Droplets of Night Creatures

263. Time

Aruna saw the spirit of Alam looking down sad just like when he died on the operating table.

Before the kidney transplant surgery was done, Alam still asked where his parents were. But the answer of doctor Mudji who was then accompanying him made Alam understand if his parents would never come to visit let alone wait for him to undergo surgery.

" Are they so busy they can't take a little time for me doc ?. Or they worry that if they visit me then their chance of earning a lot of money will just vanish. So that's just my value in their eyes.." Nature said in disbelief.

" I'm Sorry for Nature. But I've contacted Father and Mother. I also said that Mas Alam will be operating tonight. I said again on the road, if you meet again. I don't know if they can come or not" said Dr. Mudji.

" The doctor should have told me that my surgery was soon. And it could be that this is the last chance they'll ever see me." said Nature in despair.

" Yes Mas. I'll try calling again. Now Mas Alam is calm. Don't panic and keep praying for the operation to go smoothly" Mudji said, gently rubbing Nature's arm.

Nature who was already disappointed seemed to throw his gaze in another direction. The pain he felt was not comparable to the pain when ignored by his parents. Nature closed her eyes because she could not help but cry.

Shortly after, two nurses entered the room and brought Nature into the operating room.

On the way to the operating room, Nature passed the doctor Sheina. At that time the gurney driven by two nurses slid slightly until it almost slipped into the park. But Dr. Sheina was quick to help keep the gurney on the floor of the corridor.

" Thank you doctor Sheina.." said the two nurses together.

" All together. Be careful dong, kasian kalo his patient if the fall..," said doctor Sheina while glancing towards the weak lying Nature.

For a moment the two met. Nature felt her heart beating rapidly at the beautiful and gentle doctor Sheina. Doctor Sheina turned her gaze to another direction. Although at that time the doctor Sheina did not have the same feelings as him but Nature did not care.

Nature felt her life spirit rise when she saw Doctor Sheina. Nature wants to be able to meet again and get to know Doctor Sheina more closely. And that is what Nature had in mind when she was taken into the operating room.

Before Nature fainted due to the influence of drugs, the name of the doctor Sheina was the last he muttered. And it was Doctor Sheina who was first sought by Nature when her spirit left her body.

Aruna let out a long sigh when she found out how Nature could 'concert' in Doctor Sheina's office. He was both amazed and compassionate to nature. Amazed by the great love that Nature has for Doctor Sheina. And pity knowing Nature will not be able to have Sheina's love completely.

After seeing the terrible departure of Alam on the operating table, Aruna seemed to be pulled towards the morgue.

There he saw the father and mother of Nature standing still while searching the cold floor. No one spoke because both of them seemed busy with their minds. The two fell silent as they had just been reprimanded by the doctor Mudji who was protesting against them.

" How can you act like that. If you hate Nature at least don't show that hate. You can pretend to be sweet in front of her for the last time. You don't know how desperate he is when you know none of you care about him...!" doctor Mudji said annoyed.

" You know why Mudji...!" sahut father of Nature tried to defend himself.

" I don't know and I never want to know. That's your business. I'm never supposed to help you realize your g*la plan. I'm sorry and I quit now...!" doctor Mudji said as he passed.

Both parents of Nature looked at each other and could not say anything. They did not expect that their absence actually made their relationship with doctor Mudji worse. At first they thought Mudji's doctor would side with them but they were wrong. Doctor Mudji looks very bad when watching Nature died. Worse than those who are natural parents.

Although confused residents try to understand the attitude of both parents Alam. They think that both parents of Nature are devastated to lose the one-souled child.

Then Aruna opened her eyes and looked at the doctor Sheina who was sitting in a dhikr. He smiled and patted the shoulder of Doctor Sheina gently.

" Well, did you get anything...?" ask doctor Sheina curiously.

" Not all doc. But I'm starting to find out why Nature is staying here." said Aruna.

" Oh yeah, what's the reason...?" ask Dr. Sheina again.

" You.," said Nature suddenly to the surprise of Aruna and Doctor Sheina.

Doctor Sheina's originally tense face was seen starting to melt even blushing. And that made Aruna smile happily. While the Kautsar who stood beside Aruna seemed to understand what happened.

" Don't make Doctor Sheina ashamed of dong Lam. You don't know what it's like. It would be painful to know someone loves you but you can't repay them let alone have them" Aruna said, glancing at Sheina's doctor.

The spirit of Nature seemed to flinch as if it had just realized something. He looked at Doctor Sheina with a difficult gaze to describe.

" Have I hurt Doctor Sheina, Aruna...?" ask the spirit of Nature carefully.

" Maybe..," said Aruna quickly.

" Enough Aruna. Don't talk about my feelings, it doesn't matter at all. What is important is that Nature can immediately escape from the bond that has bound her all this time" interrupted Sheina's doctor.

" Well, doc, I get it.." said Aruna.

" So what else can we do after this darling ?. What information have you got not been enough to help Nature...?" ask Kautsar suddenly.

" We have to go to his house to know what's really going on. Nature is still hard to leave. Something is holding him back but I don't know what it is." said Aruna.

" Can I come with you to the house of Nature, Aruna...?" ask Dr. Sheina.

" The doctor has time. Isn't this doctor super busy huh...? " ask Aruna with a smile.

" I'll set up a special time for this Aruna case. You can call me at any time" said Dr. Sheina steady.

Aruna smiled broadly at Doctor Sheina's words.
