Dear Husband

Dear Husband
Wh-wh-what for?


Sofia is forced to obey Nando's orders, who insists on sending her to the driver. It feels so weird. He is accustomed to being independent since High School, college, so koas to duty must be escorted everywhere until he goes to be with the driver. If she was a woman from the upper class who was spoiled and liked to rely on others, maybe the treatment of Nando like now even made a fortune of its own. If she were a wasteful woman, maybe now she would be very happy with the unlimited credit card she now has in her hands. But Sofia is not that kind of woman. She's just a simple girl with above average intelligence to get a medical scholarship. She was also an ordinary woman who knew what a piece of money meant and how to get it with sweat and hard work.


Almost two months holding the card, the facilities and the luxuries that were proffered to her, never before had the beautiful doctor used it. He lived off his salary as a country man. After all, he was only shopping for his personal needs because all his drinking needs had been met by Nando.


His memory turned back to the incident. Nando's face that was full of anger, a poignant tone from his lips and a curse that either intentionally or unintentionally came out of his lips made his decision to be round. He wants to ask for a divorce. Separating early on was better than her being sick in the future because she had become entangled with Nando's charm as it is in her collection of novels.


"We've reached the mistress."


"oh.ehh yes sir. Thank you, just stay sir.I go down first!"


"But the master told me to wait for you mistress" said the driver insisting. He did not want to get angry from his male employer if he did not obey his orders. Sofia is also new to the city. Of course he was worried.


"Sir, trust me. I know the way home. Anyway if later I call mas Nando to be picked up." Sofia tried to convince the driver and her husband's bodyguard. Long pensive, the young man finally agrees after calling Alex's secretary and getting permission to leave Sofia alone.


Sofia's quick steps into the IGD space. He was just about to open the door when a few gurneys were pushed towards him. On top of that, the victims of the train accident were in horrendous condition. His hands deftly opened the door and went inside. There doctor Lukman alone cope with patients assisted by many nurses. Sofia immediately gave first aid.


I don't know who else the doctor came to help them. Panic and emergency make them unable to greet each other. The busyness was so felt in the room that the corridor was also filled with victims. The medics don't even pay attention to shift shifts. They stay shoulder to shoulder and help each other to forget to eat because they only stop for a moment to worship. After that, they returned to fight with the rescue of the victims.


Minutes passed, hours after hours of hunting each other. The medical personnel were only able to breathe a sigh of relief once the victims have been declared safe even though not all. Some of those who get severe injuries have even exhaled without having time to get help. No one knows how old humans are, right? however hard it may be for them if Allah wills, then man will not be able to do anything.


Sofia took off her gloves and mask. I felt tired after a long day of non-stop fighting there. In addition, his fellow doctors did the same. Several times came out jokes from their lips to just unwind the whack.


"Thank you for helping me doc." said doctor Lukman, clutching his hands together in his chest. He also said the same thing to other doctors who did not shift with him but still deigned to help him regardless of working hours.


"Together doc." reply them almost simultaneously. Tired faces with sincere smiles.


Sofia was sitting in her chair when a nurse approached her.


"Excuse me doc, you're waiting for your husband in the lobby." Sofia straightened her body, a little shocked.


"Husband?"


"Yes, he said he's your husband." Nando's? what's he doing here? not his type to pick himself up. If she's Emma, maybe it could be because Nando loves her so much. But she's Sofia...Is Nando not wrong? or maybe the one waiting for him was the driver or Alex? ahhh...Sofia doesn't want to guess.


"Ohh yes.thank you sister." she replied with a friendly smile.


"Ciee..cieee.who was picked up by the husband." seduced the doctors who were there while laughing loudly. Sofia simply smiled back at the temptation. He greeted his colleagues one by one and then went home first.


"Wah.wah.padah today there is a meal together on the top floor of the dock. The head of the hospital who practices us" said doctor Lukman, shaking his hand as he unceasingly thanked him.


The congruent answer made Sofia's smile rise. He did not know since when he felt very comfortable working there because of the attitude of colleagues who are friendly and kind to him like family. Perhaps the same non-native factor of the area made their solidarity so obvious. Sofia also seemed to be in her own yard when she was in their midst.


Until lobbied, a tall man with good looks above the average sitting sweet chair wait. His eagle eyes stared straight ahead with his hands crossed over his chest. To be seen from any side the man is still handsome. Sofia rushed to him.


"It's been a while?" greet Sofia while kissing the back of her hand. The man shook his head and got up from his seat.


"Come on!"


"where?"


"go home" he said flatly as he preceded Sofia's move. No romantic scene also hugged her waist as in the story. Sofia just walked behind her like a servant following her master.


" why come get me? I can go home by myself." Sofia protested with a slight breath of hunting for chasing after her husband's step. There was a sense of annoyance rising within his chest.


"See what time is it?." Sofia almost cried out in disbelief as she glanced at the clock on her wrist. 10 O'clock at night. That meant he had spent nearly twelve hours in the hospital without notice. If Nando hadn't picked him up, maybe he'd be there late at night.


"I'm sorry." That's all he can say. He felt guilty for leaving the house during that time, but tomorrow he had to leave early in the morning for the picket.


There's no word from Nando's lips. The man remained focused on the streets until he got home.


"Down. Get to the room!"


Sofia who felt guilty just kept quiet and obeyed her husband's orders. He ignored the hunger and thirst he had been enduring. Maybe he'll come down to the kitchen for dinner.


" Where's Elle mas?" Nando who was behind her would not answer.


"I'm in a room with Maria."


"Why not sleep here with us?"


"He's an adult."


"alright. Consider it an exercise. After we part later...."


"Close your mouth, doctor!! stop all this nonsense because I will never divorce you!" nando jolted with angry eyes.


" Why do we survive if we're going to hurt each other?"
