Andre
Andre just put the medical devices back on the table. He also took off his work clothes.
"Where's lunch, Dre?" tanya Ferries.
"Ahead as usual" replied Andre.
Andre instead went to get lunch but just stepped into the room.
Tok. He knocked on the tightly closed door.
Chequek. The door is open. There appeared a middle-aged mother whom he had never seen before.
"Who, huh?" ask the mother.
"I'm Andre, going to see Kanaya's patient" Andre replied with a smile.
"Oh please come in!" take the mother.
"Thank you, ma'am." said Andre then entered to greet the mother.
"Kanaya, it's in the bathroom!" said it.
It turned out that inside there was also a middle-aged man and a man who was the same age as him.
"Who are you?" ask the middle-aged man.
"I'm Andre, sir!" answer Andre.
"My daughter's friend?"
Andre smiled as he nodded.
"What's the point of you being friends with my daughter?" the question was cold with a look of eye gazing probing towards Andre from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head.
"I. . .?"
"I have an offer for you. Do you want to?"
"Hmm, you mean?"
"Married one day to my daughter after that you divorced her. Of course I will give you a reward. I know people like you have financial difficulties, right? How much do you want, just say it?" said haughty.
Andre gasped at the man's words. But he quickly mastered himself. He was already used to meeting someone who liked to demean others.
Tok.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
The mother opened the door. The nurse came.
"Please come in, sus!" take the mother.
"Thank you, mom. Here I bring the vitamins for home!"
"Thank you, sus!"
"Loh, is doctor Andre here?" ask sister Siska.
Andre just smiled.
"Hhhmm, then excuse me first," said Sister Siska then immediately out.
"Doctor Andre!" call someone who turns out to be Kanaya who just came out of the bathroom.
"So you're a doctor?" ask the proud man.
"Yes, sir!" andre replied, nodding.
"Doctor, why did you just come?" kanaya asked a little spoiled.
"How are you doing Kanaya? Hope it's better. I just came here to fulfill my promise to visit mbak," said Andre polite with a friendly smile.
"Oh, is Andre the doctor here?" ask the mother while smiling. "I'm Naya's mom and that's Naya's papa" he added.
"Alhamdulillah, ma'am." said Andre.
"Doctor Andre, please sit down!" take the mother.
"Thank you. I just went to see for a minute. Alhamdulillah mbak Kanayanya has improved. So excuse me!" said Andre.
"But, doc? I'm still not recovered!" kanaya Protest.
"Mbak Kanaya can rest at home. Sorry, I want to find lunch first I will hunt down my break time runs out. I have to replace the other doctors as well" explained Andre still with a friendly smile. Just now Andre flipped his body suddenly someone called out to him.
"Wait, doctor!" call the papa Kanaya.
"Yes, sir?"
"Can I talk to you for a second?"
"alright, sir. But my time is not much because I have to go back to work!"
"Yes, okay! I just want to apologize for what I said. I don't mean to insult the doctor. I really don't know what I'm saying because I'm dizzy thinking about my daughter."
"Yes, sir. It's okay, I understand!" andre was still friendly and polite.
"I'm just doing my duty, sir."
"Doctor Andre, you're here apparently!" said a nurse.
"Yes, sus. What's up?" ask Andre.
"Doctor Andre was called by Dr. Feri. There's a serious patient in IGD!" inexplicably.
"Oh, yes. I'll be there soon!" sahut Andre then turned to his papa Kanaya, "Sorry sir, excuse me!" pamit Andre's.
"Oh yes, doctor!"
Andre Gegas went to the IGD. Arriving at IGD, Andre immediately helped Feri doctor and a nurse in handling patients. After shoulder to shoulder they can finally help the patient.
"Alhamdulillah, the critical period is over. May the patient come to their senses soon!" said Andre as he let out a long breath.
"Where's the doctor having lunch?"
"Lunch? Not yet, no!"
"Loh, why haven't you? Wasn't that?"
"Yes, it was planned to visit the patient for a while but it became a long time. Just wait."
"Do I want to buy it, doctor?" bargain sister Siska.
"Thank you, sus. But later," rejected Andre smooth but did not stop making Sister Siska feel disappointed. He had wanted to buy Andre lunch several times but was always refused.
***
The next day when Andre had just finished lunch, he walked casually to the IGD. Just now he was about to enter suddenly someone called out to him.
"Doctor Andre!"
Andre looked at me. It turns out that the one who called him was a woman that Andre thought was Kanaya's domestic assistant. The female patient he had helped a few days ago.
"Mom? Call me?" ask Andre.
"Doctor, can you have a minute?" tanyakanya.
"Oh, yes. I still have ten minutes left. Can I help you?"
He sat in a long chair in the IGD room. Andre sat down near him.
"Non Kanaya's. He is going out of the country today. Because her parents are embarrassed that the marriage is void so it forces non Kanaya to marry someone else. Non Kanaya left this letter to the doctor!" clearly while thrusting a letter into the hands of Andre.
Andre received the letter with a feeling of bewilderment and also shock.
"I'll excuse you, doc!" his farewell immediately passed from in front of Andre.
Kanaya's day abroad.
Andra kept the letter and went back to work.
In the afternoon it was time for Andre to go home from the hospital. On the way he remembered the letter Kanaya had given him.
"I read it now on the way" murmured Andre.
Andre reached into his pants pocket and opened the letter.

By Dr. Andre
I just wanted to thank the doctor for helping me at the time. If there's no doctor, I don't know how I will be. I just realized now that what I was doing back then was the dumbest thing.
Although there was a bit of disappointment in my heart because the doctor did not want to help me but I could not force my will. We cannot play marriage.
But because I don't want to be embarrassed, Papi wants my wedding to continue until he forces me to marry his choice for a while.
But I don't want to anymore. Maybe getting married is no longer on my wish list.
I'm leaving, doc. I won't bother the doctor anymore. May the doctor find happiness. Aamiins.
Kanaya

Kanaya is really gone. Hhh, I'm sorry.
Andre folded the letter again and kept it in the car. He recalled the beginning of his meeting with Kanaya. Suddenly there was a feeling of wanting to meet.
