The light of the sun this morning felt gently stroking my handsome face, since the completion of the dawn prayer I prefer to leave the house on the grounds of jogging.
Yay... At least for that reason I was able to avoid Sabina's pretended smiling face. After spending some time with Sabina, I began to get to know her habits, when she was happy, and when she pretended to be happy just to calm me down. Really, I don't like it when I see Sabina grieving like last night.
Last night, unbeknownst to Sabina, I followed her footsteps and ended up in the kitchen. I snuck around like a petty thief who was afraid of being caught by the owner of the house and ended up stealing Sabina's talk with our maid.
Reem's... I won't let you get away with it easily. My move while clenching my hands. A second later I pulled out my phone from my pocket and sent a message to the man who had irritated me for several weeks.
Let's meet up. I'll wait for you at the cafe near the hospital. We'll have lunch together. Write me in a short message.
"Doctor Araf is here? Whoa... This is really a big surprise. I didn't expect to meet you in person!" Said a woman, her face filled with a smile.
Honestly, I don't know him. So I wasn't very enthusiastic when I met him. Just like always, I will smile, the smile I am trying to force.
"It seems we don't know each other? Am I wrong?" I said in a soft tone of voice, hoping that the old woman who was suddenly sitting beside me was not offended.
"Doctor Araf doesn't know me. But this old lady knew Doctor Araf very well. Not just familiar, but very familiar."
Glekkk!
I immediately swallowed the saliva, I felt that this conversation was in vain. How does this old lady know me? As I recall, I never saw him myself, even in a dream.
"Maybe you're wrong! I myself can't remember when and where we've met." I wake up from my sitting position.
I walked slowly leaving the old woman without looking back.
"The doctor may not know me, but I'm very grateful. Because of Doctor Son's help, my grandson is fine." Said the old woman while cupping both hands in front of her chest.
"Grandma's still after me? I'm really sorry, I don't know grandma, and there's nothing I want to say!" I said as I turned to face the old woman.
The grandmother's face looked sad, ever since we met ten minutes ago until now, I have never spoken harsh words to her. If anyone sees me, they must think I'm a cruel man who could hurt a helpless old woman, but that's not true.
Unexpectedly, the old woman grabbed my arm. He touched my hand that was still wrapped in bandages.
"My grandchildren. My granddaughter did this to my doctor son, Grandma's sorry."
Instantly, my memories turned around. Given the chaos that occurred in the hospital a week ago.
"Ja-so that woman?" I asked in a nervous voice.
"I mean the woman with the twins? Is that the woman that Grandma meant?" I asked again, this time looking at the old woman seriously.
"Yes, that's right."
"The woman said she didn't have a family, was Grandma her only family?"
After finding out the Queen's twin sons were sick, her family immediately severed ties with the poor child. When the Queen is in her worst time, Doctor Son and Doctor Nak's wife are trying hard to help Grandma's great-grandchildren. Millions of thanks Grandma's set."
"Grandma doesn't have to do it." Quickly said. I was very surprised to see that old woman sitting at my feet.
Araf... You're really stupid. What are you thinking. My grunts in my heart while trying to lift up that old woman.
"Grandmother can't do it, either to me or to someone else. Grandma can only praise God, not Man." I said while holding both arms of the old woman while helping her stand up.
"The life of anyone is not in the hands of a Doctor, because the Doctor can only treat rather than cure. Grandma had to pray a lot that both of my great-grandmother's great-grandchildren survived. I promise I will try my best. And for the cost issue?
Grandma didn't have to worry about it, because the hospital would bear the cost. If that's not possible then I'm the one who'll bear everything." My words convince.
After feeling everything was under control, I smiled faintly and then left the old woman alone. I hope after this he will not feel sad anymore.

"Mas Araf sure he's going to the hospital? Mas Araf's arm hasn't healed yet, what if Mas Araf can't work for it?"
"Honey's... To a doctor like me, a hospital is like a battlefield. I don't know when a seemingly mediocre situation turns precarious and frightening." My reply while pulling Sabina into my cage.
"I was in a situation where I had to work hard to deal with hundreds of patients involved in traffic accidents.
I also worked until the morning to deal with a family who suffered serious burns due to the cruelty of its own neighbors just for revenge reasons." I said as I stroked Sabina's flat stomach.
"Whatever my job is, I won't complain. Because I want when our children are born and raised, they will see how much Papa they work hard to help others, and I want them to set me up as a role model in their lives." Say again. This time I knelt down, I kissed Sabina flat stomach, hoping that our child inside there would grow up to be a good child and could feel how much I and her Mama were looking forward to their presence as solace.
Tok.Tok-sign.Tok.
Hm!
My daydream about my conversation and Sabina this morning just collapsed after hearing the knock on the door from the outside.
"Good morning Doctor Araf!"
"Yes, morning." Reply while closing the file report on the condition of the twins who will be operated next week.
"Sorry, Doctor. This is the report the doctor requested. I mean the name of the nurse who carries the surgical scalpel in the care of her mother and her twins.
And one more thing, this is the name of the person who asked the woman to leave the hospital by force."
Two sheets of paper inscribed with the names of the people who had dared to wreak havoc in the hospital for this week had been in front of me. I stared intently at the paper on my desk, for some reason I felt annoyed. Remembering what happened a week ago made me unable to hold back my anger.
