My madam, my poison

Unexpected

"I shouldn't talk to Azzura that way. That means Mas blames fate" said Fatimah.

"You don't know about my family. So you have no right to comment anything, * Darren said.

"We are husband and wife. How could Mas say I have no right to know about the Mas family" protested Fatimah.

"You better go home than make a noise in this room" Darren said.

"I came here to see Anisa, not to make a scene."

"The fact that your arrival has us arguing in this room."

"Sorry, Fatimah. Looks like I should go home now. Your husband does not want my presence" I said.

"Don't go, Ra. I still want to tell you a lot." Fatimah grabbed my hand and held it. 

"Maybe it's not time now" I said. I then looked at the face of Anisa who was sound asleep in her arms.

"Good, yeah, honey. Don't be fussy and don't make your mother a fuss" I whispered as I gently kissed Anisa's forehead.

Once again Fatimah took my hand. I know he'd mind if I left. 

"God willing we will meet again" I said.

Slowly Fatimah let go of my hand from her grasp.

"One message for Darren's brother. Never hate Anisa. However, he is a trust from God that must be taken care of as well as possible. Assalamu'alaikum." I also left the room.

I stopped my steps as I crossed a treatment room. It was in this room that my mother-in-law was taken care of. How is he doing now? Is he conscious? Or is it? Nah! I can't think badly of my mother.

I slowly moved my foot into the room. I just turned the doorknob and I was about to push, at the same time someone came out of there. I thought it was Fabian or Karmila. But it turns out not both. I was quite shocked when I saw that foreign face.

"Whose mom?" tanyakanya.

"I'm sorry, I wanted to see my mom. You who?" I asked the girl who was a teenager that year.

"It looks like the wrong room. The patient in this room is my father. My father started getting treated this morning" he said.

If the patient in the room is not the mother, where is the mother? What happened to him? Don't-don't…

Suddenly a bad thought flashed through my head.

"Summer, …"

I looked over as someone slapped my shoulder slowly. Khumayra.

"What are you doing here, Ra?" tanyakanya.

"I have visited my brother who has just given birth" I replied as I pointed my index finger at Fatimah's nursery. 

"Lantas, what are you doing in front of this room?"

"I-i, …"

"You must want to see your mother-in-law."

"D-c-yes. I want to know about Mom's situation. But, the patient in this room is not a mother. Was he transferred to another room?"

"No, Ra. Your mother-in-law wasn't moved to any room."

"Lantas, where's mom? Has he been, …" 

I didn't continue my words. Just thinking about it has frightened me so much. What if mom really…

Mayra smile.

"You don't have to be that hot, Ra. Your mother-in-law is fine. He's been conscious of his coma and has left the hospital."

"You're not kidding, are you, May? My mother-in-law is completely conscious of the coma?" askaku with passion.

"Yes, Ra. Your mother-in-law has been brought home by her husband and young wife."

"Alhamdulillah," I said gratefully. I'm so relieved to hear that.

"I'm surprised. You are so affectionate and considerate of your mother-in-law. But why is Fabian still getting married again? Has your husband really blinded naf*u?"

"Maybe my soul mate and Fabian's only got here" I said.

"Oh yeah, where do you live now?" ask Mayra.

"Me and Lyra now live in a boarding house not far from the LR textile factory."

Mayra frowned.

"So you said you still have a brother, right? Why don't you just stay in their house?"

"Khumayra Suster. Come with me. We'll soon set up the operating room" said the man wearing a doctor's suit.

"Okay, Doctor."

"Sorry, Ra. I have to go to the operating room now" Mayra said.

"Eh, who's the doctor?" manya curious.

"Why? You have a crush?"

"Absolutely you!"

"The name is Dr. Faisal. He's the new doctor at this hospital in place of his dead father."

"Looks like him. I can see from the way he looks at you" my god.

"It is impossible that Ra. I'm just a regular nurse. My status is also a widow. How could the doctor seem to want to be with me."

"You must not precede destiny. It's not impossible for you and doctor Faisal to be a match."

"You don't make me expect too high. It will hurt later." Mayra chuckles.

"Khumayra's Suster."

Once again Faisal's doctor called out Mayra's name.

"Yes, Doc."

"You know what, I'm sure I keep talking. Doctor Faisal is all over," grumbled.

This time I chuckled.

"Yes, congratulations, Sister Khumayra" I said.

"See you soon." Mayra swooped into Lyra's tiny nose before it finally passed from before us.

I put my foot out of the hospital. Not long after a taxi passed. My goal before returning to the boarding house that is now my residence is a clothing store. When I left my house a few days ago, I didn't bring enough change for Lyra or myself.

I was picking clothes for Lyra when suddenly someone approached me. 

"Mak Zura" he said.

I also looked towards him. His voice was no stranger to my ears.

"Pure Mother?"

"Thank God, God has brought us together again. I am sorry for the disaster suffered by Mbak Zura family," he said.

"Thank you, Mom. At that time I had wanted to say goodbye to Mom and Dad but Mother's house was empty."

"Sorry, Ma'am. At that time my husband and I were out of town" said Ms. Murni. I nodded in understanding.

"Oh yeah, Zura's mother and family now live where?" ask Mum Pure.

"Ehm, me and Lyra are now living at the boarding house."

"Patience to you, Ma'am. The test is one of God's ways to raise our level" he said.

Suddenly Lyra smiled. I think he understands who my opponent is talking about.

"Lyra, Miss, dear" he said, taking over my little daughter from my arms. Ms. Pure then clasped her body and gave her kisses many times. Although not a brother or a relative, I can feel his sincerity in my daughter.

Lyra always felt calm and comfortable with him.

"Oh yeah. How's Bu Kinanti doing?" ask Pure Ma."

"Ehm, thank God the mother's condition has improved."

"Thank God."

"Sorry, Mom. I have not been able to return the money I borrowed for my mother-in-law's operating expenses yesterday" I said.

"Not to think about it, Ma'am. We sincerely help Mbak Zura with the family."

Our conversation paused when suddenly the front door of the store opened. Looks like a man and a woman walking while holding friendly arms entering the store. My heart beat several times faster when I saw the faces of the two visitors.

Seriate…
