"I'll wait in the car," Roy said.
"Come on, accompany us around; you're a guide. I'll give you a reward," said Renata, and Roy's expression immediately changed.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. Come quickly and accompany us around," said Renata with her hands on her hips.
"Come on, sis. Let's shop as much as we want. I have a black card from my brother and father," Renata said excitedly.
"All right. We'll cost your brother a big loss." Angela chuckled, making Renata nod enthusiastically.
Roy just sighed and walked, following the two women in front of him.
Angela and Renata walked down the street; there were many stalls selling various goods and food lined up around them. Crowded clubs and cafes There are many foreign nationals walking around there.
Renata and Angela were excited to buy some goods and snacks there. Their conversation was so interesting that they couldn't stop laughing.
"You guys go; I'm tired. I'll wait at the cafe," Roy said, pointing at the cafe across the street.
"Okay. Later we will come to your place, "said Renata.
"Okay."
Too focused on their conversation, until he didn't realize there was someone on the rooftop of the building opposite. Two men were standing there.
"I'll go down and meet them. Then, shoot straight away. Remember, shoot me in the arm."
"Okay, boss."
A handsome man, wearing black glasses on his nose, walked away from that place.
Angela and Renata are choosing cute hats by the roadside. They were so focused and laughing merrily that they didn't pay attention to their surroundings.
bang!
"Ah!" Angela screamed in surprise when Renata's body was pulled by someone, and a gunshot was heard. The people there began to get restless and shocked.
"Rena, are you okay?" Angela approached Renata, who was in someone's arms.
Renata tilted her head, and her gaze immediately met someone's sharp gaze. Those dark eyes looked so scary, but for some reason they made Renata unable to take her eyes off in another direction. Very mysterious dark eyes.
"Are you okay?" asked Angela, very worried about making the man move from his position.
"Are you all right, Ren?" asked Angela, helping Renata to her feet.
"I'm fine, Sis," Renata replied. "Your hands are bleeding. You were shot earlier," said Renata, very surprised to see the handsome man's arm in front of him was injured, and you could see blood seeping into the jacket he was wearing.
"I'm fine. Thank goodness you're okay," the man replied. "Next time you have to be vigilant, there are many dangerous thieves here."
"We'll take him to the hospital, Sis," said Renata.
"Wait here. I'll call Roy," said Angela, who was nodded by Renata.
***
Renata waited anxiously for the man, who was being handled separately by the doctor. After waiting a few minutes, he came out with the doctor and saw his jacket tucked in his arm, with his left arm bandaged.
"It's finished?" she asked.
"Already. Just being fried is not a serious wound. Next time, be careful. There are a lot of thieves around," he said.
"Thank you very much, Master."
"Bastian," he said.
"Oh yes, Mr. Bastian. I am Renata, and this is my sister-in-law," said Renata.
"Angela," said Angela, shaking hands with Bastian.
"You already helped me earlier; how can I repay your help?" she asked.
"If we meet again, I will collect it," said Bastian, showing his charming smile.
"I must leave immediately."
Renata wanted to speak again, but Bastian had already left the place.
***
Today is Renata's first day doing COAS at a hospital. He had arrived at the big hospital and went to the head of the medical division's room. He came with three of his colleagues, who were also going to carry out the KOAs there.
The head of the section explained all the rules in this hospital. After that, he escorted the four of them to the doctor's office, where he would guide them.
"Good afternoon, Doctor. The KOAS students have come," said the head of the division.
"Let them in," said the doctor.
"Please come in."
The four people entered the room, and Renata's eyes widened when she saw the doctor in front of her.
"You? Mr. Bastian?" Renata shrieked without realizing it, making everyone look at Renata, who immediately smiled awkwardly and apologized.
"I'm sorry," Renata muttered with a small smile.
"Okay, I'll leave them here," said the head of the section, to which Bastian answered yes.
"Good morning, everyone," said Bastian, sounding firm.
"Morning, Doctor."
"Introducing: I'm Doctor Sebastian, a specialist in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery," said Bastian. "Please introduce your names."
"I'm Nova."
"I am Naufal."
"I'm Rifky."
"I'm Renata Cassaundra."
"Okay. Here are some informational forms that you need to fill out. Please fill it in, then give it to me. Bastian gave each person a piece of paper, including Renata.
"You do it in the next room, which is empty," said Bastian.
"Okay Doc."
One by one, they left the room, leaving Renata alone.
"Um, I didn't expect that you were a doctor and would become my guide," Renata said, looking into the sharp eyes in front of him.
Bastian smiled a little. "Yes, isn't this world very narrow?"
"Erm, has your wound healed?" Renata asked, glancing at Bastian's arm, which was covered in a doctor's robe.
"Already recovered."
"Thank goodness then; I'm relieved to hear that," Renata said, smiling sweetly.
"Because we meet again, I will collect your promise," whispered Bastian, who leaned over and whispered right in Renata's ear, making him shriek slightly with amusement.
"Now do what I ask. I'll collect the appointment later," said Bastian, who had straightened up again while putting his hands into the doctor's coat pockets.
"Okay," Renata said, smiling again, and she walked away from the room.
Renata entered the room where her friends had gathered around a round table. Renata took a seat beside Novita and took out her pen.
"What took you so long? You know that handsome doctor?" asked Novita, very curious.
"He is the doctor who helped me when I was in Bali. I already told you, right?" Renata said it with a beaming face.
"Are you serious? Wow, this world is really small, huh?" Novita exclaimed, quite surprised.
"You two are noisy. Hurry up and do the work," said Rifky.
"Yes, yes," Renata replied, starting to fill out the form.
Bastian secretly watched them from his room. Bastian could see clearly into the next room because window film surrounded the room; the other way around, he couldn't.
'It turns out that it's so easy to conquer a small and innocent woman,' thought Bastian, grinning sinisterly.
***
The four people are now following Bastian and two nurses to carry out examinations on patients who have undergone surgery or are about to undergo surgery. The four of them recorded everything in a report book.
Renata secretly watched Bastian, who was examining a patient. He is quite patient-friendly and takes his examinations seriously and thoroughly. His damage at that time was absolutely perfect, making Renata even more fascinated by him.
"Huss," Novita nudged Renata's arm, making her turn towards Novia.
"What?"
"Record," whispered Novita, making Renata smile, and she finally wrote down what Bastian had said.
Renata was enamored with him the more she noticed his good looks.
***
Currently, Renata is sitting in the pool at the villa. He recalled the incident of his first meeting with the man who turned out to be his supervising doctor.
The corners of Renata's lips turned upward as she recalled what happened a month ago. He really fell in love at first sight with the helper.
"He really is like a prince in a fairy tale," muttered Renata, smiling blushingly.
Who would have thought that this man would now be his mentor? And that succeeded in making Renata unable to focus on studying; she only focused on looking at the handsome man.
"How can he be that handsome?" he muttered, smiling happily.
"It seems that your first day was very memorable. He's been smiling ever since," said Angela, who came up to him and took a seat beside Renata.
"That's right, sis. Oh yes, Sis. Angela, you remember Mr. Bastian. He was the one who helped us when we were in Bali," said Renata.
Hmm, yes, remember. Why?"
"It turned out that he was my supervisor at the hospital. He turned out to be a surgeon; ah, this world is really narrow! "Renata exclaimed very happily but did not see a change in Angela's face.
"He's a doctor there?"
"Yes. He is very handsome; my heart even keeps pounding when I am close to him," said Renata, very enthusiastic about telling everything.
Angela just kept quiet and didn't say anything.
***
At a large hospital, Renata ran as hard as she could towards the surgeon's room. When he got there, it turned out that his mentor, Doctor Bastian, was already in the room with three of Renata's friends.
"Se-good morning!" Renata exclaimed in shock when all eyes were on her.
Bastian seemed to take a deep breath. It's been one week since they did Koas here.
"You all wait outside first," said Bastian, who was nodded by the three people. They left, leaving only Renata and Bastian alone.
"Doctor, I'm sorry."
"I didn't ask you to talk!" Bastian exclaimed sharply.
Bastian looked at the watch that was wrapped around his wrist.
"15 minutes!" Bastian exclaimed. "If in these 15 minutes there is an emergency patient that you have to save immediately, how about that? Are you going to ignore it and make the patient critical and even die?"
"I'm sorry," Renata muttered, lowering her head.
"Kid, you seriously want to be a doctor?" asked Bastian, making Renata glance at him.
"My name is Renata," he muttered.
"I didn't ask your name; quickly answer my question."
"I have studied medicine for 6 years and am also a specialist. And that's not a short time. I went through all of that because I seriously wanted to become a doctor," Renata answered, bowing her head.
"Time is the life of a doctor," said Bastian. "Just one minute late can be fatal for the patient. If you seriously want to become a doctor, the main thing is to study on time!" exclaimed Bastian. "It's even better if you come earlier."
Renata didn't answer and just lowered her head.
"Once again, you are late; you will be removed from my guidance list. You just look for another mentor; I don't need a Koas kid who isn't serious and just playing around," Bastian exclaimed, his face so serious and a cold aura spreading around him.
Usually, Bastian is always friendly and smiles a lot, especially when examining patients. At this time, Renata really felt scared and uncomfortable with the frightening aura emanating from him.
"Doctor-" Renata cried when she heard Bastian's story just now. He looked into Bastian's eyes with a sad look.
"If you still want me to be your mentor, then don't be late for even a second!" Bastian exclaimed.
"I promise. In the future, I will try not to be late," muttered Renata, bowing her head.
"I don't need your promises. Just prove your words!" Bastian exclaimed, making Renata silent.
"Now you don't need to take part in conducting patient examinations," Bastian exclaimed, surprising Renata. "You clean up all those files."
Renata looked at the pile of papers on the table, and there were so many of them. Maybe about 100 sheets.
"Enter that data into each patient's medical record number in the archives."
"But-"
"Want to add more punishment?"
"No, no. I will do it," said Renata.
"Good."
Bastian then walked out of the room, leaving Renata alone.
"Jesus," she complained. "Totally unlucky."
***
An hour passed, and Renata was exhausted because she had to get up and down the bench and look for the patient's medical record number to put the file in her file.
"Only 2 more, finally," he muttered as he walked to find his file by looking at the date and medical record number.
"On top again." Renata took a stool and put it away. He climbed up the bench intending to take the file stored on the top shelf, and it was quite high.
His hand reached up to take the file, but it didn't reach it.
"Why am I so short?" he grumbled. "Even after using the bench, I still can't reach it."
Renata stood on tiptoe and took the file with all her might.
"Eh, ah!" Renata lost her balance and almost fell from the bench, but strong hands managed to hold her body.
Renata collided with someone in front of him. Those jet-sharp eyes, which always managed to anesthetize him and make him curious I am curious to know what is hidden in that gaze.
For a long time, Renata was in the arms of the man in front of her with locked eyes.
"Brat, have you always been this careless?" The man exclaimed, awakening Renata's fixation.
"Uh, do-doctor Bastian."
Bastian put Renata down. Renata immediately straightened her hair and clothes to get rid of her nervousness. His heart was beating very fast.
"How many more?" asked Bastian.
"Two more!" Renata shouted, taking the two files, who then showed them to Bastian.
"The file is at the very top of both?" asked Bastian.
"Yes Doc."
Bastian took the two files without even using a stool.
"Here!" Bastian exclaimed, handing it over to Renata.
"Thank you, Doctor." Renata also put the files into the folder.
"Doc."
Bastian put it back where it belonged.
"Follow me," said Bastian, and Renata followed him.
Renata walked behind Bastian; she kept staring at Bastian's muscular back and imagining what happened a few minutes ago. He was so shocked that he felt his entire body heating up.
Dug
Renata touched her forehead as she bumped into something hard. He didn't know Bastian had stopped and made him crash into his muscular back. Bastian turned to look at her.
"Is your brow okay?" asked Bastian, making Renata look at him. And once again, their eyes met.
"Yes, I'm fine," Renata replied.
"Don't daydream while walking. You heard what I said, didn't you?"
Eh, that-" Renata could only show his grin.
Ah, really, this kid. You intend to study, no?"
"I mean, Doc," Renata exclaimed excitedly again.
"I said get ready to go into the operating room. I have surgery in 15 minutes!" Bastian exclaimed.
"Okay Doc."
Bastian has passed away, leaving Renata alone.
***
Currently, Renata is in the operating room with her four fellow interns. They were standing in a corner, all taking notes on what the Doctor did while operating on the patient.
It's been 2 hours, and the operation is not finished. According to the doctor during the briefing earlier, the operation would take quite a long time and could take 3 to 4 hours.
Renata and her three colleagues took turns sitting and standing to pay attention to the Doctor's activities. Renata had yawned several times, and she felt drowsiness, which was really hard for her to control.
"Don't fall asleep; you'll be punished again," whispered Novita.
"Gosh, my eyes are really heavy to open," complained Renata.
"Stop chatting and pay attention!" Doctor Bastian exclaimed, making Renata and Novita silent.
"Operation for the liver in children under five requires maximum precision and caution, lest there be bleeding because it can be fatal," Bastian exclaimed, making Renata and Novita look at the large screen that was mounted on a high wall. There are pictures of the internal organs that Doctor Bastian is stitching during the operation.
---
"Ah, what's wrong with my eyes? I'm so sleepy!" Renata exclaimed, sitting in the hospital garden, enjoying the coffee she bought. It was late, and he had missed his lunch because of the operation earlier.
"Eat, it's not lunch yet," shouted someone handing Renata a sandwich.
Renata saw her best friend, Novita, who now took a seat beside her while eating the sliced bread.
"Thanks. Aren't you eating rice with the others?" Renata asked about opening the bread package.
"I don't want to eat rice anymore," answered Novita. "By the way, your brother-in-law is back."
"Yeah, they left this morning. That's why I overslept," Renata replied. "By the way, Doctor Bastian, why does his attitude sometimes change?"
Change? What do you mean?" asked Nova.
"Sometimes it's kind, sometimes it's really fierce," Renata exclaimed, making Novita chuckle.
But I still like it, right?" teased Novita.
"What the heck?" Renata exclaimed, embarrassed.
"Just admit it again. I know how you like him," exclaimed Novita.
Renata could only smile while stuffing bread into her mouth.
***
"Are you hungry or greedy?" That exclamation made Renata choke on her food and see who the person who had just said that to her was.
"Doctor Bastian!" Renata exclaimed, wiping the corners of her lips slightly.
"Why eat alone?" asked Bastian, who took a seat beside Renata.
Currently, Renata is having lunch alone in the hospital garden. Actually, I cannot say lunch because it is almost evening.
"I'm late for lunch, so I just eat alone," exclaimed Renata with a small smile.
"Just eating sandwiches?"
"Yes, this is quite filling," Renata exclaimed, drinking the packaged milk she bought.
Bastian smiled at Renata.
"Wh-why?" Renata asked confusedly while wiping every corner of her lips for fear that there would be leftover bread crumbs in the corners of her lips.
"Nothing!" Bastian exclaimed. "How old are you? Why are you still like a child?"
Renata turned her head away in embarrassment. "Is something wrong?"
"Nothing; you are so cute."
Deg
Renata lowered her head. She felt so embarrassed, and her face at this time must have been as red as a tomato.
"Why look down? Raise your face," Bastian teased.
"Gosh, stop teasing me, Doctor!" Renata exclaimed, turning her face away because she felt embarrassed.
"Look at me; how dare you look away from your mentor?" Bastian teased.
"I have to go to the bathroom!" ran as fast as lightning, leaving Bastian, who smiled happily for teasing Renata.
After Renata left, Bastian's smile turned into a cold and scary face. He took out his cell phone and received an incoming call that had been vibrating.
"Hmm, why?"
"...."
"I told you, don't give me any orders, Dad. I don't like my plans being disturbed by other people." Bastian said it in a sharp tone.
"...."
"I have no intention of destroying that girl. So stop giving orders. I'm not a Christian that you can manage however you want!" Bastian spoke in a low whisper.
"...."
"I told you, you guys just take care of Danial and the Gonemanus family. Don't bother me anymore!" Bastian said he was turning off the phone.
Bastian sighed in annoyance.
Julian is not his biological father. He is the adoptive father who helped him when his family was destroyed. Both his parents were killed before his eyes. And at that time, Bastian got proof that it was the Wiratama family that had destroyed his family until there was nothing left of it.
Bastian vows to himself that he will destroy the murderer's family. Destroyed everything, leaving nothing left. Including Renata, he will destroy Renata's body and soul. That's Bastian's promise.
---
"What is Doctor Bastian doing?" muttered Renata, looking at the mirror in the bathroom. Gosh, it really just makes it pound."
For a moment, Renata's face flushed red, remembering Bastian's teasing. For some reason, lately Bastian has been teasing her and making her heart beat really fast.
Could it be that Sebastian is an angel without wings? Like her sister Regan, who became the angel for Angela.
Imagining that, Renata's face turned red again. The 21-year-old girl is truly in love with the man who helped her.
***
Night was approaching, and Renata was only able to go home because she was working on the last report from her friends. He had asked Doctor Bastian to clean up some medical records so that his colleague would not be left behind by his colleague, who had gone home and finished his report today.
Renata stood in the hospital lobby. The rain looked heavy, making Renata nervous. He tried to contact his family's driver but was never picked up.
crackle...
glear...
"Ah!" Renata screamed as she covered her ears and crouched down in fear.
The thunder was heard again, and the rain was very heavy. Renata has suffered trauma from thunder and heavy rain. He is also very afraid of large currents.
"Renata?" Renata did not care about those words. He kept his face hidden by looking down and covering his ears with his hands.
Renata felt someone's hand being pulled until she stood up straight, and her gaze immediately met someone's sharp and mysterious gaze. Renata's chest rose and fell with fear.
"Don't be afraid. Come with me," Bastian said, stroking Renata's head and leading her back into the hospital lobby. Bastian sees someone watching them. He was sure it was the guard assigned by the Wiratama family.
Bastian took Renata to sit on a chair near the elevator. He gave mineral water to Renata.
"Thank you, Doc."
Renata took a long sip of her drink. And close the lid again when finished.
Am I better?" asked Bastian.
"Yes, Doc. Now it's better, "said Renata.
"You have trauma from lightning?" asked Bastian.
"Yes. When I was playing whitewater rafting, I fell and was carried away by the current of the river, and the situation was when it was raining heavily and there was lightning. I was very scared and almost helpless; if only Sis Regan didn't find me immediately," explained Renata with a small smile.
"Don't keep remembering it, so you don't get scared even more," said Bastian, and Renata just smiled a little.
"Oh yeah, you haven't gotten an invite yet."
"Not yet. My family's driver hasn't picked up my phone since earlier," Renata answered.
"Come on, I'll take you home."
"Are you serious? But have you finished work?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm done with work. Come on, I'll take you home."
---
Currently, Renata is in Bastian's car, heading to his house. According to the information, they were stuck in traffic because there was an area affected by flooding. During that time, Renata tried hard to get rid of her fear of the thunder that kept blaring above her head. His hands clenched tightly, and his eyes closed.
Renata squealed slightly and opened her eyes when she felt a warm touch on her hand. He saw his hand in someone's big hand. Renata tilted her head so that her gaze met the jet-black eyes of the man in front of her.
Bastian smiled a little towards Renata, who was looking at him intensely.
"Don't be afraid," said Bastian.
Renata didn't even look away. He seemed to be adrift under Bastian's sharp gaze.
"I will remove your trauma. This lightning isn't that scary," said Bastian with a grin.
Renata was still frozen in place, as if giving Bastian a chance. With a slow movement, Bastian's hand, which was not holding Renata's hand, let go of its seatbelt. Then he leaned toward Renata. He pressed his lips against Renata's. At first, Renata was quite surprised, but she couldn't refuse or dodge. Renata could only close her eyes.
Seeing Renata's response, Bastian grinned a little as he crushed the plain girl's ripe lips. His hands held Renata's nape and pressed it to make their kiss deeper.
Bastian turned his face away and returned to his seat. They both smiled, and Renata immediately looked away with a blush on her cheeks.
Bastian cleared his throat slightly as he put his seatbelt back on. At that moment, the car in front of him was already moving, making Bastian step on the gas.
"Just now-" Renata was unable to continue her words.
"Think of it as reciprocation when I helped you in Bali. Erm, and it can be a sedative when your trauma relapses," said Bastian casually. Meanwhile, Renata felt that she was almost fainting because her heart was beating as if it wanted to jump out of its place.
This kiss was not his first. But it's really very memorable, especially when the fear comes. Renata really felt calmer.
"Ah, where is your home?" asked Bastian to awaken Renata's reverie.
"Oh yes." Renata typed the address on the touchscreen attached to the car dashboard.
Not long after, Bastian's car stopped in front of a luxury villa. He put his car in the Villa's shuttle because it was quite far from the main gate to the house.
"Erm, thank you very much, Doc," said Renata, avoiding Bastian's gaze because she was still nervous.
"You're welcome. And never be afraid again."
Deg
Renata froze when Bastian rubbed her head gently.
Renata cleared her throat slightly to clear her nerves. He smiled slightly at Bastian.
"Then I'm in."
"Yes."
Renata got out of the car. He was still standing by the car until it started to move. Renata waved her hand at Bastian.
On the second floor, Dave was seen watching them from behind the window while smoking his cigar. His eagle gaze kept watching Bastian's car as it left Villa's driveway.
