For A Husband Who Doesn't Love Me
33. The Hospital

"Maira's..." Hidayat woke up from his sleep. After fainting earlier, the doctor gave him an injection of medicine so he could rest for a while.

Cold sweat splashed on his forehead. He looked around, there was no one there. His heart began to feel pain again, recalling the misunderstanding that had occurred between him and Maira. He was bad-minded, the fear of being left by Maira made him panic and agitated.

Hidayat revealed a blanket wrapped around his body, then moved about to get off the bed.

"Where are you going?" Suddenly Maira appeared from behind the door with a crispy knob in her hand.

"Ma-Maira..." Hidayat only realized that he was in the hospital room, even he just had an infusion hose attached to his hand.

"Abang is still limp, rest first..." Tell Maira while putting her luggage on a small table nearby.

Hidayat straightened his legs again. He continued to look at Maira's movements with his beautiful eyes. His face was still so pale, and his sweat was still stuck on his forehead.

Maira opened the food that the hospital had prepared for Hidayat, and she took it to her husband.

"Feed to eat first, yes..." Maira said, then fed Hidayat slowly.

Hidayat said, but his gaze could not be separated from Maira's face. He continued to eat voraciously every mouthful of Maira to him. Sometimes he blinked, only he did not stop to look at his wife.

After eating, Maira cleansed her husband's body. He wiped the sweat that was still on Hidayat's forehead.

"Why see Maira that way?" Asked Maira who actually felt awkward from now on.

"If because Brother is sick Maira still wants to be with Brother, let Brother just continue to be sick... Brother doesn't want Maira to leave..." Said Hidayat.

"Who wants to go? Maira's not going anywhere..." Maira said, turning her face away from Hidayat's gaze. He wiped his tears that suddenly fell just like that after all he had been holding back for so long.

"Maira, please listen to Brother's explanation... Everything Maira saw last night..."

"Why didn't you tell me before that you already have a lover? Why should you make Maira a barrier between you?" Cut Maira fast.

Hidayat nodded, then looked at Maira. "If you say so, then will Maira refuse our match?"

"Huh?" Maira. He was nervous to hear Hidayat's question that so struck his heart.

"There's no answer?" Hidayat asked again while raising Maira's chin so that his wife's eyes looked at his face. "Didn't Maira like you for a long time?"

"Maira knows, doesn't she? How grateful you are to remember that, where Maira survived with Brother even though you treated Maira like others after we got married... Because otherwise, you'll never feel the beauty of sharing your happiness with Maira after this feeling grows only for Maira completely..." Said Hidayat while holding both hands Maira.

"But what about Kiran..." Maira said sadly.

"Kirana Abang's past, Mai... And about last night"

"Siran's father died, Bang..." Cut Maira.

"Huh?" Hidayat was dumbfounded, looking at Maira question markingly.

"Bang Arya called... Maira panicked once, Brother suddenly fainted... Maira is afraid, anxious that the incident of brother Zahra is repeated a second time, and this time it happens to our lives..." Maira's murmur.

Hidayat smiled, "continue the doctor said you have a severe illness, don't you?"

"Ih, Brother..." Maira scowled at her husband's ridicule.

"Yes, yes, Sorry... Brother's joking... Brother also never felt any pain during this time, and also no history of any disease before..." Said Hidayat slightly chuckling.

"Maira must be very anxious, huh?" Hidayat asked as he stroked Maira's cheek gently.

"Very..." Maira replied while nodding.

"Keep, how did you get to the hospital?"

"Maira asks Bu Yanti for help, and Bu Yanti's antherin's husband..." Hearing that, Hidayat smiled to himself.

"Why are you smiling like that?" Maira glanced at him suspiciously.

"Damn... I know Maira is worried... Brother's body temperature is high, even higher than last night..." Omel Maira grumbling.

"Bu Yanti was waiting too, but after the doctor told her that she only had a high fever, Maira told Bu Yanti to go home with her husband... It's not good, they're busy too..."

"Yes... Thank you, my wife..." Said Hidayat while peeping Maira's hand which was still in his grasp.

Maira was flattered to hear Hidayat call her my wife, the guilt of having intimidated her without hearing Hidayat's confession first returning to her chest.

"Bang Arya has explained everything the same Maira. Apparently last night Brother came to the hospital for opening a message from Maira apparently... Though Abang had intended not to come, and called Arya bang to see the state of Kiran's brother... Maira should have heard the explanation from Abang, so there is no misunderstanding between us..." Maira seemed to feel guilty.

Hidayat nodded, then pulled Maira's body into his arms. "Sorry Brother, Mai... It was all a mistake at first... A foolish brother for willing to be used with Kirana..."

Maira came out of Hidayat's arms, and looked at her husband with a serious face. "Bang Arya even felt guilty for thinking badly about Kiran's brother, why is it now that Brother thinks ill of her? Did he ever force you against something he wanted?"

"uhuh?" Hidayat fell for a moment to hear Maira's words.

"Bang Arya forced Kiran's brother to be escorted to his house last night, and it turns out that he worked hard for his sick father, meeting the needs of his stepbrother and also for his stepmother... It's a pity, Brother Kiran..." Maira said she looked so worried about Kirana who even became the third person in her household.

"But, he's nothing like Maira to Abang..." Sangkal Hidayat's.

"He loves Brother... Maira saw for herself"

"Are Maira willing?" Cut Hidayat fast.

"Eh?" Maira was stunned, looking confused herself at Hidayat's question.

"Maira is not ready?" Goda Hidayat's.

"No... Brother belongs to Maira, and Maira will not be released unless you want to go for another woman..." Ketus Maira refrained from her embarrassment.

Hidayat smiled, then pulled Maira's waist into his arms. He peeked at Maira's cheek for so long. "Maira who meets the needs of your heart, how could you possibly want another woman?"

Before long, the door was knocked from outside. Maira immediately took some distance from Hidayat.

"Assynoltom..." Bu Yanti and her husband were in the doorway.

"Wa'alaikum hail..." They both answered, while Maira looked nervous and awkward at the arrival of her neighbor.

"Where are you, Yat?" Ask Bu Yanti's husband as he approaches.

"Alhamdulillah, sir, it's been good... It's just still a little dizzy..." Answer Hidayat with ease.

"Alhamdulillah... Bu Yanti had not calmed down to think about your situation, so we hurried back..." Said.

"Thank you very much, sir, ma'am... Sorry to bother you..." Say Hidayat.

"Mother was glad Maira called us... We felt like we were family to both of you... Given the incident of son Zahra, we became sad, why when the body came we just found out. We are close neighbors..." Said Bu Yanti regretting.

"I'm sorry about that, ma'am... But we never knew Zahra's situation before... Before Ashar that time, and only last night brother Zahra stayed in the hospital, so we did not have time to tell anyone but the family in the village... Bang Ajiz was so devastated that he could do nothing..." Said Hidayat looks so sad to remember his late brother.

"Astaghfirullah, sorry, son... I don't mean to make Nak Hidayat sad to remember Zahra again..."

"It's okay, Mom... I must be disappointed, because brother Zahra must have thought like his own family as well..." Say Hidayat with a smile.
