Chapter 22 - Viona Angel

Since Viona's departure from London, the muffin shop atmosphere had become quiet because Jenni and Amina were basically quiet people. They were drowning in the same longing for Viona's presence. They saw her as the savior of their lives. Jenny was a drug addict who almost died if Viona didn't help her. In her early days as a doctor, Viona painstakingly helped Jenni get her act together and quit drugs.

Amina's fate was worse. She was almost made a prostitute by her uncle since her parents died. She met Viona when she was booked by a client at the hotel where Viona was staying while attending a seminar. Because of that incident, Viona had scar on her left arm because she was slashed by a knife from a bouncer under the man's order.​​

"Look at them, Jenni" Amina said quietly, pointing to the front door of the shop where she saw several doctors. Amina knew they were doctors from the same hospital as Viona.

"I know," Jenni replied nervously.

The doctors immediately entered with a sharp, intimidating look at Jenny and Amina, who stood behind the window. One of the doctors and even flipped the OPEN sign board into CLOSED.

"Where is Doctor Angel?" Professor Frank asked Jenny and Amina, who looked shocked.

"Who?" Asked Jenni back nervously.

"You're a friend of Doctor Angel, right?" said Doctor Ashley impatiently.

"Please tell us where is doctor Angel," asked Professor Frank again, seriously. "We already know that you are Angel's family, so please cooperate."

Jenny looked uncomfortable being questioned by the doctors in front of her, while Amina just looked down in fear. With a stammering voice, Jenny finally told the truth about where Viona went.

"Canada??"shouted all the doctors in unison.

"Yes, Viona returned to her home country but we don't know where her home is because she didn't tell us her address," said Jenny sadly.

"Viona? "Asked doctor Brian. He was confused because the two girls in front of him always said that name.

"Doctor Angel you are looking for is actually Viona Angel, and we are used to calling her by the name Viona," said Amina with a stammer.

"We don't even know her full name," grumbled Doctor Ashley irritatedly, This beautiful doctor didn't believe that Viona's name was only Viona Angel.

"Yesterday, she told us that he had arrived in Canada but her cellphone number is no longer active," said Jenni, showing her cellphone in front of all the doctors.

They immediately scrambled to read the message from Viona on Jenni's cellphone. Some of the doctors immediately fell limply on their chairs after reading the message from Viona.

"She's really gone," said doctor Darren the senior doctor, weakly.

"Actually, why are you all looking for Viona?" Asked Jenni curiously.

Finally, doctor Brian told them why they were looking for Viona. Some of the patients previously treated by doctor Angel refused to be treated by other doctors. Some of them even made a petition to get doctor Angel back because there was a rumor circulating that the hospital had fired her. The rumor made patients and their families angry.

This finally made the management want to ask Doctor Angel to return to work at the hospital again. The hospital finally knew that it was because of the beautiful doctor's kindness and diligence, that the patients preferred Angel's doctor as their doctor over other doctors.

"Viona doesn't only have external beauty, but also inner beauty," said Amina. She felt moved after hearing doctor Brian's story.

"Maybe you will never be able to bring Sis Vio back to London forever," said Jenny sadly.

"What do you mean!" shouted prof Frank in surprise.

Jenni again showed an incoming message from Viona on her cellphone. In that message, Viona said that she had found a part-time work at an orphanage in Canada without telling the name of the orphanage and in which city she was in.

Viona only sent a picture of herself carrying a baby and surrounded by small children, smiling sweetly.

The male doctors seemed fascinated by the photo of Viona on Jenni's cellphone. They admire how beautiful she looked in the photo while posing with children.

"Is this Doctor Angel?" asked doctor Toni in disbelief.

"Yes, this is Viona," Amina replied softly.

Professor Frank didn't seem to blink, seeing Viona in the photo. The girl lowered her long hair down to her back. She was wearing faded jeans and a white shirt that was tucked inside. They felt like they saw a new person.

"Canada, right?" Prof. Frank muttered softly.

"Yes, Doc, but we don't know where she lives. Viona never told us about her past life in Canada. We only know that Viona was raised in an orphanage too," said Jenni as she took her cellphone back from the doctors.

"Whattt?!!" all the doctors were in shock when they heard her.

With a deep breath, finally Jenni and Amina told them what they knew about Viona, how she struggled to study medicine, and the reason why she was trying so hard to become a doctor.

BANG

The sound of the table being hit by professor Frank, after Amina and Jenni ended their stories, he then left the shop while running.

"You silly girl," said Professor Frank irritated. God knows what made him feel sick when he heard about the beautiful doctor's past.

The man continued driving his car at high speed towards the hospital.

***

Feeling sad, the doctors in Viona's shop finally came home after learning about Viona's whereabouts. They never thought that this doctor had a hard past. She had to live alone and take care of herself because she didn't have parents. doctor Ashley was still in shock when she found out who her best friend was.

She never thought that doctor Angel who looked perfect, would come from an orphanage. She was sad to know Viona had a miserable life. Ashley felt she was a bad friend because she didn't know anything about doctor Angel. She didn't even know her home address.

***

Professor Frank's car stopped at the hospital. He immediately ran out of his car and went into the director's room. Not long after, he was seen returning to his room and clearing his stuff into a box.

Apparently the professor, who had only worked for a month, resigned because he was disappointed with the hospital management for making Doctor Angel leave. The hospital could not coax the young professor to stay.

"I'll find you, Doctor Viona Angel," Professor Frank muttered softly as he walked out of the hospital to his car.

SUNSHINE ORPHANAGE

"Atchooo!"

Viona sneezed repeatedly

"Go see the doctor, Viona," said Mrs. Carol softly when she saw Viona keep sneezing.

"It's okay, ma'am," said Viona as she continued her work as usual. Every time she came home from the hospital, she would come to the orphanage to help around or just play with the orphans.

"Girl, go to the doctor, I feel bad about it," said Mrs. Carol forcing Viona to go.

Finally, Viona gave in and obeyed the orphanage matron to see a doctor even though she was a doctor herself. The matron did not know that she was a doctor. When Viona came out of the side door, her eyes caught a car entering the orphanage. Out of curiosity, she stopped for a moment behind the wall.

Her heart was suddenly pounding when she saw who had just came out of the car with a cynical and angry gaze. His gaze made Viona scared.

Viona chose to go as far as possible, so how could that man able to find where she was? Her fear came back when remembering that terrible look. Her memory brought Viona back the night where she almost lost her chastity.

"Sorry, Mrs. Carol, maybe today is our last meeting," Viona thought as she continued running towards the crowd.
