Duren Mateng's
Chapter 36. Hate to Be Love
In the office, Alvaro sat pensively as he tapped his fingers on the table. He thought about his son's words, which were about Rania.
"Do I better stop it? What Bima said has a point as well. I chased after her just because of Bima, not because I had a taste for that woman" he murmured.
"Should I stop?" continued.
Shortly after, a knock on the door awakened Alvaro. The man looked at the assistant who had appeared from behind the door.
"What's wrong?" ask Alvaro.
"Everyone's waiting in the meeting room, sir." The assistant chimed in his words.
"What's wrong?" ask Alvaro again.
This made Jun frown. "Don't we have a meeting today?" june's mumbling is slow.
Alvaro closed his eyes, the man clicked annoyed that since he had thought about Rania's problem, he had forgotten about today's meeting.
The man immediately moved from his seat, then prepared to go to the meeting room.
Alvaro walked firmly, walked into the meeting room and occupied his chair. Jun who was already standing in front, led the way of the meeting.
Alvaro glanced at Shinta who was now next to him. The girl looked down respectfully while commenting on the smile as Alvaro looked at her.
"I don't think you need to learn any more about this, given that you've been working with Andre for a long time" Alvaro whispered.
"I still have to learn from the old man, sir. Although I have experience, but I am still a new employee here. And I still have a lot to learn, especially from Mr. June" Shinta said.
"It's good if you think that."
Alvaro notices every explanation spoken by June. Every now and then, memories of Rania reappear in her head. However, Alvaro quickly overcame it, which was looking for a flurry by checking the paper shared by June.
The meeting took fifty minutes, Alvaro also stepped out first from the meeting room to his room. The man is followed by June and also Shinta who runs right behind Alvaro.
"Is it hard?" tanya Jun who is trying to open talks on a new secretary recruited by Alvaro through a dating line.
"Not too difficult" Shinta said.
The two men head to their respective desks and Alvaro, coming into his room, continues the unresolved work.

Elsewhere, Rania appears serious about performing minor surgery, implanting her patient's teeth. Every now and then Hilda wiped Rania's sweaty forehead, looking at Rania who was very focused on doing her job.
Starting from the removal of damaged teeth, then pairing metal screws that serve as the root of the tooth that is implanted in the jaw bone,
once the bone is determined to be strong, the implant is ready to be done.
After doing all the procedures, put the healing cap on top of the implant, then the last step is to sew the gum.
"After this we get to the stage of the healing process, it usually takes months huh, ma'am." Rania talks to her patients while removing the gloves she wears.
"So next month I'm back here, Doc?" ask the woman.
"Yes, the healing time is quite long because to wait for the growth of new bone in the jaw. Then then test the implant and the last dental crown," explained Rania soft tone.
"Sama-sama," said Rania.
The patient began to leave the room. Rania opened her mask, then washed her hands.
"Mother doctor, I saw your circumference slightly blackened today. Didn't the Doctor's mom sleep all night?" ask Hilda.
"Yes, there's something that bothers me a lot" said Rania who looked a little upset.
"Is it because of a man?" hilda Fishing.
"Yes. Neighbor ...." Rania's speech stopped. The girl knew if Hilda liked Alvaro, it was impossible for her to tell Hilda what she was going through. Surely it will make Hilda hurt, because the girl likes Alvaro.
Rania glanced at Hilda who seemed to be still waiting for the girl's next remark. He cleared his throat, then took a small towel to dry his hands.
"Why not continue?" ask Hilda.
"It's okay, forget it!" timpal Rania's.
"Is it because you feel bad for me who liked your neighbor?"
The question posed by Hilda made Rania look at the nurse.
"Obsolutely usual! You don't have to feel bad for me. After all it was all over, we were met only through a blind date. If one of us doesn't feel right, it won't continue. So, don't feel bad for me" Hilda said.
Rania commented on her smile, "I'm sorry" the girl said.
"Why apologize?" asked Hilda while frowning.
"It looks like I feel the same way as you," said Rania who admitted that she had been carried away. Every time I think of Alvaro, there's something fun in him.
"Haha .. I guessed it, at first hate turned into love. I still remember what you said about him, you said that your type is not a widower, he is like a pot lid, and much more. "
Rania responded to her friend's remark with a knotty smile. What is said by Hilda is true, Rania had indeed reproached Alvaro in front of Hilda, and said that the man was not his type.
"How does it feel, Buk? Does it feel good licking your own spit?" chirps Hilda.
Spontaneous Rania also pinched the arm of the girl who was beside her. He felt angry and embarrassed by all the words uttered by Hilda. But how else, that is the reality. Rania has licked her own spit.
He used to insult Alvaro, now he is also the one who began to be infatuated by the man. Starting from worrying about Alvaro when he was not at home, even willing to stand in front of the door, while peeking at the small hole in the door just make sure whether Alvaro has gone home or not.
"Stop! You embarrassed me" said Rania.
"Hahaha .. who again fell in love with Mr. Duda, his soul mate closed the pot which turned out to be his pancake." Hilda did not stop teasing Rania, making the girl feel really embarrassed by her friend's words. He also felt sorry for telling Hilda which ultimately made Rania lose face.
Shortly thereafter, footsteps entered the clinic. Rania and Hilda set their sights on him simultaneously. Seeing the figure of the man who has a high body posture that has just entered the clinic.
Hilda greeted the man while developing a smile. Instantly the girl also set her eyes on Rania who usually always welcomes patients who want to check their teeth. However, this time the expression the woman showed was different. Rania looked with a sour face while frowning her forehead.
"Why did you come here!" ketus Rania who looked at the man with a piercing look.
