Karin walked down the hospital corridor, with a little haste.
Without looking left or right, Karin immediately went into her study.
This morning, Karin was assigned to look after a young man who was in the VIP room of Mawar number fifteen.
With a smile that always bloomed on her beautiful lips, Karin came out of her office to the patient room that she would personally care for.
Karin carries out her routine as a nurse at a large hospital in Surabaya, which she has been in for almost two years.
There are many joys and sorrows that Karin experiences with her patients, from obedient patients to angry patients, and that all makes Karin smarter in analyzing each patient's character.
Karin's heart was a little hesitant when she accepted her new assignment, because according to her friends this one patient was very cold and heartless even though it was towards women.
Approaching room number fifteen, Karin took a deep breath, she prayed to herself that her patient this time would not complicate her work like her friends did.
She knocked lightly on the patient's room door, and slowly opened the door.
The patient's face appeared on his bed with a half reclining position.
"Really very handsome, this man's face, really like the faces of Korean artists," said Karin to herself.
"Good morning Mr. Aska Aliando." Karin said with a sweet smile.
As a patient, Aska replied with a smile as well.
"Good morning Nurse," Aska did not continue because he did not know the name of the nurse who would take care of him.
"Karin," said Karin quickly, knowing what Aska was saying that didn't continue.
"Nurse Karin, what a lovely name." said Aska after knowing the name of the nurse who cared for him.
"Oh yes, excuse me, Mr. Aska .. I will first check Mr. Aska's temperature, after that I will give you a vitamin injection." Karin said asking Aska's permission to give him a vitamin injection.
"Nurse Karin, can I just take the medicine? Honestly I don't want the injection." said Aska honestly.
"Why doesn't Mr. Aska want the injection?" Karin asked, a little surprised, it's a grown man but doesn't want to be injected.
"I'm afraid of syringe." answered Aska a little embarrassed.
"If you're afraid ... just close your eyes, Mr. Aska, and it won't hurt, it's just like being bitten by an ant," Karin persuaded.
"Nurse, do I look old?" Aska asked, staring at Karin's face, which looked very beautiful.
"Looks still very young ... why is it Mr. Aska?" Karin replied back to Aska's staring eyes.
"If I look young ... can you just call me by my name." asked Aska who felt awkward being called Karin as Mr.
"Okay ... if that makes you happy Mr Aska Eh ... Aska," said Karin with a smile.
While preparing the syringe, Karin rubbed the back of Aska's hand which had an IV needle attached and pulled it out slowly to immediately inject vitamins into Aska.
Still inviting Aska to talk, Karin tried to divert Aska's attention to small talk with a joke.
"If I may know ... do you already have a lover Ka?" asked Karin in a casual manner.
"Not yet ... why? Do you want to be my lover." asked Aska with a smile.
"Erm, are you kidding?" asked Karin, who couldn't believe the sincerity of a man.
"I'm serious, if you want ... I'm very happy ... so, how? Do you want to be my lover?" Asked Aska again staring at Karin's face which looks so charming.
"Of course why not, but I have conditions that you have to meet, do you want to know the conditions?" asked Karin by starting to put the drug in the syringe.
Without realizing it, Aska, who was still engrossed in his conversation, Karin tried to slowly inject Aska.
"What are the conditions? Ouch," Aska shouted experiencing pain like a stab in the back of his hand.
"Aaahhhh ... you injected me, you cheated." shouted Aska to Karin.
Karin smiled broadly, triumphantly.
With a smile, Karin answered Aska's question which had been cut off due to the sudden injection.
"The condition is if you are brave with an injection then I want to be your lover." said Karin with a crisp laugh.
"You're cheating." hissed Aska holding back his annoyance because Karin played him.
"I already told you the conditions, because you can't fulfill the conditions, so you don't deserve to be my lover." said Karin with a smile, tidying up the syringe.
"Nurse when can I come home?" asked Aska, changing the subject.
"Wait for the lab results to come out tomorrow morning ... if the lab results are good then you can go straight home," explained Karin.
"Am I sick, Nurse?" asked Aska,
"For the time being the results of your examination are stricken with typhus ... but still we have to wait for the lab results ... so be patient, Ka," said Karin, comforting Aska.
"Can I ask for help?" Said Aska begged Karin.
"Sure ... ask for what?" asked Karin as she approached Aska.
"Be my lover from now on ... I will pay whatever you ask." said Aska earnestly.
"For that matter I can not help you, and why should you ask me for help? Why not the others?" asked Karin in surprise.
"Because I believe, only you can help me," answered Aska with a serious face.
"If I ask for all your treasure ... will you be able to fulfill it?" snarled Karin with absolute certainty, because Aska wouldn't want to comply.
"Very well ... I will fulfill your request." answered Aska with certainty.
Karin paused and started thinking hard, she couldn't do it, but Aska agreed.
"Alright ... how long should I be your lover?" asked Karin so desperately accepted it.
"Only six months." answered Aska shortly.
"Okay deal ... I'll take your word," said Karin not really, she just wanted to know Aska's reaction.
"Wait ... I'll make the contract letter, so you can't easily run away from me." said Aska quickly.
"All right ... whatever, let me take a break now, because it's time to rest." Karin said as she took her tools, and left Aska Aliando's room, who is now her lover.
***
The agreement letter has been made by Aska and handed over to Karin.
Karin glimpsed, in the agreement it was stated that if Karin could complete her six-month contract as Aska's lover, then all the assets owned by Aska would belong to Karin.
She put the letter of agreement in her bag, but Aska forcibly retrieved the letter that was already in Karin's bag.
"Hey ... what are you doing !! You haven't signed the agreement ... please sign first, let me take a copy ... then you can save the letter!" shouted Aska earnestly in his agreement.
"Asssshhh, with your signature is enough." said Karin slightly indifferently.
"No !! You have to sign too ... I don't want to be fooled by you!" said Aska with a serious face.
"Fine ... come over, let me sign it." said Karin while taking the letter of agreement rudely from Aska.
Annoyed by the signature of the letter, when it was finished, she handed it back to Aska.
"Don't forget the photocopy!" Karin continued staring into Aska's face.
"So when can I go home? Isn't the lab results out today?" Asked Aska, tired of the hospital atmosphere, he wanted to get out of this hellish room.
"Wait ... let me ask when the lab results come out." Karin said immediately going out to ask Aska's lab results.
In the room for taking the lab results, Karin asked one of her close friends to explain the lab results, so she could explain it to Aska, even though Karin knew that the right to tell and explain the lab results was Doctor Heru who handled Aska.
Karin was very surprised by the lab results that her friend read, where it was written that Aska Aliando had stage four leukemia, which the patient had to seek treatment and therapy throughout his life. Because Aska's leukemia is in stage four, it is estimated that Aska's life will only last four to eight months.
Karin was confused, how could she explain it to Aska, this was beyond Karin's expectation.
After she signed a contract letter as Aska's lover, it turned out that Aska had a disease that could kill Aska at any time.
With a heart still in shock and almost in disbelief Karin entered Aska's room.
Karin's face was very nervous when she arrived at Aska's room. Aska quickly straightened he back when he saw Karin coming. Aska's heart felt uneasy when he saw Karin's pale face.
"How? When will my lab results come out? And what's with your face? When will Doctor Heru explain it to me?" asked Aska with a serious face.
Karin looked sadly at Aska's face.
"It's possible that Doctor Heru will be here soon to explain to you. But I asked my friend to see your lab results at a glance, your lab results show you are positive for stage four leukemia." Karin explained as she took a deep breath.
Aska's body slumped from his seat, his bones felt weak at once, this disease was really not on his mind.
Aska remembered the last few months he felt his body was always weak, and often had a sudden fever, and in the last week he had a nosebleed.
Aska was silent, not thinking that he would be crushed and die.
Karin really feels Aska's sadness, sadly in Aska's hand, a man she just met and now her contract lover.
Although Karin has no feelings of love for Aska, just like a human with a heart, Karin feels Aska's sadness.
"You have to be strong ... and you have to seek medication and therapy regularly so that you can recover." Karin said encouragingly to Aska.
Aska turned his head, looked at Karin with his blue eyes.
"Will you accompany me ... until I recover?" asked Aska with a hopeful heart.
Karin nodded with certainty. She did not hesitate to help Aska get well for the sake of humanity.
"Do you want to hug me? Let me have the spirit to recover?" said Aska in a hoarse voice and a sad heart.
Without answering Karin hugged Aska with a warm hug.
"Calm down, everything will be fine." said Karin to calm Aska's heart.
