FAITHFULLY YOURS (BSBB)
Chapter 18

...Chapter 18 | Not Regular Baby Sugar (BSBB)...

"Good morning" I said softly as I poked my head from behind the door of room 428, checking whether the patient was awake or not.

"Morning," Tama replied gently welcoming me with a smile.

"Eh, are you awake?” I saw a watch that showed 07:30. "I came to the side, huh? You still want to sleep, Tam?"

Tama nodded slowly. "No. Woke up from earlier. Can't sleep anymore. Here, come in."

I went in and handed him a plastic bag containing a juice bottle. "Pity... Here I bring guava fruit juice, good to restore our condition when sick again. I made my own loh, drink yah."

"Yes, here I drink. Thanks to ya." Just smile happily while opening the bottle and drinking my homemade juice.

"Together."

"Sorry, it's already ngerepotin. Mama also said thank you for taking me to the hospital."

"Nerepotin, really." I sat down on the chair next to Tama.

This incident made me remember when I drove Rara to the ER, then this time to take Tama. I said, if one day I get sick, who will care and take me for treatment?

Not that I asked for a disease, anyway. Just want to, someone noticed too. All this time, I've only been in a relationship with no feelings. Ah silly, what am I thinking? Haha.

"Other times, don't eat recklessly. In Widal's test, you're infected with Salmonella bacteria. You already know the fever, do not want to check with the doctor, even go to work. Yeah, how'd it fall?"

Tama pulled my arm slowly.

"Actually .." he said with a serious face, leaving me a little surprised but then prepared to listen.

"Why?" my many.

"No, ah. Not to be."

"What's? Wanna say what? How not to be? Just be curious."

"No, I forgot what to say."

"Ah, lie. Come on, dong, what the fuck did you say?" I shook Tama's arm. He even laughed in his laughter.

"Tam, your order has Daddy bought it."

The sound made me and Tama stop for a moment. Om Rizal was at the door carrying a package of food, staring at the two of us.

"Eh yes, Dad. Put it up here, Tama'll eat."

Om Rizal put food in a cupboard next to the patient's bed. "Fast to eat. It'll be cold. Daddy comes home first, takes a shower" said Om Rizal.

"Yes Dad, thank you."

Om Rizal said goodbye to me too before leaving. I saw her look a little cold. Then, I asked Tama, why Om Rizal was here early in the morning. Turns out, Om Rizal stays at the hospital and looks after Tama all night.

"Mia.." call Tama.

"Yes?"

"I'm hungry.," he said spoiled.

"That's really marijuana, anyway. No, I'll get it. " I opened the package that Om Rizal had bought and looked at the contents. "Soto Betawi?? You seriously want to eat this while it hurts?"

"Hehehe, yes. Hospital food cannot be eaten. I want a Betawi Soto, too. Bribe, dong. Yes yes yes?"

"Hm. Fuckin."

I can't speak anymore. What matters is that he wants to eat. I poured Soto Betawi who actually gave the coconut milk to the bowl provided by the hospital, then fed Tama. Thankfully, he ate tastefully.

"By the way, Aunt Gracia finally knows you work at the minimarket. But, I'm not the one who told you,” I said while bribing him.

"Ah, emm, yes I know it wasn't you who told me. No matter what, at least I can be a little relieved, finally not much to keep a secret from mama," he replied while chewing food.

"much? What other secrets do you keep?"

Tama did not continue speaking and simply chewed the food until it ran out, leaving behind her sauce. I also did not ask any further and took a tissue to clean up the leftovers around Tama's lips. Although he still sat weak, he looked fresher than yesterday.

"Well, it's done. I'm back, Tam."

"Wait." Tama pulled my bag until I got stuck. "To be honest .. I suspect Daddy is cheating. This is what I was talking about."

DEGGS!

My heart stopped for a moment. I was surprised by Tama's words. Did he catch me with Om Rizal? Does she know that me and her daddy met in person? How'this? Relax, relax. I try to calm down and control my attitude.

"W-Do you know where?" many nervous.

"A few weeks ago, I saw daddy's car parked in the hotel and got the chick out of his car. But I don't see his face."

Tama took a breath.

"Then ... the result?" my many.

"Nil. I got no more proof after that. If I could open a daddy, there would probably be one or two proofs I could get. But, that's impossible. Daddy locked his phone with a password and certainly never got away from it."

I was relieved, but there was still a bit of anxiety left. Anxious if one day it will be caught by Tama.

"You have too many thoughts, Tam," I said.

"Yes anyway. I hope I just saw it wrong."

"Udah, you rest again huh. Typhus healing. It could be up to a week she's weeks, you know."

"If there's you, I'll get better soon, anyway. Hehe."

BUGH!

I punched Tama's arm.

"Oh, another sick person was punched. How...." Tama complained of pain when I did not punch her hard. Yeah, just a little bit. Hehe.

"I go home first. Tomorrow I'm here again" I said to Tama and she waved until I got out of there.

I saw the elevator was full and I refused to wait in line for a long time. Down the stairs is my ninja path.

After going down the stairs a few steps, someone pulled my arm and it surprised me. With a little anxiety and fear I ventured to see who that person was.

"Omm??"

"You are very familiar Tama," concluded Om Rizal. His face is serious. So, that cold face of mine just now was jealous, anyway?

"No, Om. We're just friends. The same jealous period as your own child anyway?"

"Yes?" tanyanya. "Ah, I can finally see you again. It's so kangen." Om Rizal hugged me and his face changed.

"Om, don't be. It's not good if someone sees."

Om Rizal moved away a little bit and took a step back. "Okay, tomorrow afternoon we'll update. I can't wait for tomorrow."

"Yes. I'll chat Om at his hour. I've got Om's business, I'm ahead."

...***...

"This is good, Om," I said to the choice of tie and suit that Om Rizal chose.

"Okay, Om take this." Om Rizal then asked me to choose clothes for me to buy as well. I picked out a few dresses and a top and I'll try it in the dressing room.

Suddenly, Om Rizal came into the dressing room.

I spoke in whispers. "Omm? How in? Tried his way."

Om Rizal approached me and locked my body with his arm. This man was about twenty centimeters tall above me, making me look up when I saw him.

Om Rizal put a kiss on my lips. I was surprised and tried to push him, but he held me back.

A phone call came in and the man was distracted. He took the phone and I saw Celine's name on the screen.

Om Rizal left and left his credit card for me to use. "Wear it, just grab some pretty clothes you want."

I looked at Om Rizal, holding him back from stopping to see the woman.

Om Rizal smiled. "Sorry, he's still Om's priority." Om Rizal kissed my neck and took my hand off his arm. "Let's continue."

I was quite upset about having to lose to that woman. My phone rang, a sign of a message coming in. After checking it out, I cursed myself for forgetting a very important promise.

Mr Hansel: Mellyssa, did you forget today's consultation?

Oh my God! How could I forget?? I hurried to get some more clothes. Including a more polite dress to go to campus and I paid with the Om Rizal credit card given to me. Unconsciously, my total clothing shopping was 3.9 million. Thanks, Om.

I hurriedly replied to Mr. Hansel's message and went to the campus. I saw the watch showing at 15:30. Is it still possible? The important thing is to be sure first.

Me: Sorry sir, this is still on the way because the road is jammed again.

Whatever the time of departure, just say it's OTW! Argh!
