Persist

The Part 24

I blinked my eyes as I felt a hand pull my hair out of my face.

"You awake?. Am I bothering you?". asked Aqil when I found out I opened my eyes.

"I'm sorry I woke up bad luck". I tried to get up but Aqil prevented it.

"Why don't you tell me you have a fever". Aqil held my forehead a few times.

"I don't know if I have a fever". I said slowly.

"Do I want to call a doctor?. Or am I going to the hospital?". Aqil clasped my hand tightly.

"no need. There is also medicine at home". Mei entered without my permission.

"Darling, my friends will come. They want to see you". Mei sullens spoiled on Aqil. "You accompany me at home". Still with his appeal.

"I'll be home. Alisha's sick too, I have to take care of her too". Aqil.

"I'll prepare the medicine for Alisha how?".

"good. I'll be here to accompany him". Aqil. Mei kissed Aqil's cheek and walked out of my room.

I looked down and just kept quiet. I was confused how he reacted. Broken, obviously this heart is broken but what to say. Aqil didn't even think about my feelings.

Not long ago a new maid came with a drink and medicine.

"Sorry Mister. You were told to go down to see a guest from Madame Mei.

"You're okay when I stay". Aqil rubbed my head. "Before you get off. You take your medicine first".

Aqil helped me take the medicine. After that he kissed my forehead and went down to meet Mei's friends.

💝 💝 💝

Almost two hours I felt the pain that was very much in my stomach but I did not dare to come out afraid to interfere with their event.

Until I finally got out of the room. I'll go to the hospital with Aqil or without Aqil.

"Aqil . Aqils. Aqils". I tried to call him but he didn't listen.

I went out and asked the driver to take me but all the drivers are off today. I kept holding my stomach. My view is getting blurry too. By walking slowly I will stop the taxis.

"You why?. Does your stomach hurt?". Gama approached me and tried to hold me.

"Don't approach me Gama. I hate you" I'm walking backwards still with a stomach that hurts so much.

"You deserve to hate me but you have to think about your baby" Gama slowly approached. "I'm taking you to the hospital". Gama asked me to get in his car.

On the way to the hospital I just kept quiet while holding my stomach. I've never felt this kind of pain before. I was crying, afraid of the baby in my womb.

💝 💝 💝

"How's Doc doing?". asked Gama to the female doctor who had just examined me.

"You're her husband, huh?". The doctor smiled and looked at me. "This mother almost miscarried, probably because she ate something".

"Miscarriage?".many of me who still digest the words of the doctor.

"I said almost. Fortunately quickly brought here, we have given the drug booster content". The doctor smiled back. "Guardly really yes Ma'am. Pity her husband to such a golden age".

"I'm not her husband Doc". Said Gama, he bowed lethargic.

Smile. Just the smile that the doctor gave me again. "Please rest first, ma'am. Excuse me".

The doctor came out after giving me a prescription to redeem. Today Gama saved me.

"Thank you Gama".

"Either. Don't be stupid just because of the little things, you have to take care of your baby". Gama smiled at me.

"Oh so you're the one who took my wife secretly" Aqil entered my room and punched Gama in the face.

"Aqil. What the fuck are you". I tried to stop Aqil. "Listen to my explanation.

"explanation?. Obviously you went with another man while I was home". Aqil's face flushed red. His eyes radiate anger.

"Gama, you're okay, right?". I helped Gama get up from his seat.

"Aqil. If Gama hadn't brought me here, I might have lost my son".

"What do you mean?". Aqil clasped my hand tightly. It was so tight my hands hurt. "I'm at home, you should have called me".

"I've called you a few times. But you didn't hear me, all the drivers you also libered". I looked down sad at what Aqil did.

"Aqil, don't be so hard on him". Gama tried to mediate between me and Aqil.

"You shut up, you just want to take my wife's sympathy and take it slowly away from me, don't you?".

I looked at Aqil. Did Aqil already know about me and Gama. Why can he say this.

"Aqil". call me to him. "Why did you conclude like that".

"Now you're out of here. Let me take care of my own wife".

Gama came out with a fist. He also continued to hold his cheek which looked bruised because of Aqil.

"Release Aqil. This really hurts".I said very slowly afraid of offending Aqil.

Aqil held my face and kissed my forehead. He looked into my two eyes. "From now on if there's anything don't walk away from me. But, call me".

I nodded slowly. Aqil helped me get back to bed.

"I'm sorry, you see things you shouldn't see". Aqil spoke to the fetus that was in my stomach.

"You know where I'm from?". I asked Aqil.

"May, he said that you're in the hospital". Aqil sat beside me.

"Kok Mei can tell I'm here."

Aqil shrugged his shoulders in ignorance. "What do you want to eat?".

"I just want to rest, I'll be home in the afternoon".

"Then you rest first. I'll tell Mama".

💝 💝 💝

My mother fed me very painstakingly. I tried to refuse because I could still eat by myself.

"Udah Ma. I'm full".

Mama put the porridge bowl down. He looked at me.

"Aqil hurt you?". asked Mama lovingly. I miss my real mom.

"No Ma. Why is Mom asking this?".

"Dengerin Mama, you son Mama. Tell me if Aqil hurt you".

"Ma, Aqil never hurt me. I'm happy with this marriage". I held Mama's hand to convince her. "If there's anything, I'll run to Mama".

"You should do that if there's anything". My mom finally smiled.

"Darling why you should come here. I'm going shopping".me and Mama turned to the door when they heard Mei's voice.

"Why are you here?". asked Aqil. They hug each other.

"Mama can talk to you, right?". Mama asked as soon as Aqil removed her opener.

"Could be Ma. I'll be home later".

Mama shook her head. "Mama wants it now".

"Then Mei can keep Alisha here".

Aqil and Mama are out. Mei approached and whispered something to me.

"I didn't think you'd make it". Mei smiled fiercely at me.

Shut up and don't rub it, that's what I do.

"You should feel the same pain as my sister felt" Mei pressed the infusion in my hand.

I closed my eyes and tried to tell her it was free to argue with Mei. At the end of the day he's just going to get angry and get more brutal.

"What are you doing Mei?". Aqil pulled Mei away from me.

"Aqil. I was just helping Alisha justify the infusion interval". Mei said in her potent tone.

"What did Mei really say, Al?". Aqil asked me.

"Where is Mama?". I tried to distract Aqil.

"But buy milk for you". Aqil sat beside me. "I'll accompany Mei, after which I'll invite you home".

If I can be honest, I don't want to go home. I'm afraid Mei will hurt my son again.

"Mama will come with us home. He's worried you can't keep your womb".

"Obviously she can't, she's never been loved by her parents". Mei said with a dislike look.

"You shut up and wait for me to get in the car". Aqil told Mei to leave from there.

"OKs".

After Mei came out Aqil immediately checked my hand. "You're so good to me". Aqil kissed my hand and said goodbye.
