Loving Husband Interlude
56. Mala Heart

Azam came out of the cafe, he still ignored the phone call from his wife Mala. He's been in his car somewhere, ever since he went to the boarding school where Arsyil and Najwa had a lively reception. Azam's mind became angry and upset.

Why Arsyil was introduced by Najwa in the pesantren foundation, while he was not done like that. There was Azam's disappointment and anger in Najwa's brother.

"Did you not accept me well? Is it because my mom and dad like them?" said Azam considering the time of his marriage was held not in the pesantren, but indeed in the title at the hotel.

"Well, maybe it was my mom and dad who asked for it at the hotel. But still I'm disappointed. Why Arsyil got it all." Azam said again.

Along the way Azam recalled all the events and compared his marriage to Najwa and Arsyil.

Azam's phone vibrated again, he just made the phone ring turned off. Lazily, Azam picked up the phone from Mala.

"Hello?"

"Mas Azam, this is bi Darsih. I was taken to the hospital, the auntie mas Azam was not picked up either" said bi Darsih.

"Why Mala?" ask Azam.

"Mother almost miscarried, bleeding. So the aunt took him to the hospital, waiting for Azam long time really pick up the phone. So auntie take it straight to the hospital." replied bi Dasrih again.

"So much still in the hospital? In which hospital?" ask Azam again.

"Hospital Happy Son, mas."

"How's Mala doing?" ask Azam.

"Had been handled by the doctor, thank God the fetus survived. But you have to rest a lot and not be tired" said bi Darsih.

"Yes, I'm there now" said Azam.

"Yes, Azam."

Azam turned his car back to Bahagia Putra hospital where Mala was treated there. He was thinking whether because Mala was doing a lot of work at home, until she had to bleed.

Five days Mala was treated in the hospital to restore energy and also the womb. While in the hospital, Mala's supervision is closely guarded.

Azam wanted to talk to his wife, but he was not brave because Mala's situation had not improved. Now Mala can get out of bed, even though the content has returned to normal. But Mala can't have much of a thought.

"Have you gone?" ask Azam.

"Yes, my body is back to normal. Thank God, my womb was saved and well." replied Mala.

"Doctor say what's the same to you?" ask Azam.

"It's not much, it just shouldn't be a lot of thinking and working too tired" Mala replied.

"Why did you do that? Said bi Darsih you always just clean the house, sometimes you also mop the floor. Don't you love your womb?" ask Azam.

"I'm sorry, I won't repeat myself!" replied Mala, looking down.

"sorry. If this is how you say sorry, take care of your content. If he does anything else, I won't forgive you" Azam said.

Even though he was silent, he still looked down deeply. His heart ached, he was not able to get support or sympathy from Azam. Precisely reprimanded and angry, his eyes glazed. But then on the gap so as not to fall.

"I didn't scold you, but I reminded you. To be more careful, do not do anything careless anymore" said Azam again.

"Yes." Yeah."

Both of them were silent, Mala was still holding her belly that was beginning to distend. The age of the womb has entered the second trimester, but because it moves too much. So Mala was bleeding, probably because her mind was running too.

"Mas Azam ate first, aunt brought a lot of food" said bi Darsih.

"Don't do it, I have to go to the office again" Azam said.

"But aunty cooks a lot, maybe Azam would eat here as well as mother" said bi Darsih again.

"Bi Darsih alone who accompany Mala, in the office again a lot of work. I'm leaving first" Azam said, taking his bag and leaving bi Darsih and Mala in the room.

"Tomorrow I can go home" Mala told her husband.

"Yes, I'll pick you up tomorrow" Azam said.

He then walked out of his room after saying that to Mala. Even if he was silent, he took a deep breath. Then laying his body on the ward, his eyes stared at the ceiling of that hospital room.

Bi Darsih noticed what Mala was doing, he approached and sat down beside her.

"What did Azam say, ma'am?" ask bi Darsih.

"He just said he had to keep my womb bi." replied Mala.

"Did Azam also see a doctor?" ask bi Darsih again.

"Yesterday the doctor said the same mas Azam. But I don't know what the doctor said to Azam, he didn't talk to me" Mala said.

His eyes closed, breathing heavily. Remember Azam's words, he felt Azam was not sympathy for him, or pity. But instead scolded her, really her husband had not accepted her pregnant. Azam felt that her pregnancy was a barrier to her marrying Najwa.

"Bi Darsih, does Azam still wish to marry Najwa's mother?" ask Mala.

"Auntie doesn't know ma'am, only Azam's mas feels it. Why do you ask that?" ask bi Darsih wonder.

"I guess, if I'm not pregnant. Maybe Azam's gonna marry Najwa's mom, right?" ask Mala.

"Who can't be ma'am, but Najwa already has a husband. Yesterday the day after that in the leapren foundation there was a wedding reception mbak Najwa and her husband, so according to aunt mas Azam could not remarry with mbak Najwa" said bi Darsih.

"But Azam's attitude is still the same as the old one, still cold to me" Mala said again.

"Don't despair ma'am, later after the child is born. Mas Azam paati will be happy, which in need mas Azam is a child who will distract his heart from the mbak Najwa" said bi Darsih.

"Auntie knows a lot about Azam's heart, yes, I even tried to understand Azam's mas in the slightest can not. Even I tried to divert my sadness by doing homework, Azam still scolded me" Mala said.

"But it will harm the mother's womb. Mas Azam must have been angry that I didn't follow his words."

"True bi, just now I threatened me. If I lose my baby, I'm not sorry for it anymore" Mala said.

"The mother must obey, do not do heavy work. Try to love the life of the baby in the mother's stomach, ignore it first mas Azam. You need to focus on your pregnancy. Is not still waiting four months more, the baby mother will be born. Surely mas Azam will turn to love mother and daughter mother" said bi Darsih again advising Mala.

"Yes bi, I'll do that. Trying not to hope for Azam's love for me, I'm the one who is too much expecting Azam's love. Being thankful for this pregnancy is good. I was wrong, bi." Mala said in tears.

"Already mom, I just keep praying that Azam mas will also love mother. Bibi is sure of that, it's just that maybe Azam is still obsessed with Najwa's mother. Patient mother." said bi Darsih.

"Yes bi. I know." said Mala smoothing her tears.

He'll do what bi Darsih says, even if it's a maid. But her heart was sensitive to her and Azam her husband, like a mother to her sad child. Mala smiled at bi Darsih. So is bi Darsih.
