Love Because Love

APPROACHES

Throughout the apple this morning Laurel was more daydreaming, all night she could not sleep well because she remembered about the events of the previous afternoon with Dave. He really did not understand the meaning of Dave's words that afternoon. Laurel tries to remember what mistakes she made so Dave put out such words, but still he feels he never did anything wrong to Dave, unless the feeling of palpitations with Dave or his love for men is considered to be something wrong, though he made sure to himself he personally never intentionally or overtly showed his love for Dave because of Hana's existence.

"Laurel...," Hearing the slow whispers of Luciana Laurel gasped in shock, a glance at Dave who was initially standing in front of the Leo who gave a briefing on some new patient cases that occurred yesterday. As Laurel looked at Dave, who to Laurel this morning looked a little pale, and by chance Dave's gaze also changed from looking at Leo to being directed towards him. As soon as their eyes met, Dave smiled gently, making Laurel look to her left right, in disbelief that Dave was smiling at her at the moment, but he saw that everyone was focusing on seeing the data presented on the screen in front of the room. Seeing that Laurel hastily turned her gaze away, not daring to turn her eyes toward Dave again, not wanting to hope for anything more, not daring to, moreover, once getting a gentle gaze from Dave his chest felt thumping violently.

I don't care in any way that I'll take you to my side, right now I don't want to wear a mask in front of you anymore, I won't let anyone else take the chance to snatch you away from me, Dave whispered softly in his heart as his eyes looked towards Laurel who was visibly trying to avoid his gaze, seeing that Dave sighed softly.

I'm sorry, it seems like all this time I've made you even more uncomfortable with me, you don't know how tormented I am at seeing your presence near me without me being able to pull you closer to me, Dave said inwardly as he turned his eyes back the other way so that Laurel would not feel awkward.

I've made the mistake of forcing you to be bound by my side without you knowing who I am. But I'm sorry, even after more than 7 years, until this second I'm still not willing to let go of this bond, I can't afford to let you go. This time I'm going to chase you, make you fall in love with me, and I'm going to do everything I can to take you to my side, Dave said in his heart as he looked at his phone screen, his eyes looked at a contact number with the owner's profile photo, the same photo as the photo attached to Laurel's room, a picture of Laurel in her wedding dress, and the number was written mo cuisle by Dave since he first kept the number more than 7 years ago. (mo cuisle is Irish, which means my pulse, which is my pulse, or it can be interpreted as a darling, is one of the affectionate calls in Irish).

Last night Dave made a long phone call with Freya, asked her about Freya and Denia's mom, and they both unknowingly talked about Laurel, and from Freya also Dave got information about Laurel's views on him all along. Dave knew he wasn't a man like Arnold who could clearly show his love even in front of others without any intention of covering it up, but he also did not realize that his actions had made Laurel misunderstand his actions, because for him all this time he tried to be cold towards Laurel because he did not want himself to not be able to control himself when he was near Laurel.

If only to be honest, every look at the figure of Laurel the first thing Dave wants to do is pull Laurel's body into his arms, holding her hand tightly so that she can no longer get away from him. All this time he tried hard to restrain himself by trying to be cold to Laurel, but secretly kept observing everything the girl did, trying to protect the girl without her knowledge, this includes when Dave decided to move from Oxford University to Harvard University 7 years ago.

All he did was that for 5 years he specialized in neurosurgery and he could stay close to Laurel and help Laurel in silence, including all the scholarships and some of Laurel's needs during her college course up until now Laurel never knew about any of it, yang Laurel knows that all the scholarships she gets come from the university side, and all her living expenses during her time there other than her part time work she got them from Aunt Lina, she said, while in fact long before Aunt Lina told him about the decline in economic conditions due to her struggling business, actually, Aunt Lina is no longer able to support the cost of Laurel and Dave who replaced her by still using the name of Aunt Lina.

That afternoon Laurel, Nia, Luciana, and Indah spent their break in the cafeteria while enjoying lunch there. Laurel sat next to Beautiful, while Luciana and Nia sat next to each other, in front of Laurel. With the spirit of Beautiful tells about the arrival of Grandma Nuri and her granddaughter this morning who had made a scene poly internal disease. Incidentally in the canteen lived the four of them.

After enjoying lunch, other employees prefer to rest in their respective offices or in hospital parks that have many gazebos (Gazebo is one of the facilities with open spaces as an alternative place to gather and do relaxing activities with other family members, many also call saung because it is used for a relaxing place. The key is natural ambience, familiarity, comfort and beauty, generally made of bamboo or wood with a more permanent floor and roof) and concrete chairs for relaxing, relaxing, and relaxing, so they can joke and laugh as much in the cafeteria that afternoon looks quiet (quiet), only the four of them who still survive in the cafeteria that afternoon, chatting while enjoying a few snacks from the canteen.

"O yeah? It looks like a big scene," Nia laughs at the Beautiful story of how she had to overcome Nuri's grandmother and her determined granddaughter to meet Dave and Laurel's husband as Dave had promised some time before the last time they met Laurel and Dave.

"I've been sweating coldly, unable to cope with them anymore," Laurel was seen blushing her face hearing the story about Grandma Nuri and her granddaughter, which she had, feeling a little embarrassed because today the entire hospital was horrendous by the story about the actions of Grandma Nuri and her granddaughter because of her.

"Luckily the boss immediately came and calmed Grandma Nuri, even the boss said the doctor's husband Laurel gave her the authority to see them, because at first it was the boss who said Laurel's doctor was married, so they insisted on meeting doctor Laurel's husband," Luciana laughed at the story of Indah.

"Then what happens next?" Hearing Nia's question, Beautiful shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know, because after that the boss invited them to speak privately in the hospital's living room, after which I didn't see Grandma Nuri and her granddaughter again, it seems like the boss has been able to handle them well, somehow, but for sure the Boss is really great, there doesn't seem to be any problem that he can't solve," Nia smiled at the beautiful words that seemed so excited when mentioning about Dave.

"It seems like you are so amazed by the boss," Nia looked towards Indah while smiling seductively, making Indah laugh.

"Who in this hospital doesn't admire our boss? He's an incomparable great man, I can't believe that the doctors including you guys don't admire our boss either" Beautiful said as she looked towards Nia with laughter still on her lips.

"Rather than me, it seems like the girl who is really commensurate with the boss is just doctor Laurel, to be honest even though doctor Hana always follows wherever the boss goes, for me the most suitable partner for the boss is still doctor Laurel, the man is handsome and dignified, full of charisma, although our boss is a quiet person but he is a kind and friendly person, while Laurel's doctor is beautiful and her face is always beaming, she said, doctor Laurel is always cheerful, so happy to see you two juxtaposed. Doc, although a fellow woman, I really idolize you," Laurel's face flushed a little to hear a beautiful word that seemed sincere, not just a word to look for face.

"Tuh, listen Laurel, even Beautiful supports you to pursue the boss," Laurel smiled at the words of Luciana.

"You're so wrong, I deserve to be paired with the boss, he's too good for me, after all it seems like there's someone else the boss likes, anyway,"

"O yeah? How does Dr. Laurel know there's someone I like?" Laurel immediately gasped at the sound of someone saying near her ear just now, a familiar voice. Seeing Laurel's face so shocked and reddened, Luciana and Nia who were sitting in front of him immediately smiled amusedly while looking at Dave who had suddenly just stood beside Laurel, who had been standing next to her, and with a slight bow, she asked Laurel a question about what Laurel's statement meant about her just now.

"It looks like Laurel's doctor knows better than me who's the girl I like, if I may know what the girl's name is?" Dave casually pulled a chair from the table next to their table, brought it closer to the table where the four girls were gathered and took a seat with them, made Laurel's face reddened with embarrassment.

"Ma.., sorry boss.., not the intention.., I..," Laurel looks nervous, confused looking for words to defend herself.

"Sorry boss, Laurel's doctor was just joking, don't be taken heart," Spontaneously Luciana immediately defended Laurel, while Dave just smiled at her.

"So you don't think there's a girl I like?" The faces of the four girls instantly snapped in shock as they looked at each other at Dave's question.

"Anu boss.., that's not it..," This time Lusiana also looks stuttered looking for a way to correct the mistakes of her words. Dave smiled at the clumsy actions of the four girls in front of him.

"That's it, it's okay, don't take heart. After all, Laurel's doctor wasn't wrong, there was indeed a girl I liked, "Hearing Dave's words the four of them looked back at each other, and subconsciously the four of them immediately looked at the face of Dave who just smiled amusedly at their actions whose faces seemed filled with question marks and distrust of Dave's words just now.

"Why with you guys? Can't I like someone?"

"By boss!" Compactly the four of them in unison answered Dave's question, making Dave laugh.

"Uhuk-uhuk..," Suddenly Dave coughed, making Laurel spontaneously thrust a drink in front of him without realizing that the drink in front of him was a trace because he had drunk some.

"Thank you," Without hesitation Dave immediately took Laurel's offered glass and drank the water in it casually, making others more confused because they know the drink that Dave is drinking is a used drink Laurel.

"Eh, boss, I'm sorry, I accidentally pushed the glass," Laurel spontaneously tried to reach back the glass in Dave's hand, but cuek Dave again drank it until it ran out.

"Sorry, it's over, want me to ask the waiter for a new one?" Hearing Dave's question, Laurel hurriedly shook her head with her face still flushed red, Nia and Lusiana tried hard to hold back their smiles at the incident, and, indah chose to pretend not to see the incident.
