Heart of a Handsome Doctor
Chapters 172. Opting to Go

...Hearts, we can't guess...

...Even if you try to touch it...

......***......

Rion and Shelo eat at a tent stall selling fried rice and his friends. Shelo doesn't seem to have a problem with all the simple things.

In the past, Rion had thought that Shelo was a spoiled child and not independent because he was raised with the luxury of both parents. But what he saw now made Rion change his thinking about Shelo.

"I don't think rich girls like you are used to roadside food like this" Rion said honestly.

Shelo laughing. "So, why don't you take me to a fancy restaurant? Why did you bring me here?"

Shelo's question made Rion flinch. He answered again with something interesting.

"Why don't you just reject it? You can name one of the fine restaurants in town and I'll take you there. You said yourself that you didn't have a problem with roadside food" Rion said.

Shelo stopped eating. He looked at Rion who was sitting in front of him with a piercing look.

"I know what you want to talk about! Brother must want to talk about our matchmaking, right? But this is not how it works!"

Shelo sighed before continuing his sentence.

"I still can't accept this match. But, I'm trying to appreciate the decision of both of our parents. I'm trying to get to know my brother and accept all my destiny. But, if big brother doesn't try to understand me, then all this can't go on. Is sister still overshadowed by brother's past? If so, just tell aunt Marinka straight away and don't give hope to each of our parents."

Rion was speechless with all of Shelo's words. He did not think that the 17-year-old girl was very mature.

Shelo moved from his seat because Rion did not answer. He walked down the sidewalk alone in annoyance.

"How can any man think so petty? Did he not think at all about how I felt? Basic selfish!" Shelo muttered with a stomp of his feet annoyed.

"Shelo!" A voice did not stop Shelo.

"Shelo, I'm sorry!" Rion's blocking Shelo's hand.

Shelo looked at Rion puffed up.

"At least allow me to drive you home. I promised your parents I'd bring you home safely" Rion said.

"Alright," Shelo replied resignedly. At this time he can not behave arbitrarily because there is a parent's heart that he must take care of.

......***......

One week later,

In a hamlet that was far from the outer reach and covered in mist, a man was sitting by himself while looking at the sky. The earthy sound of the night beast became his constant companion this one week.

Not long after another man approached the man sitting earlier. The man patted his friend's shoulder gently.

"If you come here just to sit by yourself all the time, then you better go back home!" firmly the man.

"Ish, you! You've been here for years and you didn't tell me!" the other man won't lose.

"Listen, Rion! You left the house just to avoid your match with Shelo, didn't you?" The man nodded slowly.

"Already, Boy. At least we did the same thing, we both ran away from home as an impingement!"

The man who was none other than Boy hit Rion with a sofa pillow.

"Don't joke! I've been planning this long before it all happened. It's night, you better get some sleep. Come with me tomorrow to the hospital. I need you there."

...The morning wracks the struggling souls...

...There's no harm in us leaving...

...Just to calm the heart, though,...

Rion walks lazily to a place that Boy mentioned last night. A hospital? Rion does not understand why Boy chose to build a hospital in a remote hamlet that is still part of the village of Blanket.

Some time ago, Rion met with Choky to find out what really happened with Boy. Choky said that Boy had planned to build a mother and child hospital project in this remote hamlet since three years ago.

Rion did not expect that Boy and Aleya's relationship ended just like that because of their respective egos. Rion shook his head slowly and continued his steps.

Rion was stunned when he saw the sign attached in front of the hospital courtyard.

"Mom and son hospital 'Aleya'?" mumbling Rion.

Rion sighed. "It turns out Boy still remembered him to give the name of this hospital with the name Aleya."

Rion entered a hospital that was quite crowded because many residents would check his health condition. Boy invited several general practitioners to stand guard at IGD as well as several nurses who were willing to work in remote areas.

"Doctor Rion!" call someone who is a boy.

Rion rolled his eyes lazily. Boy approached Rion who was still standing.

"Patients of children in the hamlet quite a lot. I hope you can help me until I find a pediatrician willing to work here" Boy said, patting Rion's shoulder gently.

"Yes yes, alright," replied Rion lazily.

"Don't do that. Let's just say you're spilling your impingement by devoting yourself to this hospital" Boy advised.

"You yourself how? Did you find what you were looking for? You even left everything to live here."

Boy speechless. "You're right. I left everything just because of my ego."

"What about Aurel?"

"He used to visit me here."

"Good!"

Then they both fell silent.

"Doctor Boy! There's a patient going into labor" said a nurse approaching Boy and Rion.

"Okay, I'll be there soon. Rion, prepare! We've made up our minds for our lives, so walk with all your heart!" Boy again patted Rion on the shoulder and passed.

Rion circulated a look around the beautiful looking hospital. He smiled then looked for a check room for a poly kid.

......***......

Marinka lies weakly in bed after reading the letter Rion left for her. He did not expect that his youngest son would prefer to go quietly rather than talk well with him.

Since Rion's departure, Marinka's body condition has also begun to weaken. His mood that had been flowery was now withered. He and Maliq also apologized to Julian's family because their son had messed up the arranged marriage.

Maliq faithfully accompanied the weakly lying Marinka.

"Don't think about anything else, just think about your health, Mom. I promise to look for Rion to the end of the world" Maliq said, kissing the back of his wife's hand.

"Thank you, Dad. Please don't be too hard on him. I'm the one who made him leave. She must be feeling depressed because I forced her to accept this match."

"Here you go, I don't think about anything first. I'd better take a break." Maliq kissed the top of Marinka's head and then exited the room.

Maliq met Dion who was waiting in front of the room.

"How's Mom doing?" ask Dion.

"Your mother needs a break. Just leave him alone first. Then what about your search?"

"Rion is in the hamlet of Kabut which is still within the village area of Selimut. He's with Boy there."

"Huh! That boy! He could have run away a second time!" growled Maliq.

"Dad just calm down! I'll get him back home. Enough of all the tears I shed for her!" sahut Dion with a clenched hand.

...B E R S A M B U N G...

*Thank you to those of you who have supported this one little dime. I'm planning this novel to end soon. Is there anyone who doesn't want to be if they're done? 😬😬
