At school, Alberto always thought about Vega’s condition. He was worried about Vega’s condition.
He was afraid that something worse would happen to Vega. Because of that, he wasn’t as cheerful as usual.
He simply chose to sit in his chair and remain silent. At that moment, Dario, who knew about Alberto’s mood swings, immediately tried to ask about what happened to him. “Alberto, why are you just keeping quiet? Is that any matter?”
“Yes. What’s the matter? Usually, you’re more cheerful than now.” Nicolas said.
“My wife is sick.” Alberto answered glumly.
“Just use a babysitter, Alberto! You don’t use a babysitter. No wonder your wife is tired and sick now,” said Dario.
“But my wife doesn’t want to use a babysitter. From the start, I have suggested her to do that, but she doesn’t want to. You know how stubborn my wife is,” said Alberto.
“Yes. I know. Get well soon!” said Dario.
“Yes. Get well soon!” said Nicolas.
“Thank you!” Alberto immediately thanked him.
“You’re welcome.”
“Oh. By the way, I’m sorry! I must go to the rector’s room now.” Alberto permitted.
“What’s for?” Dario immediately frowned because he felt confused. It was unusual for Alberto to go to the rector’s room.
“I want to give the permission letter from my wife,” Alberto explained.
“Oh. Okay,” said Dario.
After that, Alberto went to the rector’s room to meet Professor Jose. On the way, he met Professor Jose.
“Good morning, Professor Jose!” said Alberto.
“Good morning, Alberto!” said Professor Jose.
“What’s the matter? You’re rarely outside the classroom,” Professor Jose later complained.
“I want to give you a permission letter from my wife! My wife can’t come here and teach her students today because she is sick.” After that, Alberto gave a permission letter from Vega to Professor Jose, and Professor Jose received it.
Hearing Alberto’s words, Professor Jose’s eyes immediately bulged because he was so shocked. It’s because Vega is not usually sick. Indeed, of all the lecturers, Vega is the one who rarely has permission not to teach.
“Oh. What’s wrong with her?” asked Professor Jose suddenly.
“She gets a fever, she is dizzy, and she looks like she can’t consentrate. At home, before I came to school, she almost fell in the bathroom.” Alberto explained Vega’s condition.
“Oh, my god! I’m sad to hear that! You must take care of her seriously! Don’t let it be so bad!” Professor Jose commented.
“Okay.”
“Get well soon!” Professor Jose expressed hope.
“Okay. Thank you for the prayer, Professor!” Alberto immediately thanked him.
“You’re welcome.”
“Oh. By the way, Professor, I’m sorry! I must go to class now. I’m afraid there’s already a professor in my class.” Alberto immediately asked for permission to leave Professor Jose.
“Okay. See you later!” Professor Jose waved his right hand.
“See you later!” Alberto waved his right hand as he walked away from Professor Jose’s class.

Meanwhile, Vega’s mother, who had just come to Vega’s house, immediately checked Vega’s condition. After that, she spoke to Vega. “Vega, I will call the doctor and ask the doctor to come here!”
“No need, Mom. Vega just gets a fever.” Vega refused.
“Vega, you can’t just ignore your illness! I’m afraid that something will happen,” advised Vega’s mother.
“But, Mom, you don’t have to do that. It’s just a fever. Nothing more. Vega is just exhausted. Vega will get better soon,” Vega said.
“Don’t say that, Vega. You must take the health problems seriously, Vega,” said Vega’s mother.
After that, Vega’s mother immediately took her phone and looked for Doctor Chico’s number. After that, she called Doctor Chico.
“Hello, Doctor Chico! Vega is sick now. Can you come to her house?”
“Oh… Fortunately, you can come to her house… I’ll pay you later when you’ve treated Vega! Okay… I’ll wait! Thank you!”
After that, Vega’s mother told Vega. “Doctor Chico will come to this home and treat you!”
“Mom, you don’t have to call Doctor Chico.” Vega refused.
“You’re sick, Vega. So I have to call the doctor. You must be examined. I know you’re a doctor, and you feel that you can treat yourself better. But, Vega, sometimes the ailments we take for granted turn out to be more than that!” Vega’s mother’s advice made Vega silent, and she could only succumb to her mother.
“Okay, Mom.”
Day passed until Doctor Chico came. He was immediately escorted by Nena to check on Vega’s condition.
Then, Doctor Chico immediately checked Vega’s condition. In the midst of checking on Doctor Chico, suddenly Alberto, who had just come home from campus, arrived at Vega’s room. Not long after, Doctor Chico finished checking on Vega.
“What’s wrong with my wife, Doctor?” Alberto asked about Vega’s illness.
“Your wife gets typhoid fever.” Doctor Chico explained Vega’s illness.
Vega was already aware that she had typhoid fever, but she always tried to convince those around her that she only had a fever. She didn’t want to bother the people around her.
“Now hear for yourself, Vega! You have typhoid fever. It’s not just a fever!” yelled Vega’s mother to Vega.
“And you, Alberto! Why didn’t you call the doctor? How could you do that?” Vega’s mother got mad at Alberto.
“I wanted to call a doctor, but…” Alberto immediately explained what had happened, but Vega’s mother cut his words off immediately.
“Then? Why wasn’t there a doctor here when I arrived?” Vega’s mother got mad again. Her eyes stared intently at Alberto.
“Vega kept refusing,” Alberto explained then.
“You’re her husband! You must be able to be firm and stern with your wife, Alberto,” pleaded Vega’s mother.
Alberto immediately lowered his head and apologized. “Okay. I’m sorry!”
“Mom, don’t be mad at Alberto! It’s not Alberto’s fault. It’s my fault, Mom. I’m insisted.” Vega asked her mother not to scold Alberto.
“I’m sorry, Mom!” Vega immediately apologized to her mother.
“It’s okay, honey.” Vega’s mother immediately stroked Vega’s hair.
“I’ll write down the recipe first. Is that okay?” Doctor Chico stated.
“Okay.” Vega’s mother said.
Then, Doctor Chico wrote a prescription for medicine. After that, Doctor Chico explained the function of each drug.
“The medicine can be bought at the drug store.” Doctor Chico explained
“Okay.”
“Nena!” Vega’s mother immediately called Nena.
“Please redeem this recipe at the drug store!” Vega’s mother gave the order to Nena.
“Here is the money!” Vega’s mother immediately gave the money to Nena, and Nena accepted the money.
“Okay, Ma’am!” Nena immediately left them to the pharmacy with the money and the prescription to redeem the medicine.
“Is there anything that I can help again?” asked Doctor Chico.
“No!”
“In that case, I’m sorry! I must go home first because there are many patients and many cases that I must handle!” Doctor Chico immediately requested permission to leave.
“Okay.”
Time went on until a few moments later, Nena came to Vega’s room carrying medicine. “Here are the medicines, madam!”
Then, Alberto took a drink of water. Then he brought it to Vega. After that, Vega drank medicines, and soon Vega fell asleep.
