Happy fasting ...

Clara POVs.
I deliberately did not use the elevator to go straight down to the motor park, which is located in the basement of this hospital building. I don't know why I want to spin around for a while through the hallways.
Several times I also had a chance to choke, while stepping my feet through a room that was once inhabited by my aunt. If you recall all those things, then automatically the memories of the first time I met Haikal will also come to mind.
True people say about the definition of the circle of hate and love diagram.
Which if in a circle diagram, we place hate and love on the side of the curve side by side. If we look carefully, we can draw a simple conclusion. The closest thing to love is hate. The most important thing is hate. Those two things are something that cannot be separated.
Because it was the pie chart that finally brought Haikal and I together. A sense of hate that eventually becomes love. Too cliche, but it's all true.
BRUK!!
Someone bumped into my shoulder, I immediately turned to look at the face that hit me.
"Sorry .. sorry, I'm not se—" The guy was gaping, his sentence was cut off as our eyes stared at each other.
I was surprised to see the man who hit me. A man I knew before. The man ...
"Alex?"
"Claras?"
"Hey, sorry I was accidentally. I was engrossed in my hape geliatin," he said, pointing out the cell phone he was holding.
"No problem. I looked that way again." I gave an excuse. Did I say I was fantasizing again? Haha funny.
"What are you doing here? Is anyone sick?" askinya.
"No I—"
🎶
You say you're sorry
But it's too late now
So save it, get gone, shut up
'Cause if you think I care about you now
Well, boy, I don't give a ****
🎶
"Oh, sorry I have to pick up this phone" she told me.
I waved my hand, "It's okay, I'm in a hurry too. You want to work again."
"Oh okay, bye."
"Bye." I hurried to take a thousand steps to get out of there. Leaving Alex.
Yeah, I know Alex. He's one of the insurance clients in my office, too. He used to go to my office to pay for his family's insurance policy.
'Ah, stupid! I should wish him a speedy recovery for the person he's been with at this hospital. Because client-friendliness is important to my office. Stupid, stupid!, I thought.
I just kept my feet up without looking back, towards the front lobby of the sick and finally got out of there and into the basement parking lot under the building.
Then I immediately put my motorcycle gloves back on and put some of my face cover on and put my jacket back on and put my work bag in the motorcycle seat.
I headed back to my office to end my lunch break today.

Tika POVs.
I don't know how many days I woke up from my sleep, in my own bedroom after giving birth. Then found Jefri who was also still asleep beside me. I woke her up, stroked her cheek until she opened her eyes.
"Wake up," I said slowly.
Our eyes looked at each other, he opened his eyes many times then turned sideways, taking me into his arms. A warm welcome that I miss at every opportunity. The approach that always makes my soul and body calm.
"Darling ...." My voice echoed in front of his chest which was field when calling out to him and he simply replied with his gloom.
Again I called out to him, for I wanted to hear his rather hoarse and heavy voice. "Darling ...."
Jefri slightly loosened his arms at me and tried to look at me and I raised my head. Back to his face.
"When can our son go home?" whinekku to him.
"Aren't you saying Haikal in a few days? They had to undergo a follow-up test once again" he explained in a hoarse voice, finally.
I chuckled at her, then hugged her back. I don't know why these few days I always feel like being pampered by him. I always wanted to be hugged.
"Here, I hug again. Satisfied first his embrace. Later I again in the office even sent home just to ask for a hug," rentotnya while hugging me back tightly.
"Eh make no mistake, according to the research hug it makes the body more healthy. Trus can create stress too." I'm kinkling.
Jefri relented and just chuckled amusedly. "Yes, it's up to you." Then kiss my forehead.
But suddenly his hand moved, creeping behind my back. I was still silent while feeling the elusan, but the longer the way to stroke my back the further down. Makes my mind go in a direction that is less true.
"Don't do it, ntar kepingin," I said in his arms.
Jefri just chuckled. But like a child, the more reprimanded it continues. He just kept running his hand on my back, which remained one of the sensitive spots on my body. Even after giving birth.
I let go of my arms to him. Then I looked up at him in my head, who was closing his eyes. "Usil!" lirihku firmly.
"How much do you want to do?"
"Yes hold it, ' right for forty days can not be so-so," I said while trying to sit down.
Suddenly Jefri pinned his face to the recess of my neck from behind. "Trus if you can't?" Then he kissed my neck and hugged me from behind. I shudder at it.
I immediately held her hand that was holding me on my neck and stomach. I moaned because Jefri took out his tongue to touch my ear.
"Sa-sayang .. a-i mas-sih nge-ras-ha sha-kit loh!" kataku. Then in an instant he stopped his activities.
"What part of the pain?" His voice turned stern, I turned to him.
"The stomach, 'will be out of surgery, '" I replied with a face that I deliberately made up, full of my pretenses. And it ends with a forced smile.
Jefri exhaled a long breath after his shoulder was seen rising due to oxygen inhalation. Again I showed a smile of regret. "What's wrong? Just get arrested first. Forty days is a minute if you don't always think there."
I stood up, then turned to look at her and lowered a part of my body and kissed her thick lips. No longer did I slip my tongue between her lips, afraid. Afraid that she thought I was teasing her again.
"Bath in there, let me get your clothes ready for the office. It's six o'clock." I pointed at the wall clock to remind him.
"Yes, yes." Jefri limply finally got up from his seat on the bed and immediately headed to the bathroom after pecking my cheek.
I tidied up the bed as soon as she disappeared from behind the bathroom door. Then go to the dress room to prepare shirts, pants and other necessities for him. After that, I went downstairs to prepare breakfast with bi Mince.
"Udah, Non. Just sit down, let auntie do the work." Bi Mince rebuked me who started helping him cook.
But I still did it and told bi Mince that my body started to ache if I just stayed on the bed. While preparing breakfast on the table, suddenly the bell from the front door of the house rang.
Tinctong!
I asked bi Mince to open the door, while I took over the task in the almost finished kitchen, to prepare a drink.
Not long after, bi Mince came back to me with a box of brown cardboard. The size is not large and not too small. It is about the size of a football.
"What is that, Bi?" I asked while pouring water into a glass.
Bi Mince placed the box on the dining table, on the side of the empty table. "Less to know, Non, that was the courier. He said make enon." Bi Mince explained the origin of the box.
I scrunched my forehead. Then immediately finish pouring water into the glass. Then walk to the box. "There's no sender's name, Bi?" Then I looked at Bi Mince.
Bi Mince only shrugged both of his shoulders while shaking his head. Signs of not knowing. Yeah, obviously bi Mince doesn't know, it's the courier who drove him. If I had received it myself, maybe I would have asked the courier.
But somehow I who had wanted to open the box, immediately paused my intention as soon as I heard Jefri's voice coming down from the room while calling me.
"Iang ...," he cried, making me turn and see him coming down the stairs.
I immediately asked Bi Mince to put this box in the kitchen. Bi Mince grabbed it from my hand then went to the kitchen to put it there.
As soon as I turned around, Jefri was already behind me making me surprised then we laughed together. He asked me to button his shirt's arm. He can usually do that on his own, without asking for my help.
***
After Jefri went to the office, I decided to continue reading a novel and sat on the side porch, which faced the pool. A Sherlock Holmes novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Almost all of his works always present a mysterious puzzle. Holmes's self-described "consulting detective" is known for his keen logical reasoning, disguise, and his skill at using forensic science to solve cases.
I love this novel because of Lisa. Yes, he was the one who introduced me to the art of reading this. What else is reading a novel, which contains only words that connect into a sentence. Because of Lisa, I spend more and more money to buy a novel.
Tinctong!
The doorbell sounds again. I saw Bi Mince hurrying to walk towards the front door to open the door. I continued my reading activity.
"Wohh, your son is here anyway!" the silent exclaim made me lift my face, turning my gaze from the sheet of paper towards the mamah who walked over to me.
"Your friend, who's here?" ask on the sidelines of the right and left cheeks alternately.
"Ownyyy! Ontyyy!" shouted a little boy I knew who the owner of the voice was. He is Iceland, Max's first child with Shilla who is now three years old.
"Besides dear ...," cried who then Iceland appeared behind the door and ran up to me.
I caught him and sat him on my lap. Then Iceland hugged me.
"Icel Kangen said the same onty," said Shilla who now also walked over and sat next to me.
"Oh yeah? Did you miss onty?" tanyaku then fun teasing Iceland. Leave my book covered on the table.
From noon to evening Shilla, my mother and Iceland accompanied me in this house. Even Shilla also accompanied Iceland who wanted to swim in the small pond we had.
"Trus when can the twins go home?" tanya mamah.
"Maybe a few more days, Mah." I answered the potluck and smiled at Iceland and her mother who were playing in the pool. Iceland loves water.
The smile I showed was a forced smile. How not? I haven't seen my two children in a week. Jefri also still forbade me to go to the hospital, he said, I have not healed properly. So it was Haikal every day who sent me photos or videos of the twins.

Pov Haikal.
Today I went back to check on Lisa's condition. Yes, I did take over Adam's duties for this one. Adam is currently performing an important operation.
"Then how did the patient progress in room 612?" ask one of the nurses on the sixth floor.
"Today's the scheduled release of her cervical collar, Doc."
I opened Lisa's documents. There it was seen if he had a pretty good improvement. His limbs were able to move, just like his hands had not been able to lift an object with a heavy load.
"My company to check it out and release the device" I told the nurse. We then stepped towards the inpatient room where Lisa was.
Slowly I knocked on the door, then I pressed the knob and pushed the door. Enter the room while Alex is helping Lisa to uphold the top of the gurney bed.
"Hallo, how are you?" I swipe at them.
Alex just smiled then Lisa answered my question, "It's getting more comfortable." Then he smiled too.
After that I told Lisa at this time I would remove the cervical collar attached to her neck. Yes, if ordinary people will call the tool as a neck brace. Lisa looked really excited when she heard me say that. Because he had been waiting for it for a long time, he even said that his neck even felt more stiff when wearing the tool.
One of the nurses helped me to remove some of the hooks, then slowly opened and removed them. Lisa moved her head and neck slowly.
"Where? It might still hurt. But hopefully the support bones are back strong."
Lisa smiled then slowly she nodded her head.
