My Obsessive Doctor

“No.”

“Just take it easy! He’s going to the toilet right now.”

“Thank you, God! But where are you? Can I catch up?” Vega asked.

“You said you wanted to take a rest. Now you’re getting excited because I talked, there was Alberto here.” Doctor Chico teased

“Ah! So, you don’t want to tell me, right?”

“Well! That’s okay.” Vega acted so mad.

“You should take a rest and prepare for the next test. Don’t you know that the next test is a teaching test? There’ll be around three lecturers who’ll assess you.”

“Ah! The announcement of passing the psychological test is still a long time away,” Vega complained.

“But, well! That’s okay,” Vega relented.

“I think you’re right. I should better focus on all my tests first,” Vega concluded.

“Great! Good luck, Vega!” said Chico hopefully.

“Oh, Alberto, are you coming back?” Chico asked Alberto.

“Tut!” The call ended.

Chico ended the call after mentioning Alberto’s name as if he was deliberately making Vega upset and curious.

“Ah! Truly, he’s nosy,” grumbled Vega. She put her phone again on the dashboard and started to drive away.

Applying for a job that was far different from her profession was not easy for Vega. While waiting for the announcement of her passing the psychological test, Vega did her daily work as a doctor and occasionally consulted Chico.

When the time came, about two weeks later, the psychological test announcement came out, and it mentioned that she passed. With that, Vega would undergo the next test, the teaching test.

Microteaching is a test of teaching material according to our knowledge in a relatively short time. It’s approximately 15 minutes.

Chico said, based on his own experience, that there was no specific theme determined by the campus. He was free to choose any theme as long as it was in accordance with the destination study program.

Vega had prepared a presentation to make it easier for her to explain. The material that she would deliver was solid and clear.

The examiners also asked her a few questions. However, it was not about the material but her teaching strategy and focus of study.

Vega could answer smoothly because she had consulted Chico and had experience. Finally, Vega passed the microteaching test smoothly.

That time, the announcement of the microteaching test didn’t take long. A week later, Vega received news that she had passed. At that time, Vega only needed to undergo the last test, which was the interview test.

“They said the interview would be conducted directly by the rector. Huft!” Vega exhaled heavily.

“I hope I can answer his questions well. I have to prepare a satisfactory answer,” said Vega.

Vega thought that the rector would be asked questions like, “Why do you want to become a lecturer, and what are your strengths?”

But no. Instead, she was asked about her educational background, her full identity, the theme of her researchs, her thesis, etc.

Vega was also asked about her opinion regarding the salary that she wanted. Fortunately, Vega was able to quickly think of an answer and answer smoothly.

This test didn’t last as long as the previous ones. After Vega successfully answered the questions from the rectors of Brittle University and her answers made the rectors satisfied with her, this interview test was ended by the rector.

“Well! Thank you for your time, Vega!”

The rector thanked him and raised Vega’s hand. Then they shook hands.

Vega really feels relieved now. She had successfully passed all the tests, although her heart was still not completely calm because the announcement of whether or not she was accepted as a lecturer was still uncertain. But at least Vega was grateful that she had passed all these difficult tests.

“I have to thank Doctor Chico again later. He really helps me a lot.”

“Now I’m just waiting for the announcement. I hope I pass. That way, I’ll be closer with Alberto,” said Vega, hopefully.

***

A few days later, while she was at home, her phone rang. She saw a notification on her phone that read. “Congratulations!”

The notification caught her attention. Vega quickly checked and found a new email.

“From Brittle University!” She exclaimed. She was so excited that she jumped several times.

She immediately opened and read the contents of the email. “Congratulations! You’ve been accepted to Brittle University!”

Vega squealed with delight, “Yes! I’m accepted. It’s a great opportunity for me.”

Vega said excitedly. “Thank you, God! All my struggles are not in vain.”

Vega breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately called to share the happy news.

She took her phone. Not long after, the phone connected.

She immediately greeted Chico. “Hi, Chico!”

“Hi!” greeted Chico.

“How’s your day? It seems that you’re so happy,” asked Chico curiously.

“Just guess it! It’s according to the news that I have for you, and I want to tell you,” asked Vega.

“Is it about the fact that you’re accepted at Brittle University?” asked Chico.

“How can you know about that?” asked Vega curiously.

“Why? It’s obvious, right?”

“Obvious? What’s obvious?”

“You called me in that excited tone of voice. That means you’re accepted as a lecturer.”

“If that’s not the news that you want to bring me, so what’s the new that can make you so excited until it seems you’re so happy? Is that true?” Chico explained his analysis, which made her splutter in annoyance.

“Ah!” Vega complained.

“But it’s true, though. I’m accepted there,” said Vega.

“Are you busy right now?” asked Vega.

“Why?” asked Chico curiously.

“I want to treat you with gratitude for helping me so much!” said Vega.

“I’d love to accept your invitation. However, I’m very busy today. Maybe you can treat me next time, Vega,” said Chico.

Vega was disappointed that Chico refused his invitation. However, she couldn’t force Chico because she knew Chico was much busier than her.

“Well! Okay,” Vega replied listlessly.

“Don’t be angry or sad!” asked Chico.

“I’m sorry, I can only say congratulations now!” Chico apologized.

“Later, when I have some free time, I’ll join the celebration. For now, you celebrate with other people first,” said Chico.

“Okay, I’ll end the call now.”

“See you later!”

“See you later!”

Vega chose to end the call.

“Ah! I have to go to Brittle University now.”

Vega decided. Then she quickly got ready. She was asked to come to Brittle University for a meeting with the rector of Brittle University.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

When she was there, she and a few others who had also been accepted as lecturers at Brittle University were greeted and congratulated by the rector and faculty representatives. There were only five people who were accepted, including Vega. Vega was very grateful to be one of them.

“I’m congratulated for the five of you. You’re the chosen ones who fulfill the academic qualifications at Brittle University.”

“I hope you can fulfill the vision and mission that you said during the interview. Again, congratulations!”

Vega thanked them and expressed her gratitude again in her heart. She was truly relieved that her determination had paid off.

She’s officially a lecturer at Brittle University’s Faculty of Health and is teaching there now. She was just waiting for the schedule to be distributed.

She hopes that she will be teaching in the pharmacy department. A few days later, she was informed that she would become the lecturer in the pharmacy department and the medical department.

She will teach some subjects, including human anatomy and human physiology. However, she didn’t know her class yet.

She hopes that her plan will go well. She also prays that Alberto will be one of the students in her class.

“I hope Alberto will be one of the students I teach!” Vega said hopefully.

“Even if he doesn’t, it doesn’t matter. I’ve already accepted as a lecturer,” said Vega cheerfully.

“I can pursue his love and try to get close to him. Of course, it’s a great opportunity for me, and I can’t miss it.”
