Marriage With Lecturer
Episode 28's

"Short Hai" Adrian said, making Stella snort.

"Don't call me that, at least here Mr. Boboho," Stella replied again busy cleaning her medical equipment into a medical bag. "Emm Tumben you come to me, usually you can't be separated from Doctor Dara."

"So you admit you're jealous now," adrian's seductress sits on a cage right next to Stella who is standing.

"Ck, I have it all so I don't have to be jealous of Doctor Dara, Wlee," Stella said, pulling the small bag.

"Eh Short!" Adrian pulling Stella's hand made Stella shocked. "Where's your ring?"

"Ring?" Stella scrunched her forehead confused.

"Our wedding ring, you purposely let it go yah!" accuse Adrian.

"Ck, don't just accuse. The ring was gone yesterday when I took a shower, it was probably in the water so it fell into the drain."

"You're trying to lie to me?" accuse Adrian of looking at Stella's face with a squint.

"No," Stella pulled her own hand out of fear that something might come along and would be misunderstood. "I'm not lying, the ring is real."

"We have to buy a new one, look at me still wearing it myself" said Adrian raised his hand and it made Stella blush. Somehow he was happy to hear Adrian never let go of their wedding ring even though this marriage was about to end.

"Get your hand." Adrian pulls Stella's hand making her aware of her daydream. Then Adrian seemed to take a ballpoint pen from his pocket and paint something on Stella's ring finger.

"What are you doing?"

"Be quiet" said Adrian. "Done!"

Stella saw her ring finger painted with a ring drawn with a balpoin. "For a while and don't get erased. After we get back to Jakarta, I'll buy you a new ring."

"Ta-"

"Don't argue, your status is still my wife, Short!" Adrian smiled as he rubbed Stella's head and passed away leaving Stella alone.

Stella looked at her ring finger and her heart was pounding so fast. The corner of his lips twitched into a smile without him being able to hold on anymore.

Adrian, Stella, Dara, Ivan, Sandi and Riska went to visit patients in the village next door using an ambulance.

Once there they entered a post and opened a free clinic. Slowly the patient's land began to arrive just to check himself. From being really sick, or just wanting to get checked out.

"Stella, please check on this patient," said Adrian who was berbuki Stella and examined the patient in the company of Adrian.

"What do you feel?" ask Stella.

"My stomach hurts a lot, and sometimes I have nausea and vomiting" exclaimed the 35-year-old. Stella pressed the stomach of the mother who was lying down. "What hurts?" tanya Stella pressed the belly from the navel to the right.

"Yes Doc, it hurts so much." complained the patient. Stella checked the patient's blood pressure and body temperature.

"Sir" said Stella confused to explain but Adrian asked her to say it. Adrian believes Stella will not be wrong to predict.

"Patients have appendicitis, this is severe enough and must be operated on" Stella said.

"On Operation Doc?" patient exciting.

"Calm down Mom, this isn't like most major surgeries. If it's not in surgery then you will continue to feel pain" exclaimed Stella.

"Prepare for the operation" ordered Adrian, who was taken by Stella.

"Doctor Adrian, please help me, please" said someone making Stella and Adrian look over where Dara was standing in the doorway.

"Oh well," said Adrian passed away just leaving Stella who was sculpting alone staring at Adrian's departure.

"Adrian, there are patients with quite serious heart disease" said Dara.

"Alright, let's check," said Adrian, who was inspired by Dara.

Stella brought her box of rice and chose to sit under the tree behind the shady and cool posyandu house. He kept his rice in front of his folded legs.

If he's in the clinic, he won't eat alone because there's Lenna. Here he felt no friends at all. Moreover, the koas student who was invited was only her own, while others were busy in the clinic with Dr. Dathan.

"Can you join?" asking someone made Stella turn to the source of the voice.

"Dr. Ivan?"

"I saw you eating lunch alone, I happened to be alone too. Want to eat together?" ivan asked once again because Stella had not given an answer.

"Oh yes please Doc" said Stella and Ivan sitting in front of Stella with his legs crossed.

Adrian had just come out of the exit of the house, he looked wildly clinging to and fro looking for someone with both hands who carried two rice boxes.

"Where Stella," murmured Adrian crabbing until his gaze stopped at one point. He saw Stella eating with Ivan and they seemed to laugh occasionally.

"They look very familiar" said Adrian.

"Who?" ask Dara who doesn't come from anywhere.

"It's okay" said Adrian but Dara also saw the direction of Adrian's view and realized the existence of Stella and Ivan.

"Have you eaten?" adrian's question made Dara turn his gaze from Stella Ivan towards Adrian.

"Not yet" he said with a smile.

"For you," Adrian handed over the rice box that Dara received. Dara's gaze was fixed on Adrian's ring finger, he just realized that Adrian uses a ring on his ring finger.

"What's wrong?" adrian asked to wake Dara from her daydream.

"Ah no, thank you," said Dara immediately received a rice box from her hand. And the activity was caught by Stella's view from her place.

****

Dara had just finished bathing and mirrored with her hair wrapped in a towel and put on a towel robe that covered her body.

He thought to remember the ring that was clutched on Adrian's ring finger.

"When was the ring there? Doesn't the man who wears the ring on the ring finger of his left hand mean he's married. Is Adrian really married?" mummified Dara.

"But since when and with whom?"

"Ah that's impossible! Adrian must be mine, he can't be married!" said Dara continues to refute all perceptions in his head.
