VENGEFUL SHACKLES

What do you think I am?

"May I come calm down for a while here?" Willy's face looked lethargic as he met Paula in Kevin's nursery that night.

"What's Will?" paula asked slightly surprised by Willy's remark, the man also looked like he was going through a very deep inner pressure.

Willy thrust a white envelope that had been in his grasp in front of Paula.

"What's this?" Paula scrunched her forehead.

"Read, I don't even have the energy to explain it." - Willy, he didn't want his voice to wake up Kevin who was fast asleep.

"This is good news, Will, congratulations!" the smile was so full on Paula's lips, just after she had read the contents of the letter in the envelope, it was inversely proportional to the look of the face that Willy presented that night.

"Good news? Oh Paula, this is very bad news. How could I be transferred to another city so suddenly like this." Willy.

Yes, the assignment transfer letter he just received half an hour ago from his superior. Somehow on what basis the leader moved his assignment even without notice at all.

"But your move is like a promotion for you, even in a smaller hospital, but your position there is to be a chief doctor there, isn't that good?" Paula knitted both of her eyebrows cluelessly, as Willy looked unhappy due to his promotion.

Willy paused for a moment, not sure if he should tell Paula what he had just experienced.

"It's not just a promotion, but rather I'm removed from the Gem!" pissed Willy.

"I don't understand, do you have a problem with your boss?" guess Paula.

"More than that, it looks like I've offended the would-be owner of this hospital." Willy's eyes exuded an overwhelming annoyance.

"Prospective owner of this hospital?" paula's Beo.

"Yes, the prospective owner of this hospital who now serves as the chief director of Permata."

"You mean, Mr Frans?"

Willy shook his head, "Joshep, I'm sure he wanted my move this time because he didn't like to see our closeness." said Willy who just found out if the Permata main director has now changed hands with Joshep.

Willy, who is just an ordinary pediatrician and is not included in the ranks of the Gem officials, of course, does not know the transfer of Frans' position to Joshep, that was only when he wanted to appeal to Frans, but his head said that Frans had retired and had been replaced by his son, Joshep, who would later become the owner of the Gem after Joshep married Bella.

"J-joshep's? D-he's the chief director of this hospital?" Paula is devastated, she really does not know if Joshep now serves as the highest leader in the hospital where Kevin is treated.

Paula did know that her ex-husband was in a relationship with the owner of this hospital, but she did not expect that Joshep would easily accept the important position, Joshep who he knew used to always fight for his own career and never wanted to use his father's connections, Paula half could not believe if Joshep turned out to be able to use Bella to get the position now.

One thing that makes it more difficult to believe is if true what Willy said just now, if Joshep was behind the beautiful assignment Willy just because of the closeness of the two of them.

"Honestly, working in the Gem is the dream of every doctor, including myself, I was very happy when I was accepted to be one of the assistant doctors here, then became a regular doctor, he said, there's a lot of things I can learn that I can't learn in other hospitals, but it turns out-" Willy's throwing his breath away violently, sadness is heard in every word he speaks.

It is true, many doctors want to work in Permata, in addition to a large salary, high prestige, and, the hospital can also be said to be the best and the tools in his possession are all sophisticated and up to date so that doctors can learn a lot by working there.

"I don't care if I'm just an ordinary pediatrician as long as I'm still working here, rather than being the head of the hospital in the area" Willy continued.

Bella's engagement was already intense news among the hospital staff, even among office girls like her, they said that Bella will be engaged later this month and in the afternoon will be the most luxurious engagement event of the year.

For God's sake, even though Paula sometimes still feels a little sick to hear it, but it also makes her feel happy, because finally Joshep found his own happiness, but it also makes him feel happy, because Joshep finally found his own happiness, but he did not expect that there would be such a story.

"I'll see Joshep tomorrow, I'll try to talk to him." Said Paula, she does not want to continue to be haunted by guilt in her because it has been the cause of the breakdown of Willy's hopes for a career in the Gem.

"No, that's not what I mean, I'm just here to tell you a story, not to burden you and I never blame you for this, ever, ever, maybe this is my way, maybe I'm not in a match with the Gem." prevent Willy resisted Paula's intention to talk to Joshep.

"There is nothing wrong in trying, after all, if it is true that the beauty of your assignment has something to do with misunderstandings as you said earlier, should not it be straightened out, he said, since there is nothing between us, especially between me and Joshep, there is no relationship, so I should be with whoever I'm close to, it shouldn't be a problem for him," it was explained Paula who remained in her stance to meet and talk with Joshep to straighten out the matter.

It could be, Willy misunderstood and the move has nothing to do with their closeness, Paula does not want any misunderstanding between the three of them later.

"I'm not asking you to talk and begging him not to be moved, I can take it. I just want to share my story with you!" Willy looks bad.

"I know, and I'm doing it not just for you, but for everything, including myself, I need to make sure that I'm not the cause of your move, because otherwise, I'll never calm down at any time and I don't want to be haunted by my guilt for the rest of my life, you've helped me a lot, and I don't want you to get into trouble because of me." Said Paula as she smiled her smile.

Tok,,, tok,, tok!

Long Paula paced back and forth on the highest floor where Joshep's room was on duty, before she finally steadied herself to knock on the high wooden door before her which read 'The Director's Room.

Nervousness, anxiety, cold heat, everything seemed to mix into one moment when the voice of Joshep was heard that allowed him to enter the room.

Paula's leg that still feels pain due to maturing in the meeting room suddenly feels linu back, either because of guup or because of what, or because of what, even his legs felt vibrating when he was about to step in when the door handle was successfully turned and pushed. The cold air of AC and Joshep's cold face gave Paula goosebumps.

"What's wrong? I don't feel like calling an office girl into my room?" joshep asked flat and sounded very cold.

"Ak-emh,, me, I, there's something I want to talk to you about." nervous Paula.

The existence of Joshep who is now the supreme leader in the hospital makes him feel between himself and Joshep increasingly separated by a very high wall, which is very high, not to mention the cold aura that Joshep is currently spreading makes him feel that he is nothing and nobody in front of Joshep.

"About?" Joshep raised his eyebrows.

"Wii-Willy. About Willy's move." nervous Paula again.

Joshep's intimidating gaze made her concentration crumble and made her even more nervous.

"I don't have time, and I don't take care of such unimportant affairs!" Joshep snorted in annoyance and threw away his face.

"But it's important to me, please!" Paula even once again knelt before Joshep's desk, after she had knelt while borrowing money for Kevin's treatment, now she repeated it.

When Joshep's anger peaked at once, he stood up from his chair and approached Paula with an unbearable anger.

"What do you think of me as, huh? Twice you knelt down for someone else in front of me, while when I yelled at you, you never even begged a single bit to get back at me, what did you consider me to be?" joshep shouted with reddened eyes.
