For A Husband Who Doesn't Love Me
55. Happy News in Sadness

Maira's heart was racing. Her chest of flowers held such an uncomfortable feeling. Unbroken the prophet's prayer rippled on his lips since the phone call from Arya who asked him to go to the hospital immediately.

His mother who saw the concussion on his face immediately grabbed him tightly. "It's okay, son... Leave everything to God..."

Hearing that Maira could not bear to not let out her tears. "Astaghfirullah hal'azhiim's... Astaghfirullah hal'azhiim's... Astaghfirullah hal'azhiim's..."

Although Ms. Zainab looked calm, she was also agitated. He saw something that made his heart feel tight in the look of his daughter-in-law's face.

They reached As-syifa hospital, and headed straight to the ER.

"Assalamualaikum, Bang Arya..." Maira said directly facing Arya who stood at the entrance of the ER.

"Wa'alaikum hail..." Arya looked at Maira blankly, then walked towards the four elders who were also looking at her with question marks. He greeted them one by one.

"Where's bang Hidayat, Bang?" Maira asked so impatiently.

"Hidayat... Emm..." Arya was getting nervous.

"What's going on, Arya boy?" Umayyad take over. He could not bear to keep the anxiety that he had actually covered up earlier.

Arya. He did not seem ready to talk to the Hidayat family.

"Assynoltom..." Rizki came along with the other kiosk employees.

"Wa'alaikum hail..." Answer them simultaneously.

"Where's the situation bang Hidayat, Bang?" Alan asked in panic.

"Bang Hidayat?" Maira was stunned for a moment.

"What happened to Hidayat, son? Where's she?" Asked Bu Zainab with trembling lips.

Alan is made to bumbling to see the confusion on Maira's face and her parents and in-laws. They do not know if it turns out Arya has not told Maira and both her parents and in-laws about the accident that hit Hidayat.

"The life is inside, Mom..." Defense wavers. His tears were soaked, but as much as possible he could bear not to fall. "So Arya accidentally saw Hidayat get off the ambulance. He's in an accident, Mom..."

Silent.

Maira. Suddenly, he felt his world collapse. He became weak, then collapsed just like that.

When he woke up, he looked around. He was in the ward, accompanied by his mother and mother-in-law.

"Maira?" Call mommy. There was a smile, but tears also flowed down the cheeks of the mother and mother-in-law.

"Mother..." Maira. "Mother..."

"Quiet, Honey... Easy, Son..." Said Ms. Zainab while holding Maira's hand.

"Abang, Mom..." Her crying became even more so when it occurred to her husband again.

"Suami Maira is now being treated by a doctor... Maira should calm down, yeah, honey... Because we also have good news for Maira..." His mother said in a soft voice.

"What good news in the midst of this grief, Mom?" Tanya Maira looked disappointed by the circumstances.

"Maira's pregnant, honey... Soon Maira will be a mother, and son Hidayat will be a father..." Obviously his mother smiled, but also with tears that did not stop glistening.

Maira. Her somber face and her adorable eyes still signify she is still devastated, although the news of her pregnancy is the thing she has been waiting for the most all along.

Bu Zainab nodded as she continued to stroke Maira's hand. He knew how Maira felt so much for her youngest son.

"Maira's pregnant, huh, Mom...?" He smiled, but roared in his smile.

"Yes, honey..." His mother and mother-in-law answered at the same time.

"Alhamdulillah... Maira now wants to see Brother, Mom... Maira wants to let you know that in Maira's womb we've planted the seeds of our love..." Maira scatters. Heart's crushed. He's very upset right now. The husband she loved so much was lying in the ER room and she did not know how she was.

His mother and mother-in-law immediately held him. "Swimming, Son... Calm... Mother please..."

Zainab hugged Maira. Her heart as a mother was also very broken for now. This was not the first time he had seen his son lying on a life bet in the hospital. Trauma still lingers in his mind, but he holds it up for the sake of his daughter-in-law.

"For this time I am sure that the child of the mother who is on the brink of death will be safe... I believe God will prolong his life... Mother believed God would make her right, and allowed her to gather with us again... Please, Son... Please be strong for Mom, for your husband, and for your baby..." Rintih Bu Zainab begged.

Maira gasps. He pulled his knees into his own embrace, and cried out. Satisfied with crying, Maira returned unconscious.

Arya entered the room where Kirana was being treated. Inside were his mother and Ayu. They seem to be happy with the existence of the first sons Kirana and Arya.

"Honey, Ayu was picked up with Rizki? Where are you going?" Kirana asked as Arya walked towards her.

"Maira fainted?"

"Yes, thank God for the good news, dear..." Arya tried to smile.

"How's the good news?" Kirana asked again, and was confused.

"Maira's pregnant, honey..."

"Yes Allah... Really, Honey?" Kirana heard her husband's statement.

"Yes... Unfortunately the pregnancy was weak, dear... So, he's gotta be treated first..." Arya tried to convince Kirana. "It's okay if they haven't been here, right, honey? Poor Maira..."

"aaa... I want to say congratulations to him... Twice survived... Congratulations to her graduation, also congratulations on her pregnancy..." Kirana Protest.

"Well, too, dear..."

"I called him ah..." Kirana said as she picked up her phone which she placed on her right side.

"Eh, not just yet..." Get Arya fast.

"Why?" Kirana was a little surprised to see her husband's reaction. He looked at Arya suspiciously.

"So, emmm... Maira was still unconscious, honey... He still can't be bothered... If it's okay, then their mom and dad will come here..." Arya said reasoned. He himself very much did not want his wife to know the true circumstances, because he knew the news would interfere with the health of Kirana who had just given birth.

"Owh, so..." Kirana looked disappointed.

Mama Arya looked at him as well with pity. He already knew his own son very well, and what Arya had hidden from them.

"If Ayu can see Mai-Mai's sister, no, Bang?" Ask Ayu.

"Don't do it, honey... Mending Ayu playing with baby grandpa here..." Ban Arya gently.

"All right..." Answer Ayu according.

"If Mama, may?" Ask mother.

"Byeah, Ma..."

"Can Mama's anterin get there?"

Arya glanced at Kirana.

"It's okay, honey... Kan, there's Ayu..." Kirana said as if understanding Arya's gaze.

"Thank you, Kiran..." Mama Arya.

"Yes, Ma... Mama careful... My mom is tired..."

"Yes..." The boy returned the baby to Kirana's arms.

"Come, Ma..." Take Arya.

Up outside, his mother looked at him sharply full of probing. "What's the matter, Ar?"

Arya took a long breath. He shook his body in the waiting chair of the hospital. "Wrong accident, Ma..."

"Astaghfirullah hal'azhiim's... Then how is he doing now?" Her mother was so shocked to hear the news about Hidayat.

"The doctor said, Hidayat suffered a severe head injury, Ma... He's still in a coma..." Answer Arya listlessly.

"Yes Allah... Then what about Maira, Ar?"

"Maira's still weak, Ma... Still in the treatment room... Mama's gonna take care of Maira for a second, Ma... Let me and Dad find Kirana... Kirana can't figure it out, ma..." Pinta Arya.

"Yes, Ar... Yeah..."

"Doain Hidayat, Ma... He's not Mama's son either, but for Arya he's like Arya's younger brother..." Pinta Arya Again holding her mother's hand.

"Yes... For me, they are like my own family... From them Mama realized the meaning of family..." Reveal her mother while stroking Arya's back to strengthen her child.
