Shame But Mau

MTM #45 Punishment 4: Border Medical

__________

For two weeks they were out of the big city. Alya who initially complained about the difficulty of adapting to the surrounding environment finally began to get used to the schedule that was carried out regularly. Difficult to find cell phone signals on site, some of them undo the intention to the village next door very far just to call for a while.

The time taken is about 4 or 5 hours considering the steep streets and certainly not good, making the time consumed free while on the way only. The use of army vehicles is not allowed for personal reasons.

At the end of lunchtime, Elli and the others were still in the makeshift tent.

" Dok, don't you miss your kids?". Elli asked as she glanced at and tidied up the medical device.

" Which mother does not miss her child. I miss it so much, every night I go to sleep I always stare at the picture on my phone. A phone as sophisticated as anything feels useless here. The only thing that is useful is prayer". Sinta's advice by holding back her tears. Tears that want to spill when his head remembered the child at home.

" Which child does not miss his mother. Moreover, the cuisine is always made according to your own preferences, selfish requests when the mother is still holding back tired." Sela Elli adds to the mood of Sinta Herles so bad.

" Which doctor served far away was sad. We're not on duty anymore to war". Alya was commenting on the two women's chat.

" And which love will forget in the first person where it is anchored". Oceh Gery joined their sentences. Hearing the extremely tickling sentence in Alya's ears quickly she glared at the man in white T-shirt sitting in front of her.

" Where is Fikran, by the way? They are often lost !". Said Sinta wiggling.

" There are other tasks he said !". Answer Alya judes. I did not see the faces of the two women in the tent.

" What task?". Sinta asked back.

Elli. " There are other medical tasks !".

A few minutes later, someone softly uttered an excuse in front of the gap of the tent. The three women looked forward, looking at the man who spread a smile on his face. But it is not so visible because some of the face is covered in a plain white hat. The clothes that are worn are very ordinary just height is quite decent. Like a stranger entering without such permission.

" Doctor Sinta, can I borrow Doctor Elli for a moment to accompany me to the next village !".

Uh. Like I've heard. Elliott

" Is it not the same problem as your boss?". Reply Doctor Sinta who knows the man.

When he wanted to answer, he had to first remove a hat attached to his head. Look at her hair, familiar cut. Maybe he was a soldier. " In-dimas?". Elli said slowly.

" I've asked my commanding officer for permission, Doc. !". Mumbled

" Wait a minute, let's clean this up first. Not long enough". Answer Sinta gently while finishing the job.

Dimas who do not want to stand sculpting also helps what can be done to quickly finish. It didn't take long, the job was over. Elli went to her tent to put her white coat on. And took a white hat in a suitcase for him to wear.

" Doctor Alya, Doctor Sinta. Excuse me, please". Elli says goodbye and walks with Dimas.

Together with Dimas Prayudha, Elli witnessed the nature that stretches across each track. Somewhere, Elli hasn't asked yet she's still fascinated by the green tree and the chirping of birds flying over it. Arrive in front of the car that has been specially provided if there is a sudden need.

" Come on, Doc ! Our trip takes 4 hours !". It clearly made Elli look up and look over.

" It's a long time, are we just going home? Otherwise I'm afraid of the law". Elli said she still imagined herself being punished if she did not do her job here.

The car has been running crammed into the path that only looks straight ahead. " We're not on vacation, there's also a duty ". Obviously while holding the wheel.

" Then we go home at night?". Still digging for information.Humping head is an implied answer because his eyes are still focused with the road that really tortures the body." Is there a network?".

" yes. Did the doctor bring a cell phone?". Ask glanced

The face is also bent. " no. If you know for sure, grab a cell phone first". Weld.

" I brought a cell phone. If anyone wants to be contacted, just use the origin of the number memorized". Dimas said while driving the car.

" Thank you for the kindness. Do you want to contact your family?". Elli turned around to ask.

" It's not just me. In my bag there's been a lot of mail for the whole family of soldiers waiting". Evidently.

" I'll be after the doctor has called the family ".

" Elli just don't use the name of the doctor, it's not good to hear !". Elli said leaning on the car bench.

Remaining 2 hours drive still visible forest no sign of village houses on the way. The road was a little bumpy now it was smooth and it started to feel good for Elli to close her eyes for a moment. The two eyes that were closed immediately he tepis.

" sleep. It's two hours away !". Said Dimas to Elli who turned with his eyes. Instantly falling down and laying his head on the car bench. A small laugh was heard from Dimas.

He was still continuing his car, starting to look already the houses of the residents but not much. A middle-aged man was standing on the road, like he wanted to ask for a ride on Dimas' car.

Dimas stepped on the brakes in front of the man. " Where are you going?". Ask the handsome man who looks up and down the passenger. Shirt tangled and Kumal, old old body old while carrying a sack that has no idea what it contains.

" To village X, can I take a ride?". Gelagapan.

" Ride behind Sir !". Dimas said with a smile to her. The man, whose name is unknown, was happily riding, sitting in the back of the car.

Elli fell asleep still wearing a hat stuck to the top of her head. From the car mirror, Dimas glanced back without the man knowing. It seemed, the passenger behind was curious about the face of the woman sitting on the side of Dimas.

" Where's the father from?". Dimas' voice broke the silence of the journey. Their eyes glanced at each other in the car mirror.

" I from the yellow house wanted to meet the family in the next village ". It was clearly on Dimas.

His hand touched Elli's hat and lowered it until Elli could not be noticed anymore. " I see, sir, have you eaten?". Dimas began to mince words so that his attention was distracted. Ever since Dimas stole the sight without him knowing, Dimas knew full well he kept watching Elli.

" Su-already It is !". Answer

Wind brings cool air despite the heat. Dust particles enter from car windows that are accidentally closed. No more chats since then, Dimas is still focused on driving. Putting a suspicious look at foreign passengers, but he tepis so as not to row in the car.

An hour's drive away, lucky that there was a small shop. Dimas laid off right in front of the shop owner's yard. Because it was too far away, afraid that he could not keep an eye on the doctor who was asleep.

" Sir, want a drink?". Ask him to get out of the car.

" No, it's not !". Respond politely.

"Well, I bought a drink first. Wait here, yes !". His words were soft but had made the man goosebumps stiff.

Dimas went from the car, bought some snacks to complementary drinks while glancing from inside the car that he deliberately lowered the car glass. Keep glancing when the hand took the contents of the wallet for him to pay.

As soon as possible step over to the car and enter safely. Thankfully there were no suspicious gestures from the man. " This sir, if anyone likes it, just take it !". Open the crackle and show the contents.

" Thank you !. His friend sleeps, ketchup huh?!". Spontaneous exit switch words can be glanced again from Dimas.

" Yes, we're a long way to the village too. You sleep in an hour !". He said he was bringing the car down the road.

For a few minutes, Elli shook her body and straightened it. Staring at Dimas who was still perched beside him carrying a car, he thought he was still on his way.

When sitting straight ahead, Elli like to open a white hat since it was attached. Dimas quickly undoes Elli's intentions, puts his palm over his head and codes a shudder. The life that has not been collected, even his eyes are still sleepy.

" sleep. Still pretty far ". Both hands held the wheel again without seeing the man behind who picked up Dimas' drink.

The atmosphere of the sky began to cool, the sun began not to scorch. Dimas dismisses the car suddenly but Elli does not waver in his dream. Whether Gery where, he should be watching the beautiful he loves. Dimas standing from inside the car opened the roof of the car himself, let the air breathe open and then drove back to the car.

" The air is cool sir is still natural, I accidentally open the roof ". Dimas says.

" Hehe Yes !". The smile was carefully lyricized by Dimas. There is something stuck, but he is not angry.

" E." Elli's voice began to open. His eyes began to open slowly. The head is tilted back straightened. This time he could not sleep because the sea of clouds above the sky was so beautiful with the decoration of birds flying slowly. Not to mention the trees on the outskirts towering. The hustle and bustle of the big city is not this cool, his mind said.

" You're up?". Ask Dimas

" em's. Wow, that's beautiful, cold. Very beautiful here !". Surprised, wanting to stand up but not so, only the hands that came out of the car touched every wind that blew. " Hehe, can I take a photo? I brought a camera !". He got a glance at the man in the back.

" Those photos you want in the photo. Oh yeah, it's the same minimum snack, at a meal if hungry !". Dimas advised as Elli continued to take pictures of each angle that attracted the eye.
