The Heart that Chose

Chapter 50

Khalid opened the door to his wife's hospital room, where she found Syafina sitting on her bed. Syafina gave him a quick glance, then looked down. She's wearing a hijab.

"Alhamdulillah Fina wore a headscarf, meaning Arsya did not see my wife's letter" Khalid said in his heart.

"Sorry Fina bang" Syafina opened her voice, but she still lowered her head.

"Why is Arsya here? " Khalid sat on the couch in the room, facing Syafina's bed.

"I don't know bang"

"You're telling me you're alone again ? "

"Well, I don't know why Arsya came here. Maybe she found out from Renna because I called Renna for company"

"Why does Arsya always know you are alone, why is she always there for you too ? "

"Bang, it's just a coincidence"

"Not coincidentally, he purposely stalked you Fin, always been your hero. Until I look useless in your eyes"

"Abang, what matters is that I survived. Whoever helped me is no problem"

"Are you comfortable when he's near you,? you like him to be your hero, don't you, Fina?"

"Abang why the hell, what Arsya said the same brother outside earlier ?"

"Nothing what"

"I know you had a fight with Arsya outside, don't mind Arsya bang"

"I don't know who to trust. I don't know how Arsya was always there when you needed help, while I was never there for you Fina"

"I'm sorry, trust me. You are a husband I respect a lot. And only brother I need"

Khalid leaned his head against the sofa, and crossed his two arms over his forehead.

"That thing to apologize for. Sorry brother yes, just left you even went to a meeting."

"I think it's okay, no one is wrong about me"

"But why are you crying, are you afraid of being alone? " Khalid turned to Syafina.

"There's nothing bang" Syafina recalled the words Sherina said earlier that made her cry.

"Bang, my brother cares about me. Are you really worried about me? "

"Of course Fina, you're my wife. You're pregnant with my son"

"If I wasn't pregnant, would you worry about me like this too? "

"What is this question, of course I worry about the woman I love, don't make it weird. You think Arsya's the only one who's worried about you?

Syafina was silent at her husband's reply.

"Do you really love me bang, or are you only responsible because I am your wife" Syafina deepened in her heart.

Shortly afterwards there was a reverberating adhan, a sign of having entered the time of the magrib prayer.

"Fina, we pray pilgrims yes, you tayamum only, oh yes. you are very beautiful veiled". Khalid got up to look at his wife for a moment, then walked towards the bathroom.

Syafina blushed in embarrassment praised by her husband, her face flushed red. But Khalid didn't see that.

Finished ablution Khalid took his wife's face from the cupboard, and helped Syafina wear it. Then they both prayed magrib together.

In Singapore, Reyhan is packing clothes and equipment himself and his mother because tomorrow they can go home to Indonesia.

During treatment in Singapore Sefni many changes. His body now feels fresh, and able to do activities. A month from now the doctor advised Sefni for back control.

"Mama really did not expect to be back healthy. What an infinite grace for Mama to be given God another chance to live"

"Yes ma, nothing is impossible ma"

"We are indebted to Khalid, how good the young man is, may Allah always keep him".

"Aamin," Reyhan agreed.

"Are you ready to pack Rey? "

"Everything is ready ma, tomorrow it's up"

"Yes, now tell Dendi that we're home tomorrow, or do you want to give your sister a surprise? "

"I'll call him back again"

"Then my mom breaks first". Sefni breaks her body in a hotel bed.

"Yes ma". Reyhan looked at his mother, the woman he loved so much.

"Eh you know this restaurant belongs to bang Khalid loh" said Sherin proudly.

"Wow, that means that the branch in C city also belongs to Khalid, I wonder what Khalid has"

"In addition to restaurants there is also the largest workshop in the city, which also opens branches in other cities. There are also fitness centers and stores that sell expensive Smartphones. I myself do not know now his business has penetrated anywhere, the more widespread"

"He's married? " ask Angel.

"It is" Sherin replied.

"Oh, I can't believe I'm heartbroken this fast" said Angel, disappointed.

"Don't worry, they're in the process of divorce.it's okay if you want to get close to him, it won't be on the actor's stamp"

"Oo, is it really sherin?, I'd rather be with a widower."

"I can arrange it if you want to meet Khalid bang"

"My sister-in-law's candidate does know what I want, "

"Ha ha, as long as our cooperation goes, Sherin blinked one eye"

"Don't worry, take it easy, and by the way, why would Khalid get a divorce with his wife? "

"His wife is cheating, but don't ask her. He is very sensitive when talking about his wife, he can be angry"

"Ike, I want to meet with him as soon as possible, you set yes. I'm really curious about your brother."

Khalid had just finished feeding his wife, and then he cleaned his cutlery. Khalid took the medicine and offered it to Syafina to drink. Syafina took the medicine.

Khalid sat on the bed next to his wife.

"Fina, someone wants to ask you"

"What do you want to ask, just ask? "

"We've been married five months, all this time has there been a brother's treatment that hurt your heart ?"

"Why do you ask like that?"

"You just have to answer Fina, honestly my brother"

Syafina was silent for a moment, "the treatment of my husband who broke my heart, ah it feels nothing.he is very good" Syafina said in her heart.

"Fina, why shut up. Come on answer"

"No treatment brother who hurt my heart bang"

"Fina, you have to be honest. Brother wants to improve himself. Brother wants to be a good husband, brother wants to be the only place you tell me complains you Fin"

"Ehmm, the treatment of my brother who makes me upset there is anyway. but not too I take heart. because brother is always good with me. annoyed a little so lost if brother has been kind to me".

"Fina, don't be a damper yourself. Maybe there's something you don't like doing, or disagree with your thoughts.? "

"Ah not important also bang, do not need to discuss"

"Fin, you don't want any misunderstanding between us, why do you say this. Because we had a bit misunderstood. you don't want this to drag on".

"Well, if you knew what I didn't like, would you stay away from him?"

"It may be that you stay away, brother promise". Khalid grabbed his wife's hand and grabbed it.

"Bang, I don't like Sherin's close brother."

"Why Sherin?, has she ever bothered you? "

"I feel he is not a good person, that's all. because I can never be familiar chatting with him, different from Cintya and mbak viana. we immediately familiar when we first met"

"He is a picky friend, he chooses a friend from the upper class, but he is actually good".

"But I don't like my brother getting too close to her" Syafina looked up at her husband's face.

"If that's your request, as much as possible your brother will stay away from him. But brother can't be completely unrelated to him, he's part of the brother's family"

"Yes, Fina understands bang".

"Okay, now you rest yes, do not mind so much to recover quickly, can quickly go home". Khalid rubbed his wife's cheek which was getting chubby due to her pregnancy.

Syafina nodded, she lay down and closed her eyes trying to sleep. Khalid put up his wife's blanket. Khalid stroked his wife's hair, he had memorized how to calm his wife to quickly fall asleep.

****

"Sometimes I envy Syafina who has a husband like Khalid, what he talks about, always establish good communication with his wife so that there is no misunderstanding in his household"

Love Syafina and Khalid "Syakha"
