THE NO-MAN'S LOVE
18. SEEING WOUNDS
I don't know, who should tell me about the nestwhat I'm having and should I run into in this marriage? While I was still trying to set a heart that easily wavered because of my husband, another reality I had to accept with a chest of air. I wanted to be honest with him, but I was afraid that my heart would break even more when I had an unexpected reaction.

Three days later, Egidia had to return to the hospital to find out the results of the previous laboratory examination, Genio actually went to the office early on the grounds that there would be a visit from the leadership at the headquarters.
"Sorry, I have to leave now and can't get you to the hospital."
Genio had breakfast in a hurry and not to be spent as usual. He didn't even give his wife a chance to kiss him by the hand, as both of them were holding bags and documents that were taken home last night but not a thing. Egidia continued to deliver with a smile, although the husband also did not leave a kiss on his forehead.
The man asked him to book an online taxi and leave if he was close to the schedule of the doctor's practice to be visited. Without rebuttal and merely nodding obediently, Egidia let go of her husband with the accompaniment of a prayer of health and safety for the priest.
After Genio's car disappeared at the end of the residential gate, he locked the fence and immediately entered the house. Without realizing it, two pairs of eyes had already noticed from behind the window curtain of the house in front of him.
“Genio is absolutely outrageous!”
Mutia who initially did not want to comment much, ended up getting carried away with emotions like her sister. Seeing Egidia always ignored by her husband and left to go alone when his condition was not healthy, made the obstetrician was upset and angry with their neighbors who were known to never socialize.
“Egidia is very patient to face Mas Genio. In fact, his mind was so depressed and so tormented. Love without reply, even its existence is never considered at all.”
“Entai until when he was able to survive against that heartless man!”
Tiara, who was able to judge their relationship, was clearly not harmonious and only limited to status, asked her brother for advice.
“Mbak, do I overdo it, if you want to invite Egidia to speak from heart to heart?”
“I want to support and strengthen himself.”
“If I were to be him, I have asked to be sent home to my parents, rather than having to live together but not appreciated, even considered non-existent and always ignored!”
Mutia shook her head as she walked away from the window. He forbade his sister to interfere in the household affairs of others, unless the concerned themselves tell stories and ask for opinions.
“Do not! We don't know how and what their wedding background looks like.”
“Again, they also just got married, not even a month. Maybe both still need time to adapt and make adjustments to each other.”
The nature of Tiara is indeed contrary to her brother. If Mutia is a mature and reserved figure, she tends to be childish and cannot be silent. Even so, they can always put themselves in place and adjust things.
“Give me Egidia's contact number! I'll take her off with me.”

Doctor Kaivan greets his first patient friendly. Egidia answered briefly and replied with a small smile, just a sign of politeness.
“Good. I will directly convey the results of the examination in the laboratory earlier.”
Because Dr. Kai recommends a thorough blood test to detect a number of abnormalities that lead to serious diseases, the results obtained can also be used as a reference to perform further examinations, if needed.
“We have studied the results and with a heavy heart must be conveyed to you that ...”
The look on the face of the handsome doctor in glasses turned tense and very serious. He had already studied the results and discovered the abnormality he suspected from the very beginning.
From Egidia's story about some of the symptoms felt, namely about unusual headaches and continued to repeat, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, even to fainting, the expert doctor must convey a temporary diagnosis that will be confirmed by doing the next examination.
“There are abnormalities in the part of the brain that still have to be done follow-up examination for diagnostic enforcement.”
Egidia's pale face turned increasingly pias heard the doctor mention the disturbance on the part of his brain. His mind is immediately focused on a variety of severe diseases that are usually caused by abnormalities or disorders in the brain.
“Is my disease severe, Doc?”
His voice even sounded quivering with fear of not knowing to be held back or released, while he only came alone without the husband who should be a place to lean and tranquilize.
“We have not dared to confirm it, because you just did an initial check. For that, with your consent and the family, we will do a neurological examination and several other types of tests to find out.”
Seeing the condition of the patient is quite alarming, Doctor Kai secretly contacted Mutia through a short message and asked to come to his room. The bespectacled man also explained a little about the results of the initial examination that had just been delivered to the patient concerned.
Because the practice time had not yet begun, Mutia immediately came without delaying the time. As a neighbor who knew the condition of the household and Egidia's relationship with her husband, she could guess how the woman was currently doing.
The arrival of the obstetrician was very appropriate, because as soon as he saw her Egidia immediately hugged him and shed her tears. While Mutia was trying to calm down with a warm embrace and a gentle swipe, Doctor Kai looked at his patient with a very fixed look of pity.
He was used to dealing with patients with similar complaints and conditions, even more severe and chronic were often encountered. However, seeing the fragility of his new patient, his little heart felt something different than usual.
Repeatedly he managed to catch his breath that felt tight and made his vision a little blurry, so occasionally had to blink and correct the location of the glasses worn.
I don't usually get carried away by the atmosphere associated with my patients. However, behind her empty and frightened eyes, I was like seeing a deep wound hidden there.
