Doctor Niko's Secret
The face of the doctor looks like the face of a building porters
That afternoon, right on Saturday, Niko packed up to go home. One routine that is always done by Niko, is to return to the village at the end of the fourth week, or in other words, once a month Niko comes home to visit his wife and parents.
On her return this time, Niko plans to be honest with Mila according to the advice given by her foster father. He hopes, in the future can build a more harmonious household with the wife and will soon be given offspring. During this time Mila always refused to get pregnant because there was not enough savings and costs to give birth and care for the baby. Moreover, Niko's job is only to make money that is fitting. Mila feels their economy is still relatively weak to take care of a child who should cost a lot.
When he arrived home, it was not a cup of drink or a warm smile that greeted Niko's arrival, but a cold and determined attitude from his wife and in-laws. Even when Niko came, no one greeted her at all, until finally Niko who was more relented to say hello first.
"Good afternoon, ma'am" Niko said to her in-laws and kissed her hand, but Sari threw a rough face away from her daughter-in-law.
Not much different from what his mother did, Mila also behaved as Niko walked closer to him. Even Mila increasingly showed her dislike with the word,
"Not to be sweet. All I want is for you to give me extra money for my needs, not a stale, useless smile!"
Niko let out a long sigh hearing his wife's words. However, he tried to stay calm and gave advice to his wife.
"Don't tell me it's a Dek dong. Although everything needs money, but money is not everything Deck. Do not let because of money, family relationships become harmonious," Niko scolded his wife in a soft tone.
"Harmonist if all the needs are fulfilled Mas. And the way to use money. So, if there is no more money, how can it be harmonious? Udah Mas, if you go home just for a lecture and bring dirty clothes, mending you do not often need to go home Deh Mas. The return is just like Lebaran, so collect the money rather than making transportation in vain!" suhut Mila while folding both hands on the chest. And that word managed to make Niko's patience really run out. Niko, who initially intended to acknowledge his true profession, suddenly abandoned the intention because of the bitter welcome he received from his wife and in-laws. In fact, for the first time Niko gave a stern answer to Mila.
"Well Deck, if that's what you want. I won't be home before Lebaran. Hope you have no regrets about your decision!" firmly Niko as she again grabbed her bag that she had placed on the table.
"Why should I regret it? What do I have to regret? Unless you are an official or businessman with a large salary and I continue to be in vain, it is only I regret. Your people are just building porters with capital look doang, what is regretted? Do you eat a handsome doang look?" cerocos Mila shook her head at Niko's words. Mila admitted that her husband was a handsome and clean-skinned man. Very different from his profession as a building lecturer, because Niko is actually a Doctor. Only, when returning to the village, Niko's appearance was not like when she was in the Hospital. Niko only uses pants, t-shirts and a dull jacket. The appearance of her hair was not as neat when she became a Doctor, because Niko more often wears a worn hat.
Without many more words, Niko left his wife's house and was about to go to her parents' house. And after visiting for two days, Niko returned again to the city on Monday.
"Dok, today there's an impromptu operation. There are pregnant women who experience bleeding that endangers the fetus and its mother. We must take swift action to save both lives. Moreover, the pregnant woman has a history of high blood pressure," a nurse told Niko. And Niko quickly confirmed the report.
"All right, let's get everything ready. Right now I'll be heading to the operating room soon!" exclaimed Niko to the nurse and she also quickly came out of her room to help prepare the operating equipment.
Some relatives of the patients were standing in front of the operating room. And when they saw Niko's arrival, the patient's husband approached Niko while saying, "Doctor, please save my wife and child. This is our first child for eight years we've been waiting for his presence."
For a moment Niko stopped her steps, then turned to look at the man. Her face felt familiar to Niko, as did the husband of the patient. However, the two of them could not remember where they had met before.
"Okay sir, I will try my best. The rest, the result we submit to God. Help also with prayer yes," said Niko as she patted the man's shoulder gently to encourage him. Then, without waiting for any more answers from the man, Niko immediately entered the operating room.
"Mila, when did you come here? Who are you coming with?" tanya Anto, the man who is the husband of Nia, Niko's patient.
"Just come Mas Anto, I came here with the same other family by renting travel. This is Mother who came here, Mas, " replied Mila while pointing at Sari.
"Nia's in the operating room. Pray that the operation goes well, yes" pinta Anto to relatives who came crowded to the Hospital to visit his wife. After talking to Mila, Anto suddenly remembered that the face of the Doctor he had just spoken to was very similar to Mila's husband.
"Oh yes Mil, the doctor who again performed my wife's surgery his face is very similar to your husband. Her name is Doctor Niko" Anto told Mila, and Mila responded with laughter.
"Oh yeah? Is that right, Mas? Damn the doctor, cooking is it the same as building porters? The name is the same again?" mila responded as a joke.
"Yes right. If you don't believe me, just wait here until the operation is over." said Anto later. And interestingly, Mila and her mother were willing to wait at the surgery door to see the face of the person who was said to be similar to Niko.
After nearly an hour of waiting, the door of the operating room began to open. There seemed to be a nurse who came out of the room, and not long after, Niko came out accompanied by several fellow doctors and anesthesiologists.
Anto, Mila, Sari and several other relatives quickly approached Niko to ask about Nia's condition.
"How's my wife and son doing Doc? They're all safe, right, Doc?" anto asked impatiently.
The eyes of Mila and Sari are unceasingly looking at Niko's face which is said to be similar to her husband, even Mila still thinks of it as a joke.
"Let's Mom take a look, said Mas Anto The doctor looks like Niko my husband who porters the building," whispered Mila in her mother's ear with a small laugh. Then the two carefully pay attention to every movement made by Niko. However, Niko herself did not realize that in front of her there was her wife and in-laws because she was still busy removing gloves. And how shocked Mila and Sari were, when Niko raised her face and turned to Anto for an answer.
"Thank God, the operation went well. Your son and wife survived,"
The deg! Mila and Sari's heart seemed to want to escape when they heard the doctor's voice that was exactly the same as the voice of Niko Mila's husband. His face was exactly the same. At that time Niko's hair was covered in green pouches after handling the operation. What is different from Niko is only glasses that she has never used while in front of Mila.
Until then, Niko was still not aware of the presence of Mila and Sari because Niko's eyes were only on Anto. It was only when she heard Mila say her name, that Niko turned her head towards Mila.
"Mas Niko? Are you really Mas Niko? Since when did you become Doctor Mas?"
