THE NO-MAN'S LOVE
11. DON'T WANT TO TROUBLE
I felt lucky to quickly find a new friend and a kind and sincere neighbor in my new home. It seems, I do have to be more open and seek peace of mind by sharing and telling someone who can be trusted. I think I've found the right person by now. Hopefully, he can help me to do better in dealing with the newly built domestic crisis without the foundation of love by me and my husband!

“Mbak, please come quickly! I'm still at Mas Genio's house. Egidia fainted!”
Luckily, Tia had a cell phone in her pants pocket, so in a panic she immediately asked for help from her sister who had just returned home for lunch, before returning to work at the hospital.
Not until two minutes later, Mutia had come with her medical bag. Maybe he needs it to check on the neighbors. The hijab-wearing woman who was still wearing the same clothes as this morning, headed straight for the dining room as the call of the sister who had shouted when she heard her hurried footsteps.
“We move first to the sofa there!”
The brothers worked there carrying Egidia's body to the long sofa in the living room. Lose comfortably and straighten the position of the body. Not to forget Mutia asked her sister to raise the leg position by stacking two sofa pillows that were there.
Since there were only the three of them and there was no opposite sex, the doctor opened Egidia's head covering so as not to get sultry. The home clothes worn by the graceful woman were loose and did not feel disturbing.
Mutia checked the pulse on the wrist, then opened her bag. He took a stethoscope to confirm other conditions, such as the heart, lungs and digestive organs.
From the chest, he lowered the device to the stomach. His breathing was relieved because everything was still normal. Diagnosis initially, may be just fatigue or lack of sleep.
“He's fine, Ma'am?” ask Tiara.
“It looks like so. Unless he's hiding something else. In general, his condition is fairly normal. If to detect the disease or not, a medical check up is needed if he does complain of some symptoms that need to be watched out for.”
After the sister gave the stimulation of therapeutic aroma oil that was quite stinging, before long Egidia began to roar. The first thing he does is feel the head that feels very painful.
He wanted to sit down, but Mutia forbade and asked him to wait for a moment and not move suddenly. Egidia complied and closed her eyes again to relieve the pain that still continues to attack.
“Thank you!” he said slowly, feeling indebted to both neighbors and new friends.
"Either. That's what neighbors are for, being the second family that is always there when we need something.”
Without opening her eyes, Egidia smiled in response to Mutia's remark. Meanwhile, Tiara had gone to the kitchen to make a sweet and warm drink after asking the host for permission.
When the fashionable but polite dressed woman returned, Egidia was already sitting helped by her brother. The woman seemed to still feel eulogized and embarrassed because of her weak condition and assisted by her neighbors.
“Drink first to warm up! Slow down!”
Egidia received the lazy cup Tiara had thrust, then sipped it little by little. His stomach still felt nauseous, but he ignored the taste and did not want to show it in front of the brothers.
“Wouldn't you tell Mas Gen? He can go home early or at least see how you are doing for a while.”
Tiara was still trying to persuade, but Egidia's reaction just made her feel confused. The woman shook her head and her eyes began to turn red and teary.
“Do not! I don't want to trouble him. You guys I made a fuss like this.”
“Included in times of illness like this.”
Mutia's right speech actually made Egidia unable to resist the rate of her tears that had dripped down her cheeks. The brothers who sat flanking him threw eyes at each other because they felt the unnatural of the woman who could still be called the newlyweds.
It seemed like there was something Egidia had hidden about her marriage to Genio. I hope this is just my false guess!
Mutia distracts by packing her medical equipment and closing the bag. He could not linger there because it was time to return to duty and serve his patients who would have been in line.
“Sorry, I have to go back to the hospital,” said goodbye.
“Tia, you accompany Egi first until his condition improves.”
The younger sister nodded followed by Egidia who had wiped her tears and placed the half-filled cup, then smiled sincerely to disguise her pale face.
“Thank you, Ma'am. Sorry for interrupting the break!”
“No problem. I'm glad I could help.”
After that, the obstetrician came out without being delivered, to return home first. Not long after, it was heard vaguely the speed of the car being driven and deliberately honked as a marker of his departure.
Feeling better and being able to move more, Egidia wore her hijab again because she felt shy. Recalling having to move the contents of the bowl Tiara brought, she prepared to stand up but was prevented by the neighbor.
“Don't move much first!”
Tiara who then stood up and prepared a container to move his homemade vegetables. Not to forget, he also took half of it with a smaller bowl while it was still warm enough to enjoy.
“Sup this will definitely make you healthier faster!”
Egidia did not argue so as not to disappoint the giver and immediately enjoy the delicious cuisine. After all, he was indeed hungry because he had not had lunch. However, it was not said as no this made Tiara grow even more worried.
Secretly, women who are studying a master's program profession with a concentration of psychology that assess the personality of Egidia. He also catches an unusual gurgle in Genio's relationship with his devout wife.
From the words and expressions shown every time talking about the husband, it is very visible if Egidia covers something that is actually still very clearly read from the glare of the eyes and tone of speech.
After Egidia finished eating, Tiara ventured to ask. No matter how presumptuous and pretentious he was, he began to extract information with a very subtle and careful approach.
“Egi, may I ask you something? Maybe it's a little personal, but believe me, my sincere intention is just to help.”
Egidia urgently returned Tiara's gaze and chose to bow. However, he nodded in response. The shoulder-haired woman beside him touched the back of his hand and gave a sedative swipe, while asking a question.
“Is your marriage to Mas Gen problematic?”
