Sarah instantly paled when she heard Marni grumble at her. Clumsily, the woman then let out a mischievous grin. She was about to answer, but Satria's cries were getting louder, so she decided to calm her son first before explaining everything to Marni.

In a bit of a hurry, Sarah made her way back through the crowd, where people seemed to understand when they saw Satria crying. She finally arrived at the lactation room, and quickly opened the thick curtains. She then walked to the corner of the room where there was a long sofa. Sarah immediately gave her son the right to take a strong sip to fill his empty stomach.

"Do I have to tell Mrs. Marni what happened last night? What if from that incident I get pregnant again?" she murmured as she sighed heavily on her wrinkled face. "What should I do, Ya Allah?" she murmured again as she lifted her head up with a long sigh.

Sarah was daydreaming when the curtains opened from the outside, revealing a man dressed in a doctor's coat with glasses who was stunned to see Sarah's revealing appearance.

"Astaghfirullah hal adziim...! Sorry, I didn't mean to!" screeched the doctor as he tightly closed the curtains, then immediately turned around while rubbing his chest, where his heart was racing.

Meanwhile, Sarah, who was daydreaming, immediately gasped when she heard the screech of the person who she could confirm was male if judging by his voice. The woman hurried to tidy up her open clothes. Then she came out of there while carrying Satria who seemed to be fast asleep due to overeating.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to, ma'am," said the doctor while facing Sarah who had just opened the curtains with her head bowed deeply, so that all she could see was a pair of legs wearing three-quarter leggings, wrapped in green flip-flops with white bottoms, typical of home-made flip-flops for the lower middle class.

"Next time, ask first! Is there anyone inside or not?! After all, this is the lactation room. How can a man enter it?! How rude!" Sarah grumbled, looking fiercely at the man in front of her.

"Sorry, ma'am, this is my room, not the lactation room because that room has been moved inside!" said the man, clearing his throat briefly.

"Don't try to trick me! I've used this room many times and it's impossible to get it wrong!" Sarah insisted.

"I said tru...," the doctor was about to explain again, at the same time as she slowly lifted her face until they were face to face. Their eyes immediately widened when they saw who was standing in front of them.

"You!" they both screamed at the same time while pointing at each other.

A female nurse who happened to be passing by immediately stopped and greeted them politely.

Sarah asked and complained about Hilman's behavior, which she considered disrespectful. However, the reality spoken by the female nurse, silenced her mouth instantly.

Sarah who heard it, then smiled awkwardly. She did not expect that the room she used before, was not the room in question, even though she had insisted on her words, also because the midwife indirectly promoted herself, by telling her true status to the man she thought was an online motorcycle taxi before.

Meanwhile, the doctor saw that the woman he wanted to meet was standing miserably in front of him. "Sorry ma'am ... uh, ma'am ... the room you are using is really my rest room," he said. So... please apologize in advance, if I accidentally saw what I shouldn't have," he said sincerely.

"I-,"

"Wow! Doctor Hilman saw what?" screeched Midwife Maria again getting excited, which actually cut Sarah's speech. Because this way she could get the latest gossip from a doctor who was known to be cold to all women, even to his own colleagues. Only to the patients, the man was friendly.

"It's nothing, Midwife Maria! Nothing important!" replied Hilman nervously as a crisp chuckle escaped his mouth. "Oh yeah, the midwife said she was going to the new lactation room. Why don't you go now? You see...," He raised his right hand, which contained a watch. "It's already ten o'clock in the morning. It will be too late to do everything, if it's not done right now," Hilman reprimanded, hoping that the midwife would leave soon so that he could talk one-on-one with the woman he had a crush on.

"Oh yes, that's right, yes! Please excuse me, Doctor Hilman and Ms. Sarah," said Midwife Maria politely.

"Please!" said Hilman politely. Meanwhile, Sarah could only remain silent after being promoted in such a way.

After Bidan Maria left, Hilman then turned back to Sarah who was about to pass. "Sarah!" he called.

"Yes, Doctor," Sarah replied as she turned around. Her face was red with embarrassment at the misunderstanding that had occurred between them.

Hilman walked over to the woman, then reached into the pocket of the doctor's coat he was wearing. His hand immediately reached for Sarah's hand, who reflexively pulled it away in surprise at the sudden touch. "Oh sorry, I scared you, huh?" he asked clumsily, also scratching the back of his neck. Her face even looked mischievous.

"It's okay, Doctor. Oh yes, about the incident this morning and now, I apologize. I thought the Doctor was an online motorcycle taxi because of the jacket the Doctor was wearing," Sarah said while looking down deeply, she tried not to stare at Doctor Hilman's handsome face, where his nose looked sharp like a slide, eagle eyes, pointed chin, thin lips, smooth white face like an idol, and don't forget his tall body that has a height of about one hundred and eighty centimeters with a broad chest.

"Oh that... I deliberately borrowed the jacket of my friend who works as an online motorcycle taxi, because my mother wanted to match me with the daughter of her social gathering friend. So this morning I was told to pick her up at the hotel where you are. I just want to see his response, is he a person who only looks in terms of wealth or not?" said Hilman.

"Ohhh," Sarah said casually, feeling uncomfortable as people began to walk around them.

"You ... don't want to know the results?" asked Hilman again, hoping that Sarah was a typical woman who was always curious.

"I don't think it's necessary, Doctor. Then, if you'll excuse me, please! Assalamualaikum...!" said Sarah, reluctant to prolong their conversation. Her head was even lowered, and her gesture looked very uncomfortable.

Hilman, who realized it, nodded his head. Although he still wanted to talk at length with this woman in front of him. "Yes, please! Wa'alaikum salam ...!" he replied politely.

"Thank you, Doctor!" said Sarah. Then without hearing a reply from Hilman, she walked away. Back to the front where Marni was.

Hilman, meanwhile, could only sigh wearily with a sour face and weak shoulders.

"Rejected huh?" chirped someone from behind, making Hilman turn his body around. Then looked at the perpetrator with wry lips, who replied by letting out a wide grin.
