My mother-in-law smiled to see me crying bitterly because the doctor had just told me that I had lost my new baby the size of a bean. Things caused by pressure, lack of intake, and my physical weakness.
How not, if I only consume a little food every day, even that is only the leftovers of my mother-in-law. But not just because that's the cause.
That's not the real thing!
I wanted to shout that, but I didn't get the slightest bit of courage.
"Women..patient yes, son. Maybe the child has not been your fortune, God will certainly give more for the two of you, "Mama Siska cried bitterly, although out of nowhere she got her fake tears.
He hugged me who was just stiff. I couldn't move my body just a little bit, my whole body felt crumpled. Even to cry now I feel like I can no longer.
Why don't you just kill me, mother-in-law?
Or is this your goal? Kill Rega's successor, so that no candidate will continue my husband's company? And it's Raka you're gonna ask?
Maybe that's the main purpose. But why would he kill an unformed fetus?
My heart screams, berates and curses my mother-in-law and her beloved son who has made me this way. Those who killed my son!
But I can only resist without a sound. My tears never stop melting soaking clothes on my shoulders which now began to hurt. Maybe because of the scar of my mother-in-law's torment that was exposed to my tears at this time, causing a very intense pain.
"Shh." I grimaced with pain.
I couldn't look at my husband who was looking at me with an increasingly disgusted look, what else had Siska's mother told him?
As my heart was breaking from the loss of my future son who was just about to form a life in my womb, he had to come loose and just decay because of the cruelty committed by his own step-grandmother.
But Rega just fell silent, not knowing what was on his mind. Does he feel lost too? Or on the contrary, instead, he felt happy because the child he thought was the result of my affair with another man had died.
I'm getting crushed, I'm not accepted as a daughter-in-law, I'm not considered a wife, now I also feel bad being a mother.
"Remaintain everything immediately, Robin. " Without Aggita knowing, Rega was crying in silence.
The doctor was suspicious of me who was always grimacing and enduring the pain, even biting my lower lip as the doctor examined me by holding my hand. Because I myself am not able to move freely, even to drink it is the nurse who helps me.
It was fortunate that Mama Siska had returned home since then, so she did not know when the doctor examined me. The hospital that is now different from the one that took care of me when Mama Siska tortured me with the heat of the electric iron.
How shocked the doctor was when he saw the wound on my hand, there were blistering wounds that peeled off and came back to bleed. It was scuffed, scratched and there was also a bruise on my left hand.
"What exactly is a scar, Doc? " ask Rega who seems to want to make sure of something.
"This blister wound, usually caused by being exposed to a hot object, such as hot water, fire, hot pot or even iron, "bright doctor made Rega's forehead wrinkled deep.
"What does Anggita do until it can be exposed to such objects? Did he do homework all this time, and accidentally hit by objects caused by the doctor earlier? " Riga seemed silent as one who was thinking.
Did he think about my wounds?
Sister tilted my body, the doctor asked her to examine my body thoroughly. As the nurse undressed, she screamed in surprise at the sight of all the wounds on my back.
"It-it? " Rega widened her eyes, her petals shaking in disbelief at what her own eyes were witnessing.
"God."." the doctor's murmur sounded in my ear.
"It's like a lash or even a punch, and it's also a burn scar, a blister that's been peeling back" the doctor told Rega who was still agape.
"Oh my God.. What happened to my wife? I sinned by ignoring him all this time? Even without my knowledge, he was wounded and tortured. But who had done such a cruel thing to her? "
What is he thinking? his face was full of question marks. I just kept the pain all over my body. Wanted to ask Rega, but there was no way he would answer me. Doesn't he hate me so much?
"Suster, prepare all the equipment to treat all the injuries to Ibu Anggita, "the doctor said later.
"Well, Doc, "the nurse came out of my room to get all the necessary equipment.
At Rega's request I wasn't transferred to the operating room anymore, I don't know what the man thought and wanted. I really don't understand how his mind goes. His face repeatedly indicated a question. And also a very deep sadness, but I did not dare to greet him at all.
The doctor injected drugs a few times in my back. Maybe the wound was too severe so I had to be sedated so I wouldn't feel too much pain.
"Blood's still out again, Doc? " ask Rega.
"Yes, fresh blood mixed with white blood that had originally closed the wound but instead opened again. It seems that it is because of the lash effect that this is the cause, "
I can still catch the shadow of Rega watching the doctor treat my back. My entire back which is possible right now is as intangible as my back again. Given how my mother-in-law was sticking hot irons on my back firmly, the heat and pain ran through my heart.
"Allow us to photograph him to follow up in the future, sir, "the doctor said to make me wonder.
Follow up? Is the doctor going to free me from my mother-in-law's bondage?
Will I be free when anyone finds out about this?
"Look, Doc. Not that I don't allow it, please take a portrait, I will also take a picture. But let me take care of this in the future, "
The doctor seemed to think, maybe he as an outsider actually felt suspicious of Rega who seemed to forbid the doctor to take care of my case.
"Does the doctor suspect I did all that? " ask Rega who was stared at in such a way by the doctor.
"To be honest, yes, but I believe in you. But I'm still going to keep these photos and videos just in case until you don't report it immediately means my guess is correct, "
What kind of doctor is he? How dare he threaten Rega? But my husband was not angry, but he nodded and shook the doctor's hand.
The nurse had finished cleaning the blood that was attached, now the doctor began to bandage my back from top to bottom. My whole back is now wrapped in bandages. Hopefully it will heal soon and return to how it was. Hopeful.
"But besides you, there's actually another person I suspect. But I don't know, please take care of it first if it's not the culprit, "
"Who, Doc? "
