Doctor Naura
Chapter 2 Accident
Exactly one afternoon after an hour in the flight, finally the plane I was on landed at Depati Amir Pangkalpinang Airport. The weather is cloudy, the sky is a little dark, it looks like it will rain. I rushed down the stairs while keeping my distance from the other passengers. There were some passengers who recognized me saying hello. I replied to them with my sweetest smile despite being covered in a mask.
Not long after I finished picking up the luggage, I headed for the exit after passing the baggage check by the airport attendant. As I thought, from the direction of the exit was already seen a handsome police figure who was seven years younger than me. He came in full with his uniform. Maybe he's a permit, my inner. In the message earlier Irwan said he wanted to pick me up. Actually, I had refused several times to pick him up, but he did not give up on giving reasons why to pick me up, bad weather, fear of bad people, and a myriad of other reasons. So because it feels useless to refuse his request I also read the message without replying again. In my little heart whispered, If I wanted to be picked up then there is the person I most deserve to be helped with, bang Zamy, he is my brother who loved me so much from childhood. I inshaAllah is always safe nearby.
"Hey pretty doctor, was your trip fun?" The man immediately greeted me with a familiar snob.
"Hemmm.., "I just muttered and slightly nodded while giving my car keys. My smile is a little restrained. I am tired and want to rest at home. But before I take a break, I want to clean up my rather cluttered room.
Me, Doctor Naura. In addition to working as an ASN doctor and practicing at Honey Bee clinic, I am also a hobby of writing. So no wonder my work desk is a little scattered with some writing equipment. There are two laptops on the desk. Plus one PC with a printer under the desk, some medical books, novels and agendas. Wipes, paper, highlighter and all kinds of pens were also there. I use when doodling make a writing framework. Yesterday because the Director suddenly gave me a Task Order, I hurriedly packed up and did not have time to clean it up again. While yuk Mairoh, my housekeeper who is almost as old as me, had advised me not to tamper with the area, my work desk.
"Hey Bee. Smooth soft and sangaaattt. You know Bee? It's my first time driving such an elegant luxury car." Irwan spoke while driving. Sometimes he looks at me who is busy playing mobile phone.
"What the hell are you Wan, really say ngeyel, my name is Naura, eN a u eR a, Naura is not Honey Bee or Bee for you, she said, because the only people who can call me by the name of Honey Bee or Bee are five people, namely three brothers, father and mother. Not with strangers!" I stared at Irwan for a moment. I speak very seriously. I really don't like people who are super-familiar. Irwan looked at me again.
Maybe he realized that he wasn't who I was until now.
I just feel indebted because he once caught Andre, an ex of mine who once made a fuss at the clinic when I cut ties with him. It just so happened that Irwan was there. That'sallthatis. About the taste in my heart for Irwan? Nothing at all until now.
"Yaaaa-iyaaa, I'm sorry Doctor Naura's beautiful mother." Irwan tried to give in, but I didn't even bully him.
"It's best that I call you Nancy from now on. You know what Nancy means?" Irwan tried to neutralize my emotions.
"What?"
"My beautiful and sexy aura, Nency, is so fitting," Irwan chuckled to himself.
"My aura? What the hell? Not funny to know." I muttered in annoyance as I turned my face towards the window of my car which had the brightest star in the constellation Hydra. And how shocked I was when I looked in the rearview mirror, I saw someone I knew even more than I knew myself, riding a rented motorcycle with a typical green color. He was shaken by an ojol. Spontaneously I lowered the glass, turned my head back and tried to call out to him. But the red lights in Semabung turned green. My car has to go or the sound of the horn in the back will be more crowded like the night of the new year.
I was still looking, while the motorbike he was riding had disappeared from my sight.
"Who the hell?" Irwan who was watching me from earlier asked. I just let out a long sigh while closing the glass back. The drizzle started to rain.
"I think I saw someone I knew very well. But it's impossible...."
"Who? Or maybe it's just similar." Irwan cut my words.
"Yes it might just be similar, because it's impossible for him to ride a paid motorbike so, especially in this weather." I try to answer my own confusion.
Irwan then added the volume of music, trying to divert the atmosphere while occasionally following the singing.
I looked back down at the message from my secretary at the clinic. The nurse said that today the patient signed up through whatapp has more than twenty people. I replied to him to limit me to twenty people because of my tired condition. I also said that the start was pushed back to 7 p.m. He replied to agree.

The sky is getting darker, the rain is getting darker. Occasionally there was a thunderous sound. The car continues to go slowly. But suddenly near the Puncak Pangkalpinang Hotel, Irwan suddenly stopped the car. I saw the queue of vehicles back densely creeping, not only because of the red light with the narrow road, but apparently in front there was a motor accident. I opened the glass and looked forward. I let my head get hit by rain. And I was so shocked to see some people carrying the body of someone I knew heading up the sidewalk.
"Zamy Bang!"
I opened the door, went straight down and ran towards my brother in the bin. I saw in the head of the bang Zamy still attached to the helmet ojol. Apparently I was not wrong to see the Zamy bang on a bump in bad weather. Wh-wh-what for? I became curious.
"Come-ayo please give me a place to rest this Father for a while. This guy's accident ride ojol." A father who was carrying a Zamy bang waved his hands on the sidewalk. The motorists who stop by the shelter also slowly get rid of themselves, far away to make room. The government-sponsored Social Distancing has not yet taken place in my city. For some people, dying from corona is no different from dying from cold, so clinging to humans, shelter under buildings avoid heavy rain.
"Isn't that Doctor Zamy? How can I ride ojol?" A pregnant Chinese woman walks out of Franky's shoe store. He spoke while approaching with a Malay Chinese accent.
"Yes right. This is doctor Zamy wo...! Oh my God Doookkk. Where's that expensive doctor's car wo?" The pregnant woman still had time to talk while sitting near my sister.
"Hehee...." Bang Zamy nodded while chuckling low. He just smiled grimacingly.
"So his brother accidentally passed through a hole in the road covered with stagnant water. The motor loses its balance on a slippery road. But it's okay, I just slightly wound up on the left palm." Bang Zamy showed his hands to the people there, then slowly opened the helmet. Then it was clear that his handsome face was blown because of the rain.
"Bee?" Suddenly Bang Zamy looked at me who was confused and unable to say a word. Long time later I sat facing him.
"Why is this so bang?" I kissed his right hand. Pale and wrinkled from cold. He's not even wearing a jacket. Bang Zamy instead of answering straight away, he rubbed his injured left hand against my head.
"Hehe later brother tell me. Now where's your car?" He looked at the crowd of cars that had changed red lights twice. I also searched. Shortly afterwards in the distance, with the car riding halfway up the sidewalk near the red light, I saw Irwan waving.
"Come on Bee, brother's hitching a ride in your car." Bang Zamy pulled my hand after the farewell and thanked the few people who were still clustered on the sidewalk. Not to forget that Zamy slipped 300 thousand money for Kang Ojol who even cried because he felt guilty. He refused the money.
"No sir, I should have given the money to Mr. Doctor, you are hurt because of me." So said Kang Ojol who might be as good as Bang Zamy. He tried to refuse the money.
"Here it is, the name of the disaster we do not know. It's a little money to just help bring your bike to the workshop. Replace your broken front bumper." Bang Zamy slipped the money into Kang Ojol's jacket pocket.
"Thank you so much Doctor, I'm sorry." Kang Ojol cried, while Bang Zamy smiled and took me to the car. After being near the car, both Bang Zamy and Irwan put up faces equally surprised and confused. Me? Surely, I am the most confused. Do they know each other? I don't know.
