“Doctors do not check in this way,” Silvia said.
“That's because I can't use a stethoscope on you, if it's hiding like this,” explains Dimas.
“Lucky I also learned how to check like this from a famous healer. I could use that science as an alternative to the current examination.
“You're very good at tongue-lightning. So now tell me, can you cure my illness?” ask Silvia ketus.
“Your disease is many and you let it drag on. We have to treat them one by one. For the first step, I give you this nutritious water. It's not a big thing, either. Just a thirst reliever and a sore throat, because I heard your voice hoarse. If the delay is not treated, it will be even worse!”
Dimas thrust a bottle of immortal water behind the curtain in front of him. Silvia took out and observed the bottle in her hand.
“I want you to drink that water now. So I can see the results in the next few minutes!” doctor Dimas's Order.
“You look more like a medic in the markets!” ketus Silvia's.
“The water has been proven to relieve thirst and hoarseness!” dimas said seriously.
Silvia laughs. “All water is to relieve thirst," he said.
"Alright, I'll drink!” Silvia opened the bottle and gulped down the contents. A fresh taste slid down his throat, leaving a sense of comfort within his mouth.

Outside, Robert spoke seriously with the two female healers. “We have to talk. Only with honesty can we save your mother!”
“Nothing to say!” reject the two healers.
“That means, you don't want Silvia to heal!” accuse Robert. His head drew closer to the face of one of them with a probing expression. “Are you not her real daughter?”
“I'm a biological daughter!” one pointed at himself quickly.
Robert looked at the older woman. “You must not be Silvia's daughter!” said directly.
“Do not create disputes between us!” sniffed the older woman.
“See, you're also the one who rejects my ideas more often!” Robert kept pressing the healer.
“That's because big brother gets angry most often if forced to check on mom!” the younger woman defended her brother.
“Can I know your names? That way, it's easier for us to talk,” Robert said.
“I Yasmeen*), and this is my sister Ameera,” replied the older female physician.
“Well, you already know that my name is Robert. But I'm not actually the head of this team. Our team leader was with our group earlier,” explained Robert.
“Where are they?” ask her after not seeing Eric, Hakon and Arjun.
“Maybe in the reception room. Come on,” Ameera takes Robert away. Yasmeen waited for Dimas at Silvia's doorstep.
Sure enough, from behind an open door, there was the sound of Eric talking with Arjun and Hakon. They sound very relaxed.
“Uncle Robert!” Eric greeted when he saw Robert enter the room.
“I think there's something we should discuss,” Robert said as he sat down.
“What about people looking for Uncle?” ask Eric. He's getting serious.
“Yes. He was one of my team first. Silvia!” obviously Robert.
“Oh, so dad said that Uncle Leon met one of you, but was reluctant to go with him. Is he?” ask Eric.
“Yes, there it is. Her name is Silvia,” insists Robert.
“What's up? Did something happen to her?” eric asked seriously.
“I don't know what happened to him all these years. I think he's very sick now. Dimas tried to check, whether he could take care of it or not,” reported Robert.
“We can't linger here ...” Eric thought hard after turning to Arjun and Hakon who raised their hands, a sign of not wanting to interfere in decision making.
“Why are you raising your hands? Shouldn't we discuss making a decision?” eric is sad.
“That discussion if we all get together, including those two Elves!” Arjun.
“If we take out the others, wouldn't it surprise the whole small town!” Eric's voice echoed in Arjun's mind. Sounds pretty upset. Arjun just smiled.
“Let's hear what the story is first. We'll think of the best way. After all, Doctor Dimas hasn't finished checking. It's possible that his magical hand was able to solve decades of illness!” breakup Eric.
Robert looked at Ameera. “You heard it yourself. We can't linger here. There's something else we need to work on right away. It's thousands of lives!” obviously Robert.
Ameera was shocked to hear how serious the affairs of her distant guests were. “What can I help you with?” tanyakanya.
“Who is he?” asked Eric in astonishment.
“This is Silvia's daughter, her name is Ameera,” Robert introduced.
“Oh, okay. Miss Ameera, how about you tell me what your mother has actually experienced. So that we have a strong enough reason to stay a little longer and help him!” firmly Eric.
Hakon looked in awe at Eric who usually just joked and played. Arjun knocks Hakon's forehead slowly. “You're fascinated by him? That is the aura of a leader, who we want to hone and get out of him!” whispered Arjun. Hakon just nodded.
“I have to ask Kak Yasmeen's opinion on this,” elak Ameera.
“Who is Yasmeen for your mother?” ask Robert. He was not very happy with the woman, because it was very difficult to work together.
“Do not think wrong. She loved her mother as much as she loved her. Without her sacrifice, my mother and I might have been abandoned in the desert!” Ameera looked down sad.
The people in the room looked at each other. But Eric quickly fixed the mood. “It's okay. Let's wait for Doctor Dimas to come back and bring your brother Yasmeen. Just honestly, only then can we help!” firmly Eric.
Ameera. Immediately he asked the servants of the residence to serve his guests while waiting for the examination of Dimas to be completed.
An hour later, Dimas was done with his examination. He was escorted by Yasmeen to where his friends gathered. Ameera whispered what Eric said to her.
“Good, now all concerned have gathered. I hope Doctor Dimas can tell us about the state of his patients.
“I have promised to keep whatever I see a secret,” Dimas said.
“T need not say the details. But I need input, before making a decision. Whether to let you treat him, or we leave and go find the Elf country. Compared to one very secret patient, I will be more concerned with this itinerary. There are many lives at stake if we make the wrong decision!” firmly Eric.
Dimas. He's in a lot of trouble. Robert could see that. Then there is only one person who can express this. His eyes stared intently at Yasmeen.
“Yasmeen, you better tell me what happened. Your information is important to find the right way of treatment by Dr. Dimas. It is important for our team leader to make a decision!” Robert urges.
Eric finally turned to the other female physician. “Who is he?” tanyakanya.
“Kak Yasmeen is my half-sister!” Ameera answered.
“OK! Now, you have to tell me what happened!” Eric's orders.
“Or, we will continue the journey tomorrow morning!” threaten her.
“Didn't you say this doctor can cure my mother?” Yasmeen's eyes stared fiercely at Robert, full of accusations as a man he could not hold his words to.
“I can cure him!” Dimas answered quickly. “But it takes time.”
“You heard that? Dimas can cure your mother. He's capable! But can't break the rule that the itinerary must be decided by the team leader!” Robert pointed at Eric.
Yasmeen looked hostilely at Eric and was further irritated to see the Ameer-aged man shake his head.
“You want to heal your mother, but don't want to say anything about what happened?" Eric laughed mockingly.
"Miss, we don't charge you for this treatment, because your mother's a friend of Uncle Robert's. Part of our group. Our father and mother's traveling companions. But you look so unable to cooperate! I guess you don't really love him!” kecam Eric spicy.
