Doctor's Second Love
DSL 11 - What is it?

DSL 11 - What is it?

Alvin and his entire family are in the living room. Alice was busy playing with her sister, while her grandparents were sitting talking with her.

"So, what does Mama want to say?" Ask Alvin.

"What is your relationship with teacher Alice? Is it because of her, so you sent Alice there?" Stella asked curiously. Alvin is looking. He frowned at the sight of the foreign name.

"Teacher Alice? What does Mama mean? Alvin doesn't understand at all" said Alvin. Because he himself had never met the teacher Alice, how could he have a relationship with her. Alvin went straight to the office after the meeting at Alice's school ended. Even he could not meet the baby because of his sudden work, making him only able to call the sister.

Stella who heard Alvin's words must have been surprised. He did not expect if that was Alvin's response to his question.

"Loh, haven't you met Alice's teacher? Miss Abigail's name is. She's the woman who ate the same thing yesterday with you at the restaurant. Did you forget?" Ask Stella.

Alvin stopped his finger tapping on his phone. He recalled the incident, then he sighed.

"Who is Alice's teacher? Alvin doesn't know, Ma. I went to the office without saying goodbye to Alice. There are some important clients coming to the office, so I need to hurry up to that." Alvin.

Stella who heard that instantly suffocated. He threw his body on the sofa, massaging his own temple.

"Hey, it turns out I was the wrong one. Mama thinks you have a relationship with that woman. Though Mama was already curious about Alice's teacher, because it could attract your attention." Sahut Stella. It was like being knocked down by a wishful thinking from the height of the sky, disappointed. He had dreamed Alvin knit love with another woman as expected by his late wife. But no matter how hard Stella tried to introduce Alvin with a lot of women, in fact none of them managed to attract the attention of Alvin. Let alone glancing, assuming nothing, no. Every time Alvin is required to meet a woman, the man always does not think it exists. In the end it made the women cry at their first meeting. Stella is embarrassed to continue apologizing for Alvin's treatment of them.

"Mama is just too much of a thought. Instead of thinking about me, Mama and Papa would go on vacation. Looks like Mama needs healing," said Alvin who immediately made Adam sparkle.

"That's a good idea, Alvin. Yeah, right, Ma?" Ask Adam to Stella. But the man's face was immediately bent when he got the death gaze of the wife.

"good? Nice from Hong Kong, huh? Who takes care of the foundation if we take a vacation? What about Alice? Then, the hospital?" The constant questions from Stella immediately made Adam sigh. He didn't think that way. While Alvin just shook his head slowly, it seems that his parents were too one eye on him.

"You underestimated me? You think I can't take over your job? I'm Alvin, Pa, Ma. There's nothing I can't conquer even if it's my company's toughest enemy." Alvin said arrogantly. He does not like if he is underestimated even though it is from his own family. It is true, Alvin is a genius man who can take over the company owned by his father at a young age.

"What, Ma?" Alvin was confused.

"Yourself" replied Stella. Alvin was silent, he certainly knew what his mother meant. He sighed, then began to move from his seat.

"Where are you going?" ask Stella.

"I still have work, Ma" replied Alvin. Then the man walked out of the living room after giving a warm kiss on the forehead of the child.

"Until now you won't be able to open the door of your heart to others if you're still not done with your mass, Alvin. Or do you want to wait for Papa and Mama to die first, huh?" shouted Stella who was already unable to hold herself back anymore. It is very frustrating to see the situation of the beloved child.

"Already, Ma. Already," Adam's plea while holding the wife's shoulder. Stella turned her head, a drop of tears flowing from the corner of her eyes.

"Until when, Pa? Mama doesn't want Alvin to spend his time with his solitude like that. Mama's heart hurts, Pa. Mama felt like a failure because she couldn't do anything" Stella said, dropping herself in her husband's arms. He cried bitterly considering everything that had happened over the past five years. Olivia's death was a blow to the entire family, especially Alvin.

"Ssttt, we leave everything to God, Ma. Only He can turn the heart of man. We have to be sure that Alvin's destiny doesn't reach Oliv. There will be someone who will be able to move his heart again as before. Already, hm? Don't cry anymore. Look, you're freaking Alice out" whispered Adam in Stella's ear. The woman raised her head, then turned her eyes to the granddaughter. Adam said, Alice was seen sitting on the nun's lap while hugging her body. The little girl peered towards Stella and Adam.

"Sorry, Pa. I forgot that Alice was still here." After saying that, Stella immediately wiped away the trace of her tears and broke away from Adam's embrace. She smiled, showed her sweet smile and walked over to Alice.

Without them noticing, there was a pair of eyes watching them from behind the wall. He is Alvin. The man only reasoned for the work in order to avoid talking to the mother. He sighed, leaning his body against the cold wall. Feel the wall as cold as his heart and soul.

"If I could, Ma. But what my day would be if this heart could no longer feel the vibes like when I still had Oliv in my life. His passing brought my heart and my feelings, it felt like there was no more passion in this life, Ma. It was like standing on a field without any life moving my heart." - Alvin.

Five years. That long the man lived in a dead heart. Cold, like an icy desert that never once suffered from sunburn. It was as cold as that handsome, dashing male soul. Although from the outside he was able to make all women captivated, in fact in his heart was silent. None of the women was able to attract her attention and eyes.

"Is this all my karma, Lord? My mischievousness in youth you countered with the passing of the woman I loved the most? I'm tired, God. I am willing to live all the karma You gave me, but not by seeing the tears of Mama and Papa. Please, God. Don't let sadness come to them" inwardly Alvin. Unwilling to let anyone know of his whereabouts, Alvin rushes from the place to his private room.
