THE DOCTOR'S LOVE TRAP

2. Fiesta

Abrine threw his body on the bed, he let out a long sigh while staring at the ceiling of the room.

Fhhh ....

The problem now feels so heavy. Was it because this was his first experience in terms of heartbreak? I don't know, but all of this he has to get rid of immediately. He does not want a protracted heartache, even though the wound is open and gaping wide.

It seemed that he had to completely disappear for a moment. Go awayl. Before going back to face the same thing in front of the eyes.

Drrt....

Abrine's phone felt vibrating, he grabbed a flat object located in the pocket of his jeans. Look for a moment at the screen.

Yemima's name came up and is now calling her.

Abrine received the call, then put the phone in his ear.

"Yes, Mima?"

"Brine, come to my apartment tonight."

"For what?"

"I invited you to come. Come on! Halloween party, Baby."

Abrine clucked, he did not like the party let alone the party of obscure ghosts held in the Yemima Apartment. But, maybe this party will make him forget his problem for a moment.

"Alright," replied Abrine flatly.

Abrine's problem isn't that complicated. It was only heartache to see Raymond - his best friend - now have a lover. However, as this concerns Abrine's first heartbreak in life, it makes things difficult for him to get through.

Now, Abrine only wanted to avoid Raymond for a moment and take his mind off the young man's item for a moment. Preparing heart and mentality, if tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or at any time when he has to go back to seeing Raymond being intense on other girls - other than himself - he has become more ordinary, more sincere and certainly accepting.

The Halloween party at the Yemima Apartment was impossible for Raymond to attend because the young man also did not like these kinds of things. Abrine knew it well.

For that, Abrine felt there was no harm in coming to the party. It would probably relax him and would be able to comfort his heart.

Elsewhere, at a Private Hospital. A young doctor was releasing his white alma mater and hanging it on the standing hook of the corner of his room.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of the door being knocked from outside, how many seconds the door was opened without being ordered.

"Doctor El.." greet someone.

The young doctor named Elrich was staring at the interlocutor who had raised his face on the doorstep.

"Why, Xander? Come in" he said to the man named Xander.

Xander stepped in. Staring at Elrich for a moment, then grinning at the horse.

"What?" asked El who was lazy to mince words with his colleague.

"Later tonight come with me" said Xander.

"Where? The party?" Elrich could guess Xander's goal.

"Yups, exactly! Besides being good at dissecting, Doctor El is also good at reading my mind." Xander chuckled softly, while Elrich shook his head faintly as he tidied up his desk.

"You know I don't have much time for that, Xander."

"Come, El!"

"My work demands my time to the fullest" said Elrich, sniffing his shoulder.

"Calm down, you're not the only surgeon in this hospital. You may come with me to party."

"You are rich. It's got a hospital this big, so it's okay for you to have fun." Elrich was being honest.

"What's wrong with you? You want to say that you're not rich, are you?"

"Let's see, I just have more responsibility in my work."

"Are you not tired? Come on, just for a second. It's also an entertaining party, not just a drink as usual."

"Then?"

"Halloween party, El ...."

Elrich clucking. "Ah, come on! I'm not interested. I have so much work!"

"Listen, I'll fire you from this hospital, if you refuse my invitation now. This is also an invitation from Yemima for you!" Xander stays to bring El.

Elrich glared at the friend with his eagle eyes. "All right, I'm coming with you! But if there's an emergency call from the Hospital, I'll leave immediately" he replied flatly.

Elrich is not afraid of being fired, of course there are still many other Hospitals that need his services. But, he was already too comfortable working at the Xander Family-owned Hospital, his own best friend. He refused to leave the hospital.

"Yes, yeah, it's up to you. It seems like this Hospital is very lucky to have a doctor like you who is professional at work and does not eat blind pay."

"You know that! You're lucky to have me" replied Elrich with the pedal.

"Not me, but this Hospital!" press Xander while chuckling followed by Elrich's laughter later.

"meaning?"

"Maybe, when you're married later."

Elrich just laughed blandly at the words of his friend.

Abrine arrives at Yemima's apartment. He came wearing his favorite t-shirt and torn jeans. He looks ordinary, unlike most other guests who actually come with their flagship ghost costume because this is indeed the Halloween party moment.

It looks like Abrine got the wrong costume.

"Abrine!"

Yemima's voice startled Abrine, the girl turned her head cursory and found Yemima in a white costume who appeared to be covered in sticky liquid as a fake blood effect. Yemima's face is also in pale make-up like a creepy female ghost.

"You surprised me!" abrine said bluntly.

Yemima laughed softly. "You came here why don't you cosplay ghosts, dress up in costumes or make-up spooky, okay!?"

"Gosh, I don't have any. Let's just say I'm a ghost who just died so innocent still not good at dressing up spookily to scare people," Abrine kekeh made Yemima gawk.

Yemima pulls Abrine into his room, giving Abrine and TADA a make-up.

"Well, this is a good fit!" said Yemima exposing Abrine's face to the mirror.

Abrine let out a light breath. "It's okay, not bad. Zombie characters are ghosts who never retreat and never give up. I like that" he said, laughing along with Yemima.

"How, are you amused enough now?" ask Yemima again.

"Hmm, thanks.." replied Abrine. "By the way, you seem to know that I'm having a problem."

Yemima smiled gently. "I know, our circle of friendship makes it hard for you to escape Raymond. So, I know how you feel now."

"Mimma...."

"Oh, forget him. Have fun.... I invited many handsome friends, who knows there is one of them that can attract your attention." Yemima giggled again, this time he even mimicked the giggling sound of a booming ghost.

"You're a good fit to be a ghost!" cibir Abrine who then came out of Yemima's room to the main room where the ghost-themed party took place.

Abrine took a look at the party atmosphere and tried to enjoy it. He took the juice served by the waiters who were wiry with a tray. Abrine drank it to moisten his throat that felt dry.

"Brine, meet, it's my boyfriend.... Xander's."

Abrine turns to the man Yemima introduced as the girl's boyfriend. The man appears to be the character of the Joker in one of the famous films.

"Abrine.." said Abrine, shaking Xander's hand.

"Nice to meet you, Abrine!" greet Xander friendly.

"Nice to meet you too, Xander."

"How are you?"

"I'm great." replied Abrine.

"Good, it's good to know you again, Abrine." Xander smiled faintly.

Abrine nodded at Xander's speech. It seems like Yemima's lover is a very humble and easy going man.

"Well, Brine. You enjoy this party. I'll say hello to another friend, bye!" Yemima waved at Abrine and the girl replied with a soft nod.

On the other hand, El arrives at the party. He was wearing an ordinary suit. Shirts with arms rolled up to the elbows, as well as material pants that seem neat. Her appearance was not at all suitable for attending a Halloween party.

To maintain her privacy, El wears a mask that covers half of her face. He looked at Xander and Yemima, then waved a short hand.

"I've said it's better to come with me, you can come up with a cool cosplay, buddy!"

Elrich just sniffed his shoulders indifferently, he glanced at Yemima who giggled at Xander's side. They know each other, though not very familiar.

"How are you, Mima?"

"I'm Great, El. How're you? You look more handsome, "admit Yemima didn't lie.

El laughed softly behind his mask. While Xander who heard his lover praise his friend actually returned to reply.

"It's good for free, if it turns out that you don't have a lover."

"Seriously?" yemima asked somewhat surprised.

"Yes, I doubt his taste. Lest he had gone off the mark and liked men," Xander sneered in a shudder.

El did not respond to the sketches of the lovers. She has her own reasons regarding the status of her single to date.

"Thank you for your invitation, Mima," El told Yemima, turning the conversation around.

Yemima smiled faintly. "Yes, why not? Doctors like you are obliged to attend an occasional party, so that life is not monotonous!" he laughed with a small laugh at the end of his sentence.

"El's life is too monotonous, Baby. I'm not so!" xander protests.
