Sharing Love: My Husband Married Without My Permission

15. Scratches Wounds

The sound of a ticking clock sounded in the ears. The silent night made even a small voice sound clear. In fact, the sound of rapid footsteps from outside the room was heard until then the sound disappeared again.

I haven't closed my eyes yet. Often glance towards the clock on the wall and then turn towards the door. However, the door had never opened since his hasty departure.

It's been almost eleven o'clock in the evening, it doesn't feel possible if he'll come back here. In fact, there was no news from him at all. My phone was just a bag dweller, I did not release it again after the call from Mas Hilman earlier.

I folded my hands on the bed next to my mother's, not wishing for her to come here. Let him come or not. I think I should learn not to care about him.

I sighed violently then started to bow my head over my folded two hands. After that, I started to close my eyes.

The gentle rubbing on my head kept me from sleeping. It feels very disturbing when this body feels tired. I opened my eyes lazily.

"Mother?!" When I opened my eyes, my mother smiled at me. His face was not as pale as last night.

I rubbed these two eyes until I could clearly see the atmosphere outside that was starting to light up.

"Why are you here?" ask mother.

"All night call me ma'am, I came straight here. Why do you keep fainting?" My eyes began to heat up until I had no power to hold back these tears. I was a crybaby. Can't hold back my feelings let alone this about mom.

"Ah, mom is not papa. I'm just tired. Just ask for the one who was too worried until you brought mom here. I'm sorry, mom, so make you sad, Yu." Mom rubbed my cheeks continuously while a smile on her face. I held my mother's hand and kissed her palm several times.

The doctor came to stop my action to my mother. "Mbak Ayu is here? Since when?" the doctor asked as he walked closer to us.

"I was here last night, doctor. Pity Sinta for waiting for mom all night." The doctor nodded at my answer.

"How's Mom doing now?" ask the doctor to my mother. Mother smiled as she raised her body which was leaning against the head of her gurney. I helped my mother to put a pillow on her back.

"Well, I'm good, Doctor. Thank you." Thank you."

"I'll check on you, Mom, for a second." The doctor asked permission to examine her. I moved away from my mother to make room for the doctor. The doctor immediately did his job well. I can only see what the doctor did to me.

"Later to eat with the sisters is okay?" ask the doctor about Mom. "I asked permission also to go to my room." The doctor smiled kindly at my mother.

"Yes the doctor."

"Mbak Ayu can go to my room?" ask the doctor.

"Yes Doctor, but I go to the toilet first. I just woke up." I talked while covering my mouth, afraid that the doctor would smell my mouth smell bad as a result of just waking up. The doctor smiled graciously and nodded his head. The doctor went outside while I went to the bathroom.

"Yes, good doctor." Mom suddenly spoke like that when I just wiped my face with a towel.

"If only you had another daughter, you'd have paired her with this doctor." Mom chuckles. I shook my head.

"Yes already. Just ask the mother to match with the doctor. Sinta's mother's son too." I'm chuckling at Mom now. "Welcome to the doctor's office first yes, ma'am." I said, but before leaving I grabbed my mother's glass for me to drink. Thirsty and also .. to be more convincing if the smell of my mouth will not make the interlocutor faint.

"Doctor." I greeted the doctor while closing the door. The doctor smiled as he hinted with his hand for me to sit in front of him.

"Yu you've been here two days. Shouldn't you go home? Hilman kesiha loh Yu, no one takes care of." Mom protested while I was cooking lunch for mom.

I turned my head without stopping the pace of my hand stirring the vegetable soup in the pot.

"It's okay, Mom. Ayu already called Mas Hilman and Mas Mas Hilman did not mind Ayu here until Bu healed." I turned my eyes back to the vegetables I cooked, taste the sauce from the vegetable spoon. I'm not lying about this. I did call Mas Hilman and he said I could take care of mom. Ah my mind, sometimes thinking strange things with the permission he gave me. Maybe you understand what I mean.

"But pity loh Hilman. You were staying here too often and it wasn't good Yu. Hilman is alone at home no one takes care of him. The married woman should take care of the husband."

"Bu can't really talk about it, Mom is sick and Ayu wants to take care of Mom. Mom's driving Ayu out?" I was looking up at Mom.

"Not Yu. I'm just saying that Hilman pity being left with you. He's your husband. I'm just not happy with Hilman you left him to take care of mom here." Mom's voice sounded sad. Then I realized something that maybe my words were too harsh with Mom earlier.

"Sorry Ayu Mother. Ayu accidentally snapped at Mom earlier." I knelt before my mother, Mother's tired face with a weak condition I shouldn't have done that to her.

She rubbed my hair a few times with a smile on her lips. "It's okay, after lunch you better go home. Not that I want to throw you out, but it's not good to leave your husband for long." Mother advised, I just nodded.

After lunch I returned home on my bike. It feels hard to leave mom with Sinta, but how else do you also stubborn for me to go home when I still want to take care of mom.

"I don't want to!" There was an exclamation coming from behind as I opened the door of the unlocked house.

"I don't want to eat that! I'm nauseous, Mas. I'm not strong!!" Exclaim that voice again which I heard in a slightly irritated tone.

"Hana. Please, please do eat. Since this morning you have eaten nothing. I'm afraid that there's nothing with you and our son!" I stopped stepping this foot to hear Mas Hilman's words just now being heard pleading with the woman. This heart hurts so much to hear it. The last sentence made me feel claustrophobic and hard to breathe.
