The Heart that Chose

Chapter 117

Being a wife and mother is the responsibility of Syafina at this time, all lived patiently and sincerely. Syafina had just finished preparing warm water for Khalid to take a bath, after feeling the temperature just as she had and called her husband.

"The water is ready, brother wants to take a shower now ?"

"Yes, get ready for Fin's brother's shirt" Khalid then headed for the bathroom.

Syafina had prepared her husband's clothes and placed them on the bed. Then she suckled Syakha who had whined because she was hungry. Syafina does not use the services of a baby sitter, she wants to take care of her own baby because she wants to get closer to Syakha and witness every development of Syakha.

Khalid had finished his bath, he took his clothes and put them on one by one. Khalid had put on his pants when he was about to put on his shirt, and he stopped and asked.

"Fina, do you know what this wound on my shoulder is because of? "

"Ehm, it's a knife wound. That time my brother saved me from being attacked by bad guys. We were not married at the time".

"Oo, you don't why that time?"

"No matter what, Fina's own wound is sewing loh bang".

"O yes, you're a nurse", Khalid put on his shirt and he sat on the couch, watching his wife breastfeed his son. In fact he was trying to recall the incident that Syafina had just told him about. But he can't remember.

"O Allah, give me back my memory. I want to remember my time with my wife, with my mother" Khalid said in his heart.

Syakha had finished breastfeeding and she was asleep, Syafina put her back into the incubator. He now weighs 2300 grams after a week of going home.

"Bang, after breakfast Fina's going to town."

"What business is it? "

"Waiting Sherina, he was sentenced to 8 years in prison, while his men were each 3 years in prison for several attempted murders they failed".

"Sherina, wasn't she the one who told people to harm me. Doctor Zein told me, who exactly is Sherina? "

"Bang, I'll tell you everything about my brother's past, I think it's time you knew everything even if you don't remember it. We have breakfast first.. " Syafina took her husband by the hand, brought him to the kitchen for breakfast.

After finishing breakfast Syafina invited her husband to sit in the family room to tell her husband's past, especially about Sherina.

"Abang, just heard the story of Fina ya bang".

Khalid nodded, ready to hear Syafina's story.

"Sherina is brother's foster sister, she loves brother more precisely obsessed. But brother only considered him a sister. She even hurt me several times, until I was twice rushed to the hospital when I was pregnant. She kept trying to get a brother, until one day the brother was framed and the brother was accused of desecrating her, and now she says she is pregnant with her son brother. But I don't believe bang, and my brother doesn't believe it either. Even though everyone - even brother's parents and brother's best friend Dendi - believed it, too."

"Astagfirullah, what if the child he contains is indeed my son ? he's in jail now"

"Abang has promised responsibility with the child, I will also be responsible if it is a brother. But I'm gonna prove that the baby's not a brother's son"

"Hmm, I trust you Fin"

"There's something else I want to tell you about who my brother really is. Brother used to be the owner of a growing MK Group company, the brother of a successful businessman in the city of B. Dendi is my assistant brother. Now that company belongs to Sherina, and all of Sherina's assets belong to her, including our car and our house."

"Why could that be, did he also seize my treasure ?" Khalid interrupted, curious about his wife's story.

"Sherin didn't take it, but all the brothers gave it to her because the brother didn't want to marry her. Brother can live poor as long as he does not marry her, brother has chosen me. I hope you don't regret your decision to leave all your property for me and Syakha. " Syafina stopped telling stories, she wanted to hear comments from her husband.

Khalid was silent for a long time, then he grabbed his wife's hand and grabbed it.

"Abang sure you are the right choice brother, you have taken care of me and my son very well. There is nothing you should doubt about yourself. Brother can see the sincerity of your eyes Fin. I am grateful that I chose you.".

"Are you alone ?"

"Jody is with me" Syafina stood up.

"Wait" Khalid approached, cupping his hand on Syafina's face. Closer his lips, enjoying those tiny lips that were very tempting.

Tin tin car horn sound.

Syafina pushed her husband's body slowly.

"That's Jody, I'm leaving now yeah"

"Beware mother Syakha, brother today also want to go to the plantation. Tired of the house" Khalid drove Syafina home, Jody was waiting in her car. She is very happy if she has to go to town, because she can meet her boyfriend Yulia.

Khalid had arrived at the plantation area, he left with uncle Sukri while papa Salman had left since. Arriving at Sukri's plantation, he went around to see Khalid's chili and potato garden, and today the worker is planting ginger seedlings that Khalid ordered with Adam the other day. Ginger is allowed to sprout first before planting.

"Is this really all mine uncle ?"

"Truely Khalid, Salman had a large land. Of course bequeathed to your wife. Your seedlings and operating costs are what you give the day before your accident".

"Oo so"

"The longan and avocado seed that you ordered Jody has arrived this past week, it's over there"

"When can uncle be planted? "

"Perhaps two weeks away, now workers are digging a hole after two weeks of new seedlings can be planted"

"Uncle, imaksi much has helped."

"Yes, same thing. Your father Salman has also helped uncle a lot".

After a long tour, they returned to the cottage. Khalid was not strong enough to heat up under the hot sun, because his condition had not really recovered. They talked about agribusiness which is very good prospects to be developed.

After a long time of rest came Salman, he went around controlling the workers, then he sat down next to Khalid.

"Khal, your friend Yusuf Alzyan Karim called me because your phone number is no longer active, I don't know where he got papa's phone number, you should use the phone again because many want to contact you".

"Yusuf Alzyan Karim, who is he? "

"Say he's your friend in Jakarta, he has an oil palm factory in the city of E. In Jakarta he also has a herbal medicine factory. From his talk it seems like he wants to establish a great cooperation with you."

"What cooperation? "

"Maybe he wants to build a factory here. He can accommodate Ginger whatever he says, including other spices such as turmeric and kencur. "

Hearing that Khalid became silent, this morning his wife had told him that she used to be a successful businessman. But now that he had nothing, his property was Sherina's.

"You don't worry Khal, if papa's financial problems will help you" Salman seemed to know the problems that plagued his daughter-in-law's mind.

"Thank you, I will try to rise up" . In the heart of Khalid promised to develop his father-in-law's agricultural business, the soul of his business was not lost even though he forgot his memory.
