Love Because Love

THERE'S FOR YOU

Laurel moved her body to rise from her sleep suddenly because she realized that she had accidentally fallen asleep on the sofa, removed the blanket that covered her body. He furrowed his brows for a moment, as he remembered that he was reading a book about neurosurgery when suddenly he could no longer hold back his sleepiness and fell asleep, and who had enveloped his body earlier. The book he had read was already lying neatly on the table near the sofa he fell asleep just now.

As soon as Laurel got up and looked towards the door of the room surrounded by glass, Laurel saw the figure of Dave's body standing looking towards the path made from neatly arranged pieces of natural stone. Dave's left hand appears to be inserted into his pants pocket, while his right hand appears to hold a glass. By looking at Dave's back who was still wearing official clothes, it felt like Laurel could feel that something was wrong that had happened to her. Hearing a rustling sound, Dave immediately turned his body and faced Laurel.

When he saw Dave not moving from his position, Laurel stepped closer to him. As soon as they faced Laurel clearly seeing Dave's eyes that looked so red, it was clear that his eyes showed signs that the man was crying, his face looked crumpled and completely tired. Laurel takes a deep breath, seeing Dave's condition, she can immediately guess what happened to the patient who was Dave's cousin.

"Boss has done his best," Hearing Laurel's words, Dave immediately takes his eyes off Laurel, apparently not wanting Laurel to see her eyes back in tears, because he feels like a failure.

"His operation went well, but he had heart failure (heart failure is a condition when the heart is unable to pump blood and oxygen effectively to all organs of the body that need it. As a result many organ functions would be disrupted), I could not help him, I could not save him," Dave said in a soft voice while lowering his head, saying, it was clear there was a deep tone of regret from Dave's words.

Laurel knows that Dave is holding himself back from crying in front of her, and that makes Laurel misbehave, because she herself is awkward about being there. Laurel knows clearly, as a doctor it's definitely not the first time Dave has seen someone's death, but how much a doctor has seen it, sometimes it's not that a doctor becomes immune, it is sometimes even more stirred emotions, especially if the death is experienced by people who are known or those closest to him, who certainly often assume the doctors are gods who are considered to have the ability to save them.

"The human race we can never know the boss. Don't torture yourself too much with guilt, we humans can only try our best, God determines the end" Dave raised his head while taking a deep breath, for a moment he remained silent, until he finally turned his head towards Laurel, only this time Laurel saw the gentle gaze of the eagle eyes. Although the owner of the eyes looked at Laurel without a smile on his lips because he had just lost one of his brothers, but the gentle gaze was really electrifying Laurel.

"Thank you for being with me today" Laurel nodded softly at Dave's thanks, and then Laurel glanced at the watch in her hand that had shown at 3am, seeing Laurel's actions, and then at her, looks like Dave can guess what Laurel's thinking.

"It's early morning, I don't want to take you home, but it doesn't feel right for a girl to come home at 3 a.m. You better rest in the guest room on the west side. The room was used by my sister, in her closet there were some new clothes that she had never worn, if you don't mind, just wear one of her clothes." Laurel furrowed her brows, trying to think whether she should accept the offer from Dave or reject it.

"Don't worry my sister won't mind, after all it looks like your body size isn't much different, most likely one of those new outfits is a match for you," Seeing Laurel remained silent without responding, Dave coded Bi Yuni so that Bi Yuni approached them.

"Let's non, I'll take it there so that non can rest even for a while," Bi Yuni pulled Laurel's hand gently and intended to take her towards the stairs to the 2nd floor.

"Eh, briefly bi," Dave who had initially turned his body back towards the path, again moved his body facing towards Laurel heard the voice of rejection from Laurel.

"Sorry boss, it doesn't feel appropriate for a girl to stay at a single man's house, would it not be better for me to just go home. The boss didn't have to bother driving me, I happened to bring my sister's car yesterday." Dave put the glass in his right hand on the table.

"You don't have to worry, in 5 minutes I'll be gone, however I have to help my cousin's funeral," Laurel was stunned, actually she wanted to keep rejecting Dave's offer, but it feels Dave's sad face is enough to be a compelling reason for Laurel to cancel her intention to argue with the man.

"You don't have to think about anything, this house is my private area, no one will dare to approach this place without my permission." Dave grabbed his jacket lying on the seat near where he was standing, then grabbed the keys of the car lying on the table near the entrance.

"So that you feel comfortable I'd better leave now," Without waiting for an answer from Laurel, Dave immediately opened the door of his house and walked out leaving Laurel with Bi Yuni, walk down the path between his home and office.

As soon as Dave got out of his house, Bi Yuni immediately took Laurel up the stairs to the room mentioned by Dave earlier. As soon as he entered the door of the room made of glass, Bi Yuni picked up the remote that was near the entrance, then press a button so that suddenly the room that was entirely glass walled that initially seemed transparent it slowly turned dark, so that like a wall, it could no longer be penetrated by the eye. After that Bi Yuni walked towards the wardrobe in the corner of the room.

"Non, please choose non sleeping clothes, tomorrow after bathing non can wear work clothes here," Bi Yuni pointed to the closet that is next to the newly opened closet.

"Yes bi," Laurel answered briefly, because to be honest she could not yet think what she should do now in this foreign place.

After cleaning herself and wearing one of the nightgowns, Laurel stepped towards the bed, trying to lay her body down to rest for a while as she had to get back to work this morning. Suddenly Laurel remembered something, grabbed her phone, saw a message or call on her phone, because she did not come home all night Freya let alone mama Denia worried. But what Laurel was worried about did not happen at all, it turned out that there was not a single message or miscall from the two people, making Laurel take a deep breath, trying to think if something had happened at home, he said, until the two people closest to him did not care at all he did not go home overnight without giving news.

Mommy morning, sorry, Laurel didn't come home last night because there were patients to deal with, are mama and Freya okay? Laurel pressed the send (sending) sign on her phone screen, and no more than 1 minute later was seen notification of a reply message from Mama Denia. Laurel glanced at the clock on the wall of the room which showed at 3:30 in the morning. Since her mother started the wet cake business Laurel knew her mother always woke up at 3 am to start making cakes, therefore Laurel always asked for a maximum of 9 pm Denia mama must have slept, so she had to have a bed, in order to get enough rest, although often his mother broke the rule if she was waiting for Laurel to come home late from the hospital.

Everything is fine at home, take care of your health. Seeing the reply message from her mother that was so short to her, Laurel immediately scrunched her forehead. No questions, no protests, really something strange because Laurel knew once her mother was a strict woman against her children's curfew. Once he saw Freya breaking the curfew with her lover, even though it was only 10 minutes late, Denia's mama was already standing waiting faithfully near the entrance, and so saw their two figures, he said, mama Denia immediately called them and gave a long talk to the two of them, making Laurel between pity but also feel amused.

Laurel tries to think about what happened so that her mother doesn't seem to care about her not coming home all night without news. Laurel wondered if her mom would still be so careless if she found out last night she didn't come home because she was actually on duty at the hospital, especially if until his mother found out that he was currently at his boss' house, but not to mention he found the answer to the question in his own mind, it seems that drowsiness overcame his mind, making him fall back asleep.

"Beautiful morning, it seems that the more beautiful you are," Laurel was a little stretched because suddenly Arnold had walked beside her, between her and Luciana.

"You're not tired of flirting with people?" Laurel looked at Arnold with a light laugh, while Arnold immediately put both palms on his chest looking at Laurel's laughter in the style of someone who seemed to be hit by a stab in his chest.

"Truly the goddess aphrodite (Aphrodite was the goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and procreation in Greek mythology, associated, and often depicted with the sea, dolphins, swans, pigeons, apples, roses, limes, limes, and other animals, sticks, shells, myrtle trees, mussels, and pearls will not dare to be paired with you, through the look of your eyes, it feels like a cupid god too (Cupid is a Roman god of love. Another name for this god is Amor. As Amor, he was depicted as a mischievous little winged boy, and carrying a bow and arrow, which could make both humans and gods fall in love) had managed to shoot my heart," Laurel laughs at whether it's a compliment or just an Arnold romp.

"It's really your number-one bouncer, though," Laurel said as she pretended to pinch Arnold's arm, who immediately pretended to grimace in pain, but Laurel laughed, Arnold and Lusiana stopped immediately when they saw the three of them standing, from the opposite direction saw Dave and Hana walking in tandem toward the three of them.

"For the boss," Dave smiled with a warm look at the greeting from Luciana, but Dave's gaze changed as his eyes glanced at Laurel, sharp and cold, leaving Laurel quite surprised. Dave's deadly glances are just fleeting, maybe only Laurel sees and feels them, because she's the one who's experienced them, and Laurel can only hold her breath seeing that. If he told the other employees here no one would believe their boss was so kind, friendly and polite as to do that to Laurel, after all for what their boss who had nothing to do with Laurel was being unfriendly like that for no apparent reason.

After the incident 2 days ago in the private building Dave indeed Laurel has not met again with Dave, because for 2 days Dave did not come to work at the hospital, because for 2 days Dave did not come to work at the hospital, probably because he was still busy with his cousin's funeral procession. But at this moment Laurel really did not expect today the cold and sharp gaze back she got from Dave, as if the gentle gaze of Dave that night was just a dream in broad daylight.

"Morning, don't forget today there was a rehearsal for the IDI birthday race," Dave reminded of the practice later at 4 pm on the hospital field in the southern part of the hospital building.

"Ready boss! Don't worry, since two days ago we've been training hard, hopefully the results don't disappoint," Dave smiled at the optimistic words of Luciana who signed up for the women's basketball team.

"Two days I don't have time to supervise your training, later in the afternoon I will try to come see,"

"Yes!" Arnold was immediately excited, because if the boss had joined definitely the exercise this afternoon there would certainly be special consumption support not as usual dry kerontang if they did the exercise themselves.
