The Wife (The Persecuted Wife)

Duka

Tired up? That's what Elno felt. In one day he sleeps for four hours. Work and continue like that, but the money earned always runs out.

Household needs are many, then the cost of education is not small. The desire for college leave always crossed his mind. However, seeing Kara who hopes he graduates as soon as possible makes Elno undo that intention.

"Currently. Now, my job is to be done, please" said Ilmi while putting a paper in front of Elno's desk.

Elno grabbed it, then stored the paper in a bag. After returning home, he will be busy with work on tasks that are never completed, then sorenya work at the nightclub until the morning blind.

"You don't want a jerk, Ted?" ask Ilmi.

"I want to succeed my own work" said Tedi.

Ilmi sneers. "Huh! Yesterday you also joined the nebeng. If we give Elno more and more duty, Elno's debt will be reduced."

Tedi looked at the ordinary face of Elno. If even his best friend would curse, then Tedi cursed him. Ilmi not lighten the burden, but add.

Elno is already difficult with work plus college assignments that make heads dizzy. Not to mention the household. Elno's body was already thin. The area around his eyes blackened. Elno looked older than her actual age.

The sound of the phone ringing is heard. Elno reached into the pocket of the shirt, then picked up the phone. He listened before answering in a panic.

"I'm home now!" elno said, then disconnected his phone.

"What's wrong?" ask Tedi.

Elno shuffled up from her chair. "You guys let me do my next course. I gotta go home. Finola's sick."

"Later tell us" Tedi's pinta.

Elno nodded. "Surely."

"Be careful on the road, El. Patience," said Ilmi reminded.

Elno ran towards the parking lot. Kara called because Finola was sick. Last night, her daughter was fussy. Kara had given him medication and his condition was mild when Elno left him.

The motor is turned on immediately. Elno drove it out the campus gate to the highway to her rental home.

...****************...

Kara tries to calm her fussy daughter. Her daughter's body is hot. It also compresses the necessary parts. Nearby neighbors told Kara to compress on her forehead, armpits and inner legs, and Finola's thugs did not go down at all.

The sound of two-wheeled vehicles was heard. Kara quickly opened the door because she knew the distinctive sound of Elno's motorbike. Husband's home. At least Kara's feeling was relieved.

"Honey, our daughter," said Kara.

Elno came down, then took off the helmet. He went into the house. "Have you been given medicine?"

Kara nodded. "Just thirty minutes ago. Do I have to be loved again?"

"Don't first. Wait for four hours. Ow hell! I don't know how many hours it's gonna be" Elno said.

"Change your clothes first. We're changing the sling of Finola. My shoulders are not strong anymore."

"Yes. I'll change my clothes first."

Elno stepped into the kitchen, she undressed. Washing hands and new face takes clothes in the bedroom. Kara unbinds the cloth that is on her shoulder. When Elno came, he gave her the sling.

"This Finola. Just like Papa," said Elno.

Finola was still crying. Kara wants to shed tears too. Really he does not know how to calm a fussy baby because of pain. No experienced mother helped him. Fortunately, there was a kind neighbor who gave advice.

Once in the hands of the father, Finola calmed down as well. Slowly Elno took off the sling, then lowered Finola onto the mattress. Kara's asleep, even Elno doesn't notice.

"Please calm down, dear, please" said Elno.

He lay down next to Kara. Feeling tired. Elno wanted to take a nap before leaving for work again this afternoon.

It felt like Elno had just fallen asleep, he had heard the screams of his wife. Kara screams while hugging Finola.

"What's wrong?" shouted Elno no less loudly.

"Finola. Her body convulsed."

Elno stood up, then left the house. I don't know what Kara shouted when she left, but Elno must definitely find someone to see her baby.

"Master!" exclamation Elno.

"What's up, El?"

"Congratulations?" Miss Warni quickly ran towards Elno's house.

Inside the house, Kara doesn't know what to do. He just hugged so Finola wouldn't spasm anymore. Miss Warni just walked in. He immediately took over by tilting Finola's body.

"High fever. You need to get Finola to the hospital," Warni said.

Kara's crying. He knew nothing, but he died on the advice of a neighbor. Elno rubbed her face. Her daughter was only two months old already suffering like this.

"Come, El. We're taking Finola to the hospital" Kara said.

"Yes, we're going to the hospital now."

Finola's body subsided from the seizure. Kara grabbed her daughter in the sling. He kissed Finola's hot forehead.

"Bring up as soon as possible" said Ms. Warni.

"Rome down, ma'am," said Elno.

"Don't worry about that."

...****************...

Arriving at the hospital, Finola was immediately taken to the emergency department. Elno calms Kara down to be patient in accepting all of this.

"Why is Finola like that?" ask Kara.

Elno. "I don't know. When I put him in bed, he just shut up."

"We should take him to the hospital immediately."

"Yes" answered Elno.

If time can be turned, then Elno will take Finola to the hospital. If only he had a lot of money, Elno would not think again to see a doctor.

The door of the action room opened. Kara and Elno are welcome to see the doctor inside. Kara sees her daughter on the patient's bed with her legs infused.

"We'll see the progress. The fever is very high" the doctor said.

"My son's okay, right?" ask Kara.

"The fever is high and you take it when the condition is severe. Let's just pray your son gets better tonight."

"Yes, Doc. Thank you," said Elno.

The doctor and nurse left after giving Finola first aid. Elno was forced to work to accompany his wife and child.

It's afternoon. No sisters have been to the treatment room. Infusion fluid is also almost ready to run out and must be replaced.

"El, you call her sister. Is the infusion too good? It's over, " said Kara.

Elno nodded, then walked out. He called the nurse to check. Health workers came with a bottle of infusion and replaced Flora with a new one.

Not long after the nurse came out, the doctor came back to check. The words spoken are the same. Kara and Elno have to wait for their daughter's development.

"If a lot of money is not like this service," said Kara.

"Pray that Finola will be fine" Elno said.

Later that night, Elno is welcome to come out. Only Kara can accompany her daughter. Finola was crying again. Kara suckled him, and then things happened again.

Deman Finola did not come down, and he had another seizure. Kara pressed the red button next to the patient's gurney.

"Honey," said Kara.

Nobody's coming yet. Kara pushed the red button again. Finola suddenly fell silent and Kara hugged him. Elno who was interrupted upon the steps of the nurse immediately woke up. He just went into his daughter's room in the care.

"Why is he having another seizure? Why don't you come quickly?" shout Kara.

"Patience, Mom. The patient is not just the mother," said the nurse.

A woman in white uniform came to take over. He checked, then took a deep breath.

"Your child cannot be saved."
