Marriage Line Husband

Part 25: Difficult choices

"Where are you going?" anton asked as Fariz got up from his seat.

"I have to go home soon" Fariz replied, glancing at the watch that was coiled around his wrist.

"It's not too late, Riz. You better stay here. We haven't been together like this for a long time." Anton persuades his best friend to stay in the cafe.

Fariz shook his head."I can't, next time we get together. I'm afraid anything's happened to my wife."

"You're not as fun as you used to be after marriage, Riz. Besides your wife's staying home isn't going anywhere so what's the worry for."

"Already, Ton. We will gather later. Assalamu'alaikum...."

"Goddessalam..." Anton stared at Fariz's departure until the man's wide back disappeared from behind the closed cafe door.

The man wearing the checkered black-and-white shirt let out a rough sigh. His best friend Fariz spent more time at home. Usually the man always spends time gathering at cafes or certain places.

Fariz narrowed his eyes as he caught a silhouette like his wife, Liza who was standing on the sidewalk waiting for someone. The man stepped forward his motorcycle to get closer to a figure that was very similar to Liza.

"Liza..."

Liza looked surprised when Fariz was already nearby. The man turned off his motorcycle engine and got off the two-wheeler.

"Why are you here? Who let you out?" There was clearly a look of anger and worry from Fariz's face.

Liza looked up at her husband and squeezed the bag she was holding now with mixed feelings. Wanting to hug Fariz's body and cry as hard as it could, vented all the chest-stifling sadness at this moment.

"I'm sorry I left without permission," Liza lowered her head feeling guilty."I just wanted to check my contents," Liza's great-grandson without daring to look at her husband's face.

Fariz's initially stiffened face now looked loosened and looked gently at the wife.

Liza flinched as she felt a gentle swipe on her head. Fariz slightly lowered her head, aligning her height with Liza who was only as tall as her chest.

"Next time don't go alone, Mas worried you why-why. Do not repeat again, next time if you want to go anywhere must be with Mas."

Liza nodded with a faint smile from behind her thin veil.

"How's our son doing?" asked Fariz glanced at Liza's stomach.

"Thank God, he's fine, Mom."

Fariz mangosteen responded to his wife's words.

"Then let's go home." Fariz put a helmet on Liza. He deliberately brought one more helmet in his motorcycle seat.

"I want to eat satay" said Liza expressing her wish.

"Yes, whatever my wife asks will come true" Fariz replied after kissing Liza's forehead.

A blushing smile was created on Liza's sweet lips hearing her husband's words.

After spending time alone with her husband this afternoon, Liza is in the room and Fariz is in the bathroom. Liza looked towards the bathroom where the sound of water rustling sounded and of course Fariz was still with the bathing ritual.

The woman took out a piece of paper from her bag. This is the result of the examination given by the doctor. It hurt so much to go back to reading every stanza in the paper stating that he had hurt stage one cervical cancer.

Why did the exam not stop crashing at her who had just risen and fought back. Liza took a deep breath with pain squeezing her chest.

"You take it easy, Umma won't abort you. Umma will fight until you are born into the world." lirih Liza as she rubbed her stomach.

"If you're clingy about maintaining the fetus, then I don't guarantee you'll be safe during childbirth."

Indri's words were still ringing in Liza's ears like a broken cassette. If love is deeply embedded in the chest, anything will be done for the sake of the beloved.

"What's this?"

Liza was shocked when someone snatched the paper she was holding right now. His eyes were perfectly rounded after turning around and found Fariz reading the contents of the paper seriously.

"What does this mean, Liza? You have cancer?" Fariz's face seemed to be in disbelief at what he saw and read.

Silent.

There was not a word out from Liza's thin lips, only tears were seeping down her cheeks. Her lips were too stiff to answer her husband.

"Let me keep this foetus and devote myself to you until death comes to fetch."

"What do you mean, Liza!" Fariz clasped both shoulders of Liza trying to strengthen herself.

"I just want to be the perfect woman and give birth to a child for you, Mom." The sobs could no longer bear the woman anymore.

Liza immediately hugged her husband's body and cried hysterically. Fariz did not understand what his wife was talking about.

Two hours passed and Liza fell asleep in her husband's arms after crying almost noiselessly. Both of the women's eyes swelled because they cried for too long.

Fariz hand faithfully rubbed Liza's back. Now he understood and understood all the explanations of Liza even though his wife explained while crying sobbing.

Sad, the first thing Fariz felt. He presented two very difficult choices He was certainly the answer.
