HUSBAND'S HEART

part 45 NEVER GIVE UP

The smell of carbolic and antiseptic sticks out from the nose, three cleaning service workers just came out of the room. The floor looks still wet, the former is swept by mop cloth and the hand sanitizer bottle looks fully filled, just replaced.

The divider curtains also look clean and hang double near the wall. Medical equipment is neatly arranged in place. All is back to normal after last night this room was full of patients who were victims of a series of accidents involving four motors.

It is said that the cause of the accident was the front biker who installed the left sein but turned to the right. A middle-aged mother who wants to deliver dinner and accompany her husband to sell at the vegetable market.

Grateful there were no fatalities, but almost all had moderate injuries and had just been transferred to the inpatient room. Amazingly, only one person suffered minor injuries, namely the middle-aged mother earlier.

"Good Morning, Doc."

"Hmm, morning."

Doctor Yusuf had just finished his morning prayers, then returned to the IGD room to retrieve the clutch he had placed on the nurse's desk.

Actually today is still counted for three days of leave. But after Yuana's refusal the other day, she spends her time in the hospital.

"Suf, rest first. You're like a panda, I'll look. As I recall, you haven't slept in two days" said Dr. Edgar, whom he had accompanied last night in the IGD room.

"Lazy get me home, Gar."

"You have every problem, it's always like this. Your body has the right to rest, not to be your patient here" Edgar said before he returned to the IGD's ward.

After nodding his head and patting Dr. Edgar on the shoulder, Joseph's doctor walked over to his room. Occasionally massage the base of his nose and blink his eyes. Yeah, looks like he needs to sleep.

Pork!

Unaware that his footsteps were slashing slightly into the middle of the corridor, Joseph's doctor hit the hospital's dirty laundry trolley. A trolley that transports dirty linen from the operating room to the laundry installation room.

"Innalillahi!" shouted the laundry employee because of the sudden shock from behind there was a doctor who hit the trolley he pushed.

"Sorry.. Are you okay?"

Doctor Yusuf, who was waiting for an answer, looked for a moment in green uniform and wore a mask and hat of similar color. But the employee did not say anything, only visible lashes that framed the round eyeball as if stunned to see it.

Doctor Yusuf waved to the face of the employee who then became excited because of it.

"Ah, ti.no. It's okay, Doc."

Joseph's doctor left the employee and went straight into his room. The employee pushed the trolley back. Each did not realize that Joseph's snellen coat, which had been draped over his shoulder, fell into a trolley basket.

In his room, Joseph's doctor put his laptop and clutch in his bag. Make sure the table is neat and glance at the table on the other side. A short-sleeved suit and a sling bag were already draped on the back of the chair. Means Sinta doctor or his friend has come, or even still on duty. He rushed home after sending a message to the officer who was on guard.

Once out of the hospital, doctor Yusuf's mind returned to Yuana's figure. He recalled how Yuana had actually rejected him when he was sure that there was no more barrier for him to propose to Yuana again.

In the past, Yuana's parents did reject her proposal on the grounds of different beliefs, but she did not hear Yuana's direct rejection. Now that he had the same beliefs as Yuana, his parents were gone. Yuana who lives alone must become a single parent.

If he now came forward to propose to her again, logically Yuana should be able to see her sincerity. He is now also established, in contrast to the past who still have nothing and still undergo intership. People who are clear-minded will certainly be willing to accept his application.

But Joseph's doctor realized, this is Yuana. He's different. Joseph's doctor had predicted that Yuana would reject him. But when it's completely denied why the pain feels so stifling like this. Even more painful than when his parents rejected him first.

He had been waiting for Yuana for so long, until his friends often joking, "wait for your jandamu," every time he called Yuana's name. Is now he should really take it off, with a single repulsion from Yuana. No. gabe. He has to try harder.

Thiins... Thiins... Thiins...

The sound of the sea horn resuscitated Dr. Joseph from the daydream. I didn't realize the red light had changed. He also refocused on driving his car.

In the same morning.

"Rim, try to call my number" Yuana asked Rima who had just delivered groceries.

"Why, Mommy?" rima asked but kept picking up her phone and calling Yuana's number, "it's ringing, Ma'am. Where is hape Mommy Yuana? How not to be confused?"

"That's why, Rim. Since yesterday afternoon I have not seen you. It's connecting, right?"

"Yes, Mother. Try to remember, Ma'am, last hold where try."

"Look at the garage time, I put it on a helmet rack. Pas Nabila wear the new shoes are the same Mas Ilham. But I'm looking everywhere there isn't."

"Try fitting breakfast later and ask Mas Ilham aja, Ma'am."

Yuana hears Rima's proposal. Recall that he will be a personal assistant to Ilham. How later, completely unshadowed in his mind. He is still embarrassed and annoyed by the events of yesterday.

But he was determined to carry out all the tasks he received from Ms. Fatma well. Especially when Arief shows the amount of salary he will receive. If he saves money, a few more months can definitely return the money belonging to doctor Joseph, who has redeemed his home certificate and his thank you.

After that Yuana also had to raise a lot of capital to rebuild the business. Impossible right, forever relying on the royalties from Starla and relying on the kindness of the family of Bu Fatma?

Thinking like that made Yuana get excited again. All the sadness has passed well. Living a simple life after living well is also he lived. Just facing Inspiration, what is it? As long as he can take care of himself, everything will be fine.

"Innallaha. The spirit!"

"Yes, Mother. The spirit! But breakfast first, Ma'am, let's get more excited, hehe."

Yuana enters the main house feeling awkward, plus Nabila who seems less excited because there is no Azyan and Norish. But Nabila cheered excitedly when she heard the voice of Inspiration calling out to her.

As soon as Nabila ran towards Ilham, Yuana rushed over to Bu Fatma who had been smilingly welcoming him, then sat down next to him.

"Well, the awaited one has come. Annisa's coming home late in the afternoon, so we'll eat four of them."

"Where is Asiyan, Buti?" Nabila dizzy looking for the whereabouts of Azyan.

"Azyan is having a need, dear," replied Ms. Fatma.

"Asiyan in the same way papina, tan papina dateng. It used to be expected that Serrring invited Bila in the streets, but the buya had died," Nabila looked down sadly remembering Amar, his father.

Ms. Fatma, Yuana and Ilham glanced at each other, hearing Nabila's words. Ilham realized the look of sadness from Yuana's eyes that glanced at him. Ms. Fatma also, she held Yuana's left hand and held it.

"Be patient" comforted Fatma as Yuana looked at her.

"When you want to take a walk with dad?" Inspiration tried to comfort Nabila, somehow seeing Nabila sad, his heart was sore.

'Dad?' ms. Fatma's mind while looking intently at Ilham demanded an explanation.

Yuana was stunned by the question of Inspiration, how could he still talk about himself father in front of Miss Fatma. What will he think later about it.

"Can't Dad?" instantly Nabila raised her face to look at Ilham with sparkling eyes.

"Well, try to ask mother, surely you can," Ilham stroked Nabila's hair while looking at Yuana.

Yuana became excited at such a point. He could not say a word. It feels so awkward. He saw Nabila, Miss Fatma and Ilham alternately. Ms. Fatma could catch the awkwardness, but she also felt sorry for Nabila.

"Of course you can, later Nabila streets with the same father, yes. Now we have breakfast first, hunt the food later," finally Miss Fatma decided to end the chat, which is important to calm Nabila first. Explanation from Inspiration, can be taken care of later.

After breakfast, Yuana helps to clean the dining table and then goes to the kitchen to wash the dishes they just used. While Nabila has been down sitting on the family room carpet playing stacking blocks.

"Yesterday Ilham thought Nabila was an orphan who Ummah adopted. That's why Ilham pede told me to call dad, like Azyan. Not knowing that there was his mother here too" whispered Ilham to Ms. Fatma who asked for an explanation.

"Trus?"

"Yes, his Nabilya is a pleasure. Poor thing, it's okay, justin, Inspiration doesn't matter."

"But Yuana doesn't mind that?"

"Ummah don't see, he's glaring at that. Serem is getting to see it. Hehe..." Ilham raised his shoulders and showed his ignorant smile in front of his mother. Though in his heart always kebat-kebit see the reaction of Yuana every time he calls himself the father in front of Nabila.

"From now on, you don't be ignorant of Yuana. He's agreed to be your personal assistant, he'll be in charge of your health protocols. You have to obey him, be careful if you're fussy."

"What?!"

Inspiration that previously still looked crybaby, immediately shocked to hear the words of Ms. Fatma. It could be that her mother placed Yuana as a personal assistant, just as it was to expose all her current weaknesses to Yuana.

Aaah, how is this? The inspiration that wanted to always appear in front of Yuana with all her charisma and authority, why now even he who had to submit to the arrangement of Yuana. How can he take Yuana's heart if this is the way. She is also worried about her feelings for Yuana. Is there any hope of a future with Yuana later?

"Yuana, come here for a while" called Ms. Fatma when she saw Yuana about to approach Nabila. Yuana finally sat back where she had eaten.

"Mom spoke to Ilham about our conversation yesterday. Let's wait for Arief to come, and I'll explain your first assignment as Ilham's personal assistant," accustomed to managing all affairs in the company and family make Ilham as if dead lice if his mother had spoken and made a decision.

"Let Ilham himself explain, Ummah," cut Ilham, meaning let Ilham himself decide what job description Yuana job, of course with his own perspective.

"Ilham Adelio," if Ms. Fatma has mentioned the full name should be silent first, rather than the length of the business.

"Yes, Ummah," Ilham increasingly felt small under Yuana's current gaze.

"Ummah will only explain the outline, a protocol that should not be violated by you. Yuana must keep that rule. About the details of the implementation later you set yourself as comfortable as possible. You should know the limits, you know?!"

"Yes, Ummah," Inspiration can only resign as a child who is being scolded by his mother. Just duck down, nod and say 'yes'.

Yuana was already like a schoolgirl who was hearing her teacher scold her ignorant friend, she could only come down and hear. Slightly held a triumphant smile while glancing at his friend intermittently. It's like saying 'racaine, same one'.

"How's Yuana, ready?" tanya Bu Fatma ensured Yuana's readiness to become a personal assistant for Ilham Adelio.

"God willing, Ma'am," the aura of decisiveness from Ms. Fatma seemed to rub off into Yuana's heart. Suddenly he dared to hold his head up and look at Ilham with a highlight no less sharp than the one being stared at.

Seeing Yuana's readiness, Ms. Fatma felt calm. The heavy feeling in the nape that felt these few days seemed to lift up by itself. One less burden on his mind and he thinks now he can focus on maintaining his own health.

It is better for Ilham to marry only, with a woman who is patient, understanding and attentive. But will it be as easy as finding the thumb on the palm? Obviously not. Moreover, the bitter experience of Inspiration about romance, must make Ilham difficult to open the heart.

And Ms. Fatma will not force it on a beloved child who just returned to live a new life. Relying on Annisa's help to always pay attention to Ilham was also very unlikely. So with Yuana willing to become a personal assistant for Ilham, it was enough to calm him down.

Not realizing that the two young people in front were at war by throwing sharp eyes at each other.

Gathering all her courage, Yuana threw an intimidating glare, as if to say to Ilham, "just wait, your life is in my hands now! What do you want, huh?!"

While Ilham who was initially worried, became excited again when he saw the courage of Yuana challenged him. As if he could read Yuana's mind, he also sent a reply gaze that was no less sharp. "You may rule my life, but rest assured I will rule your heart."

Yuana gasped when Ilham suddenly blinked one eye while smiling sideways and advancing both ends of her lips at a glance.
