Father's Status On My Son's Deed
66. Worrying about Aji

"Mas Aji!" asha exclaimed as soon as she reached the clinic and immediately approached the bed where the husband lay weakly. "How are you doing? What did the doctor say?"

"It's okay, just the stomach acid rising," Aji replied with a smile.

That certainly made Asha upset. How not, when the man's body is not okay, but Aji instead said that he was fine, but he also could not say anything.

"Why did Mas Aji eat so late? Wasn't there food at home? Didn't you eat? Is my cooking bad?"

"It's not like that, I just feel sorry for Khairi because I was asleep so I couldn't play with her. I want to take a walk to make up for my guilt."

Asha knew that it was only Aji's excuse because before she went to the clinic, she contacted Bik Ika and the middle-aged woman said that Khairi was angry with her papa. It was that incident that made Aji persuade him by bringing the child to a mall. Asha also could not be angry because indeed the child still did not understand anything. Later he will talk slowly so that in the future the child no longer imposes the will on others. Even though it was his own papa.

"You better bring Khairi home from here, it's not good for him to stay in a place like this for too long. I don't want him to be sick."

"How are you here yourself?"

"I'm fine, there's still my assistant who will come after this," Aji replied lying, in fact from earlier he tried to contact his assistant, but was not appointed probably busy.

"Yes already, then I say goodbye first, you be careful," replied Asha hesitatingly.

Actually the woman wanted to invite Aji to stay at her house, only she did not have the courage to say that. Especially at this time their relationship is also not halal, which there will be later women will even increase the sin that exists. However, leaving Aji alone in a hotel is also not good. Fearless that man no one takes care of and will even get sicker.

Aji who saw the doubt in the eyes of the wife also tried to give understanding, that she would be fine so no need to worry. He also did not want to burden the woman he loved. It is also impossible for Asha to invite him to stay at his house, later it will even become a guesthouse because the two have not held a contract.

After Asha's departure, now in the inpatient room only Aji lives alone. The man just had to wait for the infusion to run out, then he would go home. Aji also has no idea where his car is at the moment. It might still be in the parking lot of the mall, he can't take it there either, hopefully it's still there because it's the company's car.

Meanwhile, in the struggle to get home, Asha still keeps thinking about the condition of Aji who is currently in the hospital. Whether the man's assistant has arrived or not. Asha was supposed to wait until someone kept Aji from worrying like this.

"Ma, is papa sick because of me?" asked Khairi who was feeling sorry for her papa.

The boy had actually refused to go home, but due to the coercion of his mother, the boy finally wanted to. Asha smiled towards the son, she knew that Khairi must be very worried. Seen frightened on his face.

"No, honey, it's because papa is recalcitrant. Don't want to eat time, so it hurts. Khairi also should not be so eating, if it is time to eat must quickly eat, let not be sick like papa."

Khairi simply nodded in response and asked again, "Where will you go home, Ma? Not going to the office anymore, right? Who will take care of you there? Usually if I am sick always accompanied by Mama, if papa does not come home, who will accompany papa? Who will give you the medicine? If you do not take medicine how? Definitely not healed," asked Khairi in a row.

Bik Ika who was on the terrace frowned when she found her son and granddaughter coming home together. Once Khairi left with Aji, why now go home with Asha? Isn't that woman at work.

"You can go home together? Where's Nak Aji? Didn't you just go with Khairi?" ask Bik Ika as soon as Asha and Khairi arrive at the terrace.

"Mas Aji is still in the clinic, Mom, the mag had relapsed while playing in the same mall Khairi so, forced to be rushed to the clinic."

"Astaghfirullahaladzim! Even though Mother had asked him to have breakfast first, but he said he wanted breakfast at the mall only. I should have forced her," said Bik Ika who felt guilty and asked again, "So far now how is she doing? What did the doctor say?"

"Mas Aji should rest a lot and should not be late again when eating. Especially before also Mas Aji had relapsed so badly," replied Asha. "Somewhere whatever happened to him during our separation" he continued in his heart.

"While Nak Aji is with whom? There's no family here."

"So Mas Aji said there was his assistant, Mom. Maybe his assistant will be there by noon."

Bik Ika nodded even though she hesitated in her heart. Whether Aji is well guarded or not.

"Then Mother only came there, fearing that there would be no guard," said Bik Ika before Asha entered the house.

"No, Ma. You also have to take care of your health."

"But I'm worried about Nak Aji. I'm afraid she's lying to you, that's just an excuse for you and Khairi to get out of there. He doesn't want you to worry because it's better that you come there."

Asha thought about what Bik Ika said. In his heart he confirmed it, surely Aji did not want his son to be sick if he was there too long. The man also said that the environment there was not good for Khairi.

"Mommy should be at home, let me accompany Mas Aji. Later if there is an assistant then I will go home," said Asha.

"But you must be tired, let me just. I haven't been home since."

"It's okay, Mom. Let me just."

Asha immediately said goodbye to Khairi, fortunately the boy understood and did not whine to come along.
