Canticles

242. Temen Perempuan ?

Shezi's busy life as the wife of an army officer makes it difficult to divide the time. And finally Shezi had to choose to release one of the activities that are quite time-consuming, namely his job as a pharmacy employee.

Rex smiled at Shezi's decision. Although he knew Shezi was hard to leave the job that had given him a lot of life experience, but the beautiful woman who is now his wife was willing to do it just to be able to accompany him wherever he served.

" Thank you dear..," Rex said as he pulled Shezi into his arms.

" All together. Before we leave, can I still participate in Persit activities today...?" shezi asked as she raised her face to look at her husband.

" May dong. What activities are there in Persit today...?" ask Rex.

# Persit stands for United Wife of the Army, an organization consisting of wives of soldiers. Persit functioned to support the duties of the husbands. Not infrequently Persit also conducts humanitarian social activities. #

" Mmm.., if it's not wrong to visit the nursing home and children with cancer at the Hospital.", Shezi said while breaking her husband's embrace.

" okay. Call me if I want to pick you up, '" said Rex.

" Aren't you ashamed to pick me up and hold Captain...?" ask Shezi.

" Why be ashamed, you are my wife. Or is it you who are ashamed because your activities are monitored by your husband...?" rex asked with a probing look.

" Don't start again. I'd like to see if you pick her up.." Shezi said quickly as she put her arms around her husband's neck.

Shezi's pampered attitude made Rex smile. He landed a long kiss on his wife's lips for a while.

" The rich gini makes me even more confused if you are far," whispered Rex in his wife's ear to make Shezi grimace.

" It's noon Captain, you don't want to be late to the office right..," Shezi said.

" Well, ma'am.," Rex said as he let go of his embrace and hurried to the door.

Shezi smiled and followed Rex to the door to let her husband go. Rex appears to be in the car and ready to go.

" Be careful Captain...!" shezi said as she waved her hand.

" Yes Ma'am, Assalamualaikum...! " said Rex.

" Alaikumsalam, "Shezi.

Before turning Shezi turned to look at the field that was not far from the official house he occupied. Shezi smilingly watched the small troop of soldiers running while shouting out loud spirit-burning yells.

The activities of Persit that day were quite solid. They made two visits at once. That is to a nursing home and one of the private hospitals.

While in the nursing home, the members of Persit were shown how the condition of the elderly. There are those who do not have a family, some who are neglected by their family. Some are elderly Social Service entrances found dangle-lunta on the roadside. Some others are actually elderly who are deliberately entrusted by their families just because they are reluctant to take care of the elderly.

" That grandmother doesn't have a family. She had no children, her husband went somewhere" the caretaker said.

Shezi nodded then circulated his gaze until his gaze hit the figure of Grandpa sitting alone in front of the park.

" If the Grandpa was actually entrusted directly with his rich son just because he likes to concoct. His son is ashamed to have parents who he thinks are sane. Though conditions like this naturally occur in the elderly. At the age of old, they will lose their memory so often tell the most memorable experiences in the past repeatedly. Sometimes they also act like little children who like to whine and cry if their wishes are not fulfilled." said the caretaker explained.

" Kasian ya Ma'am" said Shezi iba.

" That's how Mom is. Life was not fair to Grandpa. Whereas in his youth he worked hard to meet the needs of the family, but at the age of twilight he was thrown away just like the child he fought for his happiness..," said the caretaker while rubbing his wet eyes.

Shezi was also moved. He rubbed the back of the caretaker gently to comfort her a little.

The next activity of Persit is a visit to the Hospital. There the members of Persit directed to a special room where patients with cancer.

The patients, all children, were gathered in a large room. They seem to laugh happily when the clown hired by Persit displays various magic attractions. In addition, they also get many gifts from the members of Persit.

Shezi was seen shifting away from fellow members of Persit when his phone rang.

" Captain Assalamualaikum.," Shezi said.

" Alaikumsalam. Where are you, I've been in the loby" said Rex from across the phone.

" I'm still in the room on the third floor. Comforting children with cancer. Do you want to wait or come here...?" ask Shezi.

" okay. When I'm done I'll call you later" Shezi said at the end of the sentence.

Rex smiled and walked into the cafeteria. It was then that he accidentally passed Itje who had just come out of the elevator.

" Reexx...!" call Itje loud to make Rex look and smile.

" How's Auntie doing...?" greet Rex while kissing the back of Itje's hand in reverence.

" Good Aunt Rex news. Auntie happy you finally want to come see Aksara. Thanks to Rex..," said Itje with teary eyes.

" Button of Aksara, is the sick Aksara Aunty...?" ask Rex.

" Do you know Rex ?. Aksara is being treated at this Hospital. Since the accident half a year ago until now he is in a coma and has not been conscious as well" Itje said.

" Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi roji'uun..," Inner Rex riled.

" So you're not here because you want to see the script yes..," said Itje sadly.

" Sorry Aunt. I don't know if Aksara has been treated all this time. But if Auntie Permitin, I want to see Aksara now. Can I have an aunt...?" ask Rex.

" Can Rex, can be really. Come join Auntie..," Itje enthusiastically.

Then Itje took Rex up to the third floor in an elevator. Along the way to Aksara's inpatient room, Itje continued to tell about the accident that Aksara had experienced and his condition so far.

Without Rex realizing, Shezi saw his friendship with Itje. A curious Shezi follows them and is shocked to see Rex enter a hospital room.

Before the room was completely covered Shezi could see the figure of a woman with various hoses lying weakly on top of the bed.

" Doctor Aksara. So you're here because he's Captain." Shezi muttered as he bit his lip.

Somehow Shezi felt her heart throbbing in pain when she saw Rex visiting Aksara. There were tears floating in both of his eyes. Shezi turned around and prepared to rejoin his other comrades.

But in a hurry, Shezi accidentally hit a passing nurse to drop the medicine brought by the nurse.

The noise in front of the room made Rex turn his head and exit the room. He smiled when he saw his wife helping to tidy up the nurse's luggage.

" I'm sorry, Sus..," Shezi said.

" Yes, gapapa Ma'am. If so I'm sorry..," said the nurse politely.

Shezi nodded then prepared to take a step. But his steps stopped because Rex grabbed his arm.

" Where are you going...?" ask Rex.

" Want to go there. What are you doing here ?. Didn't you say you wanted to make coffee in the cafeteria earlier...?" ask Shezi ketus.

" I'm looking at my friend again." said Rex.

" Female friend...?" shezi asked while glaring to make Rex smile because he knew Shezi was jealous.

" Don't be jealous, dear. I had nothing to do with him other than being friends" Rex said.

" I'm not jealous" Shezi said quickly.

" That way we look together yuk..," asked Rex while gently reaching Shezi's waist.

" It can't, I'll be the same with the Mothers of Persit..," Shezi said as he thrashed.

" A minute. Or I'm kissing here huh..," Rex threatened to make Shezi panic.

" Why do you threaten everything...?!" shezi said while glaring.

" I'm not threatening. You just choose, want to go with the peck or kiss, that's all. But you know what I'm doing if I'm gonna kiss you." Rex said with a meaningful smile that made Shezi shudder.

" Yes yes, I'm coming.." Shezi said quickly.

Rex smiled with satisfaction. Then he grabbed Shezi's fingers and held them tightly and took her into Aksara's hospital room.
