NO DIGAS ADIOS (Don't Say Goodbye)

NO DIGAS ADIOS (Don't Say Goodbye)
NDA - 4-S



In her room, Selenia's feelings were erratic. When Adam's arm held his arm earlier, Selenia was sure that her husband's body temperature was not normal. But she was embarrassed to have to go back to the room again just to ask her husband's condition. He was afraid that Adam would judge him strange - because all this time he wasn't that cool - and instead made himself misbehaved.


What is this thing called wife-feeling? Concerns that cannot be lost when you know your husband is not okay.


Selenia stood at the edge of the room window while biting her lips. Habits he does when his heart is not calm. Should he tell Adam's parents? But what if they come here, and it turns out Adam's healed? It would definitely make him feel even more strange in front of Adam. Somehow it felt like he didn't want to look that attentive to Adam in front of his in-laws.


Ah already... Adam must be just plain tired. His mind then, just to calm himself. After all, these days he always comes home late. After rest, he will also be healed.


Selenia sat on the edge of the bed. His eyes looked at the gift of Adam who had not been opened this morning because he had to go to school immediately. Selenia just grunted softly. He actually chose to open a gift from Cia, which turned out to be the case of his mobile phone series. Selenia's eyes sparkled. This is the dream case he was after a few days ago when they went to the mall. Oh my... This kid knows exactly what I want... Selenia kissed the case many times.


"His lunch is ready, Non," Bi Iyah called from outside the room.


"Yes bik, let me down again" said Selenia.


After changing her phone case to a new one and changing clothes, Selenia then came out. That's when he saw Adam's bedroom door open a little.


Where's tumben? Selenia's forehead frowned. Adam always kept his door closed. But this is...


Selenia stepped slowly and carefully approached the door of her husband's room. He tried to peek out from the opening of the door a little. Inside the room, Adam is seen still lying on his head. Every now and then he seemed to roll left and right like he was uncomfortable. Seeing that, Selenia's feelings of worry grew. She believes something is wrong with her husband's health. But when Selenia had just walked a few steps to go to the room, she was suddenly surprised by Bibik's arrival from behind carrying a tray of food.


"Bik" said Selenia nervously.


"Non" Bi Iyah smiled. "Non Selenia's lunch is ready below."


"That's..." Selenia pointed at everything Bi Iyah had brought.


"Yes Non. Mr. Adam asked that his lunch be taken to that room he said."


"Sir Adam is fine, right bik?" ask Selenia worriedly. His forehead pucker deeply.


"Mmm. without... Yes, Mr. Adam said he was just exhausted and needed rest" Bi Iyah replied stammeredly. She had to lie because her male employer told her not to say anything about her condition to Selenia. Adam actually complained that his whole body was all sick. He also felt very weak and dizzy.


Adam does not want Selenia to worry excessively and instead interferes with her learning concentration. Although his wife had rarely even noticed him, today she saw a radiance of anxiety from Selenia's eyes when she found out she was sick.


Selenia was not satisfied to hear Bi Iyah's reply. I don't know why he keeps worrying. But had not had time to ask further, Bi Iyah had hunted into Adam's room. Selenia wanted to catch up inside, but then stopped. She's shy. What if Adam asked 'why, what's wrong, etc'. Finally Selenia chose to turn around and went straight to the dining room.


...🌺🌺🌺...


Selenia's worries come true. After Isya's prayer when she was just about to open a gift from Adam, there was a cry of Bi Iyan who called Selenia from Adam's room. Selenia hurriedly came to Adam's room. Selenia was shocked and shocked. She panicked when she saw Adam helpless with her husband's unusual temperature. Selenia tried to contact her in-laws but did not get an answer. So without a second thought he immediately asked Mr. Tono to drive them to the hospital.


The doctor said Adam had typhoid fever. So he had to be treated until he was completely recovered. Adam's blood pressure was very low, his body temperature was high, and he vomited once when he just arrived at the hospital. Selenia looked at Adam's weakly lying body with an infusion tube connected to her body. Selenia's worries are becoming more and more. She's afraid of Adam why-why. It's been two hours and Adam's been here, but his eyes are still closed.


Doctors also said, the cause of Adam's condition to drop is due to fatigue. Selenia believes it's because Adam is a hardworker. But on the other hand, the Doctor also says other causes.


"Sir Adam was not only physically exhausted, but his mind was also tired," the words the doctor had spoken rang in Selenia's head.


Tired of mind? What makes it like that?


Is there anything else Adam thought of besides his work? About the life they live now? Or.... what?


Question after question flashed in Selenia's head. A guilty feeling attacked him. He felt he was being too selfish. As a wife, should not she be a place to exchange ideas, a place to pour out all grievances, so that her husband does not have to think about everything alone - and vice versa. At least if she can't 'serve' her husband yet, she can understand a little about his whereabouts. No matter what their marital status is, husband and wife are husband and wife. Shouldn't it be?


This incident made Selenia completely aware of how long she had never paid attention to her husband. Adam was the one who had given up more and cared about him. She appreciates Selenia the most through the little things that Selenia says are just plain - asking for permission before leaving for work, giving her a surprise birthday. Even in her spare time, she always asks Selenia at school. But Selenia always responded coldly. Replying to Adam's messages with short answers without ever wanting to know back to her husband's circumstances.


Selenia's tears. He hoped Adam would open his eyes again soon.


"Wake, Dam..." Selenia clasped Adam's hand tightly. Never had he felt this scared to see Adam's condition.



...Edwin Prawira (Father of Adam)...



...Lisa Prawira (Mama Adam)...


Selenia rushed straight into Ms. Lisa's arms, as soon as the two parents entered the room where Adam was being treated.


"Adam hasn't woken up Ma yet" Selenia sobbed.


"Prophey, baby. Adam must have been able to get through all this, "Lisa's trying to calm her daughter-in-law down. He felt the child's forehead just the wayangnya that was still hot.


In the midst of the sadness was tucked a piece of happiness in the heart of Bu Lisa to see the attention of Selenia to her son whom she had never seen. He saw the sincere worry from Selenia's eyes. Worried about the state of her husband who for 4 months more became her husband, she never cared about his whereabouts.


Actually either Mr. Edwin-Father Adam-or Miss Lisa can not stand to see the marriage that happened to both. Nothing has changed since they got married until now. Adam and Selenia are like people who don't know each other. But if she remembered Kalila's will before she died, she and her husband did not dare to make the decision to separate them. Moreover, all this time Adam never complained about this to them.


It's just that as a mother, Miss Lisa felt sorry to see both. It's too bad to see his son, to have a wife but not to have a wife. Poor to see Selenia. Being a wife and a high school teenager at the same time. However, Lisa still thinks that Adam's position is safer than Selenia's. If one day someone else knew that Adam was married, it wouldn't be a serious problem. People will understand and say it's natural. But not for Selenia. If one day this is revealed at a time when Selenia has not graduated. The school must have immediately expelled itself if it knew the student was married. Selenia's future is at stake.


That's why Adam's parents never demanded anything from Selenia. Seeing Selenia give Adam some attention, this time was more than enough.


...🌺🌺🌺...


Adam woke up at 4 a.m. Actually, he was in the middle of the night. But when she saw her parents and Selenia who were fast asleep while sitting on the sofa, she did not have the heart to wake them up.


"You're in school today, aren't you Sel? You are not going home pa-pa. Let Mama and Papa keep me here" Adam said that morning when Selenia just came out of the toilet.


Selenia sees Miss Lisa and Mr. Edwin taking turns. Then he looked at Adam and smiled wryly.


"I've written a license to Cia. I didn't go to school today."


"Lhoh, why?" ask Mr. Edwin and Ms. Lisa almost simultaneously.


Adam held a smile hearing the two. Then he sent out a signal with a blink of an eye so that his parents would not keep asking Selenia. He knew his wife was confused as to what to answer.


"Yes, then let Papa and Mama go home, yes" said Ms. Lisa as she moved. "All Mama's bringing you a change of clothes."


When Mr. Edwin and Ms. Lisa left Adam's nursery, Selenia could only watch them leave without saying anything.


"Thank you Cell" said Adam as Selenia stared at the door.


"Eh.. w-what?" Selenia stuttered.


"Wmpffhh..." Adam chuckles. "Thank you, for wanting to keep me here," he grabbed Selenia's hand and rubbed her gently.


There was a vibration as well as a strange feeling in Selenia's heart as the two hands touched each other. Selenia just smiled and looked down. He was unable to reply to the gaze of Adam who looked at him with a look he could not describe.


From the grasp of the hand Selenia could feel Adam's body temperature that had decreased from last night. It's more normal. He was relieved that Adam was well and well.
