THE STRUGGLE OF A WIDOW

INNER TURMOIL

Rayan who does not like to dissolve if there is a problem, wants it to be resolved immediately, forcing Ayana to immediately solve the problem. But Ayana still cling to her wishes.

Rayan finally gave up. For the more he forced his will, the more Ayana sobbed in her tears.

"Jas.. But then eat first huh..? Since the afternoon you haven't eaten.." Said Rayan stroking Ayana's arm

"Prince.. Want to play with papa..?" Tanya Rayan turned to approach the child who was busy with his own world

"Mo mama mama.." The Prince's reply made Rayan smile wryly

All of that did not escape Ayana's sight. Although not hearty, but he remained silent.

Rayan finally chose to go out of the room of the child to his private room and the wife. After performing the delayed prayer, Rayan laid her tired body on the bed still with her prayer clothes.

Without waiting for long, Rayan was asleep in the cradle of dreams.

Meanwhile, at a hospital, Arman, who had regained consciousness a few minutes ago, kept calling out the names of Ayana and Yuki in turn. So that makes Ms. Mida overwhelmed calm Arman because Arman does not care about the explanation of Ms. Mida and Rizal sir.

"That.. Try calling the doctor quick reward.." Urge bu Mida

"Yes ma.. Wait here a minute.." Mr. Rizal rushes out of the ICU room

Shortly after, Dr. Haris and the two nurses arrive at Arman's room. After doing a few tests, Haris's doctor finished his examination.

"Could you come into my room for a second..?" Doctor Haris looked at both Arman's parents who were then nodding at the two.

"Let's come with me.." Doctor Haris said before leaving the ICU room.

Arriving in the private room of doctor Haris, both were invited to sit in the front seat of the work desk by doctor Haris.

"Look, ma'am, sir.. Let me explain first the patient's condition.." Call Dr. Haris before you start

"Look, this patient named Arman is now experiencing lacunar amnesia.. Where people with amnesia will experience memory loss about an event randomly.. And this Mr. Arman's experience can only remember his past.." Obviously Dr. Haris

Mr. Rizal and Ms. Mida simultaneously negangg with a sad face hearing the explanation from Dr. Haris.

"So my son lost his memory Doc..? Is my child still healing..?" Ask Ms. Mida with eyes that start to look glassy

"God willing, ma'am.. This type of amnesia will not damage memories in the past or that have just happened.. May time pass, Mr. Arman's memory will recover.."

"It is expected with treatment and is helped to arouse the disease.. But don't push too hard, slow down.." Obviously Dr. Haris smiled

"Thank God then.." Said Mr. Rizal in gratitude looking at Dr. Haris

Bu Mida dissolved in her sadness.

"Okay doc, then we'll excuse you.." Said Mr. Rizal nodded by the doctor

"Ma, where's Ayana..? Why isn't she here..?" Arman asked with a face that was still a little bluish bruise on the temples and cheeks

Now Arman, whose condition has become more stable, has finally been moved to the treatment room. The father chose the VVIP room for his beloved son.

Arman's hand continued to rise holding his head wrapped in bandages. Mr. Rizal who was sitting leaning on the sofa in the front room of the tv, could only take a breath and throw it slowly heard Arman's whining.

"Ayana's still at home, son.. You were a wife first, huh..? Let it heal quickly.." Mida tried to smile in front of her beloved child.

"Yuki mana ma'am.. Does he know his father's in the hospital..?" Arman asked again, which made Mida suddenly look at her husband.

Ms. Mida looked down sad. He also missed his favorite grandson very much. Despite his relationship with Ayana before, Yuki's presence is able to make him accept the son-in-law although still not so familiar.

"really.. Yuki must be sad.. Thanks pah.. Yuki don't let me know yet.." Said Arman who finally escaped tears bu Mida

Because the wound on his head is getting sicker, Arman chose to close his eyes and rest.

Seeing that Mida was trying to hold back her crying so that it would not be heard by Arman, Rizal approached her and took her in his arms. His hands continued to gently stroke the wife's back until it calmed down.

At 12 pm, Ayana woke up to the whimper of the Prince who kept asking for milk. Ayana was surprised when she saw beside the Prince, Miss Lela was sitting with a milk bottle in her hand.

"Mom..? How come you're here..?" Tanya Ayana frowned looking at the mother

"Mom has been waking you up since.. But you slept hard in the wake of it.." Replied Lela while giving milk to the Prince

"Mother sleeps here too..?" Tanya Ayana did not understand

"Yes, I sleep here.." Answer the Mother

"It's a good thing that the bed is big, so fit three.. Why are you sleeping here while your husband is in your room..?" Ayana is confused as to what to answer the mother's question

"Reverse to your room.. The prince is used to sleeping with Mom.." Another impact

Ayana thought for a moment. Worrying between being honest with the mother or obeying the mother to return to her room where the husband is there.

Seeing the silence of Ayana, Miss Lela guessed that both of them were having problems. But Ms. Lela who is not accustomed to interfere in the household affairs of the child on the grounds that not to aggravate the situation, chose the temple not to know.

"It's late, son.. Poor husband you also overslept just like you.. Back to the room.." Said bu Lela

Want to not want Ayana to obey the orders of the mother. Although it was still hard to get into her room and sleep in bed with her husband which made her disappointed today.

Arriving at the room door, Ayana opened the room door slowly. His forehead frowned when he found the room lights that were still on.

Slowly she went inside, and her eyes widened, finding her husband sleeping on his back still complete with his sarong and prayer clothes.

Seeing the face of the husband who was shady while sleeping, Ayana's heart was melted from her ego. He slowly sat down on the side of the bed next to his husband. Her hands lifted off the peci on the husband's head and enveloped his body attentively.

Rayan who was quite tired with his first activity in the hospital, not disturbed in the least by what was done by his wife.

After turning off the headlights and only turning on the dim lights on the nightstand, he also laid his body beside the husband. Occasionally his eyes glanced towards Rayan's face.

Recollecting Rayan's explanation to him while in the child's room. Even his request to prove by asking him to check the cctv in the hospital.

Ayana believes her husband is not lying. And Ayana knew how her husband felt about her. It's just that her heart still hurts when she sees her husband being hugged by another woman. Moreover it was a woman in her husband's past.

Ayana tilted her position facing towards Rayan. She slowly moved her body closer and hugged her husband.

"I'm sorry.." Inwardly
