My Mom Wants to Mate

100. Go Without Permission

From the big road, they had to enter a small alley to reach Olive's house so that Karen's car was parked by the side of the road. They walked on foot and finally arrived.

There, a little girl was playing on the porch. Karen recognized the face from the photo Olive showed. That face even stopped by Karen's dream last night.

Karen approached and looked at the little girl. His heart was immediately sliced to see on his neck embedded blue objects, in the nose embedded hose.

"Hello, you must be Meylani" said Karen.

Meylani nodded. His grandmother also left the house. They mingle with Olive's mother/Meylani's grandmother.

"I'm sorry, Miss Karen, Miss Inda, Meylani has trouble speaking. He still wears a canoe around his neck for his airway."

Karen nodded. "If the hose on the nose is what hose, ma'am?" asked the curious Karen who saw a hose larger than the oxygen hose. Karen's never seen a hose like that.

It's not an oxygen hose, is it? Not connected to the tube. (Karen).

"Oh that's the NGT hose, for food," replied Meylani's grandmother.

Inda covered her mouth with her hands.

"Mom, can you tell meylani's deck what milk she drinks?"

Meylani's grandmother mentioned a foreign brand of milk in Karen's ears. Milk is special milk. Meylani is not allowed to consume regular milk.

Karen and Inda say goodbye to buying the milk at a nearby pharmacy. Luckily, not far from there is a pharmacy and minimarket. However, the two places were across the big road so they had to cross.

Karen accompanied Inda to buy milk and some supplies for Meylani.

Nahas, while crossing the road to return to Olive's house, a high-speed motorbike loses control and crashes into Karen's body.

Karen slammed onto the asphalt with her arms propped up. The biker just left.

"Geez, Boss!" peekuk Inda, surprised and worried.

He helped Karen stand up. Several people who saw it gathered and helped Karen.

"Sir is okay?" ask a citizen.

"It's okay, sir, it's just blisters" Karen replied.

He assured the people that he was okay. Then they left.

"Boss sure it's okay?" ask Inda while examining Karen's body.

"My feet look like they're sore, Cat."

"I bought medicine at the pharmacy, Boss."

"Don't, don't. I was horrified to see people crossing the street. We're going to the car, there's the same medicine bandage."

They get into the car to treat Karen's wounds on her hands and feet. It turned out that the blisters in Karen's hands were quite wide. Inda treated Karen's wounds carefully.

While looking at Inda who rubbed the wound with cotton, inexplicably Karen suddenly remembered her husband's face.

Why Daniel? Holy hooch! Daniel didn't let me go. (Karen).

Karen has just realized her biggest mistake, leaving without her husband. Although the intention is to do good, still must get permission from the husband.

"Boss, boss wait in the car just let me anther these things."

Karen nodded.

Inda went for a moment to drop off the items and returned to the car to go home.

Next day

Karen wakes up at 6. The sound of water in the bathroom sign that her husband is taking a bath.

Daniel doesn't know that Karen had an accident. Last night, Karen used long-sleeved pajamas and trousers so she didn't have any visible injuries.

This morning, Karen's body ached so much that she had trouble moving. Some moans escaped from his mouth.

Daniel who just finished bathing approached Karen. "Why?"

Karen shakes. "It's okay. Um, I'm gonna take a shower."

Karen tried to stand up. However, he even felt extreme pain that made his face express pain.

Daniel hugging Karen made his wife more pain but was arrested. Long-long Karen couldn't stand it either and screamed.

"Aawww, aarrrggghh ...."

Daniel loosened his embrace and watched Karen. His hand accidentally touched the bandaged left arm.

"What's this?"

"Geez!"

Karen just lowered her head, really not daring to say anything. Daniel took off Karen's shirt and pants. Look at Karen's bandaged arms and body full of blue bruises. Daniel could only look at his wife with a faint look.

He took the medicine box, changed the bandage and applied the medicine on the blue bruises on Karen's body. After that, she put the clothes back on carefully. Not a word came out of Daniel's mouth.

Karen was crying too. She felt guilty for leaving without her husband's permission.

"Why is this so?" Daniel finally asked.

"I was yesterday at the house of Ma'am Olive continued to hit the motorcycle when it crossed the road." Finally Karen said what happened with the remaining sobs.

"Without my permission?"

"I'm sorry, I don't repeat. If you don't let me go, I won't go."

"You've miscarried. I'm not letting you go let you rest. There is no intention of jailing you at home. If you're healthy, you're free to go where you like."

Karen nodded. She no longer intends to leave if she does not get permission from her husband.

"Now add to these injuries. You really should be home first."

Karen nodded again.

***

Two days later, Karen was better. The bruise on his body only remains color, there is no pain (unless squeezed yaw, must still hurt). The wounds on the hands and feet have also begun to dry up. Daniel has allowed her to go to the office.

The first thing to do in the office was to convene Linggom and Neni. It turns out Neni knows himself enough. He gave a resignation letter before it was issued by his boss. Karen gave him severance money.

There is a Linggom now in front of Karen.

"Come on Nggom, give me a good reason."

"No boss, I-I just want some extra money for a full lifestyle."

"If so, what do you think the sanctions are? A. Go out on your own like Neni, or B. Wanna be outside?"

"This is a quiz question? If the answer is right, get a gift?"

"Your Mbah quiz! Let's choose before my patience runs out."

"Go out on your own, boss."

Karen gave him severance money. "Good choice, I still want to give you a letter of recommendation for Neni because you know yourself. You know, actually you can also accept jobs from outside, it's up to not disturb the performance here. But your mistake is because it cannot divide the time between the job from here with the job from outside your performance here mleyot. That puts Ren's Writer at stake."

Linggom immediately left from there.

Karen called Olive into her room. "Mr Olive, look. If Mbak Olive needs an additional job, Mbak can ask Inda. Actually I plotted your job so you guys don't stress. But if you have a need and want to add jobs can also be really. And I also took it to Linggom earlier, can take a job from outside, as long as not in the name of Ren's if it's a gambling website and illegal products, the sin of his own responsibility. And origin, the work here should not be messed up."

Olive nodded. "Sanction for me what Boss?"

"The trick is you have to take money from me for Meylani's treatment."

"No boss, I'm ...."

"No, it's a sanction."

"Ba-good Boss. Oh yeah, thanks for seeing Meylani. My mother told me."

Karen nodded.

"Ehm, nitip also thanks to doctor Daniel has been recognized to the Foundation Berkah Empik-Empek. Meylani's treatment was very helpful."

Karen was surprised, she didn't know about it. Daniel secretly helps, though not directly. She just remembered her husband set up a halfway house, surely Daniel has many fellow foundations.

"Yes, I'll tell my husband."
