DON'T CRY

"Emm.. I just want to ask, when else should I have the wound on my back checked?" asked Abimanyu with a feeling that suddenly felt broken.

"Should be tomorrow Abi, but since you're already here, it's okay I'll check on you." replied Kasih in a friendly manner.

"No need Sih, I'll be here again tomorrow." said Abimanyu with a smile.

"It's okay Abi, you wait there okay." said Kasih attentively.

"I can't Sih!! It's time for our lunch, I only have a little time to be able to have lunch with you and besides who ordered medical treatment during break time." said Gilang from inside when he heard the conversation between Kasih and Abimanyu.

"It's okay Lang, he's already here." said Kasih defending Abimanyu.

"He's right Sih, it was me who was wrong, I should go home." said Abimanyu with a bad feeling.

"Don't mind Gilang, Abi, you wait there, okay?" said Kasih a little annoyed with Gilang's disrespectful attitude to her patients.

"Why don't you take my word Sih? Am I worthless in your eyes? Is this how you continue to treat me? Always against my words, especially for the sake of other men who have nothing to do with you!!" Gilang shouted with overflowing emotions.

"Watch your speech and attitude Lang, he is my patient." said Kasih trying to be patient.

Abimanyu who heard the quarrel between Kasih and Gilang became uncomfortable and wanted to leave that place immediately.

But Abimanyu's steps stopped when he heard the answer from Gilang which made him furious.

"You are like a woman on the side of the road. Just because of another man, you don't obey the words of your future husband, can't you refuse him!" Gilang shouted while gripping Kasih's arm.

Kasih roughly released Gilang's grip.

"Let go of me! Don't touch me again if your words are still like that! Remember! I've always been patient all this time, if you don't change I can leave you too!" said Kasih in a voice full of pressure.

"What did you say? Remember that your parents sold you to my parents! You are like a slave to me!!" said Gilang with emotion.

Not to mention Gilang continued his words, suddenly a punch from Abimanyu landed on Gilang's nose.

"BUGGG"

Gilang's head wobbled slightly when Abimanyu hit him on the nose.

Fresh blood came out of Gilang's nose.

Kasih, knowing this, intends to help Gilang, but Gilang's hand pushes Kasih's body violently until he falls into Abimanyu's arms.

"Look who's cheating here! You look holy even though you can't refuse a man who comes to you! Remember, Kasih, I will tell my parents this." said Gilang with anger.

Hearing Gilang swear at Kasih, Abimanyu's hand moved to hit Gilang again, but Kasih's hand stopped him.

"And what's your name? Remember don't hit me again, if you don't want to lose your life." said Gilang getting up from his place by wiping the blood flowing from his nose.

After Gilang left with his car.

Kasih sat in her chair with tears running down her cheeks.

Abimanyu stood frozen, not knowing what to do.

Seeing Kasih's constant crying, Abimanyu's heart ached even more.

Without a sound Abimanyu walked over to Kasih who was still sobbing.

Standing in front of Kasih who was sitting, Abimanyu slowly held Kasih's shoulder.

"Shut up Sih, don't cry anymore." said Abimanyu in a deep and nervous voice.

Cold sweat started to spread all over his body.

Hearing Abhimanyu's voice telling her to stop crying.

Kasih's cries grew louder, embarrassed for Abhimanyu because he had to know about her quarrel with Gilang.

"Hey, don't cry anymore." said Abimanyu still standing tall in front of Kasih.

"Can't you persuade the crying woman Abi?" asked Kasih, looking up at Abimanyu's face, which looked tense.

"I've done it Sih, but you're crying instead?" said Abimanyu not knowing what else to do.

"When did you do it?" asked Kasih who was a little comforted by the presence of Abhimanyu who was so stiff in front of her.

"I told you to stop crying didn't I?" said Abimanyu innocently.

"Are you coaxing a woman while standing?" asked Kasih again holding back her smile, for some reason the pain in her heart just disappeared with the presence of Abimanyu who was so innocent.

"What should I do? tell me?" Abimanyu asked seriously as Abimanyu unconsciously sat beside Kasih.

"Tell me now what should I do to persuade you?" Abimanyu asked again looking at Kasih's face.

"Hold my shoulder, and say what you said earlier." said Kasih explaining to Abimanyu by holding back a laugh.

Abhimanyu was silent, should he hold Kasih's shoulder, a woman he considered very holy.

"Do I have to hold you to persuade you? Are words not enough?" Abimanyu asked getting nervous about Kasih's challenge.

"Abi, have you never persuaded a woman?" asked Kasih looking at Abimanyu's eyes that looked so clear.

"I did, but I didn't hold you shoulder." Abimanyu answered honestly.

"Then what do you do?" asked Kasih again very curious about Abimanyu's personality.

Abimanyu was silent again, should he tell Kasih that if he persuaded Aunt Linda or others just to put him to bed immediately, then their hearts melted so easily and gave everything Abimanyu asked for.

"There is not any." said Abimanyu lowering his face, his heart began to get restless with his lie.

Kasih looked at Abhimanyu's face with a question mark, but Kasih felt that it was not the time for her to ask about Abhimanyu's personality.

"Oh, Abi, it's not that you wanted to have your wound checked, let's go to my practice room, I'll check it there" said Kasih, diverting the conversation that Abimanyu seemed to feel uncomfortable.

"No, I came here to take you to lunch, that's if you want. I won't get mad if you don't, so don't be afraid if you refuse." said Abimanyu honestly.

"You're taking me to lunch?" asked Kasih in disbelief.

"Right, sorry if I startled you." said Abimanyu when he saw Kasih's surprised face.
