Marriage Line Husband

Part 24: The painful reality

Two days passed, and on this day Fariz and Liza would return to the city of Bandung.

Liza looks busy packing her things. The woman's face was sparkling and excited to put all her clothes in the suitcase. If he used to be heavy leaving his hometown, now he is so impatient to return to the city of flowers.

It is more comfortable to live in the city. The reason is simple, he is not comfortable and less free if you have to live in one house with his in-laws, especially the dislike attitude of Umi Fardah is clearly shown to him.

"It's over?"

Fariz's hoarse and wet voice made Liza turn her head. The woman's smile expanded, She stepped closer to her husband who was now standing in the doorway.

"When do we leave soon?" asked Liza while hugging her husband. The smile never faded from the woman's lips.

"Wait a minute, the car that Mas rented to drive us to the city has not come yet" Fariz replied. He rubbed the head of Liza covered in a wide hijab.

"When you wait, try to check again what items you haven't brought. Umi also prepared cookies and some snacks for us to bring to the city."

Liza scrunched her forehead. Just this time her in-laws noticed about the food to be brought. Ah, she forgot if something that Umi Fardah gave or the goods given were certainly for her husband. Fariz was his favorite son-in-law.

"Why, hmm?" Fariz kissed the corner of Liza's lips that instantly disperse her daydream.

Her husband really likes to give a kiss when he is daydreaming.

"It's okay. I just want to get home soon. Our rented house must be so dirty."

"And Mas won't let you clean it" Fariz continued, wrapping his hand around his wife's waist.

"Say I have to move a lot."

"Don't listen too much to Umi's words if it harms your content. I don't want my son to do anything."

Liza was stunned. The look on her face instantly changed and it made Fariz pull one eyebrow with a look of astonishment.

"What is wrong with you?"

Liza shook her head."No. gabe. Ah, I forgot to put the blanket in the suitcase."

The woman let go of Fariz's two hands that were coiled around her waist. She doesn't want to talk too much about her pregnancy.

"You two be careful there. Especially you, Liza." Umi Fardah looked at her daughter-in-law."You're pregnant, so take care of your contents as best you can. You could have miscarried like you did yesterday."

The words of Umi Fardah were quite piercing although it sounded soft when it entered into Liza's ear. If there were no parents of course Umi Fardah would not be able to maintain this attitude.

"Mother has prepared food for you two. Pregnant women are usually hungry." Syarifah gave a chocolate papper bag containing his homemade food.

Liza smiled widely, only the mother was the most sincere of all her attention. Very far with his in-laws who always throw innuendo and always look for his mistakes.

Now, Liza has been sitting sweet in the back car seat followed by Fariz who just put the suitcase into the trunk of the car.

Sharifah waved her hand as the car carrying her daughter began to move away from her eyes. Tears could not bear the middle-aged woman. He prayed that God would always look after his daughter and daughter-in-law. Umi Fardah decided to go back into the house.

Abah Hasan stared at the passing of his wife. He breathed heavily. After Fariz married, his wife seemed to change from her attitude and from her behavior.

"Hopefully Liza and Fariz are always fine there" Asty turned to Hasan.

"Sleep" Fariz said, confirming Liza's veil had almost slipped off.

"I'm not sleepy. I want to enjoy this journey" Liza replied without taking her eyes off the buildings that passed.

"I'm sorry for your attitude. Mas knows you're hurt by what I said and Mas can't refute and act decisively to Mas's own parents."

Liza instantly straightened her body and looked at her husband with a cheering look.

"I was hurt by Umi's words, but how else. My former status will continue to be a problem and is considered one-eyed. Perhaps from the point of view of some, a widow does not deserve to be with a single man. And a widow is never free from the prejudices and bad speech of the people. And I understand that."

Fariz was getting guilty hearing that.

Liza tied the two thin ropes until her veil was tighter and tighter on her face. After her husband went to work, Liza got ready to go to the hospital immediately.

The woman seemed to be in a hurry to lock the door. She smiled faintly as she passed by the rented neighbors who already knew her as Fariz's wife.

Liza heaved a heavy sigh with a feeling of unease when she had set foot in the hospital area. Many people were seen going in and out of the hospital not far from his home. With confidence he stepped inside.

Before checking himself to the obstetrician, he had to register and take the queue number first because so many women want to check the content or just a consultation.

"In the name of Khaliza!"

The loud voice of a nun made Liza straighten her body. He got up from his seat and stepped closer to the nurse who put on his friendly face.

"Please enter" said the nurse. Liza immediately went inside. The smell of drugs directly penetrated into the sense of smell of Liza who seemed to dislike the smells that made her head dizzy.

"Please sit down, Mom." A female doctor welcomed Liza's friendly arrival.

"Do you want to check the content or just a consultation?"

"I want to check my content and..." Liza paused her speech for a moment." And check my condition that some days always feel pain in the stomach and waist."

The female doctor with Indri's name tag frowned.

"Have you or do you often have blood coming out of your sensitive area?" ask the doctor and immediately embraced Liza.

The female doctor was silent.

"Then let me check." The doctor got up from his seat and was followed by Liza.

The woman was lying in a gurney according to instructions by Indri's doctor. After going through a series of examinations, Liza now sits back in her chair and waits for the results of the doctors who examined her. He hopes everything is okay. And this is the first time he alone checked the contents without a husband who accompanied.

"How is my condition?" Liza immediately asked the Indri doctor who stared at the sheet of paper in her hand and not long before the female doctor sighed softly.

"I'm sorry before, but it looks like you're gonna have to abort your stuff."

Liza blinked her eyes hearing what Doctor Indri said.
