20 Years Adrift
Chapter 86. The arrival of Faya

The effect of the drug taken by Aira began to fade shortly before Maghrib. His head felt heavy when he woke up and his body felt very stiff. Affan looks to be teaching in the corner of his treatment room.

Pain in his shoulder began to feel. Although the wound is not too deep but hit the joint at the edge. Every time Aira moved around it would feel tremendous pain.

At first he wanted to get up and sit down but stopped him from doing it. He could not bear the pain and chose to go back to lie down. Aira's movements made a squeaking sound from the bed she was in.

Affan turned his head and saw the infusion hose and the mast moving. He thought that Aira was in need of something. Affan quickly moved and kept the Qur'an in the hospital and went to Aira.

"Darling, you're awake. Do you want to drink or eat?" ask Affan.

Aira was transporting quietly with a smile.

"I want to drink but I don't feel hungry yet" Aira said.

Affan kissed Aira's forehead affectionately.

"Wait here! I'll get it for you." Affan went to the place where he kept the mineral water and snacks he ordered from Hendro.

"Thank you, Mom."

Affan nodded as he passed.

There was a special table at the edge of the room near the entrance. There Affan put down his belongings. Affan also took a small packet of biscuits even though Aira did not ask for them.

"Eat some time before dinner arrives. Actually, the nurse had brought it but I asked her to bring it back. If you feel hungry I'll have them deliver it now." Affan helps Aira to sit down.

Aira grimaced with the pain even though she was already moving slowly.

"Do you still feel pain? I'll call the doctor and ask him to belong to you always back."

Aira pulls Affan's hand. Her husband had excessive worries. He had to calm her down so as not to worry too much.

"It doesn't matter, Mas. Just a little bit of pain will definitely go away after I take the medicine. Wounds like this only last two or three days. Once the external wound dries up it won't hurt anymore" Aira explained.

"But Aira ...." Affan's words came to a halt when he saw Aira shaking her head.

"Researching over and over again will make me feel even more sick. Every pain tests us to always be patient and grateful for the health benefits. I sincerely accept it, Mas." Aira smiled gently.

Affan's anxiety subsides. He then helped Aira drink from the bottle she had opened. Affan's very caring and gentle attitude makes Aira unceasingly grateful to have been given a soul mate like him.

The age that is far away in fact does not prevent them from loving each other. Both accept each other's advantages and disadvantages. Even though it begins with compulsion they can pass it with full sincerity.

Just as Affan opened the biscuit wrapper for Aira, suddenly the door of the room was knocked from the outside. Affan and Aira looked at each other. They both had no idea who had come to visit Aira.

Actually Aira felt very curious but she could not guess who came. His smile broke when he heard greetings from people he knew very well. Faya immediately ran towards Aira's bed and stretched out her arms to hug her tightly.

"Be careful, honey! Your mama's right shoulder is hurt!" yell Affan.

Faya almost made a mistake. Luckily his body had yet to reach Aira's body. Faya immediately stopped her action and hugged Aira carefully.

Faya could not hold back her tears. He could not imagine if Aira was having anything worse than this. After all this time he just saw happiness on his father's face for marrying her.

"Easy! Don't be sad, Faya. I'm doing fine. It's just a small wound." Aira rubbed Faya's head which was still sobbing in her lap.

Faya raised her head and wiped away the tears that were still standing on her cheeks. For him Aira is not just a connecting mother but she is also a friend who is very dear to him. When Aira felt pain then Faya also felt it too even though she did not have the same injury.

"Little injuries if left alone are also a danger, Ma. Aunt Sintya is heartless. From the very beginning of her arrival I had already guessed that she was a very cunning woman. I can't believe he's also so cruel. I'll sue him if anything happens to my mom and my sister-to-be." Faya vented her frustration.

Affan rubbed his back trying to calm down.

"Has Aunt Sintya been caught, Dad?" ask Faya.

"It has. She's in custody now, you don't have to worry she'll bother you again. May the law be valid and just and give him a proper recompense for the crime he committed." Affan did not tell all about Sintya to Faya and Aira.

"Thank God! Hopefully Aunt Sintya gets a heavy punishment. Just looking at her movements, I'm actually having a hard time knowing that she's not a good woman. Had she married my father she would have tortured me if I didn't obey." Faya vented her frustration.

"Don't involve me in your drama of frustration, dear. You think he's the father type? Little Dad's not interested in her" Affan explained.

In the middle of their conversation, a nurse came to bring food for Aira. Behind him a guard doctor and an assistant also came to check on Aira. Affan and Faya pulled over to the side so that the doctor could freely examine Aira.

Faya did not move out of place and saw firsthand what the doctor was going to do. Apparently covering the wound on Aira's shoulder should also be replaced. He could clearly see the wound that was still wet and slightly open despite it being stitched up.

At first he was ordinary but for a long time he could not stand it. Faya also felt pain every time she saw Aira grimacing while moaning softly. This process took place quickly so that Aira did not feel excessive pain.

"So, my wife still feels pain every time she moves. Please give her medication that will make her feel comfortable. I'm so worried that my son's wife and salon are suffering." Affan urges the doctor to cure Aira as soon as possible.

"Master need not worry. These are just minor wounds that can heal within 2 or 3 days. I saw that the wet wound on Madam's shoulder had started to dry up. I did not dare to give her the medicine with a higher dose considering that Madam was in a big pregnancy. It is likely that the drug will have an effect on the guarantee it contains" explained the doctor to everyone in the room.

There was a feeling of disappointment in Affan's nod but he looked resigned. He will always accompany Aira until his wife is no longer sick when moving.

Outside the room Aira heard a noise. A woman's voice spoke very loudly.
