Marrying the Father of My Foster Son

Honesty Andri

The day after Ghani's arrival to the hospital, Andri experienced many changes in attitude. What was cheerful, turned moody. What had been a lot of talk became more quiet and it made both parents wonder, what made their son change drastically in just one day. Not only that, Andri also looks like a restless person, observing the situation around as if he was being watched by someone.

"Ndri, what's wrong with you? Mama noticed since yesterday morning your attitude changed 180°. Is there something you're thinking about? Same story mom, who knows you can help." Ms. Tania stroked Andri's head which was still bandaged. He treated Andri like a child.

Andri looked straight ahead with blank eyes. Still dare not tell the incident yesterday morning to his mother and father.

"I'm okay, just tired and need a break. Mama, can I stay alone? I was not being bothered by anyone," Andri pinta without looking at Bu Tania, suddenly made the middle-aged woman sitting next to him widen both eyes.

"Why should my mom get out of this room? If you want to go to sleep, you just sleep, you won't bother you to rest." Ms. Tania strongly refused the prince's request. It's nothing, he just doesn't want to leave Andri alone when his son is in trouble. What if Andri needs something while no one can help him.

Exhaling rough breaths. Very tired if you have to argue with his mother because Andri knows that Tania ma'am will never be defeated.

"Whatever. Mama wants to stay here please. But remember, never bother me. Point!" Then Andri closed his eyes, trying to rest his body and mind that felt tired.

Since last night Andri did not sleep well, always imagined the cruel face of Ghani and a syringe placed on his neck. Just this time meet a madman who is willing to eliminate someone's life using high doses of poison to avenge a loved one.

Exactly at eight in the morning, the time for doctors and nurses to go around, check the patient's condition and provide further treatment to patients for their recovery.

"Good morning." Doctor Haikal's heavy voice interrupted Tania's conversation with her beloved husband. Because today is Sunday so Mr. Hardi can accompany his wife in the hospital, looking after their son who is still lying weak.

"Good morning, Doctor Haikal. Come on, please come in." Ms. Tania and Mr. Hardi warmly welcomed Doctor Haikal, the man in charge of caring for their son.

After a brief stale, Haikal's doctor immediately performed his duty well. Checking Andri's condition, asking what his special patient felt while the examination of vital signs was left entirely to the nurse.

"Alhamdulillah, the patient's condition has improved from before. Just wait for the results of the MRI and CT scan. If there is no problem, the patient can leave the hospital within the next two to three days."

"The drugs that were yesterday, still have to be taken and there will be additional injectable drugs mixed with intravenous fluids" Haikal explained.

Ms. Tania and Mr. Hardi listened carefully to Haikal's explanation, but not Andri. The man was pensive, thinking of something that was troubling his mind.

The daydream came to a halt when a nurse removed a syringe from a long, stainless steel basin, then open the lid and flick the tip of the needle with the aim of preventing any air bubbles from entering when administering the drug.

"What do you want to do to me? Get that syringe away from me!" andri bentak. The man was scared to death to see a small object with a taper end pointed at him.

The sound of Andri's shout successfully made his parents walk closer to the patient's gurney.

"Ndri, what's wrong? Why are you screaming like that, son?" Ms. Tania tried to calm her frightened child. Pias's face with a roar of fast hunting breath.

"Ngawur you! Where anyone wants to kill you. There, the nurse wants to inject the medicine through an infusion tube." Mr. Hardi spoke up. How could Andri think if medics in nurse uniforms were about to kill his patients. Just-there's.

The right hand that was not exposed to the infusion needle was raised in the air. He pointed towards the female nurse who was fixated on the spot.

"He's the one who's gonna kill me, Pa. He was told by someone to take my life. Get rid of him before the poison runs all over my body!" andri gusar. Why Mr. Hardi doesn't believe it.

Feeling himself cornered, the nurse said, "I'm just doing the job that Doctor Haikal gave me, Sir, there's no intention of taking your life away. In this injection contains drugs with doses as recommended by the doctor. If you don't believe me, you can check it out yourself." The nurse thrust a small empty ampoule in front of Ms. Tania and Mr. Hardi.

"It could be that the medicine had been exchanged first before coming here. He's a sneaky, Pa, Ma. Anyway Andri don't want to know, get him out of this room right now! Dismiss him!"

"Sir police, please! Get this nurse out of the room. He's gonna kill me!" andri shouted to two police officers. Two well-built men entered the room after hearing the commotion from the treatment room. However, Mr. Hardi quickly handle the small problem that occurred there so that the police returned to their original place.

Meanwhile, the nurse in white uniform rushed to tidy up all the tools and put an injection of medicine into the stainless steel meatball and then left the room because his presence there actually caused problems. He did not want Andri's condition to worsen. Therefore, choose to give up for the common good.

"Andri, your attitude is outrageous. It can accuse people who are not. Is it because the contents of your head shift when hit by a hard object during a robbery? Huh yeah?" mr. Hardi said after the door of the room was tightly closed. Her chest of fireworks stifled anger.

"Papa, don't get mad at Andri. He just woke up, how about another coma? Mama does not want my favorite child to be harmed because of you," said Bu Tania, trying to defend Andri.

Mr. Hardi clucked. His heart was upset that Tania always defended her son.

Ms. Tania smiled sweetly with a loving look at her son. Yes, he loved Andri so much with all his soul and body.

"Dear, what's wrong with you? Come on, tell me honestly what made you this way. Do you have a problem you can't tell us both?" bu Tania said as she patted her child's shoulder gently, trying to calm the restless soul.

Unable to survive in the shadow of Ghani, Andri finally chose to share his problems with the mother. This is a great opportunity to speak truthfully to Ms. Tania and Mr. Hardi. Who knows, the fear in him is diminishing.

Andri stared one by one at the faces of his father and mother. Then take a deep, long breath.

"Ma, Pa, I'm sorry. I'm guilty of all of you. All this time I've lied a lot Mama and Papa." Andri started telling stories. "And in this case, I'm guilty. I deliberately pushed the victim to the ground because she was trying to stop me from taking my ex-boyfriend away."

"At that time, I was shrouded in a fog of passion to the point of not being able to think clearly. I removed the barrier in front of me for the sake of my wish. Desire to take away the chastity of a woman who was once my beloved."
