Raymond's panic at seeing Velicia pass out made him forget about his job.
He received a call from the school asking for his whereabouts.
"Sorry sir, I was in the hospital helping a person who had fainted on the street when I left. I'm so sorry sir, I forgot to tell you" Raymond told the man who called him.
Lalu, apa Pak Raymond akan datang ke sekolah sekarang? tanya orang yang ada di seberang melalui telepon.
"Sorry sir, can I get permission today? The problem that fainted turned out to be my friend," said Raymond hesitated in a condescending tone.
Alright Sir. Can you give them a task so that there are no empty hours? ask the man back to Raymond.
"Good Sir. I'll send you the task in a minute. Again I am sorry, sir. And thank you for allowing me" said Raymond, who felt very guilty for being negligent in his work.
Raymond immediately sent the task given to his students to the school officials. After that he took care of the room move Velicia.
Inside the treatment room, after a while Velicia's eyes blinked, adjusting the light rays that entered the retina of her eyes.
Raymond waited for Velicia to sit on the seat next to him. When he saw Velicia's eyes open, he was very happy and he immediately approached her.
"Ve, are you conscious? Is anyone sick?" asked Raymond who looked very anxious to Velicia.
With that pale face of hers Velicia smiled faintly at Raymond while saying,
"Where am I?"
"You're in the clinic at the time. In a moment Ve, I'll call the doctor first" Raymond said as he went to call the doctor.
As Raymond was about to open the door of the room, his steps came to a halt as it was stopped by Velicia.
"Ray," Velicia called out to Raymond in her weak voice.
Raymond looked back where Velicia was.
"thank you. Again you helped me Ray," Velicia said weakly and softly.
"No need to bother Ve. I just happened to pass by there. And maybe even for the previous days I also happened to cross that path" Raymond said, chuckling.
"A very precise coincidence, Ray," said Velicia with a faint smile adorning her pale face.
"That's right," said Raymond, chuckling.
"Before Ve, I'll call the doctor who handled you. Don't move too much. And if you're going anywhere, you better ask for my help" Raymond said before leaving the room.
Velicia nodded and she closed her eyes that were still a little sleepy.
After a while, Raymond entered the room with a doctor and nurse.
The doctor checked Velicia's current state. Then he informed her of the results of the examination and the results of some tests that were done earlier when Velicia had not yet regained consciousness.
"As I thought. The patient had consumed something that made his stomach disease worse" the doctor said, reading the results of Velicia's medical report.
Velicia recalled what she had eaten or she had drunk this morning before she left for work.
Suddenly his eyes widened to remember if this morning he took herbal medicine brought by his mother-in-law.
"Emmm actually this morning the food I ate was almost the same as usual doc. It's just that, last night before I went to bed and this morning after I had breakfast, I was taking herbal medicine" Velicia said, recalling each incident last night and this morning.
The doctor breathed heavily. Then he said,
"It seems that herbal medicine that makes the stomach disease of the mother more sick. For the future I think Mother must be careful because of the history of the disease Mother who can not just fatigue and now Mother must be clever to choose foods that can be accepted by the stomach Mother," the doctor explained to Velicia.
Velicia sighed heavily, then she said,
"But Mom will be angry Doc. He bought the herbal medicine at a high price and said he could make a quick pregnancy," said Velicia lirih lamenting her fate.
The doctor and Raymond were shocked to hear the story of Velicia. Raymond longed to ask to know all the burden of Velicia's heart, unfortunately undone because it was not the right time he thought if he asked her now.
"Sorry Mom, sir, don't you have any children yet? And how long has it been to try to take herbal remedies that can make your stomach threatened?" the doctor asked curious.
"Sorry sir, we are not husband and wife. And he's my friend. Surprisingly he was always the one who found me in a sick state on the road and he was also the one who always ushered me in coming here in different situations," velicia said with a faint smile considering her desire for her husband to be someone who always helped her.
It would seem that the doctor was shocked to hear it. Starting from the beginning Raymond drove Velicia a few days ago to the clinic, doctors and nurses thought they were a newly married couple.
And now they know that Velicia and Raymond are just regular friends.
"Sorry Mom, I'd like to ask. How long has she been married so your mother orders you to take the herbal medicine every day?" ask the doctor who is curious about the patient's case.
"Emmm.. that's. I..," Velicia refused to tell anyone about her household.
"I'm sorry if I asked. I'm just trying to help Mom and Mom. Because it just so happens that my wife is an obstetrician. So maybe it can help give a solution to Mom and Mom's husband," said the doctor back while cupping his palms in front of his chest.
"Emmm.. actually I have often checked and consulted the doc, only until now we have not been able to have children" said Velicia with tears that slightly dripped.
"Everything is by His power. But we have to keep trying. Who knows you'll find out the truth when you check yourself out with Anggun's doctor, my wife," the doctor explained to Velicia.
"Alright doc, I'll try later," Velicia said with a faint smile.
"Alright, for now just take the medicine. I will check again at the next hour of the visit" the doctor said in response to a speech from Velicia.
Then the doctor came out of the room after getting a nod from Velicia.
"You're married, aren't you?" asked Raymond with a forced smile.
"It's a long story, Ray. I'll tell you a story at any time" Velicia said, trying to buy time.
"It looks like you're married to Ray, too" Velicia said as she watched the wedding ring with a smile of Raymond and his wife's happiness.
