Slowly she said to her husband, “I want to take a shower first, Sam. So that it is fresher and not lackluster like this. You order food in the app. Keep eating. Fear in the hospital will wait for a long queue of doctors. At least if at home have eaten a little, not too hungry there later.”
Samuel nodded. He then replied lightly, “I bought you chicken porridge, Leen. Eat a little too. So as not to starve in the hospital.”
The wife agreed. Ok if you eat a little porridge. Swallow a little to just fill the stomach, he thought optimistically.
Samuel then left the room. Aileen herself was getting ready to take a shower. Her husband went down to the first floor to order food through an online application while waiting for the order to come.
Not long after that the long awaited arrived. An online driver came to deliver a serving of Malaysian fried noodles and pit chicken porridge. The host received a canteen containing two types of food while thanking him. After that, he went into the house.
Put the bag on the dining table. Then Samuel washed his hands in the sink. Then he took a bowl from a cupboard containing eating utensils, which were located in front of the dining table.
When he served the two menus on the dining table, the sound of Aileen's footsteps came down the stairs. Samuel greeted his wife.
“Chicken porridge for you has come, Leen. I put it in the bowl, huh?”
Aileen nodded while saying her thanks. He walked closer to the dining table. His saliva swelled at a bowl of chicken porridge plus pieces of his favorite black egg.
“Come quickly eaten,” invite Samuel friendly. “Cold rush later.”
“You yourself order what, Sam?” ask the wife to know.
“This,” answered her husband while opening a square-shaped white cardboard box. “Mie fried Malaysia. I want to eat spicy again. Hehehe...”.
“Not put on a plate?”
“Neventless. Repot the washing later. If the gini right, abis eat immediately throw away. If your porridge was put in a plastic cup. It's not good to eat there. That's why I moved to the bowl.”
Aileen smiled. He was overwhelmed by this man's attention. Had James given him half the attention Sam gave him, he would have been so happy. But her boyfriend was somewhere now. It was as if deliberately avoiding him because he was still disappointed by the arrival of Tina the other day while they were making out.
“Yuhuu…. Dreaming of what, Leen? If you don't eat now, hunt for a new night until the hospital, you know. Look, it's almost six o'clock in the afternoon.”
“Oh, yes, yes. Sori, sori. I eat, now.”
His wife's nervousness made Samuel even more worried. Maybe Aileen is sick because her feelings are not good, she thought guessing. Is he having problems with his girlfriend?
He saw the woman blowing a slow porridge on her tablespoon. Then the half-solid, half-liquid white food is put in the mouth. It appeared that Aileen closed her eyes while chewing and swallowing the porridge. His expression showed how much he enjoyed the food.
“Hmm..it's so delicious this porridge, Sam,” praise is as sincere as heart.
The husband was happy to see his wife liked the porridge she bought. “Thank God you like it, Leen. It was eaten too. You will like that black egg,” he said excitedly.
“Thanks yes, Sam. You know, remember I like to eat porridge with bitan.”
“Mie fried your Malaysia looks good too, Sam. Really spicy?”
“Not too spicy. Wanna try? It.”
Samuel spontaneously advanced his spoon containing Malaysian fried noodles in front of Aileen's mouth. His wife was surprised. The man soon woke up. Geez! it's in the heart. When I fed Aileen with my old tablespoon? Where would he want to be?
And it's true. His wife refused softly. “Do not, Sam. I am, again sick. You will later hit.”
“Oh, if so for a moment, Leen,” replied the man quickly responded.
He took clean plates and spoons. Then set aside a little fried noodles that he has not touched. It was placed on that plate.
“You ate this one. It's still clean, though. I haven't touched. So we're both safe. Hehehe...” he said as he put the plate right in front of his wife's porridge bowl.
Aileen looked at her husband with a smile. Samuel's heart was falling out seeing it. He wanted to hold the woman in his arms. Unfortunately Aileen would definitely punch him if it was really done.
“You're so good, Sam. Thank you,” said the woman was sincere.
He then tasted the fried noodles. “Enak,” praise it earnestly. “The sword is fitting.”
“You added?” samuel asked.
The woman in front of him shook her head. “I have not dared to eat spicy much. Fear of vomiting later. This is enough, Sam.”
The man nodded. Furthermore, the couple enjoying their respective food. They don't talk much. After eating, cleaning the table, and washing the tableware, the two men left together to the hospital to check on Aileen's health condition.
***
The digital clock in Samuel's car was already showing at half-ten p.m. The man and his wife were on their way home. They checked with a general practitioner at the hospital.
The doctor was suspicious of the jubilant symptoms, nausea, and vomiting experienced by Aileen. Then he asked her about her schedule. Samuel's wife was given two pregnancy tests to check in the toilet. A nurse accompanied him. Samuel was asked to wait in the doctor's office.
The man's chest was pounding waiting for the reappearance of the wife. Is Aileen really pregnant? ask in the heart. If yes…. Ah, who else if not James his real father!
A few minutes later the man saw his wife back with the nurse. Aileen's face looked pale. Eyes glazed. Samuel's heart rippled to see it.
“Congratulations, Ms. Aileen,” said the doctor as soon as he checked the test results of the patient. “You are positive pregnant. Two different test packs of this brand prove it. But if you want to know more details, I recommend to check with an obstetrician. What if I refer to my colleague right now? It seems he is in practice at the moment. Absolutely not, Sus?”
The nurse nodded. The woman then mentioned two obstetricians who happened to be in practice now at the hospital.
Samuel was silent for a moment. His wife is really pregnant. The man's feelings were mixed. The shadow of James' handsome face was in his mind. The flames of jealousy burned his chest. He recalled how much Aileen's lover seemed to be beaming when he was given an access card to the hotel room on the night of his bride. And it looks like James had repeatedly fucked his wife while he was busy working in the office!
