Eps 124 - Still Misunderstand



When Arfan came home, he was greeted with the wife's sullen face. Which even now really looks angry...


"Darling..." Arfan rebuked her but Elnaz did not respond in the slightest.


"So don't know you're jealous, honey. But this isn't the way it is, is it?" said Arfan again that actually makes Elnaz more upset.


"Your husband is also a Doctor, do you know how important it is to be on time for a Doctor? The business of people's lives..." Arfan was still trying to be gentle with his wife, but Elnaz still showed how angry she was.


"Nadine was waiting for two more hours, it was detrimental to him and his patients." said Arfan again, Elnaz immediately looked at her husband and said.


"So whose fault is it? I'm..." Elnaz pointed to himself "Or him?" his hands pointed in any direction.


"Had known she had to be on time, already knew her patients were very important. Then why the hell is he stupidly waiting for two more hours, where's his brain?" Elnaz said that the fire that made Arfan immediately stunned, what else when Elnaz said the word brain very lightly.


"El.." said Arfan, but Elnaz instead ran into his room, closing the door loudly until the sound of a buzzing sound made Arfan gasp.


.........


The next day, Arfan went to the airport to pick up his mother-in-law. The day of Elnaz's birth was near, so her mother-in-law wanted to stay in Arfan's house to look after Elnaz.


While Elnaz is still reluctant to talk to Arfan, Arfan also did not start the conversation first. Somehow his feelings and thoughts have been messed up since his last fight with Elnaz.


What else Elnaz said that is fairly rude continues to ring in his mind.


Arfan knows his wife very well, Elnaz is not an easy woman and almost never said a harsh word, what else in front of her husband.


Arfan began to think about how his relationship with Elnaz late this, and often Elnaz alluded to is Nadine and Nadine.


"Is that his problem?" arfan Gumam.


Arriving at the airport, Arfan saw his mother-in-law who had been waiting for him.


Arfan also ran a small run towards his mother who brought a suitcase and also carrying a crackle like her filled with food.


"Sorry, Ma. Late.." said Arfan.


"It's okay, Fan. Mama thinks Elnaz is coming" said the mother-in-law.


"No, Ma. El rest at home" he replied. Arfan brought her mother-in-law's suitcase and the two of them walked together towards Arfan's car. Arfan put the slightly heavy suitcase into the trunk, then he got into the car while his mother-in-law was sitting in the seat next to the steering wheel.


"What did you bring?" asked Arfan while glancing at the crackle held by his mother "Let it sit behind, Ma" he added.


"Don't, this is rawon, later spilled. same yellow rice as well. From your mother, the word was for Elnaz" she replied, which made Arfan smile.


"How was Elnaz's pregnancy, Fan?" asked Bu Yuni, Arfan started running his car leaving the airport parking lot.


"Alhamdulillah is fine, Ma. It's just a pity that Elnaz easily tired, his sleep also can not be restful" replied Arfan.


"His name is also heavily pregnant, Fan. All mothers must be so, must be extra patient. Pregnant was very hard and tired, sick as well" Arfan only responded to her with a faint smile. Because he's still thinking about his quarrel with Elnaz.


...........


Arriving at Arfan's house, Elnaz greeted the mother with a smile and a warm hug, the mother kissed Elnaz's cheek and asked her news.


"El good, Ma. What is Papa's situation at home? How is Papa Adi with Mama Yuni?" ask Elnaz.


"They're good, they put food on you"


Elnaz smiled at what his mother said, bringing his mother in while Arfan could only follow them from behind.


Elnaz opened a food box containing yellow rice and immediately returned smiling happily.


"We eat yes, Ma" asked Elnaz but he did not invite Arfan.


Miss Isna who saw it instantly she could understand like there was something wrong with her child marriage relationship.


.........


At the hospital, Arfan returned to work as usual. Although his focus was divided because he kept thinking about Elnaz.


While walking in the hospital hallway, Arfan passed Nadine. Nadine was about to say hello to Arfan but Arfan avoided first, as if he did not know Nadine.


Nadine tries to chase Arfan and calls Arfan who keeps stepping away.


"Ar, wait..." Nadine managed to catch up to him.


"Sorry, Nad. I'm busy" Arfan said.


"Oh, that. Okay, later go home with ya, my car is still in the workshop" he said.


"Sorry, I can't, Nad..."


"Why? Surely you can't have your wife?"


"No, I just want to get home early today. I have my mother-in-law at home..."


Nadine only mangut mangut hear what Arfan said, and he invited Arfan who resumed his steps. Nadine looked at Arfan's back which was now getting away.


.........


Arfan was preparing to go home after all his tasks were completed, but when he opened the door, Sister Jessy and Doctor Liam suddenly appeared startlingly to make Arfan surprised.


"You guys here? Why?" ask Arfan


"You take the goods, oh yes, I saw you talking to Nadine.." Sister Jessy said as she squinted at Arfan "Heart, take care of your pregnant wife..." sister Jessy asserts.


"Yes... Yesterday had a misunderstanding, even until now Elnaz did not want to talk to me"


"What do you mean?" asked Doctor Liam curiously.


..........


Doctor Liam and Sister Jessy let out a long and heavy sigh after hearing Arfan's story.


"I know El is wrong, I'm not really angry with him, just how he knows Nadine is late, let alone Nadine is dokt... Ouch, ouch... Jess... "


"God...." Sister Jessy hits Arfan with her bag, making Arfan squeal in shock.


"Just hit her, Hon.." said Doctor Liam in support of Jessy, even he helped beat Arfan with his hand making Arfan groan sick.


"Yg the treatment is Nad Nad is.." said Sister Jessy then with a breath of breath.


"Know..." Continued Doctor Liam.


"Your wife is pregnant, uh her husband is in another girl's closet." Sister Jessy said again.


"It must be heartache" again Doctor Liam continued.


"Where is the brain of Nad Nad, cook waiting for people up to two hours, I'm a ogah wait Liam half an hour" he said again.


"Honest, Hon.." said Doctor Liam. While Arfan was still listening to them while grimacing.


"Even angering the wife in front of other women, it's finished your wife's self-esteem in front of people. What kind of husband are you "hard sister Jessy again who immediately makes Arfan objected, he seems to just realize it.
