‘’Nel, are you okay?’’ the man I was waiting for finally came. I replied with a headband and there was a sense of relief in my heart.
‘’Ta—but he always just peeked at me. I'm afraid that he will be all kinds,’’ I said softly.
‘’You rest easy, I'll stay here to look after you. Okay?’’ he tried to convince and calm me.
‘’Ma—you mean, you slept on that sofa?’’ I stammered as I pointed towards the sofa that was a short distance from my resting place.
Spontaneously he nodded immediately. It makes me silent. How can I rest, while in this room there is another man who is not my mahram.
‘’What if I was made like that guy? We don't know who he really is,’’ whispered to my heart.
I can't trust that man completely. We do not know how to fill the minds of others, how the intention. That's why I have to be careful.
‘’Ya already, so I slept outside just near the door.’’ made me blink slowly.
He hurried to step outside. I can't ban it. Because it is impossible if he rests in one room with me, while we are not bound by halal ties and I am still his wife Deno. Yes, near the door before entering my ward, there is indeed a waiting chair, to wait for patients.
But was he able to rest quietly in that chair? While the people still pass by and sit also in the waiting chair. Oh God! But I don't know who's gonna take care of me here anymore, what if Deno's man or the actor infiltrates my ward and they mess around, while I was asleep or when I woke up I would not be able to fight it because my limp body was helpless.
I had no choice but to let Reno keep me by sleeping outside. Even though I didn't get to the heart. I'm sure he won't be able to rest well.
The flat object immediately rang, I stared at the thing lying beside me. The notification of the message in the green application. Reno's? Isn't he still here?
‘’Nel, rest. Why are you such a nervous person? I'm still here anyway. Take care of you.’’ instantly makes me turn my eyes towards the window.
Reno was watching me there. Oh God, is it possible for a man I've only known this well for a day? What exactly was the man's intention?
‘’I have not been able to rest, Ren,’’ reply later, which from then on just read the message without reply.
‘’Why, Nel? What are you thinking? Not that you want to quickly get out of here.’’ my eyes are back on the translucent curtains, it looks like Reno is leaning there, only his back is facing here.
‘’I asked ma’af yes, Ren. Because of me, you can't even sleep tonight.’’ I tried to say the one that disturbs my mind. I breathe out slowly. Suddenly a drowsiness was present, but my eyes were reluctant to shut.
‘’Don't tell me how to, Nel. I'm glad I could help you.’’
‘’You rest, it's late at night. Not good staying up.’’
‘’Iya, Ren. Yes I slept first yes.’’ I returned to reply to the message.
My eyes felt heavy. I'll just take a break once. Instantly my eyes were fixed on the thing that was coiling on the wall. At 00.05? Did I see wrong? I rubbed my eyeballs over and over again, but that number only came up. Yeah, maybe it's late at night. I slowly laid down a body that was so very tired and I pulled the blanket.
I woke up again. Somehow the cold so pierced my marrow bone. I remember the man who took care of me. Can I step outside with the infusion still attached? Oh yeah, I have a way. Slowly I sat up and got up with a shunt step, I carried the fluid-dependent tube slowly. My eyes were fixed on the blanket lying on the sofa to my left. I grabbed him, then stepped up with the headache and the hand that was still bandaged.
The door opened, I immediately saw the stranger sleeping in the chair without pillows and blankets.
‘’Yes Allah, can I cover this man? Poor thing, he's like cold,’’ murmured I'm still looking at him who's sleeping. My right hand was still holding the blanket, while my left hand was still holding the infusion tube.
I sighed softly,’’Ma’af yes, I enveloped you.’’ slowly I enveloped her. And I stepped back into my ward.
‘’Nel?’’ his voice made me turn and stop the steps. Oh God! Reno's? It was like a chicken sleep.
‘’Bu—wasn't you sleeping?’’ tanyaku.
He smiled,’’Iya, I was sleeping. Wake up again, will I take care of you.’’p
‘’Eh, are you blanketing me?’’ his eagle eyes stared at his blanket-clad body.
‘’Iya, this cold day you do not even use a blanket. I will be blamed later!’’ my ketus.
‘’Who's wrong with you, Nel? You kok bete kayak his face.’’ he even chuckles small.
I go to the people who are still passing by. Maybe they have a need until this hour is still passing by.
‘’Eh, by the way thank you for the blanket,’’ he said with a big smile. I averted my eyes.
‘’Iya. But remember, I didn't mean anything to cover you!’’ I slowly resumed my halted steps towards the ward.
I closed the door hard and stepped onto the bed while putting the tube that had accompanied me. If I knew I was like this, I wouldn't want to cover that guy. I was annoyed with her, she smiled at me as if by covering her I would give her a glimmer of hope?
Duuh! There was no intention of my other intentions, other than just blanketing him because he was cold. And I did it because he helped me, he's been so kind to me. Although I don't know yet whether his kindness has something behind it. To be honest, from the deepest heart I hated being called a man. The average man is a traitor and a liar. And I'll never easily believe the same thing as a man.
‘’Nel, you why?’’ the man rushed in without knocking on the door or saying hello.
‘’You go home! I don't want to hurt you with my words,’’ I said softly.
Yeah, I'm afraid he'll get hurt with my words especially if I'm angry and don't realize what I'm saying. After all, I owe him my life.
‘’Ta—but, who are you guarding?’’
‘’In shaa Allah, I will be fine here.’’ I said without looking at him.
‘’Alright, but if you need me, just call.’’
I just nodded weakly. I know he's looking at me, but I don't want to look at him.
‘’You be careful and rest!’’ added later.
‘’Ya,’’ sahutku cold.
Suddenly he heard the sound of his steps. I thought he was stepping towards the door. And then the door creaked. I let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly the door creaked again. Makes my chest feel tight.
‘’Mother hasn't slept?’’ I was glad to see who was visiting me. Uniformed woman, Sister Andini.
I shook my head,’’I can't sleep yet, Sus.’’
‘’Why, Mom? What was it thinking? I told you that Mom needs rest and don't think about something that makes Mom's illness increase,’’ he said as he stepped towards me.
‘’Moreover Mother's head that has been hit. If Mother has a lot of thoughts, then Mother's head will feel dizzy and will not heal,’’ he added later.
I sighed heavily,’’Ta—tadi there was a person who took my breath, Sus. I'm scared,’’ I said shimmily.
‘’People who are gintipin Mom? Who?’’ he looked astonished.
‘’Not possible, Mom. In front is a guard. There is no way a bad person can infiltrate here.’’
‘’That's just the feeling of Mother only time,’’ he added then then smile.
And switch to checking on my situation. I just fell silent. But I actually saw someone peeking at me behind those translucent curtains. There's no way I'm seeing it wrong. My eyes are still clean, not myopic.
‘’Alhamdulillah, quite improved the condition of Mother. My advice remains yesterday, please do not mind much first.’’ my eyes are fixed to the curtains. There was a shadow of someone. Was that the guy who was peeping at me? O Allah.
‘’Bu?’’ his call was able to break my daydream.
‘’Ah, yes.’’ I turned.
‘’Why, Mom? What's up?’’
‘’E—no, it's okay, Sus.’’
‘’Ya I'm staying first. Later I will come here again to take care of Mother.’’ the woman in uniform rushed to reach her examiner and move from her seat. There was a real sense of relief when the nurse said she wanted to take care of me. But there was anxiety and fear when he said he wanted to leave me first even if it was only for a little while.
‘’Ya Allah.’’ I sat down and shook my head slowly.
The nurse hurriedly stepped out of my ward. I breathe out slowly. I'm not like any other patient who's taken care of by their family. While me? I'm just alone here. The biological parents are already there, the husband is a traitor, the in-laws are sick, and while the aunt keeps Naisya at home.
‘’Ma, Pa! If only Mama and Papa were still alive, would definitely accompany me here,’’ muttered me with a vibrating voice. The door suddenly crashed hard.
‘’Ka—who are you? Don't hurt me!’’
Seriate.
