Married a Single Mother
MSM 6'S

Jelita has been absent from her job for three days. Of course because Ethan is still hospitalized. Luckily, Ethan's condition has improved. Just wait for the doctor's visit whether it is allowed to go home.

During her three days in the hospital, Jelita kept thinking about Ethan's medical expenses. So at that time he asked the doctor to let Ethan be given outpatient course rather than having hospitalization like this. In addition to his time to make him have time off work, other factors are financial problems.

The salary given by Bu Alin so far is quite a lot. But it will still run out if made to pay the cost of Ethan's hospital. Maybe after this he will work extra and if he can find additional work again in order to meet the needs of his life with Ethan.

“Bu Alin?” Jelita was surprised when suddenly the middle-aged woman who owned the cafe where she worked came.

“How is my grandson doing?” asked Bu Alin while glancing at Etah who was busy playing on the gurney.

“It's healthy, Mom. Stay waiting for a doctor visit soon.if the results of Ethan's health observations are nothing, maybe today also can go home.” replied Jelita.

Miss Alin's approaching Ethan. Kissing the cheek of the three-year-old boy, for Ms. Alin, Ethan was already considered like his own grandson. Because the woman also accompanied Jelita's pregnancy until Ethan was born into the world.

Ms. Alin who incidentally a childless widow is of course very happy since the presence of Jelita in her life. The woman who had long been left by her husband due to a tragic accident, again had a very large life expectancy when she met Jelita. Women are tough, strong, and patient.

Ms. Alin already considers Jelita like her own child, and Etahn like her granddaughter. The abundant wealth of Bu Alin did not make Jelita take advantage of the situation. Instead he chose to work in Bu Alin cafe and ask for the same payment as other employees. This is what makes Bu Alin love Jelita and Ethan.

Moments later a doctor arrives with a nurse to check on Ethan. Jelita is worried. I hope his son can go home today too.

“Than's sister wants to go home?” ask the doctor.

“Mau... Ethan wants jayan-jayan..” The boy replied with a very funny babble.

“Alright Mom, your child's condition is good. His body temperature was normal as well as his blood pressure. The infusion will soon be released. And you can complete his administration while at the same time redeem the cure.” Said the doctor.

“Alright, Doc. Thank you.”

After that the doctor came out of Ethan's room. While the nurse is still there because she will remove the infusion hose on Ethan's hand.

“Ya already, you accompany Ethan first, let Mom make up for the cure.” Ms. Alin said immediately.

“No Ma! Please don't be like this. Ethan is my responsibility. Ms. Alin stay here.” prevent Jelita and she just came out with her little bag.

Jelita walked towards the administration room with an erratic feeling. He remembers clearly how much the balance in his ATM card was enough money to pay for Ethan's treatment for three days. This hospital is an elite hospital in the city.

Jelita is currently in line with several people who also want to complete hospital administration. He was even willing to choose the last queue to avoid unwanted things.

Now comes the time for Jelita to face directly with the administrative officer. After mentioning the name of her son and the room Ethan occupied, Jelita was asked to wait for a moment.

Jelita swallowed his saliva rough when he heard the nominal mentioned by the adiminstration officer.it is clear that the ATM balance is not enough. But with confidence he gave the ATM to the officer.

“Sorry, Miss. Can I use another card? This money is not enough.” Said the officer.

“Take the hell, Ma'am? Try checking it again. The mites may be wrong.” Jelita said while turning her brain to find a way.

A little upset, the officer again swiped Jelita's ATM card and Jelita pressed a few pins. And the result remains the same. The money is not enough.

“Pay cash only, Bu the rest. Because the contents of your ATM are not enough.” The officer's words made Jelita even more sad. Cash only he has none. During his three days in the hospital he ate only twice a day. Because it's not payday yet. Then how is this.

“Pay use this only, Ma'am!” said someone who suddenly appeared beside Jelita by thrusting an ATM card and given to the administrative officer.

“This, Mr. card. And here's the prescription. Stay taken at the pharmacy next to.” Said the officer with a polite smile staring towards Raffael.

Jelita was still silent. He could breathe a sigh of relief because there was a helper god who suddenly came. But unfortunately why should Raffael? The man who had made him upset because of the pretentious to join the kitchen with his life.

“When did you stand there? Here's the recipe, quickly grab the cure!” Tell Raffael by giving Jelita a prescription.

Jelita was silent, but her hand received the recipe given by Raffael. It did not take long, Jelita had brought several packs of drugs from the pharmacy to drink Ethan later.

Now Jelita is confused what to say to Raffael. The man who had suddenly appeared and had also been nearby.

“Thank you, Sir. I promise I will refund you as soon as.” Jelita said without any sense of prestige anymore and threw away the annoyance that had existed.

“I don't expect that money you return.” Answer Raffael.

“Mean, Mister?” Jelita was clearly confused. He was afraid that help from Raffael would make him take advantage of the man.

“Enough you work with me, then your debt is paid off.” Raffael answered Jelita's heartbreak.

“Sorry, Sir. I can't. I'm already at home working at Alin’s Cafe. I'll keep paying that debt. Give me time.”

“Who said you should get out of Alin’s Cafe? Instead I will work with Alin’s Cafe. So every lunch hour, you have to deliver an order of some cakes from Alin’s Cafe ‘n Cake. Or for a certain event, I'll order a cake there. And you are the one who is obliged to take him. I don't accept rejection. And I consider this to be our deal. Deal?” raffael said, extending his hand to Jelita.

With doubt Jelita received Raffael's hand. The man who a moment ago had already become his helper god.

“Deal.” Jelita.
