ENTANGLED IN MARRIAGE

Chapter 33

"Where are you? It's been three hours and he hasn't come back here yet" papa Abdi worried about Anna's mother for not returning from the boutique to deliver her friend.

Not long after, Anna's mother returned. He walked with an empty look.

"Well, where are you going? How long ago," papa Abdi had not realized his wife who looked strange. Once he realized that his wife was not well, he came back anxious.

"Why are you, mah? Mah?" papa Abdi's touch on Anna's shoulder woke her from the seagrass.

"Did? Yes, pah. What's up?" mom Anna's tone sounded nervous.

"Sit down, ma'am," papa Abdi grabbed Anna's shoulder and sat her on the couch.

"Why are you, mah? What was? Same story with me!" papa Abdi is very anxious because Anna's mother does not usually look like now.

"I'm fine, pah. Why me?" said Anna's mom was trying to hide something.

"Well, I know you for decades. I know, I know you so well. What's up, mah? What are you covering up from me?" papa Abdi looked closely at his wife.

Mama Anna exhaled softly, it seemed like she really had to tell this to her husband.

"Emmm... Pahs. You remember not that a few days ago I had a nightmare about our daughter again?" papa Abdi nodded.

"Yes, mah. I recall. Why?"

"So, pah. That's it, before I dreamed it. At Al Sama Amera's wedding, I went to the toilet. I accidentally bumped into a woman whose face looked a lot like our lovely-daughter, pah. I just keep trying to find out who that woman is. And earlier, in the boutique I found a photo of the woman plastered on a door of the room. And it turns out that woman" Anna's mom hung up her sentence. That certainly tickles the curiosity of Papa Abdi.

"Who is that, mah?"

"The woman, she's Disa, pah. His sister, Al."

"Can Al's sister?" mama Anna nodded. Appa Abdi so repeated his memory when Al introduced Disa as his sister. Papa Abdi felt the same way as Anna's mother. But papa Abdi dismissed the thought because it was impossible.

"I want to find out the damn death of our daughter, pah. Because I feel something is awkward. Not really, pah?" mama asked Anna to wake Dad from her memory.

"Papa feels unnecessary, mah. Because it could be all just a coincidence. Incidentally Disa does look like our daughter," said Papa Abdi. But Anna's mama will remain stingy on her stance.

"No, pah. There is no coincidence. If you don't want to come find out more about our daughter's death. Let me alone." he said can't be bothered.

Amera is currently on a trip with Arsen. Suddenly he asks Arsen to stop his car when he sees a woman whose face is so familiar.

"Sir Arsen, stop, sir! Stop that!" Arsen stopped his car, then glanced at Amera from the rearview mirror hanging in front of him.

"What's up, ma'am?"

"I'm going down for a second, sir," the man then nodded.

"Good, mom."

amera opened the side door of the car and then exited, to approach the woman she had just seen.

"That's Vira" he said.

"Viraaa.." he called her half-screaming, making the woman who walked about five meters from the back of her car turn her head.

"Amera," said Vira, turning her head, looking at who the person who had just named her.

"Yes, it's Amera. Ameraa..." Vira slid towards Amera by stretching out her hands. It was warmly welcomed by Amera until finally they embraced each other.

"Gue kangen very much lo," said Vira after releasing his embrace.

"Oh, yes, you're in Jakarta? Why?" hearing Amera's question, Vira's originally happy facial expression now turned sad.

"I'm sorry about the same, because I met up with our meeting. My mother was in the hospital and had to be treated there. Until now, my mother is still in care and all that costs a lot. So I went to Jakarta to find a job. But I haven't been able to get a job yet. I tried to dive Amora Caffe until I tried several houses. But yes, the result remains the same. I'm not welcome," Amera looked at her friend's concern. He could feel how it was in Vira's position.

"Lo is patient, yes! I will help you find a job. If there is, then I will tell you. Yeah?!" Vira nodded, Amera rubbed her friend's shoulder.

"Yes, Ra. I thank you earlier, yes. Lo emang my friend who paaaaling well," he said moved, indeed from the first only Amera who understood him the most.

"Together, Vir. Oh, yeah, where are you going now? Where do you live? Let you be with me" the woman refused Amera's gentle invitation.

"No need, Ra. Thanks though. I want to find another job."

"Oh, that. Yes, yes, I am first."

"Yes. Careful, yes!" demgan heavy heart Amera had to go, but he still wanted to chat a lot and linger with Vira.

"Road again, sir!" amera told Arsen when she got into her car.

"Good, mom."

"More.. Nenee..." Amera went even deeper into the kitchen, but she did not find the figure she was currently looking for.

"Where art, huh? As I called her tugben, "Anera frowned, thinking about where Neni was going.

"Am I trying to check into his room this time, huh? Who knows if he overslept" Amera decided to check on Neni in her room.

"Nen, Nenii.." while knocking on the door Amera called out to him. There is no lawfulness either. Finally Amera tried to open the doorknob of Neni's room.

"Not in the lock. I tried to get in, man," he said, then opened the door slowly. Then in.

"Neenn.." call him again, after entering Neni's room.

Amera was surprised to find Neni lying on the bed with a blanket wrapped all over her body, except for the head.

"Astagfirullah, Nen. You why?" Amera suddenly panicked and worried to find Neni shivering.

"Huhuhoo.hu.. Cold neni, mbak. Huhuhoo.." Neni tried to answer Amera's question despite her trembling lips, her face looked pale. Amera put the back of her hand on Neni's forehead.

"Geez, you're a goon. We're going to the hospital now!" amera kin's anxiety is growing. While Neni shook his head weakly.

"Any thing, mbak. Neni's just a normal fever, really. Huhuhoo.."

"But you need to be on medication, Nen," Neni refuses to take Amera to the hospital. Amera is afraid that Neni is okay.

"Jude, wait a minute, yeah! I'll take a compress for you first. Let your body temperature drop, "without hearing Nei's answer again, Amera immediately moved on from there.

Not long after, Amera returned with a bowl of water and a small towel in her hand. He immediately dipped the small towel into a bowl filled with water. Then stick it to Neni's forehead after she squeezes it out.

"Hopefully your fever drops huh, Nen," Amera looked at Neni for pity. Because from that moment on he kept shivering nonstop.

Ten minutes after being compressed by dipping the small towel a few times and then sticking it again on Neni's forehead repeatedly. Neni finally went to sleep. His body temperature has started to fall. Amera can only go to let Neni who is currently resting and asleep.
