Loving Brother-in-law

Sam Conscious

Winter has now turned into spring, the cold air is starting to feel warmer. The sunlight slowly penetrated the window curtain where Sam was treated, the shrill whimper accompanied by weak fingers movements began to be clearly seen.

"Sir. Mr. Sam is aware" Aji said, calling Mahesa.

"Oh God... Thank God, Aji, you called the doctor to check on Sam! I'll be there soon" Mahesa replied from the phone.

"Well" said Aji and hung up.

Shortly thereafter, the doctor came to examine Sam's physical and state closely. Aji who was standing on the side of the bed looked expectantly that Sam would recover soon.

"Doctor how is my son?" Ask Mahesa who just entered the nursery.

"Unbelievable Mr. Mahesa, Sam's condition has stabilized, and has improved very rapidly lately. He just needs time to recover his strength" said the doctor smilingly shaking Mahesa's hand.

"Thank you Doctor" said Mahesa with a feeling of relief and relief.

"Together sir, if anyone is needed contact me. Excuse me first" said the doctor immediately stepped away.

Mahesa approached Sam who was still closed, he wanted to be on the side until he opened his eyes. But conditions were not possible because that day Mahesa had to attend an important meeting.

"Aji, you take good care of Sam. I have to go for a meeting, let me know Sam's situation all the time. You gotit?!"

"Ready sir" replied Aji straightforwardly. Mahesh looked at Sam for a moment and then he hurried away.

"Boss. How long are you going to sleep like this? How about we exchange? I sleep and you stand for two days in my place!" Aji said as she spread her body against the chair on the side of Sam's bed.

Aji let out a long bell while enjoying her back which felt more relaxed while leaning, she started to feel sleepy. Indeed, during Sam's coma Aji less often sleep in a warm bed. He misses the atmosphere where he sleeps well.

"You're really looking to die with me!" suddenly, people were talking.

Aji jumped out of his chair in shock, staring at Sam. But just then Sam was still silent and closed, Aji turned his head around looking around. There was no one there except her and Sam.

"Well, there's no way Sam could be a ghost. Wait for. Is he still breathing?" Aji muttered as he approached Sam slowly.

"Aji wait for me to recover if I want to poke me, I haven't been able to fight now!" said Sam who immediately opened his eyes glanced at Aji sharply.

"Boss you're really conscious?" Aji looked at Sam closely.

"You think I'm pretending? It's ridiculous!"

With all his might Sam tried to get up and sit on top of his hospital bed. "Arrghhh... My body feels like weathered wood!" Sam grumbling.

"Of course, you slept for three months!" said Aji back in the chair.

"Three months??!."

"Yes three months! You owe me whiskey, because as long as I take care of you I can't enjoy life at all!" Aji bit the apple he took from the patient's table.

Sam was speechless, his face turning expressionless. "What's the boss?" Aji asked who realized that there was something Sam was thinking.

"As long as I don't realize, did he come to see me?" Sam asked, looking at me.

"Ep... You mean Miss Riyu?" Aji asked, although Sam did not reply but was seen from his expression. Aji stopped chewing, her blood rippling when asked about Ryu. How he explains everything, Aji is afraid that he will make Sam's emotions uncontrollable.

"He's..."

"Sam... Thank goodness you're sober" Nita came to say hello to cut Aji's words.

"How are you my son? Is it better now?"

"Yes well" Sam replied reluctantly without turning his head toward Nita, his stepmother.

"Ooh Sam's. You slept so long and... Lots of misses something important, including the fate of your sister-in-law" Nita said in a soft tone and a face that pretended to be anxious.

"You mean Ryu? What did you do to him!" Sam immediately angrily clutched tightly onto Nita's arm.

"Bos control yourself. Lady Nita, it's better to discuss this matter next time. Mr Sam just regained consciousness and needs a break!" Aji gave a warning.

"Tell me what happened to Ryu!" Sam shuddered staring. Nita throws Sam's hand from his arm.

"Well I'll tell you, Riyu fell into a coma after a few days of treatment. He had a blood clot that clogged up his brain nerves. But take it easy Sam, now Riyu has improved and is undergoing treatment in Singapore"

"Singapore?" Said Sam furrowing his two eyebrows.

"Yes. Singapore, but... I hope you don't have to waste your energy and mind on this matter because Noval is already taking care of it. Riyu's legitimate husband" Nita approaches Sam with a sharp look, she sees Sam's face that starts to break out in cold sweat.

Sam shook with both hands, his memory returning to the time when he saw Riyu being threatened by Noval. But when he tries to save Riyu, Sam falls into Noval's trap.

"Boss you..." Aji tried to melt the atmosphere.

"When can I get out of the hospital?"

"The next week's estimate, boss, you'll have to recover completely!"

"Prepare the schedule I want out tomorrow!"

Aji could only be silent, because even free to talk Sam would not listen to his advice. "I'll try the boss" said Aji.

"You can go"

Aji nodded once then stepped out of the room, before closing the door Aji turned to look at Sam who was looking chaotic.

The shadow as Riyu smiled was clearly emblazoned in front of her wishful thinking, however... The more he tried to reach Sam the further away from him.

*****

The next day, Mahesa heard Sam was going to be discharged from the hospital today. He himself disagrees because he fears Sam has not fully recovered, before that happens, early in the morning before Mahesa leaves for the office he rushes to see Sam in the hospital. But when Mahesa opened the main door.

"Mk..." Mahesa was surprised to see Sam standing at the door.

"Papa tell me. Where is Riyu being treated? Singapore's? what hospital?" suddenly Sam said. Sam's still pale face made Mahesa worried.

"Where did you get that kind of information!"

"Your beloved wife, who else?"

"Sam you're not supposed to be out of the hospital right now, you really haven't recovered yet!"

"Papa please tell me how Ryu is" said Sam Lirih. His feet began to tremble weakly as they had not yet been too strong to support his body. Sam collapses in front of Mahesa, but Mahesa quickly hugs him. "Dadji! Help me get Sam to the hospital!" mahesa panicked.

Aji immediately ran up to the two and helped Mahesa support Sam. "I'm not going to the hospital!" Sam protested, his forehead began to break out in cold sweat.

"Sam don't be stubborn!" mahesa Sentak.

"Aji, help me to the room" Aji immediately told Sam to step into his room slowly.

There were no more words Mahesa could say, Sam would never hear them. Mahesa sat down on the living room sofa, her eyes staring intently at the photo of her wife walled right across from Mahesa sitting.

"Lady..." Mahesa said withstanding growls.

Mahesa directs his car to the branch office run by his wife, deliberately he does not call first because Nita will certainly have many reasons when talking on the phone.

Nita was busy talking to a client in the VIP waiting room, surprised to see Mahesa standing looking at her coldly. With a pounding heart, Nita approached Mahesa hiding her anxiety through her smile.

"My husband... Eums... Tumben you coming? What's up?" Ask Nita in a soft tone.

"If you're done discussing, meet me in your room!" Mahesa turned around and left.

Nita crumpled her fingers, she knew what was on Mahesa's face was the anger she wanted to convey. Ten minutes later, after the client left Nita immediately met Mahesa in her room. With a slow pace Nita approached Mahesa and sat upright on the chair opposite Mahesa.

"What's pa?" Tanya Nita was a bit doubtful.

"Your age is no longer young, but why can't you guide yourself to be a good parent?" mahesa said.

"A... What do you mean?!"

"You know Sam is my only son, the rightful successor of the Mahesa family! I won't forgive myself if anything happens to her, but why do you easily ruin her emotions when she's healed!" Mahesa began to speak in a high tone.

"I... I'm just. Sam asks about Riyu, so am I wrong if I tell him!"

"If you want to tell Ryu what's going on, can't wait until Sam is completely healthy! You were Nita on purpose! Because you know Sam loves Ryu so much that you purposely destroy his feelings"

Nita was unable to answer, after a long time Nita saw Mahesa was really angry with her.

"Let's... I married you for taking Ranu's place in my life, though, You never played a good mother to Sam at all. Let's just say this is the last chance I give you!" Mahesa said, he immediately moved out of his chair and out of Nita's room.

Nita's chest felt a little tight to hear Mahesa's words, she clenched her hands holding in annoyance with a reddened face and a puddle of water in her eyes.
