Wife Interlude

Chapter.76 Old man pretentious

Anjas sat quietly on the hospital waiting chair with Syafira still inside his lap, his mind raging with various prejudices spinning inside his head.

Syafira had stopped crying, now the child was just sitting quietly while leaning his head on the chest of the father, his eyes were glued to the door of the emergency room that had not yet opened, after the gurney that brought Tari inside.

"Anjas, what are you doing here with Syafira?" Anjas and Syafira instantly shifted their eyes when they heard their names being called.

"Rina?" lirih Anjas with a pushy look at the woman who was now seen standing in front of him.

"Why are you here?" asked Rina who was still looking at the confused man in front of her, her face looked worried when she saw there were blood spots on Anjas's clothes.

"Dance of the accident, Rin, he is being examined inside," Anjas replied softly, turning his gaze back to the door that was still closed in front of him.

"Astagfirullahaladzim," said Rina who was surprised to hear an answer from Anjas, she followed Anjas's view and guessed that Dance was inside right now.

"Have you told your family?" asked Rina slowly, she looked with concern at Anjas who was so badly slumped as well as the tired face of Syafira.

"Not yet." Anjas shook his head weakly, he forgot about it, since his mind was only about the condition of Dance.

Rina was silent for a while, she then turned to look at the Star standing beside her, with the look of Rina's eyes as if she was asking permission to take Syafira with them so that the girl could be a little comforted.

"Syafira, want to join the aunt and star, we buy ice cream," persuaded Rina while crouching in front of Anjas and Syafira.

"But, I want to see Mama," answered Shafira softly, the girl looked down with her head with her nose that was starting to turn red, preparing to cry again.

"Mama is being examined by the doctor first to be healed, now Syafira same aunt first so that Papa can contact Syafira's grandparents yes," said Rina again, trying to seduce the child of her ex-husband.

"Well, right, Star?" Lina turned to look at the Star that had just been standing next to her without speaking anything.

"Yes, Mah," nodding the Star in an awkward voice, the boy was not used to playing with girls.

Hearing the name of Bintang Anjas who had been unaware of the existence of the child finally saw it, he smiled faintly at the child he had long forgotten about.

"You're here, too, Star?" she asked with quivering lips, there was guilt in her heart because she had left Rina and the Stars.

However, it seemed like Bintang was not interested in Anjas, he just nodded while taking a quick look at Anjas then turned to look at Syafira.

"Let's play .. in this hospital there is a playground for his children. I'm sure your mother will be healed, Papa I'm also a doctor, she often treats people until healed," said Bintang with a cheerful face and proud eyes when telling Arya to Syafira.

It hurt Anjas heart when he heard the words of the Star about the figure of the father who he knew it must be Arya. The star looks so proud of Arya as her father. While he who is his biological father, even never knew his own son, until now the Star does not know if there is a blood relationship between them.

I'm your real father, Star. He wanted to say that, but he was self-conscious, if he had never been there for his son.

"Then Papa can you heal my Mama?" asked Syafira plain clear round eyes that look willing quickly.

Rina smiled, The stars seem to be willing to cooperate with her so that Syafira can come with them first.

"So, Syafira wants to join aunt and star?" Rina did not answer Syafira's question, she also interrupted Bintang's words, because Arya was a pediatrician.

"Later Papa tidakin aunt if Mama has gone outside, so we can go straight back," continued Rina again.

After a moment of silence Syafira finally wants to come along with Rina and Bintang.

"Tell your family first and get changed, there's blood on your back" Rina said before leaving Anjas.

The man simply nodded in response. Her eyes stared at the passing of Rina and her two children who were slowly moving away from sight.

A while later Rina arrived at the restaurant in front of the hospital, she only knew that Syafira had not even had lunch, while this time had already shown at one noon.

The three seemed to sit together, The star who felt sorry for Syafira continued to talk and tried to comfort the younger daughter one year from her.

Yes, just after they had lunch, Arya had to stop by the hospital to see her doctor colleagues. Rina who initially just wanted to wait in the car, finally went outside when the star whined want to go outside and look for a place to play.

Unexpectedly they even met with Ajas and Syafira, which makes the mother and child are now trying to comfort a small child who seemed to experience a little shock due to the accident that befell his mother.

"I saw Mama bleeding" Syafira said suddenly, causing Rina to turn her gaze to the girl.

Rina smiled gently as she gently rubbed the top of Syafira's head.

"Mama is a strong woman, aunty sure Mama will be fine and can play again with Syafira," said Rina trying to calm the girl.

After feeding Syafira a meal and playing for a while Rina finally returned to the hospital after hearing that Tari had been moved to the ward.

He held Shafira's hand and the Star in both hands, they walked along with Rina's position in the middle. Lina's gentle demeanor and friendly Star made Syafira easy to feel at ease with the two people.

Rina smiled, looking at Syafira who returned cheerful now they even seemed to walk in the hospital corridor with the two children walking together while interspersed with the typical laughter of children in front of Rina.

"Oh, Opa!" Syafira was screaming when she saw that her grandparents were standing in front of the room. The girl also ran over to the two parents of Tari.

However, Syafira's joy was not contagious to his father Tari, he seemed to walk quickly to Rina with a reddened face.

Rina stopped her steps with a puzzled look, The star that had been walking along with Syafira turned around and then clasped Rina's hand.

Plaque!

The loud voice rang out to make the Star and the shafira close their eyes so tightly.

"Mama!" The star looked frantic and worried about Rina's face which turned to the side and turned reddish in color.

"So this is the seductress who wants to destroy my son's household? What are you going to do here, huh? Do we want to laugh at my son because he's helpless now?!" jolt the man in his sixty years.

Rina was silent she still could not digest what had just happened to her, a heat mixed with pain spread across her left cheek.

"Don't touch my Mama, you evil old geezer!" A star who dislikes seeing his mother being hit by an unknown person is now seen hitting the legs of Tari's father and trying to get rid of her from their presence.

Her father Dari seemed to lower his gaze looking at the Star with an annoyed face mixed with anger.

Lina who was scared, immediately hugged the Star and stopped the action of the child.

"Basarly a cheap woman! I heard you had a son by my daughter-in-law, huh? Is this his son? He is your bastard son, so his behavior is not polite like this?" asked dad Dance with a small look at Rina and the Stars.

"So your words, sir!" Lina who did not accept her son insulted looks to fight, she stared intently at the man who was much older than her, at a time like this manners are no longer needed.

"He's not a bastard, he's my son!" continued Rina again while hugging the frightened-looking Star.

"You better take good care of your words, what else in front of children like them, do not even indulge emotions and accuse without knowing what really happened!"

"Finely ask your son and daughter-in-law before accusing me of not embarrassing yourself." Lina spoke firmly without fear as well with her sharp gaze.

"I've delivered your granddaughter safely. Excuse me!" continued Rina again, then clasped the Star's hand then turned around and walked away from the place.

Rina's steps had stopped for a few seconds when she saw that there were two parents Anjas who had witnessed the debate with the old man, it seemed like they had just come and accidentally witnessed the scene.

Rina had glanced at the two of them at a glance while tightening her grip on the Star, without saying hello she just stepped past the two former in-laws whom she did not even have time to know.
