Husband's Regret: Betrayed for Not Getting Pregnant
The Cracking of the Arumi Household
|| A few hours before household cracking Arumi and Mahesa ||
When the sun rises from the eastern horizon, the birds are awakened from their slumber. They flap tiny wings to find food. The sound of chicken crowing enliven the atmosphere in the morning.
In a luxurious house, a beautiful woman just came out of the bathroom. His face looks less fresh, even though the entire body has been exposed to cold water.
Ever since he got the short message and the friendly photos of the husband with a girl, the woman's heart and mind were not calm. Last night he could not sleep well, his mind wandered everywhere. Imagining the worst possibility will happen to the household that has been built for five years, making both Arumi's eyeballs reluctant to be closed.
Arumi flipped his body on a king-size soft bed in a room measuring 6×6 m2. The room that used to feel warm, now turned cold as an iceberg. All that happiness is now replaced by endless sadness.
As a result of thinking too much about the bad possibilities that will occur the next day, plus his work that never ends, gradually the two beautiful eyeballs were closed and the next second he fell asleep. And at exactly seven in the morning, the woman had just woken up from her long sleep.
Currently, a couple who according to some people seem to be in harmony with the same level of beauty are sitting together in the dining room. It had been more than five minutes the room was quiet, as if there were no signs of life. No one dared to open their mouths, they were silent a thousand languages.
Arumi was busy feeding food into her mouth while occasionally stealing glances at her husband who was busy playing a mobile phone. I don't know what Mahesa is doing but for sure this time the man is so happy. Seen from the corner of the man's lips that never stop to stare at a beautiful smile when staring at the cellphone screen.
Tired of the situation, Arumi lowered his ego slightly to start the conversation. "How are Mom and Dad?" arumi asked to break the silence of the morning atmosphere.
Mahesa who was focused on staring at the phone screen while occasionally feeding food into the mouth immediately choked when getting a question from the wife.
Uhuk!
A short question but it holds many traps. If Mahesa had wrongly answered, the fate of the household that was built with Arumi would have ended up at the court table.
"Don't rush. No one's gonna take your food, ma'am." The woman poured water into a glass and shifted it in front of Mahesa.
Without wasting time, Mahesa immediately gulped the glass down to the toilet. After his body returned comfortable and no rice entered through the airway or trachea, he answered Arumi's question. "Mama and Papa are in good health." He put the glass back. "They put their regards to you."
The woman nodded her head, her mouth open forming the letter O. But then he realized something. "When did your parents pay attention to me? As far as I'm concerned, as long as we're married they're indifferent and never even think I'm in your family."
The man's face changed immediately. A sweet smile was now nowhere to be seen on that handsome face that there was only a movement that hinted at restlessness, sweat that started to appear on the man's forehead.
"Ehm. That, I mean is-"
When Mahesa was about to give an explanation to Arumi, suddenly the man's device rang. The ringing sound of the phone saved him from a trap set by himself. With a quick movement he took the device and received the call.
"Hello" Mahesa said as the phone stuck to her ear. "Okay, I'll be there soon. I'll be there in thirty minutes."
Mahesa disconnected the phone call. He rushed to grab the suit that was draped in the chair and grabbed the briefcase that was on the side. "I have to go now. Hye!" said the man without giving the usual kiss given to the wife.
With long strides, he walked towards the parked car in front of the garage.
Arumi was ready to follow her husband but the sound of a cell phone ringing. Without seeing the caller ID, he already knew that it was an important call from the hospital.
"Hello, Sus!" arumi answered when the phone call was connected.
"Doctor, the patient in Dahlia's room is critical. Vital signs are weakening." A care nurse reported the condition of the patient who was operated on a few days ago by Arumi.
The woman looked surprised when she got a report from the hospital. Because, after surgery, the patient's condition shows in a better direction. There are no complications, the vital signs improve but why the patient's current condition is even declining.
Without a second thought, he immediately grabbed the keys of the car lying on the dining table. The woman was driving at high speed. Fortunately, the road conditions were smooth so that Arumi could get to the hospital only took less than forty minutes.
"The condition of the su-patient" the nurse said hung in the air as the heavy voice of a man with high intonation interrupted their conversation.
"Doctor Arumi, come to my room now!" rayyan orders with fiery eyes.
With a single shout, the woman with the body of a Spanish guitar immediately obeyed Rayyan's orders. He followed the man in the back.
Brak!
The sound of a table shake greeted Arumi as the woman's butt just sat on the chair in front of Rayyan.
"I have repeatedly reminded you to stay focused when doing surgery. Never play with someone's life!"
"You know, as a result of your negligence, the patient almost died!" snapped Rayyan in flames. The two men's eyeballs glared even barely dislodged and rolled in front of Arumi.
"It is fortunate that I arrived on time, so that the patient's condition was immediately treated. Otherwise, the patient's family will definitely sue this hospital on charges of malpractice. Although according to medical personnel the reaction experienced by the patient is a natural thing to happen to some patients post-surgery but for ordinary people, we are still wrong."
"Even if we have given a logical, medical and detailed explanation, they will never understand."
Rayyan was so frustrated. He threw the file on the table, then slammed the back of his body on the padded seat of his motherhood. His jaw hardened, both hands clenched so that his muscles bulged outward.
Arumi's face grew pale when he saw Rayyan throw the files and accidentally his hand nudged the decoration made of ceramics so that the decoration fell.
He closed his eyes and ears when he heard the sound of fragments of ceramic decoration on the floor. Until he thought maybe this was the end of his career as a doctor.
"I'm sorry, Doctor. However, when I did the surgery, everything was in accordance with the hospital procedure. I'm not-"
"Shut up!" rayyan. The man's eyes were flushed with the chest of the deflated flower, staring at Arumi wrathfully. "You better get out of here and never show up for a week."
"You, I'm resting for a week!"
"But, Doc-" Arumi wants to make it clear that he is not rested for one week.
"Go!"
With a heavy heart, Arumi left the room. He obeyed Rayyan's orders without refuting. For the woman, it is useless to defend herself. After all, Rayyan will still hate him even though he has done surgery according to hospital procedures.
