There Is No Other Choice

The thirty year old woman was confused. The man who collapsed before him looked pitiful.

"I have to take him to the hospital first. But he fainted, how about this?" The woman was confused.

The woman took a bottle of mineral water from a plastic bag hanging on her motorbike.

"Sir! Wake up! You need to wake up so I can take you to the hospital." The woman squatted down and rubbed a palm filled with water on the stranger's face.

The blonde haired man started to react. The cold water accompanied by a gust of wind, woke him up.

"Help me!" The man again begged and looked at the woman in front of him.

"Fine! I'll take you to the hospital. Have a drink first, so you'll have some energy." the woman held out a bottle of mineral water in her hand.

With great difficulty, the blonde haired man accepted the water bottle and held it to his mouth. He took a small gulp as the corners of his lips tingled.

"Are you strong enough to stand? I'm riding a motorcycle. You can hold on a bit, okay?" said the woman.

The man nodded weakly.

"I will try!" The man tried to get up with a limp.

Seeing that the man was having trouble, the woman helped the man get on the back of the motorbike, while supporting the body of the motorbike so it would not fall.

"Hold on a second, will ya!" the woman climbed to the front.

Luckily the blonde haired man wasn't too big and tall, so she didn't have too much trouble. The woman then took a spare helmet and helped put it on the blonde haired man who was wincing in pain.

After putting the helmet on herself, the woman started to sit at the front and started the engine. However, the woman looked back with a frown.

"Sir, hold on to my jacket! You might fall if you do that!" The woman reminded. The man nodded weakly with glazed eyes because of the pain.

The woman began to drive her motorcycle slowly. She had to get this man to the hospital immediately, then go back to his house.

The wind was blowing hard that night. The woman was shivering with cold. however, she was also forced to continue her journey to the hospital.

"Come on! We're here!" The woman carried the blonde haired man to the Emergency Room.

Several nurses took care of him immediately. The woman took the time to send messages to people at home, telling that she was taking her friend to the hospital.

"In whose name, ma'am?" Ask administration.

"Ivanka! In the name of Mrs. Ivanka!" replied the woman.

"Patient's name?"

The woman named Ivanka was stunned. She didn't have time to ask, because the man fainted so many times.

"Ahh, sorry! I don't know his name. Could you hold on a moment? I'll ask for his name first." Answer Ivanka.

"That can follow, ma'am! There's a line waiting, can you tell me a provisional name?" asked the administration who did not want to wait. It was obvious that the woman in the administration section was tired and sleepy.

"Ahh, just write, David!" Ivanka instead gave her late father's name.

"Yes, Master David!" The administration clerk typed the patient's name into the computer.

Ivanka waited impatiently. It's almost late at night. It was dangerous for her to come home that late on his motorcycle.

"After the inspection, please pay off the fee over there!" The administration section points to the payment counter.

Ivanka nodded.

After that, she returned to the emergency room where the foreign man was examined. Ivanka scanned the blonde haired man.

From the color of his skin and the shape of his face, this man was not a foreign tourist from the west. He's clearly Asian, even though he uses English when speaking to him.

"How is he, Doctor?" Ivanka asked the doctor who examined him.

"Fortunately, there was no internal organ damage, although several parts of his body were bruised. After being treated for a few days, he will recover soon." Doctor explained.

"Can't be outpatient?" Ivanka is a bit worried, because her financial condition does not allow for hospital treatment.

The doctor looked at Ivanka's worried face. From the look on Ivanka's face, it was clear that she was worried about financial problems.

"Can be! origin treated with painstaking and guarded food. In the meantime, give him porridge first to help his digestion. I will prescribe painkillers and ointment for the bruises." The doctor said again.

"Okay! Thank you, Doctor!" Ivanka bowed her head.

A confused Ivanka thought hard. This meant that she had to take this stranger home and care for him until he recovered. In fact, Ivanka herself is having financial difficulties.

Not wanting to drag on, Ivanka walked over to the bed of a foreign man who was starting to wake up.

"Hmm, how are you?" Ask Ivanka in English.

"Slightly improved." The blonde stranger forced himself to sit up.

"Ehmm, I forgot to ask, what's your name?"

The blonde haired foreign man looked at Ivanka with a suspicious look. Originally, he was about to say his real name. However, he mentioned another name.

"Jayden! You can call me Jay!" Answered the foreign man.

"Jayden? Smith?" Ivanka raised her eyebrows.

"I'm not a Hollywood artist!" replied the foreign man who claimed his name was Jayden.

"Ahh, yes. Hmm, Jay! Ehh, I mean...Jayden,"

"I said, you can call me Jay." he replied.

"Oke Jay! So you see, for the time being, you come with me back to my house. I...I don't have enough money to give you treatment at the hospital. so, well...in the meantime, I will accommodate and care for you until you recover. After you recover, I'll take you to the police station." Ivanka explained the situation, even though she was doubtful and confused.

"You haven't said your name yet!" Jayden reminds me.

"I, uhm, my name is Ivanka."

"Well, Miss Ivanka, I have no other choice at this point but to trouble you." Jayden replied with a sad face.

The two of them were silent for a moment. Then Ivanka said,

"Well then, fine! You wait here first, I'll take care of the payment and redeem the prescription. After that, we'll head home."

"I'll go with you!" Jayden got down slowly from the bed.

"Are you sure you're feeling better now?" Ivanka is worried.

"I will be fine!" Jayden took his brown coat and put it on slowly.

ivanka again supported Jayden and walked towards the administration room and the pharmacy to redeem the prescription.

Jayden waited on a waiting room bench. His fair skin and face, which still looked handsome even though it was swollen, attracted the attention of the people around him.

However, neither Jayden or Ivanka, had no time to care about people's reactions to the two of them.

Because Jayden only felt sick and dizzy, while Ivanka was shocked by the amount of money she had to pay, also thinking about the way home.

Ivanka took out two raincoats and used them as layers of protection for Jayden and herself. Ivanka didn't leave her motorbike at the hospital and went home by online taxi.

"We're leaving now!" Ivanka started driving her motorbike again through the darkness of the night.

Jayden held on to Ivanka's waist to keep her from falling. Even though she felt uncomfortable, Ivanka let Jayden hug her waist and lean on her back. Ivanka understands that Jayden still feels sick.
