Love Because Love
THE INVISIBLE BOND
Laurel walked backwards until her feet hit the sofa in the living room, making Dave who continued to step towards her finally stop his steps once the distance of their bodies was only a few centimeters. Laurel's right hand held the back of the sofa behind her, keeping her body in balance so as not to fall.
"Don't forget my position in this place is as your leader, how can you say I don't have any rights over you?" Laurel turned her gaze to the side, because at this time the distance of her face and Dave who lowered his head over her face was no more than 10 cm, even because of the distance their bodies were so close Laurel could clearly smell the fresh scent of perfume from Dave's body. Laurel just hopes that at this time Dave does not hear his heartbeat that feels beating so hard, even Laurel herself feels her ears can hear clearly pounding on her chest, let alone Dave.
"Since your arrival at this hospital, this hospital you've made turns into a studio where artists and fans gather," Dave kept his body away from Laurel, let Laurel breathe with a little more relief.
"Sorry boss, I don't mean to make trouble at this hospital, my intention is to work well here" Dave moved his body to the side, with his eyes fixed on Laurel.
"You said you had a terrible love story before, hopefully in the future you are wiser when establishing relationships with men around you," Laurel was a little overwhelmed to hear Dave's words, it turns out that the conversation he had with Luciana and Nia earlier this afternoon on the volleyball court was mostly heard by Dave, including when he complained about his tragic love story.
"You said you've been married before, lest you experience such a sad story again if you can't control your relationship with the other men around you," Laurel glares in shock at Dave's words as if to insinuate him, belittling him and considering him a girl who easily connects with men, feeling humbled by Dave because Laurel knows Dave knows his status as a widow. Laurel was raised by Denia's mama who was a bit of a colot, even during her relationship with Devan, never once had they kissed, especially when she was dating Devan, she was not even 18 years old. Hearing Dave's words just now was really painful for him.
"Sorry boss, I know I have mistakes that may not be forgiven for my late husband, but the boss has no right to insult me. Thank you for tonight boss, good night," Laurel moved her body to the left, and with quick steps left the room with tears she could no longer hold.
Seeing Laurel's departure by crying Dave could only peck at where he stood, his right hand was stretched out trying to reach Laurel's arm, but hurriedly pulled back his hand, he said, he stared at Laurel's departure while taking a deep breath, then closed his eyes, after that with a giant step Dave stepped towards his room, his room, tonight she almost lost control of herself not pulling Laurel's body into her arms. Dave raised his right hand forward, his eyes on it, still clearly feeling the warmth of Laurel's body stuck to his body this afternoon, laurel's body was in the arms of his right arm after he tried to save Laurel from hitting a futsal ball that leads to his chest. Dave held his chest with his right palm, it felt as if his heart rippled and felt so sore.
Leo who had initially stepped towards the parking lot had to return because there was a file he had to learn tonight left in his office. When Leo returned to the parking lot he saw the car that used to be driven by Laurel in the position of the lights on but the car remained in place for a short time. With a slow step Leo approached the car, and from the windshield he saw the figure of Laurel with both hands coiled on the steering wheel and his head bowed above it.
Laurel immediately raised her head as soon as she heard a soft knock from the windshield of her car, and quickly wiped her tears with the back of her palm. As soon as he saw Leo beside the glass of his car, Laurel hurriedly turned her gaze the other way so that Leo would not see his face wet with tears at the moment.
Leo thrust a handkerchief towards Laurel who immediately rejected her by shaking her head. Seeing that without saying Leo put his handkerchief on top of Laurel's two hands still coiled on the steering wheel, then walked away from Laurel, leaving Laurel, because if he stays there he knows it's going to make Laurel uncomfortable.

"For the boss" Arnold, who was walking beside Laurel, greeted Dave who happened to cross paths with the two of them that morning.
"Again" Dave answered Arnold's greeting, glimpsed in Laurel's face, despite trying to hide it with makeup, Dave could see Laurel's slightly swollen and marsupial eyes. Dave can guess that last night besides crying, it seems like Laurel has a hard time sleeping, whether it's just her feelings or it's because Dave saw Laurel crying last night when she left her house, there was regret in Dave's heart considering that last night he had spoken words that made Laurel cry.
"Eh, it's almost apple time, come on, we have to hurry," Without asking Laurel's permission, Arnold pulled Laurel's arm straight away, take him for a little run towards the hall (the hall is a large room that can be used for meetings, ceremonies and so on, usually located inside the main door of a building) the hospital where they had to undergo an apple early in the morning before duty. Seeing that Dave glanced with a sharp glare towards Arnold's hand that pulled Laurel's arm, and Dave subconsciously clenched his hand tightly and instantly averted his gaze, turning his gaze away, taking a deep breath and exhaling it through the sidelines of his lips.

"Mir, you are one of the boss's men who is quite close to the boss, why do you think the boss calls me to his office again? Did I make a mistake?" Mira immediately smiled as she shook her head at Laurel's question.
"If later Laurel's doctor has met with the boss of course Laurel's doctor will know for himself," Mira tries to tactfully respond to Laurel's question.
"Come on Mir, give me a little leak," Again Mira just smiled while shaking her head, because honestly, how dare she tell the slightest secret of her boss to others. Actually, if the question is Laurel is not someone else for Dave, but Mira knows the current condition has not allowed him to say anything without the permission of Dave.
"Rather than doctor Laurel wondering why the doctor did not immediately go to the boss' office and ask the boss himself?" Laurel took a deep breath, it seemed like Mira was really a high-level loyal member, leaving her unable to pry at the slightest hint of the reason Dave had called her into his office, while Laurel herself is currently really in a bad mood mode because Dave's spicy words last night are still so ringing in her ears.
"Then tell the boss, I'll go to his office after work," Mira gasped a little at Laurel's intention to spend time facing the boss.
"Eh, doctor Laurel according to the boss's orders, you have to go there now," Laurel smiled sweetly at Mira while moving her index finger towards the watch on her hand.
"Sorry, just tell the boss, it's almost lunchtime, after the break there's a lot of patients I have to deal with in the polyclinic, anyway," after saying that Laurel immediately turned her body around, making Mira have to prevent it by pulling her arm.
"Doctor Laurel, orders from the boss." Laurel moves her head towards Mira, seeing Mira's nervous face for not succeeding in persuading Laurel to quickly meet Dave. Actually Laurel was a little sorry to see the face of Mira who was not calm, but the memory of Dave's words that were quite painful last night made him determined not to immediately obey all Dave's orders, he said, especially today.
"Just give my message to the boss, I'm a doctor who has been bound by the doctor's oath to prioritize patient safety above personal interests, so I'll see the boss later in the afternoon finished working hours,"
"But doc, the boss has already ordered a replacement doctor at the internal medicine clinic," Laurel chuckles at Mira who seems to be trying so hard to carry out an order from Dave.
"Just tell the boss, Grandma Nuri is waiting for treatment from me, if you don't mind, please the boss comes to visit the inner medicine polyclinic to meet Grandma Nuri who may have missed her so much," Laurel laughs gigglingly at the confused face of Mira, and without waiting for a reaction from Mira, Laurel removed her arm from Mira's handrails and walked straight to the canteen for lunch before returning to the internal medicine polyclinic, preparing his energy to face Grandma Nuri who today came when a few days ago just control and control schedule again is still a long time.

Laurel looked at the medical records of the patients in front of her, complications between blood sugar and high blood pressure, judging from her age which is still in the 40s, he said, there are only 2 main causes of diabetes mellitus (Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease caused by the failure of the pancreas organ to produce adequate amounts of insulin hormone that causes an increase in blood glucose levels. DM is a non-communicable disease and is an important public health issue. Classic symptoms of DM include 3P, which is polyuri (many urination, especially at night), polydipsy (easy thirst), polyphagi (easy hunger). Other nonspecific symptoms that can also appear in people with DM include rapid weight loss, fatigue, tingling in the feet and hands, itching – itching, vision becomes blurred, impotence, and, wounds are difficult to heal, whiteness, or skin disease due to fungi, especially in the folds of the skin), first because of heredity, second because of poor diet.
After doing the analysis and seeing the results of a complete blood test from the lab, Laurel immediately gave instructions to her patients how to control her diabetes. Laurel was busy writing down prescriptions for the patient in front of her when she heard the sound of her poliom door being opened by someone without a knock, and Laurel knows for sure in this hospital who can and has the power to do such an act. As soon as Laurel lifted her head, she saw that Dave had already entered the police room and closed the door again.
