Chapter. 7 Getting More Nervous

"Young ladies? But your eyes are only focused on Love. What a flirt!" said, Vini.

"Ha-ha-ha." Robin laughed lightly.

"Love is definitely more elegant than you, Vin. You come across as very tomboyish! Be a bit more graceful, like Love." Robin teased again.

"Hey! Who are you to judge me?" Vini replied, not liking Robin's comments.

Vini, Kasih's friend. Equally attractive, she has long flowing hair and a captivating oriental face. But that was before. Since Vini's breakup and the bitterness of a broken heart, she has transformed her appearance and now appears more tomboyish.

It seems Vini doesn't want to know men anymore. She's traumatized by her failed love story due to infidelity. For this reason, she's closed herself off from love.

The three doctors are currently having breakfast in the cafeteria near the hospital lobby.

Robin has been sneakily glancing in Kasih's direction for a while. It seems he's quite taken by her. Besides her beautiful appearance, Kasih also has a good personality and is friendly to anyone, making many patients at the hospital like her.

"What time are you going home today, Kas?" Robin asked out of the blue during their morning meal.

"Hmm, I might leave a bit earlier. After the rounds, I'm going to Oma Meri's room."

"What else are you doing, Kas?" Robin still wants to know Kasih's plans.

"Hey! Why are you so nosy, asking Kasih what she's going to do? Taking a population census, Robin?" Vini retorted, half-mocking Robin.

"What's with you, Vini? So annoying! I was asking Kasih, not you!" Robin, not backing down, replied to Vini's jab.

"Come on, what's wrong with you two? Stop arguing like that. There are families of patients in this cafeteria. You shouldn't argue like this where others can hear," Kasih tried to advise her two friends.

"Robin started it, Kas!"

"Easy for you to say! You keep trying to provoke me!" Vini, not one to back down.

Getting increasingly frustrated listening to their endless argument, Kasih intentionally left them in the cafeteria.

Vini, realizing Kasih was leaving, quickly said, "Kasih, wait for me! Where are you going so fast?"

"It's time for patient rounds, guys," Kasih deliberately avoided Robin's personal questions.

"Kas ... wait for me! We'll do the rounds together!" Vini said, matching Kasih's increasingly faster pace.

Robin was left alone in the cafeteria.

"Kasih, why do you always avoid me? Is there no chance left for me to get closer to you?" He whispered in his heart.

Robin has liked Kasih for a long time, since their college days. His feelings began to develop back then. Unfortunately, Kasih has never given him the opportunity to express his true feelings.

Kasih seems to avoid him when he tries to start personal conversations.

What Robin knows is that Kasih has never been close to any man. As a result, Kasih's behavior confuses him. However, Robin's love for her remains strong and even intensifies.

After finishing the rounds, Kasih parted ways with the other healthcare team members. She then walked to the VVIP room where Oma Meri was being treated.

Kasih knocked on the door, and a "come in" was heard from inside.

Kasih entered the luxurious room.

Inside the room, there were Doctor Roland and some nurses checking Oma Meri's blood pressure.

"Good morning, Oma. Good morning, doctor," Kasih greeted them.

"Good morning, Kasih," Doctor Roland replied.

"My dear granddaughter... you've come?" Oma Meri said with joy upon seeing Doctor Kasih visiting her now.

"Doctor Kasih, from here on, I entrust Oma Meri's care to you," Doctor Roland said.

"Understood, doctor," Kasih replied.

"Doctor Roland, don't forget, starting next Sunday, Doctor Kasih has permission to take a break from the hospital," the hospital's owner, Oma Meri, asked Doctor Roland for a favor.

"It's not a problem, Oma. At the end of the week, I'll issue a leave letter for Doctor Kasih," the doctor replied to Oma Meri.

"Thank you, Dr.," Oma Meri said, and the doctor nodded.

After the doctor's team left, Kasih prepared breakfast for Oma Meri. She patiently fed her grandmother.

"Oma, you have to eat a lot, okay? So you can recover quickly and go back to your daily activities," Kasih said gently.

"Of course, dear. Oma will become healthier. Especially with you always here for Oma. It gives Oma the motivation to get better," Oma Meri said happily.

This morning, Oma Meri finished all her breakfast. Even when it came time for medication, Kasih faced no difficulties, unlike in previous days.

Oma Meri has become very obedient now, and Kasih is extremely grateful for that.

"Kasih ..."

"Yes, Oma, why did you call me? Do you need something?" Kasih asked, about to leave Oma Meri's treatment room so she could rest.

But one thing Oma Meri said stopped Kasih in her tracks. She walked back to the bed where Oma was lying.

Oma Meri immediately reached out her hand to Kasih, who accepted it. She said, "You keep Oma company for a while."

"Alright, Oma."

"Thank you, Kasih, for accepting the arranged marriage with Faith."

"Yes, Oma," she replied shortly.

"Oma can't wait to see you both walk down the aisle. Oma is looking forward to holding her great-grandchild." Happiness sparkled in Oma Meri's eyes.

Kasih could only smile and try to push aside her anxiety as she held Oma Meri's hand tightly.

"Maybe next week, Faith will return to Jakarta. After everything is settled, you should get married as soon as possible. Oma can't wait to hold her great-grandchild from both of you," Oma said again.

Next week, as mentioned by Oma Meri, is just a few days away, which makes Kasih even more troubled. Her heart is racing with anxiety, thinking about what she should do when Mr. Faith returns from abroad.

Visite is a visit to in-patients with a team of doctors and other healthcare professionals.
