My Choice of Woman

Episode 27's

The sound of dawn has echoed all over the city. Farah woke up from her sleep. He felt very tired, because last night he had to overtime because someone rented Ilham's shop for a birthday party and Farah worked until the party was over.

Farah felt dizzy, but she had to carry out her duty of dawn prayer. After that Farah walked towards the kitchen. He wanted to drink a glass of water.

Ms. Tin found Farah very pale, looking exhausted.

“Nona Farah seems to be sick, pale as Miss Farah's face,” said Bu Tin when she saw Farah enter the kitchen.

“I'm fine Mrs Tin. Last night Ilham came home from Bu Tin?”

“No Miss, sir is not home yet.”

Farah smiled wryly. For three days her husband did not come home. Sepi forces Farah to feel it again. He should get ready to go to the store.

“Nona is right it's okay. Should Miss rest at home, because the face is not pale once.” Mrs Tin was worried about Farah's condition.

“I'm fine Ms. Tin. Already I have to prepare to the store.” Farah forced her smile.

Farah did not want to take leave, because two more days he had to accompany Rahma to check her content again and give her salary this month.

Farah works as usual in Ilham's shop. It's just that the longer Farah becomes unfocused, she often bumps into customers while carrying trays full of food. Or often mistakenly deliver orders to shop visitors.

Farah really felt very dizzy and painful in her body. Farah looked at the wall clock, still three hours away she could just go home. Farah felt today time was going very slowly.

Akmal realized that today Farah is very ‘kakau’ in her work already almost eight customers who nagged upset over her mistakes. And Akmal saw that Farah's face was pale.

“It looks like Farah should be sent home soon. Looks like he really is sick,” Akmal mutter.

Akmal returned Farah early, fearing anything would happen even more so if Farah was his boss' wife. It would be a problem if Farah got sick from working in this tavern.

Kinan walked towards the cafe where his father worked. After driving, he stopped by the cake shop to buy chocolate cake. Kinan saw his father who was tidying up the motorcycles of the cafe customers.

“Dad ...” call Kinan.

“Kinan, already home Nak?” ask Dad.

“Already Dad, today I want to meet with Farah. Kinan deliberately didn't tell Farah, let's surprise Yah.” Kinan's face looked very enthusiastic.

“Ya already, wait here. Farah will definitely be here.”

Kinan waited near the store precisely at the store's security post. He couldn't wait to give this chocolate cake to Farah as a token of gratitude.

***

Farah walked a little staggering. He felt dizzy and his body felt crumpled. Farah continued to persuade herself to be strong all the way home. He did not want to fall unconscious because it could trouble others.

Farah continued walking towards the exit of the tavern on the first floor. His sight began to blur. He kept forcing his body to walk. Right in the parking lot his body is no longer synchronized with Farah's wishes. He felt as good as seeing Kinan.

Brrukkkkim! Farah's body collapsed.

Darkened.

“Farah!” frantic Kinan shouted as Farah walked towards him and directly collapsed just like that.

Mr. Budi and the shop customers who saw the incident immediately crowded. Akmal, who received reports that one of his works had fainted in front of the tavern, immediately ran to the scene.

Akmal was surprised that the one who fainted was Farah. He immediately took Farah to the nearest hospital so that Farah immediately got help.

Akmal drove the shop car a little faster than usual. Kinan was holding Farah's head while in the car. Kinan tried to pat Farah on the cheek to quickly wake up. But his efforts are nil.

Arriving at Farah hospital immediately got treatment. He was given intravenous fluids that were punched in a vein in the back of his hand. Farah looked drowned and pale. Doctors said Farah had fainted from fatigue and anemia. Then the doctor suggested that Farah be treated intensively at this hospital. Akmal agreed.

From the ER, Farah is transferred to the VIP classroom treatment room in the Cempaka room. Farah was already conscious when she entered the ER, but she was very weak to be able to wake up. He can only be weak.

Kinan, who had been waiting for Farah, sat beside Farah, not shifting. Mr. Budi came with Mrs Tin. Akmal did tell Mr. Budi to pick up Mr. Tin Ilham's housekeeper to wait for Farah. Akmal is still trying to contact Ilham. Akmal has tried to contact Ilham seven times and sent several short messages to inform him that his wife is being treated in hospital.

On the eighth call from Akmal, Ilham answered the phone.

“Halo! What's up Akmal? I'm busy, can't call later!” ilham said as he answered Akmal's phone call. He is upset by a phone call from Akmal that slightly interferes with his work.

“Sorry sir can not, I want to tell you that Farah is now in the hospital Pak!” answer Akmal.

“What?! She why?” ask Ilham who was surprised at the news that Akmal said.

“Tadi mbak Farah passed out while about to go home from the store,” Akmal reply.

“Halo? Hello ...? Hello Mr Ilham?!” akmal's voice is heard from Ilham's phone.

Inspiration did not answer. Now his mind was only worried for Farah. He hung up the phone and got into the car. Inspiration rushed to the hospital. He was very worried about Farah. His mind was only on the girl.

“I beg you, do not happen anything bad to him Yes Allah,” his mummy when driving to the hospital where Farah was treated.

Mrs Tin went into Farah's room. In the room there were only two women. He did not know the sitting woman, but he knew the woman who was lying weakly on the bed.

“Nona ... Miss why it could be like this?” Mrs Tin who was crying saw Farah's condition.

“Who are you? And why can Miss Farah be like this? asked Bu Tin who looked at the woman sitting next to Farah.

“I Winanti, I am Farah Bu's friend. Just when Farah came out of the cafe, suddenly immediately fainted Mom,” Kinan replied politely.

Farah opened her heavy eyes, she saw Kinan sitting on her right and Tin sitting on her left. He heard the cry of Tin. Must be that Mrs Tin is worried about her.

“Kinan, Ms. Tin. I'm fine, don't worry,” said Farah weakly.

“If you are sick, you should not go to Farah's job. Better to rest at home. Now you're in the hospital. I was in a panic when you walked towards me and you fainted.” Kinan.

“Thank you for helping me Kinan,” said Farah, “Bu Tin, I want to go home. I am worried that Ilham is already at home.”

“Don't Miss. Miss here alone, Miss Farah is still sick. Maybe you don't come home tonight.” Mrs Tin's the one who prevented Farah from going home.

What's up!? Farah was sick like this still thinking of her husband who could never eat provisions from her. Even she had to work from morning to night at the cafe until it hurt like this but her husband rarely came home?! I really can't believe it! A good Farah like this is still a waste.

Inner Kinan spoke.

“Nona Farah rest only. Don't move much, let me take care of Miss Farah.” said Bu Tin.

Farah nodded she was very exhausted. His body still feels weak. Unconsciously he was asleep.

***

Inspiration to get to the hospital. Akmal had told Ilham in a short message where the hospital was and what room Farah was in. Ilham walked a little faster looking for the Cempaka Room.

Ilham had found Farah's room was seen there Akmal and Pak Budi the regional security guard was sitting outside the room. Akmal knows the coming of Ilham.

“How is Farah's condition?” tanya Ilham, she breathed a little hard.

“So Mr. Ilham's wife passed out, I immediately brought it here and it has been handled by a doctor. Doctor said Farah was exhausted and anemic,” replied Akmal.

“What? mr Ilham's wife? So Mr Ilham is her husband Farah?” ask Pak Budi who listened to the conversation between Akmal and Ilham.

Inspiration does not answer questions from Mr. Budi. He went straight into the VIP room that Farah occupied alone. There are two women who look after Farah, namely Ms. Tin and the other woman, Ilham is very familiar with her face, but Ilham is still trying to remember her.

“Master, Miss Farah ..” Ms. Tin did not continue her sentence. He sobbed.

“Iya I already know,” Ilham replied flatly.

Inspiration is still fixated in its position not to shift in the slightest. He still could not believe that the woman who sometimes messed up his life was suffocated, helpless and her hands were fitted with an infusion tube.

Mister? That must be Farah's husband. And he's still quiet! His face did not raise any concern at all for his wife! Farah worked from morning to night. Kinan grumbled in his heart. He hated his best friend's husband.

The attitude of Ilham who was silent without feeling guilty made Kinan even more angry. I wanted to curse the man in front of him.

Kinan stood up, staring at Ilham with a water full of hatred.

“Your wife is sick, aren't you just a little worried? Your wife works from morning to night, just for your little family! Don't you have any pity for him!” bentak Kinan was angry at Ilham.

Hearing a loud noise from Kinan, Akmal and Pak Budi who had previously waited outside the room, finally entered into Farah's room.

“What kind of husband are you?! Every day your wife always brings you lunch, but you never eat! If I'm to be honest you don't deserve a wife as good and sincere as Farah!” kinan.

Farah woke up feeling disturbed. She saw Kinan scolding her husband.

Ilham had just realized that the woman who scolded him was Kinanti, a good friend of Farah and the eldest son of Budi's regional security guard.

Why is this girl scolding me?! What did he say just now? WHAT KIND OF HUSBAND AM I!

Inspiration to hear the insults, he could still be patient as Kinan scolded him.

“Kinan already, enough already. I beg you not to be like that to my husband,” said Farah weakly hurt the quarrel of Ilham and Kinan. Farah knew that Kinan had high solidarity. He doesn't want his best friend to be hurt.

Kinan stopped his clasping of Inspiration. He was crying, the corner of his eyes were wet, “You are very inappropriate for a woman as good as Farah,” said Kinan who now had a tone that was not as angry as earlier.

“Pak Budi, please take your daughter home now,” Akmal command saw this incident.

“Iya Pak Akmal I'm sorry because my daughter has been presumptuous to say like this with Mr. Ilham,” replied Mr. Budi and then pulled Kinan's hand to leave the place.

“Once again I apologize Mr. Ilham. Please forgive the sassness of my daughter,” continued Mr. Budi then left the place while forcibly pulling Kinan's hand.

Inspiration is still ringing the words of Kinan. He called Ilham inappropriate for Farah. That word is very piercing for Inspiration. He was down like he was aware of something.

“Mas I beg you forgive Kinan,” said Farah who was now crying.

“We just go home Yes Mas, I'm outpatient.”

“Don't Miss! Miss Farah is still sick,” scolds Bu Tin.

“No Bu Tin, I can still walk, I am still strong. I want to go home and I'm outpatient. Brother Akmal, please call a doctor to take care of my return,” said Farah.

Akmal looked at Ilham, did he have to obey Farah's request? As soon as Akmal's eyes spoke. Inspiration replied with a small nod.

Arriving at home, Budi was very disappointed with the behavior of his eldest daughter.

“Pinance! Dad never taught you to yell at others,” Dad said with great disappointment.

“The man who became Farah's husband indeed deserves to be treated like that Well! He was not the least bit worried about Farah's condition!” reply Kinan.

“You know? Farah worked at the cafe as a substitute. And Mr. Ilham husband mbak Farah the owner of the cafe where Dad works!”

Kinan was shocked by what his father had said. He just found out about it.

“Dad does not know, what if Mr. Ilham fired Dad because of the behavior of Daddy's daughter is very sassy.”

“Sorry Dad, Kinan really doesn't know. Kinan regrets.” Kinan is now sobbing.

“Tomorrow, you must apologize to Mr. Ilham, so that Mr. Ilham is still kind enough to let Dad work in his cafe.”

Kinan did not answer. He just nodded.
