My wife's lover

chapter 95

After leaving my phone contact number to the sisters in the ICU and NICU rooms, I went to take my mother and two children home.

"Dad, tomorrow we can go home from school to the hospital again to visit the mother and twin sister?" ask daughter.

"Yes, baby!"

"You don't forget to rest later, son. Don't stay up. Remember to take care of your health too!" mother's message.

I nodded, "Yes, ma'am."

When I got home, I went upstairs to my room. I took a shower for a while then the maghrib prayer happened to be time. I also took my family's personal data, probably in need later in the hospital. I hope my wife wakes up soon.

I went straight back to the hospital.

While I was focusing on driving, my phone suddenly rang. Minimarket phone.

"Assalammu'alaikum!"

"What?"

"Hhh, I'm sorry. In Shay'ah tomorrow I will pay your salary. I have a problem right now."

"Oh no! It's not about money. Ms Santi was suddenly ill today and is now being treated in hospital. I am busy taking care of my wife now. Please tell others to be patient. I will definitely pay your salary!"

"Thank you. Please tell the security guard to close the minimarket properly, yes!"

I disconnected the phone call and refocused on driving. Aahh, it turns out that all the employees asked for their salaries that I should have paid today.

At the hospital, I went to the NICU first. I want to see my two daughters. I just looked outside through the window. They were like that, asleep.

After being satisfied to see my twins, I went to the ICU room where the children were being cared for. My wife is still like that.

I sat next to him holding his hand tightly. That face is not as pale as before, is it possible because it has been in a blood transfusion? I don't know, I hope there's progress. My wife? You can feel my presence.

After waiting for my wife, I went out. I sat in the waiting room in front of the ICU. There are some people who seem to be the same fate as me.

We ended up engaging in chatter just to throw off the burnout. To comfort ourselves if we are not alone in experiencing this calamity.

The next day, after visiting my wife and twins, I went home to take my two children to school.

"You have breakfast first, son!" mother's word.

I shook my head weakly, "Later on, ma'am. I'm not hungry!" my answer.

I drove my two kids to school. My mother never waited for Alya at school again so she would come with me to the hospital.

"Dad, go home from school I'm going to the hospital too, yeah!" said daughter.

"Hhh, yes son!" sahutku.

After dropping off my two children, I drove my mother to the hospital first.

"Mother, I'm staying in the hospital alone is okay, huh? I'm going to the minimarket first have some business!" I said to my mother when I got to the hospital parking lot.

"Why early in the morning, son?"

"Yes, mom. This morning I want to give employees a salary before they work. Yesterday the employees called asking for their salaries."

"Hhh, I'm first, yes!" pamit mom then get out of the car.

I returned to drive the car. This time to the minimarket. Minimarket is still quiet, no employees have come. There was only a security guard guard guard at the post. Looks like he's sleeping. I opened the door with the key I held myself.

I walked into my office and opened the safe. I took out an envelope with employee payroll that I had prepared yesterday.

One by one the employees came. I asked them to go to my office.

"This is your salary this month! Hope you work here, yes! Thank you." I said, handing one envelope to one employee.

It was Melly's turn to get into my room.

"This is Melly's salary this month. Hope you work here, yes! Thanks" said I.

"Hhmm, sorry sir. I heard that Santi went to the hospital. What pain, sir?" ask me Melly.

He looked surprised, "Hhmm, sorry isn't Santi seven months old?" tanyanya.

"The baby was born prematurely, mother."

He looks even more shocked.

"But maybe Santi and the baby are okay, right?"

"Please pray for my wife and child."

"Yes, sir, I hope the wife and baby are okay and can go home from the hospital soon!" said Mbak Melly.

Melly's mom gets out of my room right away. After all the shift one employees get their pay. I then got out of the office. I want to briefly control the minimarket from the top floor to the bottom floor.

After I finished controlling the minimarket for a while, I then returned to the hospital. I will come to the minimarket again when just two shifts to give employees salary.

Arriving at the Hospital, I rushed to the NICU room. Turns out mom just got out of there.

"How's my twin, ma'am?" my many.

"They're still like yesterday, son!" my mother replied lethargic.

Hhh, I took a slow breath and then exhaled slowly to calm my feelings. My heart still feels really messed up.

I just peeked at them from outside through the glass window. I don't know when they'll be inside that glass box. Looking at their own bodies I wouldn't dare to carry them.

After being satisfied to look at my two children, I then stepped my feet into the ICU room. How's Santiku doing? I hope I will be given good news.

***

One week, the condition of my wife and my two children still has not made any progress. I want to see a doctor to ask about their condition. The more days I feel more anxious and my life feels not calm always think of them.

I'm waiting for the doctor to visit so I can ask in person.

A doctor came to check on my wife.

"How's my wife, doc?" my many.

"Hmm, my wife is still the same as yesterday. We're trying to provide the best treatment, sir. Because the disease continues to be allowed during pregnancy so the disease is getting worse plus the condition of the body that is weak during the pregnancy of twins. Just pray, yeah!" it was the doctor who made me worse.

I was still staring at that body. He is like a sleeping person. But his body looks more contained. When I touch it feels more solid. Ahh yes, maybe because of the infusion liquid that somehow has the bottle entered his body.

I remember my twin babies. Currently, the pediatrician will visit also to the NICU room. I'm going to hurry there.

And it's true. The doctor just came out of the NICU. A young female doctor. I hope he takes a little time to ask.

"Doctor!" call me.

The doctor looked up, "Yes, sir. Can I help you?" tanyanya friendly.

"I'm the father of twins in the NICU, doc!" my clear.

"Oh, the father of the parents of the twins inside? I spoke to his grandmother."

"Yes, doc. How's my twin baby developing, doc?"

"Because it's only been a day, so the development hasn't really been seen. Hopefully in the next few days there will be some progress, sir. I am patient and I pray for them."

"Alright, doc. Thank you" I said slowly.
