Doctor Ella Love Story
19. Chasing you

Today is the third day of papa Ella being treated at the Siti Khadijah Islamic Hospital. His body condition has recovered considerably, with the results of the GDA examination that began to fall into the range of the 300s. It is still far above the normal threshold value but it is much better than before.

Diabetes treatment is continued by using the help of the hormone insulin injected twice a day. Diet and low-sugar diet began to be applied. In fact, it is quite difficult to reduce the intake of sugar and carbohydrates that have ingrained meat for the tongue of the Javanese.

Treatment of infection in the legs papa Ella also continued with the administration of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and analgesic injected into the infuse tube. Even every day is done to treat wounds and replacement gauze and bandages on the legs of papa Ella.

A relief from the development of his papal wounds was the absence of secondary infections and complications. So that the healing and growth of new tissue in the legs that shows good results.

Well although it will still take a very long time to regrow the scraped tissue. It may take months, and usually the hospital treatment is only to stabilize the general condition. Furthermore, treatment of wounds can be done at home by calling a home visit nurse.

That afternoon there were some of his papa coworkers who visited the hospital. Papa Ella is a principal at one of the public high schools in Surabaya. Automatic number of fellow teachers who visited this time is quite a lot. Making the atmosphere of this 7 jasmine room becomes more crowded than usual which only has three people, Ella, mama and papa.

"You're so big, Ella, you're a doctor. Pretty anyway," one of Ella's papa friends who Ella doesn't even know her name praises Ella for making small talk. But Ella was uncomfortable with her close-up pretentious nature.

"Yes papa and your mom must be very proud to have a doctor's son, Nggeh mboten pak Bowo?" papa's other friends added.

"Omm, Auntie" Ella replied a little clumsy and awkward with their compliments. She helped her mother to serve her gelatinous drinks and some canned biscuits to the visiting guests.

"Do you have a boyfriend yet? It's even more fitting if you can find a fellow doctor's girlfriend. Fits wes."

"In Banyu Harum time has not met a single doctor, son Ella? Many are young."

"Do you want another profession? Aunty's son is a lecturer at Unmar University. Want to try an acquaintance?" One of the mothers tried to promote her son.

"Om aja ni ni angginer, now working in pertamina," said the others.

Ella really felt increasingly uncomfortable with the talk of these old men. The talk of matchmaking, of marriage, as if the main purpose in life was simply to get married. Ella does agree that marriage is important, but her education and her ideals are also important to her.

And the top priority for Ella at the moment is to focus on completing her interests duties and obligations first rather than thinking about the marriage that somehow will happen and with whom.

Well indeed such talk is inevitable given the age of Ella who is 24 years old. The age where most female friends his age has many who have a partner, engaged or just have a boyfriend.

But for Ella at this age she had just finished her study, she was just about to start flapping her wings. Her career in the medical world has been her dream since long ago.

Suddenly Ella's ringtone phone rang. I love you three thousand, Ella immediately reacted when her phone rang. Incoming calls that feel just in time. Save him from this unpleasant situation.

"Excuse me om, aunt everyone. I'd like to take a call first" Pamit Ella took the opportunity to escape the room.

Ella glanced at her phonsel and found Ardi's name there. Ella kept walking out of her papa's room and took up a position next to the waiting chair in the hospital corridor, a row of chairs that turned against the wall and glass windows behind her. From the super-large glass window on the third floor Ella can see the fountain and the beautiful garden arrangement in the park located just below this inpatient building.

"Hallo, Ella!" ardi's voice rang out as Ella pressed the green button on her phone. From his tone of voice the man sounded impatient.

"Yes Ardi?" answer Ella kalem.

"You why El? Why are you so hard to connect with these three days?" ask Ardi.

"It's okay, man. Just a little busy"

"Busy what? Time to just reply to messages and receive calls is also not perfect?" Ardi is getting urgent.

"Yes, I'm sorry, man" Ella couldn't reason.

"Ella's...Where are you now? Where are you! Share location, El!" Ardi's tone of voice slightly raised up. Ardi was trying hard to temper his emotions.

How not emotional, Ella seemed to disappear without news for three days. Even the messages he sent were rarely answered, the phone was never picked up. It was as if the girl was avoiding him, moving away from him.

"I'm in the hospital" Ella replied.

"I met your friend Intan, he said you haven't been to work for three days!"

Ella is shocked to learn that Ardi is looking for her to RSUD G to find her whereabouts. More surprised to know Intan even told Ardi about him. Then maybe Ardi already knows that he is in Surabaya at this time?

Ella feels guilty for Ardi. It was not meant to avoid the man. But for three days Ella was deliberately trying to focus all her attention on her family. As a form of guilt-redemption to his mother and father. Because he knew that he would not be able to accompany them in this hospital for long.

Tomorrow he must return to Banyu Harum to return to work again at RSUD G. He did not want to trouble his ER teammates too much to cover his absence in the ER.

"Ella! I already know about your papa. I know the state of your papa. I also know you are in Surabaya now. Tell El, where are you exactly? Share location please!" This time Ardi's voice softened a little, he realized anger would not solve the problem. Ella will escape and avoid it.

"Make what? Ardi already knows I'm Surabaya." Ella could not guess Ardi's intention and purpose asking for her location.

"I'm also in Surabaya right now. I'm going there! Chasing you!" ardi said with a little fury.

Next, Ardi tinker at his phone and send the location where he is through the chat application. As proof that he had also arrived in the city of Surabaya. Just to be more precise, he just arrived at the bus terminal between the provinces of Bungurasih after a very long journey.

"I'm here."

Once again Ella was shocked to see a message from Ardi. The man sent out the coordinates of his current location. The Bungurasih bus terminal. So is it true that Ardi has chased him to the city of Surabaya? Ella knew very well the distance between Banyu Harum-Surabaya was very far. Ardi must have traveled for seven hours by bus to find him in this city.

Inevitably Ella's heart was melted, moved by Ardi's actions for her this time. Today is Thursday, effective day. How could a CEO of a company like Lazuardi Pradana be able to wander out of town at will?

How could Ardi possibly leave all his work in the office just to find himself? What about all the work and work in the office?

How a workaholic Ardi Pradana, who willingly stayed up all night just to work and work. Work without regard for everything, even his own health.

Suddenly he becomes an irresponsible man who just runs away from his office, from his job. For herself? Ardi even to the point of looking for it to RSUD G, even further pursue it to the city of Surabaya.

"I am now in RSI Siti Khadijah. Room Melati 7," Ella finally gave up on Ardi's persistence and sent out the coordinates of the location she was currently in.

"OK wait for me to get there. You don't go anywhere. Stay there don't go anymore" said Ardi as if afraid Ella went missing again from him.

"How did Ardi get here?" ask Ella a little worried. Does that man know the streets in Surabaya? What if he's stray? Moreover, Ella knows Ardi is not carrying his personal vehicle at this time? Should I pick her up at the teminal?

"Easy. Lots of taxis at the terminal. Just so there's a clear location for you where I can get there easily."

"Oh yes really," Ella would not want to be amused laugh.

How could he forget that Ardi was a Sultan. Surely he will not be too difficult to find all the facilities that facilitate it with all the materials he has. And again a few years ago Ardi also studied in the city of Surabaya. So a little bit of that guy must still remember the streets of this city.

"I miss you, El." Ardi suddenly interrupted sadly.

"Haha?" Ella was shocked to hear that.

"Never disappear again. Please."

Ardi's words ended his conversation in a slightly dramatic tone. Ella was silent and could not answer.

Shortly afterwards Ardi saw a taxi passing in front of him. He waved his hand to stop the taxi.

"Hold, I got a taxi." Ardi hung up his phone.
