Husband's Regret: Betrayed for Not Getting Pregnant
Harapan Indah Hospital

When Rayyan invites Arumi to go to the hospital to meet with Firdaus, a twenty-six-year-old man is enjoying a meal prepared by the deity. He and his two best friends looked especially to eat gudeg rice, one of the special foods of Yogyakarta Special Region made from young jackfruit and then cooked with coconut milk. The dish is deliberately provided at the request of the bride who happens to be from Yoygakarta province.

"Oh yes, have you heard about the fire this morning that occurred in one of the apartment units in the West Jakarta area? From the information I heard, if the fire was caused by negligence from one of the apartment residents. At that time, he left in a state of the stove is still on," Fahmi said. The man is shoving the crackle into his mouth.

"Yes, I heard the news this afternoon. When my wife and I came back from the Netherlands" Andika said, Raihan's other friends chimed in. "If not wrong .. there were twenty fire victims. One person died and two people were seriously injured" he said.

"Living in one building with many people in it is indeed a risk of fire. Either caused by negligence of apartment residents or due to electric current. Therefore, before leaving the apartment, you should check the state of the stove first whether it is dead or alive. Sounds trivial, but when the Red Jago rampages anything near us can burn out." Raihan seemed to nod his head as a sign that he agreed to the words of his best friend.

After enjoying the meal, the three men boarded the pelaminan. They gave their blessing to both brides.

"Good new life, Jo. May be the same family," said Fahmi while greeting Jonatan and Zulaikha.

"I hope you two are always happy forever" Andika said.

"Thank you" Jonatan and Zulaikha replied almost simultaneously.

Now it's Raihan's turn to congratulate the two brides. "Happy wedding for you both. Hopefully after this your life will be more complete with the presence of cute and adorable children."

"Aamiinu. Thank you very much, Rai," Jonatan replied. He patted Raihan on the shoulder, then said, "Among the four of us, you're the only one who hasn't sold out. Remember Rai, finding a life partner is also important not only to teach and spread the knowledge you have to others. Don't focus so much on your career that you forget your nature as a human being."

Fahmi chimed in on Jonatan's words. "What he said was true! As long as you're young, find a companion soon, Rai. If you are thirty-five years old and above, usually the desire to marry has begun to decrease. You remember my cousin who worked in America? He's almost nearing head four, and until now there's no sign of letting go of single."

"That's because he's too focused on working to forget that he's almost four. I don't want to have an acute singles friend like you, Rai. Pity your parts if they are not used, they can rust later!" Fahmi laughed out loud as he said the last sentence. Satisfied because of the success of bullying his best friend. I don't know, he likes to provoke a commotion every time he gathers with his two friends.

Fahmi's remarks made Raihan squinted his eyes while unsheathing a sharp gaze. Do not like if he was made into bully-an material by his best friend and fellow debate.

Alarm warning danger signs again sounds then Andika takes over the game. Then, the man opened his voice. "You take it easy, sooner or later our friend who is notoriously indifferent and cold towards women will anchor his heart to someone. So, we'll wait for the invitation. Okay?" Patting Raihan on the shoulder, trying to help his best friend apart from bully-an Fahmi.

***

The three dashing and cool men again sat in their original places. This short time was used as best as they could. Although it is not uncommon for a small commotion between Raihan and Fahmi, but the problem can be resolved.

"When, you have decided to stay in Indonesia and take over the leadership of the television station company owned by your late Mama?" ask Fahmi.

Andika nodded her head. "Yeah! I must continue my Papa's leadership relay. He is too old and it is time to take a break after decades of leading the company. It's time for Papa to retire, enjoy old age with his grandchildren."

"I pray that the television station of your late Mama will be more successful under your control" said Raihan sincerely. Always support whatever the decision of his two best friends.

The half-bull-faced man spread out both hands, then pulled Raihan and Fahmi's shoulders. "With my move to Indonesia, we can meet again and spend time together. Next time, let's meet again!"

Raihan and Fahmi glanced at each other, then replied, "OK! We'll be together again."

Not long after, Raihan's cell phone rang. The handsome lecturer who was known to be firm and cold took out that flat object from inside the suit pocket. A short message from the rector of the campus where he worked appeared on the mobile phone screen, as well as a message from a foreign number back that had not been read by him filled the screen of a 6.5-inch object.

Intrigued by the contents of the message, Raihan moved his fingers and opened them. I swear by anything, it felt like the whole earth collapsed and fell on him when he read a short message sent by Puspa.

"Guys, I need to get out of here. There's something urgent to do!" raihan said to Andika and Fahmi. He left the room in a hurry. Andika and Fahmi just stared cengo at Raihan.

Walk half way to the car park. Raihan's feelings are uncertain. Anxiety and worry make the man increasingly speed up his steps to immediately drive his vehicle to the hospital.

Talking briefly with Andika has opened her eyes to accept the fact that Raihan's birth mother is the third person who has robbed people of their husbands. Even though the fact is bitter, but he must be breastfed and willing to admit the woman. As bad and as bad as Lena and Firdaus, they are still parents who must be respected by him.

Alphard's car sped through the streets of the capital. Overtaking other vehicles from his left and right sides. Raihan did not care about the sound of the horn and swearing of the angkot drivers (urban transportation) who felt jolted when the Sweet Black overtakes without giving a warning first.

The travel time should be approximately seventeen minutes, can be shortened to ten minutes. His desperate capital and his ability to overtake one vehicle with another now Raihan has entered the hospital grounds, where both parents are treated. At the same time, Lolly had just parked neatly after twenty minutes of walking down the middle of the crowded streets of the capital.

"Damn it, what's he doing here!" rayyan grumbled when her narrow eyes saw Raihan get off the car.

Arumi hurriedly rubbed her husband's shoulder gently as she said, "She must have been sent a message just like you. Be patient, not emotional first. For a while, hold your anger and hate towards Raihan and Aunt Lena for the common good."

Rayyan took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly trying to unravel the mounting anger. He looked at Arumi's face with a fixed gaze, as if he was looking for calm and peace there.

"Remind me if the devil in me comes into action. I was afraid I couldn't control myself when I met the woman and her child" Rayyan said.

Mengulum gave a warm smile while holding out her long, wiggly hands to the left side. Arumi touched the back of the hand that was still gripping the steering wheel of the car. "According to your request, I'll always remind you that you're caliph. We both reminded each other, yeah!" Rayyan replied to Arumi with a nod of her head.

"Yes, let's go down! The sooner we meet Papa, the sooner our business is done. Pity the children if they are left too long" said Arumi.

The typical aroma of the hospital that ventured into the air became the first greeting for the couple when their legs tracked the white floor into the six-story building. The atmosphere around is still quite crowded even though the time has shown at eight pm local time. Downstream medics and some visitors are still seen fluttering there.

Shades of white and light green and the placement of flower pots at several points in the hospital make the hospital look beautiful and eye-catching. Although the accreditation status is still C but various supporting facilities are adequate and cleanliness is also worth a thumbs up.

"Excuse me, Sister. Where's the ICU room?" arumi asked one of the female nurses standing behind the desk.

"There's on the third floor. Mom took the elevator over there, after exiting the elevator turn right." The female nurse's hand behind the table pointed towards the object made of iron.

"Thank you" Arumi said. Then, he immediately approached Rayyan who was waiting for his wife in front of the buffer pole. "Get out of the elevator door, we turn right!" The woman conveyed the information she had obtained to her husband.

Two lovebirds swing their legs together towards the elevator door that will take the two towards the third floor. When he saw the square box still moving upwards, Rayyan looked anxious. Sometimes he tapped his dark brown slop shoes on the floor to make a noise.

Arumi, who was looking at her husband, smiled faintly when she saw the look of anxiety on her husband's face. Although Rayyan never expressed her affection for Firdaus, but she was sure, the man who had been editing her one year ago was very fond of the middle-aged man who was now lying in the hospital.

To appease her husband, Arumi embraced Rayyan's arm while saying, "Relieve me, everything will be fine. Keep praying, begging God that Papa can go through a critical period." The woman channeled a little strength through the touch of a hand.

Touched by the soft hands that had taken care of his three children, Rayyan's heart became calmer. Feelings of anxiety, panic, and worry instantly disappear when the soft fingers touch the surface of the skin. The faster-paced heartbeat is now starting to pump regularly. Benak the man begins to be able to think clearly and convince himself that everything will be fine as long as there is Arumi by his side.

As the elevator door clang and opened, Arumi held her husband's arm, leading the man into the elevator. Slowly, a square object made of iron carried the couple's body up towards the third floor.

'Mom, I hope you're not mad if I see Papa. I just want to meet Papa and be by his side if God is going to take back the soul that has been entrusted into Papa's body, Rayyan's mind.
