Being My Husband's Mistress
CHAPTER 18

HAPPY READING

"He who is Master?" mark asked when he finished calling the hospital staff. The man took a little look into the room and his eyes looked at the figure of a small child who was busy watching television in the room.

Nadhif. "Nobody, Mark," said Nadhif with a view that could not be separated from Hanum.

Mark nodded, though he doubted his Master's reply. Mark doesn't know what Hanum looks like. Because all he knows is the face of Una and Una has had a child. However, Mark never saw the face of Una's son because at the wedding Mark was not there. Mark learns of Nadhif's marriage only because Nadhif told him.

"Come Mark!" nadhif said and passed away from the front of Hanum's room followed by Mark at the back.

Nadhif arrived at his room. The man immediately sat his body on the chair quietly. Shortly after Nadhif's arrival, a hospital employee came with a file in his hand.

"Sorry, Sir. This is the data that you want" said the employee.

"You may go out" Nadhif said after receiving the file.

"You're out too, Mark. I want to be alone" said Nadhif, who was immediately embraced by Mark.

After making sure Mark got out of his room. Mark opened the file. His eyes shrewdly moved looking for the name of someone he needed to answer his curiosity right now.

Right at number sixty-seven, Nadhif's eyes stopped moving and focused his gaze on the number's data.

Haisya Hanum Hanania's. Batin Nadhif spelled the name.

Nadhif's eyes moved again looking at all of Hanum's data. So Nadhif's belief is getting bigger when he sees the name of the parents listed there is Lubna Azizah.

Nadhif dropped the file on the desk. His body was two rests on the back of the chair as if supporting the strength of his body. Nadhif's body seemed to lose energy when he saw what disease Hanum suffered. For some reason, Nadhif's body felt stiff and cold hot because it got this reality. No matter what, Nadhif often saw Hanum nosebleed. However, due to his selfishness, Nadhif ignored and did not care about the boy. The child he knew was his stepson at this time. A stepson whom she never considered her existence after marrying Una.

Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD). That's the name of the disease that Nadhif read on Hanum's data.

Nadhif pulled out his phone and called Mark.

"Hello Mark" Nadhif said as his call connected.

"Yes, sir" Mark replied from behind the call.

"Call Doctor Rizal to go to my room, Mark. I waited for ten minutes" Nadhif said without any objection and immediately disconnected his phone.

Nadhif knew the only great cardiologist in his hospital was Doctor Rizal. Therefore, without a second thought, Nadhif immediately asked Doctor Rizal to come.

Nadhif breathed a slow sigh. His words yesterday to Una who said that his illegitimate son was a prostitute made regret in Nadhif's heart.

Excuse me. Inner Nadhif said sorry with Hanum's face that always revolved in his mind.

.....

In the nursery of Hanum, Una came out of the bathroom with her leg face because she finished removing the dirt in her stomach. Una stepped up her legs to sit on the chair next to the bed.

Una smiles at Hanum who occasionally laughs while watching cartoons featuring the immature twins from television. His hands were endlessly eating the fruit that had been cut small by Una before.

I'm glad you're laughing like this, son. Sometimes, I think you're happier in this hospital than at home. At least, in this hospital you are not afraid of the anger of Mr. Nadhif. Nor will your heart be saddened to hear his insults and his nonsense, son. Inner Una softly looked at Hanum.

"Mother," Hanum's small voice calling out to him severed Una's mind.

"Yes dear," replied Una.

"Em .. can Hanum ask you something?" hanum hesitated.

"Did you know if Hanum was here, Mother?" tanya Hanum looked down at her fingers twisting each other.

"Master send greetings to, Hanum. Sir, I'm sorry for not being here. There's a lot of work to be done right away, son," replied Una.

Forced, Una had to lie. It is impossible in Hanum's current state that Una says that Nadhif would never care about her.

"Can Hanum call you Papi again, ma'am?" tanya Hanum looked at Una merrily.

Una smile. "God willing, could son. Nothing is impossible. And I'm working on it, son," Una continued inwardly at the end of his sentence.

"Mother" call Hanum again.

"Yes dear," replied Una.

"Here, Hanum's skin is like gini again" said Hanum pointing to black patches on the skin of his legs. This is the umpteenth time Hanum's skin raises black spots. Doctor Rizal said that it was the effect of the illness suffered by Hanum.

"But it doesn't hurt, does it, son?" ask Una carefully.

Hanum smiled and shook his head. "It doesn't hurt, Mom. But Hanum's skin is like a leopard" Hanum chuckled as if what was on his skin was funny and unique.

.....

While engrossed in his daydreams, the door of Nadhif's room was knocked from outside.

"Come in" said Nadhif.

The person Nadhif was waiting for came. Doctor Rizal stepped into Nadhif's room.

"Did you call me?" asked Doctor Rizal after sitting his body in a chair.

Nadhif grunting. "Don't make me feel bad, Uncle," said Nadhif.

Doctor Rizal chuckled faintly at Nadhif's words. Yes, Doctor Rizal is the Uncle of Nadhif who is the younger sister of Nadhif's mother, Elara.

"Why did you call Uncle? Is something wrong?" ask Dr. Rizal.

"Why didn't Uncle tell you that Hanum has this serious illness?" tanya Nadhif to the point' looked at Doctor Rizal.

"Have you ever asked Uncle, Nadhif?" doctor Rizal answered by turning around to ask Nadhif.

Yes also. Batin Nadhif confirmed what Dr. Rizal had said. He never asked anything and never cared. After all, his days were occupied by all the work. After all, the hatred in his heart closed all the affection so that Nadhif did not care and did not want to know what happened to Hanum and Una.

"Now explain it to me, Uncle," said Nadhif.

Doctor Rizal sighed softly before starting his story. "Hanum was my patient three years ago, when he was two. At first he was fine, but due to the interrupted treatment, he ended up suffering from this rheumatic heart disease, Nadhif," Dr. Rizal explained.

"How are the symptoms?" ask Nadhif.

"Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a condition when the heart valve is damaged in the long term due to rheumatic fever. This is due to an autoimmune inflammatory reaction to a throat infection caused by the Streptococcus A bacteria. This disease is most susceptible to occur in children, Nadhif. Including Hanum one of the sufferers," said Dr. Rizal.

"Did this disease cause death, Uncle?"
