I Miss You, Alberto!
Day by day, Vega’s health is getting better. She gradually recovered.
She has started to do activities as usual. However, she was still not allowed to leave the hospital.
Doctor Chico said that he still had to check the inside of Vega’s body. Maybe two days after that day, Vega could come out after Doctor Chico made sure that Vega was totally fit and healthy.
Despite that, Vega’s head was still filled with Alberto. The man’s refusal overtook her heart. It really weighed on Vega’s mind.
“Doctor Vega!” someone called after opening the door to Vega’s inn.
Vega turned to see who had met her. It turned out that her doctor and best friend, Doctor Chico,
“How are you? Are you feeling better now?” he asked.
“As you can see and know, Chico. Every day, I’m getting better,” answered Vega languidly.
Her face was still pale and looked unenthusiastic. Her body was still cold.
“Well! Thank you, God!” said Chico, who was also happy to hear it.
“But why do you look so tense?” Chico asked when he saw Vega’s tense face.
“That’s because I have a lot of pressure on my mind right now,” Vega complained.
“Thinking about Alberto, hmm?” teased Chico with an amused smile.
“Why don’t you ask him to come here? Maybe he wants to come.” Chico tried to come up with an idea.
“He has been hard to contact lately. Besides that…” Vega’s speech that stopped made Chico feel curious and ask.
“Besides that?”
“At that time, when I just woke up, I had already apologized and asked him to accompany me for a few days. I haven’t asked him to come back like before, but he has refused and just walked away from me.”
Vega spoke weakly. Her gaze showed her sadness.
Remembering that Alberto even brushed his hand away made her really sad. Only that time, she was easily rejected by a man. In fact, in her entire life, she has never been easily rejected by a man except at that time.
Chico tapped Vega’s shoulder lightly. He gave encouragement indirectly as well as advice.
“That’s normal for Alberto to do like that, Vega! He’s too disappointed in you. You have betrayed him.”
“I know. My attitude towards him used to be so bad. I really regret it now,” said Vega.
“Well! Just take a lot of rest!”
“Don’t stress and think about hard things first for a while! Even though your condition is better now, it seems your mind is still not calm,” Chico suggested.
“Your mind can make your condition drop again, Vega. I’m sure you know that.”
Chico is sure that Vega knows because Vega is also a doctor. Vega nodded her head.
“By the way, how about your relationship with Dion? How come he never comes here to see you?” Chico asked curiously, because all he knew was that Vega was still dating Dion.
“It’s over. We broke up!” Vega answered sadly.
“Why?” asked Chico curiously. A frown appeared on his forehead earlier.
Chico didn’t know about Dion and Sonia’s affair until Sonia became pregnant. Vega chose to remain silent at that time because she never intended to tell Chico about it.
She preferred to keep it alone. After all, Vega felt that this was her karma.
“Because you realized that you love Alberto, hmm?” Chico tried to guess.
“Yes, that’s true.” Vega only said yes and nodded her head.
“Then why were you having an affair? It’s just because of the problem of having sex too.”
Chico was unable to stop thinking about Vega. He didn’t get the answer from Vega.
“You know, I was even annoyed with your attitude towards Alberto,” said Chico, full of emotion.
“Yes, I know,” Vega answered weakly.
“Would you mind helping me persuade Alberto?” asked Vega.
“No! Struggle yourself to persuade him!” Chico refused firmly.
He didn’t want to help his best friend. He wants his best friend to learn to take responsibility for the results of her actions.
His best friend has to fend for herself to get what she wants, including Alberto’s love. He also wants to teach Vega that not all male love can be paid for with money, persuasion, and sweet words.
Besides, he doesn’t want to get involved in this matter. He is sure that Alberto will be angry and hate her if he gets involved in this matter because it’s a private matter and it’s not his private life. He doesn’t want Alberto to hate him.
“You’re annoying!” Vega complained.
“I’m sorry! I must go now.” Chico asked her to leave.
“I can only visit you in a short time because there are other patients that I have to visit and check on their condition. I hope you understand!” Doctor Chico explained.
“Hopefully, you will get speed recovery so you can get back to work!” Chico said.
“Okay.” Vega nodded her head.
“Thank you, Chico!” Vega thanked.
“See you later, Vega!”
“See you later, Chico!”
After Chico left, Vega felt lonely again because being alone in the room really made her feel bored. Then she talked alone. “After recovering, I will immediately look for Alberto and go see him.”
“Ah! Do I need to try one more time to ask him to come here?”
Vega put her phone on the table. She looked for Alberto’s phone number and called at that time with another fake account.
“Alberto, I’m Vega. Are you busy?” asked Vega after Alberto picked up the call.
“Yeah. What’s wrong?” Alberto replied in a cold voice.
Vega felt sad because she could already feel the signs of rejection from Alberto. However, even so, she still asked if Alberto could come.
“Can you come to the hospital now? I’m lonely, Alberto!”
“I need you here. I really miss you, Alberto!” she pleaded in a pleading voice.
“I’m sorry, Vega. I’m busy!” Alberto firmly refused.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
It was exactly as Vega had expected. Alberto would reject her firmly.
Alberto was about to end the call, but before that, Vega was already complaining again.
“Can’t you spare a minute? It’s been a while since you’ve seen me.”
“I’m sorry, but I’m really busy right now!” said Alberto again, firmly.
“I don’t think there’s anything else to talk about. Well!”
“Good bye! I’m going to do something more important first instead of wasting time on the phone with you!” said Alberto firmly.
He immediately ended the call. Vega cried immediately.
“Why did I only just realize my love for Alberto? It’s too late now.”
“He’s changed and doesn’t even want to see me. He’s completely left me.”
“If I have understood Alberto’s position and accepted his situation instead of having an affair with Dion, Alberto will still be by my side now. He’s the only one who loves me sincerely,” Vega regretted.
“But I only thought about my lust. I demanded that he could satisfy me in bed.”
“I know making love is a new experience for him. Alberto must think I’m a woman who’s hungry for caresses.”
“Ah! I really feel bad.”
Vega ruffled her hair in frustration. She felt so ashamed of herself. Moreover, the deep regret was making her mind a mess.
“Now I’ve been betrayed by Dion and my own best friend. Is this really karma for me?”
“But I can’t accept Sonia’s betrayal. I’ve been treating her well and even considered her a friend.”
“I’ll make sure she gets paid for what she did,” Vega spat vengefully.
Even though she realized that Dion is not a good man and that she doesn’t really love him, Vega is still hurt by the way Sonia took Dion away from him. By then, Vega’s condition had improved, and she was just waiting for Sonia to be discharged from Rege Hospital.
After that, she made sure she would start working again and asked HR to remove Sonia from the team. That was Vega’s plan at the time.
In addition, Vega also planned to go to Alberto’s house to tell him about his health and persuade him to forgive him. Vega wouldn’t give up on Alberto.
