Two months ago.
"Do" said Arman.
"Yes, man."
"You're sick, yeah. So pale?"
"No idea, man. This week my body dropped. I had a fever that felt like taking my life."
"Have you checked?"
"Already, man. I'm still waiting for results."
"Yes, have you rested, go home, your face is pale as the undead." Arman said leaving Dodo still limp.
Anxious feelings hit the mind. The young doctor landed his ass in the waiting room of the hospital laboratory where he worked. Nearly two weeks old 27-year-old man waiting for lab results. Results that will determine what happens in the future.
Already almost a month ago, Dodo felt the condition of his body that is not fit, cold hot fever, every morning wake up his body pain up to the bones throughout his body.
Now after two weeks of worry, he also got the news that the lab results had come out. He is now ready to hear the diagnosis that will be attached to him.
Several officers in white uniforms came to him. Their eyes were less friendly. The officers asked the man to meet Mr. Wibowo. Inside the room the officers stared in disdain at the man. But Dodo did not pay attention to their attitude, at this time he was still curious about the disease he suffered.
"Doctor Alfredo, called sir wibowo in his room." Call one of the sisters.
Dodo stepped towards the room of Mr. Wibowo. Wibowo is the owner of the hospital replacing Hermawan, the previous owner.
Assalamualaikum
"Sit, Do." Mr. Wibowo unceremoniously invited Dodo to sit in the chair of the wibowo workspace.
"Do you know why I called here?" Dodo shook his head. He had absolutely no idea what his summoning meant.
"Sorry, what's the matter, sir?"
"Read this." Mr. Wibowo thrust a large envelope branded with the results of the hospital laboratory where he worked.
Dodo's eyes widened as he read out the results.
Positive? HIV?
No way!
I don't think I have Aids!
No way!
"How, do?" wibowo's voice succeeded in making his mind chaotic. It was like having a nightmare that made him want to wake up quickly. Unfortunately, it's not a dream but reality.
Dodo remained unmoved staring at the results of the lab in his hand. I still can't believe what's on that sheet of paper. His chest felt very tight imagining how the hospital reacted. His eyes turned towards the man in front of him. As if catching on there would be an important announcement breaking his mood.
"Okay, now we immediately focus on the initial discussion. Brother Dodo, you know that the disease you are suffering from is not an ordinary disease." Dodo only nodded weakly.
Wibowo continued "You know this is a clean agency. Then you should also know that we can't extend our contract as doctors at this hospital."
Dodo captures the meaning of Wibowo's speech. He soon realized that the hospital was going to stop him. He was sure there was a mistake in the lab.
"I mean my father was fired. I can't do it, sir. You forgot I'm the only heart doctor in this hospital. Don't forget also I once brought a trophy for this hospital as an accomplished doctor from the ministry of health."
"If you really feel accomplished you do not get this disease, do. You will keep yourself from a free life."
"It's up to you doctor Alfredo. Now I'm just making the announcement that Alfredo's doctor is no longer ill. We do this for the comfort of this hospital. Sorry we couldn't keep your scholarship. There's an Inspiration doctor who replaces you for a scholarship in Holland."
Dodo out of the Wibowo room. Feelings of anger, annoyance, disappointment all converged on him. All of his possessions from his work office to his scholarship would be replaced by Ilham.
"Do. You why?" The voice came from before him. The figure of the man he considered a successful lover made him float a raw bogem.
Bugh!
"Basic biker! You're not my best friend anymore, ham! You took everything from me!"
The grimacing illusion of pain from the bogem that landed onto his face. The man was shocked by Dodo's words. He didn't feel like cornering anyone.
"Do. You why? what wrong?"
Dodo just stared cynically at Ilham. He never liked what Ilham got. The nickname "Golden Child" attached to the man who has the status of a widower makes Dodo sick. Especially when she knows the woman she loves is still obsessed with Ilham who incidentally is her ex-husband. Dodo left Ilham who was still confused by what was happening at this time. His feet stepped into his room, several officers cleaning the man's practice room.
"What the fuck! it's too bad you unpacked my room." Dodo Amuk
"Sorry, sir, this doctor ordered Mr. Wibowo to sterilize your room. As well as asking you to clean your stuff." Said one of the officers.
"Cleanings? that's what I am!" Dodo Amuk.
The nurses whispered when they saw Dodo walking with some of his belongings.
"No idea, huh? doctor Dodo's got HIV."
"Yes, not expecting. I don't think he's much of a whim, eh, it turns out."
Now it's all done. Ina moved away from me, Kania no longer wanted to pay for my life, and now they're firing me as if it were my sickness. Brother Bian forgive me, I've ruined your sacrifice all along. You are willing not to continue school to lift my ideals. I'm sorry, brother.
In the present moment
Amid the shrillness of the cockroach, Alfredo Sihombing raised his body that still feels pain. His rented door made him forced to resurrect his body which began to be thin. Since he was fired from the hospital, since he was no longer a doctor, his life began to be bad, the morning wandering home at midnight, making some people uncomfortable. Dodo often vomit and smell vomit like a bad smell. Some people around the bed started to get uncomfortable.
"Dodo Brothers. I'm asking you to get your foot out of this contract."
"Why, sir? I've paid the contract 3 months at a time.kok I was even expelled."
" We can't stand the stench in your house. Looks like you've got a dangerous disease, we don't want to catch it." Speak of fellow residents.
Dodo forced to bring makeshift goods. His sickly body went down the street with a backpack carrying on his back. The morning mist made his teeth tremble to withstand the piercing cold.
"What! You have HIV, do." Pekik Kania's.
Dodo is forced to meet Kania who according to his only hope can give a ride. She told Kania that she's not a doctor anymore. Now he is unemployed with a disease that sticks to his body.
"That's your business, Do. None of my business! My house is not a shelter. Anyway why am I accommodating a sick man like you. Not useful!Now get the fuck out of my house! I don't want Ina to see him misunderstand again." Expel Kania.
"Sir!"
"Yes, lady!"
"This guy's wife is from here. I've been nauseous looking at his face!" kania's word to his personal driver.
"Remember, Kania, you're also a zolim to your own son. There will be karma that will befall you." Dodo Amuk.
Where else do I need to find a place to live.
