Wife Interlude

Chapter.52 Jealousy

Anjas walked into the house with his limp steps, it had been two days that he did not come home, because of overtime at the office. Now he just wants to rest because his body is very tired.

Work is piling up, while Hilman is out of town to meet one of his clients, as well as attending their campus reunion.

However, Syafira's crying voice now distracts her, with a frowning forehead deep, Anjas turns his steps towards Syafira's room.

"What's up, Siti? Why is Syafira crying?" anjas asked as soon as he opened the door, he saw Siti ‐-nanny Syafira-is trying to calm the boy down.

"This, sir-Non Syafira's body has been hot since last night," replied Siti while holding the five-year-old child.

"Where's Dance?" anjas asked when he saw that Dance wasn't there.

"Eum, that, Mr-" Siti seemed reluctant to speak.

"What's up, Siti?!" Anjas spoke with great emphasis. He is so tired now that he cannot be patient.

"Mother Tari has not come home, sir," said Siti with her head lowered, as if she was the one doing the wrong thing.

"Since when?" asked Anjas still in a lazy tone of voice.

"Eum, since yesterday, sir." Sinti answered while bowing her head in, fearing the anger of the master.

"What?! Wherever he was, until he didn't come home yesterday, did he forget that he had a husband and children to take care of?!" Unknowingly Anjas raised his voice, until Syafira who was closing her eyes immediately woke up and cried even louder.

"S-I don't know, sir," Siti's bell.

Seeing Syafira's increasingly tight cries while calling out to her, Anjas began to catch his breath, he approached the sick girl, even though her body was very tired. Anjas then placed the back of his hand on Syafira's forehead.

"It was hot" he murmured, widening his eyes, then glanced at the very young nanny Syafira.

Syafira looked at the face of Anjas, with her arms outstretched asking to be carried. The boy missed his parents' love.

"Here, dear," Anjas said as he carried Syafira, in trying to temper his anger at Tari in front of Syafira.

"Have you contacted Tari?" ask Anjas while starting to hold the child.

"Already, Sir. But there's no answer." Siti looked down scared.

Anjas again exhaled a rough breath, upon hearing the answer from his babysitter.

"Prepare Fira's equipment, we go to the hospital now" Anjas said, then passed out of the room.

"Good, sir."

A while later Anjas had arrived at the hospital he was heading to, where Tari used to check herself out. All this time he had never taken care of Syafira's problems, and it was hard for him now.

"I'll sign up first, sir," Siti's permission when she sees Anjas is confused.

"Heem, okay." Anjas nodded still while holding Syafira. The child had not been able to escape from the sling of the father, he said afraid of being left again.

Anjas then chose to sit in the waiting chair, while waiting for Siti to finish registering, until a while later, the young woman who he said was a widow returned with a smiling face relieved.

"It is fortunate that the doctor still has a practice schedule," he said as soon as he arrived in front of Anjas. After that, the two now walked down the hospital corridor to go to the child examination room. They even had to take the elevator, as the room was on the third floor of the hospital.

Once there, it turns out that the patient who waits is still quite a lot, until Anjas has to wait his turn. A tired body, now more and more not because it feels, when imagining the length of the queue.

.

Meanwhile, in one of the luxury hotels located in the center of the capital, the sunlight, disturbed the sleep of someone there. The woman began to open her eyes with a head that felt very heavy.

Slowly he started to get up then leaned his body on the head of the bed while starting to gather consciousness.

As his consciousness began to recover, the flash of events last night began to return to his memory.

Yes, since yesterday he's been out of town with Hilman who wants to attend their college reunion. The woman needed solace from the heartache that now always torments her.

Overnight Dari so enjoy a party held at one of the bars in the capital city by drinking.

Dance frowned, as her memories came to a halt when she had already finished almost two bottles of drink by herself. Hilman who was there with him then took him forcibly from the party by carrying him.

Waitaminute!

That's not just any stuff. That was, the clothes he was wearing last night, complete with his inner clothes.

"Geez!" Dari almost memeik in surprise, he then turned his eyes on his own body, which turned out to be naked.

His eyes now turned to his side. He was even more surprised when he saw Hilman who seemed to be fast asleep there. Another one that made him even open his mouth was; hilman's state was not much different from his.

Dance, holding her head, forced her memories to return. He needed his memories last night, to clarify the current situation.

However, after all this time he tried to remember it, there was not at all a flash of shadow present when he had already left the party area together with Hilman.

"Damn!" pissed off.

"Huk!" Long thought it turned out to only make his head more dizzy, until it felt nauseous starting to attack him.

Dance covered her mouth, she got out of bed by forcefully pulling the blanket that covered her and Hilman's body. The woman then ran to the toilet, making Hilman forced to open his eyes, because of the movement made by Tari.

The man was only seen grinning when he saw the bathroom door closed, then started to get up and pick up his clothes back which were scattered on the floor.

.

Anjas got up from the waiting chair, when the name of the child was called for inspection. He took his broad steps towards the doctor's room, with Syafira in his carrier.

But he then stopped his steps suddenly, when he saw someone who was now sitting in the doctor's chair while looking at his child's medical history.

The two men then face each other, as the doctor lifts his head with a gentle smile. But in fact it looks hypocritical and annoying for Anjas.

Both Anjas and Arya now seem silent to each other for a while, until Arya who first realized to continue her duties as a doctor professionally.

"Hot since when?" arya asked with a tone of voice that turned a little awkward. It is very different from the attitude of Arya who is gentle and friendly as usual when receiving patients, until the nurse who accompanies him also scrunched his forehead.

"Since last night, Doc. I've tried compresses and give fever-lowering medication, but the fever does not go down." Siti answered straightforwardly, without knowing the conflict that occurred between her master and the doctor in front of her.

"Alright, let's check, this little princess," Arya said as she headed for the examination gurney, smiling sincerely at Syafira.

Anjas clucked and followed Arya to the examination gurney. He did not like this situation, although his heart also felt curious, how someone who had stayed in the iron bars, could become a doctor.

Syafira had to cry, did not want to let go of Anjas' embrace, until finally Arya had to intervene seduce him, because Anjas who looks stiff.

Due to the closeness of Arya and the children, and the experience of facing various children in her orphanage and also her patients, Arya managed to calm Syafira. The boy was also willing to be examined by Arya.

For the first time in years, Arya now stands side by side with Anjas again, because the incident now seems to make the two glance at each other.

Yes, actually today is not Arya's schedule for practice. However, because one of the doctors was having a hitch, so he replaced it.

Anjas was quite impressed by Arya's profesional attitude and close to the children, while he was not allowed to be close to other people's children, with Syafira alone, he often ignored her.

After telling her diagnosis and giving advice to deal with Syafira's heat and fussiness, Arya also gave a prescription for Anjas cane at the hospital pharmacy.

Anjas went straight outside once the inspection was completed. However, now what he saw in front of the doctor's room made him widen his eyes.

In one of the waiting chairs that turned out to be empty because he seemed to be the last patient, seen Rina and Bintang who were sitting while chatting.

Anjas had stopped his steps, for a while he was glued when he saw the cheerful laughter of Rina and the Stars there.

Rina who could also meet with Anjas, although quickly the woman immediately diverted it again. Until Anjas can only resist his disappointment, then continue his steps.

"Hi, honey, you've come!" Arya who had just come out of her room and saw Rina was also a Star, immediately walked over with a face full of enthusiasm.

Rina and Bintang stood up to welcome such a meaningful man in their lives. The star was even seen directly hugging Arya without hesitation.

The sight was clearly seen by Anjas, to make his heart feel hot. Whether it was for the happiness of Rina, or for the closeness of Star and Arya.

All he knew was that he was currently jealous.
