Protective Physician
Rissa's Promise

"How's Rissa, doc? Has there been any progress?" tanya Tari expectantly, but seeing Sam's doctor silent made her lose hope. "Dok, Abas and I heard that three bodies were found yesterday, but we couldn't see, they wouldn't allow it. Please do something to get Rissa found!"

Hearing the three corpses, Eka was whispered back. If the body is one of them is Rissa, means doctor Sam will be widowed He was tempted and felt the opportunity to have a doctor Sam. The dirty thing followed him. Imagine being able to change the position of Rissa.

"Don't. That can't be Rissa. He promised twenty thousand days. Yes, twenty thousand days will be by my side!" Doctor Sam's back in a mess. He was afraid something might happen to his wife.

Twenty thousand days? So Rissa promised she'd be by Sam's doctor's side for that long? Eka kept listening. Sometimes he has a sad face. Sam's love for the doctor has made him lose his mind.

Eka felt that she had been very yielding to Rissa. Since childhood he was often colonized but always patiently faced his roommate until one day Rissa realized his mischief and promise Eka what he had could be Eka's.

Including Sam, right?

Eka lowered her head, hiding her happy feelings and thanking Rissa while continuing to convince herself that what she was doing was not wrong. During this time Eka always brought doctor Sam in her prayers, maybe this is the answer. God gave Sam to Rissa, but because Rissa had promised to give what was hers to Eka as the redeemer of her delinquency, Rissa gave Sam to Eka, which means that actually Sam is her soul mate.

That predetermined time finally came as well. Ten days after the DNA test. A little late because there are some problems. As a result, two people matched the results, while the other one was different. It was concluded that this one person was not the family of these two.

Sam was sitting limp with tears. Likewise with Dance who was immediately hysterical even lost consciousness because she did not expect this sad life story Rissa. He was born an orphan. Falling in love with the wrong person. Then, when he finds his love, he is tested with tremendous pain. Once married, only briefly, eventually he had to leave under conditions like this.

"Dok, be patient" said Eka who immediately greeted doctor Sam. He gives her mineral water but is ignored by doctor Sam who is still in shock.

Doctor Ines, Yoga Dah Ash returns to his homeland to attend Rissa's funeral. They found the man completely destroyed. Refuse when Rissa will be buried. Even Sam stated that it wasn't Rissa.

"Sam .. It's obvious it's Rissa. All points in the ruins have been traced but there is no Rissa. There's only one body without a family. I can tell it was Rissa. We can't do anything more, not even a DNA test because Rissa doesn't have a blood relative. So don't be like this. Accept the truth, Sam!" Yoga hugged his brother.

After the funeral, Sam locked himself in his room. He no longer cares about the world. If Rissa dies, so does she. His heart and soul went with Rissa. Even Sam didn't care what his mother and sisters said.

"Sam, wakeup. Someone's coming." Kata Yoga's. "She said it's about Rissa."

Spontaneous Sam instantly woke up. He's headed for the living room. There is Eka. The girl, came to bring something in a paper bag that was proffered to Sam.

"This is Rissa's stuff. Please open." Said Eka. Doctor Sam according to. There is a photo album that looks newly taped because the glue has not perfectly dried. "That's a picture of me and Rissa. We were both so close. Real close. Growing up together because our age gap is not up to a year. Rissa is a cheerful child, always excited and easy to make people happy with her. Inversely with me. Although we loved each other, but Rissa often pricked me to the point that she finally realized that Rissa was wrong. Rissa apologized and promised not to repeat her mischief. He wanted to make up for it by giving away what was most precious to him.

Doc, at the time of the incident, a few moments before I went to the cafeteria, he said he had promised to be with the doctor for twenty thousand days. But Rissa admitted she couldn't. Maybe it's a hunch, that he's leaving. That's why he asked me to help him replace you for the next twenty thousand days because he believed I could do it because we were so close." Said Eka.

"What are you talking about?" Doctor Sam wants to be angry, he does not like to hear the confession of the woman in front of him. But there is a point that Eka said about him being so close to Rissa because Rissa had told me. And about those twenty thousand days, why should Rissa ask Eka? This is Rissa's promise to her, it should be Rissa who fulfilled that promise, not bestowing it on someone else. Unaccepting, Sam's doctor shook his head, saying he returned to the room.

"I'm sorry for my stupidity, doc. Excuse me. But I kept thinking about Rissa's words. In fact I always dreamed about the same thing in order for me to fulfill his request. From the beginning I ignored but continued to be burdened until I finally decided to say this to the doctor. It's all for Rissa's sake, for her to calm down. I have no choice, Doc. I ...." Eka crying. "sorry. If time can be turned, let me go because honestly, this trust is too heavy."

"Sorry Ka, you better go home. I want a break!" Sam's doctor passed to his room, leaving Eka crying on the sofa.

Doctor Ines comes out after eavesdropping on Sam and his guests. He gives Tissu and drinks to calm Eka. Doctor Ines is also confused by this problem. If indeed Rissa said it means Rissa wants Sam to marry the girl in front of her.

"I'm sorry Auntie, sorry if I was presumptuous. I am haunted by this burden of trust. I shouldn't have asked Rissa not to get carried away with this." Eka. "From the beginning I kept dreaming about Rissa, I was scared and felt guilty. I ...." Eka crying.

"Here you go, don't cry. I'll have the driver take you. Now go home first, we'll talk again after Sam calms down." Doctor Ines escorts Eka to the car.
