"Sudah dibayar."
"Eh? Siapa?"
They pointed to the table opposite mine. I turned to look, not quite sure who to expect, this is a first for me... is this a prologue to a drama...
Just kidding.
I wasn't surprised. Even while I was still chewing I already spotted my just discharged patient and his parents entering the eatery. I didn't think they saw me, but soon afterwards I overheard the staffs talking not so discreetly
"Pelanggan ini doktor. Nanti dia mahu bayar kau beritahu bilnya sudah dibayar."
It could only mean one thing. I greeted my patient and his family at their table soon after I finished my meal. Then I walked towards the counter to pay my bill and the staff told me what I thought I overheard.
I turned to them and grinned at the mother sheepishly. I thanked them and told them it's unnecessary and thanked them again, but the mother just smiled at me. I hope they won't be surprised when they realize my bill was probably half of that the three of them...
