My Bow to the Destiny of Love

Here's what it feels like

Alesha held back a smile seeing her best friend and sister-in-law grimacing with pain. "It hurts a lot, Ayra?"

"You really think I'm acting from earlier?" Chayra melengos, reaching for the medicine that Alesha brought.

"Want to take medicine without a prescription from the doctor, Ayra? Really desperate, you know. If Mas Zidane knew, I would have been affected as well."

"Ssttt. I'm not strong, Sha. That's why you shouldn't say the same to Zidane. If I don't take medicine, I think I'll be cold tonight. If I get sick, I won't be able to attend. This is p****** I've been dating too."

Alesha gave a rough breath. "Lho is obliged to attend, Ayra. Where there is a mother who is not present at the birthday celebration of her own child. Moreover, family members from Pesantren have arrived. They're even looking for our whereabouts."

"What time?!"

"Yes, they even asked me to get there. But, I said I'd pick you up first."

"I'll be there, but I'm gonna take a little nap, Sha. The medicine must be taken to sleep to work properly."

"Hmm, that's the reason." Alesha got up while stretching her muscles. "There is no food? I'm hungry, I didn't have time to eat."

"There's in the fridge. Bread and chocolate are in the fridge. Just, if you want biscuits, it's in a jar stored at the dinner table."

"Ok. I want to hunt for food at home. Let's see if the wife of a General Manager has nutritious food stock or not."

"Pocket go there, Sha. Don't say anything weird, you'll be treated by someone."

"Hahaha... say if you are worried about being bullied because p******* you are suing. Weeekk..." Alesha passed after being satisfied to see Chayra's annoyed look. The mother-of-one looks very happy to disturb Chayra.

Chayra's phone rang right after Alesha closed her room door. Ardian's name is on his phone screen.

"What's up, honey? I just finished a meeting. Sorry the phone's in silent so as not to interrupt the meeting."

"That's okay, Mom. I was going to ask you for help. This hurts a lot, Mas, because the ASI is not sucked. I'm overwhelmed by doing anything."

"You don't worry. I've been googling. That won't last long. One week at the most."

Chayra was silent to her husband's words. Why didn't she think of doing what her husband did.

"Compress only use warm water, so that the pain is reduced."

Chayra jerks. Guilt began to haunt him. Why he should be desperate to take medicine before finding out other ways that are more natural. "Mm.. sorry, Mom. A. I.." His mouth felt stiff to say what he had done.

"Why..." Ardian fixed his sitting position because he heard Chayra's stammering voice.

"I. I just took pain medication. Sorry, Mas. I'm not strong because the pain makes me uncomfortable." Chayra clasped her fingers. Already several times he got reprimanded because it is often careless with his own health.

Ardian did not answer. It made Chayra bite her lower lip. Usually her husband does not agree with what he does if he does not answer directly. "M.. Mas. sorry.."

There was a heavy sigh from Ardian. "You're too careless, Chay. I've told you several times, don't like taking drugs carelessly without a prescription from the Doctor. If you have allergies. It's a danger, honey."

"M. sorry, Mas. That's why I called you. But you don't answer."

"So who bought you the medicine?"

"Oncea.."

"It's downstairs."

"I want to talk to him." Ardian's words sounding resolute made Chayra a little scared.

"J. Don't blame him, Mas. I'm asking him to help." Chayra's voice trembled slightly. Her tears were about to fall hearing her husband's tone of voice rising by an octave.

"I won't blame him, Chay. I just wanted to ask you something."

Chayra finally got up. There is no intention to argue because it does not want this problem to be long. He inched down from the bed to look for Alesha below.

Alesha was shocked when she saw Chayra coming towards her. "Eh, why did you come down, Ayra? Didn't you just say you were going to sleep for a while?"

"Here, Mas Ardian wants to talk to you." Chayra put the phone on the table.

Alesha forcibly swallowed the brownies in her mouth. Why would her friend's husband talk if he didn't feel wrong.

Chayra brought her mouth closer to Alesha's ear. "Don't say anything to Mas Ardian, Sha. Just tell me I asked to buy pain medication. I just deliver it, then go down to find food. You don't say anything." Chayra shuffled her head after whispering.

Alesha furrowed her brows while looking at Chayra with a confused look. He took the phone that Chayra had placed earlier. He walked away from Chayra when he heard the command from sebrang.

About ten minutes passed, Alesha again walked over. "We're leaving right now, Ayra. If you want to rest, then you will sleep as much as possible at Mother's house. My son cried, Tina said. Or you can sleep in the car. That drives me, you can sit in the back or sleep is also okay."

Chayra just nodded. She was actually curious about what Alesha was talking about with her husband. But, to ask seems like the time is not right. He eventually climbed back into his room to change his clothes and take his bag. While Chayra prepares, Alesha again contacts Tina to ask her to calm her child before she reaches Bu Santi's house.

"You just sleep. Don't come out even if the others are still gathering. Adzra must be fussy when he sees you." Ardian covered his wife's body. When he saw the look of his wife, there was a sense of pity for scolding her this afternoon. But, if not scolded, Chayra will recklessly repeat the mistake.

After his son's birthday party, Chayra resigned because his physique could not be compromised. His body was limp and his body temperature also rose.

Ardian sat on the side of the bed. He just looked at his wife with a concerned look. His wife who used to greet him with a smile of happiness was now lying weak. Chayra squirms while changing her sleeping position. "But I'm tired of it taking care of Adzra, Mas."

Ardian was still staring at Chayra. "Now Adzra is with Bian, Chay. I gave him candy to distract him."

"I miss Adzra, Mas. He was not given permission to get close to him. In fact, I just want to kiss him, want to say barakallahu fii umrik only. But I was expelled."

"Tomorrow you can meet him." Ardian fingered his wife's forehead. "You have a fever, honey. We go to the doctor.."

Chayra immediately shook her head. "This is the effect because the ASI is not aspirated, Mas. You said yourself, that this will last a week at most. He said he was googling, but now he's worried."

"I can't wait to see you like this. Sorry I was mad at you this afternoon." Ardian held his wife's hand.

Chayra smiled weakly. "It's okay, Mom. I really should be called. If left alone I'll get more sloppy."

"Let's take me to the doctor, let you give me the right medicine."

"I'm okay, Mom. I'm just gonna go to bed. God willing, when you wake up you will be better." Chayra curled up under the blanket and closed her eyes. It made Ardian even more sorry. He knew it wasn't just his wife who was going through something like this. All women who are mothers, who give ASI will experience something like this.

When he came home from work, he had given a look of annoyance at Chayra because of her mistake last afternoon. But, when Chayra kisses her hand, she accidentally nudges the d*d*chayra. It made Chayra scream because she was sick. Ardian scratched his head in confusion. He even re-touched d*d*Chayra. Sensing something unusual, Ardian glared at his shocked eyes. His wife was complaining of pain. It turns out that p*****it feels like a rock when she touches it.
