Destiny Gintani
Greatest Son-in-law

Argha took his breath. He rested his back on the back of his great chair. "That means, Richard will return to this city" murmured Argha, clenching his hand.

Argha closed his eyes. His memory wanders in memory of what happened 22 years ago.

"Mother, shall we go home?" little Adi whine to his mother. At that time, they were in a toy store in one of the largest malls in Jakarta. My father was having lunch with his best friend. After eating, Adi and his mother played with his son and wife, his father's colleague.

Adi is tired of playing. He also started to complain about asking to go home. To divert his attention, Mrs Jelita, who is none other than the wife of her co-worker Mr. Jaya, invites Dewi and Adi to a toy store. For a moment Adi and Richard, the children of Lady Jelita and Mr. Hanzel, seemed happy to choose the toys that will be bought.

All of a sudden, Madam Jelita was saying goodbye to going to the toilet. They waited long enough. Until finally, Adi again whined asking to go home.

"Beauty, let's find Richard's Mommy first. After that, we ask father to go home" pinta Madam Dewi, the mother.

Adi nods.

Madam Goddess smiled. He then led Adi on the right and Richard on the left. Suddenly, little Richard broke free from the hands of the Goddess Mistress. I don't know what caught his attention so he ran towards the escalator.

"Richard! No, Son!" shouted Madame Goddess as she ran after Richard. Unfortunately, the heels worn by the mistress of the Goddess were stuck in the escalator ladder barrier, so the Madam Goddess fell down and fell over the escalator line.

"Mr....!!" shout Argha.

"Boss...! Why?"

Argha blinked his eyes. His breath hunted irregularly. His heart rate is racing fast.

Brakk...!

Door's open...

"Mas, what's wrong with you?" ask Gintani.

Gintani was talking in the living room with his sister-in-law. Suddenly she heard her husband's screams from the study. Gintani and Nadhifa ran to the argha workspace.

"Gin...?" call Argha lirih. Clear circles began to pool at both corners of his eyes. "Hug me, Gin!" pinta Argha with a face.

Gintani approached her husband. He grabbed Argha's head and held it against his chest. Her left hand was coiled around the nape of her husband, while her right hand, faithfully rubbed Argha's back.

"Calm down, Mom! Everything will be fine!" gintani said to calm her husband, even though she herself did not know what was going on with Argha.

Long enough Argha cried in silence. He asks Gintani to take him to his room.

After the magrib prayer, Argha did not want to get out of his bed. Even for dinner, he did it in bed. His body temperature was starting to get hot.

"Take the medicine first, Mas!"

Argha nodded. He received a heat-lowering drug and swallowed it.

"Rest!" gintani said as she enveloped her husband.

"Gin...!" Argha held Gintani's hand. "Don't leave me!" doors, lirih.

Gintani smiles. She then sat down next to her husband's head. I will never leave you, Mas" replied Gintani.

Argha tilted his body, he sucked his head and hugged Gintani's waist tightly.

Gintani still faithfully rubbed her husband's hair. Until finally the snoring began to sound. Seeing that Argha had fallen asleep, Gintani went back out of the room.

"Where are you, brother?" ask Nadhifa.

"Alhamdulillah, he is asleep" replied Gintani. "Fa, Bram... emm... Do you not mind if I ask you to sleep here?" ask Gintani. "I'm worried about your brother. I'm afraid anything's happened to him."

"Yes, Fa don't mind! Later Fa call papah to ask permission," replied Nadhifa.

"But, you don't tell me that Argha's mas is sick, yes! I don't want Papah to be my mind" Pinta Gintani.

"Yes, you calm down."

"Yes, Brother clean up your room first. But Bram, don't you mind sleeping in her study at Margha's?" gintani asked her husband's assistant.

"Yes Miss, sleep anywhere, for me it doesn't matter" Bram replied.

"Well, Gin!" answer Bram.

Gintani smiled, and then went to the room that Nadhifa used to live in if she stayed at her sister's apartment. After cleaning the room, Gintani invites his guests to dinner. After eating, they talked. Until finally Gintani felt dizzy in his head, he was alone and left his guests in the family room.

"Are you sleepy?" tanya Bram .

"Not yet" replied Nadhifa briefly.

"How about we chat on the side balcony, while enjoying the night air!" bram.

"But, the night air is not good for our health, Sister" replied Nadhifa.

"Just for a second, Fa!" persuade Bram.

"alright. But I'm gonna make some chocolate milk first. Does Brother want to?" bargain Nadhifa.

"Byeah" replied Bram.

They also walked to the kitchen. Nadhifa made two glasses of chocolate milk. While Bram stepped his feet towards the side balcony. Shortly thereafter, Nadhifa came to Bram.

"This, Brother!" nadhifa said, offering a glass of chocolate milk that still emits a puff of smoke.

Bram received the glass with a sweet smile. A smile that could make Nadhifa misbehave.

"We're sitting there yuk, Fa!" invite Bram to point at the swing chair with his chin.

Nadhifa also nodded. They walked and sat on the swing chair.

While talking, Bram's eyes suddenly locked on the objects scattered a few meters from before them.

"Fa, what is it?" tanya Bram while pointing at the black bark.

Nadhifa directed her neutrals to see what Bram pointed at. "Looks, it was Argha's coat he was wearing yesterday" replied Nadhifa. "Oh my God....!" peekik Nadhifa when she accidentally saw Gintani's underwear exposed perfectly next to her brother's suit.

Bram and Nadhifa looked at each other.

"Hmm.. it is appropriate that they can be sick at the same time," muttered Bram accompanied by a clueless look from Nadhifa.

Time keeps going. The night is getting late. Gintani faintly heard someone calling out the name of the mother. Gintani blinked his eyes as the voice became clearer.

"Mother... Mother... do not stay in Adi...! The Mother... Adi kangen mother.. don't go...!" racau Argha in his sleep.

"Yes....! My Argha! Up, Mas!"

Gintani shakes Argha's shoulder slowly. A sweat thread was clearly visible on her husband's temples.

"Mother... Adi kangen's... Mother don't go!" Argha was delirious in his sleep.

Gintani fingered her husband's forehead. Heat, interior. Gintani pulled out a thermogun from her nightstand drawer and measured her husband's body temperature. 39,7 ... Oh my God, it's high.

Gintani immediately went to the bathroom to get some warm water. After that, he took out a handkerchief towel from the closet drawer and started compressing Argha. Gintani painstakingly takes care of Argha. Flip through the small towel to keep the moisture in.

Occasionally, Argha's talk about mother and Adi is still heard clearly in Gintani's ears. "What exactly is your burden, Mom? Who are you and Adi?" muttered Gintani stared questioningly at her husband's pale-looking face.

Gintani rests his body on the hardboard of the bed. Her net never looked at her husband. He repeatedly dipped the handkerchief in a container filled with warm water, and then placed it on Argha's forehead.

Gintani closed his eyes as drowsiness began to strike. It didn't take long, he started flying into his dreamland.

A few hours have passed. Argha opened his eyes as he felt a chill on his forehead. His hand touched the object that was stuck on the forehead.

"Hmm.. maybe last night I had a fever," he murmured while staring at Gintani who was asleep in a sitting position leaning on the bed hardboard.

Argha wake. He then corrects Gintani's sleeping position. Argha grabbed the already stretched body into his arms. "Thank you, Gin! Thank you for taking care of me!" murmured Argha while touching his wife's delicate cheeks. Argha landed a kiss on his wife's forehead. He closed his eyes again. The Mother... Adi has chosen the best daughter-in-law for you....

Seriate....

Thanks for the support, yaaa
