The Bride Who Didn't Miss

CHAPTER 36

Annisa stared gently at the rafka who was holding her hand affectionately, she smiled and felt happy when she saw rafka treating her gently.

" thank God, my husband can finally be gentle and attentive to me. I beg you, O God, that you may open the door of his heart to me so that it may strengthen our marriage and make us partners in the world and the Hereafter amen.

After finishing checking the state of annisa. the doctor walked to his table followed rafka from behind and now he has been sitting in a chair facing in front of the doctor.

" how's annisa doctor?" ask rafka worried

" miss Annisa is fine, she just experienced excessive fear that made her fall unconscious" the doctor explained.

" does annisa not have any other disease doc? I saw her face was pale." rafka asked about Annisa's pale face.

" no, it was only because of her excessive fear that it made her face very pale, enough rest would make her calm back and this was her prescription medicine." the doctor said, handing over a paper with a prescription for annisa.

" well, thank you doc" said rafka while taking her prescription and then greeting the doctor.

rafka returned to hold Annisa's hand gently because she was still anxious about her wife's state that still looked weak.

they walked along intending to get out and leave the hospital but immediately their steps began to stop when someone suddenly called the name rafka.

" the rafka.!!" greet a woman from behind.

rafka turned towards the call and then she saw the figure of a woman she was very familiar with.

" maya," said rafka staring intently at her.

maya walked over rather hastily - approaching the rafka that was almost at the end of the door.

" what are you doing here? mas sick?" said Maya while staring with a worried look.

annisa let go of rafka's handrails and she chose to walk slowly out avoiding their conversation that she did not want to hear.

" nisa," rafka said as she saw Annisa walking herself out leaving her with maya.

" nisa can walk alone bang, brother just continue his conversation let nisa wait in the parking lot." said Annisa while stepping her feet slowly left the place.

maya was silent without turning her head as Annisa spoke, she felt a little jealous when she saw rafka holding a friendly hand of annisa.

" nisa but you..," said rafka who has not spent her sentence and immediately cut by maya.

" it's a mas, just let him wait in the parking lot," said Maya while turning the body rafka facing towards her.

annisa continues to walk slowly until the end of her life she arrived at the car park. at the end of the parking lot there is a seat that is usually used by hospital visitors to sit while waiting for another friend. annisa chose to sit there waiting for her husband to come after her.

" i just felt happiness when my brother was so gentle and gave his attention to me. but now my heart ached again when I saw another woman who looked at my brother attentively and clearly from the look on her face my brother received that attention.

" why are you here? you sick?" ask maya with a worried look.

" i'm not sick" rafka said

" why are you still here? who's sick?" maya asked as she frowned.

" i did nisa here, she passed out at home" rafka explained

" what are you doing here? who's sick?" ask rafka who is also curious why maya can be there.

" your mother went to the hospital? how come you're not telling me anyway?" said rafka who felt disappointed with the attitude of maya who did not tell her about the state of her mother.

" sorry mas, I do not want to take care of you then I do not tell you," said Maya while putting on a sorry face.

" may, your mama I've considered like my own mama so you can't if you don't tell me about aunt's health." said rafka who seemed to not accept with a virtual attitude that told her about her mother's health.

" do you still care about my mom?" said maya while putting on a moved face.

" yes, you know may, whatever your mistake to me I am only angry and disappointed with you but not to aunty, aunt has nothing to do with our problems" said rafka asserted

" but mas, "

" nothing but - but now take me to the aunt's nursery," said rafka as she drew maya's hand.

maya walks with her hands drawn by rafka and then shows the path where her mother is being treated.

now they have arrived at the door of the room in her mama maya's room.

" this is the room mas," said Maya while opening the door slowly.

" creeks "

the door of the room opens. rafka then enters into the step slowly so as not to disturb the comfort of her mama maya who is resting. mama Maya named Retno was open her eyes and then turned to look at rafka and maya who were now walking closer to her.

" kak rafka," said aunt Retno in a weak voice

rafka then quickened her pace towards Retno's aunt's bed that was lying weak.

" yes aunt," answered rafka softly

" you're coming to see a aunt?" Speak Aunt Retno weak

" yes aunt, forgive rafka yes aunt because only now can look aunty, maya who did not give news to rafka so rafka did not know that aunt was sick and hospitalized in this hospital." rafka explained

" it's okay, son," said Aunt Retno, smiling a little

" yes, how now does aunty feel from before her?" tanya rafka while gently rubbing the hand of Aunt Retno who is attached to the infusion hose of the hospital.

" thank God, son, aunt already feel a bit better," said aunt Retni

" hmm, thank God, then" said rafka, smiling gently

" cring cring "

rafka's phone is ringing.

rafka fingered her phone which was in her pants pocket and then took it. she stared at her phone screen looking at who was calling her.

" mother "

" astagfirullah, I forgot to tell mother that this morning me and annisa are out. Mother now must be panicking looking for us.

rafka then immediately raised her cellphone when she saw the call from the mother.
