(Not) My Crown Ruler
076

Early in the morning, in a large hospital inpatient room.

The clock shows at 02:00 in the morning. An athletic man was busy with his worship on a red prayer mat that was held in the chain of the hospital room. That guy looks so solemn. Worship the Creator while offering a prayer for the woman who is still asleep in the patient's bed.

Not far from where the man was worshipping, a long-haired man appeared to be laying down his body on the long sofa of the room. With one hand rubbing his cross necklace, the man seemed engrossed in staring at the screen of his phone. Look at the photo of a small family consisting of a father, mother, and son. A photo that he has always made his phone wallpaper. Yeah, it was a picture of his little family before it broke up. An old photo that was in his house that he re-shot using his cellphone camera.

The Eagle's mind has been floating around incoherently since. The story of the fact that his budhe said last afternoon about his relationship and Anisa managed to control his brain. Paras Anisa is indeed very similar to the photo of the woman in her phone. The photo of the man in Anisa's phone is also very similar to the photo of her stepfather.

All evidence leads to truth. Louis also said that Anisa's name was Adiba Anisa. He was born twenty years ago, on the same day and date as the Eagle's sister. Louis also said that for twenty years Anisa lived with a stepmother who hated her so much. Anisa is the child of an affair, he said.

If that's true, then that means, during her marriage to Silvia, Herman was lying. He had a wife in the village. And from the results of that lie, was born Anisa, an innocent girl who had been wasted all her life by her stepmother.

The eagle felt tight. Her life and Anisa's just as hard. Departing from a family with a weak economy and lack. But he was much more fortunate. Although without parents and life all mediocre, but he has Bik Susi who loves him. Unlike Anisa who is stamped bad because it was born from an illegal relationship.

The eagle breathed a long breath. He thought his sister had been happy all along. Life is good and without lack. Until he forgot his half-brother here. But it seems he was wrong. Anisa's fate is no better than hers.

The eagle stared at the photo in the phone. One hand rubbed the cross at the end of his necklace, while the other hand rubbed his phone screen.

"Oh, Eagle has met adek. The eagle promised to take good care of him," the inner man said.

Daag...

Eagle rattled. The light impact sound of two objects was heard there. The eagle looked towards the bed. He saw that slender hand was outstretched towards the nightstand. Anisa seems to have realized. He intended to take water in the glass but his hand did not arrive. He was only able to touch the phone next to the glass to make the two objects collide.

The eagle hurriedly got up from his couch while putting his cell phone in his pants pocket. The man then walked up to Anisa who looked still weak.

"Nis," said the Eagle.

Anisa silently looked at the Eagle.

"Wake up?" tanyakanya.

Anisa did not answer. He only smiled wryly as he closed his eyes and nodded weakly.

"Wanna sit?" ask Eagle.

Anisa nodded again.

"Gue help!" the Eagle answered while moving, guiding Anisa to sit leaning on the patient's bed.

"Thank you, Mom," said the pregnant woman.

The eagle was smiling. "What did you take?" ask again.

"Drink" said Anisa.

The man then swiftly grabbed the glass filled with white water. He wants to help Anisa drink, but Anisa refuses.

Eagle smiled. Anisa downed the water a few gulps.

Done it. The eagle put the glass back on the nightstand. The man then pulled the chair beside the bed and sat his body there. Anisa turned to the floor, just where Louis was prostrating on his alphabet.

"That's Louis," said the Eagle.

Anisa smile. "I know. That's one of the differentiators he had with his brother" said Anisa.

The eagle did not answer. He looked at that beautiful face.

"So is sick? If there is, I call the doctor" said Eagle.

Anisa shook her head. "No, my mom. Thank you, I came to you this afternoon," said Anisa weakly.

Eagle smiled. "The same" said the man.

Louis finished with his worship. The man got up and grabbed the prayer mat and walked closer to Anisa.

"Nis" said Louis.

Anisa and the Eagle looked over. The woman seemed to smile.

"Are you awake, honey? Someone is sick" asked the man while stroking the pregnant woman's long hair.

Anisa smiled, then shook her head faintly.

"I am good" he said.

Louis grabbed the back of the woman's hand, rubbed his swab gently and kissed her.

"I'm worried about you, Nis. I'm afraid something will happen to my future wife and child" Louis said.

Anisa turned her face away. He chuckles despite being weak.

"Right," he said.

"Yes... Thank you for your attention" said the woman.

Louis smiled. He came back to the back of his hand. The eagle who witnessed the scene only smiled faintly. These two humans really love each other. If Louis really seriously wanted to marry Anisa, then he swore, would be the first man who would pave the way to smooth Louis's intentions. Think of this as a form of affection and love for the new brother he found. He promises, will do anything to make Anisa happy.
