This morning the atmosphere in the health center is quite crowded because of the monthly immunization program that is routinely held every early month. Nellie as the only doctor on duty seemed troubled with a variety of work piling up. Two nurses and a midwife certainly could not help the pile of patients who came that morning, not to mention the arrangement of the queue that was not in accordance with the procedure made the atmosphere even more chaotic. The condition of the puskesmas that was not adequate after the fire event became an obstacle to immunization that day.
Nadia, who was originally going to pick up her grandmother and father at the airport with Chandra, abandoned her intentions and chose to help the health staff at the health center. At the very least, Nadia can control the patient to sit according to the queue number or help calm the children who cry there.
Nadia's arrival was welcomed by residents who came, children and toddlers also seemed to be amazed by the star aura that Nadia brought to the place. Nadia is good at changing the atmosphere, plus the girl also prepares candy and snacks favorite children just before entering the puskesmas.
Nellie stared at Nadia briefly before returning busy with her work. In her heart, Nellie feels inappropriate if she has to bother Nadia, but the jealousy in her towards Nadia makes her annoyed and unsettled every night. How could Nadia still be able to show him the trunk of her nose after he snatched Chandra from her side?!
The midwife who was close enough to Nadia also approached Nadia who was resting herself on the porch of the puskesmas. The work was done and one by one the patients returned to their homes.
"Thank you, General Ma'am has helped us here. Though, last night was dysmenorrhea, huh?"
Nadia blushed to hear the thanks from this kindly midwife.
"Ah, it's better. Thanks to Bu Midwife also who entrust wedang ginger to my husband. I drank it up, and it was very powerful" Nadia replied with a big smile.
"If you need help, call me directly. Don't hesitate, General. I'm happy with my mom's presence here, like it changes things. The kids at school also seem to be getting more upbeat when Mom comes. Parents also enjoy listening to the health lecture at the village hall if Mom explains."
Nadia blushed even more with the consecutive compliments that the midwife gave her. Sounds excessive, but very successful to make Nadia smile very wide made.
Yes, women are very happy when praised.
"Yes, Mom. I'll definitely call the Midwife if you have any emergency."
"Ah, sorry yes, General Ma'am. I can't stay long. I have to go back to the back." Midwife said goodbye after greeting Nadia for a while.
Now Nadia is back alone while waiting for news from Chandra who may have arrived at the airport and met with papa and grandmother. Nadia desperately wants to meet Nellie and confide in her friend, but Nadia is worried that Nellie's response will be as cold as the other day. Instead of having to be hurt again, Nadia chose to hold back her small desire until Nellie herself greeted him.
While daydreaming, it was Vidi who was still unstable his condition peered at Nadia from behind the window of the room where she was treated. Vidi smiled miris, as she could only see Nadia from a distance.
"Thank God, Nad. You're fine now. You don't worry, I'll get well, you don't be sad" Vidi murmured to Nadia who of course won't hear.
"Nellie ...."
Nadia called Nellie softly, a slight smile Nadia threw at the beautiful doctor with a hint of anxiety that struck her.
"Hi ...," replied Nellie with a forced smile. It was obvious that Nellie was still keeping her distance.
"Still busy?" nadia asked as she moved her feet towards Nellie.
"Yes, a little bit. Thanks, you have helped the staff here. Incidentally, you came at rush hour."
"Yes, equally. How are you doing now, Nell? It's a hundred percent good, is it?"
"Hm. I am healthy again, Nad. Oh yeah, you wait here for a second. I want to return your clothes that I borrowed."
Nadia was waiting in the lobby when the hurried-looking Nellie was now heading to the back of the health center to pick up Nadia's clothes. It didn't take long for Nellie to return, she came with a medium-sized bag of clothes she was about to return to her owner.
"This is. your clothes, and .. his jacket."
With a heavy heart, Nellie handed the Chandra-scented jacket over to Nadia. Nadia accepted it with pleasure, the girl also kissed her husband's jacket with a smile on her lips. Nellie turned her face away when both her eyes caught the scene. "Actually, I ... still need that jacket," commented Nellie flatly.
Nadia smiled a little. "Loh, you ... don't have any more jackets, Nell? Later I loan, I bring a lot of jackets from Bandung here."
"Ah, yes because of the fire, and a very annoying incident happened to me. I don't have a jacket anymore as a warm-up."
"If possible ... I want to borrow that jacket again," Nellie added with a slightly pressing expression and pleaded. Nellie also pointed at the jacket in Nadia's lap directly.
Nadia glances at the jacket in her grasp, Chandra's precious jacket, Chandra also often wears it wherever she goes, even Chandra used the jacket as a blanket for Nadia when she was going to take care of the fire. The jacket was like the amulet Chandra had placed on Nadia with all the prayers of salvation.
"Hm, I'm sorry, Nell. This is my husband's jacket, and .. I feel that my memories with this jacket are very sweet. Hm ... later, I'll lend you my new jacket."
Nellie sneered, and a slick smile on her snow-white face. "Yes, yeah,
memories...."
Though it was clear Chandra was a man who always hugged her when Nellie felt cold, when she felt insecure Chandra would take care of her, when Nellie grieved Chandra was always willing to be a backrest and spill her sigh. But now, not even the man's clothes could Nellie enjoy at all.
"Ah, no. I'm just ..Jealous with you, Nad. Lately, you have looked very happy. Even though we've been out for almost two weeks, it looks like you've been through a lot of good things, huh?"
Nadia smiled and closed her lips. "Ih, what a jealous fuck, no need. I've been having fun with Nell lately."
"Nad, do you think .. should I expect my ex-boyfriend?"
Nadia was instantly speechless as Nellie suddenly seriously shifted the subject.
"Nell ...."
"I was very lonely.I was very afraid to spend the rest of my life alone.
I can't even get on with life without the man on my side. When the fire broke out, I hoped my life would end that night. However, hope appears and then dies out. The darkness has devoured me again."
With a blank expression and a wistful look, Nellie revealed her sadness and worry to Nadia. Nadia could only stare sadly and drop a soft elusan on Nellie's shoulder. Seeing Nellie who lived with fear and regret for losing her beloved figure like this. Making someone like Nadia would certainly not bear to look at him. Nadia herself is fragile and easily shaky if faced with a situation like this.
"Nell ... actually, who is your ex-lover, that? Maybe, I can help you if I know the person ... I'll ask my husband."
Nellie smiled, the girl looked up at Nadia and was willing to name one.
"Darling ...."
The quiet baritone voice called out to one of them, but Nadia and Nellie instead compactly turned to the source of the voice. Feel called.
Chandra smiled warmly at Nadia, and extended her right hand to Nadia right in front of Nellie who instantly froze. Nellie's gaze sharpened furiously.
Nadia returned the smile, only a few hours apart the longing paid off with the presence of Chandra who seemed to have managed to pick up papa and grandma from the airport.
"Let's go home." Invite Chandra while pulling Nadia to stand up and leave the place.
Nellie closed her eyes hard, hoping she would never see the intimacy again, the indignity that made her chest hit like a painful blow.
"Papa's grandma has arrived?" nadia asked as she managed to adjust to Chandra's sudden arrival.
Chandra nodded. "Heem. They're in the car. Carrying a lot of stuff...."
Nadia laughed a little. "Well, you must be bothered with papa and grandma's stuff, let alone grandma."
"Oh yes, Ne-llie ...." Nadia looked back to say goodbye to Nellie, but it seemed like the girl had already disappeared from where they were all chatting.
"Loh, Nellienya has already gone inside," added Nadia with a slightly disappointed look.
"Yes, it's okay. Now we better get home. Poor papa with grandma, surely they need a break after a long trip."
"Ehmm. okay." Nadia displays her best smile on Chandra, though she occasionally looks back to check if Nellie is back where she sat.
Nadia is eager to find out Nellie's ex-boyfriend to the detailed story of the mysterious man. Why also Nellie had to break up with her boyfriend, even though their relationship sounded harmonious and sounded very harmonious if Nadia accumulated all the stories Nellie told him.
"What are you thinking?" ask Chandra prank.
Nadia shook her head hurriedly. "Darling, do you know her ex-boyfriend Doctor Nellie?"
"I, know."
"Ck, you know it! Later on, yes, at home?"
Chandra forced her smile, and nodded smallly at Nadia's request.
