Love Because Love
HELPER GOD
Devan washes his hands in the hospital bathroom quickly, trying to clean up the traces of Laurel's blood stuck to his arms and clothes while looking at the glass above the sink.
Finally Devan re-lit the water faucet, took the water with his palm and washed his messy-looking face. Finished drying his face and hands with tissue Devan walked in a slight haste out of the bathroom towards the operating room.
Devan immediately got up from the chair lined up in front of the operating room, as soon as he saw the door open, a doctor and a nurse came out of the operating room.
“Doctor, how is the condition of my girlfriend?” The doctor scrunched his eyebrows slightly at Devan's question.
Before answering Devan's question, the doctor removed the mask covering his face. Devan was a little surprised, because it turns out the doctor looks young, mixed-faced, not the face of a native Indonesian.
After the mask was removed Devan only noticed that the doctor had light brown eyes, not like Asian eyes in general.
“You're the mistress's lover who just had a stabbing?” Devan nodded quickly at the doctor's question.
“How's the story? Why is there such a stabbing? Does anyone have a grudge against that miss?” Devan slightly furrowed his brows, he should have asked about Laurel's condition, but why now was the doctor as if he was interrogating her like a father who found and caught her daughter wet going out with his male friend without permission.
“Ehmmm, anu doctor, I don't know. But Laurel is a good girl, there can't be anyone who holds a grudge against her,” The doctor took a deep breath, his forehead slightly wrinkled as if he was thinking of something, he said, a moment later his head turned towards the operating room door whose lights had been turned off, marked that there was no operating activity in the room.
“Dok, so, how is Laurel's condition?” The doctor looked back at Devan.
“Oooo, she's fine, soon the nurse will take her to the room, she must be hospitalized to make sure everything is fine post-surgery. We will observe for 24 hours, if his condition is stable, he can go home for outpatient treatment,” Devan breathed a sigh of relief hearing the doctor's explanation just now.
“Luckily the dagger puncture is not too deep and does not hit the internal organs, all will be fine and hopefully no further infection occurs, he said,” Somehow Devan felt the doctor who handled Laurel looks so concerned about Laurel's condition.
Devan tries to remember whether Laurel has a brother or an acquaintance of a doctor, and as Devan remembers is completely absent.
“Ok, I have to take care of other patients, please complete your data as a guardian of the lady,” Devan nodded at the request of the doctor.
“Thank you doctor,” Devan immediately thanked and the young doctor immediately walked away from Devan.
“Devan! What happened to Laurel?” Denia, Laurel's mother ran along with Freya towards Devan who was still standing pensively in front of the operating room.
Devan had not had time to answer the door of the operating room back open, seen a nurse was pushing a thrust gurney (a bed used for emergency beds and patient transfers. Transfer of patients here is to move patients from one place to another easily. The use of this gurney is not only limited to moving patients between rooms. But the patient's gurney can also be used for patient transfer to and from the ambulance. The patient's safe is complete with wheels and an infuse pole) with the still unconscious Laurel lying on top of it.
Denia immediately approached the gurney and followed the nurse who pushed her into a room. Devan can only follow Mama Laurel behind him.
“Suster, how is my child's condition?” Denia's face looked really anxious, the nurse carrying Laurel just smiled.
“Ehm, sister, can my child be moved from this room to another classroom?” The sister slightly furrowed her brows at Denia's request.
“Sorry ma'am, I do not dare, the placement of patients to this room on direct orders from doctors who do treatment to patients, if you object you can discuss it with him, he said,” Denia frowned after hearing the nurse's answer.
“Good sister, thank you,” Denia took a deep breath, not that she did not want Laurel to get treatment with the best facilities, but considering her current financial condition, she said, he really had no idea where he would get the money to pay for all the hospital fees later.

Laurel got up from her seat on her bedroom bed, standing in front of the makeup glass in her room.
He carefully lifted his t shirt so that he could see the scar on his right waist. It no longer causes pain, only sometimes when he moves too quickly still feels a little pain.
Laurel took a deep breath, the pain from the puncture wound from an unknown person a month ago was still in effect, but she could endure it, but the pain from her aching heart was really hard for her to forget.
Since the stabbing incident two days later Devan disappeared without a trace, even when he returned from the hospital, Devan did not appear at all.
Not picking him up or giving him news, even all the texts and phone calls from him were not reciprocated by Devan, instead he heard the news suddenly Devan had returned to Australia without giving him news.
When Laurel tries to ventured to contact her parents, the answer she gets is that Devan is concentrating on her studies, so it's better for the time being that Laurel forgets Devan and doesn't bother her. Really painful answer.
But the most painful thing was that when Devan for a month could not be contacted at all, one of Laurel's friends who also attended college in Australia updated the status of a photo, there Devan was seen, he said, friend Laurel and a pretty blonde girl kiss Devan on the cheek, with the caption on her status reading “Today happened to cross paths with Boss Devan and his girlfriend.” Seeing the status of the medsos Laurel can only take a deep breath. Devan's actions are really painful, when he slumped Devan came as if offering help, but a second later he disappeared and suddenly heard the news he already had a new girlfriend, he said, and shamelessly show their affection.
Laurel closed her eyes, thinking back to what happened a month ago, remembering the stabbing.
In a semi-conscious state, Laurel does not hear Devan calling her name, some people were busy pushing his body lying on a bed into the room from which Laurel could guess that it was a hospital ER. Moments later Laurel heard a voice running towards her.
From the end of her eyes that were opened a little half-conscious and not Laurel saw a young male figure dressed as a typical doctor, with brownish-colored hair, approaching towards her.
“Laurel Tanputra?” A soft voice sounded saying his name.
“True doctor, this lady is named Laurel Tanputra,” There was a voice answer from the nurse who was standing near Laurel's head lying. The doctor lowered his body, his eyes looking at the stab wound on Laurel's right waist seriously.
At first glance Laurel had seen the doctor's eyes look at her face deeply, as if she knew Laurel. Eyes sharp and soft light brown, which until this moment really makes him curious who the doctor soft-eyed light brown.
“Prepare immediately operating room, I myself will do the action,” The soft voice was again heard sluggish in Laurel's ear which some time later his consciousness again disappeared.
