Ode To Latitude
Want Me to Friends?

"Doctor Regata" called Doctor Genta shifted Regata's focus from the ongoing badminton match at one of the sports-specific international stations.

Regata immediately went to Genta's doctor's office.

"Please give the prescription to Fahmi" said Dr. Genta handed the prescription sheet to Regata.

"Mother please wait outside while the prescription is made" Genta told his patients.

Regata headed for the room where Fahmi's pharmacist was located, he was busy grinding medicine for a toddler patient who had just had surgery two days ago.

"Welcome to join the doc" said Fahmi for the umpteenth time. 

Regata could only laugh. The man he had only known yesterday, immediately told him all the activities in the clinic as if they were old friends who had just met.

Fahmi's friendly and friendly attitude saves Regata from his awkward attitude towards Genta. 

Since the conversation in the operating room, Genta has been much more friendly to Regata. Genta tolerates Regata's mistakes on the grounds that Regata still needs a lot to learn. 

Genta even paid half of Regata's salary in advance because Regata felt responsible and did not run away from his job just like that. Regata also got other facilities, namely morning service in the hospital thanks to the lobby of Genta doctors.

Regata did not dismiss when Jenar subtly insinuated that Genta doctors perform KKN until other doctors get affected by more maintenance schedules at night and during the day.

Jenar Regata's insinuations are considered a joke of fellow friends despite 100% of the facts. Regata chose not to bother with the talk of his colleagues. Currently he is in need of additional money to support the life and needs of his son. Let's just say that the sustenance he gets is a gift because it is often the victim of the anger of Doctor Genta.

Fahmi has finished packaging the prescription along with the drug etiquette. He called one by one the patient and his family, explaining the prescription given by Genta.

Doctor Genta Clinic is a fairly crowded clinic. Open from five in the afternoon to nine in the evening. There are only two employees working for Genta doctors, Regata and Fahmi. Automatic workload they both increase because of that Genta doctor offers a high salary.

"Like a badminton doc?" asked Fahmi when the patient was quiet. 

Regata is waiting for Lintang's turn to play in the round of 16. There are still two more games before the Latitude turn.

Fahmi was forced to watch the badminton game because it seems Regata is focused and does not want to be disturbed.

"Well this player ranks one world mixed doubles sector from China" 

The heavy voice commenting on the match made Fahmi and Regata look at each other.

"Who's your hero Re?" ask Genta.

Regata frowned. He has a new greeting, Re, from Doctor Genta. A strange greeting in his ear.

"I'm a docking champion jagoin" Regata said still with a frown.

"Well, who watches badminton but doesn't have a favorite player?" ask Genta in disbelief.

"All Indonesian players dok" said Regata.

Doctor Genta laughed. He joins Fahmi and Regata busy commenting on the technique of the game.

Regata realizes the strange attitude of Doctor Genta. The clapper becomes more calm, patient, smiles a lot and talks a lot. The other side of Genta that Regata does not know. There was an uncomfortable feeling of gnawing at his heart as Genta sat beside him.

No clock shows at nine o'clock. Today with fewer than 20 patients, they are preparing to go home. There is a sense of unwillingness to leave the television, because Regata decided to unsubscribe from cable television and the internet in order to cut his monthly expenses.

"Do you want me to watch it?" tanya Genta makes Regata reflex to get up from his chair and immediately prepare to close the clinic and go home.
