Romantic Husband (Stupid Sure Met) By Meisy T

Taking Care of the In-Law at the Hospital

"Where is Mother, Dad?" asked Ridho after we were in the room.

"Don't hear it, Dho."

Dad's face looks tired. Looks like he was immediately busy taking care of Mommy after a day of work.

"What's the sick mother, Dad?"

"Mother has acute Magh, Dho. He almost fainted in the office. Good thing his friend called me quickly."

"Tonight stay here, Dad?"

"Yes. The doctor said look at the progress tomorrow. If your condition has improved, you can go home."

I just quietly listened to Ridho and his father's conversation. Mother looks closed her eyes, maybe the influence of drugs makes her sleepy.

Ridho nodded in understanding. "Dad if you want to go home first change ga papa clothes, let us kaga Mommy."

"A minute, Dho. I'm gonna take the prescription to the pharmacy, yeah."

"Yes, Dad."

Dad walked out of the room. Shortly thereafter, the officer who brought the food in.

"Thank you, Mba," said Ridho, before the officer left.

Mother opened her eyes to hear our conversation. I washed my hands to the bathroom intending to feed Mother. When he returned, Ridho was talking to his mother.

"Mother must have been late to eat, so until sick gini."

Mother just stared lethargicly at Ridho. I approached, then grabbed a place to eat that was placed on the nightstand.

"Eat first, Bun. I'm a bribe," I bargained.

Mother just stared at a glance. I try not to be influenced by his attitude. Slowly bring the spoon containing the porridge closer to the Mother's mouth.

"Come, Bun!" tegur Ridho's.

Mother also opened her mouth. At the fourth bribe, Mother waved her hand refusing to eat.

"A little more, Bun," persuaded Ridho.

My mother-in-law shook her head slowly. I returned the dining room to the nightstand. Ridho takes water and helps you drink.

A few moments later, Dad came back. Help Mother take medicine, then leave to go home. In addition to changing clothes, I also want to take some necessary items while in the hospital.

Five minutes later, Mom and Dad came to visit. They told me they had met Dad up ahead. My parents just sat there for a while trying to understand that you want to rest.

"Hopefully get well soon, Mba," said Mother sincerely.

"Yes. Thanks, yeah."

I also took them out of the room. When you go back in, Mother has closed her eyes.

"You take care of Mother, yes. I want to pray Ashar."

"Yes, Mum."

After Ridho died, I took the device out of the bag. Expel saturation by skating in cyberspace. I read a few short stories in the literacy group I was following.

When Ridho came back, I put the device back in the bag. Ridho sat next to me.

"I'll take you home when I get back, yeah."

"I'm not coming, Mom?"

"Ga. Later you will be sick, the condition is not fit anymore. Short the thesis test, right?"

I nodded my head too. "Thank you, Mum."

Ridho answered my words with a smile. Gratitude filled my heart.

Nearly an hour later, I returned to the hospital. I helped her compile the items brought from home.

"I'll take Reva home first, Dad. Magrib I'm back."

"Yes, son."

We kissed Dad's hand before we left the room.

Arriving at home, the day was already approaching Magrib. The twilight spray had already adorned the sky that was starting to darken. Ridho rushed to take a shower and prepared for the mosque.

***

The room felt quiet without Ridho's presence. This is the first time I have slept alone without my husband. It seems there is something lacking.

I tried to close my eyes a few times. However, the sleepiness did not come. The ringing of the message made me a little surprised.

I also grabbed the device on the table. A new message from Ridho was read.

[You haven't slept?]

[Not yet. How's mother?]

[Again rest. What are you doing again?]

[Sleeping aja.]

[Obviously think of me.]

My lips curled up a smile reading a message from Ridho. Fuck up! His confidence is high.

[Ih... UH!]

[Hehe. Don't stay up, yeah. I'm home tomorrow morning.]

[Yes. Take a break too, gih!]

[Good, Honey. I love you.]

I smiled as I read his last message. Wanting to reply with 'I love you, too', but feeling awkward. I finally sent him two heart emoticons.

After returning the device to the table, I tried to sleep again. The happiness of replying to a message with Ridho made my heart become calmer. It didn't take me long to fall asleep.

***

Ridho knocked on the door and said his greetings at exactly six. I hurried to welcome him home. The longing made me want to quickly see his face.

After accompanying him to breakfast, I drove Ridho forward. Ridho went to the office. There is urgent work, also want to ask permission directly to the leader.

I went back inside the house when Ridho's bike went out of sight. Continue the untouched housework. Mother accompanied Father to the store because of the condition of the Father who was not so good.

My work was done when the clockwork of the wall pointed to the number ten. After taking a short break, I took a shower and got ready for the hospital. I wear a blue robe and a matching headscarf.

After sending a message to Ridho, I locked the door of the house, then turned on the motor.

Ten minutes away on the highway, I arrived at the hospital. Mother was sleeping when I entered the room. Ridho smiled, then patted the spot next to him asking me to sit down.

"You didn't cape back and forth here?" asked Ridho, when I was next to him.

"Ngga, really. Only intermittently also in the area.

"I pray Zuhur bentar, yes. It wasn't yet because Dad wasn't home."

"Yes, Mum."

Ridho moved out of the room. I took out a novel that I deliberately carried in the bag. Shortly thereafter Ridho returned with some of his friends. Looks like his co-worker, looking from their same uniform as Ridho.

Mother woke up hearing their voices were quite crowded. My eyes were fixed on the figure of the woman among Ridho's friends. Right, it's Nisa.

They seem to be one place of work. My chest is back claustrophobic knowing the reality that lies before my eyes. Why doesn't Ridho ever tell?

He smiled when he saw me. I returned his smile half-heartedly.

"Mother is healthy?" he asked after kissing my mother-in-law's hand.

"Nisa? Thank goodness healthy. You have not played home for a long time," said Mother enthusiastically.

"Maclum, Bun. I'm busy at work."

Nisa put the fruit parcel on the nightstand, then took the orange fruit. "Looked fruit yeah, Bun."

"Yes." Yeah."

Nisa feeds Mother while telling her about her activities now. Mommy looks happy to chat with Nisa. Instantly my heart throbbed. I went out of the room.

Ridho who was chatting with his friend realized I came out soon after. I just kept quiet as he approached and grabbed my hand.

"I want to go home" I said, then tried to let go of his hand.

"Rev ...."

As much as I could, I held back tears from falling.
