My Obsessive Doctor

Once outside Doctor Bernardo’s room, Alberto wanted to cry, but he tried to hold back his tears so he wouldn’t cry. He wanted to cry not because he was sad, but because he was moved by Doctor Vega’s actions.

After all this time, he was bullied, and no one dared to openly help and defend him. Finally, someone dared to defend him and help him. That person is Doctor Vega.

He never thought that that person was Doctor Vega, whom he had just met that day. In the past, he thought that the people who would help him and defend him were Doctor Chico or Doctor Victor.

As it turned out, his guess was wrong. Doctor Vega has been identified as the culprit.

He immediately thanked God in his heart. “Thank you, God! You made me meet Doctor Vega and get to know her.”

He just kept silent and lowered his head. Meanwhile, Doctor Vega had been watching Alberto earlier.

In her heart, she said. “Why doesn’t he speak and he always keeps looking down? Is he daydreaming?”

“That’s enough! I’ll just talk to him!” Doctor Vega decided

Doctor Vega waved her hand in front of Alberto and said. “Hey! What are you doing? What’s wrong?”

Doctor Vega’s behavior made Alberto wake up from his reverie. He immediately tried to cover up everything that happened. “Nothing.”

“Why do you daydream?” asked Doctor Vega, confusedly.

“I’m not daydreaming.” Alberto lied.

“Then why have you been looking down, and your eyes are teary now?” Doctor Vega inquired as to Alberto’s reasoning.

“I just feel touched. I want to cry, but I try to hold back my tears. Because I’m embarrassed if I’m seen crying in front of you.” Alberto expressed his feelings.

“Touched? Why?” Doctor Vega was confused by Alberto’s reasoning. For her, there was no reason for Alberto to feel touched.

“Because of your behavior,” Alberto replied.

“Thank you for helping me and defending me!” Alberto thanked.

“You don’t need to say thank you! You deserve it, Alberto.”

“You really don’t deserve to be humiliated and hurt like that with them. You’re a human being who has dignity and status as a human being.”

“You can’t be humbled and put down like that. You can’t be called rude and treated like that.”

“Indeed, what are you?” asked Doctor Vega with emotion.

“Animal? No, right?” asked Doctor Vega again.

“No, but they always treat me like that,” answered Alberto.

“Then why do they do that to you? Because of their position?” said Doctor Vega again.

“The positions are only temporary. After death, all of that no longer matters. The only thing valuable is memory. They shouldn’t be like that.”

“And if you’re bullied by them, you should fight them! Don’t just be silent!” Doctor Vega gave advice.

“They will insult me even more if I fight them, Doctor Vega. Because of that, I am very tired and choose to stay silent. I feel that I can’t do anything anymore,” said Alberto very weakly, because he has been feeling very weak and he can’t do anything all this time.

He believes that no one can help him. His enthusiasm just reappears after that moment, and he feels that Doctor Vega is a person that God sent to help him.

“You know my position is only an intern, right?” Alberto made certain that Doctor Vega remembered.

“Yes, I know and I remember, but they shouldn’t be like that to you.”

“Yes. That’s true, but what can I do?” Alberto inquired as to what he could do.

“No one is defending me. You’re the only one who defends me.”

“Therefore, I feel touched, Doctor Vega. You’re like an angel who helps me,” said Alberto.

“Enough! Just do it casually!”

“Don’t exaggerate and don’t cry! They’ll be happier when they see you cry.”

“Okay, Doctor Vega.” Alberto tried to smile again.

“Anyway, please remember my message! Never cry or appear weak in front of them!” Doctor Vega asked Alberto to remember.

“Okay.”

***

That day is the first day that Alberto becomes Doctor Vega’s assistant. Of course, Alberto was busier than before because he had to carry out two tasks at the same time, as an intern in the pharmacy department and as an assistant to Doctor Vega.

That day Alberto was really busy until he felt very tired. As usual, Alberto missed his lunch again.

When it was time to go home, Alberto felt very tired. He immediately wiped his sweat away while complaining in his heart. “Oh! I’m so tired today!”

“Fortunately, I have finished my work here today. I only have thirty days left to intern here.”

Indeed, every day Alberto counted the time left in his internship because he felt uncomfortable working there.

At that time, Doctor Vega brought Alberto a bottle of drinking water and a rice box with sweet chicken. “Alberto, I bought a rice box for you! Here! Take it!”

“Thank you, Doc!” Alberto thanked her while he accepted it.

“Tomorrow morning, please help me again! Okay?” Doctor Vega stated.

“Okay, Doc.” Alberto was about to walk away, but at that moment, Doctor Vega immediately advised him to eat.

“Just eat the food now while we’re talking!” I’m sorry you haven’t had lunch and that you skipped lunch today! I’m afraid that you’ll pass out when you go to your home later.”

“No, Doc.” Alberto politely refused it.

“Just eat while it’s warm!” Doctor Vega was won over.

“I purposefully bought it right now, so it’s still warm. If you eat later, when you get home, it will be cold and won’t taste good.” Doctor Vega persuaded once more.

Indeed, what Doctor Vega said was true. She had just bought the food she gave to Alberto for the purpose she stated.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Eat it now! You’ve been tired all day, right?” said Vega.

“Yes, Doc.” Alberto nodded his head.

“Okay! Eat it right now!” said. Doctor Vega..

“Okay, Doc.” Alberto immediately took a chair and sat down. Then he ate the food given to him by Doctor Vega with gusto.

“What do you usually do when you’re at home?” asked Doctor Vega.

“Sleep, Doc. Or I’m studying or doing assignments.”

“Aren’t you going anywhere after you go home?” Doctor Vega was confused, because usually teenagers of Alberto’s age still like to go to other places in the afternoon or evening.

“No, Doc.”

“Why?” Doctor Vega asked Alberto why.

“It’s always tiring, Doc. It’s better; I’ll just take a rest at home. Not to mention if there’s a task that I have to do,” complained Alberto.

“Who gave you the task?” Doctor Vega was curious, because what she knew was that there was no task from the hospital or the doctors.

“From campus. “I have to study too.”

“Wow! You’re so diligent, Alberto!” praised Doctor Vega.

“Thank you, Doc!” Alberto thanked.

“When you do the tasks or study, is anyone accompanying you?” asked Doctor Vega again curiously, because she was curious to know whether someone was accompanying Alberto or not.

“No, Doc.”

“So, you’re just alone, right?” Doctor Vega confirmed

“Yes, Doc.”

“Is it okay if I accompany you?” Doctor Vega offered herself in a spoiled and mischievous tone, because she actually wants to accompany Alberto to Alberto’s house and live a life together at Alberto’s house like a couple who lives together.

“Huh? You want to accompany me to my home?” He spoke slowly because he was taken aback and did not expect Doctor Vega to offer something like that.

“Yeah, I want if you let me do that,” Doctor Vega replied, making Alberto’s hair stand on end, and Alberto immediately shuddered and froze in place because he was terrified.

Seeing Alberto’s frightened behavior, Doctor Vega immediately laughed because he found it funny. Meanwhile, Doctor Vega’s laugh gave Alberto the impression of horror, like the laugh of a devil.

Sweat began to drip profusely from his body, soaking his clothes. His face turned pale.

Doctor Vega, who knew Alberto was very scared, immediately said. “Just kidding! I just checked your response. I was curious about your response.”

Those words immediately calmed Alberto down and made him exhale heavily. After that, he said. “Ah! You just love making me panic.”

Doctor Vega immediately chuckled and invited Alberto. “If you want, later we can do tasks and study together here.”

Alberto’s eyes bulged, because he felt very shocked and he did not believe that he could study and do assignments with Doctor Vega. “Seriously? Can I?”

“You can, Darling! What’s the thing that I don’t give to you? I give everything for you if you want it!” said Doctor Vega.

“Ah, Doc! You do that like you did to your boyfriend,” Alberto teased, which made Doctor Vega laugh again.

“By the way, Doc, I’m sorry! I must go home now.” Alberto immediately said goodbye, because he did not want to waste any more time.

“Do you want me to drive you home? I can drive you to your home by my car.” Doctor Vega offered.

“No need, Doc. I can use my motorbike.” Alberto refused.

“It’s fine if you want.”

“No, Doc. “It’s impossible to leave my motorcycle at the hospital.” Alberto refused again.

“Okay.” After getting permission from Vega, Alberto went straight out to the parking lot.

Arriving at the parking lot, he immediately looked for his motorcycle. He got on his motorcycle and drove home.
