Alby enters Silvy's ward, where he sees his pregnant wife staring flat at him. Unlike usual, this time Silvy's gaze was so flat. If before, Silvy seemed always enthusiastic if he met Alby, not this time. Alby stepped foot into Silvy's gurney.
Did he meet Anika and Febri? Inner Silvy.
"Have you eaten?", asked Alby. Silvy was quite surprised to get Alby's question. Just an ordinary question, but somehow Silvy feels this is an extraordinary thing.
In disbelief, if Alby asked like that, Silvy just blinked her eyes. Alby who saw his wife was just dumbfounded to take the initiative to take food on the nightstand.
"Eat, I'm a bribe!", Alby thrusts a spoon in front of Silvy's mouth. Silvy still doesn't believe Alby's treatment.
"Open your mouth!", Alby said. Silvy finally complies with what Alby pinta. There was a smile rising on Silvy's lips. Can he be happy this time? Even for a moment!
"By!", call Silvy down.
"Heum!", that's all Alby said. But it really makes Silvy feel happy.
"I can eat by myself" Silvy said. Alby looked at his young wife's beautiful face. Really young.
"I just want to bribe you and our child!", replied Alby as he continued to feed Silvy.
Silvy suddenly shut up. Is this a dream or is it real? If this is a dream please don't wake me up and let it stay like this God! Inner Silvy.
Silvy stopped Alby's feed. Silvy's pale face was still the main sight before Alby.
"By.. May I ask for one chance to be a small part of your life even if it's only for a little while?"
Alby cutlery silvy back on the nightstand. He stared intently at his wife's face.
"I'll try it but if I'm not what you expect please understand my condition."
Silvy's face sparkled. Is it true that in front of him right now is the Alby he wanted all along???
Suddenly Silvy hugged her husband's body. At first Alby was just silent but a few later, Alby returned Silvi's embrace and rubbed her back slowly.
Am I right, God? Alby closed his eyes. Slowly, Silvy let go of his embrace. He looked at Alby's tired-looking face. Silvy had both hands on Alby's cheeks.
"Thank you for this opportunity!", said Silvy Lirih. Alby lowered Silvy's hand from his cheek. Although he gave Silvy a chance, but for things like that Alby felt he could not. Unfortunately, Silvy took advantage of the opportunity. She grabbed her husband's lips. Alby didn't try to evade but didn't return the favor either. Silvy is still trying to get Alby to give a reply, but a few seconds have passed. Alby was still shaking until Silvy bit his lower lip which made Alby accept his attack.
The longer it goes deeper. Silvy's efforts were not in vain, finally Alby returned the favor. Silvy doesn't care what Alby thinks. Alby's shadow may be Bia, but Silvy really doesn't care.
Alby who has now replied to Silvy is enjoying it even more. Moreover, he had not done it with Bia since Bia miscarried that time.
The activity comes to a halt as Alby pushes Silvy slowly away from him. Silvy was disappointed, but at least this was much better. Alby's not as cold as usual.
"I want to go home first!", Alby got up from his stool, but Silvy grabbed her husband's hand.
"God willing!", replied Alby briefly. Silvy grabbed the back of his hand and then frowned at it with reverence. Alby didn't refuse.
"May you ask By?", he asked again.
"What?"
"I.would wear a hijab, so..please buy it!", said Silvy as he stared at the black bead before him.
"Hijab?", repeated Alby.
"Huum, I want to repent by."
Alby was stunned to hear Silvy's words just now. Really true????
"And.later.we called Bia ya By, I want to apologize. If I don't exist, Bia has forgiven me! And I hope, Bia will receive my baby for treatment with you By!"
The deg! Alby's chest is roaring great. Is that how Silvy looks at death?
"I'll have Bia hold on in a minute!", Silvy lowered his head. His hands rubbed his stomach slowly. In that instant, Alby hugged his wife's body.
"Sorry!", said Alby. Silvy doesn't know the meaning of sorry Alby. He rubbed Silvy's head. Silvy who was in the arms of her husband could not bear to not cry. He was sad, why when he was about to leave was precisely Alby's attitude warmed to him. He wanted to spend more time with Alby! But if the truth is he's just a little splinter in Alby's life, that's okay.
Alby looked up at the ceiling of the room.
Sorry Aa Bia! If I let you go, I will no longer hurt you both! The handsome man tightly hugged Silvy's body sitting in his safe.

Anika did not discuss anything on the way home. Febri, who was used to hearing Anika's chatter, looked in wonder at the girl.
"Cock tumben diem deck?", asked Febri break the silence.
"Eum, to Silvy mas's mind!", Anika replied while still staring at the outside window.
Febri nodded in understanding. After that, they went silent again.
