adrian's Disease.

         Adrian peeking from behind the door of his room, seen Alya's room is open half , seen Alya was busy preparing to leave for her private school. Alya who was unaware of Adrian's pair of eyes was watching his every move, now walked towards Arjuna's crying baby box

           "Okay, my mother's son is fussy anyway, anyway.?" Alya said holding Arjuna who was crying.

         Adrian, who was still behind the door, now walked slowly to the door of Alya's room, because Arjuna had been crying even though he had been given the source of his life. 

         "Alya, you haven't left yet.? Ask Adrian.

          "Yet, this is Arjuna from earlier fussing continues.?" Alya turned to the source of the voice.

           Adrian walked closer to Alya who was having trouble calming Arjuna down.

             "This is the same dear papa." 

           Adrian grabbed the body of Arjuna who was still in Alya's arms, Adrian also brought the tiny body out of the room and took it to the family room. Adrian laid his body on the sofa.Then put Arjuna's body on his chest, like a panacea, Arjuna who was originally crying now subsided by itself.

         Alya who was watching Adrian from behind her room, smiled faintly watching the beautiful scenery in her eyes. Alya walked over to Adrian who was playing with Arjuna.

         "Arjuna, like to be hugged papa ya, baby." Said Alya standing next to Adrian who was lying on the sofa.

         A few days ago, Arjuna was fussy, Rima the baby sitter and Alya also had difficulty calming Arjuna, but if it is in the arms of the conqueror Arjuna immediately silent and not fuss anymore. Adrian was like an opium to the child. Now Arjuna was fast asleep, in the embrace of his papa. Alya glanced at the clock stuck on the wall , the clock shows 08.00.morning . 

       "Sorry, are you not going to the office.?" Alya asked awkwardly.

        Adrian glances Alya at a glance from the corner of his eyes, looks once Alya who used to be and Alya who is now. Although Alya was given facilities by Adrian but Alya still looks simple, Alya never used the facilities provided by Adrian. 

         "Yes in a minute." Adrian answered briefly.

        Just as Adrian is about to rise from his couch, Adrian's head suddenly hurts, his eyes twitch, fresh blood comes out of his nose , to make him undo his intention to rise from his seat. Adrian grabs the tissue on the table and attaches it to his nostrils. 

         "Why are you.?" You sick.?" Alya's reflexes panicked to see blood stains stain the clothes worn by Adrian.

        Adrian stared fixedly at the face of Alya, who was standing in front of him, there was a sense of happiness in Adrian's heart , a new call launched through Alya's lips and a small form of attention given by Alya, making Adrian feel floating in the air. 

         "I'm fine." Adrian.

          " It's okay how, it's your nose coming out blood mas." Alya said as she grabbed a tissue on the table and put it on Adrian's nose.

         Adrian smiles, as Alya cleans the blood flowing from her nose. 

           "Thank you ." Adrian said while holding Alya's hand.

          Alya who realized something was wrong, instantly the look on her face turned tingling with a red face. Then he took his hand off Adrian's hand.

          "I'm sorry, I've been presumptuous." Alya blushed in embarrassment.

         "I'm going to the bathroom, to clean up this bloodstain." Adrian said as he reached out his hand giving Arjuna who was still in his carrying.

           After giving Arjuna to Alya, Adrian runs into his room. He opened his sink and washed his face.

          "God, how many months have I been out of control, Aura, must be mad at me." Adrian Mummings .

        Activity in the office these few months, really drain Adrian, ranging from handling projects from outside the region to cooperation with Sudirja company, make Adrian exhausted. 

          Panicked Alya was still sitting on the sofa waiting for Adrian, a few minutes later Adrian came out of his room, then sat next to Alya, alya's eyes were fixed on Adrian's reddened nose. 

         Alya looked at the man who was now her rightful husband. Ever since they got married, they cherished each other , Adrian so understanding so far, Adrian has never demanded his rights as Alya's husband.

          "We're going to the hospital." Alya .

          "Ah, no-no later also better, you have not left.?" Adrian looked towards Alya.

          Alya did not reply, she shook her head slowly.

           "Would you leave now, Jonathan is ready to wait for you, soon I'm going too." Adrian said.

         Alya passed away leaving Adrian, Adrian who was still sitting on the sofa staring at Alya's departure until it disappeared behind the main door.

             *******

        Adrian who was driving his car did not go straight to his office. He steered his car to the hospital. Adrian's wide steps towards a room . 

         Arrived at the door of the room to which Adrian was headed, stopped his steps.

             Tok.dok..

            "Get in.!"Sahutan from the room.

            Sitting a beautiful and graceful woman, was busy on her laptop screen, then turned to look at Adrian who was already sitting in front of her.

            "You've missed Adrian's check-up several times." 

            "You forgot., your schedule.?" Smash that woman's doctor.

            "Sorry, Ra, lately I've been busy."Adrian replied with a grin.

            "Yes, you're busy, get married even if I'm not invited, who's the lucky lady.?" Doctor Aura glanced at Adrian.

           Doctor Aura who had long liked Adrian was his heart was now throbbing pain, seeing the man sitting in front of him now belonged to someone else, very lucky woman who became the wife of Adrian, Aura who had loved Adrian to study abroad was Aura one campus with Adrian only different majors, if Adrian majored in management, then Adrian majored in management, in contrast to Aura he majored in cancer medicine, until getting his Oncology degree at the same campus.

         Adrian rubs his face rough, to unravel the tension is impossible Adrian tells about the beginning of his marriage with Alya.

        "Later, I'll introduce you." Answer Adrian .

        "Did your wife know about your illness.?" Ask doctor Aura.

         Adrian took a deep breath, he shook his head. 

        "I'm asking Ra for help, don't let my wife know." Adrian flat.

         "Why.?" Ask doctor Aura.

          "I don't want to burden his mind." Answer Adrian.

           "Well, if that's what you want." 

            "Now lie down." 

           After doing some tests Adrian sat pensively in the waiting room of Aura's doctor. Until Aura's doctor comes to Adrian.

         "You're too tired, until your platelets drop Adrian, my advice is a lot - a lot of rest yes, there is Bayu he can handle your work." Doctor Aura.

        "Oh yes, here I give a prescription for you to drink the next few days, following the schedule of the next examination, I suggest you go abroad Adrian." 

         Adrian was just silent, he was thinking for how to make Alya happy, if one day he left forever at least he had given his best for his son and wife.

         "Thank you Ra, I'm saying goodbye." 

        Adrian grabbed a piece of prescription paper that Doctor Aura gave him.

          "Remember.!" Adrian next schedule don't be late." Doctor Aura.

           Adrian nodded his head.

         Doctor Aura looked at Adrian's back and disappeared behind the door. His soul now feels empty, his shadow wants to be a queen in Adrian's heart, now it disappears already with a proof Adrian prefers others to be his wife, Adrian only considers doctor Aura as a sister. Adrian's treatment during this time made doctor Aura so admired him.
