The Heart that Chose

Chapter 116

It's been a week that Khalid was transferred from the ICU, and today he's allowed to go home by a doctor. Check up after 2 weeks. Because the operation in the city of D the other day still needs control.

"Mother, do we have money for my medical expenses? " Khalid asked Fatimah after the admin gave the details of the charges out of her room. The cost listed there is nominal is quite large.

"Ehmm, ada. Wait here yes. I'll bring the money in a minute" Fatimah plans to go see Dendi, and ask for the company's money. Because all the ATMs and account books are still the same Sherina.

Khalid nodded in agreement. Fatimah then came out and ordered a taxi online.

"Where are you going?" Syafina arrived.

"Eh, Khalid's been allowed to go home. I want to see Dendi for money on Khalid's medical expenses"

"No need ma'am, Fina already has money for it. After all, it's Sherina's money, but Khalid wouldn't agree that he knew".

"Fin, the money is still your right, after all. We also need money to pay for Syakha's hospital fees. "

"Mom, Fina has savings from money given bang Khaid first. Everything is more than enough to cost Khalid and Syakha bang"

Fatimah was silent for a moment, she finally nodded. It was better for her to obey Syafina, it was enough for her to make Syafina sad. He didn't want Syafina to be angry with him.

"Alright Fin, here's the cost details"

Shafina took the paper that Fatimah had stained.

"Hmm, my money's enough ma'am. Syakha is also allowed to go home. Actually, Fina was here to tell me that Syakha could go home"

"Oo, thank God my grandson can go home, has the weight gone up? "

"Yes ma'am, it's 2100 grams. I'll go with Khalid Fina to finish this first".

Fatimah returned to her room to accompany Khalid.

"Mom brought the money? "

"Syafina said she would pay. Thank God your son is also allowed to go home today"

"Alhamdulillah, does Fina have any money to pay for our hospital fees ma'am? "

"Don't worry, he has enough money. You used to give him a lot of money all he saved. Lucky you had a wife like her"

"I give him a lot of money?, where do I get a lot of money?, what I used to do, I don't remember at all"

"Khal, what are you thinking. The doctor won't let you think too much and forcefully remember your mass".

"Yes mom". But in his heart Khalid was curious about his past, which his mother seemed to keep secret. Before long Syafina came, she had finished taking care of all the administration.

"Everything's done, we've been waiting for Jody. Syakha is also in Jody's car. We'll just go straight there". Syafina then guided her husband into a wheelchair, and a nurse pushed him to the car park. Then Shafina helped Khalid sit on the passenger seat. Shafina then took Syakha from Jody, and held her on her lap sitting next to Khalid.

"Mom's just coming with us, Mom, just sit in front"

"Yes, I also want to visit your father Fin's house. I haven't been there in a long time since I proposed to you "

When she got home, Shafina took Khalid to their room to rest. Mama Zaenab has cleaned their room and prepared everything for baby Syakha.

Salman and Fatimah are scrambling to play with the baby shakha, but the baby Syakha has to rest a lot. Syafina had also prepared an incubator for the baby Syakha in her room. After carrying her for a few minutes Fatimah handed the baby Syakha back to Syafina for breastfeeding. After Syakha was full, Syafina placed her in the incubator.

"Syakha is very similar to Khalid's time baby Fin"

"Oh yes ma'am? "

"Yes Fin, the mother remembered that while taking care of Khalid as a baby, she cried loudly. Stop crying when it's carried by his father".

"Oo, does bang Khalid look like a father, like Syakha looks like a father? "

"No" Fatimah shook her head.

"Khalid's face looks like his mother's, but Khalid's nature is similar to his father's. He is friendly, patient, compassionate and responsible. Your father used to love his mother very much and loved his children very much. After Aini died she was often sick, she really loved Aini. Until he got very sick and your father died". Fatimah's eyes became soaked by her tears, remembering her late husband.

"Oo forgive Fina bu, ask about dad. Mom was crying. You see, Khalid never talked about dad"

"What's wrong with Fin, Khalid doesn't like to talk about his father not because he doesn't love his father, but because he doesn't want you to cry when you think about him. Khalid loved my mother very much"

"It's okay, it's fine Fin"

Tert tert tert mobile Fatimah reads. Then he talked to someone on the phone.

"Fina, sorry I have to go home"

"Aren't you going to catch mom? "

"There's a neighbor next door who died just now, mom doesn't feel good if you don't sleep"

"Oh that, let me get jody to drive mom home"

"Yes, tell Khalid that if mom comes home, she's still sleeping.Pity to wake up"

"Yes ma'am" Syafina then met Jody who was chatting with father Salman on the side porch.

Syafina takes Fatimah to the terrace of the house, Fatimah will return home delivered by Jody.

"When we want you to stay"

"Other times, Fin, it's five in the afternoon. Jody's coming home later"

"Yes ma'am, my heart is yes" Syafina hugged her mother-in-law. She wanted Fatimah to stay the night, but her in-laws didn't want to. Fatimah was satisfied to hold and play with Syakha.

***

That night in the hospital, Arsya was shif at night. He deliberately took Shif's schedule the night, because the next morning he had to go to his papa's office which is now handed to him, his papa prefers his business in Jakarta, but not as big as his business in town B.

"Sir Arsya, there is no Syakha".

"Yes Ren, I lost Syakha very much." Arsya took a long breath.

"Syakha must have lost her father too, she's used to sleeping in his hands".

"He'll get used to his father, he'll forget my hand" Arsya looked down, her eyes glazed over but Renna could see it.

"Oh my God, doctor Arsya is crying because of baby Syakha, so strong pak Arsya's love for Syakha ?".

"Even though Syakha is used to her father, I'm sure she won't forget him, she's very comfortable in his hands"

Lorenna often saw Arsya put baby Syakha in his hand, the little baby was very comfortable curled up in the big hands of doctor Arsya.

"Do you think babies have a strong memory ? "

"Ehmm, sir is not a memory. A kind of inner contact with the father is that sir"

"I hope so Ren. Maybe Syakha has the same inner contact with the doctor who treated him like his inner contact with his own biological father. "

"Yes sir, aamiin"

"Why did you amen? " Arsya scrunched her forehead.

"That's sir, actually I want Syakha to have a father like father".

"Ah, there's just you, Syakha still has a father"

"Sir, be honest before Syafina gets married. I am very supportive of Syafina getting married to my father, not knowing that she was betrothed to Khalid sir. And after the news of Mr. Khalid's accident I also hope that he replaces him as Syakha's father"

"Don't remind me of those memories Ren. I've tried so hard to forget my memories with my mother Syakha."

"I'm sorry sir"

"Yes, let's get you back to work".

Renna returns to her job, while Arsya tries to focus on the patient list in front of her.
