Akemi's sincerity is boundless by space and time. The noble-hearted man had to let his wife go every day to care for the man he had been close to. And strangely enough, Akemi never once opposed Shella. He even remembered his wife every day to go to the hospital.
While frankly in Shella's mind, there was a deep sense of guilt when she had to spend time with Ibrahim. Although his obligations as a wife are never negligent. However, as a human being who is endowed with the heart, of course, Shella did not ignore her guilt.
"Do you mind if I visit Ibrahim every day?" Shella asked as she twirled her finger over Akemi's stomach forming a pattern.
"Of course not dear" replied Akemi.
"Why don't you ever protest me every time I see Brother Ibrahim? does your heart never feel any pain?" Shella's question made Akemi think for a moment. If you can be honest, there is jealousy stored in Akemi's heart. However, it was not jealousy towards Ibrahim, but rather towards Shella's own attitude. Akemi thought, if one day she gets sick, Shella will take care of her like Ibrahim?
"I was just thinking, if I were in Ibrahim's position, you would take care of me like that?" Shella shut Akemi's mouth when the question she never thought of just popped up without permission.
"Why are you asking like that? do you want to torture me? I could die if you got sick. I mean, of course I'll take care of you with all my heart. But if you have to be sick like that, then I will also feel the pain. I'm even more sick than you. You are half my life. If half my life is sick, then I can't survive" Shella said.
Akemi takes off the hand of Shella in her mouth while smiling warmly.
"I'll be fine, unless you leave me for no reason and without a message, then I'll die right then and there" Akemi replied earnestly.
"Why should we discuss this? I don't want to continue this conversation. I don't want to dream" said Shella.
"All right, let's end this conversation. We better get ready to move," Akemi replied.
"Wait," Shella chirped while holding Akemi's body that wanted to get out of bed.
"What's wrong?" ask Akemi flat.
"Do you not want to tell me something about Brother Ibrahim? I mean, at least check me into that place. Or say a sentence that shows that you're jealous" said Shella. Yes, honestly Shella wanted Akemi to express her pent-up feelings. Because it is impossible if the man did not have any jealousy at all for Ibrahim.
"Do you want me to be jealous and forbid you?" Akemi asked with a frown.
"Yes, that's how it is" Shella replied. Akemi just smiled sweetly.
"Go baby, I'm waiting for you here. I was jealous of Ibrahim. I would lie if I didn't feel jealous. But my trust overcame that feeling. Because you are a woman to believe in. Then what should I check? if my wife had a million loves for me?" lang Akemi while poking soft nose pointed Shella.
As soon as Shella hugged Akemi's body, she cried when she heard her husband's words.
"I'm sorry for hurting you a few days ago. I was so selfish with my words. I don't think about how hurt you were when I blamed myself for stopping fighting with Ibrahim. I'm so naive and stupid, I'm like an ungrateful woman. I'm sorry, please forgive me. Hiks, hiks, hiks," Shella said as she sobbed regretfully.
"You don't have to apologize, baby, I know you don't intend to hurt me. You are just shaken by Ibrahim's condition. What's more, your relationship has just started as brothers. I can understand how deep your heart hurts when I know that fact. You don't have to think about that anymore, do you? go, I'll wait for you" Akemi said sincerely.
"All right, I'll be back for you baby."
Akemi finally releases Shella to meet Ibrahim, the mad man who worships the love of Shella. I don't know what the other guy did to Shella if it wasn't Akemi. Only the chosen man can give his wife to care for another man. Even his own brother. Didn't they ever have a relationship? although the relationship should not occur because of blood ties.

Upon Shella's arrival at the Mental Hospital, she finds Ibrahim unconscious. The man had convulsions after chemotherapy. Shella panicked, and so did Nisa and her husband. The two middle-aged parents were no less panicked than Shella. How not, the condition of Ibrahim this morning is fine. However, after undergoing chemotherapy, she became convulsed and eventually unconscious.
"Why can it happen like this Auntie?" Shella asked with a panicked look on her face.
"Tante doesn't know either, son, he was fine this morning. I don't know what made it like this. The doctor said, after chemo he'll be fine. Even though there is no hope of recovery, torch, torch, torch" Nisa said as she sobbed.
"No hope of recovery? is Brother Ibrahim really unable to survive and return to normal? did he have to leave this world in a state of concern? no, that can't happen. I have not completed my duties as his sister. I still have to put her together with her Mom and Dad, "inner Shella.
"Tante, when did Brother Ibrahim develop a tumor? I know he's a strong man. How could he have to experience this all Auntie? there must have been something wrong with her examination at that time, definitely Auntie." Shella seemed to be trying to deny all the reality that happened. He still does not believe that a man as strong as Ibrahim should suffer from the deadly disease.
"It's all because it's our fault Shella, you that caused Ibrahim to suffer like this. If only we had been a little quicker to tell you about your relationship, or we could have accepted your existence as Ibrahim's younger brother back then, maybe this would never have happened" Ibrahim's father said.
Shella did not answer her Om speech, she just sobbed bitterly in her silence. Although confirming the statements of both Abraham's parents, but Shella did not want to make the two husband and wife feel deep guilt.
Regret always comes later. In front of the name of registration. Yes, both of Ibrahim's parents have registered their regrets for years. And now there is nothing left but to enjoy the regret itself.
To be continued.
