Chapters 37. Andre's Emergence
"Why did you come here!" ketus Rania who looked at the man with a piercing look.
Hilda who was there was a little confused when she watched Rania speak harshly to the man.
"Hey! What's wrong with you?" hilda asked a little whisper.
Rania ignored the question from Hilda, the girl chose to leave and not serve the man. While Hilda, she could only smile clumsily at the man who had just come.
"I'm sorry about my friend's attitude" Hilda said.
"It's okay, I can understand it,"tipal the man.
"Then, excuse me" he continued, who then chose to leave the place.
Hilda simply nodded while commenting on her smile. The girl did not understand the attitude shown by Rania towards one of her patients.
Hilda met Rania who was in her room. The girl was staring out the window. Remembering pieces of the past that have happened. Even now, Rania still feels heartache when she sees a man who is part of her bitter past.The betrayal made by the man seems unforgivable by him. Upon realizing that Hilda was approaching him, Rania quickly wiped away her tears.
"What's wrong?" hilda frowned, looking at the trace of tears on Rania's face.
"It's okay" said Rania.
"Why are you acting like that to one of the patients?" ask Hilda.
"Do you think he's a patient? He was a chief at a top hospital. If indeed he wants to do an examination, he can find the best dentist in his hospital without having to come to this small clinic," said Rania who raised her voice slightly.
"Lantas, if he's not here to check his teeth, is he here to see you?" chirps Hilda.
"Eitherway! Stop talking about that guy. I also ask you not to accept him as a patient" Rania said.
"Ran, don't include your personal interests. You are a doctor, your hands are assigned to heal those who are sick. If you choose to heal someone like this, are you worthy of being called a doctor?"
Hearing Hilda's words, instantly made Rania aware. As a doctor, he should not have to choose a patient that he deserves or not to handle. It should also not be carried away in his mood even though the person is the person he hates.
"I'm sorry" said Rania.
Hilda took a few steps forward, then hugged her friend's body. "I'm sorry if I was a little harsh, at least you remembered your vows as a doctor. I'm talking like this because I don't just think of you as a co-worker, you're my friend and my job is to remind you when you make a mistake" Hilda said gently, rubbing Rania's back.
"Thank you .. thank you for reminding me" said Rania.

It was getting dark, Alvaro was preparing to return home. The man walked out, looking at Shinta who was still standing in front while waiting for a passing taxi.
"You just got home?" alvaro asked, suddenly making Shinta surprised because he did not realize the existence of his superiors behind him.
"Ah yes, Sir. I just finished some work" Shinta said as she stroked her chest in shock.
"I'm sorry if I surprised you" Alvaro said.
"It's okay, sir. I was indeed the one who was easily surprised," Shinta replied.
Since working in this place, and the rejection given by Alvaro, makes the girl no longer brave towards the man. Especially considering Alvaro is currently his boss, making Shinta more respectful to Alvaro and do not want to throw tantrums if he does not want to lose his job.
"An invitation?" ask Alvaro.
"No, Sir. I took a taxi" Shinta replied.
"Then come in! I'll take you home" Alvaro bargained.
Alvaro shook his head chiming in on his secretary's words. Shinta followed her superior's footsteps, getting into the man's car. Alvaro drove his vehicle into the street.
"You don't usually use formal language on me when you're out of the office" Alvaro said.
"That's because Mr. Alvaro is now my boss. I don't want to be fired for being rude to you" Shinta said.
"Does Mr Alvaro want me back to flirt?" bargain Shinta while twisting her eyes mischievously.
"No! I don't like it! I'd rather have another girl tease me!" Alvaro unconsciously said so. Shinta who heard it also immediately commented a smile while giving a probing look.
"I became curious about the girl intended by Mr. Alvaro, it was natural that I was rejected, it turns out that Mr. Alvaro already has another dream girl," said Shinta crossed her arms and slightly pursed her lips.
"It's good if you throw away your curiosity. Otherwise, I'll cut your salary by fifty percent" Alvaro warned his secretary.
"Don't dong Pak, only two days' work has been cut in half" said Shinta with a clear look.
"That's a warning to you" said Alvaro.
"All right."
Alvaro refocused his gaze towards the straight streets. Carrying the vehicle at moderate speed.
Twenty minutes later, the man's car arrived in front of Shinta's house. The secretary also removed her seatbelt.
"Thank you for the ride, sir."
" Hmmm ... same," Alvaro said.
After making sure Shinta got out of the car, Alvaro then drove the four-wheeled vehicle back to the main house, to pick up Bima.
Shinta waved her hand, waiting for her boss' car to completely disappear from her sight. The girl stepped towards her house, closed the iron fence and walked right in front of the door.
Shinta was about to open the door, but she felt something suspicious. From the glass window, Shinta can see. Someone was trying to get close to him from behind.
Shinta immediately turned around, looking at a man she knew, who was looking at her with a look that was unsettling.
"P-sir Andre, ..." The girl stammered. He was afraid of Andre's facial expression as if he was about to swallow him alive.
"Why ... why did you tell Alvaro everything? You realize, you've ruined my life in a matter of seconds!" indignant Andre who began to appear after a long time hiding behind the darkness.
"I ...."
"Have you peddled a body for that man until your mouth cannot silence my secret!" andre is getting closer. Shinta is inching backwards. Until the woman's body hits the wall, it can't move anywhere else.
Shinta's sweat began to pour on her forehead. His fear grew more domineering, while his hands looked for something to defend if Andre was reckless.
"You know .. I hired you long enough because you know all my secrets! Actually it's been a while since I wanted to kick you out of the company. And now, you have dared to use this mouth of yours to tell my brother-in-law everything!" said Andre who immediately gripped Shinta's jaw firmly.
Shinta managed to grab the pen inside her bag, quickly the girl thrust the pen into Andre's arm firmly making the man weaken and grimace in pain.
Andre held Shinta's foot that was about to run, Shinta quickly hit Andre's head with the heels, causing a loud voice.
Without using footwear, Shinta ran away from her house. He tried to save himself. When the distance was far enough, Shinta reached into the phone in her bag. He tried to contact one of the contacts and put the flat object into one of his ears.
"P-sir, Mr. Alvaro, help me. Mr. Andre ... Mr. Andre came up to me and tried to hurt me" Shinta stammered, occasionally looking back, and running back to a safer place.
