This morning Syifa focused on the apples she was peeling. He peels it carefully. Both of his eyes were fixed on the apple but his mind was carried away by Glen's figure.
In his mind was whether his decision was correct by severing ties with Glen. He knew this was wrong but how else he had to try it and he had to get used to his absence.
Everything has to be done even if it has to be, right? There was no hope for a girl like her. Death will be seen before the eyes. Is there hope to be able to live together while there are many things that are imagined in front of the eyes. The thought of death is always reflected in Syifa's mind.
"Doctor?"
Look at Syifa confused. He found the figure of doctor Bryan who looks to stand gallantly even the thing that looks strange to Syifa is the doctor Bryan who does not use a white doctor's suit as usual.
Things look a little weird. Doctor Bryan looks like a normal person. Syifa kept silent for a while looking at Dr. Bryan from the tip of her foot to the tip of her head.
Doctor Bryan smiled. His simple appearance. Jeans, black shirt hat and car keys in his right hand became an appearance that did not describe the figure of doctor Bryan as usual.
"Where's Doctor Bryan going? Today is a holiday, huh?"
"It's a day off, so the doctor wants us to pay off the appointment."
"What is the doctor's promise?"
"It seems you forgot."
Syifa was silent for a moment thinking about one thing.
"What promise?" the question was still not understood but a second later Syifa's eyes rounded staring at the figure of doctor Bryan who finally smiled like Bryan's doctor knew what Syifa was thinking.
"What is a serious doctor?"
Doctor Bryan nodded steadily.
"But Syifa did not want to walk the doctor. Syifa wants to rest in the room."
"A promise is a promise. The doctor has promised to take you for a walk and the doctor has to occupy it."
"But-"
"There's no but-a-edge! The doctor says stay with me there's no word of rejection!"
"But it's not like the doctor told you Syifa has to rest."
"Yes the doctor said to rest but the doctor said you should go for a walk with me, agreed?"
Syifa let out a breath. Finally he responded with a nod of agreement. How else should this be the request of the doctor anyway he was also bored in this place.
...🕯️🕯️🕯️...
"Why didn't you tell the doctor that Syifa was in a wheelchair?" syifa's comments made doctor Bryan who was pushing the wheelchair occupied by Syifa smile.
"Well, the doctor didn't say that you have to walk long distances you still have to pay attention to your health."
Syifa smiled slightly. He bowed playing his finger while looking at the hospital visitors passing by.
"Have you gone home?"
The voice of the question was thrown from the mouth of security who immediately opened the car door. Although the appearance of doctor Bryan who appears like an ordinary person but it seems the soul of the doctor in him is not faded even this hospital security can recognize Bryan's doctor.
Bryan's doctor opened the door and Syifa independently stepped down intending to get into the car but quickly Bryan's doctor held Syifa's wrist and Syifa immediately fell silent looking at Bryan's fingers that felt so warm on his arm.
Syifa's eyes moved against the eyes of Dr. Bryan, who was also looking at her.
"The doctor will help you so you don't have to try to get in the car."
"But Syifa can, doctor. Syifa is strong" he said, pushing Bryan's wrist slowly. He just doesn't want to if Bryan's doctor gets offended.
Doctor Bryan nodded as he held Syifa's shoulder to help her get into the car. The wheelchair was folded into the back of the car until finally the car doctor Bryan drove at medium speed out of the hospital area.
Throughout the journey Syifa only fell silent to look at the natural scenery out there even though his mind was still fixed on the figure of the man named Glen.
Every now and then Bryan's doctor glances at Syifa who doesn't seem to be enjoying the trip this time.
"What's wrong? There's something you seem to be hiding and you're keeping it tight."
Syifa simply fell silent then shook her head slowly. He breathed a long breath.
"Is the disturbing thing about your illness that you hide from both your parents?"
"Not a doctor."
"Then?"
"It's lai," he replied simply making doctor Bryan just nod slowly. It seems that this is very difficult for Syifa to say to him.
"Where are we going now?"
"To a place you like."
"Yes, you like the place where we go later. Do you like a place that makes you feel comfortable?"
Syifa remained silent for a moment.
"Yes Syifa knows" he answered, until the shadow of the bridge with the sea and the beach was imagined.
"Do you know the direction of this road?"
"of course. It's Syifa's favorite place. Syifa really liked that place. The doctor knew Syifa always came to that place if Syifa had a problem."
Dr. Bryan blinked both eyes several times. He saw that there was a sense of spirit emanating on Syifa.
"We're going there now" he broke up without further ado.
The car that drove at medium speed was finally pulled over on the side of the road where the smell and sound of beach waves smelled.
"Do you like this place?" ask Dr. Bryan while opening the car door.
"Yes, Syifa really likes this place."
"You want to use a wheelchair?"
"No doctor, Syifa wants to walk anyway Syifa is also tired of riding in a wheelchair."
"But you can?"
"Can doctor. Syifa is strong. It's not the doctors who always say that Syifa is a strong woman right?"
Syifa stepped off her foot on a wooden bridge long enough to leave Bryan's doctor smiling.
Dr. Bryan looked in all directions. His hands went into his pants pocket, walking leisurely behind Syifa, who stood holding onto the wooden bridge.
Doctor Bryan occasionally held onto his slightly moving hat as it was blown by the wind. He looked at Syifa. The girl was unceasingly smiling as if she looked fine and no problems happened to her.
Syifa closed her eyes then slowly she glanced at the doctor Bryan who was still staring at her faithfully.
"What's the doctor?"
"it's okay" replied Bryan, who immediately turned his eyes away. Focusing his gaze on the natural scenery that is ahead there.
"Doctor know? Syifa really likes this place that makes Syifa feel comfortable and peaceful. There's a lot of peace that Syifa got from this place."
"really?"
Syifa nodded.
"How can you enjoy this atmosphere?"
"How can you?" ask Syifa who asked back.
Doctor Bryan was silent.
"Every problem Syifa always comes to this place draws air characteristic of the beach and exhales it slowly and it feels very delicious and happy."
"really?" bryan asked the doctor in his mind and then he took a deep breath in a very soothing aroma and after that Bryan's doctor opened his eyes. The breath he did according to the instructions from Syifa made his feelings really feel comfortable and after that he looked at Syifa.
That is also true what Syifa said. Now he feels so calm.
"Great."
Syifa turned to hear the comment of doctor Bryan.
Syifa Smile that was engraved on her lips instantly disappeared just like that. His head felt dizzy, felt spinning making both of his legs that stood firm felt unsteady. It felt his gaze swirling, his body limp and...
"Shyifa!"
Bryan's doctor quickly caught Syifa's body, which had almost fallen.
Dr. Bryan was so panicked. He embraces Syifa who is touching her head that feels pulsating in there.
"Are you okay?" ask Dr. Bryan who is so worried. He looked at Syifa's face that looked so very pale it seemed he was wrong to take Syifa for a walk because Syifa's condition did not seem good.
"Are you okay? Does it hurt?"
Syifa grimaced the sign he had given an answer.
"Where does the pain appear?" asked Dr. Bryan so panicked.
Syifa shook her head it was hard to say that her head was so very painful and only a nod could she make.
Syifa's frowning forehead was gradually quiet. His face that had been trying to endure the pain had simply disappeared as Glen's figure was seen before him. He looked so angry.His face was flushed red, there was hatred and anger flaring up inside there.
