The love story of doctor layla

Brake

Adi leaves angrily slamming the bedroom door. I couldn't help but take a deep breath hearing it.

It's midnight but my husband isn't home yet. Adi always leaves when we fight.

It's enough I don't want to be hurt anymore. If I'm on honey maybe I'll be hurt again to see my husband with another woman. If I'm released, maybe I'll also be hurt because I'm separated from the people I love for these 7 years.

But I can't be selfish either. I have to get away from adi. So that Adi can start a new life with a woman who can give him children and start a new happiness.

Maybe at least if Adi is happy with his new family, I too can start my new life peacefully.

I wiped my tears and approached Adi who was sitting leaning on the sofa in the living room looking up at the ceiling of the living room.

"mas adi" I approached him who seemed like adi was thinking hard. Adi turned to me with a smile. A forced smile.

"Mom's home" I asked her

"already" he replied

"Well, take a shower first, I'll talk later," I said to him

"Yes" Adi replied as he walked up to where our room was

I prepared Adi's clothes on the bed after 10 minutes Adi came out of the bathroom. He looked fresher, slightly damp hair and a towel wrapped around his waist. Adi immediately put on the clothes I had prepared.

"Have you eaten?" I asked him

"not yet" he replied

"Yes, I have eaten first" Adi nodded and we went downstairs to have dinner together. The food I prepared before my mother-in-law came. We ate quietly, occasionally accompanied by small talk.

After finishing eating I cleared the dining table and washed the dishes I and Adi ate.

Adi is still waiting for me at the dining table chair looking at me with pity. Maybe Adi doesn't want me to get hurt and he can't refuse mother's request either.

After we finished, we went back to our room and sat on the sofa while watching tv, thinking somewhere because we just sat in silence.

"Mas" I opened my voice first to warm the silence that was getting uncomfortable.

"hm" he mumbled as he looked at me with a smile that looks stiff.

"Shouldn't we just separate, mas. Poor mother, I want grandchildren from you" I said to him looking Adi justifying his seat facing me.

"But Mas loves you. Mas, I don't want another woman, we can try, we can see a doctor again," he said with reddened eyes. Oh my gosh, my husband is so whiny when it's time to say goodbye.

"Mas, don't be selfish, poor mother, I want mother to be happy. She has given birth to you, raised you, educated you, to this extent when you don't want to obey one mother's request" I said looking into her eyes. Netra we meet. Adi's eyes that were already red and dewy finally dripped as well. I really want to cry seeing her cry like that. makes my chest tight, but I try to hold back my tears so they don't fall, so that I look strong in Adi's eyes.

"But I love you I will not be happy if you are not my wife, I do not want to part with you La" he said as he gripped my hand tightly.

"I also don't want to part with you Adi. I love you too. But if I stay with you I will be more hurt to see in your life there is another woman. I also don't want you to prioritize me over your mother. After your god, your parents, then I am your third priority, so if your mother wants something from you, then what can I do as your wife. You are not me, who prioritizes you, after God is in my heart

"Why not try, if we are matched maybe someday we will be reunited, but if we are not matched maybe until now our soul mate. Don't ever think about having two wives because I don't want to be on a honeymoon. Tomorrow I will return to Bandung to my father's house and we will meet in court," I said. Adi was about to talk but I was raised my one hand and went to bed.

I lay my body on the bed and covered myself crying silently.

...

Survive hurt

Separate tightness in the chest

Is this what it feels like to fall in love

I don't know what time I sleep waiting for my husband to come home. But didn't come home either. Until the dawn call to prayer sounded. I woke up from my sleep. I looked at the side of the bed hoping my husband was there. Wish I could see his handsome face one last time. But, that's just hope. Adi is not home yet. I got up from my bed and rushed to the bathroom to clean myself and pray the dawn prayer afterwards.

After finishing the morning prayer, I rushed to pack my things into the suitcase. I'm leaving right now. I don't want to be in this problem any longer. Not wanting to get out of trouble. nor do I want to part with adi. I really love adi, and want to solve this problem together. But, if the problem is walking in a place like this, my already thin body will get thinner. And what's the point of holding on if the situation requires me to be released from Adi's fingers. A strand of prayer I pinned in my heart. I hope this separation can make Adi's family happy and Adi will have children soon with a new wife and I can start my new life in peace.

Adi and I live in Jakarta, we met on the birthday of my best friend Nita. I came to his house to fulfill his invitation. I was introduced to Adi by Nita who turned out to be Nita's brother. I was fascinated to see him tall, handsome, I immediately lowered my gaze astagfirullah Aladzim I just lost my enchantment at the man who opened my marriage.

After the introduction of that time Adi aggressively approached me. Adi comes to campus. He said he wanted to pick up his sister Nita but I always went because Nita was forced to, and Adi also invited me. Because he said the same. I'll go with you. 'cost-effective too' I thought. Because I live in a boarding house and I have to be good at managing my pocket money, because I live in a foreigner. Until adi knows my cellphone number from someone? maybe from Nita I thought.

Adi always asks how he is. Ask if you have eaten or not. Or whatever it's not important in my opinion. I'm annoyed at myself for doing it. Until the time of the exam Adi never texted me again. When Adi always messaged me I was always annoyed. But when Adi doesn't send any more messages, there's a strange feeling that surrounds my heart, I don't know, I feel restless, there's no news or Adi's nagging question in my pencil message.

Until graduation Adi came with his family. Adi came to attend our graduation ceremony, to be more precise, his sister Nita.

Mom and dad also came from Bandung to attend my graduation ceremony. Adi came to meet my parents and congratulated me for getting the best grades in this year's graduate with a medical degree. With my father working as a lurah in our village. Farming to raising cows. My father worked hard to send me to school. I studied hard so as not to disappoint my father and mother who worked so hard to send me to school. Until finally I got a scholarship, and entered the medical faculty. Met my best friend Nita with the same major.

I don't know when Adi bends one leg and one sticks back, head looks up at me

Until Nita and her parents came to us. We are the center of attention of female students, who are happy today.

"Layla Hidayati, do you want to be my girlfriend?" Adi said at the time.

deg

I'm confused what to answer. all eyes look at me and say thank you.

I stared at adi for a while and lowered my gaze again. Think for a moment to string up the right words so that Adi doesn't get hurt by my answer. My heart was beating faster and it really fell, my hands were also wet with sweat.

"Mas Adi stand up first" I said to him

Adi shook his head and said "I will stay like this until you answer first" I looked at my father and mother they just nodded their heads leaving the answer to me.

"I.... I just can't start wordless relationships with men because it will only bring us closer to a******y" I'm not a religious person but I just take care of myself, there have been many examples of young people dating and producing fetuses before legal word.

Adi looked at me again and said "okay then. layla you want to marry me or not" i can't refuse if someone proposes to me let alone seeing adi smiling softly at me. Applause from the people, Adi's family smile is also my mama's father's smile. Makes me involuntarily nod. Embarrassed and happy at the same time proposed to the person whose name I always mention in a third of my nights, especially in front of many eyes. I received flowers from adi and adi stood up.

A month after that we got married and I also started working in one of the best hospitals in Jakarta. Actually my mother-in-law was kind to me, from the very beginning of marriage. But maybe because he never got a grandson from Adi, he was impatient and finally found another woman for Adi.

After I was ready with the things I brought, I kept a letter for Ad. I looked around my room and Adi for the last time.

Once satisfied I went downstairs with my two big suitcases and one small bag. I didn't bring much, just my clothes and my stuff. I looked at the whole house and said goodbye to my aunt, the driver and the security guard who looked at me with compassion and tears in my eyes.

I brought my own car because I couldn't bring the mang juki driver who used to take me to the hospital or anywhere.

I looked at my house and Adi for a while before driving my car. The house that witnessed the joys and sorrows of me and Adi for these 7 years. I ended up having to leave because I lost with circumstances that required me to give in.

I also drove my car bringing good memories with Adi.

..........

*I came to give color for a moment

And gone forever.

For your happiness adi*.
