Arinda, First Love

Thank you Raka

That night Raka who used to sleep comfortably on her soft mattress must feel the discomfort of sleeping on the sofa of Sherina's care room. He could only sigh many times while flipping his body for comfort.

While clucking annoyed he woke up and sat himself on the sofa. His two eagle eyes stared at Sherina who seemed to be fast asleep on top of the gurney. Actually, he could have asked for an extra bed for him to sleep with the nurse, but he was afraid of being the subject of a hospital discussion.

People will know that they are waiting for a patient who is a girl. Everyone would misunderstand and mistake Sherina for her lover, Raka thought.

For a moment, his eyes were focused on looking at the still faithful Sherina. She can't deny, Sherina is a very beautiful girl. Even his personality is quite pleasant, although sometimes a little annoying Raka thought.

"Ah, think what I am." he muttered small while removing all thoughts that began to be unguided.

Raka also threw her body back against the sofa with her head looking up at the ceiling of the treatment room.

Flashbacks, flashbacks,

"Raka, can I ask for help not to be with you?" ask Arin while linking her fingers slowly.

"What's up Rin? Say it, don't worry." answered Raka earnestly.

"Em, gini ka. Tomorrow's my first day of work, and Herti just got a call there's work out of town and has to leave right now."

"And Sherina, there's nobody in Jakarta. You don't mind if I drop him off until tomorrow afternoon. I promise you the afternoon is over I work I will definitely come straight here." Arin explained expectantly.

Raka who could never refuse Arin's request, of course accepted the request easily. He did not think of anything else when he agreed to the request.

And that's how she ended up having to end up spending time in Sherina's nursery. It just so happens that Sherina asks Arin to place her in the VIP room so that no other patient is in the same room with her.

When Arin said goodbye to go home, Sherina had slept the effects of post-operative painkillers given. So he did not know at all if the one waiting for him at this time was doctor Raka.

To avoid gossip, Raka takes off her doctor suit and changes clothes before waiting for Sherina. He even wore a mask and a hooded jacket to cover his identity at the hospital.

However, this hospital in addition to his place of work, is also a hospital owned by the Raka family. So whatever step he took was always the center of attention of all hospital residents.

...****************...

In the morning, Sherina woke up to the arrival of the visiting nurses to do the examination as well as the replacement of the infusion.

"Good morning, with Miss Sherina." greet the nurses kindly.

"Good morning sus." replied Sherina weakly.

"How's Miss Sherina doing this morning? Is it better?" ask a nurse who is checking her blood pressure.

"It's better sus." replied Sherina.

"Are there any complaints you're feeling after surgery?" ask again while recording the results of the examination.

"That's normal after surgery, after this lady learned to move her body to her left and right side. After that, learn to sit later at 10 am the doctor will make a visit." explained the nurse.

They talked for a while about what Sherina could and could not do. And not long ago came a person who was in charge of delivering breakfast to each treatment room.

After everyone came out of her room Sherina also circulated her gaze in all directions looking for the whereabouts of her two best friends. But both eyes even caught a man who was sleeping on the sofa with a sitting position.

Sherina wondered who the man was. But he did not have the energy to approach the man. Let alone walking to move his body he still felt very difficult.

He chose to resign and wait until the man woke up by himself. And not waiting for long, Raka finally woke up with aching feeling all over her body.

He also tried to stretch his muscles spontaneously. And so surprised when his eyes accidentally collided with the two eyeballs belonging to Sherina who was brownish.

"K..who are you? Where's Arin Herti?" asked Sherina a little doubtful.

"Oh, this is my doctor Raka." replied Raka as she opened her mask walking towards the gurney.

"Arin, just got a work call this morning and Herti had to go out of town all of a sudden last night. So they asked me to accompany you here." explained Raka who made Sherina can only be oh ria.

The moment there felt really awkward for both of them. Sherina wanted to say thank you so much it felt so shameful.

"Em, doctor Raka thanks for the help sorry if it has been troublesome" said Sherina in the end break the silence.

"Oh yeah, it's okay, just relax." answered Raka trying to be as friendly as possible.

Raka thinks he will treat Sherina like a patient. So that he will not be embarrassed and awkward in the next few hours.

"You don't need to feel awkward, just think of me as a doctor who is handling his patients" Raka said with a warm smile.

"Ah well doctor Raka. Oh yes, if the doctor wants to go home now it's okay. I can ask the nurse to help me if I need anything." said Sherina, who still feels very uneasy.

"Have it, don't bother like that. After all I've promised Arin to keep you in his place as long as he's not around. It could be out later I get angry with him, if I stay you." said Raka tried to melt the atmosphere.

"You're hungry, what if I feed you, yeah?" tawar Raka makes Sherina unwell.

How could he have eaten in a bribe by a man he had just met. Although he knew that doctor Raka was a good man and would not mess with him, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Raka immediately took over the food that was on the nightstand and placed it on his lap. He quickly arranged Sherina's bed so that she could eat comfortably.

"Sorry, it will definitely hurt a little" he said while adjusting the most comfortable position for Sherina.

In a short time all the awkwardness between them was gone. Moreover, Sherina's chic and joking nature makes Raka no longer keki even though for the first time they talk intensely.
