When Dusk Passes

When Dusk Passes
Hospital



The final semester exam has passed leaving drama-style student nurses, and for the first time they will carry out an internship practice at the Local Government's General Hospital.


The hospital, located in the heart of the small town, is a cluster of one-story buildings connected by a long, pale-white corridor, with a large banyan tree towering to the right of the gate,looks like a tree man in the lord of the rings movie who is ready to pounce on every evil goblin that passes by.


There was a human-sized statue of a mother breastfeeding her child in front of the Hospital, the statue as if it could live if night came.


Pak Bagus as the lecturer in charge of field practice has divided students into several groups, each group consisting of 10 people will serve in different rooms. Lira is in the row of group number two with Azka, she is separated from Yunia who is in group one.


Today they have not got the official schedule, only the orientation of the practice location and get acquainted with the existing guard nurses. Just this time Lira went around the Hospital in her city, before she had only seen the IGD room where her high school friend used to be stitched and the jasmine room where a neighbor she had once visited with her mother.


Walking on the Corridor of the Hospital reminds Lira of the horror film genre with the main character of the nurse set in the Hospital, call it like a ngesot film, or ward 13 film. Lira shuddered if she remembered.


Lira whispered to Azka who was walking right beside her.


" Ka, you dare not if the night service continues to be told to push the gurney through this corridor?" ask Lira.


" Yes, be brave, fear." Ketus Azka's.


" But if suddenly at the end of the corridor, you are worried how are there nuns? or is there a wheelchair that runs itself?" said Lira again.


"Geez Ra, you mostly watch movies, sacrifice movies, where there is a wheelchair on your own if not pushed." Azka said while tapping Lira's forehead with her long index finger.


"ahaaha."


They finally laughed together.


In the first week Lira and her friend who was in group two got official duties in the IGD room, then every week they will roll to all rooms in the Hospital, which is located in the hospital, except the ICU room, because in the ICU room patients must be treated intensively so that interns are not allowed to be in it.


The service schedule consists of three shifts, morning shifts starting from 8 am to 2 pm, sift afternoon from 2 pm to 8 pm and sift night from 8 pm to 8 am tomorrow.


The first day the Lira gets a night shift schedule, she's one sift with Azka.


Drrt....


the message appears in the phone Azka.


The guy opened it lazily while sleeping in his room, Azka took a nap because he was preparing for his maiden night service tonight.


" Yes, what's up again? tonight go out with ya, pick me up." Azka reads a message from her best friend Lira.


Somehow after reading the message his spirit so increased 3 times than before. With his long finger he typed a message.


" Don't want to, ride your own ojek, usually you never want to be invited to the weekend," joked Azka while smiling to himself.


Drrt.drttt incoming message.


" Geez ka, it's time to my friend, the night the beautiful girl can't ride the ojek you know, how am I kidnapped?" Azka smiled amusedly at Lira's message.


This girl is really adorable.


"hahaaaaa..Where are beautiful girls? seen from the tip of the pipette is still ugly." Ledek Azka's.


"Yes, if you don't want to, tomorrow I want to find a boyfriend ahhh, let's not ask for help just as ugly clown as you." Azka who read Lira's message suddenly felt a strange sensation in her chest.


"Hhhhh, you want to find a girlfriend?" azka's mind while shaking her head, where possible, because she knew exactly that the girl would not violate the principles she made herself, Lira was a girl who had strong principles, she said, he won't have a girlfriend until he finishes college and gets a job.


No wonder the Lira makes an invisible Circle for herself, a circle that borders it so that no one can get in there.


"I'll pick up at 8 and a half." Azka replied later.


" siipp, siaap bosque." Reply Lira.


Azka smiled and read it and threw her cellphone on the pillow and slept again.


Azka woke up when the ashar adhan was reverberating from a mosque located about 1 block from his house, quickly he woke up, took ablution water and ran small towards the mosque.


The day has shown at 19:20 as the Lira sits waiting for her best friend to be house-supervised, wearing a white top uniform and white base pants paired with a matching white hijab and white pantofel shoes making the girl look graceful, the weather looks cloudy, small drizzles begin to dance in the air, occasionally heard the roar of the vehicle horn and then pass at the crossroads near the Lira's house.


The lira has started to look riled up because what is awaited has not yet appeared. He took his phone and pressed the name Azka on the mobile screen.


Azka was turning on the motor when the phone sounded from behind her pants pocket. Seen a call from the Lira on her screen.


" Ka, where?" Lira immediately nyerocos without saying Assalamualaikum.


"Wait a moment, I'm on the road again" Azka said on the phone.


"Yes, hurry up, it'll rain." Reply Lira.


Azka drove her vehicle at moderate speed, the road still looked crowded even though the small drizzle had slightly turned into a heavy drizzle, Azka was speeding up, and arrived in front of Lira's house.


The girl was standing on the edge of the fence, already wearing a full coat that covered her entire body except her face and legs. In front of the door stood the middle-aged woman who was Lira's mother.


"mak, Lira's leaving." Lira said goodbye to her mother and then immediately sat in the back seat of the Azka motorbike.


Azka had cloned the sign and Lira's mother nodded as she said, "Be careful."
