Attracting a Heart-Captured Dragon
Chapter 29's
Walking down the road I've never been to the south in this beautiful city, the current scene looks much different where the Bosphorus Strait can not be seen again and changed into a sand plains of soil that is slightly in the hills. It would take me a few hours if I wanted to look back at the campus with the Bosphorus Strait so dearly missed. But the view of this city is not much different even though it is in the rebuilding stage and it looks like people are doing activities as usual.
Legs back step on a shop that sells various daily needs where it seems not too many people who shop there. Awakened to the needs that I had not prepared before, I finally decided to shop at the store and get acquainted with the locals considering my service period of approximately 3 months will be spent while here..
As always, the hospitality of the surrounding population with a culture that impressed me always makes this heart interested and feel longing to come back. But just because of the circumstances and feeling tired of something I could not accept, I decided to run away while everyone pulled my hand trying to wake me up in silence waiting for the results that might make me smile.
“ Noon.. Are you a newcomer? I just saw you here.”
Said one of the shopkeeper women in Almira using Turkish
“ Aahh Yes, introduce me Almira.. I am from Indonesia and will work at Mectup Isik Hospital for approximately 3 months.”
Almira, who smiled as she shook hands with the woman, spoke Turkish
“ So you're a Doctor? Meet me Burcu and that's my husband Canam. We're natives here, so if you need help we just say.”
“ Thank you very much.. Actually I was in need of some kind of tour guide who could introduce me to this place.. Do you know someone who might be able to.”
“ Of course, Turan! Come here for a minute.”
Burcu said to a man
“ Turan, meet him is a Doctor who will work at your hospital.. Her name is Almira, she is from indonesia.”
“ Wait, Hospital.. Yours?.. Sorry, what you are..”
Almira was surprised by pointing to Turan
“ Introduce me is Turan Madarik. I just replaced my father as Director there.. You can say I am new here, but this city is my hometown.”
Turan's smiling speech shook hands with Almira trying to explain in Turkish
“ Wow, what an unexpected.. Tomorrow should be the day I formally introduce myself to you at the hospital. But not expected to meet you here.”
Said Almira who was also smiling by returning Turan's handshake
This man's smile felt reassuring to a heart that felt tired.. By lowering my head, I begged him to continue shopping again and he continued what he was doing. Feeling that there was no business going back, I left and walked back to my inn which seemed to me to forget whether to turn right or left at the crossroads of this vast highway.. Trying to contact Filiz, suddenly stopped to see Turan who seemed to run towards me and stopped right in front of me..
“ Aa.. What was? Did I pay less earlier?”
Almira spoke a little scared in Turkish
“ You're so funny. No, that's not why I'm after you.”
Turan said with a breath that chases after Almira
“ Alright, then what's up? Is there anything I can help you with?”
“ I heard it was you who needed help?”
Turan's speech that gave a sly look to Almira
“ Aaahh.. Do I really look like a prodigal who forgot his way home?”
Almira who gave a plain face with a ignorant smile
“ Aahahaha... You must be heading to the hospital's special lodge, right? All right, I'll take you there, because I happen to be walking that way.”
“ Really? Thank you very much.”
Almira slightly lowered her head to Turan
“ The streets here are indeed many turns, so make sure you remember them during your stay here if you don't want to get lost.”
“ Will I remember it..”
Walking with a smile on our faces, for some reason even if we only met a few seconds ago, our conversation topic did not stop and occasionally he laughed at my turkish language which still needed improvement and not one bit he tried to follow me, what Turan did was seem to be a really fun arguing companion.. Along the way Turan also introduced several places that I can go and became a recommendation to unwind after a day of activities later.. We talked until we did not feel we even arrived at the inn in question.. Bending our heads and smiling at each other, we parted with a wave of hands like a friend.
Time does not feel towards night.. The view of the Bosphorus Strait that I yearn for today changed into a stretch of green hills with the sound of song of melodious birds that seemed not tired to sing every time.. But the gust of wind did not change at all, still felt tight with the cold air felt. Finished preparing all the necessities for tomorrow starting the day for me to work on the first day, I tried to lean on a chair on the balcony of the inn that felt on the 5th floor of this building. Until Lilian finally contacted me that she had arrived at the gate and asked me to open it..
“ You avoided my wedding a year ago, but now you will be here for 3 months?... Almira, you've passed heartless to me!”
Said Lilian who puffed her forehead and was feeling annoyed
“ Login.. I don't want anyone to hear and be misunderstood.”
Almira pulls Lilian's hand to go inside
“ I USE INDONESIAN! WHO WILL UNDERSTAND?!”
Lilian who was upset at Almira, raised her voice even more
“ Shh, Shhh.. Okay, yup.. Ii'm sorry.. Why are you yelling?!”
Almira who lowered her head many times and pulled back Lilian's hand to go inside
“ Your stay is not much different from our Apartment at that time.”
Lilian who walked and sat on the sofa
“ Yes, the facilities here are also very good and complete.. What do you want to drink? Cold or hot?”
Almira walked towards the kitchen and prepared some snacks and drinks
“ I'm pregnant.”
#PRAANNNGGG
Almira who was shocked to the point of unknowingly dropping the cup from her hand
“ As usual.. You're always like this when you're surprised.. So, where's my congratulations?”
Lilian got up from the sofa and walked towards Almira in the kitchen
“ You what..?? Ha, pregnant?”
“ Yes, new fifth week.. Right now I always feel nauseous and dizzy.”
“ KYAAAAA!! LILII!! I'LL BE AUNT??”
Almira who shouted happily and immediately hugged Lilian
“ Stop, stop you making me dizzy.. Can I throw up..”.
“ Ma.. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.. You okay?”
Almira who looked worried and immediately brought Lilian sat back on the sofa
We talked until we forgot the time didn't seem to show at 22:00 p.m. Feeling uncomfortable with Emre, I asked Lilian to go home.. But Lilian refused and showed the contents of the bag carried by her in the form of 1 stel of nightgown and copy clothes for her to wear tomorrow.. By laughing happily together again, we also made a video call to Kirey who is currently with Hammet who is in Indonesia. Kirey also promised in a short time, will return to Istanbul with Hammet and oblige us to regroup the three..
“ Reportedly good only.”
Lilian said as she pulled her blanket and fell asleep beside Almira
“ How about Yashinta? Is the relationship with her fiance smooth? When's.. She's getting married to him?”
“ I don't know about it, because Serkan is very close about it. However, I have never seen Yashinta come to Istanbul even once.”
“ By reason?”
Almira who arrived sat down beside Lilian was curious
“ Serves like crazy who only cares about work, work, and work! Even until now he is still like that, making us all worry about him.”
Said Lilian who was also seated
“ So.. He's back to what he used to be. Did he sit back pensively alone in.”
“ Yes you are right.. But this time Serkan was able to control himself. Even though he is like that, but he is still calm and thinking rationally.”.
“ Thank goodness.”.
“ What are you... Not intending to, me..”
“ It's night.. Good night.”
Almira who cut off the conversation suddenly fell asleep by pulling a blanket over her
“ Almira.. Why are you running away like this.”
Lilian who looked sadly at Almira and laid herself back to sleep
Yeah, you're right, Lilian. Why am I running away like this? What is the reason that makes me become like this when I myself actually really want to run towards it?
. . . . . . . . . . . .
The clockwork moved and it was time for us to return to our activities. By seeing Lilian's departure with a luxury car, seen another car that turns and stops before me which is none other than Doctor Gulzen and Doctor Filiz. When we arrived at the hospital, me and several other Doctor Partners who came to do self-introduction and we were given monitoring how the current condition of the Hospital and also what we will do while we are here.
Completion introduces every part of the Hospital, the, I was also stunned to see the hospital facilities that are also so Modern by following the development of medical science that makes us as Doctors feel very helped and also as a container to add wider insight unto us. Time turned around and we finally met the hospital officials, and what he said to me yesterday...
“ Because this position has only received no less than a month, so I also ask for cooperation from all of you.”
Said Turan who introduced himself as the Director using Turkish
“ Alright, all Doctors are expected to go to their respective rooms, except Doctor Almira, Doctor Jessy, and Doctor Lee young who will conduct a consultation therapist session in this room.”.
Said a senior nurse to everyone in the room in Turkish
“ Good luck.”
Turan whispers to Almira while passing through using Turkish
Subjugating his head in his honor, before long I and several other Doctors who stood silent were surprised by the arrival of several Adults and Children who were in a state of Disability. Wheelchairs and the help of a cane adorn the bodies of those who still find it difficult to walk because of the adjustments they have to make.. At the end of the meeting, a nurse walked up to me and the other Doctor by handing over a piece of paper on the details of the division of duties that would be the Doctor of these patients..
Aware of the 3 small children and 2 adults who were my patients, before meeting and greeting them, I also saw with a little distance away about how they are currently. Trying to ask how could their condition get like this also looks useless to see the feeling of being hit and trauma that is so visible from their faces at this time who is looking to find out who is the companion doctor who is will fill their day for the next 3 months.
“ Good morning.. Introduce me Doctor Almira who will be your Therapist in the next 3 months.. Is there anything I want to say at the beginning of this meeting?”
Almira spoke turkish to the five patients, smiling in Turkish, trying to subdue her body
“ Only 1 of our questions to you.”
Say one of the patients to Almira
“ Say, what is it?”
“ Why do you want to help us when we ourselves are tired of the reality of life for each of us?!”
“ Your Hmm.. Elif's 24-year-old sister.. Then you're Derya's 19-year-old brother, and then there's a handsome little sister named Kismet and the same 12-year-old Harka.. Our last princess was 8-year-old Emine.. Has anyone missed me?”
Almira said with a smile to the patients
“. . . . . . . . . . . . .”
The silent patients heard Almira speaking
“ I am not a wise therapist like other Psychologists. So with a heavy heart I say, you guys will be hard to survive.”
“ What?.. What'd he say? Are you telling us to die? Are we really no longer able to be helped?”
Say some patients to Almira with a questioning and frightened look
“ You know I can help you, but you don't open yourself to me.. So, how can I help?”
“ Didn't you see our current condition?”
“ Big lies if I say you guys will be fine. But, one thing I can say.. The reality of life ahead, will be more difficult than you imagine. You survived until a certain moment for a reason, and therefore I am here to try to help you all.”
“ But, our limb is already..”
“ I'll teach you what it means to be self-sufficient. So, will you cooperate with me?”
Smiling Almira reached out to the well-received patients
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Time passed, it did not feel like 2 weeks had passed in this beautiful city. Our closeness began to bond but I still had a little difficulty when trying a therapist session to Emina who always put up a fight by throwing things at me. Disability conditions that Emina experienced was a little more difficult than others because of the accident she experienced at a relatively young age, he had lost his hearing and one of his legs had paralysis which until now is still unknown whether it can be cured or not because Emina always refused with resistance when going to the examination.
In the middle of the day in the current fall, sitting in the hospital garden area by devouring a packet of meat bread with a medium-sized cup of warm milk, is, my mind floated about what I should do to Emina who was still always throwing things, which made me worry about her own safety condition.. At first I thought it was just my fear, but it turned out that it was all really happening...
“ DOCTOR ALMIRA! DOCTOR!”
A running nurse tries to find Almira in the garden yard using Turkish
“ I'm here! What's the matter with Sister Hande?”
“ Emina! Doctor, he somehow managed to lock himself in the consultation room. And based on CCTV footage, Emina always looks out the window that is wide open!”
No longer hearing the explanation Sister Hande said, I no longer paid attention to my messy lunch schedule by running towards the 10th floor where Emina was. With a sigh that was blown, it was seen that everyone here was trying to open the door and some patients who looked frightened saw the current condition.
“ WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING? TAKE THEM ALL BACK TO THEIR ROOMS! AND YOU, HEAD TO SECTION CHIEF TO ASK FOR THE CARD LOCK!”
Almira said, appointing the nurses to take the patients away and telling a security officer to immediately go to the head of the department using Turkish
Toughest day.. Will it happen again in this beautiful city?
