Zaenab And Zaki
Mira POV: Slap for the umpteenth time

My service hours in five minutes will be over, I'd love to lay my body on the soft mattress that I have in the boarding house. Very tired of this heart and body, every day should be struggling with patients of old age who are chatty and many wants. Not to mention having to obey the orders of seniors who consider me their pride. It's too bad the fate of a junior doctor like me. What's more is I'm the junior doctor at this hospital.

Even so I am very grateful to be able to intern at such a nice and elite hospital like this. If it wasn't for my uncle who owned this hospital, I wouldn't be able to intern and earn a monthly salary.

'Tritt Triitt Triitt' the sound of Mira's cell phone vibrates.

Mira looks at the screen of her phone and she finds her aunt's name calling her Aunt Susan. Not thinking much more, Mira picked up the phone and answered it in a soft tone of voice.

"Assalammualaikum, bi... how are you?"ask Mira.

"Alhamdulillah good. How about yourself? Haven't called aunty in a long time?"ask Aunt Susan.

"I'm good bi... Sorry if you rarely call because these two weeks many patients are alternating to come to the hospital." replied Mira.

"Oohh.bibi understands. Especially in addition to a pandemic like this, there must be many patients who come." said Aunt Susan.

"Yes bi... How's uncle doing? I see uncle rarely comes for medical check-ups at the hospital right now."

"Every week Doctor Rian comes to our house, he checks your aunt and uncle's health."

"Thank God, my uncle and aunt had a great doctor's nephew."

"One day you can also be like Doctor Rian, as long as you are diligent in studying and working."

"God willing." answered Mira.

"Mir...can you come to aunt's house after your service hours are over?"ask Aunt Susan.

"Can bi...but what's up,bi?"ask Mira curiously.

"Auntie just wants to talk casually with you all want to ask about your mother's news in the village."

"DEAD ME!! I did not go to the village of my mother. Besides money from aunty for mother I have used to buy this latest mobile phone. W.how is this?"mira muttered in heart.

"Mir.mira..hallo...hallo.."call aunty.

"Oh yes bi. I'll be here in 20 minutes."

"alright. Aunt wait at home. Be careful on the road."

"Yes bi..."

"Assalammualaikum." said Aunt Susan.

"Waalaikumsalam." answered Mira.

After receiving a call from her aunt, Mira immediately rushed to the dressing room and kept her office clothes inside the locker. After changing clothes, he immediately exited the hospital in a hurry. From behind, Doctor Rian called Mira's name repeatedly, but Mira did not hear it. Mira ran small towards the exit of the hospital gate. He paused for a moment while watching his phone. Not long after, an online motorcycle approached him. He went with the online ojel.

Doctor Rian who saw the departure of Mira with an online ojek can only monitor from a distance.

The trip from the hospital where Mira was on duty to Aunt Susan's house only spent an hour in a two-wheeled vehicle.

Mira arrived at the gate of a classic-style luxury house. He entered the courtyard of the house and approached two middle-aged people who were sitting quietly in the garden chair.

"Assalammualaikum aunty.paman.."pa Mira.

"Waalaikumsalam." answered Mira's uncle and aunt.

The mansion belonged to Mira's uncle, Uncle Hendro. Mira's uncle and aunt are kind, generous, friendly and not as arrogant as her son, Tika.

"How are you, Mira? How's your job at the hospital?"ask Uncle Hendro.

"Alhamdulillah smoothly uncle, but... Doctor Rian moved me to the lab.the more patients the more work he did." answered Mira.

"If it's a problem, your uncle and aunt already know. Rian himself told the story. Although the uncle owns the majority stake in the hospital but the entire operation of the hospital is in the hands of Rian. Just follow the rules and obligations he has given you. The important thing is that you can get knowledge, experience and salary while serving there." said Uncle Hendro.

"Good uncle." answered Mira briefly.

"Uncle is sure someday you will be able to make your mother happy in the village. By the way how is your mother in the village, Mir? Last week you said you wanted to go home to your mother's village. Have you conveyed our trust to your mother?"ask Uncle Hendro.

Hearing Uncle Hendro's words, Mira fell silent and lowered her head. Mira's face turned into fear. Mira was afraid her lie would be exposed. It's a lie that he didn't go back to the village to visit his mother and he used the money that his uncle and aunt gave him for his mother.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell my dad that last night my sister, Mira's mother, called. He said that Mira came only briefly because there was a duty call . Dad's money has been received by my sister, she said thank you. That's right, right, Mira?"said Aunt Susan.

"If your sister calls again please tell her. Tell him to stay with us." said Uncle Hendro.

"Well dad." replied Aunt Susan.

Aunt Susan looked at Mira's face that was still down. Mira felt very ashamed of her aunt. Always good to him and his mother.

"It's been the umpteenth time that aunty has covered up your lies and mistakes in front of your uncle. If you use the money for your personal matters, your uncle will be angry and dismiss you from the internship program at the hospital. Let aunt sacrifice for you, Mira.." muttered Aunt Susan in heart.

"Sit down Mira.bibi want to know your activities in the hospital."Aunty Susan.

"Thank you uncle.bibi.."sahut Mira.

"When do you intern at the hospital?"ask uncle

"Until the end of this month uncle. If I'm done with my internship, can I work as a doctor at uncle's hospital?"ask Mira.

"Finish your college until you get a diploma and then you serve for a year or two in your hometown and then take a new specialist school you can work in the uncle's hospital." said Uncle Hendro.

"Over long uncle?"ask Mira.

"That's the procedure. Not because you're uncle's nephew, you can immediately become a doctor there. Rian also like that. he graduated from a public university with cum laude predicate then worked as a doctor in Papua for two years and he is now taking a specialist program." said Uncle Hendro.

"Yes.you should not be shy to ask Dr. Rian how to be a good doctor at a young age."sahut Aunt Susan.

"Yes bi.." answered Mira briefly.

When they were talking things casually while joking suddenly Tika appeared close to where they were clutching.

"Wah.wah. How come I wasn't told?"tanya Tika mocked Mira.

"Speak politely, Tika! He's your cousin anyway!"sahut Aunt Susan.

"Loh.it's true, ma'am... He is from the village, just because we raise his degree and his life, he can live in the city." said Tika.

"ENOUGH TIKA! ENOUGH!!"shouted Aunt Susan.

"Why do mothers always defend these village children?"ask Tika emotions.

"Because Mira's nature and attitude is more polite and kind than yours!"shouted Aunt Susan.

"Istigfar ma'am.istigfar. Dad doesn't want mom and dad's health to decline." said Uncle Hendro as he stood up from his seat and pushed his wife's wheelchair.

"Come sir.mom will rest in the room. Sorry Mira, uncle and aunt want to go into the room first. You better just go home, don't linger talking to pregnant women because of fast emotions." said Aunt Susan.

"Based on old women is useless!"scream Tika.

"CLOSED MOUTH! Speak politely with your mother!"said Uncle Hendro ketus.

"Dad already...ayo we go in!"aunt Susan said, calming her husband.

Uncle Hendro and his wife left behind Mira and Tika who were still sitting at the garden table. Tika who was already emotional with the arrival of Mira immediately sprayed Mira.

"Eh camp doctor! Don't forget yes.elu it can study medicine and your life is guaranteed in the city thanks to the wealth of my bokap treasure." said Tika ketus.

"I know and remember all your parents' kindness to me and my mother" Mira replied.

"What about Zaenab? Is he dead?"ask Tika.

"Sorry Tika, I don't know. Now Zaenab is under the supervision of Doctor Rian. Rian won't tell me anything about Zaenab." said Mira.

"B*D*H!! Doctor GOB**K!!"scream Tika.

'PLAAKK!!'the sound of a loud slap on Mira's right cheek.

"Find clear information on how Zaenab is doing! If she's alive tomorrow, I'll make sure your mother's wrapped in a shroud!"threat Tika's.
