"Who's package, Ray?" ask Mama.
I didn't answer Mama but checked the big brown envelope. On the envelope are written capital letters that say HOSPITAL ALAGA MEDIKA along with the address and telephone number. I read the name of the recipient. Mahfouz Alzhafran. In the corner of the envelope was also written "secret documents".
"This isn't for Raya, Ma. But for Mahfud" I replied confusedly.
Mom saw the envelope.
"Oh, that's right. What's it all about, huh? Open it, Ray." tell Mama.
"Emmm, later Raya asked Mahfudz first, yes Ma. It's not what. It's not good for Ma, open it first without Mahfudz's knowledge. Whatever it is." I replied.
I was actually curious about the envelope. It was not just letters and sheets of paper. Besides it seemed like there was also like a round piece inside.
"Yes, that's it. Wait for him to come home, Ray. Now what do you want to eat? Mama made it?"
"Just take it yourself, Ma. Eat what is there."
"Eh, can't. Anyway you should be in bed. Mama will take it then," said Mama leaving me glued to myself on this bed.
Mahfudz received a letter package from Siaga Medika hospital in the form of confidential documents. What is it? Why don't I know?my thinking.

POV Author
Mama was frowning looking for something, so that made Ayuni who was cooking in the kitchen inevitably have to say hello to her mother-in-law first.
"What are you looking for, Ma?" ask Ayuni.
"Where is the rice storage?" ask Mama back without looking at Ayuni.
Mama looks indifferent to Ayuni making the woman feel pain in her heart.
"Ayuni's been cooking rice, Ma. It's in magic com, if you want to eat," he replied.
"Mama doesn't want to eat. Mama just wants to make pureed raya. She likes to eat my mama's porridge."
"Oh ..." Those are the only words that Ayuni could say.
She realized how much love was given, not only from Ummik and her husband, even from their mother-in-law.
"Where?" press Mama again.
"Oh, there."
Ayuni showed the rice storage. Then without asking again, Mama then took enough rice. After washing and attacking the rice on the stove, Mama continued to cook vegetable soup for Raya.
Ayuni could only pay attention and hold the bitter feeling in her heart. How different your mother's treatment of her is.
"Well, what do you want to do in the kitchen?"
Mama's voice breaks Ayuni's daydream.
"Raya just wants to grab a drink, Ma. It's thirsty."
"Sit down, baby. You should be in the room. Let Mama take her drink."
Mama sat Raya in the dining chair.
"Yes, Ma, weigh drinking water to the kitchen only time can not? The kitchen is also close by not until 10 meters as well." objected Raya.
"No way, Ray. The doctor said you had to bedrest a total."
"Raya is also a doctor, Ma," Raya murmured softly as if afraid of others misinterpreting her words with a sense of bragging.
Mama handed Raya a glass of water and stroked her daughter-in-law's back fondly.
"That's right. But now you're also a patient of another doctor. And you promised Mahfudz, didn't you do anything for your good?"
Raya resigned if Mama had brought the name Mahfudz. However, she has promised Mahfudz will be a obedient wife this time.
"Yes already, Ma. Later Raya returned to the room. But let Raya eat here, yeah. Once a time, please ..." Raya whine.
After considering it again, Mama finally agreed.
"Yes, we eat the same. Where's your ummah?"
"Maybe on the porch, Ma. Jagain Rahmat" replied Raya.
Mama immediately looked for Ummik to the terrace to be invited to eat together. Not long after they returned, Ummik took a chair to sit near Ayuni while holding Grace.
"Mik, Raya wants to eat black sticky rice porridge made by Ummik," Raya whine.
"Later afternoon Ummik make, yes!" Ummik.
"Hmmm" muttered Raya.
The atmosphere in the dining room was nothing special except Mama's attention to Raya. It seems that the mother of Mahfud was very dear to Raya. Ayuni could see all of that. Such attention and affection that she could not possibly get from her mother-in-law, even hoping that half of it would not dare.
"Raya, what else do you want, son? You want some more vegetable soup?" ask Mama to offer.
"Udah, Mom. This is enough. I'll spend this first" replied Raya.
"But you have to eat a lot of honey, Mama loh deliberately make a lot so that your nutritional needs and your grandchildren are fulfilled. Moreover, you are very skinny deh Mama see, added a little more, yes ..." persuaded Mama.
Then without the approval of Raya, Mama added the vegetable to the plate Raya.
Raya glanced at Ayuni with a bad taste. Very visibly the face full of sadness in the eyes of the young mother saw the different treatment by her in-laws towards her and the wife of her sister-in-law.
"You too, Ayuni. Shine your plate!"
"No need, brother!
Without waiting for Ayuni, Raya then spooned the vegetable to Ayuni's plate.
"You should also eat plenty of vegetables and other nutritious foods. You're also pregnant, not just me. Mama made a lot of it anyway, didn't she, Ma?"
"Hmmm .... Aye." Yeah." Mama answered indifferently.
Everyone at the dinner table could see how greedy Ayuni was to eat the vegetable soup made by Mama. But when the food was almost finished, Ayuni suddenly felt a huge boost in her stomach. Swing nausea and will soon vomit. Immediately she ran to the bathroom and pulled out her entrails there.
"Huk!!! Hukkk!!"
"Dadouh, Mama, come on like morning sickness again, let's check it out for a minute."
"No. Don't need. You're here!" mom's orders. " Well, what's the bathroom?"
"Huk!!! Hukkk!
There was still vomiting from the bathroom.
Raya tried to stand up. But my mother forbade.
"Udah, Raya is here. Let Mama see."
Mama sat Raya back.
"Let me that ...."
" ..... Ummik! Please get Raya tissue, Mik! The hand did not arrive."
Raya tries to cut off Ummik's words to distract Ummik who wants to help Ayuni. With one blink of an eye, Raya tried to signal to let Mama who came to Ayuni into the bathroom. And Ummik seems to understand.
It's not that I have no purpose in doing that. Raya wants her in-laws to have a good relationship with Ayuni. By doing so, Raya hopes that her mother-in-law has a little mercy on the woman who is pregnant with her granddaughter.
And sure enough, Mama who saw Ayuni vomit nonstop for almost 15 minutes, immediately became pity. Ayuni spewed out all the food she had eaten.
"You vomit almost every day like this?" ask Mama while massaging the nape of Ayuni.
"Mmmm ...." Ayuni nodded. And ....
"Hoo!!!! Hueek!!!
Ayuni vomited again, but this time nothing came out because the entire contents of her stomach had come out from earlier. But he still felt nauseous.
Ayuni felt weak as her stomach had stopped nausea. Mom led him to the room. While Raya was already in her room ushered by Ummik while still holding Grace.
Mama immediately laid Ayuni to the bed and covered Ayuni with a blanket up to half her chest. Seeing Ayuni who looks weak and exhausted from removing all her entrails makes Mama feel pity and pity for the woman who is pregnant with her granddaughter. After all, the fetus in this woman's body is her flesh and blood.
"You're vomiting like this there must be a trigger. Is there anything you didn't like at the dinner table?" ask Mama.
Ayuni hesitantly nodded.
"Yes, Ayuni doesn't like the smell of fried fish. It made Ayuni nauseous," she replied honestly.
"Keep if you don't like why still keep eating? You cooked that fish, too, right? Frying you did not nausea? Or was it nausea before Mama went to the kitchen?"
Ayuni nodded.
"Ummik wants to eat fried fish. Ayuni does not feel good telling Ummik if in fact Ayuni since pregnancy does not like the smell of fish" he replied innocently.
Mama sighs.
"Why should you feel bad? Ummik must understand your difficulties. Yes already, Mama who talked later to Ummik so as not to tell you to cook and be close to the one that smells of fish" said Mama.
Ayuni immediately shook her head.
"No, Ma. Come on, it's okay. Ayuni can hold it. Ayuni does not feel good with Ummik." reject Ayuni.
"Ayuni, you don't be stubborn donk. In your stomach is your grandson, Mama's flesh and blood. I don't want anything to happen to you!" mama was half upset.
Ayuni who heard only fell silent. In her heart she was touched to hear the words of Mama. Does that mean Mama's starting to care about him?
Long Mama and Ayuni fell silent in the room. Until Mama wanted to leave, because she felt bad about the awkward atmosphere.
"Yes, if so Mama ...."
"Dear mom, same Kak Raya?"
The words spontaneously slid from Ayuni's mouth cutting off Mama's words.
Mama who was about to rise up from the bed again sat down to hear the question of her youngest daughter-in-law. It seemed like he knew why Ayuni had asked him such a question. This is a good time to explain what he feels. That's what my mom thought.
"Yes, Mama loves Raya." she replied briefly.
"Because of Doctor's Brother?"
Mama took a breath.
"Mama loved him, because the Kingdom changed our lives a lot. Raya also once saved Nadya when she drowned, she accepted the condition of Mama Mahfudz's child with all its limitations. The relationship of Mahfudz and Fuad that did not get along, more or less can be good as now thanks to Raya as well. My mother was grateful to enter our lives. Mama loves him and Mama doesn't expect you to compare yourself to him."
Ayuni nodded and her tears began to drip now.
"And if Ayuni was born to be a person like Raya, could Mama be able to love Ayuni just as Mama loves Kak Raya? Could Mama be able to treat Ayuni as a daughter-in-law just like Mama treated Kak Raya as Mama's favorite daughter-in-law? If I could have been born like Kak Raya .... Hicks .... Unfortunately I was just born to be this kind of person, Ma. I'm totally useless. I'm not worth loving ...."
Mama was flabbergasted to hear Ayuni's words. Didn't expect Ayuni to respond like that. Is it due to her pregnancy hormones that she is becoming more sensitive now?
While Ayuni increasingly shed her tears. Shortness is what he felt. And now he felt stupid for daring to say such a thing to Mama.
"Ma-I'm sorry, Ma. Ayuni did not mean anything to say that to Mama. Fuck this mouth, "the ring.
Now he's wringing himself at the sass of his own mouth.
Unexpectedly Mama even stroked Ayuni's hair.
"June, Mama doesn't want to be mean to you and compare you to Raya. Either way, you're both Mama's daughter-in-law. Just like Mama loved Mahfudz and Fuad, Mama also did not want to distinguish you and Raya. I understand and feel sorry for your difficult and sad journey. Mama wants to accept you as your daughter-in-law. But if you see your son, it feels like Mama is not strong. Mama always thought about that man, the man who had been rude to you. And Mama took pity on Fuad. Can you understand how you feel?" mama said she poured out all her feelings.
Ayuni nodded sadly. Well, it is undeniable, receiving Grace as a member of her family must not be an easy thing for Mama. Ayuni understood Mama.
Ayuni dissolves in her sadness and gets even more sad when Mama asks for something she cannot possibly fulfill.
"Ayuni, you leave your son to the man. After that, you can come to your mom. We can live together happily with Fuad, Nadya and the grandchildren you are carrying" said Mama.

RSIA Satya Medica
Today the mayor and deputy mayor of the city took part in the RSIA Satya Medika. This piece as usual is done suddenly without the knowledge of any party. No one knows, not even Fuad knew of this plan, because the originator of the idea was Waridi. With a covert mission to bring down Raya, Waridi sparked this idea with the reason to get an initial evaluation of the performance of medical and non-medical staff at RSIA Satya Medika. Mayor Darwis agreed.
All the staff were panicked about the sudden arrival of the number 1 couple in the city without prior notice. All were pounding in fear that they would get a reprimand from the mayor and his deputy.
"Please continue with the work! Do not be disturbed by our arrival." said mayor Darwis.
All who head each department are told to face the Mayor and his representatives in order to lead the representatives and the mayor to each room. Other staff may continue their work.
All the chief doctors were gathered there. But it feels like less than one person.
"Where is the Chief Physician of our Obgyn Department?" ask mayor Darwis.
Before the question was answered, Waridi had developed a faint smile.
Dr. Raya, it's over now! Inward in the heart.
