A Wife's Escape

No Will to Live

"Why are you here?!"

"..." Ricky glimpsed at Keyran, but then he looked down. Her hand caressed Nisa's head gently, her lips trembled, her eyes glared, in her eyes there was only one Nisa, and easily ignored Keyran's existence.

"Curtain!" Keyran felt increasingly inadmissible when he was ignored. He immediately approached Ricky, removed his hand from Nisa and suddenly pulled her collar. "I'm talking to you! Why are you here?!"

"Deliver!" pinta Ricky with a sharp eye. But Keyran clutched his collar tighter. He then clutched Keyran's wrist, forcing him to release it immediately.

"Are you challenging me?" Keyran grinned, but then he was shocked because Ricky suddenly removed his grip from his wrist.

"Yes, I did challenge you, but I was lazy to serve you."

"Oh, it turns out that besides losers you're also a coward."

"Basic stupid! It's a hospital, and anyone is forbidden to make a fuss here. Moreover, if we make a fuss, then it will interfere with Nisa's recovery process. What I'm worried about is Nisa, not because I'm afraid of you. It's worth Nisa to get hurt, it turns out this is because you're less adept at guarding her." Ricky smiled cynically.

"Ck, goddamn it." Keyran murmured in annoyance, he was forced to remove his grip from Ricky. She turned around to look at Nisa, but she silently clenched her hands as tightly as possible. "I asked you again, why are you here?"

"I'm a doctor, of course I'm here to check on the progress of Nisa's condition. Now you know the reason why I'm here, so get out!"

"Why should I go out? I'm her husband, and what kind of check-up can only you know?"

"Listen yes, I'm a doctor! And Nisa is my patient! If you really want to be a good husband then come out, you're just here to interrupt."

"You think I'm stupid? You're just an ex-doctor, you must be just a mode of wanting to be alone with my wife. Any simple equipment like a stethoscope just don't carry it, what do you want to check with?"

"Stethoscope is not very important, here there is an electrocardiogram that measures and records the electrical activity of the heart. So I can still check on Nisa's condition" Ricky said, pointing to the ECG.

Shit, because in a hurry I didn't get a stethoscope.

"Cih, it's just a line shaped like a grass drawn by a child of Kindergarten, like that I also understand, it's a sign Nisa is still alive. So your examination is not important!"

"Do you understand what?! You have to remember, the lines shown by the ECG are different from stock trading! Do you understand all the meaning and can you read it?"

"Ehm ..." Keyran then shifted his eyes.

Goddamnit! Obviously this is not my field, but still I am not willing.

"Well, can't you? So get out there quick! Let me do my job."

"No will! I want another doctor!"

"The other doctor is busy, and .. I tell you, in the future I will specifically take care of Nisa!"

"What?! Anyway can't! You can't make decisions like this, I'm her husband and I wouldn't be willing if you were the doctor who treated her! I want another doctor, that doctor from yesterday!"

"He's busy right now, he's off to take his girlfriend to college. Other doctors also still have other patients to take care of. You should be grateful that I took care of Nisa, I'll do what's best for her."

"I can't! If you want to take care of her then you have to ask for her family's approval, and I as a husband refused it! You don't allow me to touch Nisa, not even her hair!"

"Jeez, lower your tone! You insist like this is no good at all for Nisa. So please come out for the good of everyone."

"Not really, period!"

"Huft ..." Ricky then glanced at Nisa. "The "examination will only last for a little while. I'm here with the status of a doctor, not as his ex. So you can rest easy, I'll just treat Nisa like a patient in general. Get out, please give me a minute to be with him."

For a moment Keyran was silent, he looked at Ricky with his cynical gaze, but Ricky looked back at him in the same way. "Hjp! All right, but you have to remember that Nisa is my wife!"

"I remember, but you also have to understand that Nisa is my patient!"

Without saying anything more Keyran then came out, even though he was very unwilling to leave Ricky and Nisa just like that. As for Ricky, he was still silent and only returned to rubbing Nisa's head.

Nisa ... Nisa .. can't stop worrying me? Why did you come back the way you used to get hurt? And during the night I always try to forget you, learn to get used to it without you, and learn to let you down.

Yes, all I want is to be sincere, not to have you back. Even ... I always pray that you will be with him forever. I'm sincere if he's your companion, if he's with you. But I'm not sincere if he makes you cry, especially if it makes you hurt.

Actually ... I was also wrong here, I abused my status in order to take care of you. From now on, no other doctor will have time for you.

"But it's okay, I promise I'll take care of you to the best of my ability. Get well soon, okay?"

***

As Ricky said before, he did not check on Nisa for too long. As soon as he walked out of the room, he was already greeted by the cynical gaze of Keyran who was standing leaning against the wall while folding both hands.

Ricky responded to Keyran by simply acting cold, as if ignoring anything.

"Doctor's done making out with my wife?" asked Keyran with a cynical smile.

Ricky then walked and stopped right in front of Keyran, but suddenly he also smiled sinisterly while glancing at Keyran from the side. "Don't think too much about me, you better think about what you're going to say when Nisa's up."

Ricky immediately stopped smiling and after that walked away leaving Keyran.

"..." - ".Keyran was silent a thousand languages after hearing Ricky's words, he then lowered his hand and his face turned grim.

He was right, actually I myself do not know what to say and behave like when Nisa was awake. Before Nisa and I had a big fight, she insisted on getting a divorce. Even if after this I was being nice, I also could not predict at all how Nisa's attitude would be.

What I'm afraid of is if after this Nisa even more wanted a divorce. Now that just imagining it makes me feel hard, it seems like I won't be able to look him in the eye again.

"Oh, think about it later!"

Most importantly now Nisa is still not awake, so for now I can still continue to be beside her.

Keyran then rushed back in, sitting beside the bed where Nisa was lying. And suddenly he heard his phone ringing, he immediately saw his phone to answer the phone call.

"Valen, why did you suddenly call me? Just one day I didn't have anything Daniel do?"

"I'm sorry to interrupt sir's time, it's not about Mr. Daniel, it's about the waiter."

"That .. actually this is bad news, the person I told to visit where he lived apparently got something unpleasant. He met the whole family of the waitresses dead horribly, and it definitely looked like a murder case. But when they asked the locals, they all told them that the servant's family was always shut down, so even when they died, no one knew. Sorry, looks like this investigation can only get here."

"Huh .. It's okay, you've been working hard. Just continue with your work!"

"Good sir."

TUT ... TUT ...

The phone call ended, after Keyran saved his phone he then grabbed Nisa's hand and held it. And the expression he showed was an expression of guilt.

"I'm sorry .. Again I failed, I failed to find out who really hurt you. This crime was done very cleanly. But I promise, after this nothing will hurt you anymore. I'll tighten up the guard for you."

Keyran suddenly reached into his pants pocket, he picked up a small box-shaped and red object. He opened the box and saw a diamond ring, a wedding ring that had been removed by Nisa.

Slowly Keyran put the ring on Nisa's finger, not the ring finger, but the thumb. But Keyran smiled bitterly as soon as the ring was attached.

"Haha ... Even now the thumb is too big. You are getting thinner, even though your hobbies are just eating, sleeping, playing and lazing. You know what not? You're thin like this looking like a man who fasted for 10 years. But I promise, I will definitely make this ring fit on your ring finger."

Keyran again stroked Nisa's hand and kissed the back of her palm.

It was like repeating the past, back then at our engagement, I put this ring on you, and after that I kissed your hand just like this, and then we both danced. Honestly, you're the best dance partner I've ever danced with. At that time everyone applauded me, either because of my ability or your ability to amaze them. And I hope .. I can dance with you again, no need for music, in the middle of the silence of the night is fine.

Actually, I'd like to pair this ring when my dad's birthday party ends. At that time I wanted to speak well with you, without any quarrels or misunderstandings. I thought that way we could make up, and then I put this ring back where it should be. All I want is for our relationship to return to normal.

I have feelings myself, Nisa. I can feel that all your treatment is love, not pretend. After all, is it possible for someone to pretend that long at any time?

But still I don't fully know you, until now you're impressed like you're always hiding something from me. And until now I haven't fully understood you, I can't understand your way of thinking at all. Don't you hate me? But why did you save me? Why are you willing to sacrifice for me?

"Huh .. If you had woken up, it was actually what I wanted to tell you. But I'm not sure I can say it when you wake up. I can't not because of prestige, but because of fear. I'm afraid to hear the words you're gonna get out of your mouth."

Keyran's eyes dimmed, he then slowly lowered his head on the bed right next to Nisa's hand.

"Now I'm sleepy, wake me up when you're awake, okay?"

***

Time passed, until it was time for the afternoon. Keyran, who was currently asleep, suddenly felt something touch his head, reflexively caught him and woke up.

"Nisa! Are you awake?!" keyran was still half conscious.

"Hey, look at me! I'm Reihan!"

"Eh?" keyran immediately released his hand. He rubbed his eyes and began to look around. She sees Nisa who is still unconscious, while around her there are her two sisters-in-law, her mother-in-law, and one other person is doctor Ricky.

"Oh, it turns out you're here" said Keyran who got up from the chair while tidying up his hair.

"Yes, I'm here to see my daughter's situation. My husband's gone to buy you some food, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Yes, not yet. Thank you mother-in-law." Keyran then looked at Ricky. "Why are you here again?"

"Routine inspection. Why why anyway? You mind?" ask Ricky in a sniffle tone.

"Hey hey, that's it. You guys don't look in front of my mom! Emm ... Brother Ricky, when will my brother come to his senses?" ask Dimas while looking at the lines on the ECG.

"Because his condition is getting better, most likely tomorrow he will realize, maybe even later tonight he has realized."

Ckck .. turned out to have not changed, this Dimas has been blunt since long ago.

"What are you doing?" asked Keyran who was astonished to see Reihan whispering something in Nisa's ear.

"It's nothing, I was just whispering something so that Sister Nisa would wake up quickly, yeah .. sort of life motivation." replied Reihan as he lifted his shoulder.

"What are you motivating for life?" ask Keyran again.

"As ... Sister Nisa let's get up quickly, there is a new Japanese original kamen rider action figure clearance!"

"Already Reihan, don't nosy bother your brother. I'm sure if he wakes up, he'll hit you for lying to him."

"Yes mom, sorry ..."

That was the situation this afternoon, Nisa's family came to visit. Yes . although his two younger siblings are sometimes a bit difficult to manage. In this awkward situation of only one, Nisa's parents felt as if they had two daughters-in-law.

They visited long enough, and about 7 pm just came home. Before returning home they also advised to immediately notify once Nisa was awake.

The next day Nisa still does not wake up, and as usual Ricky who wants to check the condition of Nisa's development, must have been involved in a check with Keyran first.

Today after observing Nisa's condition, Ricky finally decided to release the ventilator breathing apparatus, because Nisa's condition is so stable that it no longer requires a tool. Now just waiting for Nisa to wake up.

On the other hand Keyran who knew this was both happy and agitated, he still did not know what he would say later when Nisa was awake. Throughout the night he had been keeping watch beside Nisa, waiting for her to open her eyes immediately.

Until the next day Nisa still not awake. Right now Ricky who was checking on Nisa's condition also felt a little confused. The look of her face was worried, she then gently stroked Nisa's head.

"It's strange, the drug effect should be gone, but until now you haven't been aware. Is it possible ... You don't have the will to live?"

If it's really like this then it's bad, I don't know what makes you lose the will to live.

"I'd better talk about this with the people closest to you, especially your husband."

Ricky pulled his hand back, he then rushed to get out to call Keyran. But suddenly he stopped because his hand was held back.

"Eh?!" Slowly Ricky looked towards Nisa, and he was shocked as soon as he saw Nisa who was awake holding her hand.

"J-don't go .." said Nisa in a soft voice.
