Dean returns home when Farhan's father, a senior doctor, is about to leave for the hospital.
"Just come home, Dean?" ask Dr Farhan.
"Yes pa." replied Dean as he removed the shoes on the porch.
In the house is prohibited to bring shoes inside, and there are special sandals if you do not want to tread the floor directly.
"Must be from drunkenness again is the same as Marvin." guess doctor Farhan. There is no need to guess that all is true.
Dean's only friends Marvin and Igor were familiar with for a long time. Even with Marvin from when they were in junior high school. And until now they remain inseparable.
Despite having studied at different universities and having new friends and different careers.
"Dean was never too drunk, pa. Papa knows how Dean is. Drink at most a few sloves."
"Yes some sloki. But if the alcohol is high, is it the same?"
"No, this is proof Dean's still conscious."
Doctor Farhan let out a long breath.
"It's important to do your job well. Don't let something like that endanger the lives of patients you handle." he said.
"Remember what profession you choose. Papa never meant for you to be a doctor. You chose it yourself, and you should be responsible." continued the man again.
"Yes, pa." replied Dean later.
"Papa left first" said Dr. Farhan.
"Be careful on the road." said Dean.
Doctor Farhan nodded then he got out and got into the car, which was parked in the yard of the house.
Dean went to take a shower and made breakfast. Shortly after that, he also left.

"Marvin's."
A shocking voice sounded across. Marvin kept the phone away from his ear, because the sound was very scary.
"Marvin, papa knows you're there. Don't keep the phone away. Or half of the company's assets will be in acquisition."
Marvin sighed, then brought the phone back to his ear.
"Yes pa." he said in a lethargic tone.
He could never fight his father, even though he had the power to do so. They have a complicated relationship. Close but always cat and dog. Because sometimes the father wants this, but Marvin wants it so.
"Om Johan said there are some things in the company that you have not handled. Your work for some time lately has always been fun at nightclubs" said the father.
"Well, why else om Johan use the event so lambe turah all." grumbled inwardly.
"Do you know you're blaming Johan right now?"
My dear father read Marvin's heart and mind. It's not that his father is a great man, but he knows who Marvin is. For Marvin is his own flesh and blood, which he has cared for since birth.
"No, Marvin doesn't blame anyone."
"36 years papa is taking care of you. This big time you are still papa urusin. Papa understands where your mind goes when faced with a problem." Marvin's father continued to babble at length.
"Yes pa, sorry."
"Sorry, sorry. You are a habit, always put party, woman, party, woman. New ngurusin company. Papa said, look for a serious partner and get married. Let's not keep going here."
Marvin was always horrified when he heard the word married. He does not want to be tied to any woman. Because it would interfere with his adventures in docking between one woman and another woman.
"You can't be angry about the company, don't talk about marriage. It has nothing to do with."
Marvin fought this time. He did not dare to the father, but for the topic of marriage, it was an exception for him.
"Where papa doesn't tell you to get married, you're always busy with a lot of women. The company is our family legacy, you have to take good care of it. If you get married, at least you can focus on your wife and your efforts. No need to focus on a lot of people, let alone a lot of women."
Marvin again breathed. If this phone is stopped unilaterally, his father will continue to babble even on WhatsApp and Instagram direct messages. The old man is always updated with social media and technology.
"Yes pa." Marvin gave an answer that was looking safe.
"Don't ya-iya doang, immediately take care of what must be taken care of."
"Yes pa."
"Yes, papa wants to work first."
"Yes pa."
"Replace."
Call her at the office girl who often seliweran on the floor.
"Daar."
"Yes sir." Daryanti enters Marvin's room.
"Bikinin me bitter coffee."
"Aren't you sugar, sir?"
"If you need to add Brotowali." he said later.
"Brotowali sir?" ask Daryanti confused.
"Yes hunted!"
"Oh okay-okay sir, right away."
Daryanti rushes to the pantry to make an order from her boss. While the other employees who had heard the sound of not wearing from Marvin, immediately sat ready.
They focus on work. Because if not, Marvin's anger could have been anchored to them.

"Hi, Edgar. It's been years since you've been here."
Dean greeted Edgar O'Brien Panggabean who was now walking and sitting in front of him.
"Om Dean why didn't you come in yesterday?" edgar asked the doctor.
"I'm sorry, yesterday's schedule until the afternoon. You can't come to your birthday. But I have a gift for you."
Dean pulled out a small gift box from his desk closet, and handed it to Edgar.
"Can Edgar open?" ask Edgar later.
"Can, open it!"
Edgar opened the box cover easily, then he found the contents.
"Smart watch?" he looked at Dean.
"Yes, so that Edgar always remembers the time to take medicine" Dean said again.
Edgar smiled.
"Thank you, Edgar never forgot the truth. But sometimes Edgar wants to be a normal person who does not take medicine. So as Edgar forgets."
"It's just wrong, you should take the medicine regularly. If not, you'll believe it."
Dean looked at Edgar's hand which was filled with blue-blue bruises. Usually laymen will think it is because in the pinch of astral beings.
But in reality the handsome teenager was suffering from autoimmune type ITP, or Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.
Where the immune system considers platelets or red blood cells as dangerous foreign bodies. So that the immune system forms antibodies to attack platelets.
This is what causes the platelet count to decrease and causes the sufferer to often experience bruises in some parts of the body, bleeding in the gums or nosebleeds, even to fainting.
Dean's been with Edgar for a long time. Counting since the teenager began to realize in his body often arise bruises. And the worst at that time he had a nosebleed while playing basketball between schools with his team-mates.
"We'll do the check first" Dean said.
Edgar went up and headed for the examination room assisted by a beautiful nurse. After everything was over, Dean prescribed the medication for the teenager.
"Greet me papa, Edgar."
Dean said as Edgar bade.
"Yes, you can't come today because you're out of town" Edgar replied.
"Okay, you're being driven by a driver, right?" ask Dean.
"No, Edgar was with Edgar's friends. They waited in front." replied the teenager again.
"Yes, be careful on the road."
"Yes, thank you for the gift."
"same-same."
Edgar left the room, while Dean continued with another patient.
