Forced to Share a Bed
Lose Step

"Pak Zulfikar," said the Brotherhood. Greeting me, followed by a doctor whose age was likely the same as mine.

"I'm Dr Rahmi" he said.

"I'm Zulfikar."

"He's still my cousin, sir," added the Brotherhood sir.

"Okay, no problem. As long as it can work professionally," I said as I walked to the hospital mosque.

The plan is to perform Maghrib prayer first. After that, just talk about the prenuptial agreement and go back to see Hanin.

After the Magrib prayer, I drove Dr. Rahmi to see Hanin. While the Brotherhood man was waiting for me at the cafe located in front of the hospital.

"Please cooperate, you can be a doctor for him. Don't ask anything but medical conditions" I said as we passed through the hospital. I have to make sure this doctor is really on my side.

"So calm down" he answered briefly.

"Did the Brotherhood tell you?" my many.

"Already Sir. Mr. Brotherhood has told me everything. You need not worry. "

"Thank God you understand. If you feel objected to keeping this secret, I suggest that from now on it is better to just back off. I can find another doctor."

"I promise, Sir. As long as my duty does not violate the medical profession's code of conduct, I'm sure I can handle it."

Not feeling, Hanin's room was already in front.

"Okay, this is the room. Originally treated in the executive room, but she refused and wanted to move into this room." While knocking on the door.

Then Listi opened the door. My eyes were immediately on Hanin. He's sleeping.

"Sstt." Listi signals not to be noisy.

"So Maghrib prayer, he said sleepy, sleep 'deh," said Listi in a soft voice.

"Such beauty," praised doctor Rahmi who is currently staring at Hanin.

"Who used to dong his brother," sela Listi while grinning. I approached Hanin to kiss her forehead.

"You're her brother?" ask Dr. Rahmi on Listi.

"Yes, Doc. Meet me, my name is Listi. Daini's brother." Listi lied.

"Ehm, how is it different? From its appearance it is very different. Her sister looks like a heaven expert, while her brother looks like an expert--."

Did not continue his sentence because Listi had hunted smothering the mouth of Dr. Rahmi. I smile. They just met but quickly became familiar.

"Hey, don't be rude, Doc! I'm also a candidate for heaven!" jolt Listi, but stick with a slow voice.

"Hahaha, you don't take it personally dong. I want to say her brother looks like an expert in the field of beauty," said Dr. Rahmi.

"Oh, so? Hihihi, sorry yes, Doc. Kirain."

Listi laughed so hard. Be Hanin awake. When she opened her eyes, I peeked at her forehead.

"Sir Zulfikar?" Hanin got up and grabbed my hand.

"Sorry Dai, is it noisy?" listi.

"It's okay, brother."

"Honey, this is Dr. Rahmi, from today on, he will be your personal doctor." I introduced Dr. Rahmi to Hanin.

"W-what? Doctor private?"

She's surprised. What else when Dr. Rahmi thrust his hand to shake hands. Hanin looks nervous.

"I'm doctor Rahmi Indadari, just call Dr Rahmi."

"Em, I-I'm Daini" he said shyly. Then kissed the hand of Dr. Rahmi. Doctor Rahmi is shocked. Directly withdraw his hand.

"Mom, don't kiss my hand" said Dr. Rahmi. Hanin glanced at me. I looked at him smiling.

"Honey, he's your personal doctor. Maybe doctor Rahmi's embarrassed that you kissed her hand."

"But, kissing hands on older people doesn't matter?" expostulation.

"Yes, Mom. It doesn't matter. But I'm not comfortable" explained Dr Rahmi.

"Yes, you know, if my wife wants to kiss my hands, please don't question yes" I said.

"Good, sir."

Seen in the face of Dr. Rahmi. He seemed to admire Hanin's figure. My wife is amazing. Women admire him, what else am I.

"The long name is Daini Hanindiya Princess Sadikin Antasena" I explained. Hanin glanced, perhaps disagreeing as I added the frills of Antasena behind her name.

"It's so pretty." Again doctor Rahmi praised Hanin.

"Don't call mom, just call Daini" Hanin refused.

"Yes, since you're already acquainted, I'll go first, baby."

"Where else are you going, sir? Going home?" Hanin looked at me as if I didn't want to leave.

"No, baby, I'm not coming home. Want to discuss something with the Brotherhood sir, not far 'kok, in the cafe in front of this hospital. After that, me and the Brotherhood will come back here."

"Oh," Hanin replied briefly.

"Did you not want me to go?" godaku's.

"Ti-no 'tuh, you can go wherever you want" he said.

"Haha."

I laugh. Listi and doctor Rahmi smiled. Hanin blushed. Her face is beautiful and beautiful. Oh my gosh, if only the obstetrician hadn't banned me.

"Well, I say yes, my dear." I hugged him, he brushed. Maybe embarrassed because there is Listi and doctor Rahmi.

"Quick, Mr. Director. If the hug continues, the business will not be finished" commented Listi.

After kissing her stomach, I left. In the doorway, I turned my body to look back at her beautiful face.

Now, no more regrets, "Why did Hanin and I meet at such an inopportune time? Why am I late for knowing him?"

That regret has been replaced by happiness. Because, the incident actually made me able to find it. Finding hidden pearls that are shiny, well preserved, beautiful apparently, even habits.

...🍒🍒🍒...

"What?! You sure Miss Dewi bit herself to slander Miss Daini?! Is there any evidence that Dewi's mom bit Daini's mom?!"

Mr. Brotherhood fought after hearing my explanation. His eyes were so shocked.

"My brother Hanin didn't say that the Goddess bit him, he just said he fell in the bathroom and fainted. The bite marks on Hanin's body I just found out from his best friend."

"Hanin even told Listi to keep it a secret. At Listi, Hanin did not explain why the wound was there. At first, Listi actually thought that I was the one who had done violence to Hanin," I explained at length.

"Hmm, if Ms. Daini covers it up, this case is hard to prosecute, sir. What else if it is associated with your suspicion of the psychological mother of Dewi. If medically proven, Miss Dewi suffered psychological disorders, then all criminal and civil actions that were denied to her could not be processed by law."

I let out a long sigh, so I recalled the habits of the Goddess that I once considered to be commonplace. After having Hanin, little by little, I came to know the difference.

"Actually, I want to sue the prenuptial agreement."

"Sir, please think again. I mean, the points you will contest must be clear why. Family mom Goddess is not just anyone, don't be rash, sir."

"My brother, if you want to talk about power, my family is in power too." I'm getting a little upset.

"I understand, but please Mr. Zulfikar examine your current position. Yes, my family is in power. But are they on your side? Remember, your mama was very angry with your decision, and to my knowledge, yesterday Ms. Yuze told her secretary that she would catch up with your papa out of town. Possibility to discuss your problem."

"What's? Is my dad not home yet?"

"No, Sir. There may be an additional agenda. Have you not communicated with Mr Aksa for a long time?" Mr. Brotherhood stared in astonishment.

"Lately, I've been busy. Besides being busy with office work, I was also busy with Hanin and Dewi's affairs. I don't like polygamy. Polygamy is troublesome," I complained.

"Haha." The Brotherhood even shook their heads while laughing.

"Are you sure you don't like polygamy?"

"Related," I insisted.

"But don't want to take one of them off?" continued.

"My brother, for now, I am forced to share a bed because his condition requires me to be like that. I can't divorce Hanin because I love her. Besides, Hanin's pregnant with my son."

"I also cannot divorce the Goddess for various reasons and stumbling blocks. First, I am under a prenup. Second, Hanin doesn't want me to divorce the Goddess. Until now Hanin had always felt guilty for seizing the Goddess' happiness."

"Three, which I've already explained, sir. Goddess threatened me. He said I wouldn't see him in this world if I divorced him."

"Goh." Mr. Brotherhood exhaled.

"Let's just say, for a while, we'll wait for the results of the investigation. May the person you command be trusted. While waiting for him, you also don't stay silent."

"If necessary, you must record the words or behavior of the Goddess mother secretly. The recordings, in the future can be used as forensic data to analyze the psychic health of the Goddess."

I nodded in agreement.

"If until the medical record data is not found, and Miss Dewi really does not have any abnormalities, you will be prosecuted, sir."

'Shelf.' I spontaneously broke the table. Mr. Brotherhood was surprised.

"I'm sure the Dewi family deliberately deceived me, sir! A ten-year marriage treaty and a threat would punish me if there was another woman by my side, it was all their idea! I remember, my father had questioned and disapproved of this point! Arghh!" my yelling. Fortunately, the cafe is quiet.

"Patience, Sir. Patience." Mr. Brotherhood is holding my shoulder.

"When I was given the freedom to choose the woman I wanted, Angel tricked me into losing my family and was disappointed. When I obeyed my mother papa's choice, their choice disappointed me."

I clenched my hands tightly while bowing my head to the side of the table.

"Sir, this is a test. Be kind if the Almighty is giving you the temptation to raise your level. Now you already have Bu Daini. At least, the existence of Bu Daini can make your days flowery, right?"

"Not flowers anymore. But more than that. When I was with Hanin, I felt like the world was supporting me. I got excited. Oiya, she's pregnant with twins, Hanin's great, right, sir?"

"Twin? Thank God," I'm very happy," cried Mr. Ikhwan.

"Other than recording, what else am I supposed to do, sir?"

"My congratulations, before Miss Dewi changed her mind and the existence of bu Daini is known to the public, it would be nice if you hide Ms. Daini. Ms. Daini is pregnant with Pak, we must take care of her psychic and psychological condition" he suggested.

"Again, I have the intention to hide Hanin. What about the Goddess threat, sir? Two days ago he asked me to divorce Hanin within 3x24 hours. Tomorrow is the last day" I complained.

"What was the moment you met, Miss Dewi discussed the matter again?"

"No Sir. Whether he forgot, pretended to forget or what the reason was, he obviously did not mention it. I'm confused Brotherhood sir, Goddess changes her mind often."

The Brotherhood sir furrowed his brows, and seemed to remember something.

"Didn't you ever say that Miss Dewi had threatened to humiliate Ms. Daini in front of her office friends?"

"Yes, Sir. He said that."

"But Goddess ma'am didn't do it, did she?"

"Yes, Sir. Hanin won't be at work for three days because of illness. Then when he went to work again, he passed out in the bathroom."

"Hmm, for anticipation, how about you pretend to have divorced Miss Daini? That's just advice, sir. Whether you agree or not" he said.

"No Sir! I can't! Even if I pretend, I still can't! I'm afraid the Goddess asked for proof of divorce and asked me to swear in the name of God. Imagine, Sir. The goddess asked me not to fuck Hanin and swear in God's name."

"Mr Ikhwan, help me, sir. I cannot continue my relationship with the Goddess. I'm very depressed. But I was confused what to do. I am also afraid of my father. What if my papa is also on the Goddess' side? How's this, sir?"

Without hesitation or embarrassment, I held the hands of the Brotherhood sir. My eyes glazed. Without hesitation as well, the Brotherhood sir rubbed my shoulders.

"Pak Zulfikar, be patient. You and I are trying. We just have to wait for the result."

"Sir, did I just let go of everything? I don't care about my position anymore. All this time, frankly, I was just pretending to be tough." I'm massaging my forehead.

"Sir Zulfikar, letting go of everything does not mean that it will solve the problem. I'm sure Bu Dainipun doesn't want you to do that."

"Yes, Sir. Hanin and I talked about it. He strengthened me to face this problem together. I once asked her to flee abroad. But he refused."

"Look, tomorrow, how about we schedule a meeting with Pak Aksa? I'll be the mediator for you. Involve Mr. Sabil as well. Like Ms. Yuze, Mr. Aksa also has to see the CCTV footage, sir."

"I agree. But Mr. Ikhwan, right now my priority is to defend Hanin and bring Hanin into the Antasena family. I don't care about the CCTV anymore. I also don't care about the person who is strangling Hanin. I just want my mom and dad to accept Hanin."

"Yes, Sir. We also explain that Ms. Daini has been pregnant. Pak Aksa and Bu Yuze are intellectuals, they should be able to accept Miss Daini."

"My father and mother are well educated, sir. But they can't possibly accept my polygamy decision that easily. They must've accused me of being an ungodly husband who would betray his wife."

"Sir Zulfikar, the heart cannot be forced nor can it be denied. If in fact you have not loved Miss Dewi and suddenly fell in love with Miss Daini, is it your fault?"

"True Dewi said, if only the woman in the wrong room was not Hanin, I might not be caught in this anxiety and confusion, sir. Honestly, Hanin has indeed taken my heart."

"Sir Zulfikar, if I can be honest, I am also actually amazed and interested in Daini, hehehe, he said.

"What?!" I am obviously shocked and angry.

"Haha." The Brotherhood laughed again.

"Don't be rude, sir!" my sentakku.

"I just want to melt the atmosphere, don't take it seriously, sir. All men love beautiful women, right?" presumedly. I pouted, upset. Then drink my coffee latte."

"After knowing who Papa Aksa is on whose side, we should discuss this matter with his parents bu Dewi. Don't forget to pray for the best way out" he suggested.

"Aamiin," I said.

After rereading a copy of the prenuptial agreement, I and the Brotherhood went from the cafe to the hospital. Mr. Ikhwan asked to see Hanin.

...🍒🍒🍒...

When I arrived at the treatment room, Hanin was wearing henna by Dr. Rahmi, Listi held Hanin's hand.

"Sir, I was forced to wear henna. I refused" said Hanin.

"Sorry sir, I was wrong. Hehehe, I did deliberately bring henna. When looking at her pretty hands, so can't wait to be creative," explained Dr. Rahmi.

"It's just halal, right?" my many.

"Halal dong, sir," said Listi.

"Emm, it's okay, baby. Just continue. Oiya, outside there's a Brotherhood man, is it okay if I bring him in?"

I asked permission first to Hanin because Listi said, Hanin often avoids meeting the opposite sex except for work and was always accompanied by Listi.

"Mr Ikhwan's lawyer?"

"Dear, she wants to look at you, okay?"

"Emm, since there's a Father, it doesn't seem like a problem. Visiting the sick 'kan sunah, can strengthen the ukhuwah, brotherhood, and solidarity of fellow Muslims. Some even say that visiting the sick person is fardhu 'ain if the sick person is a relative or close family. The reason is because visiting includes part of the friendship, while the relationship is mandatory law," he explained.

I, Dr. Rahmi, and Listi listened to Hanin's words.

"Neng Daini is very clever" said Dr Rahmi.

"So call neng?" That call in my ear sounds a little strange.

"Yes, Sir. Bu Daini did not want to be called mother. Yes, I followed with Listi calling him neng."

"As long as my wife doesn't matter, you do it" I explained as I opened the door. Mr. Ikhwan is in. He immediately smiled at Hanin.

"Don't look at my wife for long!" I spontaneously punched the stomach of the Brotherhood sir.

"Ouch, Sir. Excuse me. Haha." Sit down and laugh.

Just information. Mr. Ikhwan is a two-child widower, his wife died of breast cancer. The age of the Brotherhood is five years from me. Mr. Brotherhood 35 years, I'm 30 years old. So it's only natural that I'm jealous and a little uncomfortable?

"Thank you for visiting me, sir. I pray that the Brotherhood is healthy always" Hanin said.

Then we talked. But in the middle of the conversation, when he opened his phone, the Brotherhood man suddenly looked shocked. He came closer to my side and pulled out his cell phone.

"A son of a famous businessman and a relative of state officials who entered the ranks of crazy rich Indonesia is rumored to have had an illicit relationship or affair with his subordinates. As a result of the news, the wife who is also the only daughter of crazy rich reportedly experienced severe trauma to be psychologically disturbed."

Deg, that online article made my heart beat. Me and the Brotherhood stared at each other. My body rippled, I bowed. Hope Hanin doesn't realize my baldness.

"Me and Mr. Zulfikar have to get out first. A moment 'kok," said the Brotherhood sir. Hanin looked at me while nodding slowly.

"Sir Zulfikar, I believe this is an alibi" the Brotherhood alleged when we were in front of the room.

"I mean Father?"

"I'm not sure yet 'sih. But the lady Goddess's side has kissed your gelagat, sir. Although Miss Dewi said you have not told your case to her family, but the news was deliberately made to build public opinion if the pain of Miss Dewi was caused by you."

In my heart I was privileged. The goddess turned out to have a surefire way to deny my suspicions. He has gone far ahead of me. Mr. Ikhwan looks agitated.

"I'm not sure if Madam Dewi has not told her parents about this problem" the Brotherhood alleged.

"I also thought like that, How is this, sir?"

"Hurry and get Daini from here, sir. Before Bu Daini knew the news, you had to take her to a safe place and make her calm down. About where, huh?"

"What to Bandung?" I have an idea.

"For a while, before journalists know the identity of bu Daini, to Bandung can also be. You need to calm down, sir. Act as if it's not you."

"Okay" I replied slowly.

Then we went back to the treatment room. Then Dr. Rahmi and the Brotherhood permission to go home. After that, Listipun permission to go home. Now, in this room, it's just me and Hanin.

Without saying anything. I immediately hugged him. Hanin fell silent, he didn't say anything. But he returned my arms.

"Darling, tomorrow, after the Fajr prayer, I will take you to Bandung," I said as I took off the crib and laid back his body.

"To Bandung?" His eyes have two perceptions. Between joy and surprise.

"Dear, you miss 'is it the same ummi, brother?"

"Emm, yes sir. I really miss them. But ...." He seemed doubtful.

"But what?" my many.

"That's okay." Duck.

"I helped wash the henna, okay? You haven't prayed Isya, have you?" I'm putting the conversation aside to hide my anxiety.

"Yes, Sir. I don't stay asleep" he lamented.

"Prophey darling. 'For the sake of our son." While cleaning the henna in his hands with a wet tissue.

"Oiya, has Dr Rahmi seen the wound on your chest?"

"Already, it's been treated. But I'm forbidden to wear the inside, so it's uncomfortable" he lamented.

"What's? Hahaha, geez baby, you shouldn't have to say. I'll be ma----."

"Abwww!" Hanin interrupted my sentence with a pinch in my stomach.

"Not funny, sir," he murmured.

"Sorry," I said while wiping it off because Hanin suddenly got out of bed.

"Honey, how come you're down 'sih?"

"It's okay to 'kok, sir. The doctor said it was okay because the blood spots had stopped."

"really? It means it can be --."

"Abwww!" Again, Hanin pinched my stomach.

"Can't yet, sir. We have to wait a month" he said.

"Let's find another way, dear" my god. Hanin smiled.

"agreed? Wanna?" my many.

I need clarity. Hanin pondered for a moment. My heart was pounding, afraid of rejection. Then Hanin nodded. Then he agreed with my idea. Fizzy cheeks.

"Yes." Yeah." I'm also jolly.

...~Tbc~...
