I HATE YOU, BUT
#36
The hospital has always been a place that gives Malvin a bad aura. He does not like the smell of drugs that smell in each corner even though the room has been fitted with a rose-scented room fragrance. He wanted to feel the fresh air. Therefore Malvin tried to get off his bed and walk out his care slowly while pulling the pole where the infusion hangs.
“Auh!!” Malvin felt linu at his feet as he was about to step past the hospital lobby. He almost fell down if there was no pair of hands holding his waist.
“You all right?” the soft voice that sounded behind him made Malvin turn his head. He gasped to see the girl he had met at the party yesterday in front of him. The girl's sweet smile did not make a face of surprise mixed with Malvin's surprise disappear. Malvin's attention was now on the long white robe he was wearing and then down into the hands of the girl who was still perched on his waist.
Realizing Malvin's gaze, the girl immediately let go of his hand after believing Malvin would not fall again.
“I didn't expect we could meet here,” Malvin hasn't answered. He was still glued to the doctor's shirt he was wearing.
“You forgot me? We met at a party. My name is Yuka.” Yuka stretched out her hand back because she had not yet gotten to know him.
Instead of answering or at least shaking Yuka's hand. Malvin asked in astonishment.
“You doctor?”
“Actually can not be said so. Just a week I worked here, there's still a lot I have to learn.” He said a little whispering. Malvin was not too affected by Yuka's cheerful face as he did not have any ideas to continue their conversation. Finally he just nodded briefly and then left.
Yuka was somewhat disappointed by Malvin's indifferent attitude. That guy hasn't changed. Her thought. Because I am still curious about Malvin. Yuka approached the man again.
“How long have you been here?” yuka asked as she walked beside Malvin who stepped so slowly.
“Ten days.”
“Accident?”
“Ya.”
Yuka pursed her lips. Replied again in a clear and concise manner. If so, he could run out of talk.
“Ah, if I had worked here at that time. I will definitely help you,” Yuka meant to joke around so that Malvin would at least smile at her. But Malvin's reaction always makes him anxious. The man stopped his steps and turned to him.
“You have no patients to deal with?”
“Actually there is a.”
“Then you can go see your patients and leave me alone,”
“You can come if you don't mind,” Yuka said with a sweet smile. He turned his gaze in the other direction and pointed to a group of pediatric patients gathered near the aquarium in the hospital lobby.
“You pediatrician?” again Malvin answered with a question.
“Not really. I'm an internal medicine specialist. They are children who suffer from severe diseases. And I want to give them a little entertainment. You want to come?”
Malvin was silent for a moment. It seems like this could be a consolation for her as well. Malvin nodded later.

Alena arrived at the hospital cafeteria feeling nervous. He saw Mr and Mrs Radhian sitting on a chair near the drink counter and walked over to them.
“Good day,” Alena bent her body to pay her respects when she arrived before them.
“Sit down,” Mrs Radhian looks more friendly today. Alena was not too nervous anymore after seeing him. He sat on the empty chair in front of Mr. Radhian who was sitting straight.
“You certainly know why I invited you to speak today,” Mr. Radhian started the chat in a light voice. Alena nodded. He quietly squeezed the end of his clothes to channel his slightly quivering body.
“It's about Malvin.” Madame Radhian only showed a resigned look and said nothing.
“Malvin knows you donated your blood for him.”
Whahuh? Alena widened her eyes. He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a surprised face. Actually it was disrespectful but Alena did not know how to hide it.
“She's going to ask all sorts of questions about this and I want to ask you not to say anything if Malvin asked you because we're going to do the same,” Because Alena is still pursing her lips Mr. Radhian again said,
“This is a serious problem for us. That's why you have to promise.”
Alena felt the blood all over her body freeze. His heart was pounding and all he wanted to do was cry. His breathing shortened and he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the frustration that stifled his chest. Therefore with all her remaining strength Alena stared at Mr. Radhian intensely.
“I promise I won't say anything if you answer one questionku.” Mr. Radhian and his wife looked at each other for a moment,
“Tell me,” said Mr. Radhian allows.
“What is Malvin your biological child?”
