Let the Heart Choose
Just for a moment

Andra went in and sat down in a chair that had been prepared by the canteen, he ordered a serving of mixed rice.

"Where are you from?" ask Andra to start a conversation.

"Malang mas," the man replied briefly.

Andra nodded softly, because the canteen was quite crowded making his order not come. There are so many patients who seek treatment here, so even though the canteen is still crowded visitors.

"Where's the gas?" ask the man.

"Here you are, my son just had an accident" replied Andra.

Hearing Andra's reply, the man lowered his head. Seemed a deep sadness, eager for Andra to ask something that stuck his heart since then.

"The wife has cancer" the man replied.

Andra just fell silent, it was fitting that she treated that woman so special. The person looked at Andra fixedly, still a look of sadness in his eyes.

"I just want to give a message, take time for the wife. Because we do not know what he has been keeping neat, a wife has her own way to cover her helplessness with a smile" said the man with teary eyes, it was as if it was a sadness in the old pendam.

Andra was only stunned by the man's words, trying to digest the man's message.

Didn't expect the man to shed a tear that was straight on the smooth, repeatedly he looked his head up. Then throw a glance at Andra.

"Over the last 5 years. I guess everything's fine, I'm sorry I abandoned it. I should have been better .." said the man in a cold voice.

Andra just smiled and nodded, while the man grabbed a plastic bag containing his ordered food.

As if knowing what Andra was facing right now, she moved out of her chair and patted Andra on the shoulder before stepping away.

No matter how long, the food that Andra ordered served in front of him. The stomach that was hungry suddenly became full.

He chose to wrap his food and order another pack of food. Shortly after, she reached Alif's room.

He saw Nada sitting down and put her head on the side of Alif's bed, to be honest Andra was very ashamed of herself.

Even a person who was originally a nobody could become very close to his son and could give his all.

"Eat the yuk" said Andra stroking softly Tone hair.

His tone shortened and rubbed his eyes. He seemed to be exhausted, not knowing if anyone had entered.

Expressionless Nada grabbed the plastic bag that Andra was carrying, she immediately sat on the floor that was on the mat.

"Thank you" said Nada when opening a plastic bag containing 2 packs of rice and iced tea.

In the past, she would have invited her husband to eat together. Andra has lost his wife

There was no warm greeting or even attention from yesterday, their relationship was like a vegetable without salt. Tasteless.

Andra can understand this and always pray for the state of the household is fine, at this time she began to understand the heartache of Nada.

Just like he saw Nada was so familiar with the Doctors and nurses in this hospital, even though before Andra knew when they were good friends of Nada.

As strong as Andra rejects Kinan's love, he is like a ghost that continues to haunt around him. Moreover, the guilt that seems to have ingrained.

Andra decided to sit down with Nada and eat together, waiting for her to take her along. It's an impossible thing.

"Later you go home, let Mas wait for Alif." said Andra.

Tone was silent, he was still focused on the rice he ate. It was as if her ears had not heard her husband's words.

"Nad, I know you're still angry. But you also need rest" Andra said.

Tone stopped her eating, she threw a glance towards her husband who was looking at her lethargicly.

"Sometimes, tired it is not because of homework or taking care of children. I'm used to it like this, and I know it too. So don't worry." said Nada expressionlessly.

Andra sighed, it turned out that Nada was really serious with her words. He just can't bear to see his wife tired, but that's not all called good by Nada.

"Zaskia also needs you, your health is also important Nad," said Andra stroked soft cheek Nada.

In the past, Nada had very much expected a situation like this. But it all felt bland when he got it. The look in her eyes towards Andra's hand that touched her cheek.

"I don't like having my body touched by dirty hands like this" said Nada, releasing her husband's hand that was stuck to her cheek.

"You can be angry, you don't like it, you can even ask for a divorce from me. But you need to know, I will not divorce you until anytime" said Andra firmly.

The rice that passed through Nada's throat stopped abruptly, making him cough and tight. Andra immediately gave her a glass of iced tea that was beside her.

"Slow down Nad," said Andra rubbing Nada's back.

Tone immediately brushed aside Andra's hand, Nada's eyes heating up just like her heart and mind.

"If you don't want to divorce me, I'll get out of your life." Threaten Tone.

Andra did not budge, he returned to his original sitting position and tried to calm down.

"I know, I was wrong. And I didn't close my eyes to your heartache, but. Can we work together for a while, Alif really needs our support. You can be angry and cheerful. After all these problems are over," Andra said expressionlessly.

A second Nada did not expect Andra to say such a beautiful word, since when did she understand my injuries? I hope this isn't a trick.

Nada immediately cleaned the rice paper wrap that still had some food, his stomach was still hungry. It's just that his mouth is still hard to chew food.

"I don't want to go home, you're the only one coming home. Zaskia has formula milk, right? he's also used to this." said Nada.

At first Zaskia did not like formula milk, for some reason lately her in-laws can successfully persuade her to drink the milk.

As a result now, he was getting used to formula milk. Rarely eat, or even drink breast milk. This is enough to make the emotions of the Tone soar.

Does the father-in-law not know their financial condition? To have to perform like this. He's getting sick of the house.

All the prices of groceries soared badly, what else is Zaskia milk. And now he has to see his in-laws instead suggest a really good milk and that is certainly quite draining of the bag.

Tone looks very emotional, it seems difficult for Andra to persuade Nada. Until finally he chose to give up and went home again.
