The Chosen Heart

Episodes 109

Hoek Hoek Hoek.

Early in the morning Hanan was already fussed about his stomach that felt very nauseous. He spewed out everything in his stomach. Until he made himself bored. Because the nausea does not go away.

''You got in the wind?'' Ask Zahwa. She was worried because her husband suddenly vomited without cause.

''No. ''No. My body feels healthy, but why does it feel so nauseous.'' Complaints Hanan. He staggered, making Zahwa have to carry him to the edge of the bed.

''I'll make you some warm tea, you lie down first.'' Zahwa said, by helping to lay her husband on the bed. And cover it with a blanket.

Only then did Zahwa go to the kitchen.He immediately heated the water to make tea.

''What is non?How restless is that?'' Ask Aunty Asih who suddenly came to bring her groceries.

''Mas Hanan was vomiting. Get in the wind time" replied Zahwa.

He poured tea on a cup of coffee, gave her a spoonful of sugar and then stirred.

Zahwa also made two layers of bread with peanut butter and chocolate for her husband. Put the tea and bread on a tray and take it to the room.

''So horrendous. What's up?" Surya asked, he had just come with a newspaper in his hand. Just about to sit at the dining table his attention was on Zahwa who was busy carrying a tray to his room.

''Say Mas Hanan nausea mas,'' replied Bik Asih. Zahwa has been struggling without answering Surya's question.

''Did he catch a cold? Or maybe even a tadpole." Question after question lingered in Surya's mind.

It's only natural that Hanan is sick. He must have been exhausted too. Some days they do not rest regularly. I have to wait for my aunt in the hospital. Return hotel and house. Not to mention if there is a sudden need.

''I'll call very. Fear of relapsing." Surya said he started taking out his phone and calling very.

Tut Tut's.

Call at break up. Very did not answer his call.

''Maybe he has a patient.'' Susa Surya's.

''Just send a message. Fear , there will be nothing.'' Added Bik Asih, she started to get anxious as well.

Surya agreed to Bik Asin's proposal. Surya started typing messages for very. If there is not very, at least there will be a doctor who will check it.

*****

Hanan's sick. If you're not busy come home soon. If you can't, please get your doctor friend to come here* .

send

Surya has sent a WhatsApp message . A few seconds later a reply message from Very appeared.

Which house? explain it? you are still in kebumen or have returned to Jakarta. Send me the address, I'll ask my friend to go there. I'm busy . Don't disturb it first .

''Why him? Angry is unclear.'' Said Surya after getting a reply from Very.

''Bik, make soup and also porridge for Hanan!'' Shouted Zahwa from the second floor. Surya looks up to see it. But Zahwa was nowhere to be seen, only his back was seen going into the room again.

''What's that bad?" surya asked worriedly. He rushed up the stairs to his sister's room.

While Bik Asih who received orders from Zahwa immediately prepared soup and also porridge orders. Bik Asih was tense looking at the concerns of all of them.

''Is Hanan seriously ill?'' Surya asked in their room. They were both in the bathroom.

''She was nauseous constantly. Look, cold sweat is pouring in. But nothing came out of his mouth.'' Answer Zahwa. She massages - the interest of her husband's shoulder that is still bent in the bathroom sink.

''Did you give him eucalyptus oil?" Ask Surya

''I just wanted to give you eucalyptus oil. But not yet, because Hanan directly run to the bathroom after drinking warm tea. I panicked and came here.'' Zahwa answered - latah.

''Does your stomach hurt? Your tips relapsed?'' Ask Surya to Hanan.

Hanan replied to her by shaking her head. His hand waved a no sign.

''Maybe he was exhausted and caught a cold.'' Surya.

''It's possible. But Hanan was just nauseous, she said she wasn't dizzy or feeling unwell.'' Reply Zahwa.

''Has it gone away?'' Ask Surya.

''It's."

Surya pulled Hanan's hand, swept her out of the bathroom and laid her on the bed.

''I want to eat acid. Is there a young mango at home?'' Ask Hanan.

Surya and Zahwa looked at each other. I don't understand what happened to Hanan. Just now he was nauseous, and now suddenly he wanted a young mango.

''Don't eat acid. You are sick, your stomach will not be strong.'' Ban Surya.

''But I want to. Please find a young mango, I really want to eat it.'' Hanan. He is like a child whose desires must be fulfilled.

''I'll get you another fruit, but not a young mango." Surya.

''No, I want a young mango. Point, if you don't want to find me who will find it for yourself.'' Hanan tried to get out of his bed. For some reason, he was eager to eat a young mango. The shadow of delicacy, and the acidity of the young mango filled his mind. It felt, his saliva just wanted to come out.

''Did he hit something yesterday?'' Surya asked, astonished to see the change that Hanan experienced.

''No. ''No. Last night he was fine. At dawn, he started like this.'' Answer Zahwa.

They all had no idea what was going on with Hanan. Every time he started eating or drinking, he would vomit.

''I have contacted very. But he can't come here. Maybe another doctor will come.'' Surya . He hoped that the doctor very soon came and immediately examined his sister.

''This is the soup and the porridge. Still warm, Bik Asih came carrying soup that was still steaming. The smell of the soup was delicious. Make someone want to eat it immediately.

''I don't want that soup. It was very stinging.'' Hanan. It made people worry more and more about the people waiting for him.

When he was sick, he would ask for a meal with soup and porridge only. But this time, he refused to eat it. Actually, what happened to him?

The sound of the house bell ringing. Descend immediately down, and open the main door. A female doctor in front of him. She's the same doctor who checked Elena's pregnancy first.

''I was told by the very doctor to come here? Is anyone sick?'' ask the doctor.

''Yes doc. Please enter. We go straight to the upper room.'' Answer Bik Asih. He took the doctor to Zahwa's room.

''Good morning.'' Greetings to the doctor before he enters the room.

''For doc.'' Reply Solar.

Zahwa remembered the female doctor as well. He was even more confused as to why the doctor had come here. Isn't she part of the pregnancy?

''I'm sorry doc, but my husband is sick. He's been nauseous since dawn. Is it possible that the disease will recur?'' Ask Zahwa. He did not want to offend the doctor. However, it might be wrong if the doctor examined her husband.

''I'll check on your husband first. It's okay, it's natural.'' Said. I am increasingly clueless about what the doctor said.

Zahwa moved to make room for the woman's doctor to examine her husband. This time, she only hoped that the doctor would know her husband's illness.

She pressed the upper abdomen of her husband. Checking his pulse, and also his tension.

''How's doc? does he need treatment?'' ask Surya.

''No need. She's doing just fine. Medically her stomach acid rose, which is why she was vomiting. It can also be referred to as couvade syndrome. This is common during early pregnancy wife.'' Answer the doctor.

No one's shaking. Signs of not understanding what the doctor meant.

''couvade syndrome makes the husband, or maybe a close friend of the wife experience nausea, cramps and other pregnancy symptoms. Usually, the syndrome is temporary. And it'll disappear after the baby is born." Obviously the Doctor.

''So the doctor meant ''Hanan nyidam ?'' The Bik Asih concluded.

''It can be said like that bik.'' The doctor replied with a smile.

''Are you craving mas? How many months pregnant?" asked Zahwa, holding back a laugh.

Hanan immediately turned deathly pale as his wife said that. Following some other laughter .

''Can be said the stronger the inner bond of the husband to the wife, then the symptoms he experienced are also more intense. So if it happens, nausea, vomiting, sudden swelling of the legs, pain under the abdomen and down do not have to worry, it's common. It's partly a symptom of Covade syndrome. I'll give you some prescriptions to ease those symptoms." Add that beautiful doctor. He was writing some recipes on paper.

''Huh. I just found out, there is such a thing in this world.'' Surya. He still did not believe what the doctor explained. It was like a superstitious thing, but even medicine alone could have its own term in naming the symptom.
