The Ours In Another Story

41. Good Reasons Behind Pain

Jevan did leave for the office, but his mind wasn't really there. He wandered all day. Even when Haidar was busy explaining something before him he just kept quiet without giving a response.

“Mas Boss, ngalamunin what the hell?” tanya Cedar resuscitated Jevan.

“Eh sorry, really sorry,” says Jevan.

“Mas boss again have a thought huh?” ask Fadillah.

“Yes, sorry, Mama Nafiza is sick again, at home alone, so I thought. Sorry, I am not a professional to bring problems at home to the office,” said Jevan.

“No Papa Mas, humane. His name wife again sick must be thinking, they are the pillars of the family. If they fall, one family falls all. Mending a job here I cover aja, now Mas Jev go home mommy,” said Cedar.

“No need, still able to work. After lunch I will pick up my son and keep returning. Now we focus first, I invite a bit speeding the language is not a problem right?”

Jevan then returned to focus on his work. He gave instructions and immediately ended the briefing that day so that they could finish their respective work immediately. Jevan was evaluating Fadillah's work when her phone rang. As soon as he saw the call from whom, he immediately picked it up without a second thought.

"Beautiful?"

“Mas, busy again huh?” ask Rere across.

“Neither, how come baby?”

“Mas came home dong, I was not strong..” said Rere made Jevan immediately stand up leaving the office.

“Iya mas otw now, you wait at home huh. We go to the hospital,” said Jevan can be heard throughout the office making everyone worried.

“Mbak Rere why mas?” ask Cedar.

“Dar, handle yes. Sorry I have to go home now.”

“Ok be careful mas don't speed. Inget mbak Rere,” said Cedar only thumbs up by Jevan who has passed away.

“Hallo Lia?” Jevan called Lia as soon as she opened the car door.

“Iya mas? Tumben phone Lia what is it?”

“Li, can you ask for help? I want to take Rere to the hospital, you please pick up Nafiza yes, later I will pick up at your place a bit late afternoon,” said Jevan.

“Mbak Rere hurts what mas?” said Lia.

"don't know yet. I'll tell you later" Jevan replied as he continued to drive his vehicle.

"May be cured and not seriously ill Mas. Careful. After this I said to Abi's father to pick Nafiza up. He's here safe Mas," said Lia.

"Ok Thanks."

Just like Jevan turned off the call. He tried as soon as possible to get home and immediately looked for Rere who was sleeping so limp in his bed once he arrived. Jevan helped Rere put on his jacket, then carried him to the car.

“Neither," said Rere who was so limp. He was unable to even support his head which felt so heavy and throbbing.

“Beauty, try not to lose consciousness yes. Drop here ok,” said Jevan who already carried Rere.

Jevan's fear is so great right now. He was like looking at Rere who had almost lost his life while struggling in his quest to introduce Nafiza to the world. His left hand continued to grasp Rere's hand without any intention of letting go. He was still trying his hardest to stay focused on the streets even as his mind started to dishevel. Jevan was most afraid to see his wife sick. Moreover, his lips were very, very pale and cold sweat poured down from his body. Jevan also sees Rere starting to have trouble keeping his consciousness.

As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he no longer queued in the poly but took him to the ER. To check on Rere the doctor asked Jevan to wait outside. His mind was everywhere imagining bad things happening, but when the doctor told Jevan what was the reason for Rere's current illness he did not think strangely.

"Congratulations sir" said the doctor once more before leaving Jevan, who was still trying to understand what was happening.

Luckily there were no problems with Rere, nor did he need to be treated. Although the pale face still persisted but this time a smile adorned him. Jevan sat next to where Rere was asleep, he grabbed Rere's hand free from the infusion. Grasping that weak hand and endless she squid as gratitude and gratitude to Rere.

"How's nafiza?" ask Rere.

"You don't have to worry, he's in Iyus' place. The doctor says you can go home after the infusion runs out so you better get some sleep first, get some rest. Coming back from here we'll tell Nafiza."

Rere nodded then closed his eyes again. Sure he got the happy news but still his strength did not just come back. His breathing was still short irregular and his head was still circling making his nausea even more pronounced. But at least he's strong, he's going to stay because there's a good reason behind all the pain he feels. Nafiza, congratulations you will finally have a sister.

***

By night time Rere is allowed to go home. They first picked up Nafiza at Abi's place. Jevan buys dinner for them to eat together at Junius' house later. Not good also had entrusted Nafiza all day there even though her youngest sister was clearly busy taking care of the twins. Jevan bought meatballs, martabak, and some ice cream packs as an apology.

“Beauty you all right?” ask Jevan.

“I'm good. Why the hell from earlier like someone disturbed your mind, huh?”

“I just thought, how do I tell my sister about this news.”

“Staying with you know, why? Nafiza must be willing to have a sister,” said Rere.

“Not that, I promised Nafiza sister but can not make Mama sick. If you are still very rich shoots that how do I explain to brother, yes?” jevan said that made Rere laugh. He then opened the dash board drawer and took something out of it.

Jevan saw what Rere was doing, and honestly he was still not out of his mind. This car he's been wearing every day for the last 5 years but he probably doesn't know if Rere keeps a lipstick in there.

“Since when did you nyimpen lipstick there?” ask Jevan.

“I always nyimpen one here just in case,” said Rere while polishing the thin lipstick on his lips slowly.

“Where do I look? Meeky?” ask Rere to Jevan.

Jevan immediately kissed the lips that had just been put on the lipstick. Mumpung is still a red light and not many people see because it is quiet, so Jevan just take the opportunity. Rere smiled, his finger moved to clear the reddish stains from Jevan's lips so that there were no marks there.

“You are indeed the best,” Jevan said before running his car again.
