Forced to Marry an Actor

Acquaintance In Forging(pi)tan

Tok Tok!

Arista and Chicha were shocked by the knocking on her bedroom door. Who came to their room when none of them knew and planned to come to this room.

The door shifted. A man in a white robe and shiny shoes came inside.

Both of them were more shocked because the one who came was the doctor who helped Arista earlier.

He was carrying a plastic bag containing bandages and medicine. There's an orange in that plastic, too.

The doctor thrust plastic at Arista.

"Th-this is what Doc?" asked Arista awkwardly accepting it.

The doctor looked at Arista's arm, had been treated but only covered in plaster. She had asked the nurse who was treating Chicha's arm for plaster. Chicha's injured hand has now been bandaged and the infusion needle has moved to the other arm.

The doctor violently grabbed Arista's arm and mercilessly pulled out the plaster.

Arista screamed in pain, Chicha was also almost ready to kick the doctor.

"You see?" He picked up the plaster of Arista that was already full of blood.

"It turns out to be true said the nurse, it turns out you stubbornly do not want to be treated and just ask for plaster alone."

The doctor grabbed the plastic and took the gauze and pressed down on Arista's wound. Although Arista's pain was holding back to shout, but he looked grimacing.

"Doctor what is my friend doing?!" chicha asked ferociously, the end of the doctor suddenly just came in and did as he pleased with Arista.

The doctor looked at Chicha coldly. "Don't you see I'm treating him? Who should have asked me, why did you just shut up when you saw your friend get hurt and let him refuse to be treated? While your wounds are so neatly maintained, so selfish!"

Chicha widened his eyes but finally lowered his head in shame, he knew he was wrong and had no words to say for his self-defense.

Arista saw Chicha moody being unwell. "So Chicha had already persuaded me to treat him, but I thought my wounds were not too severe, hence.."

This time the doctor's cold gaze was fixed on Arista making the girl stop her speech.

Suddenly the doctor took Arista to the sink to wash his wounds in running water to remove germs and bacteria before being treated. Arista though surprised but he did not refuse, somehow he just frowned. It was as if his heart allowed the doctor to behave as he pleased. Because he knew, this doctor was now helping to treat the wound on his arm.

Once enough was felt, the doctor brought Arista to his seat again. "My name is Indra. So you don't have to ask me who I am anymore. I'm Indra, and obviously I'm a doctor." Indra introduced herself without being asked.

Indra took an antibiotic ointment and applied it to Arista's wound slowly. After that he covered the wound with a film dressing bandage so that the wound remains protected despite a lot of friction and serves to keep the wound dry.

"The nurse said your name was Arista and your friend Chicha. Aren't you?" The doctor suddenly opened the conversation and the first thing he asked was their names. Probably not asking but making sure.

"Are you FBI? Or CIA?" chicha asked around her eyes, "why are you trying to figure out who we are?"

Indra has finished bandaging Arista's wounds. "Eitherway. I never found out. But your behavior was apparently a warm conversation among health workers here. Rumors about who you are have quickly spread by word of mouth. And where your room is also they already know all, including me who can't close my ears even for this kind of gossip that often I don't really want to hear."

"Didn't want to hear but kepo too, at most can nguping!" chicha's voice is slow but Indra's ears are very active in responding.

"I hear you, girl! I'm not the type to eavesdrop and gossip. But often I just hear, or even thanks to my popularity a lot of doctors and nurses always give me reports about anything without me asking." Indra casually explained while peeling the orange she brought earlier, she split it in half. Half for Arista, the girl accepted it with thanks. And another one for... Chicha had already stretched out her hand she knew it was part for her.

But Chicha's guess is wrong!

The other half was eaten by Indra. Chicha bengong was inexhaustible. Then Indra who saw the mouth of Chicha enlarged then skinned the orange and gave the skin to Chicha.

"This orange peel is great for natural fragrances. You can squeeze this orange peel until the water comes out and rub it in the hand," said Indra with a plain look.

Chicha took a deep breath removing the skin from her hand. Put it on the table next to his bed.

Arista who saw it split his orange on Chicha. But prevented by Indra.

"I bring this orange not to be shared with patients, but for me to eat as a snack. And that doesn't mean you can share it with anyone just because I gave it to you. You have to get my permission first if you want to give it to someone else."

"Pardon me. I didn't think up to it." replied Arista clumsily.

Chicha stared at the cynical Indra. "You want what the hell came here? I am not your patient! Besides why you feel relaxed here even though your other colleagues are racing to save the lives of patients! Eating blind pay, huh?" ask Chicha. Arista. He did not think his friend knew the term blind salary.

Indra squealed withholding laughter. "Ups sorry. I came only because of the incitement of my own mind telling me to come to this place. And for the part about my other colleagues who were saving patients' lives while I was relaxing here it was because of my right. It's not my duty hour anymore, so it's up to me where I want to be. Even though I should be home by now, take a hot shower and sleep well. But seeing your behavior earlier made me curious, plus the stubborn Arista did not want to be treated. Roughly speaking, I came here not as a doctor but as someone who is interested in you."

Arista and Chicha's mouth was open. It feels like prank! There is a doctor like this who uses his position to meet people he does not know just to fulfill his curiosity and interest!

"That means the doctor came here only as a stranger? As if to come and treat me as I please? And stupidly I just want to take the treatment of the doctor on me? You're playing me? You said no gossiping, eavesdropping and so on but came straight here to find out for yourself? Like that? I think you are a doctor who has the attention to help people based on personal instinct but only you are here just because of an interest? What is it that makes you interested? Or who is interested in you? Me? Chicha?"

As it sobered up, Indra scratched her face. "I'm not playing you at all. I came here upset to see your actions refusing to be treated, therefore.."

"So from that Doctor Indra did as he pleased with me, on behalf of treating the injured person? And now I also just realized, indeed what doctors treat strangers according to hospital procedures? Is it legal?"

Indra gasped to hear it.

"Usually how many doctors receive payment for treating wounds like mine? And how much do these medicines cost me? Let me pay. I don't want to get into trouble for the Doctor's current behavior!" Arista shook as he said that. He had already endured his wounds so as not to buy medicine, he was also afraid of being paid if he received treatment at this hospital even though this was a minor injury. Because he knew, he had to be frugal and should be able to manage his finances. Where these two days he has taken a day off work, automatically his salary next month will be cut by several hundred thousand, and for him several hundred thousand is very valuable.

Indra was wrong. Only this time did he get a rejection of his charm that he had always been proud of. He came indeed with the intention of wanting to approach Arista and give a good image at the first meeting. He had even noticed Arista the first time he came to this hospital when he ran around carrying Chicha.

This morning when his duty hour was over. He was about to go to the lab with a nurse before he came home. That's when Indra accidentally saw Arista involved in a commotion. Plus a child she knew as one of her patients had shortness of breath. Immediately he had the nurse take the child to receive treatment and thoughtlessly ran towards Arista just as she was about to punch. Indra's heart skipped a beat as it grabbed onto her arm before it completely hit Arista's face. When the mother looked at him, Indra immediately realized the condition of her child who was struggling to get help so that the mother was hysterical and chased to where her child was taken.

Although this was no longer his practice schedule, however the child was one of his patients, so he followed them.

Indra scratched his chin. Looks like oppa korea turned out not to interest Arista at all. Even the help he gave sincerely did not touch Arista's heart. Instead of being moved he was angry after knowing the purpose of his arrival here for what. Arista was completely different from any other girl he had ever known, who was willing to be approached for a little while, was given little attention and his heart immediately flowered. All the women who were treated like that always had their faces red. Arista was the same, but the red hue was not the result of the flowers blooming overhead, but because the lava of anger began to explode there.

"I thank the Doctor for helping me. But I couldn't accept this help for free, so I had the Doctor calculate how much total I had to pay," said Arista again wanted to immediately end this meeting and let the doctor go immediately.

Indra with her innocent face as if she was thinking, she also pretended to count her fingers.

"alright. You just have to pay me 5 million!" answer Indra set the price.

Arista almost fainted hearing that. Chicha also almost stood up punching the doctor but his infusion was interested in restraining his body. The pain ran through Chicha's arm.

"What kind of treatment costs that much? You crazy?" pekik Chicha was angry.

"I'm not crazy. Isn't Arista the one who asked me to comment?" answer Indra casually.

Arista looked at Indra no less calmly. "Would it be with 5 million self-esteem that I can report to IDI? Will the Indonesian Doctors Association understand your actions?"

Indra was shocked. Arista was not playing, his strategy was too far to bully Indra.

Indra put on a clumsy face. "H-haha.. Ja.. Yes geez.. Why are you taking it so seriously? I was just kidding!"

Arista narrowed his two eyes cynically, while Chicha snorted in annoyance.

"I will not take into account the help I have given and will not ask for it in return with money. Let's just say I give help to people who are in trouble. Shouldn't humans help each other?" tanya Indra displayed a smile, there was a dimple on her left cheek. Plus dazzling bright brown eyes. It's more suitable to be a boyband than a doctor.

Actually this doctor is sweet, but unfortunately it sucks!

"But I don't want to take help for free. I don't want to go into debt" Arista is still tight-lipped, but she wants to pay the favor wisely according to the price Indra paid to buy her medicine and her bandages and services. The point is Arista wants a reasonable price!

"I told you not to be paid with money. But if you're so cool, I'm also confused to make you repay my help this how. Then..," Indra pulled out his business card and gave the card to Arista, "later you call me so I can save your number and call you if I ever need help. Okay?"

Arista received a card offered by Indra. "Ta. but I don't want to,..."

Indra raised her hand. "I don't accept any excuses. If you object to repaying my help, at least you accept my help for free and do not need to feel sorry. You are human and I am human too. It's our job to help each other."

Indra like thickening his ears, he ignored the call Arista who prevented him from leaving because for the girl this business is not finished. But Indra with a satisfied smile stepped foot out of Chicha's room.

In my heart I felt winning. Indeed, he sincerely helped Arista, but it was not without cause but because he also wanted to get to know Arista more closely and took advantage of this opportunity to exchange contacts so that they could be more interconnected in the future.

You are smart Indra! thought Indra girang.

Chicha snatches the card from Arista's hand and reads it aloud: Indra Jonathan - Pediatrician. Below is a phone number that can be contacted.

"Arista, it looks like the doctor likes you" Chicha said, returning the card.

"Hush! Can't be. At least he doesn't have a doang job, a caper guy who ticks a doctor. At most he's a leak, still an intern."

"Yes though caper, but it is undeniable that he is handsome right, hihihi.." said Chicha giggling, "part of the time the intern but already have a business card. The name of the hospital is also listed there. Doesn't that mean he's the doctor here?"

"Do not know ah! Don't ask me, you ask him yourself! If you're interested in him, you keep his business card."

"For what, Arista? Why would I be interested in her if she doesn't want me and is only interested in you?"

Arista shrugged his shoulders. "What's wrong with you guys first acquaintance, right?" ask Arista.

It is true Arista remark, there is no harm Indra and Chicha acquaintance first. But without him knowing apparently this speech will backfire on him.
