Syafina came home from the night shif on an ojek. Because Khalid called back when he had a fever. Arriving home she immediately ran on the second floor looking for her husband in the room.
"Why don't you tell me last night, if you know I can get permission"
"Don't want to disturb your work"
"I make porridge yes, after that later eat medicine, I stopped by to buy medicine at the pharmacy". Khalid just nodded.
Syafina cooked porridge for Khalid, after it was ripe Syafina fed khalid with it. Khalid finished more than half of that porridge.
"Now eat the medicine ya bang" Syafina gave two kinds of medicine to her husband.
"Now you rest, I'll let you go tonight"
"If I'm healthy tonight, you just work Fin, it's okay"
"No brother, I can't leave my brother alone at home if he's sick like this. Today I permit, tomorrow is a three-day holiday "after Syafina's night picket indeed get three days off.
"From her equal concern I seem to have been able to accept me" Khalid inwardly said.
By night Khalid had no more fever. Syafina took good care of him.
"Eat the medicine bang" Syafina offered Khalid a pill and a glass of water.
"No need to, I'm not hot anymore"
"It's just a vitamin not a heat sink, let's drink it"
Khalid then took the medicine from Syafina's hand, and took it.
"I'm a pijitin ya bang, let's be good". Syafina just stepped on Khalid's hand. long time he kneaded the hand and then moved to massage the legs.
"Enak ya have a sick nurse's wife treated, fed plus taken a bite, know really he's what the sick person needs" said Khalid.
"Yes, I take care of others, especially you" Syafina said.
"But there's a lack of it too"
"Whatis that? " ask Syafina.
"You yourself, don't ask"
Syafina understood her husband's intentions. She kept on scolding her husband. In her heart she felt very guilty for her husband.
"Oh Allah, when can I be the wife of bang Khalid completely, pity him"
"Fin's back again" Khalid opened the shirt he was wearing and lay face down.
"Let's go, how quiet?"
"Eh yes", Syafina hesitates to touch her husband's back but she finally takes a massage as well. He massaged his back long enough.
"It's Fin, it's good for your massage" Khalid said. She stopped scolding, and she lay down next to her husband and pulled the blanket.
"Fina you want to sleep?"
"Ehmm" Fina nodded.
"Fina, hug brother"
"What's? "
"Hugs, comeon. You hugged brother likes to scream, now you're the one who hugged brother. My brother will not scream"
Syafina was still silent at her husband's request. She was not unwilling but she was groggy half-dead if she had to be near her husband her heart seemed to jump out. Especially having to hug.
"Come on, so the wife tried to recede"
Syafina then moved her hand towards her husband, and she hugged him.
"Don't strain donk Fina, just enjoy why the hell?"
"Hmm" murmured Syafina almost inaudibly.
"Hug until you sleep don't let go"
Syafina nodded, she began to enjoy it. There was a warm feeling running down his chest, and he liked it. She hugged her husband until she fell asleep.
"Eh he who first sleeps, about sleep is fast, yes he is this. It's only nine o'clock that's sleeping" grumbled Khalid.

Somewhere, someone was crying, staring at a picture of Khalid.
"I can't live without Khalid, I can't let that girl of mine be happy with Khalid. Khalid's just mine."
"I'll make you leave Khalid alone" he laughed.
13 Years ago
Khalid came home from scout training on foot, when he was still in the first grade of high school at the age of 15.
When passing through an alley there were three young men hanging out, suddenly one of the young men stood up.
"Hey boy, this way pay us 50 grand, security money.if not yes not safe"
"I don't have any money bang"
"Hahh lied, try to check his bag" said the other young man.
"The truth is bang, I'm a schoolboy.where there's that much money.this is staying for the cost of the motorcycle alone bang"
The other boy took Khalid's bag, Khalid defended it. Smelled by the smell of liquor from the young man. Maybe because of drunkenness the man was outdone by Khalid, so Khalid managed to snatch his bag and the man fell down. Seeing that two of his friends hit Khalid, one of them pulled out a knife.
A thirteen-year-old girl not far from there witnessed the incident. When one of the young men drew his knife to Khalid, the girl pushed Khalid so hard that Khalid fell down and the knife hit him on the back. Khalid shouted for help. A few people who happened to pass by immediately ran to the scene, and the three young men managed to compose.
Khalid took the girl to the hospital, and,
the girl was treated for blood loss. Khalid himself waited for him for three days to be treated. It turned out that the girl was an orphan, because she had no brother Khalid brought her home.
Fatimah made him a child. That girl is Sherina. Fatimah was very nice to him, bought him nice clothes. Sherina secretly likes Khalid, but Khalid only considers him a sister.
Sherina always tries to get Khalid's attention. Until one day he told Khalid that he loved Khalid. But Khalid honestly said that he had no feelings for Sherina except feelings between brother and sister.

"Eh kok looks like Reyhan is crying, very crybaby". Dendi wonders what Reyhan saw on her phone and approaches Rey.
"Until you don't know she's me behind her" muttered Dendi. Dendi then watched from behind what Reyhan saw.
"Picture she's the same girl, is that the girl she left behind?" Dendi grew curious, she was getting closer.
"I don't see it wrong, it's Khalid's wife. Syafina." muttered Dendi again. When Reyhan noticed Dendi behind him, he hurriedly closed his phone.

"Don't you try to disturb them ! "
"Don't worry, I'm not that crazy"
"Okay, I trust you" then Dendi goes back to her room.
