Love Because Love
RACE
“Iya granny, indeed sometimes young and beautiful girls today can only be used as lovers, but not for wives,” Grandma Nuri laughed at the answer from Dave, Dave, while Laurel who gets a sharp glare from Dave can only grimace in the heart because somehow he felt the words as if Dave was aiming for him.
“Doctor besides being very handsome is also very smart,” Grandma Nuri brandished both thumbs of her hands towards Dave.
“Sorry granny, I have to control the work of other doctors, I'm sorry,” Dave said goodbye while smiling sweetly at Grandma Nuri, making Laurel can only stroke the chest, because in a matter of seconds, from a sharp glance towards him that seemed very cold Dave could instantly turn his face into so friendly and sweet smile in front of Grandma Nuri, making Granny Nuri even more stunned, looking at him without blinking.
“Iya doc, don't forget the time I control again we can meet again,” Once again see the flirtatious actions of the patient in front of him it feels like Laurel really wants to laugh out loud but really held back, he said, moreover, Dave immediately glanced at Laurel, as soon as he heard Grandma Nuri say flirtatiously to him. Laurel immediately lowered her head slightly to avoid seeing that she was holding back her laughter, while Dave who had just walked out of the door of Laurel's room immediately took a deep breath and took it out of his nose, truly relieved to be able to escape from Grandma Nuri's sight, she really did not expect it to turn out that there had been such an elderly woman who had been her hospital patient. Imagining how troublesome Johan had been to face the old woman, Dave slightly smiled amusedly.

“Come on, we're almost late, I just finished dental impaction surgery (The wisdom teeth can grow obliquely in different directions. Wisdom teeth can also get trapped inside the gums. Undue growth of wisdom teeth and causing pain is called tooth impaction. Dental impaction surgery is the procedure of removing wisdom teeth that grow unnaturally to prevent the emergence of potential problems in the future. The wisdom teeth impaction surgery procedure generally requires a different and more complicated technique than regular tooth extraction),” Nia pulled Laurel's arm and with a little running rushed her to the meeting room. Laurel could only follow Nia's movements, were it not for her having to face Grandma Nuri who was quite fussy and spent a lot of her time, she would not have had to rush into the meeting room.
As soon as he arrived at Laurel's meeting room his eyes immediately glued to the clock on the wall of the meeting room which showed 10:59. Laurel breathed a sigh of relief, at least there was still 1 minute before the meeting started, so it could be said that she was not too late. Nia and Laurel immediately took a position in the far left corner, because it turns out that today only a few seats in that section are left and still in empty condition. Laurel looked forward, she saw Dave who had risen to his feet accompanied by Leo's doctor, preparing to open a meeting this afternoon. In the front of the room the chair was filled with female doctors and nurses. Laurel could only take a deep breath. Really her boss is the idol of the female employees in this hospital, she said, only she and Ana who are female employees in this hospital are sitting in the back and corner position because they just came to the meeting room 1 minute before the meeting started. It really is not just a figment of the story about how the female employees in this hospital so idolize Dave, like a famous artist.
“Good day everyone,” Laurel and Nia still manage her breath that is a little stingy because just running around in the hospital corridor trying to catch time so as not to be late to the meeting when Dave opens his voice to open the afternoon meeting that day.
“Siang boss...” Everyone present immediately replied to Dave's opening greeting.
“Meeting today will be led by doctor Leo as the chairman of the committee that I have appointed for us to participate in a series of events held to commemorate the birthday of IDI,” (IDI \= Indonesian Doctors Association. On October 24, 1950, the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) officially gained legal legality in front of a notary public. On that date is set IDI anniversary which is also commemorated as National Doctor Day in Indonesia). Dave directed his gaze at Leo.
“Please doctor Leo,” Leo nodded at the order from Dave, while Dave immediately took a sitting position back to his chair.
“Good afternoon everyone, thank you for the opportunity that our boss has given us. For the IDI anniversary event next week there is a series of events that we will participate in together with representatives from 65 hospitals in this city, among others, social service by distributing basic food to residents can not afford as well as free health checks. The second this year there is a donation from a private company that gives doctors the opportunity to hold sports competitions including volleyball, basketball and futsal. Special futsal only applies to men, men's basketball one team women's, mixed volleyball,” Leo stopped talking for a while, the employees who attended immediately noisier one with the other talked about the plan of IDI celebration day this year which is not as usual.
"For this year it looks like the IDI birthday celebration will be quite festive, I ask that we can all participate, please have a discussion to form a team for the race," Doctor Leo walked towards the front, he said, take a boardmarker marker and start writing down the types of races on the board in the form of glass 10 millimeters thick.
“All winners of each race will get a pretty big prize. We do not pursue gifts, which is important our participation. Do not burden ourselves, as long as we have done our best,” Laurel and Nia look at each other, they choose to be quiet, because they are both not interested in the race. For the social service Laurel did not mind at all, but not for the race event. Laurel didn't want to participate, not because she couldn't play the game, she's pretty good at basketball and volleyball, even since she was in Junior High, but he is quite self-aware as a new employee has not wanted to be too involved, does not want to be considered attention seeking.
Furthermore, Leo is busy writing the names of the participants who will take part in the race. Laurel chose to be quiet while observing the phone screen in front of her because there was just a message from Freya who said today mama is not feeling well and asked Laurel for help to buy porridge after work chicken for her mother's dinner.
“Laurel..” Laurel turned her head to hear a soft whisper from Nia, her face instantly raised, and subconsciously a glance she looked towards Dave before her eyes looked towards Nia who called out to him just now. Whether it's just his feelings or it actually happens, Laurel sees the eyes of Dave staring at him with a strange look, which she herself can't decipher, but what was clear was not the cold and sharp look as usual. The look was soft, which was only a glimpse, because when Laurel looked back at Dave, she saw that Dave had set his sights on Leo.
“Laurel..” Nia whispered back to her name, making Laurel a little jolted from her daydream.
“Eh, yes Nia, why?”
“What race do you want to join?” Hearing Nia's question, Laurel immediately shook her head.
“Let the others, I miss first, join social service,” Laurel said with a little whisper towards Nia.
“How is doctor Laurel?” Hearing her name called by Leo, Laurel immediately set her eyes forward followed by Nia who was shocked.
“Come Laurel, come with me!” Feri clenched his hand and moved it up and down to encourage Laurel who was confused by the intention of Leo's question, because just now he was too concerned with anything else.
“Doctor Leo wants you to participate in one of the races,” Luciana turned her head towards Laurel and gave him a leak of Leo's intention to ask him. Laurel shook her head slowly.
“Sorry doc, others only, I follow social service only,”
“Don't be Leo's doctor, Laurel's doctor must come along, so that there is a beautiful view in the racecourse,” Hearing Arnold's comment, Feri sitting next to him directly smashed his right arm into Arnold's left arm.
“I can't really volleyball or basketball,” Laurel replied, trying to avoid his participation in the race this time, at first glance Dave looked at him sharply, it was as if knowing that currently Laurel was deliberately avoiding to participate.
“No problem, with the presence of doctor Laurel in our team is enough to make the opponent give up because of his charm,” This time replace Roy, one of the ENT doctors who gave a comment. Roy's words were immediately greeted by smiles and thumbs up by other meeting participants. Leo can only shake his head, not even a week Laurel joined this hospital, his charm has made many doctors and male employees who idolize him. You could say that all this time Dave has always been the subject of conversation among female employees, now Laurel is always a conversation among male employees.
“What's the point of being beautiful if you can't compete, never mind, it's better that others,” Laurel grimaces at hearing insinuations from Arman, but this time she really supports Arman's words.
“The bethel that doctor Arman said, rather than later I humiliate our team, I better be a cheerleader just beside the field.” Laurel responds to Dr. Arman's words with her sweet smile, leading Dr. Arman to shift his gaze with a slight unhappy snort.
“Wowwwww, seriously huh? Then I list all kinds of races so that doctor Laurel can give me spirit,” Arnold immediately raised his hand to hear the words of Laurel who can only smile with a slightly misbehaved face.
“I too, it's just you who want to get cheers from doctor Laurel?” Roy immediately followed Arnold to raise his hand, making the atmosphere in the meeting room grow noisier, unaware of the pair of eyes that were watching the actions of the male doctors with sharp gazes, showing his dislike for the situation.
