I'm sorry, My wife...

Chapter 9 Meeting Again #3

It's late afternoon soon. Maria is waiting for her next bus. The last bus that will take him to his cousin's place.

Long time ago the bus came. If there is no public transport going through. Did you just take an online taxi, he murmured again. He seemed agitated at times looking at the clock on his phone screen.

I hope there are buses passing by.

While across there Daniel just came out of the minimarket. He saw Mary at the stop. What was he doing there, not with Adi.

He took his favorite motorcycle to run slowly to the bus stop. Arriving in front of the bus stop Daniel invites Maria to ride on his bike. Think for a moment and sit behind Daniel. Daniel's motor starts to go slowly.

"You're home..."

"No-no to my cousin first" Maria told me. Then Daniel runs the bike according to the direction of Maria.

Arriving at the place where Maria was heading down from the motorbike. Mary walked into her cousin's house followed by Daniel behind her. A simple house with cream paint, a matching painted living room.

There sat a sweet girl a few years older than Mary. Black hair as a shoulder of clean skin, clear eyes nose pointed, lips smile faintly. Staring intently at Mary who was stared at only reviewed a faint smile.

" Cousin, this is Daniel my friend" he said, turning his eyes away.

" Janiel".

" Renata".

" Already know your mistake" asked Renata softly but still stared intently at Maria.

" I'm sorry" Maria's voice weakened as she clasped her two hands to her chest.

Daniel who saw just sat and listened.

The girl named Renata sighed softly. He had to be patient with his cousin who took his problems lightly. The disease although not severe but although treated seriously. And that's what he told Maria, because Renata was a doctor.

Some time ago Maria was treated in the hospital for her illness. He did not tell the hospital where he was being treated including his girlfriend, Yo, a favorite call for Adi. Some time disappearing makes Adi very lost and forced to accept an arranged marriage with Shasha. When in the care of Maria heard the news that her lover was getting married. He was shocked and tried to accept it. With great difficulty he asked his cousin Renata for permission to attend his girlfriend's wedding. Renata could not bear to see his cousin was sad and allowed Maria to meet Adi for a while. Return to the hospital for treatment.

Maria is better now. He did not want to be tied to hospital equipment and chose to take road treatment. He entrusts his treatment to Renata, his cousin. For almost a week he did not tell his cousin. Many times her cousin called and texted her but Maria didn't answer. Only once did he give a reply due to a harsh rebuke from his cousin.

Renata stood up and entered the house for a while and then went out to sit in his place earlier.

" Don't forget to call me" Renata said, giving the package to Maria.

" Next month routine check to the hospital" said Renata reminded.

" Have to go to the hospital" asked Maria again.

" There is more complete equipment" said Renata.

After thanking his cousin Maria, he returned home. Followed by Daniel next to him, he also went home. Daniel was silent without a sound.

On the way Daniel invites Mary to eat at a roadside food stall. It just so happened that her stomach was hungry Maria nodded. Daniel stopped at his chicken soto stall.

While waiting for his order came Daniel ventured to ask.

" What are you sick with?" ask Daniel. Maria paused for a moment then hesitantly said.

" I'll tell you a story but promise not to talk to her" Maria pleaded. He who was referring to Mary was Adi.

He did not want Adi to know about his illness. Not knowing what the obvious reason was that Daniel confirmed Mary's words.

Then Mary told me about her illness. It began with only the pain that Maria felt under her stomach. For a long time the pain could not be held then he went to the hospital to check his condition. After hearing the information from the doctor Maria tried to outpatient course. Because it was a bit late handling Maria had to be treated a few days for her condition to improve.

" It's harmless just a small lump in the uterus, but it's still being taken seriously" Renata's doctor explained.

With a heavy heart Maria managed to stay in the hospital for several days. And after his condition improved Maria asked for road treatment only.

"So far everything is fine, I'm afraid it's cancer" Maria said.

Daniel listened attentively and trepidly looked to Mary. The woman he loved was also loved Adi was looking down sad.

Daniel took Mary by the hand and comforted her. Encouraging Maria not to despair and keep praying.

After talking for a long time finally the order came and ate it.

After eating Daniel paid for his food and left the food stall.

It was evening when Daniel drove Mary home. Mary thanked Daniel for bringing her home.
