Chapter 10

Zara's POV
After getting something new from Doctor Leo, I finally started to feel very embarrassed. Even though at first I thought that he was nothing. It turned out that my first impression of him was very wrong. I thought that Doctor Leo was an incompetent doctor at work. Because at the beginning he showed signs that did not make me sure that he was a doctor who had high dedication in working according to his profession.
When my gaze was difficult to shift from Doctor Leo. When I started to feel charm by his charisma. Suddenly, I was surprised by the presence of Ismaya, who knocked on the door of this laboratory room.
Ismaya has been my best friend since college, even since we were still in school when we were teenagers. Ismaya is also a friend and also my co-worker at this hospital. Ismaya and I are both ob-gyn doctors who have been assigned to work at this hospital for a long time. Forget about her for a moment, I wonder what she came here to call me.
Knock knock knock.
"Doctor Zara, are you in there?"
Breaking my gaze from Doctor Leo.
"Someone is calling you." Doctor Leo said.
The officer who accompanied us, who was Doctor Leo's assistant, opened the door.
"Open the door!" Doctor Leo ordered.
The door opened.
"I thought you were there, the patient has been waiting."
"Is it a pregnant patient or just an ultrasound?"
"No! No! Not that."
"Hmm... So?"
"Like yesterday, but not so many this time."
"Huh, a patient who complained of symptoms like yesterday?"
"Yes, hurry up! They've been waiting for you. I'm quite overwhelmed handling them myself. The other ob-gyn doctors are not on duty for their internship."
"Umm, okay, you can go first. I'll catch up in a minute."
"Okay, hurry up!"
"Yes."
Ismaya then went back to her office to treat another patient.
I felt awkward because I had looked at Doctor Leo and almost got caught.
"Okay, doc, make a journal for this research immediately. We will do further research later."
"Yes, doc, okay."
"Then, I'll take my leave to work on treating patients."
"Yes, please, continue."
I immediately walked out of the laboratory after saying goodbye to Doctor Leo and his colleagues who had helped and prepared the equipment while we were doing the research earlier. When I arrived at my office, I saw the queue that had grown longer again. I couldn't rest even for a moment. Because there were quite a lot of patients and I couldn't spare time for myself. I immediately called the queue according to the number. It was number thirty-two.
That means that so far there have been thirty-one patients who have been examined by Ismaya. Now I get patient number thirty-two. Meanwhile, I see the queue outside is still long. Is it possible to reach a hundred people today? Yesterday, the number of patients was around one hundred and twenty-eight people from various regions. This is truly a rare phenomenon. Almost every day new people take turns checking their reproductive health. This is truly an emergency and requires quick action to resolve this issue. Before the number of patients increases.
"Queue number thirty-two please come in."
I found a young girl. She was probably only three or fourteen years old. She was accompanied by her mother to come to my room to be examined.
"Um, sorry, is this the mother or the child?"
"My child, doc."
I was stunned.
"Are the symptoms the same as those experienced by many cases out there?"
"Yes, my child suddenly stopped menstruating."
"Um, when was her last period?"
"Three months ago."
"Okay, please lie down on the bed over there! I'll try to check later."
After I was ready to be examined, I immediately took out my simple tools and tried to examine this teenager. After I finished, I found nothing strange about this teenager. For that, I did not give any prescription except to advise her to change her lifestyle to be healthier. Switch to consuming foods and drinks that are not recommended for consumption.
"Okay, maybe that's all I can suggest. Apart from that, I do not recommend the use of herbal or chemical drugs. At most, we will observe in the fourth or fifth month. If there is no change after switching from the old lifestyle. Please come here again for further examination."
"Okay, doc, thank you."
I smiled and nodded while thinking about the strange thing I had just found.
My mind immediately went to Zeni. Worried that she would... Emm.. no, I shouldn't think badly. Neither Zeni nor I could possibly experience something like that.
I have called many patients to be examined in my office. Almost all of them have the same symptoms. A few come just to check their wombs. Most of them are patients with complaints of early menopause. This is truly astonishing. How to restore their menstrual patterns? Yes, those who have been declared early menopause. It could be that in this decade the human population will decrease drastically and experience degradation. Worried that it will become a big problem for the survival of humans in this country and the hemisphere covering the entire world. What exactly has happened?
I daydreamed to myself after examining many patients and now there is only one patient left. I handed her over to Ismaya to be examined. Now I started to think hard about this big problem.
Looking at the chronology of events, they stopped menstruating around three to four months ago. That means it hasn't been a year and maybe the process has only been running for the last six months or recorded as half a year. What happened in the last half year? Is there a global elite conspiracy in this? Like the virus pandemic phenomenon that happened before.
I was surprised again by Ismaya's arrival.
"Already?"
"Eh."
"Eh sorry."
"Yes, no problem."
"This is the report from the results of the examination earlier. You can summarize it immediately so that the workload doesn't pile up."
"Yes, okay, thank you, Ismaya."
"By the way, I'm surprised by this sudden phenomenon. Do you feel anything strange?"
"Yes, of course, there must be something behind all this happening. It's impossible for everything to happen suddenly. Isn't it strange?"
"Yes, it's really very strange."
Ismaya and I were daydreaming. Confused and clearly feeling exhausted. Hopefully, tomorrow morning, there will be no more patients with complaints like that.
I have now started collecting the files that have been submitted by Ismaya. I checked some of the ones on the top sheet. There is nothing strange, all the characteristics and symptoms are almost the same.
