Grace was sitting limp by leaning against the back of the waiting chair in front of the ICU room, with a sweat the size of corn kernels condensing on her forehead and temples. After returning from the canteen, Grace felt the same way again and had to make her run back into the toilet. Grace's condition made Rivaldi and Isabella very anxious.
" Rena, you should just check the doctor, I'm afraid your stomach has a problem because you have eaten earlier. Or you should rest in the inpatient room. I'll have the nurse prepare for you." Rivaldi even wanted to have the nurse provide an inpatient room for Grace, because Rivaldi felt Grace needed rest and care.
" I don't want to! I'm not sick, Aldi!" Grace quickly rejected Rivaldi's suggestion.
" But if left unchecked, I'm afraid your pain could get worse. Moreover, you are late to eat, after eating, it was released again like before," complained Rivaldi, because the food that had a little portion into the mouth of Grace was even wasted.
" I'm okay, really! I'm going to my husband's room! Grace rose up to accompany Rizal into the ICU room.
" Rena, you're still limp!" Rivaldi held Grace's hand, so she had trouble getting out of there.
Seeing Rivaldi holding his hand, immediately Grace's tail glanced at Isabella who was there. He found Isabella's face immediately changed.
" Detach, Aldi!" Grace immediately brushed off Aldi's palm that was coiled around her wrist and then got back up.
" Bella, you accompany Aldi chatting, I want to accompany Papih." Grace deliberately avoids Rivaldi and gives Isabella a chance to talk to Rivaldi. He does not want Isabella to again misunderstand by assuming Rivaldi likes her.
Isabella gasps as Grace leaves herself alone with Rivaldi. While Surti has returned home, due to exchanging care with Isabella. If Agatha doesn't accompany Grace tonight, Surti will return to the hospital to look after Rizal with Grace.
" Thank you, Aldi, for swiping Papih." In an awkward tone, Isabella conversed with Rivaldi. What is he confused about? So find that sentence to just mince words.
" Yes." Yeah." Without turning her head towards Isabella, a short answer came out from the mouth of the man who was still standing in front of the door made of glass, looking into the ICU room.
" Did Aldi like Grace?" Out of nowhere came the courage of Isabella until suddenly her mouth raised a question that made Rivaldi gasp.
Rivaldi was wide-eyed at the unexpected question from Isabella, thus making her turn her gaze at the beautiful girl sitting on the chair staring at him.
" Grace loves Papih very much, and vice versa! Even though Brother Aldi was helping me at the time, but I will not let if Brother Aldi intends to approach my Papih's wife!" Isabella doesn't know how her face is at the moment. He did not realize that the unexpected words spoken from his lips were driven by jealousy in his heart.
Rivaldi stared fixedly at Isabella's face. It was unthinkable in her mind if her attitude towards Grace aroused suspicion in Isabella's mind.
" Yes, I know. I don't think that far either!" tepis Rivaldi, did not want to be considered intent on seizing people's wives. " I'll take care of you." Rivaldi then said goodbye, because he did not want Isabella to think of him anymore.
Without waiting for an answer from Isabella, Rivaldi immediately walked away from Isabella.
Isabella breathed harshly on Rivaldi's cold attitude earlier, different when dealing with Grace. It might be true that Rivaldi liked Grace, even though the man rejected her, but the difference in Rivaldi's attitude seemed so real, that was what Isabella had in mind.
In the afternoon, Agatha came back. He did not feel tired of having to accompany his daughter who was waiting for Rizal in the hospital.
With a plastic bag filled with food for herself and Grace, Agatha walked into the ICU room.
Agatha saw no one in the ICU lounge waiting chair, making her look inside the ICU through the glass door of the room. Agatha sees a young girl of Grace's age standing with Grace from the side of Rizal's gurney who is different from Grace's. Agatha guessed that it was Rizal's daughter, as she herself had never met her daughter's stepson.
Agatha chose to sit in the waiting chair and let the two women who were with Rizal in the ICU room.
" Mom, has Mama come?"
Agatha turned her head towards the door, when she heard Grace's voice coming out of the room along with Isabella.
" Yes, Grace. Mama saw you guys were inside, so Mama just waited here." Agatha reasoned. " Have you eaten yet? Here's Mama bring your favorite spaghetti. You eat first, me!" Agatha offered the food she had bought.
" Later, Mam. I'm not hungry yet" said Grace, refusing the food given by her mother.
" You haven't eaten yet, Grace. Later you nausea again like this afternoon because late eating, you know! If Papih finds out you're late for a meal, Papih will definitely nag!" Isabella reminds Grace not to eat late like lunch before to make Grace nauseous.
Agatha watched the young girl beside Grace who was advising Grace. It is true, if the girl is the daughter of Rizal. This can be seen from the way the girl called Rizal Papih.
Agatha suddenly frowned when she heard Isabella say Grace was nauseous.
" Yes, maybe because I ate late this afternoon, Mam." Grace replied by shaking her hand in the air as if to say that there was no need to worry about her.
" Have you checked the doctor?" ask Agatha.
" I'm fine, Mam. It's not nauseous anymore, either!" tepis Grace, who felt her mother was too overdone, told her to see a doctor.
" Mommy's worried you're sick, Grace!" Of course Agatha was worried about Grace's health. " Your face looks pale too." Agatha got up and walked over to Grace, and cupped Grace's jaw with her palms.
" Never get pregnant, Grace!?" Agatha rounded her eyeballs, thinking her son was two-bodied.
" Isshhh, Mama don't kayak Bi Tinah, deh! Accusing me of being pregnant when I'm not pregnant!" Grace parsed Agatha's hand on her face.
" But you're nauseous like that, there's no harm in you trying to check with the gynecologist." Agatha advised Grace to check with her obstetrician while they were in the hospital.
" No need, Ma! Later!" Grace did not want to be disappointed as when told Bi Tinah to check the pregnancy.
" Grace, you better check it out as soon as possible. If you are found out that you are positive for pregnancy, it is better, so you have to take care of your health and your fetus. You can't keep going to the hospital looking after your husband if you're pregnant, Grace." Agatha suggested that her daughter immediately go to an obstetrician. If Grace is caught pregnant, she will ban Grace for too long in the hospital, for the health of Grace and her future grandchildren.
" I want to accompany my husband, Ma! I don't want to be away from Papih!" Grace refuses to be barred from accompanying Rizal in the hospital if she turns out to be pregnant.
Agatha then glanced at Isabella who had been a spectator of a small debate between Grace and herself.
" You're Rizal's son, right?" agatha asked Isabella who was daydreaming looking at Grace.
" I-yes, Mom." said Isabella.
" Do you think there's a chance Grace could be pregnant?" Agatha asks Isabella for her opinion on the possibility of Grace becoming pregnant.
" Hmmm, I don't know, Mom." Of course Isabella would answer not knowing, because she had never felt what it was like to be pregnant.
" That's ...!" Agatha shook her hands in the air as she felt useless asking Isabella, not getting the answer she wanted.
" Mama is weird! Bella's not married, never been pregnant, why ask her?" Grace rolled her eyeballs. " Oh yes, here I want to eat! Mama brought what?" Grace asked for the food that Agatha had been offering.
" Mama brought spaghetti. But Mama only brought two." Agatha glanced towards Isabella back. She had no idea that Isabella was accompanying Grace at this time. " You guys just eat there! Let Mama wait here." Agatha told Grace and Isabella to eat the food she was carrying. The one he actually bought for Grace and himself.
" No need, Mom! I'm the same as Grace who eats. Let me be here waiting for Papih." Isabella refused the food Agatha offered her.
" Are you sure you don't want to?" ask Agatha again to offer.
" Yes, ma'am." Isabella assures.
" Yes if you don't want to. Come on, let's just eat, Grace. Mama's hungry too, she hasn't had time to eat." Agatha invited Grace to eat.
" Bell, I'll take Papih first, yeah!? If Papih siuman, let me know immediately." Garce entrusts Rizal to Isabella. Although Isabella is the son of Rizal, but as a wife, Grace is also obliged to take care of Rizal especially in the condition of Rizal is still not conscious as it is today.
" Yes" Isabella said before Grace and Agatha left her in front of the ICU.
