The Heart that Chose
Chapter 29
Sherina is looking for ways to disrupt Khalid and Syafina's relationship.
the morning after the dawn prayer the whole house was startled with screams followed by a crying voice from Sherina. Khalid and Shafina heard it.
"Who's screaming it bang,?"
"Looks like Sherin, he's crying too. I see ya first" Khalid then went downstairs to see what happened. Near the kitchen door Sherin was sitting down, she was crying like she was in pain. There's also bi Lastri.
"What's up Sher, ?"
"But my feet hurt."
"Take heart, wake up !" Khalid glared at Sherina.
Bi Lastri held Sherin's hand to help her get up.
"Auu, sick. help bang. My ankle's sprained"
Khalid checked Sherin's ankle.
"It's sprained" Khalid said.
"Bang, take her to the hospital" Sherin whines.
"If it sprains well in Sher's order"
"Pak Udin is good at chanting" said bi Lastri.
"This please call Mr. Udin bi"
"Yes sir" Lastri hurriedly called Mr. Udin.
"Bang, just go to the hospital. Antarin" Sherin whines
"Sher, don't whine so much, I've been sprained in a little while also healthy"
"What is this, why Sherin? " Syafina came from her room.
"He slipped, sprained"
"Why not follow ", said Syafina.
From the outside came Pak Udin running a small run, Sherin so pouted when Pak Udin came.
"Well, Mr. Udin has come, he can obey. I was kitcheny first bang"
Khalid nodded and Syafina went into the kitchen. Mr. Udin began to massage the sprained part of Sherina's leg.
"Baang, this hurts a lot" Sherin whined.
"Hold Sher's ass, let's help Sherin. I'm going back to the room".
"Good sir".
"Kok bang Khalid is very yes with Sherin, like he is less close to his sister" murmured Syafina.
Syafina and mama zaenab make fried rice, there is also porridge for Bu Fatimah. Finished cooking Syafina delivered the porridge for her in-laws to the room.
"Mother eat yes, Fina bribe only yes ma'am"
"No need for Fina, let me eat alone. You just accompany your husband to breakfast"
"Yes ma'am, Fina put the porridge here. Yes ma'am"
"Yes Fina" Fatimah smiled.
Syafina in the room called her husband for breakfast.
"Breakfast yuk"
"Will eat your breakfast"
"Hahh, is it Fina's bread ?"
"Yes the strawberry jam bread", Khalid drew Syafina's hand until she sat on his lap. So Syafina understood what her husband meant to eat breakfast.
"Abang, wait for the mother to come downstairs" Shafina stood up and pulled Khalid's hand out of the room. Khalid so sighed in annoyance at failing to devour his sweet strawberry jam bread.
After finishing breakfast Syafina prepared to go to work. As usual Khalid led Syafina to work, on the way Syafina had a light chat.
"Abang kok is the same Sherin, he was asked to be accompanied when sorted. Brother even told bi Lastri who holds it"
"She's that, spoiled, nyari attention brother".
"Love a little attention"
"Not muhrim", though",
"I mean brother? "
"She was my foster sister, I used to be close to her, but now it's the same mature, it's not good to be too close"
"Oo so, I just found out that Sherin's foster brother, how's the story bang? "
"Over the story, next time, brother. It's near the hospital"
When they reached the hospital, Khalid led Syafina to the room. Syafina kissed Khalid's hand, when Arsya passed by, she saw Syafina and Khalid and she went into the doctor's office.
"Morning picket arsya too?" ask Khalid.
"It seems yes, brother don't be angry donk, right I'm today changing mbak melli, should be picket last night."
"yes, my brother is not angry. Don't get close to him yeah".
"Believe the same Fina bang"
"Yes my brother believes, my brother came home" Khalid then pinched his wife's cheek out of anxiety.

Fatimah was talking with Salman and Zaenab on the front porch, they were sitting on the porch. When Khalid arrived at his house, today he did not go to work because of Saturday. Khalid joined them.
"That thing, mom's home today"
"Cock it fast ma'am, just stay here a few more days". Khalid actually misses his mother.
"Let's stay here, we'll stay tonight" Zaenab said.
"Auntie just go home Nab, aunty's flowers are not taken care of. Not watered."
"There's a Lasmi ma'am" Khalid said.
"Not knowing him Khal, the mother's collection should get special attention"
"Yes mom, you're really healthy ?" finally Khalid gave up, free to argue with his mother.
"Already, besides if it hurts there is also a doctor. Close to my mom's house"
"No, same as Sherin"
"Have you not hurt your leg ? " ask Khalid
"Already in the sequence Mr. Udin was he could walk, just now it's been to the mini market"
"Later if there's a time let me be with Fina who lives mother's place".
Fatimah then went to the room ready to pack her clothes and she went to Sherin's room.
"Sher, we're home today"
"Are you really going home, Mom?"
"Come on, I want to take care of the flowers of the mother, there is also a later afternoon show"
Sherin finally complies.
Actually Fatimah came home today because she knew Sherin was looking for Khalid's attention, Fatimah knew Sherin liked Khalid a long time ago, she didn't matter if Khalid wanted to marry Sherin. But Khalid never opened his heart to Sherin, neither did Fatimah want to force Khalid.
Fatimah and Sherin have arrived, Sherin is out first. When he opened the door Fatimah saw a package, Fatimah then picked it up to throw it in the trash.
"Sherin is throwing garbage in the car, even though it is small like this is still his name" Fatimah nagged herself.and then she saw the garbage in her purse.
"This is not it...., did Sherin deliberately put this drug into food yesterday? " Fatimah then rushed after Sherin home.
"Sherin, what medicine is this. Why is it in the car?" Fatimah handed the package of medicine to Sherin.
"Eh this is ma'am" Sherin stuttered.
"What, what's this doing ? "
"I drank it mom"
"Why are you taking this medicine?"
"I've had a few days of constipation ma'am"
"really? "
"Yes mom, it's no longer mom"
"Next time do not take this medicine. Not good for your stomach". Fatimah was still in doubt about Sherin's testimony.

That night, Fatimah was about to chat with Sherin, and she went to look for Sherin in her room.
"Sherin, you haven't slept yet, have you? " Fatimah called Sherin.
"Not yet ma'am" Sherina opened the door to her room.
"May you come in? "
"Yes mom, come in"
Fatimah then sat on Sherin's bedside, Sherin following her.
"Sher, how old are you now? "
"25 years, what's wrong, ma'am? "
"You're supposed to be Sher's family, haven't you thought of going there yet"
"But I don't have a husband-to-be" Mom"
"You're beautiful, when you didn't have Sher's girlfriend?"
"There's no ma'am,"
"Sherin, you should be able to forget about Khalid, I know you're still expecting him, but Khalid's already married"
"Am I wrong to hope, Mom? "
"Wrong if what you're expecting is a married man"
Sherin was silent, she did not answer.
"Mom often see you call the same person, is that your boyfriend?, continues who met you yesterday?"
"Friend me ma'am"
"Sher, I think you should get married quickly. I don't care who your husband is, the important thing is that he treats you well."
Sherin was silent, she took a deep breath.
"Remember, forget Khalid. It's not good if you keep expecting it. You see for yourself he loves his wife very much"
Hearing that Sherin's heart was hot, Sherina could not accept the fact that Khalid did not love her but loved Syafina.

Syafina finished putting on her night cream, now that she had gone to bed she had broken her body and pulled the blanket up to her chest.
Khalid opened the door of his room, he from the kitchen took water. He saw, Syafina was already in a curled position hugging the bolster. Khalid smiled at his wife.
"Basic, keep avoiding. When are you going to avoid me, Fina? "Khalid spoke in his heart.
Khalid pulled his wife's blanket, Syafina pulled it back.
"Wake"
"Just want to sleep, it's been told to wake up" replied Syafina.
Khalid did not want to be much stale, he immediately turned Syafina to face him, Khalid then kissed his wife, Syafina just let it go. Khalid let go of the kiss.
"Is it bang? ", yok sleeping Fina is sleepy"
"Who says it's already, it's just starting" Khalid began to do further.
"Aaa" Shafina shouted, Khalid quickly shut his wife's mouth.
"Not what's been yelling, just shut up"
Syafina tried to calm herself down, she took a breath and threw it away slowly.
"I must be able to, pity my husband" inner Syafina.
Khalid continued, he did it gently, and finally it was what he had wanted all this time and Syafina wanted. Syafina was happy to have given her husband the right.
