The Third Party

27. Become a Nurse

"Of course" I answered without hesitation.

I'm not doing this because I want to take my in-laws' heart. My in-laws' hearts won't melt just by giving me attention and affection. Even if I were to become his slave for life would not change his attitude towards me. My in-laws would only be devastated if I gave him enough money and at the moment I can't.

I'm doing this because I can't bear to see Handi sad. He was very worried about his mother's condition. Just as he sacrificed for me, I will sacrifice for him. I will take care of her mother as long as she works, even until I recover. If later my sacrifice turned out to make her mother aware and then want to accept me as her daughter-in-law, then it was out of plan because I did this purely for the sake of Handi.

"Thank you Emma, I can work quietly if you take care of me."

"Han, why didn't Mas Hasan and Mas Harun come when she called them?"

"They're busy" replied Handi indifferently. I again saw disappointment on his face when talking about his two brothers. Handi the least considered and most wasted child is precisely the most caring and caring to his mother.

I'm sorry I asked that question.

"We should sleep. It's night." It's night."

"You sleep in your mother's room only so that you don't have to shout to call you if you need you at any time."

"Are you okay sleeping here?"

"No, I'm fine with Damar."

Her morning...

Sandy was ready to go to work. I finished cooking and cleaning the house.

"Emm, will you give me some food and make sure I take the medicine?" pinta Handi in between breakfast.

He made sure his mother had breakfast and taken her medicine first. After that, he was ready to work.

I'm nodding. "You'll be home as usual, won't you?"

"Yes ... Yes already. I have to go now."

I nodded back. "Be careful" I replied while kissing the back of his hand.

"Titip mom." I nodded for the third time.

After Handi's departure I cleaned the dining table and went to my in-laws' room.

"Does mom need anything?" my many. My in-laws just shook their heads.

"Alright, later if you need anything call me. I'm outside."

Then I came out of my in-laws room. But I briefly looked at my in-laws in her room to make sure she didn't need anything.

Right at noon I went to my in-laws room to deliver lunch and give her medicine.

"Mom, eat first after that take the medicine."

My in-laws responded weakly. Although his condition looked better but his body was still quite limp.

I was about to bribe her like Handi did but my in-laws rejected her. She wanted to sit down and eat by herself so I helped my mother-in-law to sit and lean on the back of the bed.

My in-laws don't talk much. He uses gestures more often if he wants something.

After eating some bribes my in-laws stopped.

"Here you go" he said and gave the plate to me.

"Yes already, it's okay. Don't be forced, the important thing is that something goes into the stomach." Then I gave the medicine to my in-laws and he took it immediately.

"Mom feel better?"

"Lumayan," he replied slowly.

"No. I want to sleep."

"All right." Then I came out of my in-laws' room so she could rest comfortably. I'm like a professional nurse here.

Moments later Mas Hasan came, as he usually came alone. Mas Hasan immediately went into my in-laws room to see how he was doing, but soon he came out.

"Have you slept for a long time?" mas Hasan asked after he saw the state of his mother.

"Just now Mas. I'm off the medication after I sleep."

"How is he doing? Is it better?"

"Yes compared to last night. Maternal hypertension accompanied by dehydration." I'm copying what Handi said last night.

"Thank you, Emma, for taking care of me." Then Mas Hasan took out his wallet. He took money out of a large wallet.

"I can't wait until mom wakes up. So I put this money. Please give it to mom later for medical expenses."

"Sorry, I can't. Mas Hasan will come back later if you wake up and then Mas Hasan can give it to you."

I don't want to hold onto money that isn't mine because in this house money is a very sensitive thing. After all, did Mas Hasan not want to talk or talk to his mother? Don't want to ask about her mother's situation directly?

"I don't have time!"

"Or Mas Hasan just transfer to mom's account."

"Can't, I'll get caught by Rina."

Mas Hasan kept forcing the money on me and I couldn't resist.

Then Mas Hasan took out his wallet again and took out some money.

"This is for you. As a token of gratitude for taking care of my mother."

What??? I can't believe this. Should everything be valued with money?

"No need, really. I took care of mom because Handi asked."

"If you have any hassles, let's just say, later I'll discuss the same Aaron may need to pay for the services of a nurse to look after the mother. This just take the money." Mas Hasan continued to give the money to me.

"No, thank you."

"Yes already ... " Mas Hasan put the money back in his wallet. "Don't forget to tell mom that I came to visit" Mas Hasan said before leaving.

I don't know how my in-laws educate their children, but I see no concern among them.

Even his mother was sick they just gave money and left without showing the slightest worry. Only Sandy is different. Is it possible that Handi was educated by his father because Handi always said that he was closer to his father when his father was alive.

In the afternoon my in-laws were much better. He had been able to walk on his own even to the restroom by himself. I went to my in-laws to give the money that Mas Hasan left me.

"Bus ... Mas Hasan came in the afternoon, but my mother was sleeping. Mas Hasan did not dare to wake mother because mother looks very sound. So Mas Hasan went straight home."

My in-laws glanced at me. His cynical aura was still visible despite being sick.

"He said something? Or will he come back?"

"No, Mas Hasan said he was busy. But Mas Hasan left this for me." I gave him the money he had left me.

My in-laws took the money. He immediately counted the numbers. It seems like my in-laws forgot that he was sick when he was holding money. Finished counting my in-laws back to look at me.

"You're not reducing it, are you?"

Holy jeez!!!
