My husband's a Cold Doctor

My husband's a Cold Doctor
In Salsa's room



I sat down on the bedside of my mother-in-law's patient, watching her lying weak, making me feel even more guilty.


Moreover, I made all these problems happen, if at first I believe in the words of Salsa maybe I have a happy smile on the bed with her enjoying the night.


But now it's different, destiny is opposite to my imagination, all just being wishful thinking in between my frustrations.


I hesitantly pulled out my phone, intending to contact my mother to know the condition of Salsa's mother.


📞" Hello mah!" I said on the phone.


📞" Mmk...Kevin's! Why are you calling this late! Don't you know it's time to sleep!!!" mama's roar with the typical raucous voice of a semi-conscious person.


📞"Mah..seems like I made a big mistake again!" I sound very clear


📞"What do you mean? Don't talk shit Vin. It's midnight! You sleep gih..later Salsa wake up when you hear the sound of our phone!"


📞"Salsa escaped again mah! And now I'm in the hospital because her mom passed out!" my answer.


📞"What!!!" peekik mama surprised.


📞"you wait for the hospital! Mama's gonna be there soon!" my mother said, ending our phone call immediately.


A few hours later, my mother came looking hasty, even her breath was cut off.


"W-what really happened Vin?" asked my mother to come up to me.


"Sorry mah! This time I hurt everyone!" I continued without explaining the details.


"Kevin! What are you talking about? Mama doesn't understand! Where is Salsa?" said mama still asked as she chuckled glanced at every corner of the room is rather large like a VIP room, equipped with TV, AC, and Toilet.


I was silent and didn't know what to answer! Even my tongue feels very bad.


"Where is Vin Salsa! Don't tell me you're doing anything again!" angry mom until her neck veins are visible.


"I'm sorry mah!" my reply is still down.


"Wait on! Pardon you? So you really hurt him again? Kevin's... Why do you always make Salsa hurt! You've been married for a few months, haven't you even had the slightest bit of affection for her?" say mama.


"It's not like that, mah! I was wrong, I trusted Clara too much to accuse Salsa!"


"Claras? That jal*ng woman? Why could it be because of him? Huh! Are you really blind, even your own mother even if only see his face alone must have been able to guess the contents of his brain! Then you... Ohh Kevin just kill your mama who gave birth to a stupid child like you!" moaning mama to sit on the floor while banging his chest.


"Stop mah!" I held back my mother's hands that were about to hit her chest again.


"Don't stop mama! You stupid boy! How can you hurt your favorite daughter-in-law mama hah! Why do you even believe in the woman jal*ng Vin...why?" mama hit my arm, vented her anger at me.


I closed my eyes, enduring the pain of my mother's slow punch on both sides of my arm.


"You must look for Salsa." tell mama to suddenly glare at me.


"Ba-good mah! I'll look for her again, then I go, mama can take care of her mother Salsa!" imbu


Patting mom's back.


"Go now!!! Don't beat around the bush anymore!" my mom shouted to throw me out.


I stood up, ran out of the room, without even looking, problems kept coming stacking up in my brain until it felt like it wanted to explode.


"Doctor Kevin.I happen to meet you here! There's a patient looking for you doc!" said a male nurse who had just come and greeted me in the hospital.


"I'm busy! There are many doctors in this hospital! Why is that patient just looking for me!!!" I was emotional the nurse came at an inopportune time, even as my head was throbbing from multiple directions.


"Go!!! don't look for me tonight or tomorrow!" flat answer.


"Well doc!" answer and leave immediately.


While I kept my eyes on the temple, I continued to walk down the hospital hallway to get to the car park so I could quickly find Salsa.


***


Along the way, I kept calling Salsa but her number was still off, I sent her a message but there was no reply, menchat WhatsAapnya but that appears only tick one and even that Salsa profile photo no longer exists.


Likely to block my number, I'm pretty sure of it, and then where should I look? the friends he used to talk about were all nobody I knew.


I am completely empty now, only this time I feel completely lost the direction of purpose.


Bug bugs...


Ahh Shit... With a burning anger, I beat the steering wheel and brake suddenly in the middle of the road.


Brakes...


Suddenly someone hit my car from the back, making my neck bone as if it hurt because of the shock.


Tok tok tok tok


"Woe why suddenly hah! out now!" someone tapped on the windshield next to me.


Holding my neck which hurts! I opened the car glass staring blankly at the person who was knocking.


"You have to take responsibility! my car dented because of you! damn thing*n can't drive!" sneer at the guy but I don't care.


I let out a long sigh, not wanting to argue with people, just took out my wallet and scraped the contents inside, took out a few hundred pieces of money and handed the money over to that person.


"What'sthis? not enough! my car dents it very much means the change of loss should be a lot too!" the man refused my hand.


"Aishh.." I quickly grabbed the man's collar and dragged his head into the car through the window.


"So you don't want to take it?" I said raise the next eyebrow.


"Sa-say wants to accept sir!" replied the man trembling in fear so I removed my hand from his collar.


The man then left, I was like a madman banging my forehead on the steering wheel.


Not only that, the wallet that I should have put back in my pocket now I throw in the back seat.


"Where are you Sal...Where should I find you?" I muttered asking myself.


***


Without thinking any longer, I restarted the car engine, driving at high speed towards the house.


Upon arrival at home, I felt what I felt when Salsa was not in this big house.


I even imagined him fighting my words again, giving me a scathing sneer, as well as a piercing rant.


This leg had involuntarily stepped far from the doorway and was now standing upright in front of the door of his room.


I went in and lay down on Salsa's bed while looking forward to enjoying the fun of lying on a soft mattress after tired of judging me for a full day.


My eyes looked at the ceiling again remembering Salsa, "Where are you Sal. What are you doing right now, I am in your room! I feel lonely in your room!" my mind is thinking about it.
