"Mrs. Dav," said three young nurses who ran into David as he exited the elevator.
David nodded his head and threw a friendly smile. The three nurses gave small screams at once. They were then seen whispering while laughing.
It's common knowledge that David is one of the prima donna in this hospital. What's more, his attitude that is too friendly makes some women have misunderstood the man.
David is indeed a person who likes to help others and cares about them very much, indiscriminately. Therefore, no wonder if there are some women who are carried away by feeling.
David stopped his steps right in front of a room. Smile expands. The news of Zenaya's return from the holidays has been heard since morning.
David knocked on the door twice, before finally opening the door of Zenaya's workroom. The woman was apparently enjoying a bowl of zuppa soup alone.
The man glanced at every corner of the room.
"David!" pekik Zenaya was surprised. The woman smiled.
David smiled. "May I join?"
Zenaya reviewed the small laugh. "Of course I can."
David stepped into Zenaya's room and closed the door.
"You don't usually have lunch alone. Where's your girlfriend all your life?" david asked with a joking tone. There's no trace of Grace in Zenaya's room.
Zenaya who immediately understood what David meant, then laughed. "He was here, but there was a sudden operation to be performed." The woman replied, "10 minutes ago maybe," he continued.
"You've eaten? I still have one serving of zuppa soup." Zenaya offered a bowl of zuppa soup nearby.
"I just wanted to take you to lunch" David said. The man took the zuppa soup. "Owns Grace who hasn't had time to eat, huh? Good thing, this food was destined for me," he licked.
Zenaya laughs. David looked for a moment at the woman's face that looked very beautiful in her eyes. A longing fell on David's heart.
"I heard from some of your fans, physiotherapy patients are enslaving. You can barely even spend time with lunch outside." The words of Zenaya made David realize from his daydream.
David stuffed a spoonful of zuppa soup into his mouth and chewed it. "really. Whether it's my luck today or not, there's one patient who just broke his promise. So I can be free for the next hour." David swallowed his food. The man then stood up to fetch the white water available in Zenaya's room.
"If you feel unable, you can hand over your new patient to Fanya or Melvin" Zenaya suggested. Fanya and Melvin are David's junior therapists.
" ... or, should I ask Papa for help?" ask Zenaya later. The man looked very tired. At first glance, he got David's eye bags that began to blacken. How not, besides being busy in the hospital, he was also busy holding seminars, and teaching on campus. So, David's bedtime must have been pretty wasted.
"No need, I can still do it." David smiled at the smile.
"Tell me if you need anything" Zenaya said as she continued eating. The woman looked so happy with just a bowl of zuppa soup in front of her. Every time he managed to enter a spoonful of food, Zenaya would mutter happily.
Seeing how to eat Zenaya is very funny, making David laugh. Moreover, when he found the food stuck to the corner of his lips.
David sat down in front of Zenaya. Unknowingly, the man reached out his hand to clean up the leftovers on Zenaya's lips.
Getting such treatment was too late Zenaya jolted. His eyes looked at David. David who was initially surprised by Zenaya's reaction was then surprised.
He had forgotten the status of that woman, at this moment.
"Ma–maf, I didn't mean anything, Zen, just ...." His finger showed the leftovers on Zenaya's lips before.
"A–aa, it's okay, Dav. Thank ye. I must look really silly." Zenaya laughed awkwardly. The woman cleaned her mouth with the food paper on the table.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, before David finally tried to open the topic again.
"What about your married life?" tanyanya.
Zenaya took the water and pressed it. "It's normal, just like any other couple." Answer the woman. He tried to suppress his feelings, when someone tried to discuss his marriage with Reagents.
"Thank God. I know well enough about the Krystal family, and as I know, the Walker family is a distinguished and generous family. I heard that they had an orphanage that was far from here, before it was taken over by the local government" David said at length.
Zenaya was quite surprised by the information David provided. Understandably, the woman still did not know anything about her two in-laws.
"I don't think you're a part of them." The man smiled.
There was no more chance for David to get close to Zenaya. The woman had possessed another man far above her, and David would never intend to seize Zenaya. Unless Zenaya's husband is not a good man. However, he was very confident that their marriage was very happy.
Can he still enjoy this friendship?
"You never told me that." Zenaya opened her voice.
"Just like you who never told you stories."
Zenaya was silent to David's reply on target. He can't say anything.
David laughed a little. She wanted to pinch Zenaya's nose, but the man tried to restrain himself.
"Alright, we're even." Zenaya smiled widely. The two laughed together.
Yes ... Although it was just a friendship, David did not mind at all.
...***...
Liam was walking towards his room, after exiting the operating room. His fairly solid schedule made the middle-aged man did not have time to meet Zenaya who had returned to work. They only had time to exchange news over the phone when the woman came home.
"Pa!" zenaya's shout made Liam surprised. The child was waiting for him in the room.
Zenaya hugged her father tightly. Not to forget, a sweet kiss landed Zenaya on both cheeks Liam.
"Why not go home? It's already night." Liam glanced at the wall clock. The time has shown at 8 p.m. Zenaya should have been home since 4.
"When I was about to go home, I unconsciously went around and gossiped with the people here." Zenaya laughed a little. "At the same time, Dad's son-in-law said it would be too late." His face suddenly changed rapidly. He looks pissed.
Liam smiled as he pinched Zenaya's tiny nose.
"Have you not come home yet?" ask Zenaya later.
"Newly will. You waited for Rey to come, right? Then, Papa accompany."
The two are also fun to talk while enjoying a cup of warm tea made by Zenaya.
In front of her family, Zenaya turns into a spoiled sweet girl. Several times Liam asked how his life with Reagen was, and Zenaya would always answer, that everything was fine. Although it had to be seasoned a little lie, it felt better than to worry him.
Zenaya was completely reluctant to tell the insipidness of the household life she lived.
Moments later, Zenaya's phone rang loudly. Reagent apparently called her to tell her that she was waiting downstairs.
"I'm in Papa's room, man,"
"I'll be there."
In less than five minutes, Reagents reached Liam's room. The man bowed respectfully to his father-in-law.
Liam is no longer as cold as he used to be. Nevertheless, he had not fully trusted the Reagents.
Reagents offer Liam to go home together.
"You go home first, Mama will come to pick you up. We also want to spend time together like you," Liam lusted.
Reagent and Zenaya smiled. The two left in front of Liam.
"Be careful driving, Rey," Liam said.
"Well, Pa," replied Reagen.
The man escorted the two to the doorstep of the room.
As soon as Reagen and Zenaya walked away, Liam's eyes turned wry. The middle-aged man knew that the story of the child must not be entirely true. Zenaya is seen suppressing her feelings while telling her about their lives.
Liam sighed. She desperately hoped that her beloved daughter could eliminate all the shackling trauma, that way, she could accept the Reagent completely.
