"Ah belly..." Joelin felt pain in her nice stomach before suddenly her gaze darkened.
\*\*\*
Mickey breathed out hard, the pile of files before him as if it had not diminished at all.
"There's still a lot of paperwork to be done today" the man murmured, his goal of double-checking all the financial statements of the past few years was to find out the mastermind behind the fraud going on at the company.
drt...drt.the man's phone vibrated, stealing Mickey's attention.
"Hallo... Goedan?"
"What's the situation over there, Mickey?"
"We're still trying to track down the culprit."
"Alright, let me know immediately if you have found an answer." said Goedan.
"Okay, take it easy Goedan. We'll handle it as much as possible."
"Hahaha.your way of speaking is like sales." Goedan laughed at Mickey's words.
"You can still laugh at me in such a precarious situation?"
"Company problems remain problems to be solved, but do not forget to live sane and happy. Don't tell me you're in the office right now." Goedan said at length.
"Yes, I'm in the office."
"Mickey, you're really... Did you forget your wife was pregnant? She still has to take care of Lucy."
"I remember, don't remind me of my wife. You take care of your wife." replied Mickey.
"Go home, it's Saturday. Enjoy time with your family."
"You, you,..." Mickey's sentence was interrupted as the connection was decided from Goedan's side.
"Bas with this child..." Mickey grumbled while watching his phone.
"Five calls from Joelin? What's up?" Mickey frowned watching the list of missed calls on his phone as the man tried to dial his wife's number many times.
Mickey had contacted Joelin nearly ten times, but there was no answer at all. The man looked at his phone with an anxious look. The secretary who realized the boss's uneasiness chose to force herself to focus on the report before her.
"drt...drt...."
My Wife called..
Mickey immediately swiped the green button on his phone screen.
"Hallo darling... What's up?"
"Good day, are you the husband of Miss Joelin?" a foreign voice greeted Mickey from across the street.
"Yes, I'm alone."
"Sir, please excuse us from the hospital..."
"What?????" Mickey immediately grabbed his wallet and ran out of the room.
\*\*\*
In the hospital...
"Doctor, how's my wife doing?" mickey hurriedly approached the doctor who had just walked out of Joelin's room.
"Are you the husband of a patient named Joelin?" ask the woman.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Let's talk in my room."
Mickey's heart was pounding, he was really anxious about the condition of Joelin and the baby. To the extent that the man forgot to check on Lucy the princess.
In the doctor's room, Mickey and the middle-aged woman sat face to face.
"First, I will convey the condition of your daughter. Lucy...."
"Lucy's? What's wrong with Lucy?" mickey asked confused because no one had ever mentioned Lucy.
"What happened to Lucy and Joelin doctor?" Mickey tries to hold back and his feelings.
"Lucy's a common fever. It's just, we suspect your daughter has dengue fever. But so far we're not completely sure if this diagnosis is right or wrong, we're going to do the next test to find out Lucy's condition."
"Do whatever it takes to heal my daughter doc.." Mickey said softly.
"hhhhmmmmh", the doctor let out a long sigh.
"What about Joelin?" ask Mickey impatiently.
"Mrs Joelin is pregnant. He should not have been under pressure that would have caused him stress. But it seems not only stress, after the examination we found that the nutritional intake in his body is very low. You should pay more attention to the condition of your wife. Moreover, during pregnancy, well-fulfilled nutrition is important for fetal development. Fortunately the bleeding is not too bad and we can help the mother and her fetus, but in the future I hope the same thing does not happen again" said the doctor at length.
"What do you mean by malnutrition?" Mickey, who felt his wife was not short of food intake, did not accept the doctor's statement.
"Maybe the diet of Ms. Joelin for some time recently was irregular" replied the doctor making a conclusion.
"I know, Joelin is the kind of person who cares a lot about health. What's the matter exactly?" Mickey asked inwardly.
"For a while the patient will be hospitalized for several days. You can take care of the inpatient procedure." said the doctor let Mickey out of his room.
Mickey left the doctor's room with mixed feelings. As if he had fallen on the stairs anyway, that was how he felt at this moment. Not done with the office business, while Joelin and Lucy entered the hospital. Mickey felt his head ache at the thought of all the circumstances now.
\*\*\*
Mickey was accompanying the wife who had not woken up from her sleep since. Lucy's test results are out, and the good news is quite a relief. The little baby was just an ordinary fever, so Mickey could breathe a little relief.
Joelin opened her eyes in a slow motion, light now filling her retina.
"Darling, are you awake?" mickey's voice greeted Joelin's ears.
"Oh, are you here? Where have you been since I called you? isn't your job and secretary more important?" Joelin asked in her heart, reluctant to talk to Mickey.
"Hey, why baby? why are you so quiet while glaring at me?" Mickey who does not know sit the problem is confused with the strike action wife.
"You ate yes, I bought some fruit and some food. What do you want to eat, baby?"
Joelin was still silent, her hands moving to feel the abdomen.
"Ah, thank goodness. My baby is still here." Joelin muttered realizing that her stomach was still protruding.
"Your doctor says you should eat regularly and well. This doctor just exists, he doesn't know you're the best for the gini thing that goes into your body." Mickey was still babbling while peeling fruit for Joelin.
"Ah, I forgot not to have dinner and late breakfast in the morning because I have to take care of Lucy." Joelin murmured inwardly.
"Lucy...?!!" as if remembering something Joelin exclaimed loudly while trying to get out of bed.
"Arrrrgh.." The pain strikes him as the infusion needle attached to the woman's hand is drawn haphazardly.
"Darling, relax... Don't worry Lucy's fine." Mickey who saw the wife moving frantically immediately hugged Joelin's body.
"Lucy's... Mike. Lucy's sick..." Joelin sobbed sadly, for a moment she forgot her anger at her husband.
"Lucy is fine. He's on break. Now you're focused on your recovery." Pinta Mickey still hugs the wife's body.
"I don't want to. I want to see Lucy.." Joelin yells out a protest at Mickey while sobbing.
"Okay. I'll get a wheelchair. You are patient, dear. Wait here." Mickey immediately ran out of Joelin's treatment room.
Joelin who was upset with Mickey plus worried that Lucy chose to ignore the man's request to wait on the patient's bed.
Joelin pulled out an infusion needle that pierced her veins. Even though her head was still heavy, the woman did not care. He just wanted to hug Lucy and make sure the little girl was safe. Joelin got out of the bed. With staggered steps he walked towards the door of the room. After nearly ten steps left his room, darkness again attacked Joelin.
"YOUTDOOR...!!!" Mickey who was not far from there screamed hysterically while running towards the wife's body lying on the floor.
