My madam, my poison

(Forced) Survive

"Are you okay, you're going home in a taxi?" ask Fabian to Mila when it's late.

"Bring the car. Why do I have to take a taxi?" mila protest.

"I have to keep Zura here" Fabian said.

I could see the look on Mila's face suddenly turning sour.

"Already, Mas. No need to wait. There will be doctors and nurses. If need be anything Ms. Zura could ask for their help."

"Where could I possibly leave him alone here?"

"Remember, Mas. Lyra is now in someone else's hands. Ms. Pure is not your brother or relative. What if Lyra's all right? Pure Ma'am doesn't have any children yet. She must have been clueless about how to babysit."

"Although not a brother or relative, I know very well who Pure Ma'am is. He is a good and loving person. I'm sure Lyra's safe with him," I said.

"Lantas, what about mom? Who's taking care of mom?" 

"Of course you have to take care of your mother. Show him you deserve to be his son-in-law" I said.

That sour face now turned irritated. Without even talking I understand that Mila objected to having to take care of mom.

"Ehm, Mum. Sorry I forgot. Tonight I have to attend an important event at my neighbor's house."

"So you didn't say there was an event tonight" Fabian said.

"I'm sorry, I forgot."

"Are you okay staying? I have to take care of my mother at home."

I had to shake my head. It's okay if Fabian comes home, my mother-in-law needs him more now.

"Well, we go home now. Mas anterin I go home first yes," woo Mila while struggling spoiled on the shoulders of Fabian mas. I turned my face away. Really, I don't like it when they show off the romance in front of me.

"Mas go home first. Later mas told the nurse to come to this room often," said Fabian.

"Bought some milk for Lyra, too. I'm now forced to give her formula."

"Troubt it."

Even though it was slow, I could hear that remark.

"What did you say? I'm troublesome?"

"Ehm. ti-ti-no," he argued.

"Why should you be angry? Ma'am is troublesome. Wear all the pain." Mila again chimed in on our chat.

"Who do you think would be sick? If I'm okay, I'll make sure I leave the house."

"But what is it? You still need Fabian's mas because you can't afford the hospital's maintenance costs."

"Well, when are you going to argue? I have to go home to take care of my mother and Lyra" Fabian said.

"Well, we go home now."

Mila glanced cynically at me before wrapping her left hand around Fabian's waist. Both of them left my treatment room.

At 18:00

"Good night, Mother ..Azzu... Zura?"

The nurse who had just entered my treatment room looked shocked when she saw me.

"Good night, Sister."

"You're Zura, right?" tanyakanya.

Who is this beautiful nurse? How could he recognize me?

"Really, Sister. My name is Azzura. Does Sister know me?"

"I'm Mayra. Your first classmate."

I thought for a moment. All my life I've known only one name Mayra. He was my classmate in High School. Is the nurse standing in front of you now Mayra my old friend?

I looked at the nurse's face. The little mole that was right in the middle of the chin was only Mayra's owner.

"Thank you, good news."

"Thank God."

"The man who came out of this room was your husband?" mayra asked as she placed a tray with dinner menu for me on the table.

"Yes, May."

"Why did he leave you alone in this hospital?"

"Mas Fabian has to go home. There was my mother-in-law who was sick, and our daughter who was only two months old" I explained.

"Lantas, who's the girl with your husband? How are they so friendly? I'm ashamed to make out in public."

What am I supposed to tell Mayra? Do I have to tell the truth? Or do I have to cover up the ulcers in my household?

"Why are you quiet, Ra? Did my words offend you?" 

"Ti-ti-no, May. I was silent because my head was suddenly dizzy. That woman was my sister-in-law. Her name is Mila."

"Oh, your husband's sister anyway. I thought she was your husband's young wife." Mayra chuckles.

I responded to that remark with a wry smile on the lips.

"You're married, May?" I deliberately diverted the conversation.

"Have you ever."

"You mean?"

"I've been married, but I failed."

My ex-husband and I divorced at the age of five."

"I'm sorry May, I don't know."

"It's okay, Ra. He's the one who's suing for divorce because I never gave him any offspring."

"Deg!"

It was like a hard slap for me. Mayra was divorced by her husband because she was never pregnant. However, when God presented Lyra in our lives, our household is now facing a severe test.

"What's wrong with you, Ra?" ask Mayra.

I quickly wiped my tears before I could drip.

"It's okay, May. I am just sorry for your fate. Your husband shouldn't be suing for divorce just because God hasn't given you any children. I was pregnant when my marriage entered its tenth year."

"Maybe you're more fortunate. Having a loving and patient husband" Mayra said.

Any luck? If Mayra knew. Right now I feel sorry for marrying Fabian.

"Take your dinner, Ra. The medicine is taken too. I still have to deliver dinner to the other patients. Next time we continue to talk" said Mayra. 

I nodded my head, and I smiled.

Mayra left my treatment room.

I had just finished my dinner when suddenly my phone rang short. I quickly grabbed my phone from the table and opened the conversation app.

[Pure Bu]

[Assynoltomodel. Sorry, Ma'am. I heard Kinanti's mother crying in pain. I couldn't get in because the door was locked]

Athaghfirullah! What else is this? Where is Fabian's mom? Why did Pure Ma send such a message? Your hair, Mas.
