Tough girl in novel

*Episode 50's

Feeling uncomfortable with that gaze, Maria looked back with the intention that Arkan would no longer look at her. But, they even look at each other. The doctor did not even notice it.

The doctor felt that he was not coming in at the right time. He wanted to leave the room because he did not want to disturb Arkan and Maria who seemed to be building a romantic atmosphere for both of them. But unfortunately, when he wanted to leave in a hurry, the doctor instead hit the standing table beside the room door.

The small table where the flower pot was placed dropped the item that he was holding because of the collision. Brak! The sound of objects falling onto the floor made the two of them aghast in shock. Suddenly, the two of them compactly looked towards the source of the sound that was there standing the doctor with an unpleasant face looking at them.

"Doctor Haikal," Arkan said in an annoyed tone.

"Eh .. it .. anu .... I'm sorry, Mr. Arkan. I didn't mean to ruin the warm moment, Arkan mas. This is ... the table is misplaced." The doctor spoke while showing a table underneath which was a flower pot scattered.

"I think the table's been there since I bought this apartment, doctor. I never hit him one bit."

"Ah .. it .... "

"Yes already. No need to worry about the table and flower pots that have been broken. Now, I want you to check on my fiancee's condition. He was accidentally hit by a crazy street thug from a drunken stupor. Hurry along! I'm afraid he's okay" Arkan said again showing his concern. Meanwhile, Maria who was beside him just kept quiet without intending to make a sound.

"alright. I'll start now" said the doctor at a quick pace toward Maria.

"I'll check the marks of the blow you received. But please, let me see it first. Are you willing to take off your clothes so I can see the marks of the blow?" ask the doctor carefully.

Maria did not answer. He sees Arkan next to the doctor. To be honest, he objected to undressing in front of men like this. When Arkan asked too, he forgot that he had a blow to his chest. Of course he would have to take off his shirt if the doctor used to check, right? Ah, he regretted it. Due to his chaotic mind, he had forgotten everything.

"Ria, you don't have to do that. We'll just go to the hospital to check on the blow you've received. Because in the hospital, there must be a lot of female doctors. Also ... There are still many sophisticated tools that allow examination without having to touch your body."

"Ah, just gini. What if I call my friend to come here? She's a female doctor. Of course it doesn't matter, if he checks your fiance's condition, Arkan?" The doctor spoke in a happy tone.

"How, Ria? Do you agree?" ask Arkan for Maria's opinion.

Arkan is a man who is quite reliable in terms of appreciating the feelings of women. He also has a very high sensitivity. The proof alone, he knew that Maria was objecting to fulfill what the doctor said earlier.

Maria smiled slightly as she nodded her head in agreement. He's happy now. It's not because the doctor didn't check on him. But, because Arkan is quite sensitive and can appreciate his decision without him asking again.

As Arkan requested, Haikal's doctor immediately called his best friend to come to the apartment immediately. His best friend agreed to comply with Haikal's doctor's request, and he left immediately.

In less than thirty minutes, the woman's doctor arrived at Arkan's apartment. He was immediately greeted warmly by Haikal's doctor who claimed to be a friend. However, Maria was able to catch a glimpse of the welcome that Haikal's doctor gave to the female doctor she said the friend looked a little different. It is not a greeting as a friend, but rather, as to love.

However, Mary chose to ignore all of that. Because whatever their relationship is, as long as it doesn't concern him, he won't care.

The doctor immediately asked Arkan and Haikal to wait outside the room. Because he wanted to check on Maria alone.

Arkan did not say much, he immediately followed what the doctor said. Get out of that room with Haikal after a little talk with Maria.

"We're starting now. Can you open your shirt so I can see what kind of punch you got?" ask the doctor after they only live alone in this room.

Mary did not answer. However, he did what the female doctor asked. Unlock the shirt he was wearing half. While the other half, remained attached to his body.

The former punch looks a little blue now. It was just a little, but .. the doctor looked a little surprised when he saw the marks.

"Why? Is there something wrong with this old man?" ask Mary to be curious.

"Not really. It's a pretty powerful punch, but you're able to hold it like you don't feel anything. I salute you. Your body turned out to be quite strong, not the same as a girl in general."

"I'm .. I'm just trying to look strong. I did it so Arkan wouldn't worry. Because if I look weak, Arkan will be more worried about me" said Maria feigning weakness.

For Mary, that wound is nothing. Because when she decided to be a tough woman to protect her mom and herself, he had gone through many difficulties that made him able to withstand blows that might be many times harder than what he was experiencing now.

"You're such a tough young girl. But ... You shouldn't keep this taste of your partner. Because, there were things he had to know, there were things he didn't. If it is important, our partner must know. Because in my opinion, sharing is better than keeping everything alone," said the woman, smearing ointment on a bruise from a blow to Maria's chest.

Maria remained silent. Those words reminded him of one thing. Not about the wounds he felt, but about the secret he has been silent until this moment.

"It has. I'm done treating you. It's ointment. Apply this ointment regularly every three hours. That way, the bruise on your chest will quickly get better." The doctor said as he handed the bottle of ointment to Maria.
