"Actually Andri's condition is not okay, Nduk."
No expression came out of Yuan's face. His eyes are ordinary. There was no surprise or worry.
Yuan smiled faintly. He immediately grabbed the fingers of the mother-in-law, then rubbed them gently. Drini's forehead wrinkled when she found Yuan looking so calm, even smiling.
"Mom, did you forget that Yuan is also a medic? Yuan knew very well how Mas Andri was currently in condition." Now Yuan released his fingers from the back of Drini's hand.
"Even every night, Yuan knew that Mas Andri was always crying in silence. He endured all his grief alone. Yuan understood why he did that."
Now Yuan's gaze looked up at the ceiling of the house. A smile full of sincerity was engraved on the thin lips of the woman. A moment later, he turned to look at Drini.
"Mas Andri wants to see that everything is fine, Mom. He doesn't want to make us all feel burdened."
"Yes ...." Drini's shoulder slumped after hearing everything Yuan said.
"So, let's treat Mas Andri as usual. Mas Andri's condition is decreasing, I know where it will end, Mom. I get it."
Yuan started to tear up. Even though he looks fine. But the heart of the woman is so fragile.
Yuan hid all his sadness, as Andri did. If one day Andri leaves, Yuan wants to be the best wife for her husband.
"But are you sure you want to take care of Andri, Nduk? You know that Andri might not last long? It is not that the mother precedes God's decree. But medically it's the way it is." Drini's voice shakes when saying all these things.
"Mom, do you still doubt my sincerity? I'm really going to do everything with sincerity. I love Mas Andri under any circumstances."
Drini could no longer speak. He immediately hugged his ex-boy. Her crying finally broke.
They both agreed to treat Andri as usual. If one day Andri really leaves. They want to make the best and best memories with Andri.
"While the possibilities are small, Yuan hopes Mas Andri gets a miracle from God, Mom."
Drini nodded with a faint smile behind Yuan's back. He hoped that the miracle would actually happen. Drini still wants to be with her son.
Yuan finally released his embrace from Drini. Drini smiled widely, then summarized the tiny face of the daughter-in-law. Not long after, his palm now moved to the top of Yuan's head and gave a gentle swab there.
"You're patient, huh, Nduk? May the Lord listen to all our prayers regarding His miracle" Drini said, followed by a nod by Yuan.
"Then, Yuan wants to cook first, ma'am. Poor Mas Andri. I'll be hungry." Yuan wiped the rest of his tears, then went to the kitchen.
After finishing cooking, Yuan rushed to the room. He went in and put the food on the table. Yuan turned towards Andri who seemed to be fast asleep.
Yuan approached Andri. He observed the handsome face of the husband who was getting more and more thin. Yuan lifted his arm into the air, then landed it right on the man's cheek.
"Mas, he's been pretending. Wake up," Yuan said softly while smiling faintly.
Andri immediately smiled, then slowly opened her eyes. Yuan was lying down beside Andri. She used her husband's chest as a cushion.
The sound of Andri's heartbeat was now clearly heard by Yuan. The rhythm is irregular. Yuan closed his eyes, trying to enjoy every beat of the husband's heart that was heard by his ears.
"Mas, from now on don't pretend, huh? No need to pretend that Mas andri is fine. If you feel uncomfortable with your current condition, say. Then I'll try to make you comfortable without burden."
