54. Back Continued

"Good morning dear". Marvin said as he landed a kiss on the top of Marinka's head.

"Good morning ". Marinka replied uninspired. Marvin frowned. Seeing the strangeness on Marinka's lackluster face. His face was a little pale.

" What's wrong with you? You're not excited? ". Marvin asked worried.

" I don't know Marvin, I don't feel well. It feels so weak ". Marinka.

Marvin who that morning had looked half neat immediately sat on the side of Marinka's bed. Trying to give a massage in his wife's head.

" Why are you getting tidy in the morning? Where are you going? ". Ask Marinka.

" I told you last night, there was an important meeting with a client. You rest first, don't go to work. You've been working too hard for two months. You forgot to rest. Let me help you later. There's catty in there anyway, isn't there? ". Marvin.

" I have an appointment today. I can't just cancel. He's been all the way out of town ". Saying Marinka lazy.

" Okay, take a break, I'll make you breakfast ".Marvin rubbed Marinka's head gently and rushed out to make breakfast. I heard Marinka's cell phone ringing.

" Yes Auntie, what's wrong? ".

"..."

"What! ".

********

I heard footsteps half running. Marinka approached Marvin who was busy making breakfast in the kitchen.

" Belvin ".

Marvin who was surprised to see the look on Marinka's face that was getting pale became more worried.

" Dear, what's wrong? ". Marvin asked as he approached Marinka and asked her to sit in a sofa.

" What's Calm ". Marvin said as he rubbed Marinka's back.

" Papa.. My aunt just told me that papa's in the hospital. This morning, his health suddenly dropped. I need to get to the hospital right away ". Marinka said trembling.

" All right, I get it. You clean yourself up. I'll drop you off ". Marvin said, and Marinka took a shower.

******

Marinka and Marvin rush down the aisle of the hospital. They can't wait to find out about their parents. It's like de javu when Mr. Louis had an accident a while back.

From far away Marinka was able to see her three families. Aunt elly, aunt mouli and uncle Mike.

"Uncle, Auntie, what happened? ". Marinka asked.

" I don't know, honey, your dad was okay at first. But after he received the call all of a sudden he fainted ". Obviously aunt elly.

" Who called Auntie? ". Marvin asked full of questions.

" Aunty doesn't know Marvin either. A private number".clear aunt Elly.

"Calm down, baby, nothing's gonna happen to your papa son ". Said Aunt Mouli while gently grasping Marinka's hand.

" Your aunt's right, you don't worry ". Mr. Mike said to calm down.

Marvin rubbed his face rough. These few months his life was very calm and peaceful. He has what he wants. A happy family. Father, mother, wife all almost complete. But this morning he felt someone was back to tease him.

Marvin's phone rings. He quickly reached into his pants pocket. There's Arina's name there. Marvin refused the call. Then put his phone back in his pants pocket.

"What's wrong with Arina. Why call me at the wrong time ".

" Marvin, who's the phone from? ". Ask Marinka.

" It doesn't matter. Don't worry ". Marvin said with a smile.

" Maybe it's one of the clients you'll meet later. You work, I'm fine here first. I'll call Catty to reset my schedule".

"I'll wait for the results of the doctor's examination first. I'll just go ".Marvin said gently as he rubbed Marinka's arm giving her full support.

" How is papa doctor? ".

" It has improved for now but the patient is not yet conscious. It should be noted that the patient should not be stressed. Something seems to shock him. So I hope the patient is not surprised by news or circumstances that make him think too hard". The doctor said and left.

"Well Marinka, I'll go to work first. I'll be here again. Uncle Auntie I'll drop Marinka for a second ". Pamit Marvin then left the hospital.

" Why are you late? ". Ask Leo.

" Papa Louis was suddenly rushed to the hospital. And I have to get Marinka there first ". Obviously Marvin.

" Why is that all of a sudden? Was it sick before? But I've heard lately his health's improved ".

" I don't know, Aunt Elly said this morning on a call from someone. Then suddenly papa fainted ".

" What did that man say to Uncle Louis? ".

" I don't know Leo, I feel like someone's starting to tease me ". Marvin tried to think.

" Oh yeah, Arina called me many times. What's wrong with her? Why call at inappropriate times ".

" I don't know I don't know either ".

" Did he tell you about his problem yesterday? ". Marvin asked curiously.

" Ah yes.. Mm... That's... Not ". Leo answered nervously.

" I'm sorry Marvin, but this is too dangerous, I can't tell you the truth yet ". Inner Leo.

" Okay, maybe he's not ready yet ".

" I think so ".

" I'll be home soon, but I'll see Arina before I get to the hospital. He sent a message saying something was important and told me to go there ".

" All right, no problem ".

***********

Arina pacing back and forth in her apartment. He got a mysterious call this morning. The caller said it would make Marvin lose his family one by one. It made Arina not calm all day. He was afraid something might happen to Marvin.

The door opened and Marvin entered the apartment. Then rushed to Arina.

"What's wrong? Why keep calling me? ". Ask Marvin without further ado. Then the man dropped his body on the couch. Time shows it's almost evening. And he's late for the hospital because his work piles up. He should be in the hospital with Marinka. Remembering Marinka was not feeling well this morning made Marvin more worried.

Arina who saw Marvin was in her apartment was relieved.

" Thank God my brother came. I've been so scared since morning. I got a mysterious phone call, brother. He said he'd make Marvin lose everything. I don't know who they are ". Arina said nervously.

" Who would dare to pose such a threat ". Marvin began to get nervous. Moreover, he remembered that papa Leo entered the hospital also because of a mysterious phone call.

" Beware, sister, and Marinka. Don't let him go too far. I suspect someone. I'm afraid Jimy's going crazy for not finding me and making you his target. He's a psyco ". Arina said slightly shuddering in horror.

" all right.. I'm grateful to you. I gotta get going. There's a little trouble at home and Marinka needs me. And you don't think about anything. Let me take care of everything ".

" Okay, come home quickly. Don't let Marinka think of things ". Arina.

" Okay, I'll go first ". Arina escorted Marvin to the door. And when the door opens Marvin and Arina are shocked by someone's arrival.

Arina and Marvin freeze. Their faces were pale and their lips were muddled. Can't say anything.

" So like this? ".
