I Love You Dr. Chicanery

Sorry mom, Dad

"Who is Joseph's brother, Wa?"

"Part your guard, Mik."

"How will it go if you're here?"

"Rachel's stocking a lot of ASIPs in the fridge, Mik. Ummik don't worry. Hawa has asked permission from Mas Ibrahim for the ceremony here."

"Aihh, you are indeed .... Friends are solid, until Ummik salute. Anyway, Wa, Ummik is very grateful because we have become friends Raya. In the frailest moments you are always there."

"Ahhh, Ummik don't say that donk. Raya is also always there when Eve slumped. Anyway Eve also thanked Ummik. Because Ummik has given birth and raised his best friend Eve."

I realized it, but I refused to open my eyes. My babies. What the hell's going on? I unconsciously stroked my stomach.

"Yhhhhhh!!!! Wake Ray! It's been pretending!"

I heard Eve. Slowly I opened my eyes.

"Eve ..." call me.

"Hmm why? You're surprised I'm here?"

Eve approached and sat beside my bed.

"My baby ...."

Eve breathed.

"I don't think about it with you, Ray. You really set Mahfudz up to make you pregnant. You are a really seductive woman. Naughty Raya, Mik." her tirade was upset.

I don't mind that scolding.

"Where's Mahfudz, Mik? My God, where is my baby, Wa?"

I feel very anxious now.

"God! Are you saying I'm talking?"

Eve looked upset at me.

"Your baby is doing well right now, Ray. Mahfudz, it looks like we're going to the hospital. Is that right, Mik?"

Ummik. Although at first Ummik could not hide the look of his face annoyed me. But in the next minute he began to return to his true nature. The Ummik who loves me.

Ummik approached me and sat down beside me.

"Raya, you know what you're doing isn't right, son?"

I try to sit. Eve helped.

"Raya knows what Raya's doing is not right, Ummik. But the child in the bowels of the Kingdom is not wrong, Mik. Please, Raya asks for help with Ummik, and Ummik also says the same with Mahfudz. I don't want an abortion, Mik. Do not separate Raya with Raya's son. He's Ummik's grandson. You can no longer afford to lose your baby again."

My tears are now falling. I remember a piece of memory last night when I heard Mahfudz proposing me to have an abortion. Oh God, I can't feel it.

"Ummik ..." I whined in the middle of my sobs.

Ummik took a deep breath. Then Ummik inched closer to me. Ummik stroked my stomach.

"Darling, Grandma loves you. Same with your mother. Say the same Mother, if Mother still wants us together, Mother Kingdom must obey both Father and grandmother. Mother should be able to persuade Father Mahfudz. Grandma will help me talk to you later." said Ummik as if communicating with the child in my stomach.

I looked at Ummik who was looking down and talking to my stomach.

"Ummic ...."

Ummik wiped his tears. And sit back. Ummik's hands caressed my hair and tucked the child behind my ears.

"Raya, Ummik can't say anything else when he hears you are pregnant with Ummik's grandchild. Ummik happy and sad to hear it. More from Mahfudz. He loves you very much, son. She was so afraid of losing you and this attitude of yours was very disappointing for sure. You lied to your husband. You can imagine, he panicked yesterday when he told Ummik that you were in the hospital. Until-until he can speak normally Ray, like us. Panic over him."

Haaa? So he can talk normally?

"Now what is Mahfudz, Ummik? Is he still as good at talking about it or is he back as usual?" my many.

"So dawn pas partan with Ummik, it feels like his speech is still normal like last night Ray, Ummik and Mama were shocked last night knew he was talking smoothly. But since last night he did not want to talk too much again and anyways Ummik has not had time to ask what happened actually," said Ummik explained.

I paused for a moment to think about what really happened to Mahfudz.

"If she comes later, apologize to her, Ray."

I'm nodding.

"Ummik, get the porridge first in the pantry. You must be hungry, right?"

I just nodded again.

After Ummik. Eve approached me.

"You are desperate, Ray!" said. "You can deceive your own husband. Crazy you, Ray!"

"Ahh, donk already, Wa! Stop bothering me constantly," I replied with a pouting face.

Eve sneered to see me. "Good luck to your husband, Mahfudz. Try him Mas Ibrahim. You must have been straight up."

I felt bad to hear it and decided not to answer. We kept quiet for a long time until Eve poked my arm.

"So Ray...."

I looked at him. Waiting for him to continue his question.

"What kind of style did you wear until Mahfudz fell into your trap?" goda.

I was upset to see Eve.

"What the hell, Waaaaa?"

"Ummik is not here. Donk's story! Yea? Yea?" persuade him while moving his eyebrows up and down.

"Ihhh, what siiihhh?"

"Oh, put the shame on everything. That face is red, woyyyy!!!"

What the hell is Eve, ashamed. Silently I glanced at the clock in this room. It's still 8:30 in the morning. Ahhh Mahfudz is still a long time home.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

I looked at the wall clock again. Almost 9 p.m. Mahfudz hasn't come here. Is he on duty at the hospital? Why didn't he come to take care of me? At least take the time to visit me even though he still has a duty in the hospital. Not even telling me over the phone.

I've missed him. I'm so sorry why I ran away from her yesterday in the hospital.

"Hmmm .... I don't know, Mama's gonna call. Maybe he'll come here, Ray."

The only ones accompanying me right now are Mama and Fuad. Nadya while living in the Ummik house. While Ummik went home and will come back tomorrow morning.

Is he mad at me?

All day I was in the hospital waiting for him until this night I still didn't see the trunk of his nose. Even people I didn't expect to come. Who else if not Waridi and his wife.

"I'm sorry, for my wife's behavior. He probably did not think that his actions would be fatal. I sincerely hope that we can solve this problem in a familial manner."

That's what Waridi said this afternoon. With his imagery he put up a wall to get my apology and not bring this into the legal line.

"Come, Ma. Apologize to dr. Raya," he told his wife.

And the old woman unreservedly made a request with great force.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to harm you. I'm just emotional because ...." He did not continue his sentence.

"Because what?" many challenging.

Frankly, I'm getting pissed off right now. He made me lie in the hospital and had to bedrest completely.

It seems that Waridi's wife is eager to repay me but she undoes her intention to see the conditions that are not possible.

"Because ....?" ask again.

"Because I'm still not happy Ayuni married your sister-in-law. And I don't like you interfering with my niece's relationship with her future husband."

I was throwing my breath rough. I know he's lying. She pushed me clear because she didn't accept my words about her husband. I nodded.

"Alright, but next time apologize sincerely. I'm not good to see Mrs. Waridi apologized insincerely like that, "I said indifferently.

And I saw that dislike from Waridi's wife. But Waridi I saw another view of him. What was that look? At first glance I felt like he was pitying me. Ah, but I'm sure it's just my feeling.

"What do you think, Sister-in-law?"

Fuad's voice roused me from my daydream about Waridi and his wife this afternoon.

I'm shaking.

"How are you at the Mayor's office?" my many. "Did Waridi bother you often?"

"Enhtreating?" tanyanya's confused.

I'm nodding. "Yes." Yeah."

Fuad smiles. "I think he's the one I've been making a lot of trouble with now."

I'm stunned. "meaning?"

He just smiled mysteriously. Makes me wonder more.

"What are you doing so hard for him?" my insistence.

"Next time I'll tell you. You're healthy first." apparently.

"Tell me now!" my force.

"No. I want to go home now. Ayuni is waiting for me."

I shrugged my shoulders. Free, Fuad would definitely not want to tell her now like whatever I forced her to. Yes, but this Mahfudz why not come too?

"Hey, Sister-in-law! What are you thinking. You're thinking about Mahfudz, aren't you? Do I need her to come here because I've made my sister-in-law worried?"

I'm shaking. "No need. You just go home. Ayuni and Mercy await you. And tomorrow morning you have to go to work, right?"

"Hmmm .... Alright. I'm leaving first, Sister-in-law. Take good care of my nephew, yeah. This time you have to promise, don't be careless anymore" he said.

I nodded in understanding.

POVs Mahfudz

By the time I got back to the hospital it was already 01:20 p.m. I had intended not to come here. After hearing Raya siuman this morning it felt like my anger was exploding again.

I was worried that if I met her when I was angry, I would do things out of my control like scold her, yell at her like yesterday when I vented my frustration in the room. I was really angry when I found the pregnant milk dus under the carpet. And I went crazy when I came back home and confirmed the production code on the aluminum foil packaging with milk cardboard that I found. Yes, he consumed bumil milk, even I had time to drink it. Pregnant milk with a good taste of Swiss chocolate.

I try not to believe based on that alone. Hopefully this is just the plan, I thought at the time. I could've forgiven him if it was just his naughty mind. But my curiosity eventually led me to dismantle her wardrobe. And I found that. Strip testpack with two red lines between the folds of his clothes.

It makes me angry. She could have planted a seed without my knowledge in her womb. Just deserve. It's only worth a month or so that he was aggressive once when having sex with me. Not even shy about asking me myself. This is not the usual. And when she found out that her efforts were working, she wanted to give me some distance to reduce the intensity of our relationship. He must have wanted to keep his contents safe. Raya, you can be sneaky too.

I wanted to meet him at the hospital and ask for an explanation, it turns out he ran away because mom first told him I was angry. Good Lord! He's like a kid. What if I am angry? Am I going to hit him?

Until the night I got a call from Ali if Raya was taken to the hospital. The shock! That's what I felt when I saw him lying on the IGD of Siaga Medika hospital with his lower body full of blood. In my shock, I didn't even realize my voice was turning normal.

"Raya! The kingdom! You why? Awake baby!Wake up!!!!" That's how I yelled at him.

And now I'm at the front door of her treatment room. I opened the door. And I found only Mama herself who was guarding Raya who was sleeping.

"Food? You coming? Just let you know from earlier. You called not picked up. Mama's WA message is also just read doank. Where are you going?" ask Mama to worry.

"Sstttt ...."

I put my index finger on my lips to keep Mama quiet.

"Wake up, Ma!" my whiskey.

Mom understood and whispered.

"Yes, already. Mama pray tahajjud first, son. Mama must pray for the healing of the Kingdom and be grateful for your healing."

I smiled and nodded. Mama, very attentive to Raya. I am so grateful to have him.

When Mama took ablution, I immediately sat down on the side chair of Raya's bed. I slowly touched her stomach, slowly. I whispered beside him.

"Darling, father's son .... Are you here now, in your stomach? .... You can't hurt Mother, yes. If you're naughty, I'll piss you off later," I whispered softly.

I, who thought Raya had slept, was aghast as the increasingly thin hand touched the back of my hand and grasped it. Soon I saw that face.

"Sorry Mother, Father."
