Eps 41 - My Wife, The One and Only



It took Arfan a long time to perform a second operation on his patient, but after a long and difficult struggle he finally managed to save his patient with the help of the nurse and other doctors who accompanied him.


After checking his schedule, Arfan smiled happily as it turned out to be his day off. With enthusiasm he was ready to go home because Arfan was very impatient to meet his wife. Giving her gifts and expressing her feelings, a husband's love for his wife.


While in the parking lot, Arfan met Sister Jessy who like her just arrived.


"Suit... There are flowering flowers look her" seduced Sister Jessy who makes Arfan immediately chuckle.


"Of course, I want to go home before my flowers wither" replied Arfan.


"Hem, like something warm happened because your smile and spirit looked so warm, Dr. Arfan. What's going on?" sister Jessy is back to flirting.


"Something is very beautiful, makes me feel like I'm in heaven" answered Arfan who made Sister Jessy squinted her eyes immediately, looking at Arfan full of probing.


"It looks like something has happened.... Hm.." said Sister Jessy while tapping her fingers on the chin.


"See you, Jes!" arfan exclaimed while chuckling and immediately Sister Jessy laughed amusedly, as if she already knew what was going on with Arfan and what made her look so happy and excited.


Arfan went straight into the car, started his car while humming.


Before returning home, Arfan stopped by a jewelry store to buy a gift for his beloved wife.


Arfan bought a beautiful pearl-eyed ring that glows beautifully.


"May you like it, dear" muttered Arfan after he paid for the ring.


After that Arfan continued his journey home, he impatiently wanted to see his wife, wanted to hug her and kiss her. Arfan imagines this time his wife must be cooking, making a very good meal for Arfan. The best food in the world.


"Until the house has to take a shower, if Elnaz knows I haven't had a bath due to the rush to the hospital, he will definitely laugh at me" Arfan murmured with an amused laugh "But it's okay, it's okay, Elnaz was very beautiful as she laughed" Arfan muttered again and continued to smile like a madman.


Arriving at home, Arfan immediately got down from his car and he was very surprised when he saw there were blood spots in front of his house, not only that, the door of his house was also wide open. Instantly Arfan immediately felt a very deep concern about the state of his wife.


Without a second thought Arfan immediately ran in, and he was shocked when he saw the condition of his house was very messy.


"Elnaz.." cried Arfan as he walked with heart through the broken vase and the messy flower.


"Darling..."


"Elnaz, where are you?"


"Darling..." Arfan continued to scream while running up to his room, stupefied in Arfan's mind the possibility of his house being robbed. But what makes Arfan very frightened is the state of his wife what else he saw traces of blood in the living room and in front of the house.


Arfan frowned confused because he saw his room was still very neat and clean. Arfan looks for Elnaz in the bathroom but nothing, Arfan is getting panicked and frightened.


"Elnaz...."


"Darling...."


Arfan yelled back as loud as he could, he looked for Elnaz to every corner of the house with a raging feeling.


Until the ringing of his cellphone comes from the middle room, Arfan ran there and look for the origin of the ringing sound of the phone that turned out to be his.


Arfan answered the call and immediately there was a panicked voice of Sister Jessy from across the phone.


"Arfan, Elnaz is in the hospital. Come here right now..."


Arfan's heart stopped beating when he heard the news, without a second thought he ran out and immediately entered his car.


Arfan drove his car at full speed, fear, panic, worry, everything was mixed into one. Making Arfan's chest pounding, he can only pray that his wife is okay.


"What's going on with you, honey..."


.........


At the hospital, Elnaz is treated by Doctor Celine and sister Jessy.


A man who claimed to be Robin found Elnaz collapsed in the middle of the road with an injured palm and shards of shard on both feet.


"How are things?" robin asked and he looked worried.


"She's fine, I've also contacted her husband" Sister Jessy replied and along with that Arfan appeared with a gasp of breath and he remembered.


Because Arfan immediately ran fast from the parking lot to find his wife's room.


"Where's Elnaz? Is she okay? What happened to her?" ask Arfan to panic.


"His arm was injured, like it was hit by broken glass. His legs are worse, there are many broken glass in both soles of his feet, Arfan. But the rest of him was fine" Sister Jessy said and as Arfan frowned deeply, he remembered the floor of his house filled with broken glass.


"Then who brought him here?" ask Arfan then.


"He's..." Sister Jessy pointed at Robin.


"I found her on the side of the road and she had passed out, I remember her face because we had met in the super market, which is why I immediately took her to the hospital" Robin replied.


"Thank you" replied Arfan and he immediately entered the nursery of Elnaz.


While Robin also left the hospital because he had to return to work, although Robin actually felt he was worried about the situation of Elnaz.


Inside, Arfan immediately sat on a chair near the ward of Elnaz. Arfan saw Elnaz's palms in bandages and both soles of his feet as well. Elnaz's face was also very pale, it must have been because Elnaz saw his own blood.


Instantly Arfan remembers his cell phone he found on the floor. Feeling something strange, Arfan checked his phone but he found nothing, but then Arfan opened his message and he was surprised to see Elsa's message that even attached a photo of them two years ago. The content of Elsa's message is also very disgusting as sister-in-law and ex, Arfan growled stifled and he seemed to hold back anger.


Now he understands what's going on, Elnaz must have been angry after reading Elsa's message which invited her to meet what else this morning Arfan had indeed opened the message and Elnaz must have thought that Arfan went to fulfill Elsa's call, though Arfan did not have time to read the message because his attention was distracted when Elnaz moved restlessly in his sleep.


Elnaz must be very angry and feel lied to, what else after what they went through last night. The pain of Elnaz would have been many times more painful than if they had not gone through that long night.


"You misunderstood me, dear.." whispered Arfan as he rubbed the cheek of Elnaz who looked still pale "I love you, Elnaz. My wife, my soul mate, and I will never go back to my ashes when I decided on my bright and clear future, you, dear. You are the one and only, forever"


Arfan kissed Elnaz's forehead gently, then slipped the ring he had bought earlier. Arfan kissed the back of Elnaz's hand gently, "I'm all yours, dear"
