Cantika blinked her eyes in the morning. The figure he first saw was a bewokan man who was still sleeping while hugging his waist. The corner of his lips was on its back, his eyes were incessantly staring at the man. His heart was filled with blooming flowers. Happy, very....! It was completely unexpected that in such a short time, he would love a man named Anas.
Her delicate hand rubbed her husband's cheek. His smile vanished changed into a surprised expression when he felt if there was anything different about Anas. Cantika put her palm on her husband's forehead. "That's hot. At this hour he's still sleeping." He sat down and covered Anas to the neck. Then go to the bathroom to wash his face. Move to the kitchen to get warm water. Go back into the bedroom and look for a cloth to compress.
Cantika hurriedly approached her husband. Sit on the edge of the bed and keep a container of warm water on his lap because there is no table. With a swift hand put a small towel into the warm water, then put it on Anas' forehead. When the compress felt cold, he dipped the towel again to make it warm. Sticking again at the man's forehead. It repeats itself several times.
"Where is this ? The heat hasn't come down." His feelings were filled with worry. He decided to call his family doctor to come to the house immediately.
After a long wait, the doctor appeared. Cantika stood watching with an ungodly feeling.
"So, how's my husband doing ?"
"Cantika, has your husband been sapping lately ?"
"He was busy every day. Clean the house, cook and sell."
"Huh, clean up the house ? Why did you do it until your husband did it ?"
"Ehmmm, it's him who's too good. I didn't tell you at all."
The doctor named Bram was shaking his head. He was a friend of Cantika as a child. Although not the same age but both are quite familiar because in addition to friends, Bram is his neighbor.
"Cantika, you should have cleaned up the house. Pity him if he has to handle everything."
"Yes, I know...But my husband really is okay, right ?!"
"No problem, he just needs a few days' rest. I've been injecting vitamins just now, and this is the prescription drug you should get." Give a piece of paper and immediately taken Cantika.
"Thank you, sorry ngerepotin."
"Nothing, I'm saying I'm going home now Take good care of your husband !"
Cantika nodded her head then stepped behind Doctor Bram. He just drove up to the terrace.
"So, be careful on the road !"
"Yes.... Assalamualaikum." The doctor quickly left the place.
"Waalaikumussalam" he answered. "Mom..sorry I want to ask." Cantika rather shouted as she approached a middle-aged woman who was passing by in front of the house.
The woman stopped her steps, "What's wrong ?"
"Which area's hotpot, which side is it, huh ?"
"There's near the alley in front, next to the wholesaler. Why is it ?"
"I'd like to buy some medicine for Anas."
"Anas is sick ? You better go with him, let me buy the medicine."
"Don't Mom, I don't want to take it."
"It's okay, where's the recipe ? I happen to be going forward too. You take care of Anas, and I'll bring the medicine here." Speak with kindness.
Although it was not good, Cantika accepted the mother's help. She cannot leave her husband alone at home in pain.
"This is Mom, thank you in advance. Sorry to be so troublesome." Produce a paper containing a doctor's prescription.
"Either. Anas has also been helping me a lot, so it's only natural that I help him too."
"Mom, I forgot. I'll take the money inside." Willing to step but prevented by the mother.
"Later, let it be from the mother first the money. You better get inside."
"Together." The woman stepped up too.
Cantika went back into the room and sat down next to her husband. Stare at the man with anxiety. Rubbing Anas' disheveled hair slowly. "Mas, you're sick because of me. Excuse me...Next time I do all the homework, I'll help you prepare the merchandise."
Anas slightly opened his eyes, his gaze so sweet. "Have you eaten ?" said weak.
"Not yet, how can I eat when you're sick like this." Even when I was sick, I could still think about my stomach. "Mas, I'll buy some porridge for a second. Your stomach needs to be filled before you take the medicine." Anas nodded slowly.

Mira runs into a middle-aged woman while buying porridge. They greeted each other a little.
"Where are you going Mom, seems to be in such a hurry ?" ask the girl with cheeks.
"Mir, I'm going ahead and you're going to the pharmacy."
"Who is sick ?"
"Ohhh, this is actually the mother wants to buy a prescription drug from Anas. I feel sorry for letting his wife go to the pharmacy while Anas is alone at home."
Is Anas sick ? I have to go see him !
"Mom, let me buy that medicine. Coincidentally I also need the same mas Anas."
Finally, the mother agreed to the girl's request. After buying medicine at the Pharmacy, Mira went to a small stall selling chicken porridge. Buy one serving of porridge only and two servings of complete porridge.
The girl stepped again towards Anas' house. Although he knew that the man was married at the moment, but his feelings were strong enough to encourage him to meet Anas. She was so anxious when she found out that the man she loved was sick.
Mira knocked on the door while saying hello. There was no answer from inside. He opened the door and entered slowly. There was no one in the middle room. Is it possible that Anas slept alone in the room ? He did not see Cantika there. There was no voice from the woman.
Mira opened the door of the room a little, It turns out that Anas mas is here. Where is his wife, shouldn't he be waiting for a sick husband ?!
Mira went to the kitchen to store the porridge she brought into the bowl. His feelings made the girl unconscious if her attitude had crossed the line. As he was about to enter the room, his steps stopped. Cantika stood looking at him sharply.
"Wait, what are you doing in this house ?"
"I..cuma would give Anas porridge and also medicine." Down shy.
Cantika approached, "Thank's a lot for your attention, but really don't bother. There will be me as his wife who will always take care of Mas Anas. Mending you go home gihhh...! And the porridge was brought, I bought it in front." Show me the plastic bag he was holding.
"Sorry, then excuse me. But the porridge just eat, baby if it's thrown away."
"Who told you to throw the food away ? I said bring it to your house, free is also stored here. I've bought two servings of porridge, it certainly won't eat. You take it, love who the cake is.." Jutek.
"Okay, I'm sorry. The cure's on the table." Pointing to the table in the middle room with his finger.
"How much is the cure ? let me change."
"Not to be replaced, I'm sincere."
"No...! I don't want to take too much. So how much does all that medicine cost ?"
"Everything.." mentions the nominal.
Cantika took the money from her wallet and then thrust it at the girl. "Ok, thanks. Next time don't go into someone's house without permission !"
"Yes, sorry..." Mira hurriedly left the house with mixed feelings. Shame and heartache too. Is it not the result of his own mistake ?
Cantika is so upset at the girl named Mira. How did he know that Anas was sick ? Uhhmm, must be from the mother that was !
She is more convinced that Mira does like her husband. The girl was so caring and considerate of Anas. But Cantika of course will not allow any pests in his marriage.
