Doctor Naura
Chapter 23 The Night of Horror
After the Ashar prayer I immediately rushed to the Honey Bee clinic. I've been contacting Mak Yang since leaving this morning from Mentok to open his clinic service. Throughout my birth mother's departure, there was always what she had said. I can't stop thinking, how could Mama talk like that. She said every time I went to her house to sleep with Nina's doctor there was always a tremor in my heart. Seeing me was always fun for him. But his wish that I let bang Zamy marry doctor Nina was really a compulsion. It's unethical to say such a thing. Indeed I realized, our closeness, I felt not really penetrate the heart. I still feel haggard even though I have hugged her many times, even though she is my real mother. Different when with my mother, hugging her is a calm mind and happiness for me.
"Yuk Mairoh.., Naura went to the clinic...." I met Yuk Mairoh who was humming ironing my clothes.
"Ah yes doc.., don't forget to bring the key." He reminded. I took the keys to the house hanging near the door.
"okay." I answered.
"Dok, will you be served dinner menu no?" Yuk Mairoh asked again.
"No need to yuk. The patient is already 30 years old who list, just a day off. Naura must have come home late." I'm explaining. Yes, mak Yang has received thirty more patients to register their children for treatment. Since the coronavirus case soared high in Bangka Belitung, my patients have more and more. I'm heading to the garage, yuk Mairoh has opened the gate for me. I clawed it and then drove to my clinic on Bangka Street. Along the way is still the look on the face of my mother who told me to give up for the happiness of bang Zamy and doctor Nina. In my heart I thought, maybe doctor Nina could be happy because her wish was achieved. But what about bang Zamy? Will he be happy? She seemed sincere to want to be with me more than a sister. And I also dreamed that I could be an important part of filling his days until that time came, we were separated because we couldn't breathe anymore.
About fifteen minutes on the way. I arrived at the clinic. There were five patients. But since Mak Yang was still preparing everything still started my practice at four in the afternoon. Before entering the practice room I saw her practice room bang Zamy was still closed, two nurses were standing at the door. 3 pregnant women with their husbands were already sitting in waiting chairs. Just now I was about to close the door, suddenly at the clinic gate stopped a car I knew. Doctor Husni went down to open the door, and then bang Zamy went down behind him. My heart is happy. I don't know, it's hard to put it in words, but looking at it now is very different when I saw the Zamy bang first. They talked for a while and then I saw Dr. Husni waving and smiling at me. I repay. Dr. Husni is one of our best partners. She is also a contract pediatrician at the workplace of bang Zamy. He has no self-practice place, obstacles have not gained a strategic place. So, if bang Zamy there is a busyness that causes him not to have time to go to the clinic, doctor Husni is always ready to replace. With a one-time big horn, Dr Husni's car slowly drifted away and disappeared in view. Bang Zamy twisted his body and smiled at me.
"Wah tumben comes before four...." Bang Zamy approached me. There was a little shame in the heart, why was it already in the clinic half an hour before it opened. Usually Mak who always calls says, the doctor's mother has a lot of patients. Doc, the patient's been out a long time. Always arrive late even if it is only five minutes.
"When I've been at home I've been getting bored for a long time." I retaliated.
"Kok getting bored? Do you have to move there so you don't get bored?" Bang Zamy teased me by raising his eyebrows many times.
"No need, no noise." I answered briefly.
"Why are you bored?" Bang Zamy pulled me over, he nodded towards the few patients who were looking at us. We headed for the empty waiting chair, in the side yard.
"Did anything bother you, Bee?" Bang Zamy sat down while putting the bag on his shoulder. He looked at me seriously. I pouted a little to sit near him.
"So mama came to Naura's house." I started talking. Our eyes are glared. But I immediately averted my eyes unable to long stare at bang Zamy. Bang Zamy held my shoulder.
"Mama? Meaning si...."
"Yes her mother is Dr. Nina, my real mother." I cut out the question bang Zamy.
"He's your real mother, doesn't it matter if he comes there?" Bang Zamy was a little astonished.
"Yes, if it comes well." I spoke while looking into his eyes again.
"Lha? why then?"
"Mama instead came to tell Naura to stay away from the Zamy bang and let the Zamy bang marry Nina's doctor." I'm explaining. Bang Zamy smiled blankly. He looked up while playing with his slightly dry lips. Then he raised his right leg above his left foot, his right hand patting his right calf. The left hand rests on the back of the chair.
"It's also weird about the nature and attitude of those around us. My life, why should they manage it? Heee..." Bang Zamy laughed blandly back.
"Menurut abang bagaimana?" Aku menatap bang Zamy yang masih kelihatan santai.
"Take it easy on the deck, don't think too much." Just answer him while lowering his feet. He smiled and nodded to some of the newly arrived patients.
"Bring it easy how bang?" I was dizzy with it.
"Yes relaxed, my brother also relaxed when Nina went home earlier. You don't want to come home."
"Oh, what did he say?" I'm curious.
"It's also funny that he, even though a doctor, can't tell which girlfriend is a friend." Bang Zamy smiled. She fixed my veil on the back of the wind.
"I mean brother?" I asked while holding the tip of the back veil.
"She really thinks of her brother as her boyfriend. Even though my brother did not say love to him, not even though my brother said love to him. Nor did he ever promise anything meaningful to his life."
"Hemz.., or it's just a relationship without status. You want to be honest with Naura?" I lowered my voice.
"Honestly what?" Bang Zamy approaching.
"Usually despite relationships without status, many couples are also physically already...." I stopped my sentence. Confused himself to continue. Gotta use what language I asked her if bang Zamy ever held her hand doctor Nina, never bang Zamy kissed her, or maybe more than that.
"Physically what?" Bang Zamy held my hands together.
"Naura means what bang Zamy ever.., ah come on Naura wants to enter the practice room. Almost four o'clock in the afternoon, the patient was already over." I can't go on asking. It feels so awkward and embarrassing. Bang Zamy held my finger. He let some of the patients look at us at a glance and take a look. They already knew we were not siblings because a few days later the news in the newspaper mentioned us with various commercial titles.
"Your question is not finished. Ever what?" Bang Zamy sat down and held both fingers on my thighs. His head looked up with sharp eyes watching me. I'm getting more and more clumsy.
"Forgot it." I pulled my hand, but bang Zamy didn't let that happen so easily. I can't escape.
"Explain that you just left." He pulled me back into the chair.
"What the hell is bang? Shame to know, it's not good for the patient."
"Makanya said it first. What was it?" Bang Zamy still holds me. I'm losing.
"Naura means. Doctor Nina does consider brother as his girlfriend while brother says never say anything to him, if your relationship is limited to a relationship without status, but emotionally you have held hands, holding hands, kissing or even more than that?" Finally with all courage came out that question. My face was flushed, while bang Zamy was smiling broadly. He let go of both my hands.
"Owh that's who he wanted to ask from earlier. Hemzzz...., say no?" Bang Zamy pretended to think with his index finger on his lips.
"No need!" I immediately headed towards my practice room. Bang Zamy chased after me with his triumphant, fluffy smile. We both smiled kindly to the patients who had come even before four.
"Hi Mak Yang? Hi San?" I greeted Mak Yang and Santi who took turns copying some patient data.
"Ha doc. Alhamdulillah more sumringah after finishing a day off. Mak Yang replied with a smile.
"Alhamdulillah not be a 3-day holiday..," Santi even grateful not to be a holiday. Understandably in addition to monthly kugaji, they also every day I give pocket money according to the amount of income.
"Yes Mak Yang. Is Santi the same doctor?" I laughed in the practice room. After how many seconds in the room I bent my head out.
"From five minutes to Mak Yang.., San." I saw the clock was four in the afternoon, seven minutes less.
"Okay doc." They both answered. I sat in the chair without my work coat, reopened my phone and calmed my breath. Just as I opened the screen, suddenly bang Zamy entered and instantly closed the door.
"Why did you come here?" I was immediately agitated.
"You know the answer." He sat in the patient seat in front of me with a smile.
"It doesn't matter! No need!" I melengos.
"Hahaha..., is Naura jealous?" Bang Zamy said the sentence quietly right in front of my left ear.
"This is nitip brother hold it first." Bang Zamy put down the brown envelope he had just brought. I read the handwriting outside. Rp11,750,000,-. It has a paraphrase with the inscription Husni. I took the money and put it in my bag. I didn't ask, I already knew. It must have been the result of the sharing of results with Dr. Husni for 3 days. Usually we implement a profit sharing system with a replacement doctor. For two after paying overtime two nurses and set aside directly for mang Ridwan and his wife cleaning and guarding the clinic. If with a substitute doctor, the nurse is considered to work overtime.
"Naura, that one just now," Bang Zamy spoke before turning around to leave my room.
"Ah, it's bang...." I shied away from the conversation that made me uncomfortable.
"Abang did not even once intend to hold Nina's fingers."
"Its hard to believe." I reply cynically.
"Do you know why you're not interested in him?" Bang Zamy asked me.
"Why?" I looked into the eyes of the man who made my heart tremble.
"Too many exes."
"Owh...." I raised my eyebrows high, astonished. But indeed from his very hedonistic appearance, it can be trusted if he likes to change girlfriend. While me? I haven't had a boyfriend in all this time. But the ones that are close and trying to be my lover are some people. I smiled at myself, then called Santi to start calling the patients.
***
It's almost one in the morning. I'm done with all my patients. 41 people came. On average, only bring children diarrhea, cough colds, rashes, nausea and one patient with bleeding ears because it is scratched too deeply by the child. Covid-19 makes many parents paranoid. Coughing a little cold was very worried about getting the coronavirus, so my patients became booming. I gave pocket money to Mak Yang and Santi three hundred thousand each.
"Thank you doc, go home...." They say goodbye. Mak Yang picked up his son while Santi went home alone on a motorbike, his house was not so far away. While I was preparing to go home too.
"It's morning Bee, just sleep here." Suddenly bang Zamy opened the door.
"Naura just go home bang, it's hard to sleep in this room, Naura rarely lives the problem." I answered bang Zamy. Bang Zamy's house has three large rooms. Each with a bathroom. But it is rarely occupied, because even my father and mother since I bought a house on Jalan Baru always stay at my place.
"Of that, then let brother deliver." Bang Zamy raised his hand. I understood the point and immediately gave me my car keys.
"When you go home, yes...." I say goodbye to Mang Ridwan who is preparing to lock the door of the clinic.
"Yes the doctor. Thank you for the welcome." He nodded politely. I stared at bang Zamy about the rambutan.
"Abang says it's your luggage." Bang Zamy explained. I just quietly followed him up to my car. We were preparing to go, but suddenly my car was thrown by someone with a stone fist, glass at the back. The glass did not break, but it cracked a little. Bang Zamy looked at me who was sitting next to him.
"Don't come out, we'll just go. Don't forget to call Mang Ridwan, to lock all the doors and make sure there are no obstacles CCTV." I speak like a detective. Bang Zamy nodded and called Mang Ridwan. About five meters away the car moved, I saw through the rearview mirror someone running towards someone on a motorcycle waiting for him. They ran off on the opposite road to our car.
"Who is? Suddenly there was something like this. This kinik has stood for almost five years but never happened...." Bang Zamy wondered on the way.
"You should be more vigilant Bee.., brother began to suspect one or two people around us...." Bang Zamy held my right hand. I immediately pulled it.
"Your gun's still active, right?" Bang Zamy is worried about me again.
"still. But maybe they didn't intentionally bang." I tried to calm my own prejudice.
"No Bee.., they must have been lurking for a long time. Tomorrow's your parking lot in the yard." Bang Zamy added.
"Sometimes it's not good to park inside because many patients have come. Passing them Naura is loath bang."
"When it comes you have to be faster than the patient." Bang Zamy suggested. I just nodded. In my head began to sway prejudice who and what motive they did that.
"Should we call the police?" Bang Zamy asked seriously.
"Naura feels unnecessary now. But if tomorrow-tomorrow happens again, we have to be more vigilant." I answered bang Zamy.
About fifteen minutes into our trip we arrived at my house. Yet again, a strange event happened. We caught a shadow leaping out of the fence into the vacant land behind the house. Bang Zamy prepared to chase but I held his hand.
"Too dangerous, maybe they've got trap preparations. Brother don't get hooked." I reminded. Bang Zamy nodded. He parked the car and closed the garage while holding my hand. His eyes were careful, still turning once to the shadow had disappeared, bang Zamy kept me open the door. After being inside the house, he then called Taman Sari police station, AKP Ervan Ramadhan, reporting the incident.
"Is it not too much to report events now?" I'm trying to remind you.
"Naura's safety is threatened."
"But it's getting late now. Later the neighbors even come if there are police."
"Here you go, Naura goes in the room, locks the door, you wait for the police and your friends." Bang Zamy told me to go in the room. My knees are shaking, I'm having heart palpitations. From the clinic was holding back the fear, along the way began to decrease, and then came back again after arriving at my house. But since the gun in my car was already in Zamy's hands, my worries diminished.
"What about yourself?" I'm worried about bang Zamy.
"Abang won't be going back to the clinic, then stay here. Naura rest first. Brother is waiting for Zein's entourage to come here. I think the police are on their way, too." Bang Zamy explained. I didn't go straight into the room. I approached bang Zamy who was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room. He took off his phone and grabbed me to sit next to him. I think bang Zamy's laying my head on his right shoulder.
"Don't be afraid, tomorrow you will find two security guards to guard this house. And from tomorrow my brother will stay here." Bang Zamy was still trying to relax. But I know he's very worried about this. I just kept quiet. Bang Zamy then stroked my head.
"If Naura is uncomfortable at home with only her brother. Naura can take a friend to bed here." Bang Zamy reminded.
"Who?" I'm confused myself.
"There may be ASN nurses from out of town who are still contracted. Just bring it here. There are plenty of rooms here." Bang Zamy explained. I'm back in silence. Not interested in putting strangers into my house. But if we only live together in my big house, not only uncomfortable with the atmosphere, but the neighbors will definitely gossip, because they already know that we are not siblings.
"Try Santi here, sleep in that room." Bang Zamy pointed at the room next to his bang Zamy room. I just shook my head. I haven't thought about who I'd accompany in this house if bang Zamy would move here.
"Later if the police have checked, and declared safe, Naura will be okay alone bang." I spoke to bang Zamy who just shook his head in disagreement. Suddenly bang Zamy stood up after hearing police sirens and some of his friend's cars had come.
"We'd better get married soon." Bang Zamy spoke seriously at me. After that, without waiting for my approval, he opened the front door and greeted the police and some fellow doctors who came. Not to miss some people by using identity cards and online media come with their cameras. Then I was called to give some information needed, who was suspected and others. After about half an hour with his report, the police and the romongan bang Zamy went to the back to check some places in the garden behind the house. They found a long bamboo to climb the concrete fence of my house. No trace of any more was found because the atmosphere only with lighting garden lights, 2 pieces of emergency lights and each with a flashlight hapenya.
"Commander's report, there's a suspicious object here." A policeman suddenly shouted from the gazebo. Everyone gather to get there. Not to forget I also came to watch. Ervan police brought the findings to the terrace after finishing taking some photos at the discovery site. A black, foul-smelling pouch, contained a coconut shell containing several strands of curled hair, seven sheets of rolled white cloth, and, a small chucky serem doll made of blood with 7 needles stuck in his body.3 sheets of wet betel leaves and half young betel nut. a small piece of tobacco and 3 pieces of nails, 3 pieces of betel leaf, a lime chopped. 1 the object was a bit wet, the police and others could not guess its name, like chicken intestine, but some doctors said it was a dry baby umbilical cord moistened. My hair immediately goosebumps. All look at each other between confusion and creepy.
"A lot of remembrance is doctor Naura, it seems like this is useless." Doctor Husni reminded. I just nodded. Bang Zamy looked at me.
"Someone doesn't like you doc...." Dr Zein commented. I'm still quiet too. There's nothing I can say. There's just a little creepy. What magic have they sent. What is their purpose?
"This is evidence we'll take to the office. And now we want to see the CCTV footage." AKP Ervan explained. Bang Zamy invites them into the room bang Zamy where the DVR is located. But because the garden lights in the back are not so bright, while people who come in black clothes are covered with heads, CCTV did not help much. Mr. Eevan Police suggested that manual security systems be activated. Bang Zamy confirms he will be looking for two security guards tomorrow. And around 3am all have gone home, no more police and friends bang Zamy. Just the two of us. I can't sleep anymore, so does bang Zamy, he's tuning tivi instead.
"Sleep the deck, God willing, everything is safe."
"Don't Zamy want coffee?" I'm trying to offer.
"Later do it yourself." Without looking, he answered me. I'm heading to my room. Lock the door, pray the sunnah, pray for protection to God, and start to self-tow.
