The Dark Side Of My Husband

An undue aura.

Doctor Chan left the VIP hospital room occupied by Adnan at the time. He walked to Sharla's office.

"Huh .. That man dared to bribe me with money" Chan said as he arrived at Sharla's study.

The owner of the room was not there at the time.

"Why did I come here? Even Sharla isn't here .. stupid." Chan then moved from his seat and left Sharla's room.

Chan took his phone and contacted Sharla.

"What's up, Chan?" sharla's voice behind Chan's phone.

"What time do you want to come here?" Chan asked Sharla.

"in 10 minutes, I'll be there."

"Hurry now! I'm very upset right now" Chan said.

***

Today was the day Adnan was able to leave the hospital, where Sharla worked.

At that moment, Sharla was in her room on time. Sharla doesn't know if today is Adnan's last day at this hospital.

A nurse came to Sharla's room.

Tok... tok ...

(Sound knocking glass door Sharla room)

Sharla poked her head to see who was coming. Then he looked back at his laptop screen.

"What's up, brother?" ask Sharla.

"Mr Lapondi will be home today, Doc."

Sharla gasped and stopped her activities with the laptop at that time.

Good, this will be the last day I meet her, Sharla thought.

Sharla does not know that this day is the beginning of the destruction of her life for good.

"Then, what else?" ask Sharla.

"Preferably, the Doctor checked it out first .. before telling her to go home," the nurse suggested.

"Okay, I'm going to the room." Sharla got up from her seat and left the nurse herself in her study.

Sharla walks past the rooms in the hospital. He took the elevator and arrived at the room Adnan stayed in.

Tok ... tok ...

(Sharla knocks on the door of Adnan's room)

Adnan just turned his head towards the source of the sound. He stared while holding the phone in his hand.

Sharla opened the door slowly. I hope what happened that day doesn't happen again.

"Excuse me ... Mr. Lapondi." Very soft voice. Sharla greets Adnan.

Adnan gasped at Sharla's sudden arrival.

I didn't expect ..he'd be back, Adnan thought.

Sharla walked over to Adnan. Sharla felt the aura in the VIP room was very strange.

"Mr Lapondi, I'll check on you first." Sharla put a stethoscope in her ear.

"Excuse me, sir." He asked Adnan for permission.

Why was his heart beating so fast, Sharla thought.

Then Sharla took off her stethoscope and checked on the leg.

"Is it painful here, sir?" sharla asked politely pointing at Adnan's broken leg.

Adnan just shook his head while furrowing his brows.

"I'm going to go make a prescription for the drug" said Sharla, who was leaving. Adnan intercepts Sharla, he holds Sharla's wrist.

"I want you to take me home" Adnan asked.

"But, Mr. .. I have a job here" Sharla said. Adnan took off his hand. Adnan threw away his face at that moment.

Sharla felt pity and approached Adnan.

"Alright .. I'll take you, sir."

Adnan turned to Sharla. His eyes sparkled and his lips seemed to be grinning.

Sharla then goes to her room, she writes a recipe for Adnan and returns to Adnan's room.

Arriving at Adnan's room, Sharla knocks on the door before entering inside. Sharla approaches Adnan and helps him to wake up.

"Come, Mr. .. Let me help you."

"I don't need your help .. I can walk on my own" Adnan said.

Then they came out of the room. Adnan paid for his treatment in the administration room, Sharla went to redeem Adnan's medicine. They are done with their own business.

Adnan waited for Sharla in the waiting room near the car park. Sharla came to Adnan.

"Come, sir." Sharla holds Adnan's arm. Adnan looked at Sharla's hand.

"Sorry." Sharla then let go of her hand.

"Give me your car keys!" adnan's orders.

"Let me take the car, please" Sharla said.

"Give it to me!"

Sharla gives Adnan the car keys. They walked to Sharla's car in the parking lot, in front of the hospital.

Adnan drove Sharla's car at a moderate pace, leaving the hospital. On the way, an atmosphere of silence and awkwardness was created. No one speaks a bit.

Adnan felt sad and finally started talking.

"Where do you live?" ask Adnan.

"What's up, Mister?" answer Sharla.

"I want to know where you live." Adnan spoke without looking at Sharla

"That's pri--"

"Stop calling it privacy! Quickly tell me!" Adnan forced Sharla. Sharla flinching.

Eventually, they reached Adnan's house. A security guard opened the gate for Sharla's car to enter the palace.

It's a good house, Sharla thought.

"Let's go down" said Adnan.

"Wouldn't I just go back to the hospital, sir?" Sharla refused in a subtle way.

Adnan felt unacceptable. He got out of the car, walked around the car to find and opened the door next to Sharla.

Adnan opened the door and forced Sharla to come out.

"Hurry out!" Adnan grabbed Sharla's arm. Sharla grimaces.

Inevitably, Sharla must follow Adnan's wishes. He went down and walked beside Adnan.

Adnan opened the door of the huge house. Adnan came in first, followed by Sharla from behind.

Sharla was uncomfortable at Adnan's house at the time.

"You wait here" said Adnan pointing to the sofa, "I'll be back, after I change my clothes."

Adnan walked up to the stairs. Leaving Sharla alone in the living room back then.

Sharla sat down while looking at Adnan who was walking closer to the stairs of her house. Sharla saw a black shadow that always followed Adnan's steps.

Sharla squinted her eyes, her gaze focused on the shadow that was instantly gone, the instant it appeared.

Was she the girl who was in the operating room, Sharla thought.

"What do you want me to do, miss?" the voice of the waiter at Adnan's house suddenly made Sharla gasp.

He is Mr. Bhur, the butler at Adnan's house. Not a house, but rather said to be a palace.

Sharla looked at the maid blankly as the maid was suddenly beside her.

"Call me Mr. Bhur, Miss."

"Well, Mr. Bhur. I'm Doctor Sharla. I'll take care of Adnan until he fully recovers." Sharla puts her hand out. Mr. Bhur returned Sharla's hand.

It's cold Mr. Bhur's hand, Sharla thought.

"Miss, do you want me to make you a drink?" said Mr. Bhur.

"No need, sir." Sharla shook her head.

Mr. Bhur walks into the kitchen. Sharla looked at the butler while thinking about the existence of the maid who was suddenly beside her.

I didn't see a waiter come up to me. Maybe I was too focused on my illusion about that black figure. But, why is Mr. Bhur's face so pale, Sharla's mind.

Suddenly, Mr. Bhur stopped his steps and turned to look at Sharla with a smile. Sharla's mind was clouded, as Mr. Bhur smiled at her. Sharla returned a smile to Mr. Bhur.
