For Kahiyang

54: It turns out that Doctor Jutek...

The next day, Bumi was in a hurry to go to the hospital where he would introduce himself to the boss there. Because the elevator is too long, the Earth chose to go down the stairs as much as 7 floors.

Earth wants to make a good first impression on its first day of work. Edo has also warned that the Earth is not too late, because the culture in South Korea, the culture of "ppalli ppalli" which means fast. All are fast paced, because time for them is precious.

The earth ran towards the taxi that stopped dropping off passengers right in front of the apartment lobby.

"Hey, I go first" one woman exclaimed, speaking English.

Earth and the woman both hold the taxi door handle.

"Hey, I'm first" replied the Earth in the same language.

"Me first!" the woman said annoyed, pushing the Earth into a taxi and quickly leaving the still Earth stunned.

"Actus ... Shit!" he kicked the air.

Without wasting any time, Bumi walked forward to haul off another taxi. The earth has to move fast.

"Jinsilhan Hospital, please," Bumi told the taxi driver.

"OK .." replied the driver, giving his thumb.

The capital of South Korea is always crowded in the morning as well as in the afternoon, although the number of pedestrians and users of public vehicles such as buses and trains is overwhelming.

The Earth looks anxious not to be able to arrive in time.

"The cave is still on the way," - sorry-woe of the "shit cave! Early in the morning meet a jutek girl," complained Earth on Edo on the phone.

"How jutek? Where are you?" ask Edo.

"The first cave that got a cab, uh hauled. ******!" - breath-taking- "no idea where. You know the new cave here, instead asked the location.****emang lo!" The earth returns. Getting upset, remembering the incident.

"Sorry ... Sorry. Forgot cave. Ask the driver, where is the current location?" tell Edo, then the Earth does the direction of his friend.

"Somewhat, bro. This driver doesn't speak English. Ah the more dizzy the cave. Sherloc cave alone," - quietly and then remembered something - "bang*sat, just thought sherloc," said Bumi berated himself. Over there, Edo laughed.

"Grandfather! Even the cave," he said to Edo.

"Now also met a day, unique cave has been snaking to elo," said Edo, still laughing out loud.

"Diem lo! So sherloc isn't?" ask Earth.

"So then. Let the cave know your position now, it is still far away what is deket. The directors want to enter the room. Tell the driver to speed. Gregetan's cave!" lang Edo's.

"Where did he say speed? English is not possible" said Earth.

"Pinter doang but the brain is not dipake," - make fun of "google translate!" furious Edo.

The earth nodded and laughed. "Sorry, bro," he said grimily.

Earth types in a few words and then she selects the speaker button. His phone was attached to the driver, whom he had patted first on his shoulder.

A simple way that Earth would not think of. The driver immediately said okay, then looked for another road that was not jammed.

Lucky for Earth to arrive on time. Edo was already standing waiting for him in the hospital lobby.

"Palli ppalli .." exclaimed Edo, bringing Earth into the boardroom.

"Excuse me. " said Bumi nodded her head at a female doctor who had sat next to her.

The doctor was looking at his cell phone. "Please," he replied in Indonesian accidentally. Then he lifted his face to look at the earth.

Earth was shocked to hear the doctor's reply with her country language. And his surprise grew even more when he saw who the doctor was.

"You .." said the two together. The doctor was the woman who grabbed the taxi this morning.

"Why, bro?" ask Edo. The earth spoke with an annoyed mimic without a sound. While the doctor threw away his face, did not want to see the Earth who is now sitting on his right side.

The introductory event begins. The directors, senior doctors as well as the Hospital owners have attended. The face of the Earth is a little tense because the name will soon be mentioned.

"We invite Earth doctors to come forward" said the ceremony using English.

The earth rose up, tidied up her clothes then advanced forward to introduce herself.

"Good morning. I am Bumi from Indonesia. I'm a neurosurgeon. In my experience, not so much. Thank you for bringing me and giving me a better chance. I will try my best and beg for his guidance, "light the Earth, bowing her body.

All applauded, and so did the woman's doctor, even if it was just an ordinary pat.

"For the next time, we invite Atiqah doctors to introduce themselves" said the ceremony.

The doctor named Atiqah was advancing forward, passing by the Earth. Giving a small nod without a smile.

"Good morning everyone. I am Atiqah and equally from Indonesia, like doctor Bumi," - Earth stunned his name called - "I am a pediatrician. I came here because of humanity and became a volunteer representative for the branch of Jinsilhan Hospital in Ansan city. Thank you for giving us the opportunity, volunteers," Atiqah said. Closing his speech by bowing his body.

Just like the Earth, everyone clapped. Bumi and Edo clapped their hands excitedly, looking at each other giving a code of interest to Doctor Atiqah.

"It's cool, bro. Volunteer doctor" Edo whispered. The earth nodded in agreement.

His sense of regret at Atiqah immediately disappeared after knowing who the jutek doctor was. In modern times like now, there are very rarely volunteer doctors. Earth is proud to hear the representatives of its country. Atiqah does not think of himself like his career in medicine, while Bumi came all the way to South Korea for his own sake. The earth feels stifled.

"Hi, I'm Earth. Sorry about this morning," said Bumi, extending her hand to shake hands with Atiqah, after the woman's doctor stepped off the stage.

"I'm Atiqah. Sorry about this morning. It turns out that we are both in a hurry," he replied, extending a hand, accepting the Earth's office.

"I'm Edo. Doctor Edo, neurosurgeon as well" said Edo, interrupting the introduction between Atiqah and Earth.

Earth patted Edo's thigh because it had disrupted the introduction of the two of them. "Not for long" the Earth grumbled in a whisper. Atiqah smile.

The introductory event is over. Edo returned to his room, while Bumi along with Atiqah and other volunteer doctors went around the hospital. They were guided by a senior doctor.

The earth always walked behind the Atiqah, watching the interaction of the doctor with his friends.

"Doctor Earth wants to join us for lunch?" ask Atiqah.

"Yes, I want to" replied the Earth directly without making small talk.

There was already Atiqah, an Edo who took him all the way to Korea, forgotten. Edo cursed at the message he sent to Earth. Earth replied to the message with a laughing emoji.
