The Love That Is Taken

Theresia Into the Hospital

On a sunny morning, Simon and Mila were having breakfast with his wife at Theresia's house.

“There's not up yet, huh?” ask the old man to his wife. “Didn't he have a counseling schedule with a psychiatrist?”

“Shortly, Mas. I look in her room first,” Mila replied as she stood up from her seat and walked towards her stepson's room.

The woman knocked on the door of the room quietly while calling the name of the owner of the room. He did this several times, but there was no answer from within. Then he opened the door and looked inside.

“There...,” he said slowly. The room was dark. Seen the bed there are still residents and covered with bed cover. The woman lying on the bed closed her eyes and did not react.

Mila took the initiative to approach Theresia and asked gently, “There, didn't you have a counseling schedule with a psychiatrist this morning?”

The one asked still closed his eyes. Suddenly he groaned slowly. His eyes slowly opened.

“Hmm...heat once here...,” slowly erans.

Mila scrunched her forehead. I think this room is too cold, he said in his heart. The AC was turned on at too low a temperature.

“You're overheated, There?” ask Simon's wife to be worried.

“Iya..Tante...,” replied the stepson while still being sleepy.

Mila touched Theresia's forehead and was shocked. Then he touched his neck, hands, and feet. It was hot, he thought worried.

“There, your body is so hot. Aunty thinks we should go to the doctor. How?”

The woman who was lying weak nodded. He is completely helpless now. Whatever his stepmother proposed would be obeyed.

“You like scrapings, don't you?” ask Mila for attention.

“Bby, Aunt.”

“Ok. Awhile Aunt get me the same coin of eucalyptus oil, yes.”

“Thank you, Aunt.”

Mila nodded and then moved out of the room. Simon was astonished to see his wife was busy looking around for something in the medicine box.

“What are you looking for? There's been up?”

“Already, Mas. Her body is just so hot. I offered him for scrapings. She wants.”

“Oh, so.”

“Well, here it is!” the woman was excited. He had found a clean coin and the eucalyptus oil he was looking for. She washed the coin for a while with soap, then rinsed it with hot water. Next she turned to her husband and said, “Then if you have scraped and drank paracetamol it turns out the heat has not come down as well, I think we should take him to the doctor. I'm so worried. It's rainy season now, Mom. Many strange diseases.”

Her husband agreed. He noticed that his wife stepped into Theresia's room while carrying equipment for scraping and a glass of water. What would my old days be without you, Mila-ku Darling, Simon said thankfully in his heart. May your existence here set a good example for my son how to be an exemplary wife.

In the afternoon, Jonathan, who was discussing with his two secretaries, received a call from his father-in-law.

“What, Pa? There in the hospital?” tanyanya panic. Both of his eyes were so shocked.

Then the well-built man was silent for a while listening to Simon's explanation on the phone. Shortly afterwards he nodded and said firmly, “Good, Pa. I'll look there at the hospital. Thank you very much yes, Pa.”

Jonathan turned off his phone connection and then let out a long sigh. Rosa quickly responded by closing the file and said, “Pak Jon, I think we had enough discussion this afternoon. Tomorrow can continue again because it is also not too urgent. Please go home to visit Theresia. What pain is he, Sir?”

Karin looked at her aunt in astonishment. How come Aunt Rosa calls Mr. Jon's wife by her name directly, without Mom's frills? he wondered in his heart.

Jonathan answered his senior secretary's question in a worried tone, “Papa said, There was dengue fever. Suddenly a high fever. It's been raided by Aunt Mila and drinking paracetamol, but the heat hasn't come down yet. Finally taken to hospital and diagnosed positive for dengue.”

“Oh, what a pity. Last morning when Mr Jon left for There's office was still okay?” rosa asked in curiosity.

His boss was stunned to hear the question that was like hitting him. He could not have said that it had been two months more homeless with his wife. The man was forced to lie, “Hmm.., this morning I went in a hurry. He's still sleeping.”

“Oh, so. Which hospital, sir?"

Jonathan mentioned the name of the hospital where his wife was being treated. Then Rosa again commented, “Oh, this is a hospital near Mr. Jon's house, right? Good thing Mr. Simon and Mr. Mila live near There and Mr. Jon, yes. So if there is anything can contact each other for help. Maybe There did not want to disturb the activity of Mr. Jon so forced to ask for help papanya.”

The director of mangosteen just responded to the analysis of his senior secretary. Whatever, he thought quickly. As long as you don't ask me too far, I'll have to lie again.

“Then,” said the company leader in a hurry. “This discussion we continue tomorrow only. I have to go home right now.”

“Siap, Sir,” says Rosa and Karin together. The two looked at each other and smiled. Once they had left Jonathan's room, Karin immediately asked her aunt, “Tante why mention the name of Mr Jon's wife directly, without frills Mother?”

Rosa looked at her nephew with a meaningful smile, “I've been working here since There was nine, Rin. He was used to calling her name straight away and he himself called me aunty. At that time his biological mother was still alive and often brought him to the office to meet his father. Mr. Simon is a workaholic, until sometimes Aunt feels sorry for her family because of lack of attention.”

Karin was listening to her aunt. But Mr. Jon seemed different from his father-in-law, he thought to draw a conclusion. He was rarely overtime and was so panicked to hear his wife had dengue fever.

“What's Miss Theresia like, Auntie? Beautiful?” tanyanya.

“Beautiful as her mother. Plus the son of a rich man, so the skin of his face and body is very well maintained. Appearance is cool too. In the past he was still routinely working, many employees were fascinated to see it.”

“oya? Wow, Karin so curious to see him soon.”

Rosa nodded and said, “Tomorrow afternoon after returning from the office we both came to see her in the hospital. There it was actually a good person, just a bit spoiled and selfish. Understandably, the only child of a conglomerate! Plus his mother died when he was ten years old and his father was too busy working, so the child was mentally less well guided. If angry, like to throw inappropriate words in public and make people hurt to hear it.”

“Oh, so. So it's better to work under her husband, huh?”

“Away,” answered Rosa while chuckling. “Jon and Mr. Simon are equally good. Only Mr. Jon is more generous to employees. Maybe because his father-in-law started the company from the beginning so he was very calculated on the smallest expenditure.”

“Bu Mila is who, Auntie?”

“That's Mr. Simon's second wife. Listen they used to be in a relationship when young but broke up in the middle of the road. After many years, they finally meet again after each of them loses a partner. Mila is a childless widow. Her man is very kind and serves her husband wholeheartedly.”
