Part 40.
"I'm coming to the hospital, okay? Want to meet your family!" said the CEO with an innocent smile.
"Are you serious, Calvin?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I'm serious!" Calvin answered, looking into my eyes.
"Calvin I'm afraid, later there will be employees who complain to Mrs. Mentari!" I remembered the woman's threat.
"Clara ... believe me! Nothing can stop our love!" he said.
I looked deeply into his eyes, wanting to prove his point. That's when I realized that I was still in the parking area. From far away Security whistled, teasing us
"Don't date in the parking area, please! Just be jealous," sneered security, laughing.
"Hm, you really don't believe what you say
me!" he protested.
"Alright, let's go to the hospital! My family is waiting!" take me.
I got into the car first, not long after Calvin followed behind with his car. Security arranged parking, until our car came out of the office area.
This afternoon the road began to congest, the sky looked cloudy as if it was about to rain. I pray that it doesn't rain until I get home. I saw from the rearview mirror, Calvin's car was still following behind me.
Derrtt... derrtt...
My phone vibrates again, it must be Mama on the phone, I thought. As soon as I looked at the cellphone screen, it was the handsome CEO who sent the message.
"Clara... don't drive too fast! It can be dangerous!" remember.
I immediately reduce the speed of the car, then reply to his message by writing a love emoji. I smiled to myself reading the message from the CEO. My body feels warm when close to him.
The car has arrived in front of the hospital. I called Mom to get ready. I'll take him inside. Behind, the CEO's car, just arrived in the parking lot. He got out of the car and met me.
"Come on, let's go in!" he asked holding my hand.
Arriving in front of the reception room, I passed Doctor Steven. He frowned, looking at the CEO.
"Mr. Calvin, what's wrong? Would you like a check-up?" asked Doctor Steven.
Reflexively, I immediately let go of Calvin's hand. I was surprised to see Doctor Steven, greeting the CEO.
"Hm, you two know each other, ya?" asked Doctor Steven confused.
"W-we are..." I paused. "We are close friends!" replied the CEO while looking at me.
"Oh-it's okay," replied the Doctor.
"I want to pick up Clara's family! To be precise, Sis Sarah, who just gave birth," replied the CEO casually.
"All right, please continue with the family show! I'm sorry, Mr. Calvin!" said Doctor Steven as he left us.
Doctor Steven had looked at me, in his eyes a look of disappointment. The tone of his voice also felt that way. Fortunately, the CEO did not notice the change in the Doctor's attitude.
"Clara... where is your family?"
"They're going downstairs! We just sit in the waiting room!" I said.
"Doctor Steven knows your family well, doesn't he?"
"Yeah, that's Mama's doctor!" I explained.
"No wonder he was surprised to see us walking together. Maybe the doctor likes you," the CEO whispered in my ear.
"Ahh, you're not kidding," I remembered.
Hearing the CEO's words, I felt guilty. Doctor Steven is very kind, has often helped my family. Starting from dealing with Papa's accident, treating Mama's illness to helping Sister Sarah give birth.
All of that, Doctor Steven handled deftly. He was always there when my family needed help. But after seeing the two of us come together, is he still as kind and friendly as before?
"Clara...!" Mama's voice called out to me.
"Well, that's my family! Come on, there, let me introduce you!"
Mama holding the little baby. While Sis Sarah walked slowly was held by Sis Roy.
"Who is this, Clara?" Mom asked.
"Introducing, I'm Calvin, Clara's close friend!" said the CEO casually.
"Oh-I'm Clara's Mama! And this is her sister!" Calvin immediately shook hands with Mama and my two sisters.
"Sorry, Mom! Before I go home, I want to take this family to dinner!" Calvin asked politely.
Mama and Bro Roy looked at each other then looked at me. I am waiting for an answer from them. But what about the baby in Mama's arms? This baby is still vulnerable to the night wind.
Mama and Bro Roy were whispering, they didn't know what they were talking about. Calvin waited patiently for an answer from them.
"Okay, if the timing isn't right, maybe another time!" said the CEO.
"Sorry, Calvin, we have to get home soon!
The weather outside is already cloudy, scared of this baby catch a cold!" Mama said.
"It's Okay, no problem! I get it, Mom!" said Calvin. We parted ways in the parking lot.

My car was driven by Bro Roy, while I was sitting in the back seat with Mama and baby Sis Sarah.
"Cla... where is your friend who you knew earlier?" Mom asked.
"I met you at the contest yesterday, Mah!" I answered.
"Calvin is seriously dating you?"
"Hm, Clara has just been in a relationship with him. So far it seems serious," I said.
"What's the job?" Brother Roy interrupted.
"Calvin works at his parents' company, he's a top manager," I explained.
Everyone in the car was silent, didn't ask any more questions. I deliberately didn't tell Mama that Calvin was the boss at the office. I don't want to talk too much about my relationship with him. I want to focus on work and career first.
I was lying in the back of the car seat when my phone vibrated. There is an incoming notification in the green application. As soon as I looked at the screen, there was a message from yesterday's contest event.
The message invited me and Calvin as guests on the next episode of the contest. I immediately sent the message to Calvin's cell phone.
"Clara... who sent the message?" ask mom
"From the contest event yesterday, Mah!"
"Is there a problem?"
"Nothing, Mah! Just invite to come to the event!" I explained.
"Oh, thank you," Mom said.
Not long after the car arrived in front of the house, Bro Roy went down to open the fence. Thankfully it didn't rain, even though my heart was already worried, because I was carrying a newborn baby in the car.
