that son of a bitch!"
Gentala shook her head faintly, feeling fed up with her family's increasingly chaotic problems. Not to mention today, was a very hard day for him, losing Geisha Alyra Hadnan.
Gentala ruffled her hair and left Mami for the room with a paper bag containing gifts from Papi and Geisha.
"Genta!!" the woman of British-Russian descent continued to call out the name of her son who had stepped upstairs with tears welling up. Genta.
"Your bastard, Hari! I told you not to come to Genta's life anymore! I can take care of it myself!" Mami Else. He did not want Genta to be more familiar to Papi and Mama Luna.
In fact? Mami had never been there for Genta all this time. She is busy with her new family. Mami is wrong if the money she always gave to Genta, can make the child happy. Papi and Mami would be shocked if they knew Gentala had grown into a horrible man.
...๐พ๐พ๐พ...
Trying to forget is hard. The shadow of new memories as thin as skin is still difficult to forget in the hearts of both. Counting three weeks, they had separated, even without any ties.
And during that time, Geisha and Genta no longer meet. The surgical stase that the Geisha followed was finished. He is currently following an internal disease stage. The inner poly was on the second floor, so it was unlikely that they would be able to meet.
But, apparently. Circumstances support Geisha and Genta to meet today. The value report for the surgical stase is out, and the results are astounding.
Geisha being the best value koas, Genta gave it an A. With this value makes Geisha a little questionable by other koas friends.
Is that really the result? While all this time Geisha is always considered ordinary, why can immediately skyrocket up to A value it feels very strange. Even the genius only got a C+ score. If it has reached the campus, the Geisha will definitely be asked for a re-presentation, for example to other koas.
The geisha sat in front of Nurse Station. He waited for Gentala to finish examining the patient in surgery. He wants to ask Gentala to change the value he has given.
"Dok ...." Sister Lala held the shoulder of the Geisha who was sitting daydreaming. Trying to strengthen my heart to meet Genta again.
Geisha. "It's over, Mom?"
Sister Lala nodded as she placed the stack of patient medical records files on the table.
"Newly, Doc. Do you want to see Dogen?" ask Sister Lala with a pleased look.
Although in the heart of this woman, feel sad because they finally have to separate. Sister Lala widened her eyes when two days ago, she received a wedding invitation from Geisha and Andre. With the Genta. The guy's getting fucked up.
Just wanting to answer Sister Lala's question, Geisha hurriedly called out to Genta who was already out of the poly to pass. "Doc!" exciting Geisha.
The gentala whose body took care of up to six kilos, turned his head. At first he smiled looking at the Geisha who was stepping towards him, because his longing was healed. However, the smile faded when he remembered that the woman before him would be married in three days.
And the happiest in their grief was Avika. Didn't think that Andre would marry a geisha.
"Doctor's hurrying?"
Genta. "What's wrong?" The geisha gulped the saliva deeply, he was clumsy. Staring at Genta like this, why make his heart surge hunt again.
The clapper nodded and went back into the surgical poly. "Come on!"
...๐พ๐พ๐พ...
The man was sitting in his chair as usual. While the Geisha sat in the patient's chair opposite him who was in a partition with a dark glass table. No more drinking bottles filled with lemon water that always stand in the corner of the table, because Geisha does not make it anymore. It was a sad journey of their love.
"Why?" asked Genta in a indifferent tone. As much as possible, he turned his gaze away from the Geisha. Genta promised to forget, he had to let go of this woman. Even though it feels, it's still hard. Still difficult. Unable.
This room, which was originally a unifier of love. Had to run aground before they became lovers, for some reason now turned into the room most Geisha hate. What about Genta? He suffered more, because every day is here. Enjoy every memory.
"I'd like to ask the Doctor to reassess me. The value that the Doctor gave was too excessive. I'm a gossip, Doc." Geisha to the point.
Gentala. If he had cheated. It's not fair to the other koas. Just because of love, he replaced the wrong Geisha answer and he justified it with his version of the answer. Then A value can Geisha can be.
"That's your real value. No. I added 'kan." Genta.
"Original value of where, Doc. The doctor knows my abilities all along. There's a lot less." Geisha.
Forced to continue acting like everyone else while looking at Genta, even though his chest was shaking. He misses this guy, wants to hug him. Want to say, if he is worried about the marriage that will take place in a few days.
Genta's chest shrieked, as it no longer felt tenderness even though it was only from the tone of the Geisha's voice. This girl has gone far.
Sit together like this. With the same heart still linked, but forcing to stay away and behave like others, is very torturous.
And Genta couldn't stand it.
"I will not revise that value. You deserve it. So please go." Genta persisted and was forced to expel. He just did not want to be looked at weakly and Geisha growled.
Not that he was less grateful and should be grateful like other koas who had to flirt with the guidance doctor to get more grades, but he knew Genta deliberately did this to cover up his regret.
"Please change my grades. There's still time, Doc." Geisha.
Genta. He tapped the tip of the pen to the table.
"I refuse to revise. So what I've given you, enjoy it. Consider it a gift from me over your wedding in a moment." the tone at the end of the sentence was so slow, making the Geisha tribe vibrate. Want it to scatter, lunging at the man, to strengthen. But, there's no way he could do it. Genta back into the pit of pain, even though he has been trying hard since yesterday. But, the presence of the Geisha at this time made his heart re-tear.
"Please Doctor do not mix personal matters with confidence in guiding me!" Geisha are strong. If he is weak. Then, even Genta would be weak. He knew the man's bead in front of him was already flushed to hold back tears. Pun, same with him.
Genta flips a chair, turns his back on a geisha.
"Go, Sha! You won't be able to force me. Enjoy the value I have given you. Make reference, so you want to be more active. Be a great doctor. Only prayer was all I could give." the tone of Genta sounded soft. A glance from behind looks he is wiping his tears.
"Dok ...."
"Go!" Genta exclaimed again.
Geisha tears are shed. He turned his body to pass.
But.
Blasses.
"Shaaaaaa!"
The geisha is in position. He felt a hug from behind so tightly. The man who kicked him out just now. Crying behind his back.
"I'm not strong, Sha!" Genta.
"I miss you." The geisha finally started crying staring at the wall.
"I love you" and Geisha knows that feeling.
"I have to how, Sha. To force you back? Although it was impossible." they both sobbed in tears. The geisha let herself in the embrace even though this should not be done.
"I know. I was wrong because I dared to hug my friend's future wife like this. But, I-i--"
"Help, Doc. Let the Doctor be relieved. Even, same with me." finally the Geisha said honestly. It follows the heart.
In his mind, he said an apology to Andre, the future husband who at this time he had not given room to embrace him like this. And Geisha's speech made Genta flabbergasted. He turned the girl's body back to look at her. And again shocked when he saw the wetness on the face of the Geisha.
"You cry? Does that mean you still love me, Sha?"
Geisha. Clear water still slumps on the cheeks towards the neck that is scattered with the hijab cloth.
"Sha's? Answer!" Genta raised Geisha's chin to look at her eyes. "You still love me?"
The geisha finally nodded slowly. "Yes, Doc. I still love you, Doctor."
Genta smiled in tears. All this time he was sure that this girl still loved him. So relieved was Gentala's chest, as if she had hope.
"Well, I am, Sha. Leave Andre." for his love. Genta is selfish. He no longer thought of Andre, who was in his head and heart, if the Geisha would choose him. Genta will install the body, he will face all the wrath that Andre will give him later.
And.
Geisha refuse. The girl shook her head, again shredding Gentala's soul.
"Even to this day I still love, Doctor. But to leave Mas Andre so that we can be together, I don't think I can, Doc. I don't have a heart with him. Mas Andre is a good man, a gentleman and a figure who is very blessed by my Father and Mother. So ...." The geisha lowered the hand of Gentala who was currently holding both of her arms.
"Forget me, Doc. Like I'll try my hardest to forget, Doctor. Be happy with your ex-wife, Doctor. Miss Avika."
Without Gentala knowing. Avika came to Geisha to congratulate her on her marriage. As a thank you for leaving Gentala's life.
Avika recounts that she is the second ex-wife after Kahla. The new thing Geisha knew, and added pain in the chest. Although Avika did not explain the shortcomings that Genta suffered so far.
"Blessed, Doc," Geisha said back to strengthen Genta. No matter his heart is broken. What he clearly knows is that he and Genta will not be able to get together to start a love story like they used to.
"Forget it if we've known each other in a relationship that is close enough, ever filling and loving each other. Let's just say a few months ago, it never happened. There is never a story we have told. I'm sure the doctor can be as happy as me and Mas Andre. Hopefully the doctor can come to our wedding."
It feels like Gentala wants to go. Holding the body to unite with the ground. The sun will no longer be able to enjoy. Replacing with dark clouds and a heart that drifts. Whatever it takes to try to be strong, it's still his heart broke and broken.
