The Substitute Bride of my Best Friend
Rojak

Zahira is very grateful because her days of pregnancy are so pleasant even in the morning to experience nausea and vomiting, but she enjoys it all. Luckily there are Shaka, Arumi and Rini who are always ready to help if their energy is needed. Similarly, Hanna, Zahira's colleagues also take care of Shaka's wife when they are working in the hospital.

"Doctor Zahira wants to order rice pecel for lunch? It just so happened that I and Sister Widya were going to the cafeteria."

Afifah's offer made Zahira who was reading the patient's medical record to look up the head of the pile of files on the table. "No, Sus. I don't want to eat pecel rice. Thank you for the offer," Zahira refused gently.

"Tumben. Usually Doctor Zahira becomes the first person to order when we offer rice pecel," always Widya.

Zahira's smile widened. "Yes. I'm going to eat a meal across from the hospital. Looks like it's good lunch like it's a fresh meal."

Hearing Zahira's reply, all the medics who were in the morning shift simultaneously stared at Zahira. They looked at the woman with question marks.

"Doctor Zahira said so as a young pregnant woman." Eva, the doctor in the Lotus ward chimed in. Understand if Eva says so because they do not know if Zahira is currently two-bodied. Only Hanna and the head of the Lotus ward knew about the good news.

"Indeed, if a woman suddenly wants to eat oral food can be sure she is pregnant? Then, if if I want to eat meatballs that are super spicy can be said to be pregnant as well?" Hanna's melodious voice that echoed to the corner of the room successfully interrupted their conversation.

Eva looked over to the source of the voice. "Not really, Doc. I'm just kidding, I don't mean anything else." A stiff smile worried that her words just offended Hanna.

Stepping gracefully toward Zahira. The woman's hand extended forward touching her friend's arm. "Come, I'll accompany you to eat lutis. Coincidentally I also want to buy a lick across from the hospital. We can go together."

Zahira tidied up the file she had read, then got up from the chair. "alright. Then me and Doctor Hanna first. Let's all." Let's all."

The two walked out of the hospital building. That afternoon the hospital atmosphere was not so crowded, only a few people were waiting in the administration and waiting chairs in front of the pharmacy.

"Why don't you seem to like Dr. Eva? Do you guys have a problem?" zahira asked as they were waiting for the pedestrian-only traffic light to be green.

I heard a breath coming from Hanna. "I'm really upset about him, Ra. You know not what he said when Doctor Nizam said goodbye before moving to IGD and at that time I was acting bodo even seemed indifferent to a cool pretentious man like Doctor Nizam?" Zahira shook her head in response. "Doctor Eva said, I'm a man who doesn't have manners and manners. Understandably, his name was also born from a broken home family so never educated well by parents."

"I admit my attitude at the time was outrageous. It's just what does Dr. Eva have to say in front of our colleagues?" hanna said with fire. The woman's chest was a kempis accompanied by a red face. "Being a victim of a broken home family wasn't my dream, Doc. Actually I also want to grow up in the middle of a whole family, there is Papa and Mama beside me. However, what if God had written my destiny to not be able to feel the warmth of a whole family? Do I have to shout and roar to the Almighty? The answer is no, right?"

Zahira listened to Hanna's story carefully. "So that's why you look so jutek every time you see Doctor Eva?" tanyanya.

Hanna took out a nominal 20,000-something note from inside the wallet, then handed it to the cilok seller. "Thank you, sir." The woman's handcuffs a black plastic bag containing two packs of peanut butter peppers. "Yes, Doc. Yes, I get angry without any reason. There will be no smoke if there is no fire."

After buying the cilok and rujak, the two returned to the Lotus ward while engaging in exciting chats around work and much more. Occasionally a slow throb is heard between Zahira and Hanna. However, the conversation of the two had to stop as the figure of a tall man walked towards them.

"Hello, Doctor Zahira, Doctor Hanna!" greet Nizam friendly.

Zahira nodded, spreading a warm smile. Just act as if nothing ever happened between them. While Hanna threw away face with a ketus. I would not return Nizam's words. It is better to look at the man passing by than to look at the beautiful face of the man before him.

"Just want to go to the cafeteria?"

"Yes, I have time to fill my stomach. Since the patient had arrived non-stop and was just a leisure now," said Nizam tried to behave normally even though the love for oriental-faced women was still stored neatly in the depths of the deepest sanubari.

Zahira chuckled softly. As bright as the shadow when he first worked at the hospital relics of the grandmother, he had experienced something similar. Working at IGD not only requires strong stamina but also extra patience because it will handle many patients with different diagnoses. Concentration must also be strong because IGD is the first place for patients to get first aid before they are taken to the ward. Once they make a mistake, it is bad for them.

Seeing Nizam and Zahira's interaction makes Hanna feel uncomfortable. Although the woman said she wanted to forget Nizam, but her little heart has not been able to remove the taste that once grew and blossomed in the heart.

"Doctor Zahira, if I still want to talk to him, I resign. Excuse me." Hanna hurried to leave the two men without giving them a chance to speak.

Zahira gasps when she realizes Hanna has walked away from her. Not wanting to have the same incident as before, the woman said, "Alright, then I'll catch up with Doctor Hanna. See you," said Zahira then resigned. He stepped away following Hanna who was walking in a hurry.

Nizam looked at the two women in front of him with a hard-to-understand look. "Always this way. When are you going to avoid me, Doctor Hanna?" mumbled wailing.
