So In Love
EP. 4. Worm

********

This afternoon, Sky was in the middle of the hassles of handling a three-year-old patient who complained of stomach pain. Always like this, the practice room of Heaven was never quiet every day. The sound of children's cries was like jazz music to him that he used to hear every day.

“Wahh, Jackson today came with baby shark.” Speak the sky as warmly as possible to a boy named Jackson with a baby shark doll in his arms.

“Let's see, what's in your mouth is a baby shark, aaaa .. .” The sky opened its own mouth to instruct Jackson to follow. However, instead of following, Jackson cried loudly in fear.

“Oh my God.” The sky slightly jerked and automatically distanced his body.

“Honey, don't cry. The doctor just wanted to check, let his stomach ache disappear.” The mother holding Jackson tried to calm down while rubbing the child's stomach.

“Uh .uh, it's a pity, don't cry.” The sky that saw it only put on a byingung face while scratching his nape that did not itch. He was quite confused to face a child who was crying roared like this.

Sizzling, for a moment the mother thought to persuade her child not to cry anymore. “If you continue to cry, the doctor will give you a big injection while saying you are a bad boy. Isn't that right, Doctor?” The sky nodded, following the charade that Mother Jackson had made.

“Bad kid! Injections are there where, huh?” The sky then rolled his eyes ignorant.

“Suster, a very large injection for Jackson where is it?” The nurse assistant who always accompanied Sky could only hold back her laughter as she was involved in this childish charade.

Squeezing his eyes at Jackson, Sky then turned around and took a shot of a sizable toy.

“Jackson, shuut. See, his doctor brought in an injection.” And Jackson's cries instantly came to a halt as he saw Sky turn around with a big toy injection in his hand. Similarly, the face of Heaven made a little creepy, but still adorable.

“Huwaaaaa .., hiks . . . . hiks ..” Just now the sky and everyone who was there were about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Jackson instead cried even louder.

“Eung . ., briefly. I have a lot of snacks for Jackson here.” The sky became wrong because it scared people's children. Then with a wave he looked for a snack that he deliberately prepared to deal with situations like this from inside his drawer.

“Uh .uh, dear. You're not naughty, though. Her naughty doctor.” The mother calmed her son back. The sky that heard that just snorted. Mothers are inconsistent.

“Doctor is really naughty, handsome boy Mama so scared until nagis kayak gini.” Continue Jackson's Mother.

“Shuuut, don't nag anymore. Let mama hit her doctor.” The movement of the Sky hand that was looking for a suitable snack instantly came to a halt upon hearing that.

“Hit.” Jackson's mother violently struck Sky's shoulder arm. The nurse who saw him only held back a laugh while covering his mouth.

“Well, Mama's already legal naughty doctor.” And Jackson stopped crying right then and there.

“Doctor, why are you scaring my son? Jackson is a good boy.” The sky did not realize, he just looked at the mother with a gawking view while rubbing his arm that was hit earlier.

“Doctor, you won't scare Jackson anymore, will you?”

“Yes, Doctor?” Jackson's mother gestured for a blink of an eye for Heaven to answer.

The sky that catches the mother's signal then laughs forced, before then he said. “Pardon doctor, yes, Jackson.” The sky was filled with emphasis.

“I'll give you a snack, not an injection.” The sky then brandished the oatbits biscuits towards Jackson, then handed him over.

“Eat after recover later, okay?” The sky blinked one eye while gently stroking Jackson's head. The boy just nodded while receiving the snack.

The sky rubbed his face while breathing a sigh of relief as the boy was not fussy and did not refuse any more for him to check.

As he examined Jackson, he did not stop grumbling in his heart. If you know Jackson will easily melt with just one packet of snacks, why did he also have to play the drama injecting everything until he had to be hit? Ck, suck.

“There's more?” Sky asked the nurse shortly after Jackson and his mother left his room.

“Jackson the last.” The nurse named Mia answered. “Don't forget two o'clock in the afternoon there is operation.” Mia continued to remind.

“OK. Then I go to the coffee shop for a while.” The sky stretched his stiff muscles for a moment, and then he got up from his seat.

“Self?” Asked Mia, making Sky have to turn towards her with a slightly wrinkled forehead in wonder.

“Yes!” Answer Sky briefly. “I'm not invited?” Ask Mia later.

“Lain times, I'll invite you to another.” Mia who heard Sky's reply only snorted. It's always like that. In fact, he hoped Sky would take him alone, not with his other team.

“Doctors often jump Hana from the heart surgery section eat or hangout both. Why don't you ever take me like that?” Protests Mia with cute frowning face. He was quite envious to see the closeness of Heaven with Hana. In fact, the one who spends more time with the sky is himself. Mia is a nursing assistant who works with Sky every day.

“Do you guys have an affair?” Tanya Mia rolled her eyes meaningfully while fusing her two index fingers together.

“Do not ngaco.” The cry of Heaven did not accept while wiping Mia's face full of anxiety. He then passed to exit his practice room, leaving Mia stunned as Heaven had just touched her face.

“Heaven't touched my face? Aaaakh.” Mia screams so excited. It's like a dream. Even in her dreams, Mia only ever wished for Heaven to touch her hand.

The sky came down from the elevator right in the hospital lobby. His eyebrows instantly intertwined when he saw his best friend Blue and Orange standing at the threshold of the main entrance.

“Ngapain they're fussing over there? I don't think there's anywhere else.” Sky Mumbles while continuing to step foot to approach Blue and Orange.

“Why are you standing here? Ngalangin road aja.” He nodded as he approached his two best friends.

“So statue welcome.” Endless orange, making the Sky frown confused because the Orange just went from before him. It seemed that the girl was being annoyed, visible from the look of her bent face.

“Why?” Ask Sky turned his attention to Blue. However, the one being asked did not even heed it. As with the orange, the man also just passed away leaving him.

“Ji, wait . . .” Blue just left the sky. Obviously this made him very upset, not once twice did the couple ignore him like this.

“Awas aja them if ask for help with me later.” The sky grumbled irritated at times with the look of a face bent sour.

“Wow! Perfects. Suitable for me.” Hearing someone speak, the sky turned to the source of the voice. Because since then his attention was only on Blue and Orange, he did not realize that there was someone else there. A girl wearing a neck brace smiled broadly at him. Shannas. The little girl Blue thinks is crazy for always teasing her.

“You single? Have girlfriends? Or wife?” The sky widened his eyes when he realized who the girl before him was right now.

“Ahh, I don't care. Obviously, I like you now. Let's get closer.” The sky was still unmoved even as the girl extended her hand. He was stunned because he was reunited with this face, a face that lately always disturbed his mind after some time ago ignored him at their first meeting.

“You . . .” The sky pointed at the girl's face after a while of silence.

The sky clearly remembered this face, yet it strangely looked different. The face he had seen a while ago was as pale as snow, but the one he saw was currently as bright as a flower in spring.

Not just that. Her hair. What's with the hair now? It used to be that this girl's hair looked short with a piece of layering a boat. But now, his hair looked long and very strange. Her hair was dyed like a colorful lollipop.

“Why? I'm beautiful? Haha, no one can resist the charm of Shanna, except the dry kanebo doctor earlier.” The girl who called herself Shanna then grabbed her hair like a shampoo advertising model carefully because she still had to keep her neck sore.

The sky that saw him was astonished, could someone just change in the near future? Is this girl a double personality? Obviously, this girl did not seem interested in him at all.

“Wait a minute . . .” The sky paid no heed to Shanna's confident words. Then hesitantly, Heaven stretched out her hand, clasped a pinch of Shanna's hair, then pulled it with a slightly firm pull.

“Aaaawww . . .” Shanna squealed as Heaven suddenly pulled her hair, her sore neck now getting sicker from the pull of hair on her head. Yeah, Heaven pulled Shanna's hair to make sure it was fake hair or not.

“My Neck . . .” Shanna continued to scream in pain while holding her neck which was now getting sicker. “Let go of me.” Shanna thrashed, he beat up the arm of Heaven that he was still able to reach.

The sky that felt the hair was not detached, then distanced his hands.

“This is original?” Ask Sky put on a sinless expression. Shanna who was still tidying her hair just opened her eyes. You freak.

According to Shanna, the sky is worse than the Blue dry kanebo. Everywhere, every person who met the first confirmed it was his name, not his real or fake hair.

“Hiiish, are you a fake doctor or what? Don't you see I'm a patient?” Shanna grunted angrily while pointing at her neck which was still fitted with a buffer due to an accident some time ago.

While Sky, he grimaced slightly as the girl scolded him. Right, it must have hurt his neck more when Sky pulled his hair earlier.

“Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to make sure it was real or not.” Clearly Sky spoke formally while pointing at Shanna's lollipop hair timidly.

“This girl is not her.” The sky murmured in my heart. He thought that the girl in front of him was only similar to the one he had met a while ago when he fell. Obviously, from appearance alone it is different.

“One more time, I'm sorry.” Say polite Sky with a face full of regret.

“My neck hurts more and you're just sorry?” Shanna asked still with her annoyance. One corner of his lips was slightly turned upside down when a sneaky idea flashed across his head.

“What if my neck is broken again?” Shanna pointed back at his neck.

“Emm, I will be in charge.” Sahut Langit firmly, do not want to prolong the problem.

“Doctor sure?” Shanna asked.

“Iya. I have no problem paying for your medical expenses, if your neck is indeed broken again.” Answer Heaven sure. Instantly Shanna cheered happily in her heart.

“Mobile.” Shanna suddenly thrust her hand towards the Sky.

“Your phone, Doctor.” Shanna moved her hand, gesturing for Sky to hand over her phone immediately.

“For what?” Ask Sky did not immediately give up his phone just like that.

“Doctor, I need to contact you to hold you accountable if anything happens to my neck.” Shanna's light was clear. The sky that heard that then nodded its head understood.

However, instead of picking up the phone, Sky chose to take the business card in his wallet, then hand it over to Shanna. “You can contact me to this number.” Shanna then received a business card that Sky gave with pleasure.

“OK. Doctor . . . Skies. I will call you.” Shanna said shortly after she read the name listed in the business card while blinking one eye flirtatious, for then she passed away from the face of Heaven.

The sky scrunched its brows in wonder. The girl was angry, but now she looks happy as soon as she gets her card.

Not wanting to think about it anymore, Sky then chose to immediately go from his current place to the coffee shop.

Elsewhere, Shien, who was consulting on his condition with Nathan's doctor, suddenly came to a halt when a nurse came in with several medical records.

“Doctor Nathan, sorry to interrupt for a moment.” The nurse was not feeling well.

“This is the patient record of the Orange doctor submitted to you.” The nurse continued while handing over the patient file.

“Why was handed over to me?” Ask the twenty-eight year old doctor.

“Doctor Orange takes leave for several months.” The nurse replied with a stiff smile.

“Cuti? Just a few months he's back at work, now on leave again? It's delicious.” Dr. Nathan grumbled, recalling that Jingga used to take six months off work while a cross-border doctor in Pakistan and Yemen.

“This time is why?” Ask doctor Nathan julid. He envies the Orange that can take a break and the process is as fast as lightning. That's the power of insiders.

“I don't know. But, this afternoon the Obgyn section was excited because of the doctors of Orange and Prof. Blue come there . . .”

“Ohh, doctor Orange seems to have been poisoned by fungus. I'm sure she's not just on leave for a few months, but until giving birth.” Dr. Nathan's ambar is still with his genius.

“ Anyway, I just delivered this, Doctor. Excuse me.” The nurse quickly walked away from Nathan's doctor. He did not want to catch the doctor's seizures, especially what was discussed was the son-in-law of the hospital owner.

“Hiish, sucks.” Shien gasped as Nathan's doctor suddenly threw the patient file in place of the clear-coloured file on his desk.

“Doctor Nathan, you got me a heart attack?” Shien's protest was upset.

“Ahh, sorry.” Doctor Nathan raised his hand with a big grin.

The age of Doctor Nathan who is not much different from him makes Shien not have to be formal with the doctor. Moreover, doctor Nathan with his humble personality makes it easy to get closer to Shien even though they have not known for long.

“So where was it?” Shien rolled his eyes lazily hearing Doctor Nathan's question.

“So we talked about my activities.” In the end, inevitably Shien answered Nathan's doctor's question.

“Ahh, yes. I heard from your aunt. Said you cut back on sleep to work on your new book.” Doctor Nathan said.

“Emm. That's okay, right?” Answer and ask Shien. He felt lately his body was very healthy and fine even though he stayed up all night.

Sighing, Nathan's doctor looked at Shien with a concerned look. A gaze that Shien had never liked for anyone who looked at him like that. Shien felt himself pitied if he was stared at like that, and he was extremely dislikeful.

Although Shien was sick, he was not one who would lament and linger in grief by crying over his illness. Quite the contrary, Shien always tried to live life as if he was very healthy and strong. His illness did not deter Shien from continuing his zeal to live life and do all the things he wanted.

“Although you are fine. But you must not force yourself, Shi. You have a weak heart.” Dr. Nathan advised. His speech clearly made Shien's countenance turn sad, but as much as possible the girl hid it.

“Lagian, this isn't the first time I've been sick.” His voice sounds cold. His words indicate that Shien has often been in and out of the hospital.

“And struggling in front of a tablet or laptop every day is also not good. Sometimes find a new atmosphere. Hanging out in caffe while dancing guy for example. You're single, right, Shi?” Doctor Nathan said later, trying to distract the sad-looking Shien.

“Sok know.” Shien ketus.

“Your aunt said that you are single, every day just sitting at the desk, and dating a laptop or tablet. It's not good to be an anti-social person, Shi.” Doctor Nathan's lips make Shien snort miserably. Aunt Hilda really has a big mouth. What exactly did the middle-aged woman tell Doctor Nathan?

“You're a doctor or a nuclear medicine man?” Tukas Shien was upset that Nathan's doctor sneered at him.

“Ohh, I have the intention to become a host rumpi if fired from this hospital.” Doctor Nathan's heart relaxed. Shien simply swiped the sewot at his personal doctor who looked at this plot. Looks like Aunt Hilda chose the wrong doctor for her. Shien preferred the older doctor though stiff, rather than the young but his behavior was like this.

“Okay, let’s end this now. Where's my new prescription?” Shien then turned his hand toward Nathan's doctor to ask for a prescription for his new drug.

“Remember! Don't overly self-exorcise.” Nathan's doctor again gave Shien a warning while handing over his prescription.

“Cerewet.” Shien snatches the prescription from Nathan's doctor's hand and leaves his room. However, it was reduced when Nathan's doctor restrained him from leaving.

“What else?” Shien asked impatiently.

“This autograph first. My niece really likes all your books, Shien.” Dr. Nathan then released a picture book called Good Morning Sun. Shien's children's storybook tells of a white rabbit who just woke up, then say good morning to all the things he saw in the morning as a form of gratitude because the rabbit can still be given life to this day.

“This book will be published tomorrow. Why do you have it?” Asked Shien in surprise.

“Ahh, definitely aunt Hilda.” It didn't take long for Shien to guess where Nathan's doctor got his book from. He took the book and signed it immediately.

“I did not expect, it turns out the author is not as beautiful and as blank as the story.” Doctor Nathan's lips while watching Shien holding his signature.

“By the way once again, I ripped this book.” Threatening the rebellious Shien made Nathan's doctor close his mouth tight.

“Lain times, you have to pay.” Shien handed over the storybook he had signed.

“Thank . . .” Doctor Nathan snorted bitterly as Shien left just like that. In fact, he was just about to say thank you.

In the afternoon, the sky was getting ready to go home with his briefcase. He leaned his body against the elevator wall and yawned occasionally, his work today completely draining his energy.

The sky re-enforced its body as soon as the elevator door opened. He was stunned when he saw the girl who was now standing before him. The girl appears semi-formal by blending pink blazzers and t-shirts, trousers and mule shoes of matching color. Shien.

The sky opened his eyes. The girl he saw this afternoon appeared eccentric now changed again. Right, the sky is not wrong. The face of this girl did not change, but why did her appearance change?

“Dia why? Worms?” Shien wondered in his heart seeing the strange demeanor of Heaven. Not caring much about it, Shien then casually walked into the elevator.
