Chapter 30
I walked out of the studio at the cinema with a satisfied heart. The story is very exciting and can drain the emotions of the audience, including myself. I even cried and laughed while watching it.
At the same time express the heart, right? As the saying goes, 'While Diving Drink Water'.
I casually walked down the hall to the outside of the studio. In front of me also walked leisurely two women who were busy chatting. I could hear their conversation quite clearly.
It looks like they're talking about their crush.
"So how is your relationship with Umam?" asked the woman in the hat. I sharpened his hearing because they were chanting Umam's name.
The woman next to her smoothed her hair before answering her friend's question.
"It's hard, he still expects his ex first," he replied.
"I'm so sorry for you, Angel. Time to lose to an ordinary girl," his friend mocked.
Wait a minute, Angel? Ummah? Are they talking about the Umami I know? So the woman in front of me turned out to be Angel, the woman I saw was hugging Umami at the hospital yesterday.
I continued to listen to their conversation curiously.
"Hah, I don't know! Even though I managed to make her boyfriend angry at the hospital. So at that time I found out that Umam had just returned from an assignment in a remote area and I happened to see her boyfriend come looking for her. I immediately went into her room and pretended to be is sad. You know that Umam is a person who can't bear to see a woman crying in front of her."
Oh, so that's the story. It turned out that this Angel deliberately made a scene as if he had a relationship with Umami to make me angry.
It turned out that Umami was innocent. Okay, I'm not going home either. My goal now is to return to the hospital to see Umami.
I have to apologize for misbehaving with him.
Umami was talking to a doctor in the parking lot when I arrived in front of the hospital. It looked like he was going home because his car door was already open.
I became hesitant to approach him, so all I did was stand near the security post.
Umami's chat with her friend was over, I saw she was about to get into her car. However, he took out a cell phone from inside his shirt pocket.
Umami called while leaning on her car body so that her position was now facing me.
Our eyes finally met, Umami looked surprised to see me. However, it didn't take long for him to put his phone in his pocket.
Hurriedly he ran towards me with a face as bright as the sky that afternoon. While I just stood rooted to the spot since earlier.
Umami has arrived in front of me, I don't know what to say.
"Sorry, I...." My words were cut off when Umami suddenly hugged me.
"You're not wrong, Ra. I was wrong, I'm sorry, yes," he whispered.
"Ehm, let me go, Umam! Shame to see the others," I whispered too.
Umami moved her body away from me while laughing.
"What are you riding? I'll take you, okay?"
I just nodded because I had come to the hospital on purpose to see him.

"Let's eat first, shall we? I'm hungry because I didn't have time for breakfast this morning," Umami said to me.
We are on our way back home.
I nodded in agreement, my stomach was already feeling hungry. You know, it's time for lunch.
Umami turned her car into a restaurant that was not too crowded.
We chose to eat in the gazebo in the courtyard next to the restaurant. While waiting for the food we ordered to arrive, Umami apologized to me again.
He told the incident yesterday, exactly what the woman named Angel said in the cinema earlier.
Meaning Umami wasn't lying, she was only framed by her friend.
I also apologize for getting angry without hearing the reason first.
"I'm glad that you understand, Clara. Erm, does this mean you want to be my future wife, Ra?"
Deg, Umami just to the point. I'm not ready to be shot like this, am I?
I was silent because I didn't know what to say. Luckily the food we ordered had arrived, I didn't have to answer the question right then and there.
"Eat first, okay. I'm really hungry," I said.
Umami seemed to understand, he didn't force me to give an answer right then and there.
We also ate in silence. While chewing the food, I thought about what answer I should give Umami later.
Honestly, my heart began to be attracted back to him. However, I still doubt whether this soon should be married again. While I have only been separated from Mas Azzam for a few months.
"Don't eat while daydreaming, Ra. You'll choke later," remembers Umami.
"I'm not daydreaming, the food is delicious so you have to live it," I squirmed.
Umami smiled and didn't speak anymore. We went back to eating in silence.
After finishing, Umami immediately took me home. Even though I was surprised, but in my heart I felt grateful that Umami didn't demand my answer anymore.
Until we arrived in front of my house, Umami was still silent. He just smiled and nodded when I thanked him.
I took a deep breath while looking at Umami's car that was driving away from my house.
"I'm sorry, Umam. I can't answer right now. I'm still confused about how I feel right now," I muttered before going into the house.
***
"Papa leaves all decisions to you, Ra. So far, Papa has made a mistake by forcing his will on both of you. Papa is sure, you can make good and right decisions," Papa said.
In the afternoon I told Papa about Umami's desire to marry me. Turns out my dad gave it all to me.
"Actually, Clara is starting to like Umami again, what. However, for some reason there are still doubts. Clara is afraid," I replied doubtfully.
"Scared? What are you afraid of? Her mother has agreed, even to meet you in person, right?" asked Papa.
I have already told Papa about Umami's mother. Usually I always tell Mama whatever my problem is. Now, since Mama died, I tell Papa. We are so much closer now.
