Fragrant For Galih

Ep. 34 For Soto Meat

After a few minutes ago this is where the two of them, Galih and Wangi were sitting next to each other on one of the park benches in the Hospital. They were silent to each other, there was only silence left between the night wind that hit their skin. It was so awkward that one of them spoke.

"Sorry." Galih's head immediately looked towards Fragrant without a sound when the woman suddenly said sorry. But Wangi looks down embarrassed not being able to stare at Galih who is beside him.

Seeing that Galih did not say anything and just stared at him, Wangi ventured to straighten his head and returned the gaze of Galih who seemed to wait for Fragrant explanation about the apology he just said.

"I'm sorry for bothering you today and... Thank you for helping me out, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't know what to do." Says Fragrant with blushing cheeks restraining her embarrassment.

"Ohh... It's okay I understand you were in a situation you didn't expect, fortunately I just didn't get into the ladies' room, pftt..." Galih said while holding back his laughter and a second later they laughed together. Yes, fortunately, when Galih wanted to deliver a woman's permbalut for Fragrance he found a woman who happened to want to go into the toilet, eventually Galih asked the woman to bring it to Wangi. That's where Galih felt relieved for not having to sneak into the toilet like a pervert.

For a moment Galih noticed Fragrance who was laughing with him.

"Just this time I saw Fragrance laughing like this because she usually looks jutek, cute, funny, sometimes serious but her face when we first met was very funny and this time she looks beautiful when laughing loosely like this." Galih said in his heart.

It turned out that not only Galih had such thoughts, Fragrance also felt the same thing.

"It turns out this cold and stiff man can laugh freely too huh... Cute. If it is like this, the women who see it will immediately fall in love. Ahh what the hell am I?! Doesn't mean I'm in love with her, does it?" Fragrance immediately shook his head when the crazy thought crossed his mind.

"You why? You dizzy?" Galih asked slightly in panic when she saw Fragrance shaking her head.

"Huh?! Ah no, I'm not okay just that there's a mosquito passing in front of my face." Perfumed speech evasive.

"Oh kirain you are dizzy because usually women like to get dizzy if the moon comes for the first time." Galih.

"Kok you can know all that?" Wangi asked in wonder, how could Galih know something like this? Rarely do men know, right?

"Oh that... I just accidentally read it on the internet." Answer Galih who turned a little tense, he did not read it on the internet but Sinar used to like to feel dizzy if the moon is coming and Galih still remembers it clearly until now.

"Owh... So it is." Good thing that Fragrant believed him and did not ask him further.

Kruccuukk....

The two of them were stunned when they suddenly heard a voice coming from Fragrant's stomach.

"Pff... Haha... Pfft..." Galih was instantly unable to hold back his laughter again and made Fragrance feel embarrassed again. I don't know why today time does not side with Fragrance, either unlucky, somehow embarrassed, maybe he was lucky but as if today's time is playing tricks on him.

"You looking for food now? I also haven't had dinner." Galih to the point.

Fragrant nods with a face that looks like a tomato because of embarrassment while saying sorry for a few times.

"Sorry, because of me you have to skip dinner too." Said Fragrant felt very sorry to have made people's children in distress because of him.

"It's okay, it's not a problem for me. Then what if we buy food first?" Reply Galih while offering to have dinner first and Wangi nodded in agreement with a shy smile.

After that they both left the park and stepped through the hallways of the Hospital corridor to go outside.

"We're just looking for food near here, right? I can't leave the hospital for too long." Scented on Galih.

"Yes I understand, besides, there are plenty of clean and comfortable places to eat." Galih.

"Yes, the problem is usually made for employees and visitors to the Hospital if they are looking for food like us. There's actually a Hospital cafeteria but I'm too bored to eat there." Perfumed Speech.

"Emmm... What do you want to eat? We walk is okay, right?" Ask Galih.

"Well, what's wrong, anyway just close when you want to ride a car? Haha... Funny about you too." Answer Fragrant while chuckling amusedly with Galih questions that he thinks are funny.

"Emmm..." Galih cleared her throat to cover up her stupidity while Wangi just glanced at her while smacking a smile.

"I want to eat warm-warm fruiting, next to the mini market there are those who sell soto meat, quite tasty and the meat is very tender, too, but if you want to eat the others there also provide a menu option other than meat soto." Said Fragrant to answer the question Galih had not had time to answer because of Galih's silly question before.

"Okey then there's no problem right? Yuk cuss to TKP!" This time Galih who chuckled saw the uniqueness of Fragrance. The fragrance that seemed unconcerned with his image moved his legs a little faster, though, leading the way in front of Galih because of the hunger in his stomach was more important than thinking about the shame that would not make him turn full. Galih who was still smiling while shaking her head patiently followed Fragrance behind her.

Arriving at the restaurant, the two ordered the same menu, namely meat soto with added potato parchment and offal satay that looks so delicious. While Galih and Fragrance are savorily enjoying their meat soto, Elias is now parking her car in the hospital parking lot. In fact Elias had no job or emergency call from the Hospital that required him to come. It's just that today he wanted to come because all day his mind was always on Wangi. He was worried about his dear junior because it was possible that Fragrant would miss his dinner like this afternoon if the woman had been too focused on her work. Therefore now Elias came with a tote bag containing food and also a light snack for him to love to Wangi. With a smile he stepped into the Hospital and the very rare sight was not separated from the view of the Hospital employees who were there. Starting through the lobby to go to the room for general surgeon Elias still develops his smile while greeting some employees who cross paths with him, making some employees who know him goosebumps seeing changes in Elias.

"Doctor Elias ate wrong? It's not unusual for him to smile so richly, hii... How come I get goosebumps?" Said one of the female nurses who just passed by Elias a moment ago.

"Huss! Ngaco! Maybe the feeling of his heart is good again, again happy that way, just ignore it... It's even good when else can you see Doctor Elias' charming smile?" Another female nurse.

"Yes too... It can be so sweet, because it's so handsome." Reply to the other nurse while smiling to himself.

Now Elias who was in front of the door of the general surgical room immediately opened the door handle of the room.

"Good night everyone..." Greet Elias to the guard doctor who was there when he entered the room.

"Lho... Doctor Elias? How is the doctor here? This isn't the doctor's schedule to keep?" Farel asked, astonished to see Elias outside the man's work schedule.

"Is there an emergency, Doc? There is no emergency patient..." Lukman chimed in while recalling some of the patients they were treating.

"Indeed, it's just that I happen to pass around here all bringing food for you, night work is sometimes hungry." Said Elias make an excuse not to be too obvious if he had deliberately come for Fragrance.

Lukam and Farel glanced at each other. You can guess what is on their minds right now. Unreasonable coincidence and suspicious kindness. That's what they're thinking right now.

Elias circled his gaze around the room and stopped at the Fragrant desk. He still saw books, laptops and fragrant bags in place but the owner was not there making Elias frown.

"By the way... Where is Doctor Fragrant? Are you checking the patient?" Ask Elias at last.

Not yet Lukman maupu Farel answer questions Elias, one of the senior doctors named Wigih came and answered Elias's questions. It just so happened that Wigih heard Elias question as he was about to enter the room whose door was left open.

"If you were looking for Doctor Fragrance earlier I saw that I was eating together with his friend at a meat soto stall near the mini market." Reveal Wigih, the youngest doctor and professor in the general surgery department is no less handsome than Elias but unfortunately he just got married a month ago and just returned from his honeymoon a few days ago.

"Ah good night Professor Wigih, are you still on duty?" Elias immediately greeted the professor when he saw him coming suddenly from behind him.

"Yes, this afternoon there was an operation but I have not been able to go home because I have to monitor my patients and I happened to overhear your chat when I was about to return to my room, sorry if I interrupted." Professor Wigih.

"That's okay, Prof, thanks for the info." Elias replied with a friendly smile.

"Together, if Dr. Elias wanted to see Doctor Fragrance right now, he might still be there. Oh maybe it's better later, because it looks like Doctor Fragrance is dating." Professor Wigih said that Elias' heart stopped beating.

"Haha... I was joking, maybe the guy was a brother or just a friend. Then I went back to my room first to pack home, my wife waited alone at home." Casually Professor Wigih said that, patting Elias on the shoulder and then walking away.

Elias is only glued to the spot, while Lukman and Farel look back at each other, guessing what Elias is currently thinking until he is unable to answer his Professor's joke just now.

"I'll go back first." Pamit Elias suddenly.

"Lho... Doctor doesn't wait for Doctor Fragrance first? Or do you want to take him to the place where Professor Wigih intended to eat?" Chirps Lukman who immediately got a shot from Farel.

"Emmm... Just look at it later." Answer Elias. "Then I go first." Further.

"Oh yes Doc please, thanks for the food." Farel replied and was also replied with a nod by Elias.

Elias stepped away from there with an erratic feeling. Although Professor Wigih's speech was just a joke, to Elias it sounded as if it was the real thing. The smile that came out of his lips that was seen when he came was faded when he came out of the Hospital. Unexpectedly from a distance Elias saw Fragrance walking side by side with Galih who seemed to be about to return to the Hospital. Elias quickly stepped out of the hospital yard and headed straight to the parking lot of his car.

Elias went straight into his car, he didn't want Fragrant to see his stupid face at this moment. From inside his car Elias sees Wangi walking alone with Galih with an occasional smile on his lips. Of course, that made Elias a little frustrated.

"Scented... Am I really late?" Mumbled himself.

Seriate...
