Not Love But Married

Not Love But Married
Like father and son



Andra was still fast asleep after an hour or so of plastering operations were completed. A male nurse came to check on Andra, who was still asleep, and the nurse said it often happened because the effects of anesthesia had not completely disappeared.


Rania glanced at the wall clock above the television monitor, at 16:30, Rania felt unsettled because she had not yet performed Ashar prayer. Bik Inah had just returned home delivered by Mr. Joko, to take a change of clothes for Andra and himself. Now there is only him, Andra and Arsha who are still in the VVIP nursery. Rania also felt surprised by Arsha who still insisted on waiting for Andra until now, even though he knew, there were still many unfinished office jobs.


Rania looked for mukena, maybe the hospital provided the facility mukena. But alas, it seems that his search is nil and fruitless. Rania is getting confused.


Meanwhile, Arsha was sitting on a sofa foot, his tie and suit had been removed and left lying just under his feet. His hands were busy playing his phone, looking at the files Dani had sent. Somehow Arsha had not wanted to leave the hospital before seeing Andra aware of the anesthetic effect.


'Did I send Andra to Boss sir huh?', Rania's mind was agitated. Rania finally decides to approach Arsha.


"Sorry Mr. Arsha, I would like to ask for help. I leave Andra for a moment, I want to pray first in the lower mosque. What... father deigned?".


Arsha immediately lowered her legs, sat down and then looked at Rania who was already nearby. "Go, let Andra take care of me.".


"Thank you sir, I'll be back here soon. Assalamu'alaic... ", Rania immediately passed without waiting for a greeting from Arsha.


After Rania's death, Arsha walked up to Andra's bed, then sat down on the chair next to the bed, which Rania had occupied.


His eyes fixed on Andra who was still sound asleep. His outstretched hand touched the soft white cheek, rubbing it with the back of his index finger.


'Had my son been alive, he would have been this big', his mind sad to remember what happened five years ago.


Arsha smiled looking at Andra who was still asleep. His heart completely warmed up when he got close to Andra, making him forget about his old wounds.


Andra moved her head, piqued with Arsha's touch.


"Bundaaa.". ", call her in a hoarse voice.


Arsha pulls her hand quickly, afraid to wake Andra from her sleep when Rania is not there. But too late, Andra had already woken up from her sleep. His small eyes blinked at the person sitting next to him.


"Ayaaahhh, ", he said.


Arsha gasped to hear Andra calling her father. The murmur in his chest came back.


"Andra." call Arsha in a soft voice.


Andra opened her eyes again, looking at Arsha with narrowed eyes.


"Of... Mother where?".


"Yes Andra, this is Om Arsha. Ra. means Mother is praying first in the lower mosque. ".


Andra turned her gaze to the corner of the room, "Andra peed, Om. ".


Arsha was silent for a moment, 'what did Andra say? He wants to pee?'.


Arsha turned to the right and left in confusion, her whole life had never been caring for, playing or anything related to a child.


"Om Arsha, Andra's been peeing. Andra does not want to pee in her pants, Andra is ashamed of Mother.", said Andra with a raucous voice like going to cry.


"Ah yes, Om help to go to the bathroom yes.", said Arsha quickly, afraid that until Andra cried.


Andra nodded obediently, then brandished her right hand asking Arsha to carry it. Arsha immediately embraced Andra, raising her tiny body with her left hand carefully, fearing that it would hurt Andra's new left hand in the cast, while her right hand pushed the wheeled infusion pole into the bathroom.


Luckily Andra still wears the hospital pajamas without wearing it in her underwear, so Arsha easily and quickly cleans Andra after having finished urinating.


Arsha again carried Andra out of the bathroom.


"Om, Andra wants to sit there. ", point Andra at the sofa that Arsha was sitting on.


"Oh there. Okay. ", he said still with a stiff tone. Arsha sat Andra down slowly, then sat down next to him.


"Andra what else do you want?", he asked in a soft voice.


"Andra wants a drink, Om. Andra house. ".


"Drink, Om take a minute. ".


Arsha immediately rushed towards the dining table and took out a glass then filled it with water from the dispenser.


"This drinking. ".


Andra took a sip of water whose glass was still held by Arsha.


"Thank you, Om. ".


"Together, Andra. ".


"Om, why look at Andra?".


Arsha smiled, her hands outstretchedly stroking Andra's hair gently.


"Because, Om Arsha is very happy to meet Andra. ".


"Om Arsha is your friend at the office, like Om Dani. Why did Om Arsha never play at Mother's house like Om Dani?".


Arsha was silent for a moment, 'Dani jerk!!', her inner self inwardly. His eyes were still fixed on Andra who was still waiting for her answer.


"Because Om Arsha was busy yesterday. If tomorrow Om Arsha can play with Andra?".


Andra nodded her head in excitement.


"By Om, play the new lego dino tyrannosaurus. Yesterday playing the same Om Dani but the lego is not yet, Om Dani can not play lego.", Andra put on a very funny frown, making Arsha more anxious with the child in front of him.


"Waahhh, Om Arsha also likes to play lego. Om has a lot of lego at home" he said with enthusiasm, it's great that Andra has the same hobby as him.


"Waahhh, meaning Om Arsha can play lego.".


"Can dong. From childhood Om Arsha also likes to play lego like Andra. Andra likes what form of lego? Om Arsha buyin for Andra. ".


Andra seemed to think for a moment, "Mother said, Andra should not ask for toys with others, should ask for the same Mother first.".


'Intelligent way Rania educates Andra', Arsha's mind is amazed by Andra's cleverness.


"But if Om Arsha love for a gift, surely dong. ".


"May Om, but Mommy must know first. ".


Arsha smilingly looked at Andra, truly a obedient child to her parents.


Suddenly the door of the room opened wide, surprising the two of them as they chatted.


"Andra's.. !".


Arsha and Andra who were sitting on the couch looked at Dani who had just entered in haste and with his hunting breath as if running out.


"Andra's... ", Dani immediately hugged Andra tightly.


"Auww, sick Om Dani. ", Andra's cry broke again when Dani accidentally nudged Andra's left hand. Arsha immediately pushed Dani away, then hugged Andra slowly.


"Be careful Dani!", said Arsha slowly but firmly. Though actually he really wants to scold Dani who is careless, but later will definitely make Andra afraid of him.


"Sorry dear, Om Dani accidentally.", Dani glanced at Arsha in surprise, why is the boss still here? All he knew was that Rania was delivered to the hospital by her boss, but why is she still here? When his boss contacted him just saying that there was some business outside, Dani did not think that Andra's business was meant by his boss.


Arsha looked back at him sharply and full of anger.


"Om Arsha, Andra wants to bobo again there", said Andra while pointing at the patient's waiting bed. Arsha immediately carried Andra towards the bed Andra had appointed.


Dani just gawked at the scene in front of him that looked like a father and son relationship. 'Why is Andra so quick to get along with the stone head?!', his mind is jealous.


"Andra, Om Dani was sorry, would Andra forgive Om Dani?".


Andra just turned to Dani and nodded slowly over Arsha's shoulder who was carrying her.


Arsha laid Andra's body into bed slowly, then sat down beside Andra, Dani followed crouching on the bed near Andra's head.


"Andra why does it hurt her hands?", asked Dani trying to get close to Andra so as not to get angry with her again.


"So Andra wants to see a little colorful chicken, Om. Cute chicken... Andra runs, there's a bike, Andra doesn't see, Om. Andra hits the motor, Andra's hand hurts. ".


Dani looked at Andra's left hand which was wrapped in a white cement cast.


"Andra likes colorful chickens? Tomorrow Om Dani buyin. ".


Andra shook her head slowly, "Said Mommy should not buy colorful chicken, because the chicken is still small, Mother pity the chicken. ".


"Assalamu'alaikum's chat... ".


"Waalaikum... Mother..!", cried Andra when she heard the voice of greeting from Rania.


"Alhamdulillah... Andra is awake. ", Rania immediately entered when she heard Andra's voice from inside, her steps stopped when she saw Andra was surrounded by Arsha and Dani. Quiet for a moment, confused as to how to approach Andra. And now the three men in front of him were staring at him without blinking.
