Paper Dove

SUPER VVIPS

Since that incident I was absent to bring a car, especially Nandes was to Bandung. I took public transport or an online motorcycle taxi, it traumatized me a bit.

" Dew, what if you move into my apartment?", Nandes offered as we talked on the phone.

I was astonished by the sudden request "No, your apartment is far from my workplace. You will bother anterin me every day to the office. Moreover, you are most lazy to wake up in the morning. Why all of a sudden ?".

" No I just want to be with you every day", there was a disappointed tone in his voice.

" I can too but I can't. You have to hold back", I'm firm.

" Yes.I'll try", Nandes had no intention.

" Oh yeah, I was appointed as a new team to deal with a super VVIP patient. It doesn't seem like a random person. So everything is a secret", I told you. 

" Oh yeah.. office?".

" I don't know. I'm curious too. He's in the presidential class. One floor is just for him. Maybe the hospital owner?", I guessed. 

" Did you agree to get into that team?".

" I can't refuse because the papers are out. Wow even though my college assignment is a lot" I complained. 

" You can definitely. My boyfriend is great", Nandes gives me spirit. I love to hear the bass and it sounds so cool. It's so stupid that I'm just realizing how I feel right now. I like this boyfriend of mine.

I'm sculpting. I saw Juan in front of me. Whatisthis? what kind of atmosphere is this?. The VVIP patient to be treated was Juan's father. 

Juan was looking at his father who was examined by a Pulmonary Responsible Doctor. I'm pretty sure I got into this team not by chance. On top of me there are still seniors who are more experienced than me, cases like this always require a doctor who has very long experience. Why should I be chosen?

Our team was introduced in front of Juan's family. Juan's mother is very beautiful, her character is very dignified but her eyes look very sad. A man around the age of 30 was standing staring out the window. Her usual clothes were not as official as others. And a woman sitting near the patient's bed is wearing a high school uniform. I knew right away they were Juan's brother and sister. Their faces look similar only to their different hair colors, especially Juan and his younger sister. 

Juan's mother stood up and spoke to our Director "I hope your pain should be kept secret, the media know you are resting. I hope the team you choose is a team that can be trusted by Dr. Handoko. Do not let the media know until the handover occurs". 

Dr Handoko nodded respectfully "I guarantee this team is the best Ms. Anderson. My father is my old friend. We will take good care of him".

Juan's mother nodded "I trust you Handoko", a tone of sadness sounded in her voice. 

I saw Juan sitting on the chair watching his father's bed. He looked dashing with his office black suit stelan. Disperse all the sweet impressions that were imprinted on my head. What was visible in front of my eyes was now a man with a cold face and a dignified look and I didn't really know him just yet. Juan comes from a conglomerate family and is very different from me. I felt that there was a distance that spread even wider between us.

I sat at the Nurse Station thinking about whether I should tell Nandes this incident or if I should just shut up. I'm very worried. 

" Haaaaah. Damn it", I tucked myself over the Nurse Station table. 

" You call me?", someone spoke to me. 

I jumped, Juan standing in front of me.  

" I'm sorry?", I'm confused.

I shook my head "No, I'm talking to myself", I defended myself. 

Juan nodded "You doctor look after today?", Juan asked.

" Yes sir. I'm a watch doctor today", I'm talking formally. 

" I want to talk to you. Both ", Juan then walked toward an empty room across from Nurse Station. His assistant and two bodyguards were standing at the door. I felt like the distance between me and Juan had gone too far, I felt like I was with a stranger when we were both in the room. 

Juan stood looking out the window at my back. " You... now with Nandes?", Juan asked.

I knew this was what he would ask. I just kept quiet and didn't answer. Juan turned around and saw me "why are you silent Dew?".

" I'm sorry sir I didn't answer because it's my personal business. If you want to ask about the health condition of the patient, I will answer". 

Juan came forward and held both of my arms "stop being formal. I hate that. Call me brother as usual. It's just the two of us here". 

" Can you let me go? This is the hospital", I looked into Juan's eyes looking upset. 

Juan took off his grip, he took a breath "Okay. I chose you to enter this team so I can be with you, see you here every time. You know I still like you".

I remained silent not responding to anything. 

" I'll be chasing you from now on. No matter what gets in the way. If you don't like me anymore, I'll make you like me my way. I'll come to you Dew. It was my fault for letting go of you first", Juan looked at me with a faint look. 

Juan breathed once more "dew doctor, I'm done with MY PERSONAL affairs. Please come out", Juan said coldly. 

I don't want to give you any response. I left the room without looking at Juan again. Today my mood is bad. It should have been clear that day that I said I didn't want to be with him anymore. 

Juan's assistant came to the Nurse Station section and made an announcement that made my blood boil.

" If when the Dew doctor is on duty and the bell from Mr. Anderson's room rings. Mr. Juan Anderson asked only the Dew doctors who approached first. Nurses can follow if needed". 

I slammed the map in front of Juan's assistant who looked shocked by my actions. Since when Juan became this annoying, I walked into the family room of patients to meet Juan. 

I entered the room without knocking on the door "Juan, what kind of rule is this?", I rebuked him. 

" Do you can't be polite?", his assistant reprimanded. 

Juan raised his hand "If this woman berate me though, let it be. Because he is special to me. If anyone touches him, you're dead", Juan looks up at his assistant. His assistant just looked down saluting.

Then Juan looked at me "What's the matter doctor? You should be able to distinguish between personal and work matters. This is a matter of work and a request from the family of a VVIP super patient. Or do I have to complain to your director because of poor service? A rude doctor? Do you need your teammates to be fired?", Juan smiled like he was happy to tease me. 

I clenched my hand trying to remember the martial arts Nandes had taught me. I should have told him from the beginning that I met him. In the end I exhaled violently in front of him and turned around to leave the room.
