Like Rubbish

A good daughter-in-law.

Ms. Merly was in the hospital for several days. Every day, the whole family took turns to visit him. The most intense being beside him was Sacred. He deliberately resigned from his job to become an OB in order to focus more on paying attention to his mother-in-law.

His daughter-in-law was painstakingly looking after him while taking care of him. Sometimes Bu Ayu accompanied.

Doctors have given maximum care but his condition has not improved.

"Mostly the mistress is treated at home so as not to feel saturated. The warm atmosphere at home will help improve the mood so better and excited. It will help his healing. There's no need to worry because I'm going to assign a nurse to check on Ms. Merly's condition." The doctor explained to Riki and Mr. Hans.

"All right, we agree." Mr. Hans responded after previously asking Riki's opinion.

That day, Ms. Merly was brought home. He was laid in bed. A medical staff as well as a therapist assigned the Hospital to take care of it. But for the business of feeding and cleaning his body is done by Saints with pleasure. The saint himself asked for it.

Tomorrow morning.

Mr. Hans is already in Riki's study. Sitting next to his son on a sofa.

"Papa must now also return to Japan, there are still many jobs there that really cannot be left behind. Papa put mom here. As soon as all the business there is done, papa will return to Indonesia." Mr. Hans was hard-hearted in making that decision. Actually he wanted to always be next to his wife but a pile of work was waiting to be cleared up.

"Papa don't worry, we'll all take good care of Mama." Riki nodded steadily and his hand patted Hans's shoulder, pouring out positive energy for his father to get more excited.

The biggest knot smile on Mr. Hans' lips. He held Riki's hand which was still on his shoulder. He indicated that he was ready for his decision. The man who was still exuding charm at an age that was no longer young was now calmer. He believed that his wife would be fine given that there was medical staff taking care of her. Moreover, coupled with the existence of Saints in this house, there was nothing he had to worry about. Mr. Hans has a lot of faith in his daughter-in-law.

"Papa believes in the Holy. He'll take good care of your mama." A smile appeared on his lips.

Riki gave a smile. There is pride there.

"Papa is glad that you have found such a good companion as Saints. May you always be happy." Now it's Mr. Hans' hand that pats his son's shoulder gently.

Riki simply replied with a nod and a smile.

***

Ms. Merly was lying stiff on the bed. His eyes rolled to the ceiling. Occasionally glanced left and right, looking at who the person there was.

Mr. Hans and Riki were on his right side and Saints as well as Raisya were standing on his left. Mr. Hans sat on the edge of the bed and gently rubbed the head of the woman who had been with him for decades.

"Ma.papa now also have to return to Japan because a lot of work is waiting. Mama knows, right ?! soon papa will be back once everything is in order. Mama's fine here and should keep her spirits up. Mama will not be lonely because now there are three of our children who will take care of mama." Mr. Hans smiled.

The saint looked towards his father-in-law.

"There are Riki, Raisya and also Saints who will accompany mama. Papa's calmer to go." Now Mr. Hans turned his gaze towards his son-in-law and smiled meaningfully.

The saint looked back. What a word that came from Mr. Hans' mouth was truly sincere.

I hope someday my mom will have the same feelings for me. Like a father who sincerely accepts me not only as a son-in-law, but also as his daughter.

After saying goodbye, Mr. Hans finally went to the airport to be escorted by Riki. Raisya must return to the Boutique because his job cannot be abandoned. There's only Saints and a nurse in Ms. Merly's room.

Some time passed and now Suci has brought a small bowl of porridge and also herbal drinks. He kept that tray on the nightstand.

"How's mom sister's condition ?" Suci asked while spooning the porridge into Ms. Merly's mouth.

"The condition of the madam has improved more than yesterday even though her body still can not be moved."

"Patient mom, later it will also be normal again as before." Sacred smile cheered.

Her hands are still trying to put food in Ms. Merly's mouth. It is slightly evaporated because the mouth is still not open normally. After the porridge is half gone, he gave the herbal drink in a way spooned a little bit as well as before.

Finished feeding, the Saint brought back the eating utensils earlier down. Soon as possible back up. At that time Dara was preparing warm water to clean Ms. Merly's body.

"Let me do it."

Dara tried to subtly reject the Holy's request. Actually he felt bad because he should have done that. But in fact the Saints always offered to replace his duties. Even while in the Hospital was Holy who always took care of Ms. Merly. Never let a nurse do it.

"But this is part of my duty, miss." Dara tried to refuse.

"It's also my job to take care of my mother-in-law. So sister don't be shy."

"Well, lady, you're a really good daughter-in-law. Mrs Merly was very lucky. I'm sure he'll heal soon." The nurse smiled sweetly.

Suci takes Bu Merly to the bathroom assisted by Dara using a wheelchair. But when cleaning his body only Saints do. Dara was waiting outside.

"Mama is fresh now." Suci looks very happy when wearing clothes to mother-in-law.

The Saints pay great attention to my every need. He did not feel at all uncomfortable let alone disgusted when doing so. His movements are so soft. Why can he still do good when I have hurt his heart a lot ?

All that gentle demeanor and attention of his son-in-law managed to slap his thoughts. His heart was touched, completely touched being treated like that. Tears flowed down both of his cheeks.

"Why is my mom crying ?" Holy wiping the clear circles.

Dara just stood there watching.

"Mama do not be sad, mama will definitely recover and can move as usual. Now we better sunbathe while looking at the scenery so that mama does not get bored."

Saints are very good women.

The tears fell back. He really wanted to scream. Wanting to immediately hug his angel-like hearted daughter-in-law. But now he can't do it.

"Mama doesn't look graceful when she cries." The Saints returned to wipe away those tears.

After finishing dressing Ms. Merly, Suci and Dara took her to the balcony to greet the morning sunshine.

Although he could not express himself but it was seen that at this time the mood of Bu Merly was good. He enjoys being with the Holy. It was so nice because her daughter-in-law was not stopping to talk to her. Discuss funny things to cheer his heart. Dara also mingled. They look familiar.
