Sharing Love: The Suffering of the Second Wife

Other Things

Inside the room, Nadia and Harith's uncle fall asleep on the sofa. Uncle Harith who sat while hugging Nadia who was asleep on her lap. The hospital immediately became crowded. Nadia wriggled, almost fell if uncle Harits' big hand was not quick to block her.

"Mas!" lirih Nadia while holding the hand of uncle Harith who grabbed his body. The man's eyes opened tired, he looked at Nadia and nodded in response to her call.

"What's wrong?" As the two sat down, Nadia dropped her head on her husband's shoulder. His mouth was wide open, throwing air away.

"Hunger, Mas." whispered Nadia softly and timidly. The hunger that had been lost due to panic came over, now he again attacked asking for his right.

"Are there food vendors at this hour? It's almost dawn." Uncle Harits glanced at the clock that was coiling in his hand.

Nadia sighed, coming to see the clock that looked slow as it ticked. The clock's needle points at number three. He began to doubt. No more minimarkets open.

"Let's find it, you're here." Uncle Harith left Nadia.

"Be careful, Mom!" He nodded and closed the door slowly. Outside alternating uncle Harith's men on guard, there was also his assistant who came last night when he heard Winda was rushed to the hospital.

Uncle Harith did not leave, he asked his assistant to find food. He went back into the room and found Nadia standing next to Rima's bed.

The man approached his wife and hugged her from behind.

"They'll all be fine" he whispered. Nadia leaned on her husband's chest, her hands were coiled against the hand of uncle Harith.

"Look at her innocent face, Rima is often sickly these days. I don't know what he's hiding from me. I felt Rima was hiding something big from me, but every time I asked, she just answered nothing and switched the conversation quickly." Nadia took a deep breath and threw it away in just one jolt.

"Don't think too much, maybe there's nothing Rima has hidden from you. It's just your feelings that worry them so much" said Uncle Harits. He dropped his chin on Nadia's frail shoulder. Kissed her shoulder with all the love she had.

"Master!" Uncle Harith took off his arms, he went to meet his assistant who brought him food.

Nadia followed and sat waiting on the sofa. Just sit down, it's okay.

"Mas also ate, Mas hasn't eaten anything from last night either." He opened the package and devoured it together.

"Mas, what about the culprit? Is it true that he's still home?" nadia asked as she remembered about the culprit who sowed poison in food.

"He's gone, and the police are handling him. The police investigated and found the fingerprints of the suspect. They're chasing the perpetrator. Mas want the perpetrator to be caught immediately," replied Uncle Harits a little lie.

Morning comes to give hope to every heart that is desperate in the path of his life. The warm feeling he delivered spread into the nerve tissue of every human being. That's why the morning is a great time to sunbathe.

Some patients have been allowed to go home, and some still have to get special treatment from the medical side until they have to stay longer there to make sure their condition recovers as before.

"Mom!" A rhyming voice called out to Nadia, Winda himself had moved the room and guarded uncle Harits' assistant.

Nadia who had just come out of the bathroom, quickly came to Rima who was moving restlessly in her bed.

"Five?" he held onto Rima's sweaty hands. Nadia rubbed her forehead which also let out a rough sweat.

"Sir Nadia! Mama!" racau Rima was still with her eyes tightly closed.

"Five! Awake, darling! It's Mommy here. Open your eyes, Rima!" Vibrating Nadia called out her foster sister's name.

He kissed Rima's trembling and moist hands.

"Mas, get a doctor! Rima was conscious, but had yet to open her eyes!" nadia's pinta to Harits' uncle who just walked into the room. He returned home to take Mom and Aunt who had been allowed to go home.

Uncle Harits is back out calling the medical team. Nadia moved as she felt a gentle pull from her husband. He wept in the arms of the man spilling unease in his heart.

"What if something happens to Rima, Mom? What do I have to say to Mamah for not taking care of the child she's been raising since she was a child." Nadia sniffles.

Afraid loss. That was all that was now in Nadia's mind. He was still crying when the doctor had finished checking on Rima.

"How, Doctor?" Nadia wiped the tears on her cheek when she heard the voice of uncle Harits who asked the doctor.

"Thank God, Rima's sister's condition has stabilized. He was already fine, and had made it through his critical period. You take it easy, Madam, your sister is fine." The doctor smiled reassuringly at Nadia who was staring at Rima from where she was standing.

"Five!" He took his foot to walk quickly closer to Rima's bed.

"Mr? How's Ma'am doing? Are mom and baby brother okay? Ma'am isn't as intoxicated as we are, is he?" cecar Rima for a moment Nadia had been nearby.

Her pale face seemed to worry Nadia. He glanced at his adoptive brother's stomach and breathed a sigh of relief while it was still bulging.

"Alhamdulillah!" thankfully.

"Stupid!" Nadia hugged Rima and cried with relief, "don't think too much of Ma'am. You were in a coma, you scared Mbak." Nadia was cluttering in her arms.

Feeling the warmth of love, Rima hugged her back. She cried, like this is family. When he himself worried about Nadia, his foster brother was very worried about her condition.

Nadia breaks down a hug, rubbing Rima's cheek before kissing her forehead.

"You must eat, Mother of bribes." Nadia took the tray and hugged it. Rima nodded before opening her mouth receiving the first bribe from the pregnant woman.

"Darling, I have to go. There was a meeting at the office this morning. You're okay with staying, aren't you?" Uncle Harith came from outside and approached his wife.

"It's okay, Mom. I will wait here for Mas to accompany Rima. I'll come back here later, okay?" nadia said as she looked up at her husband.

The man nodded, he turned his gaze to Rima who was sitting leaning on her bed.

"How are you doing, Rima? Is it better?" uncle Harith rubbed the girl's head like an older brother who would protect her.

Rima gave a small nod, she held back the cry of novelty in her heart. Is this how he got the attention of an older brother?

"I've been better, brother. It was no longer nauseous" he looked at uncle Harith who was standing beside him.

"spent food! Otherwise your brother will continue to cry because his sister is sick." Rima smiled as she nodded obediently.

Uncle Harith kissed Nadia's head, cupping her face before landing a kiss on her forehead.

"Mas go, huh? Don't go anywhere, if you want something just ask those who stand in front." Uncle Harith hugged him tightly for a moment after getting a nod of his head from his wife.

Nadia grabs her husband's hand and kisses him with reverence. His face was a little bright that morning.

"Be careful, Mom!" He returns to feed Rima after uncle Harith leaves the room.

The man's phone rang, the police called last night.

[Sir, we found something else from our investigation. Can you go to the office today?]

Uncle Harith stiffened, what else did the police find other than the fingerprints of his ex-wife.

"Good, Sir! I'll try to come as soon as possible."
