I was sent to the hospital? what's it doing, Mom?" Danu was asked to go to the famous hospital in Bengkulu. Of course he felt there were no reports or notices from the hospital.
"Yes, you follow makwo Rubiah. He's waiting for you there." Ando said as he patted Danu's shoulder.
"Now?" Ando nodded again.
"All right, I'm going to the hospital." Danu took her bag. He checked the phone he kept in his bag. Lots of calls from Lala.
Danu tried to call Lala back. It's not usual for his sister-in-law to call him this much. Did something happen at home? what happened to his wife. Danu also became agitated. He also chose not to go to the hospital. Better to go home than his mind is not calm.
From 6.5 Kilometres Road, Danu rerouted his route. He turned towards the road that pierced Panorama Market. The scorching sun was able to drop his sweat grains, but not with his spirit. Although the time has shown at 4 pm, but the air remains consistent.
Danu slightly slowed down the pace of her motorcycle as she entered a panoramic market area filled with merchants busy peddling their wares.
Eventually the journey stopped in front of the house. In a hurry he ran into his house. Knock on the door while saying hello.
The sound of the door movement seemed to welcome his return. Mila's smiling face though pale. Danu summarized his wife's face as anxiety.
"You're okay, honey." Mila shakes.
"I'm okay, Mom. How come you got home?"
"There actually ... " Danu felt no need to tell about him not obeying Makwo Rubiah's orders. For him right now Mila is the main one.
"What really?"
"I thought of you, baby. I don't know why I don't feel good. Especially when you see a lot of calls from Lala. That's why I came home"
"Oh that, Mas. Sorry Lala yes, Mas. You're not going to work because of Lala's phone."
"What's up, baby. If there wasn't a call from Lala, maybe I wouldn't have come home so soon."
Danu carried his wife to the room. Somehow there is a deep longing for the woman who is almost three months in marriage. I met you this morning. Danu put Mila on their bed. Her hand crept in between Mila's hair. Danu felt her gaze slightly shaded. He kept trying to be ordinary. Danu pulled Mila's chin gently. A little more has reached the favor of his wife's halal lips.
"Sister Mila ..." Lala poked out from behind the curtain cloth of the room door.
Mila and Danu broke away. Danu felt dizzy choosing to lay her body on the bed. While Mila approached Lala.
"Sorry, brother. I'm a nuisance instead" said Lala unwell.
"Why Lala?" tanya Danu is still a position to break down.
"Anu .. This .. Mila's sister almost fainted. I think Mila's sister is pregnant because she's vomiting. But said midwife Ratna kak Mila gastric acid."
"Why apologize, dear?"
"I'm not pregnant at all."
Danu heard what his wife said could only be legowo. He can't force God not to trust him. There is a great hope to have children soon.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I can't give you what you want."
Danu hugged Mila to calm his wife's heart. Slowly Mila and Danu let go of their embrace.
Dodging her husband's gaze. Fear of disappointment from her husband. Mila had hoped that nausea and vomiting were a sign that she was pregnant. Moreover, his body felt weak. Like running out of energy.
It turned out that it was not pregnant but that there was only a problem with her stomach.
"God wants us to do more, baby. God wants us to still have to explore each other let alone we will still be dating. Just like you and me. I'm okay if we're not in love now. Maybe next month or the next month. The next year is no problem. As long as you're not far from my side."
The voice of Adhan Maghrib. Danu who was dizzy at the end chose to go to the bathroom. Roll up his sleeves for ablution. So is Mila.
"Honey, we pray jamaah yuk. Take Lala to pray together. Last time we prayed was when Rohim's father was still here."
...***...
Rubiah has been waiting a long time in the hospital. The figure that was expected to come did not also reveal the trunk of his nose. Though he wanted to report that the results of DNA tests said Danu was positive for her biological child.
Where could he know that. Of course by taking the hair that was left on the man's shoulder. Some time ago Bia found Danu looking tired. The woman allowed Danu to take a short break.
Out of nowhere the urge where Bia stroked the hair of the young man in front of her. His instincts said there was something that made him feel close to Danu. A sign on the man's neck.
A few strands of hair were attached to Jemari Rubiah. It was like she had a clue to do a DNA test. If Danu is not his son, it's okay. The important thing is his curiosity about who Danu really is.
From his recklessness he now stands in the famous hospital of Bengkulu city. Rubiah is currently sitting in the waiting room. Holding a letter whose results will change everything.
"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim"
Bia read the results from the DNA test she submitted a few days ago. Every verse by verse went through slowly. Fear not to miss a word.
"Allahuacbar!" She was thankful on the hospital floor. Without caring about the strange gazes of the people around him.
His body shook violently. Even the paper he held fell to the floor like in the wind.
"Abdi my son, he's my son!"
