...Have you ever heard the saying, if love should not have?...
...Maybe that's what I'm going through right now...
...Just looking at her made me happy, especially when I saw her smile...
...all that is enough for me...
...Sounds weird and crazy, but that's the truth...
It has been a year this young doctor lives in the village of Blanket. He left the frenetic city and the luxury he had so far got. Only for the sake of a girl who had stuck in him since he first met. He never thought he would make such a big decision.
Loving someone in silence and for years. Even though he knew the taste he planted would not get a reply. But that's not what he expected.
A person's sincerity doesn't have to be reciprocated, does it? Maybe that's what Rion Ibrahim had in mind for almost five years.
When there were no patients in the hospital, Rion chose to take up farming and gardening with the villagers. At first, he thought that he would never be accepted as a new resident in the village. But it turns out they welcome the intention of Rion who wants to advance the village.
"Well, Son Rion. You're getting better at planting rice. Nice one!" praise Kosih.
"If I had to do it manually I don't think I would be able to, sir. Luckily Fajri gave away many of these useful machines. Ah, I've missed him and my friends" Rion replies by wiping his sweat.
"If Nak Rion misses family, then go home. It's been a while since Rion's son returned to the city. Don't miss the advanced technology in the city?"
"Come, Sir. I don't think about technology anymore. Making friends with nature is more fun."
While talking to Kosih in the rice field, a man in a neat suit approached them both escorted by a villager.
The man in black clothes looked shocked when he saw Rion coming out of the rice field area bathed in mud and sweat.
"Ricko?" Rion recognized the man. The man was his brother's son, Dion.
"Mr Rion!" Ricko saluted.
"What are you doing here?" rion asked by cleaning his feet and hands that were exposed to mud in the running water near the rice fields.
Ricko couldn't believe that his master's brother had turned 180 degrees from what he had ever known.
"I got a message from Mr. Dion and Mr. Maliq."
"Hm?" Rion frowned.
"Mr Maliq asked Mr. Rion to return to Avicenna hospital. He said if there need pediatricians. Here's the letter!" Ricko handed Rion an envelope.
"Back, kid. There's someone who needs you more." Kosih patted Rion's shoulder gently.
Rion looked far away. All the things he had experienced here felt very imprinted in him. He was not willing to give up all this warmth.
......***......
That night, Rion was pensive in the cottage. He looked at the letter sent by his father. He massaged his temple slowly.
"Sir Rion!" call Aleya who has also just come to the cottage.
The beautiful girl already looked more mature than the first time Rion met her.
"Aleya! Come with me!" rion said without being stale.
"Eh? Coming along? Where do you mean brother?"
"It's..." Rion handed over the duty letter to Aleya.
"Avicenna's hospital? That's kan..."
"Yes. I have to get back to town. And I want to .. You're coming with me too."
Aleya fell silent.
"Don't you have to take another study after this? What will you choose?"
Aleya lowered her face then shook her head.
"Come, Brother. I still don't know what to take."
"Then you think you can come with me. Maybe after there you'll find your purpose."
"Why would you want me to come?"
"I've spoken to your father. He allowed you to get out of this village."
"What?! Why is it so bad to talk to dad?" Aleya was getting angry.
"Because he knows what you want isn't here. Even after I was here, you never saw me, Aleya."
"Sister... Please don't talk like that!"
"I just want you to achieve your dreams. Please think! If indeed you are not willing, then .. I will go alone," closed Rion then leave Aleya who is still sculpting.
......***......
The next day, Rion had already packed his things and was about to leave the village filled with memories. He said goodbye to the villagers who looked sad because they lost the figure of Rion.
"Just calm! I will visit here often. This is my second home" Rion said.
"Don't forget to invite us when you get married." said one villager.
Rion just scratched his nape.
"Yes, Sir. Hopefully it will be easy. Then excuse me."
"Aleya?" Rion frowned in wonder.
"I ... I .. want to go with my sister!"
A smile rose on Rion's handsome face. So did Kosih and the villagers.
"You're serious?"
Aleya nodded steadily. Then he approached his father.
"Dad! Aleya would not disappoint the father and the citizens of Blanket Village. I will study hard so that when I come home I will be a great doctor!"
"Yes, Son. You don't worry about dad. Here father along with the villagers who will accompany father."
"Dad!" Aleya hugged Kosih tightly. This was the first time Aleya had gone far away from the village.
"Go, Son! Rion's son is waiting."
Aleya nodded.
"After this, I will send my phone to you. So you can call Aleya" Rion said.
"Thank you, Rion boy. You're a good man." Kosih patted Rion's shoulder gently. In his heart he hopes that his daughter can accept Rion as his life companion.
......***......
After traveling a considerable distance and also a considerable amount of time, Rion and Aleya finally arrived at the city. They must continue their journey by private car to the apartment that Rion had prepared for Aleya.
Aleya who had just set foot in the city was amazed by the many multi-storey buildings and streets that were crowded with vehicles.
"Well, the city is really amazing! How did they build such a tall building, brother?"
Rion laughing. "You just ask Rana and Fajri. You must miss them, right?"
"Yes. I want to meet them." Aleya smiled happily. There was no tired look from his face despite having traveled far.
But suddenly Aleya asks Rion to pull over the car.
"What's up, Aleya?"
"Umm, Brother. I don't think I can live in my sister's apartment. I'll stay at Sister Arzetta's place only" Aleya said.
"Huh?! The arzetta? Who's she?"
"He's my cousin's brother. He's been living in the city for a long time."
"I'm no stranger to his name. Arzetta?" Rion seemed to think.
"She was the designer of Kak Boy's wedding..." Aleya said it doubtfully.
"Ah yes! Zez! He is the best event designer in town. So, he's your brother?"
Aleya nodded. "At Kak Boy's wedding, Zetta's sister handed me her business card. It's!"
"This is not his home address. So, you're just gonna go to his office?"
"Yes, just take me there. After all, sister has been awaited by the sister's family."
Rion sighed. "alright. I'll take you there."
Actually Rion still wants to be with Aleya, but from now on his phone continues to ring. A call came in from his mother.
Before long, they arrived at an office building. They stopped right in front of Arzetta's Zeze Event Organizer.
Aleya got out of the car and thanked Rion. Aleya waved as Rion's car started walking away.
Aleya stood in front of that 3-story building with a look of admiration.
"I didn't expect that Brother Zetta would be this successful in the city" Aleya muttered.
Aleya dragged her big bag into the building.
...From today I will open a new chapter of my life here...
...In a busy city will be frenetic motor vehicles...
...I don't know what kind of destiny I'm going to have...
...But obviously, I only know one thing...
...I will no longer wish for you anything...
...I will just follow my dream...
...There's no you there...
...and there's only me...
...B E R S A M B U N G...
