"I'm sorry, Riko. I had to take medical action without your consent. I'm confused who I want to contact, while Naila's situation is getting weaker. The bleeding must be stopped immediately."
After arriving at the hospital, Riko immediately met Hanna in her room. The beautiful doctor wanted to talk to her first before seeing Naila.
"I'm the one who's sorry, Hanna. I'm guilty of ignoring all the calls on my phone. I'm so grateful to you. You're really my best friend." Riko and Hanna are best friends from teenagers, even their parents are like brothers.
"Alhamdulillah the state of Naila is also stable. She was transferred to the same treatment room at the time. It's okay, isn't it, Riko?" ask Hanna.
"It doesn't matter, Hanna. I should be the one to thank you for bothering you to take care of everything. Even you haven't come home yet for waiting for me" Riko replied guiltily.
"Then, let's go to Naila's room. I'm just suggesting, keep your wife feeling. As of now, Naila is silent, she has not spoken to anyone. If I ask, he just shakes his head and nods." Hanna explains to Riko about Naila's current attitude.
"Well .. thank you for telling me. I'll try to keep her feelings in check" Riko promised Hanna.
"Oh, yes, I also asked the person who helped Naila to come here tomorrow. Thank him. And one more thing, it looks like someone deliberately intended to harm your wife. He said his sister saw the oil container where Naila fell. Especially if you look at Naila's clothes, filled with spills of drinks, it looks like a spill of fruit juice." Hanna told Riko what Jacob and Sarah had told her.
"Astaghfirullah .. Is that not his friend Eva?" Only that name was on Riko's mind at the moment. Moreover, Eva once threatened with photos sent to Naila's phone.
"Eva?" ask Hanna curiously.
"Yes, he's an employee of this hospital as well, if not the wrong part of his administration. She's Naila's college friend and she's also the one who made the appointment with my wife to meet at the cafe." Riko explained to Hanna.
"Everything has to be ensured first, Riko. Don't be rash about making accusations, you have to have hard evidence." Hanna reminded because she herself did not know an office employee named Eva. Hanna has only been in this hospital for a few months.
"Foul said too, Hanna. All right, let's go to my wife's room first. I want to see him immediately" said Riko impatiently.
Hanna and Riko walk towards the room where Naila is being treated. A nurse asks Hanna to accompany Naila. Riko immediately hugged his sitting wife and looked at her.
"Darling, I'm sorry, yeah ...."
Naila was silent, only the sound of sobs could be heard in the embrace. After being satisfied with crying, he poured down his body while wiping away the remaining tears.
"Naila, anything to complain about?" ask Hanna.
Naila looked at Hanna then shook her head.
"All right, I'll go home first, yeah. Later if there is a complaint or something you need, just say the same nurse. Tomorrow morning I'll see you again."
Naila simply nodded and smiled in response to Hanna's remark.
"Thank you, Hanna. Again I'm sorry for bothering you."
"I don't feel bothered at all. It is my job to help my best friend. Your job now, take care of your wife. And please, remember my message. Excuse me first."
After Hanna and the nurse who accompanied Naila left, Riko again sat down beside Naila.
"Darling ...."
Naila doesn't care about Riko's calls. She looked at her husband's face for a while and immediately turned her back to Riko and closed her eyes. Riko gave up and did not want to disturb his wife. He knew Naila was disappointed in him. He just stroked Naila's back gently.
After making sure Naila was completely gone, Riko lay on the sofa and tried to close her eyes. Drowsiness and fatigue are no longer felt. Naila's attitude that was just silent, made her agitated. Coupled with Hanna's words, it made her feel even more guilty.
***
The morning prayer rang out, Riko immediately woke up from her sleep which was only two hours. He can sleep at two in the morning. Naila got up and looked at him.
Riko smiled at Naila but Naila immediately turned her face away. Riko could only sigh deeply then walk towards the bathroom and take ablution. He immediately carried out the duties of his two rakaat, before speaking with his wife.
After finishing the prayer, Riko immediately approached Naila and sat down before her. He gently held Naila's hand and then let her catch it.
"Darling, I'm sorry, yeah. Yesterday I finished all my work first until night," said Riko looking for an excuse.
"Darling, why are you quiet? Speak out! Please, don't be like this. I know I'm wrong but don't punish me this way."
"Naila darling, please ...."
"You're not wrong, Mom. I was wrong for being less careful." Naila finally had to talk. She could not bear to see her husband continuously apologizing.
"No, Honey. I was wrong. If only I had accompanied you ...."
"I want to go to the bathroom, Mom. Please help me." Naila cut off Riko's words because she didn't want to extend the conversation.
"All right .. Let me help you. Last night I also brought you a change of clothes."
Patiently, Riko helped Naila to the bathroom and changed clothes. Shortly after, a hospital attendant delivers breakfast to Naila.
"I'm a bribe, yeah ...."
Naila nodded her head without saying a word. His body was still limp and his head was very dizzy at this moment. Coupled with a sense of loss, making Naila more sad and reluctant to talk.
After finishing eating, Riko again apologized to Naila.
"Darling, I'm sorry, yeah ...."
Riko looked at Naila's pale face. There was only silence and a heavy sigh from the two. Shortly after, Naila asked.
"Mas, were you angry with me yesterday?"
"I'm not angry, honey .. just .. I don't like your friends. Everywhere I meet them. Moreover, that one of your friends, the look in his eyes at you is very disrespectful," Riko replied honestly.
"Do you blame me?" Naila's question made Riko think.
"No, honey, that's not what I meant . It's natural that I'm jealous. My wife was accompanied by three men ...."
"Astaghfirullah .. it's a public place, Mas. Should I throw them out?" Naila immediately cut off Riko's words which irritated her.
"That's not what I mean .. They just shouldn't have taken a chance." Riko tries to find an excuse so that Naila does not misunderstand him.
"They're good intentions, ma'am. They just want to keep me company because I'm alone." Naila tried to soften her voice. He doesn't want to get emotional.
"There is Bi Marni accompanying you ...." Riko doesn't accept the reason Naila gave her.
"Yes .. maybe I was the wrong one to let them accompany me because my husband was still taking care of work at a wedding." Naila also relented, because anger would only make her more dizzy.
Riko could no longer deny Naila's words. He admitted his mistake, putting his job first without thinking about his wife's circumstances.
"Yes .. yes .. sorry, dear. I promise I won't do that again."
"How many times have you promised me that, Mom? Since meeting with Bhishma, then Daffa and now Reza. All my male friends you're jealous!"
"Sorry, Honey. This time I'm really sorry. I promise I won't repeat. I'm sorry, yeah."
"May you always remember your promise. Mom, I've lost twice. Can I still get pregnant again?"
"It can be, Hanna told me, your uterus is fine. God willing, we must have a baby. Patience, yes, dear."
Riko grabbed Naila's weak body and kissed her forehead. Naila cried again, sad at losing her baby for the second time.
"Patience, yes, dear. Rest assured, we will soon have a baby."
Riko tried to convince Naila. He perfectly understood Naila's current feelings. He actually felt the same sadness but tried to stay strong.
Naila broke away from the crib and smiled. She knew her husband was sad too.
"Mas, you don't work, do you?"ask Naila happily. She hoped that Riko would accompany her and not leave her alone.
"I've permission. But .. sorry, maybe I'll be at the office for a while. There was an appointment with an important client that could not be represented," replied Riko who made Naila frown again.
"Alright .. Lately I've been used to myself."
"Don't do it, dear. Later after the meeting, I will definitely come straight here. I'll call Bi Marni first.
"No need, Mas. I will wait for you, pity Bi Marni if I have to come here. If allowed, I'd like to go home today, ma'am."
"Well, I'll ask Hanna first. I take a shower for a while, yeah, keep going."
"Don't forget breakfast, Mum!"
"Later I'll have breakfast with Mr. Supri alone at the restaurant near the office."
Once ready, Riko said goodbye to Naila. He walked out of the room in a hurry and hit someone who was right in front of the room door.
"Sorry ...."
"Yes .. It's okay, Bro."
"Once again I'm sorry, excuse me."
Riko walked quickly to the parking lot. Supri was waiting in the car. Last night, Riko immediately sent Supri home after dropping her off. She knew that her domestic assistant and personal driver were also very tired.
While Riko is unaware, the two people in front of her room intend to visit Naila. He forgot Hanna's words, that the person who helped Naila would come.
"Is this really his room? Who was that, brother? How similar his face ..." asked Sarah to her brother. He noticed the face of the man who hit Jacob was similar to someone he knew.
"Rony?"
"I .. yes ... is she her husband?" Nervously, Sarah answered Jacob's question. She was afraid that if she mentioned Rony's name, her brother would get angry.
"We better go in and ask him ourselves" Jacob said. Sarah knocked on the door before entering.
Jacob was still watching Riko who was walking along the hospital corridor until it disappeared. He smiled cunningly as suddenly an evil plan flashed through his mind.
"Hemm .. That was I'm sure Riko. If that woman is Rony's sister-in-law, it's a coincidence. I'll approach that woman named Naila. Let Rony feel how his brother is hurt because his wife is taken away by people."
