THE STRUGGLE OF A WIDOW

SUSY'S SECRET

"Sus, sister, sister wait a minute.." Tristan tried to arrest one of the nurses on duty in the ER room.

"Sorry, can I help you..?" Say the nurse politely.

"Oh yes.. I'd like to ask.. I'm a relative of Susi, that patient.. " Tristan, who is still confused, has to start where the question is.

While the nurse guard is faithfully waiting for Tristan to continue, he said.

"Eh like this, sus.. I did not accidentally hear, he said that my relatives had been treated here with an obstetrician.. Is true..?" Tristan asked curiously looking at the sister's face.

"Oh that.. Yes, and coincidentally at that time I was also on duty when his mother was in care.." Answer the sister.

"Actually he why can be treated at that time..?" Tristan, who was not satisfied with the nurse's answer, continued to scold her with questions.

Tristan knows that the question has already led to Susi's privacy. But because of his high level of curiosity, what really happened to Susi, a person he just knew but had become his friend, made him continue to want to know.

"I'm sorry, I can't explain more.. If the mas want to know, this mas can ask directly to the doctor Retno only.. Excuse me.." The nurse answered and hurried to leave Tristan with curiosity.

Because Retno doctor is still in the surgical room, then Susi examination was forced not done.

Susi was only able to get first aid from a general practitioner who served in the ER room. While Tristan, still faithfully accompanied Susi while playing her phone beside Susi who was lying weak.

Rayan who slept so soundly, suddenly delirious with a body that began to be filled with sweat where.

Ayana who happened to have just entered the intention of checking her husband's condition because the day had begun to afternoon, was shocked and panicked approaching her husband.

Ayana tried to wake her husband by gently shaking his shoulder.

Rayan who woke up from her nightmare, continued beristighfar relentlessly with a breath of innocence.

Ayana mentapa dear face of the husband with hands that continue to wipe the sweat all over the face of the husband.

Once in a while Ayana stroked the chest of her husband trying to calm him attentively.

"It's a sweet drink first.." Ayana gives a glass of water that she had prepared at the room table when her husband needs to wake up later.

Rayan also received a glass in Ayana's hand and immediately gulped it down without rest. His breathing began to be regular.

Ayana continued to stroke the husband's arm patiently.

As Rayan looked at Ayana's face, the sweet smiling wife looked at her. Makes Rayan feel calm.

"Mas, we're going to the hospital, right..? your fever is high, baby.. Want ya..?" Ayana said softly as if she was persuading a child because Rayan since morning refused to seek treatment on the grounds of only the effects of soy sauce.

But this time Rayan nodded in agreement to ask the wife to seek treatment to the hospital.

With her sweetest smile, Ayana spontaneously kissed her husband's lips and rushed towards the wardrobe.

It did not take long, Ayana appeared with a beautiful look and brought a change of clothes for her husband.

"Put the shirt off first, huh..? Here, baby, I'll help you.." Ayana painstakingly helps Rayan change her sweat-soaked clothes and pants like her little child.

Rayan smiled at Ayana's treatment of her.

"This is what it's like to have a wife.. Why did God lend you to others first, dear..? until I can just get your attention like this.. It should have been a long time ago, dear.." Said with a look that could not be separated in the face of the wife.

Ayana laughed at the outpouring of her husband's heart.

"My husband baby.. His name is soul mate, death and sustenance that no one knows.. And if I had known from the beginning my household would have been destroyed, I would not have married at that time.. I am so grateful for what is happening now.." Ayana stroked the husband's arm.

Rayan smiled faintly in response to the wife.

"Mas.. Thank you for being in my life right now.. Thank you for accepting my son's presence in your life.. Thank you for accepting my shortcomings and loving me so far.."

"I don't know what to give you because there's nothing I have and nothing to be proud of in my life to present to you.." Ayana said with a small smile looking at the husband's face.

Rayan did not answer a word other than a warm hug and kiss on the top of Ayana's head many times.

"Mas.. When to leave if you keep talking gini..? ' Ayana breaks her husband's embrace.

"Don't tell me you're not getting treatment, are you..?" Threaten Ayana with bulging eyes that actually look cute in the eyes of Rayan.

Rayan kissed Ayana's lips at a glance and then went down from the bed to the exit without a word.

Ayana, who saw her husband come out, rushed to get her bag and her husband's purse which was usually stored in the nightstand drawer next to her bed and followed the husband who had walked to the car garage.

"Where's my brother's condition..?" Tristan is forced to claim to be the older brother of Susi in order to get complete information about Susi's condition easily.

Susi looked at Tristan and the doctor in turn.

"Tan, you go home first huh..? Thank you for bringing me here before.." Susi, who does not want her privacy to be known by others, especially Tristan, was forced to expel Tristan subtly.

"Dok..? Tristan ignored Susi's words.

"I've advised before to bedrest without doing the activity first. Especially during recovery.." Said the doctor while busy reading Susi's medical record.

Susi was silent. His heart suddenly broke due to Tristan's presence there.

"Do you do heavy work..? lifting heavy goods also before a month of recovery period..?" Said doctor Retno while removing the stethoscope in her ear shortly after checking Susi's condition.

Susi is nervous and confused to respond or not to Retno's remarks and questions with occasional eyes glancing towards Tristan.

While Tristan stared at the confused doctor Retno as well as curious that increasingly skyrocketed.

"Please take care of the administration first, huh..? Tonight your sister has to be unlocked because there's a bit of swelling in the womb.." Retno's doctor told Tristan.

"Swelling doc..? The content..?" Tristan is getting confused.

Susi closed her eyes. He no longer knew what to do because Tristan slowly began to know what had happened to him.

"Yes like that. Heavy activity after miscarriage with the condition of the womb that has just miscarried is very risky. It's only been two months." Obviously doctor Retno

"It could be that this is caused by a blood that is not yet clean. I have to do further tests to find out more clearly the cause of the abdominal pain that your sister is experiencing." Obviously Retno doctor added.

"Okay doc thank you.. " Answer Tristan politely.

"I'll excuse you first.." Retno doctor said kindly.

After Retno's departure, Tristan looked at Susi's face flatly.

Susi was silent. This time he must forcefully bury far away his hopes on Tristan.

It's not that he doesn't want to be honest about what really happened to him. It's just that Tristan's heart doesn't lead to him.

Making Susi in a position of worry, kites are pulled thread.

"I hope that after I return from taking care of your care administration, you've prepared an explanation for me.." Tristan said with great emphasis.

"Who did he have to ask for an explanation..? Basic unclear.." Inner Susi

Susi looked at Tristan's back which started to pass leaving the room in annoyance.
