Fina rushed in towards Aiden who was holding his chest. For decades as a friend, of course Fina became worried if something happened to Aiden.
"Den, you're okay, right? Don't scare me! Remember, you don't have any children! Don't die yet!"fina said with an increasingly worried expression, rushing out her medical equipment.
"My heart was almost dislodged, and that's because you opened my door like a villager breaking through the door of a perverted couple's room" Aiden exasperatedly told Fina. Fina did not know that Aiden was holding onto her chest because Aiden was shocked when the door of her study was opened violently by Fina.
"So, are you okay?"fina asked as she frowned at Aiden's words and looked at Aiden who seemed to be fine.
"What do you wish I was sick for?"sahut Andien let out a rough breath.
"Roni chatted me, I was asked to see you in your office immediately, because someone poisoned you. That's why I'm so worried about you. Even if you are one of my best friends who is blangsat, aka not true, still I am worried if something happens to you," Fina said honestly.
Yes, Fina is a woman who has had four male best friends since Junior High. His four best friends are Aiden, who is very friendly and likes to spread charm, to become a Casanova as an adult. Rayyan is cold like ice blocks and flat like ironing boards. Roni who spoke stuttered and Andi who spoke softly.
Although the four best friends have a minus each, but four friends can be relied on Fina in any difficult situation. Always support and protect Fina as their only female best friend. Whatever happens, the four men remain by Fina's side and never leave Fina under any circumstances. Therefore, even though the five of them often argue, they remain friends.
"Close door! I want to have a serious talk with you" Aiden said with a serious face.
Without saying anything, Fina hurriedly closed the door of Aiden's room and returned to Aiden.
"So, what's really going on?"fina asked as she grabbed Aiden's wrist.
"What Roni told you is true" said Aiden.
"But you look fine. How did you escape the poison? And what poison was given to you?"fina asked after checking Aiden's pulse.
"I want to be poisoned with botulinum toxin. I wasn't exposed to the poison because I happened to have not consumed it at all" Aiden explained, exhaling violently.
"What's? Who did it? Botulinum toxin or botox can cause botulism. It will be fatal if not treated immediately. Can cause muscle paralysis, which ultimately leads to respiratory system paralysis that can lead to death,"
"Botulinum toxin works by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine so that the muscle cannot contract and temporary paralysis occurs. Partial healing will occur in 28 days and within 3-6 months, the muscle will contract again,"
"Acetylcholine plays a role in transmitting (transmitting) received signals or stimuli to be passed between adjacent nerve cells or at neuromuscular junctions,"
"Neuromuscular is a disease that can affect the nerves that control certain muscles. If the activity of the enzyme cholinesterase or acetylcholinesterase is inhibited then acetylcholine will accumulate causing continuous contraction and then depolarization occurs,"
"When this enzyme is inhibited, the amount of acetylcholine increases and binds to the muscarinic and nicotinic receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems. If acetylcholine increases, it will cause pain, swelling, or irritation to the eyes and also cause excessive sweating," explained Fina at length.
"Wait on! Waitaminute! What did you say? The botox? Isn't botox used for beauty, huh?"
"Yes. Botox or botulinum toxin is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and has been widely used to remove wrinkles on the skin This botulinum toxin or botox is the same thing used for Botox injections,"obviously Fina.
"So it seems," muttered Aiden who had understood after explaining Fina.
"Then, who poisoned you and how did you know you were poisoned?"ask Fina curiously.
"Your colleague. The neurologist in charge of my leg,"
"What?! What grudge are you with him, so he's reckless doing mall practice to poison you?"fina asked seemed surprised because she did not expect that her colleagues would do such a practice mall to her best friend.
"I don't know. I've only known him since my legs were paralyzed,"
"How did you know you were poisoned? How's the chronology of the events?"asked Fina who was feeling very curious.
"Initially, I didn't take the medicine that your friend gave me, because I felt nauseous when I smelled the scent of the medicine. Then, I suspect because he gave me a medicine that was not wrapped, so I could not know, what medicine he gave me. I told you Roni checked the drugs into another hospital lab. And this is the result," said Aiden while opening the paper that had been squeezed earlier on Fina.
Aiden also gave Fina the drugs that the neurologist gave her yesterday. Fina read carefully the lab results.
"The position is very low. But, if you continue to consume it, you can turn it off because of this botulinum toxin. I'll report him to the police station. He has to take responsibility for his actions" Fina said with a cold expression.
His best friend wanted to be killed by his colleagues, of course, making Fina very angry and unacceptable.
"Don't! I want to investigate what her motive is to poison me. I'll pretend to be experiencing what I'm supposed to be going through because of taking those drugs,"
"Then, how's your leg? If this is the case, I suspect you are not paralyzed with a small percentage of recovery as he said. I'm more sure your legs are only temporarily paralyzed. Don't you want to treat your feet? You have no pity for your young leaves feeling guilty for feeling the cause of your feet?"fina asked which made Aiden think of Yuniar.
If it wasn't for his cobra snake showing a reaction while with Yuniar, Aiden would never have been suspicious of the doctor, let alone with the drugs that the doctor gave him.
Because a little Aiden knows if a man who has a spinal injury and paralyzed legs like himself will have a small chance to have offspring. Most men who experience paralysis like himself will become impotence men. If you can still get an erection, then on average you will experience premature ejaculation.
"I'll take my medicine somewhere else. And I will treat people who can be trusted and try not to let anyone know that I am seeing another doctor. Do you have a doctor's recommendation for my foot? A doctor who can keep secrets?"ask Aiden seriously.
"There was. I would like to advise this doctor to you. But, he's a friend of mine from another country,"
"It's okay. Even better if he comes from another country. Because if I'm still seeing a doctor in this country, it's likely that the person who wants to harm me will know if I go to another doctor,"
"alright. I will contact my friend so that you can get treatment sooner," Fina said with a serious face.
Fina was very hopeful that Aiden could recover and walk normally as usual. Because as a friend, Fina also felt devastated when she found out that Aiden had to sit in a wheelchair because of her paralyzed legs.
Coincidentally Fina had also contacted her friend who was abroad. Fina has sent Aiden medical records that caused Aiden to become paralyzed. And his friend also said to bring Aiden to his country.
The news that Aiden gave about the practice mall that his friend had done at the hospital where he worked increasingly made Fina confident to send Aiden to seek treatment elsewhere.
As for Aiden, there was a glimmer of hope in the man's heart, if his legs could heal back. Because if he saw the reaction of his cobra while with Yuniar, Aiden felt that he was still normal as usual.
"If I can really heal, I won't let you go. You must forever be mine. Will teach you a lesson for having dared to tease me until I become tormented, "Aiden muttered inwardly.
If his leg was completely healed, Aiden was determined not to let go of Yuniar. Although Yuniar can't love her yet, Aiden will try to make Yuniar fall in love with her.
