Knights For Mundika
2

"What's the matter with you today Doctor Mundika?" After an important morning meeting that was quite horrendous because of the actions of the girl before him, Hakeem finally asked Mundika to face him in his room. He felt bad for Mansoor bin Maktoum because today is the day of his inauguration as the hospital in charge of his brother, Ahmed bin Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai. "If it's like this how can you save someone else's life?"

"I'm sorry, Chief Doctor, I admit this ignorance is my fault entirely," Mundika who is also confused why the error rate himself today is quite severe can only be resignedly scolded by Hakeem. It's been two days in a row that he can make mistakes and always get in touch with a man he never thought was one of the children of the Emir of Dubai. Even the man will be in charge of the largest hospital complex in Dubai. He should be able to kill his ego by apologizing for his actions and ridiculous attitude he had done to the man. Not because he was afraid of losing his job here but because he did not want his family name to be polluted. "I will approach him and apologize for my discourtesy..."

Mundika resigned from Hakeem's room after being informed that Mansoor is currently at *S Coffee Cafe* which is in the hospital. He immediately stepped his foot towards the place. Moreover, it does require the intake of concoction of coffee beans and milk to make it more energetic and concentrated. He actually does not like pure coffee, but if mixed with milk and a little sugar and a touch of magic from the hands of the barista it will be the perfect blend for him.

Mansoor walked quickly with three team members who always accompanied him. He entered *S Coffee Cafe* to order his favorite coffee, a cappucino. After his order came, he chose to sit in a corner where he could see people passing by while remembering the events in the meeting room earlier. Whether it was a disaster or a gift, he could meet the girl again. Seeing the girl's expression, he laughed. Apparently their meeting yesterday was just a misunderstanding. And the funny thing is, the girl did another silly thing by being caught by the Chief Doctor in the hospital was daydreaming at the time of the handover of hospital responsibility to him. While he was enjoying his coffee, suddenly there was a slight commotion between his team members who were trying to hold back someone who was about to approach him. He understands that his safety and security are very important so that not carelessly people can be close to him or approach him.

"Let him come to me, Badr," Mansoor said.

*"But Sheikh*..," Badr, one of his guards still slightly objected considering that a few months ago there were quite aggressive fans approaching the master.

"It's okay" Mansoor said with a faint smile.

"Thank you for the wisdom of Sheikh Mansoor," Mundika lowered her body. "I'm sorry to interrupt your time..."

Hey, this girl again? What the hell is going on? It was like he had hit the jackpot meeting him so many times. Mansoor smiled inwardly. This is definitely not a coincidence...

"Please sit down," Mansoor who noticed Mundika did not sit down finally invited the girl to sit in front of him.

"Thank you, but sorry allow me to drink my drink for a moment," Mundika immediately vertical *caramel macchiato ice* size venti order. He needs full awareness because he does not want this time to cause problems that will make him more protracted dealing with one of the Emir's children where he lives. Without realizing it, Mansoor continued to pay attention to his movements.

"Hows it? Have I been able to listen to the reason why you deliberately approached me here?"

"I would like to apologize for my insolence" Mundika again subdued herself before Mansoor. "The first thing I've stepped on your foot because I'm upset that you thought you were about to kill yourself when all I did was self-soothing therapy, the second is because I ignore you who were making a speech in the meeting room with daydreaming, that's why I also drank my coffee first for fear of speaking impolitely or acting silly again in front of you Sheikh..."

"Will the Sheikh forgive me?" Ask Mundika expectantly. Come, Great Lord, please forgive me. I do not want to make any bigger problems.., yes.., yes.., please. Don't let this matter be heard by his extended family. He could not imagine what would happen to his mother who had the weakest position in her extended family.

"What's your name? Muns...Mundi..," Mansoor tried to remember the girl's name. His name is a little hard to spell by his tongue and sounds unfamiliar in his ears.

"Mundika bint Dalmouk, Sheikh." replied Mundika. "I'm a doctor who works here."

"Dalmouk's? Do you know Dalmouk Al Hassimi?"

"Does Sheikh Mansoor know Baba?" Oh no, does he have to beg the man before him not to involve his father?

"I just found out that Mr. Dalmouk has a girl named quite unique like you?" Mansoor began to ask Mundika more deeply. The face of this girl has its own beauty, a blend of Arabic and East Asian. And the more he looked at Mundika, the more he was swept away to keep staring at the owner of the name.

"I am her son from..," Mundika felt her neck choked every time she revealed her true identity. "His second wife is from Indonesia...," His eyes turned pushy as if he had just swallowed a large enough circle of rocks but was trying to cover it with his flagship smile that always managed to hide his true feelings.

"Ooo.so..," Mansoor nodded his head. It is fitting that this girl's name reminds her a little about Indonesia, a country with a piece of paradise with abundant natural wealth and exotic beaches that she can not in any part of the country so far. "Well, I forgive you for respecting your parents. I hope you can replace it by working more professionally."

"Thank you*Sheikh*, at his discretion," Mundika lowered her head and then stood up to say goodbye, an attitude she had never met in her life or perhaps she had found but no matter what country. "Then I say goodbye, because it's time to get back to work..."

"Go away..," Mansoor gave a thin smile to his mainstay and let Mundika pass from before him.

"Finally glad too!" Shouted Mundika while raising both hands up and walking out of the cafe. This did not escape the view of Mansoor who could only shake his head. What surprises will he get as long as he becomes the new in charge of this hospital?

Mansoor is back to enjoying his delayed coffee. His brain seemed to be thinking of planning something unreadable by his guards. Something that might shake his family a little.
