Sharing Love: My Husband Married Without My Permission

76. Aifa

Bruk!

"Aww!" I walked while thinking, not looking at the road well so it hit someone.

"Sorry ...."

I rubbed my forehead which hurt from hitting his back. I was too busy with my thoughts that I became careless like this.

"sorry. I didn't mean it" I told him.

Well, it feels so embarrassed because many eyes are staring at me.

"It's okay, Ma'am. Mommy all right?" ask a woman I just hit her back.

"Eh, Ma'am that time, right? Who met in the park?" ask the woman. I immediately looked towards him. Yeah, I know this woman. I don't know him either, but I've met him.

Beside him was an old woman sitting in a wheelchair, looking very weak. I estimate her age is seventy more, visible from the skin of her face and her hands are already wrinkled. The infusan hose was attached to his arm.

"Eh, yes. Right enough. Gara's babysitter, right?"

"Yes. Ma'am how are you?" ask him back.

"Alhamdulillah good. What are you doing here?"

"Oh, here. Oma was sick, from yesterday she did not want to eat. That's why his body is limp." Appoint the young lady to the figure of the old lady beside her.

The old woman looked at me silently, slightly tilted her head then smiled.

"Dia!" exclaimed the grandmother with a weak tone. He shook my hand in a slow motion.

"Aifa, grandson!" The grandmother said again. A glowing face is visible now, not like before.

"Eh. No, Grandma."

"Dia!" Grandma kept on exclaiming even though I said that I was not the person she meant.

"Miss. Not Ma'am Aifa. Her name is Ayu Ma'am!" The woman said to Grandma close to her ears.

"Nephew, Nira. Aifa." That's all Grandma said. Just keep saying Aifa's name.

"Mbak Ayu, forgive Oma, yes. Oma is senile" said the woman called Grandma with Nira. I smiled and let Grandma touch my hand.

"It's okay."

"Oh yes, Ma'am Ayu what is the matter in this hospital?" ask Nira.

"My mother is in surgery."

"Ooh. Oh gosh. Hope the operation is good."

"thank you.

I circulated my gaze around, suddenly hoping to meet the figure of the little boy. Who else if not Gara.

"How can there be no?" my many. Nira shook her head making me a little disappointed.

"At home, Ma'am. It is not good if you often go to the hospital," he replied.

I nodded my head hearing his answer.

"Mbak Ayu, I'm so sorry. We have to go back to our room. It's almost afternoon. Oma, go back to the room, huh?" talk to Nira now to her grandmother.

Oma shook her head.

"Aifa's coming with Oma, yeah." Grandma pulled my hand, her voice sounded weak.

"Oma, Ma'am Ayu again no business can not come to Oma's room." Nira again persuaded Grandma gently, but the old woman did not want to listen. I finally relented because Grandma didn't want to let go of me at all.

Grandma's room was very large and also very comfortable, as this was a VIP room. In stark contrast to Mom's room, I booked first class for Mom's inpatient room, so that Mom would feel comfortable while recovering later.

Nira told me that Grandma is difficult to eat now and also often can not sleep at night. Grandma also talked a lot thinking I was Aifa. I only responded to Grandma's conversation with a lot of smiles, because I didn't know who Aifa was.

"Aifa is Gara's mother" whispered Nira.

"Oh." That was the only response I gave Nira.

Grandma kept telling me about how happy she was to meet me, so happy that I took care of her, also because I was bribing her.

The clock on the wall I saw the numbers increase. In less than thirty minutes, your operation should be complete. I whispered to Nira if I should go back to the operating room.

"Oma, Ma'am Aifa wants to go to the toilet first" Nira whispered to Grandma. I'm getting up.

"Later here again, right? Gara's father must be happy to see Aifa again!" ask Grandma with a heavy face. Hold her hand tightly on my shirt.

"Yes, Oma. Ifa will be here again, yes. Ifa couldn't stand it!" me thronging him. Grandma nodded I immediately said goodbye to Grandma and also Nira.

"Thank you, Mother." whispered to me before I stood up.

"Together." I returned to the operating room immediately. In the middle of the road I met Sinta who was frantically looking for me. Sinta ran and immediately nagged.

"She was looking in the toilet! Said Mr. Ma'am to the toilet I was looking into nothing!" he yelled in annoyance.

"I'm also calling Mommy, not picked up where the hell? We're all worried! I thought Mommy was okay!"

"I'm sorry, there was a slight disturbance" I told Sinta. We ran to Mom's operating room. Hilman is no more. Yu Tarni and Pak Handoyo looked worried about me. They both asked, and I answered what happened.

"Oh my goodness, I called earlier Mbak was even bribing a grandmother? I went back and forth to check Mbak into the toilet and find Mbak. Afraid of being kidnapped by Mas Hilman!" exclaim Sinta.

"Huss, you're a bitch! How did you kidnap everything?!" Sinta's mother now just as she cried out to the child, hitting her child's arm a little hard.

"So want to come back here, but the grandmother instead narik Mbak, how dong?" I feel guilty for disappearing. Didn't get to tell Sinta because I thought I was just taking her to her room.

"Yes already. You eat, Yu. The others have eaten, you are left who have not," said Yu Tarni while giving the package of white crackle to me. I'm nodding. Hungry too because I haven't had lunch yet, while it's late in the afternoon.

Dining in the hospital is not too fun, especially with the situation of Mother who is in there. The worry made me eat only a little.

It's been over for thirty minutes, but the lights haven't gone out either. I'm starting to feel anxious. Yu Tarni and Sinta always tried to calm me down who was restless.

I can't say anything. Just shut up and go back to praying and wishing the best for Mom in there.

"Bak Ayu!" Calling out another voice shocked me and the others. Nuri is seen coming closer with a few bags of crackles in hand.

"What's the matter, Nuri?" my question is, now get up and get closer to Gara's nanny.

"This is from Father. As a thank you for feeding Oma. You said sorry for not being able to convey directly because he had to quickly go back to work again," he said. Nuri isn't here long, she has to go back to Oma's room because Gara's father can't take long.

Sinta opened the package of crackles that I kept on the bench. She smiled happily when she found a brownie cake inside.
