Attracting a Heart-Captured Dragon
Chapter 18's
After I photographed the announcement, I drowned in the main lobby of the waiting room.. The helsaid? I got accepted to work here? The best hospital that became my prayer and my dream. How not, here is equipped with modern medical technology tools, Helipad for medical evacuation and there is a healing garden.. Also the best doctors and staff with international service.. Am I going to be one of them? To be honest, I still can't believe what I saw on the paper.. Before long one of the officers called back in with two other people who managed to pass the selection.. We are informed about how it works, all matters related to the hospital especially the signatory part of the employment contract.. I used the pen that Mete bey and Ozcan had given me.. If only they could see me now, using their pen after achieving my dream..
After signing the contract, we were told to wait.. While waiting for us to be shared a book and other things for us to understand. Reading sheet by sheet, the main door of the room opened again and several senior doctors entered. I saw one by one the doctors present, it was really like a dream to be here right now.. Before long I looked at a male doctor who was also looking at me and smiling at me.. It's like I know him.. Wait was he my senior in the campus when he reached the level of S1? What's that... BROTHER GIHAN? Is that really him? Before long, the senior doctors introduced themselves, names, and what units they work in.. But why is the name of kak gihan different? Finished introducing ourselves finally the section chief introduced 3 senior doctors who would be our temporary mentors for a month, and kak Gihan turned out to be my mentor's doctor..
“ Hey almira.
“ Brother Gihan?? Brother works here too? Isn't it at a psychologist's therapy clinic?”
Almira was so surprised
“ Yes, I also work there.”
“ Aaahh double income.. Jenius.”
“ Ahahaa.. Oh yes, congratulations on your title.. I know you'll definitely succeed”
“ Thank you brother.. Oiya sis, sorry as far as I know my mentor's doctor named Dr. Gilang.. And you...”.
“ Yes, gihan is only my post name since childhood”
“ I hope you won't be too fierce and give a bad assessment to the section chief.”
“ Ahahaha.. Let's just take a look.. So, have you contacted your other friends?”
“ Of course ka.. They invited me to meet tonight”
“ Ready to start working the day after?”
“ Of course.. Isn't my love for being able to work here?”
“ Good. See you after”
“ Thank you brother.”
Gihan's brother who will be my mentor?? What luck is this?? With a face full of smiles I walked out and towards my car.. While in the car, I can't wait to tell them all this news.. Mama, papa, and Andre immediately made a video call to me.. As usual, they were so excited and crying.. Not to forget the prayer they gave back to me.. After contacting them, I saw the clock, now at 5 pm.. So it's still 1pm, it looks like kirey and Lilian just finished their afternoon break.. I tried to call them in a video call and tell them the news.. Unknowingly they shouted and closed their mouths because they were embarrassed by the many eyes looking at those who were still in the campus environment.. We finally decided to talk again tonight.. After I finished talking, I drove back and headed to a place to eat where my other friend happened to hold a school reunion..
The event was very crowded and we missed each other, there were even some of us married and had children.. A little bothering me was when they all had a partner and asked me a question that I myself did not have an answer to.. Until it does not feel the time has passed and has shown the time at 9 pm.. I immediately headed home remembering my promise to kirey and Lilian was about to make a video call.. Arriving at my mother's house, papa, and Andre gave me a gift containing a briefcase.. Touched as I hugged them all, andre who was feeling uneasy with my arms pushed me towards the bathroom with reason to smell my body.. After we argued a little with laughter, I immediately cleaned myself up and waited for a call from them..
“ MIRAAA... CONGRATULATIONS!! WE KNOW YOU WON'T GET A JOB FOR LONG.”
Said Lilian and Kirey together
“ No need to shout.”
“ Are you currently in your room?”
“ Yes..”
“ Woow.. You really like pink.. I think with your masculine soul it is very inversely proportional to mir.”.
“ HMMMM..!!!”
“ Mir.. Dr. Who is Handira? I saw that next to your name, he..”.
Kirey said curiously
“ Brother Gihan.. He was my senior when I took S1.. Handsome right? And look, this is when my group took a photo with him during the KKN first.. I saved it”
“ Honest mir?? I don't think handsome”
Said Lilian with averted eyes
“ Your level is now a benchmark guy turkey!! Plus your girlfriend Emre who's a General Manager.. Yes it is Liliaannn.. Down at little level.”
Almira who satirized with a smile on her face
“Much bgt yaa klo compared Serkan.. What is your relationship with the Doctor?”
Kirey said innocently
“ Why did you arrive to discuss it? If your benchmark is Hammet, of course Kirey!! He will be my mentor doctor for the next month.”
“ Oya? Means the doctor will stick to you dong.”
“ It seems more appropriate that I will stick to him, because indirectly I became his assistant”
“ You... What like?”
“ Why are you staring at me like that?? Forget about me, how's your thesis??”
“ Next month mir.. Pray yaa”
“ OYAA?? Mercifully.. SURE IS!! I'm sure you'll get a satisfactory grade.”
“ Remember we made a pact first in Jakarta before returning to each city”
“ I will definitely go to Jakarta.. Looking at you now, I miss my apartment and my room.”
“ You want to make us cry again, mir??”
“ Ahahha.. Sorry sorry.”
We talked until it didn't feel like normal until we fell asleep.. The next day before, I prepare my preparations for work tomorrow.. The briefcase given by my mom, papa, andre, I immediately used.. Then, laptop..... Can I use all the gifts? Back I unpacked my luggage and took to see it in detail about how it was used and so on.. Laptops and clocks really amaze me.. Serkan really understand what kind of stuff I need.. Lastly, the tablet.. I'm trying to use it.. And when I turned it on I was surprised by the look of the tablet wallpaper.. This is a picture of me and Serkan as we sat side by side while looking at the view of the bosphorus..
From the looks of it it looks like this photo was taken when I told him a ghost.. Did Emre take our picture? This photo of Serkan and me looks happy, because we smile at each other.. Unknowingly my hand turned to the tablet screen and touched Serkan's face. How are you doing right now? Are you happy? Stopping at his face, I pulled my hand and clenched it. What the hell am I doing? Suddenly all the memories like lightning struck me.. I don't know why I feel so claustrophobic again.. Why did he choose this photo as the wallpaper screen of this tablet? Did you know that this made me feel heavy because I missed him but couldn't be at his side at all.
......................
“ Morning Doctor Gihan.. Sorry, I mean Doctor Gilang.”
“ Just call me by the name you used to use. And almira, come here.. I'll explain everything we're gonna do today.. Then look at some patients and also at the end we will have a discussion about progress today. More or less during this month we'll be like this, so I hope you have a progress data file that I'll check later”
“ Good Doctor Gilang.”
“ Are you ready? Did you bring a laptop or.”.
“ Yes I brought..”
“ Good.. Read this and write your work schedule and of course you must remember that there should be no mistakes. And in this flash contains reports of patient development.. I ask you for the data back and then we go see the patient's condition.. After that I ask you to do the research results then we will discuss “
“ Good doctor.”
“ Then secondly, there will be therapy sessions from 2 different families for tomorrow.. You'll come with me and give me the report back.”
“ Good..”
“ Last see scheduled there will be a division of labor outside.. We're going to one of the companies that asked to come and provide assessment for its employees”
“ Will almira make sure everything runs smoothly”
“ I know it. Then your room only passed 2 of my room.. Do what I ask, if you're ready, come here and we'll see patient”'s condition
“ Fine, I'm sorry doc.”
I immediately came out with the data in my hand.. Then walking towards my room, as soon as I arrived at the door I was moved to see a board that read my name and title.. Is this my room? I opened the door and it really made me feel like crying.. After waiting and working for 5 years.. All of this paid off perfectly.. Remembering that I immediately realized the work that was waiting for me and did it as best I could.. Data I make as neat and detailed as possible so it is easy to give an assessment when there is a development.. As soon as I finished walking towards the doctor's room and we went to visit the patient's room one by one..
I learned a lot today.. Gihan's brother also very seriously taught me.. Sometimes what we learn, but when on the field it all feels turned around.. Initial patient data that can change in minutes.. Makes me think not only the insights we need, but also the feelings and thoughts should be able to work together in deciding something.. The time difference is even though it is only a matter of seconds, but if in the world of medicine it is fatal if we make a little mistake especially if it is when making a conclusion.. This is the world I chose, this is what I wanted, so I had to really focus on this..
Said Gilang who praised Almira
“ Thank you kak”
“ Okay, I go home first.. The report just put it on the table.. Be careful when you return home”
“OK.. Thank you brother.”
Making a report turned out to take longer than usual.I'd love to get a shoe home and straighten my legs and waist.. Trying to concentrate fully until finally finished working on the report, I immediately rushed to go home because I felt so tired today.. It seems like my body still needs adjustments.. When I got home without cleaning myself, I fell asleep..
.....................
The morning came back, it didn't feel like it was my third week.. I forgot to set an alarm that there would be a section chief visit at 9 a.m.. Waking up and preparing in a hurry I finally arrived at the hospital on time.. The section chief greeted and asked how the first day's impression worked and the three of us' responses turned out to be the same.. The section chief laughed hearing the same reason from the three of us.. Once we're done getting back to our respective duties, for me and the doctor is the time for a patient visit.. Floor 8 room 801, patient named Rifat, age 42 years.. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The doctor asked how she was doing until a nurse passed through the room with a stack of paper, then unexpected events occurred..
Time does not feel until dusk.. I finished a chicken sandwich and a milk box because I didn't have lunch.. Is it my feeling or is this sandwich really delicious? My shoulders and calves felt numb after a patient named Rifat suddenly ran out of the room with an infusion needle in his hand, every time he saw a sheet of paper especially if it was stacked like this afternoon.. I tried to stop him with some other doctors, running all the way down the 8th floor to the 6th floor.. I should have let the security forces go after him because the patient was a man.. But somehow I ran and kept running towards the patient.. If you think, my action when jumping towards the patient was a dangerous action.. Thankfully nothing happened..
I enjoy the wind that blows at dusk.. I don't know why I became so used to carrying this tablet wherever I went, other than for work my main reason was just to look at his face even for a few seconds.. As my chest began to feel tight, I turned off the tablet screen again and turned my head to look at the sky to hold back my tears.. It was not long before the sound of shoes walking towards me..
“ Because of its name healing garden.. Then you came here after work?”
“ Doctor Gilang? Afternoon Doc.”
Almira who lowered her head until her hair fell apart
“ What are you doing! We're out of work hours.. Be biased.. So Almira, how is it today?"
Said Gilang while drinking Cup Coffe from his hands
“ If you can say honestly, like riding a Rollercoaster.”
“ Ahaha.. The best part of the day is when you jump in and take it down.. Ahahaha.”.
“ Serious iih ka.. You're laughing!”
Almira who was downcast felt ashamed
“ Sorry.. Sorry.. But honestly, you're awesome. Even the chief praised your actions today.. Because if it's too late maybe the patient could hurt himself more.”.
“ What will my salary be raised?”
Almira who arrived looked enthusiastic
“ HHmmm?? But you need to remember, your actions were also dangerous. Think twice”
Crossbows that gently nudge from Almira
“ Yes, you were right too sis.”
Almira lowered her head again
“ Then.. Who's that handsome guy?”
“ What..?”
“ I know you not just a year, two years mir.. You're like my sister.. If you hold back the cry, you must love him very much”
“ No..”
Almira tried to shift her eyes
“ Are you trying to lie to Senior Doctor? Amazing Almira...”
Gilang who again spent the drink in his hand
“ There is no place for me.. That place is too far for me kak”
“ I read your journal.. Attractively. The guy in the photo is BPD, right?”
“ Yes..”
“ So like the story of the Doctor who harbored love for the patient.”
“ No! It's not like that, brother.. Me and him..”.
“ Yes..Yes.. Say as you please mir.. You still want to be here?”
The finished Gilang finished his drink and stood up
“ Yes.. Go home! I'm sure Brother Dinar is waiting for you.”
“ Play when to go home.. Don't forget, you haven't bought a gift for my son!”
“ Gift ajaaa.. Basic, okay when I play there I'll bring the gift. Greetings to Kak Dinar yaa”
When I entered her room this morning, there was a picture frame showing their happiness.. Dinar as well.. I used to ask for my help so that Sihan's brother would meet him, it turns out they ended up in marriage.. Good though.. At least Gihan's legs get good women well, unlike his previous girlfriend a long time ago.. My mind again floated up on the clouds that looked a charming, yellowish-orange color.. Is he still sitting alone? It looks like autumn is there.. The weather is cold too.. Did he order coffee to the cashew bay again? Ozcan.. I miss a sister like you.. Can I see you again one day?
When I got home I didn't know why my feet hurt.. When I finished cleaning myself I saw a little red near the ankle.. Am I sprained? I tried to find the foot compress plaster at home but couldn't find it.. When I returned to the room to pick up my sweater and wallet, I accidentally dropped the bag containing the gift from Serkan.. Luckily all the items I have used are only left behind the box of goods only.. But I just realized there's all these little bags in it.. Whose bag is this? Since when is it here? I tried to open the contents of the bag turned out to contain medicinal equipment while I was at home handing it at that time.. Starting from bandages, wound medicine, and there are 3 compress plasters in it.. Then there was a note that contained his handwriting..
#Maybe useful when you need to, given your nature. Always stay healthy with Almira#
My tears came out without my command.. This heart really already feels pain not just tightness.. How's this.. What am I supposed to do? Why does this heart and this feeling weigh so heavily on me? What are you doing to me, leave it! Why make me like this.. Unprovoked cries of feelings that are mere illusions.. Time shows you everything, the things that can be yours and those that are not yours. However, time.. Can you help me recover this feeling?
......................................
“ Sister mira.. Sis.. Wake up! Did you sleep on the floor of your room all night?”
Andre who woke up and helped Rania sat down
“ Aa...what?”
“ Next to you is a big bed! But, you're sleeping on the floor.. And why are your feet?”
Andre who was worried to see his brother's legs wearing a compress plaster
“ Sprained.. What time is it?”
“ Hours 8.. Mama called you for breakfast.. Should I help?”
“ My legs are better.. Dre, today can you help me?”
“ For you?? Of course, brother sayangg.”.
“ What do you want now?”
“ None.. Only camera lenses purchased yesterday turned out to be lacking.. Can?”
“ Origin I asked you to work on and the result is satisfactory”
“ Ohhh sure! I will do my best! With my brain..”.
“ Go breakfast!”
Almira immediately walked out of the room without listening to Andre
Sure oes. Days passed by without looking at who was whimpering. Even I who fell must remain steadfast to stand back in order to live. Trying to turn my mind away from her, I intend to take you to see one of the patients today.. May the hospital permit, so will the foot of Gihan.. This way I feel my debt can be paid.. Sometimes we have to learn to dare to make decisions when others close their hands. I'm pretty sure that this patient is still recovering and he himself wants to be cured.. I hope my judgment and gut feeling are right this time..
