Being a Connecting Mother

Good Treatment and Attention

By night Adira opened her eyes, looking around she could see Zein who seemed to be talking to Lily.

Adira wanted to straighten her body at least a little she tried to support her body with an elbow.

“ Aww..” ringisnya not in thought even the pain in his hand will be immediately felt even though moved a little.

Zein is surprised to hear Adira's ringing as soon as she heads to bed. Grabbing Adira's shoulder and helping her straighten up.

“ Thanks Mas ” said Adira after it feels like her body is in a comfortable position.

“ Can't you ask for help first, it's hard to say you need help ” complained Zein because he felt Adira was not willing to accept his help at all.

“ I just don't want to disturb earlier Mas same Lily again cool chatting ”

“ Next time do not do it again if it still hurts just ask for help ”

Lily walked slowly towards Adira, the child's cheeks were already flooded with tears. Adira was surprised and also felt sad to see Lily's cry.

“ Lily..do not cry Nak ” said Adira sad.

“ Hicks...Mama..why Mama is sick hikss Lily sad if Mama is sick ” Lily sobbing. Opening her arms slightly leading Lily into her arms, Adira hugged Lily stroking the little girl's back to calm her down.

“ Lily dear Mama Adira is still sick do not hug first ” forbid Zein is afraid of Lily to make Adira in pain, Zein said it even makes Lily cry harder.

Adira looked at Zein and shook her head forbidding Zein to say that again.

“ Mama is fine Lily don't cry anymore or Mama will also cry ” persuade Adira.

“ Hicks..Ma, Lily promises not to be naughty Mama can not be sick hix ”

“ Who said Lily was naughty...Lily is the kindest daughter that Mama has ” Adira rubbed tears on Lily's face with her sleeves.

“ Yes Mama will be happy if Lily smiles but if Lily cries Mama is even sadder, so Lily must smile ” Adira knows the child still does not really understand the incident that happened to Adira, he must have thought because he was naughty then Adira would be sick.

Slowly Lily's crying subsided she started to look calmer.

“ Last Lily went for a walk with Kak Nadiakan, how was the walk? ” Adira tries to distract Lily and tries not to show her pain.

“ We went to the playground, Mama knew Kak Nadia accompanied me to play a slide then buy ice cream also ” Lily story still with a typical raucous voice out of tears.

“ Woww it must have been a lot of fun ” Adira smiled then continued to listen to Lily who continued her story.

Zein brought Adira's dressing chair to the bed and sat Lily in the chair. That way Zein is calmer so the two of them can tell stories without fearing Lily will accidentally touch Adira's wound.

Sometimes Zein also laughs listening to his little girl chattering as if tireless. He was amazed how Adira could make Lily who would not usually want to talk much to others to be willing to tell a long story and very enthusiastic.

While Adira was still asleep Zein tried to explain Adira's situation to Lily, but Lily was very sad no matter what Zein said the boy remained sad. And that proved how Lily cried after Adira woke up.

But now Lily had laughed about her journey.

Long enough they both told me until Zein finally persuaded Lily to go back and sleep in her room. Fortunately after being given the understanding of Lily according to.

“ You eat first ” said Zein approaching to Adira.

Adira replied with a nod, enduring the pain she raised her hand to receive the tray from Zein. But Zein ignored that he sat on the makeup chair right next to Adira.

“ Your hand still hurts how you can hold this tray ”

Adira actually confirmed Zein's speech.

“ Open your mouth ” says Zein while thrusting food on the spoon.

Adira frowned awkwardly because Zein was feeding her.

“ My hands ache quickly open your mouth ” rework Zein this time a little firm. Adira opened her mouth, watching Zein painstakingly separate the fish's spines from the meat and put it on the rice that would be fed to Adira.

“ This fish contains a lot of collagen, he said it is good for wound healing ” explains Zein. Adira accepted the bribe after bribe that Zein gave without protest. Without hesitation Zein rubbed the corner of Adira's lips that were exposed to a little fish sauce.

Adira is shocked by Zein's actions until her body instantly freezes, when Zein's face is very close to her face focused on looking at Adira's lips.

The man looked very calm and there was no hesitation or nervousness at all in his expression.

“ You still want to eat again? ” asked Zein because the food on the plate was up.

“ Ehh..no Mas ” Adira replied with a little sputtering.

“ Drink and here's your medicine ”

Adira grabbed the glass Zein held, but Zein did not release the glass at all but led Adira to drink and then thrust the medicine that Adira would swallow with her own hands.

This attention and treatment made Adira misbehaved and confused at the same time. Is it natural for Zein to treat him like this? Or is it just out of sympathy for the person who is sick? Adira's heart wondered.

“ Do you happen to have an enemy or have you ever been in trouble with someone who made that person hate you? ” asked Zein as he tidied up the tableware and put it on the table waiting as he was about to call the waiter to bring it.

“ No Mas I never had such a problem ” Adira replied honestly, because during her life the biggest problem that happened was when she had to marry Zein the man she had just met for the first time but in just a matter of hours was already her husband.

Zein still seemed unsettled at Adira's answer she was a little less confident. If not the enemy or someone who hates Adira then who? Is that Zein's enemy? Then why should Adira be if it's Zein's enemy that person can directly attack Zein.

“ What's up? Is there someone who is disturbing? That's not what you do, they don't come back and bother you, right? ” said Adira panicked if it turns out that the purpose of Zein's words is because he returned to get interference and terror from his parents.

“ You think too far. I never said anything about your parents ” denied Zein didn't think Adira would suspect that.

“ I'm afraid Mas Zein was visited by my parents, they could still feel less satisfied and use Mas to earn money. If not for that why Mas inquired about my enemy ” Adira explained his worries and also part of his fears all along.

“ That's just a regular question ” elak Zein because he thinks it's not good to tell the motive of the attack to Adira.

“ Hmm. I hope that if someday my parents suddenly come and ask for money from Mas, please do not obey their wishes ” pinta Adira.
