Two weeks later...
Ega's health condition gradually recovered, now the cast in his hand was removed, but because the injury made Ega still silent at home. Now he has officially become unemployed after resigning from the hospital owned by Mr. Hendarwan.
Although it is very boring because you have to stay indoors, but because his high ego makes the man inevitably have to endure until his hand can hold the scalpel again and can find a new job.
Like this morning, Ega woke up so early and decided to make breakfast. Ega kissed his wife's forehead at a glance, then with a careful step he came out of the room and went down into the kitchen.
Upon arrival in the kitchen, the first thing Ega did was to train his injured left hand. Armed with a kitchen knife and a whole chicken, Ega considers the kitchen as an operating room. Ega grabbed the kitchen knife with his left hand, trying as hard as possible to grasp the handle of the knife. After successfully holding the knife, Ega began to split the chicken breast.
"Splitting the chicken breast, my hand is still shaking like this, how about I dissect the human body," said Ega sadly, despite successfully splitting the chicken breast, but in fact he has not been able to return to the operating table, his hands are not okay.
In the midst of his despair, suddenly two hands coiled around his stomach, someone hugged him from behind. "Everything takes time. Believe me, my great husband will definitely return to be the greatest surgeon in the world" said one man who is none other than his own wife, Indhi.
Ega let out a heavy sigh, the man slightly shifted his legs in order to wash his hands. After his hands were clean, he let go of his wife's embrace and turned around so that they were now facing each other.
"It's been a week of training but the results remain the same. What if I can't go back to the operating room?" ega complains in despair.
Indhi grabbed her husband's left hand, then kissed the hand several times, then looked softly at the man who now had a sad face. "Think about what's good. Brother will definitely recover and will return to being a surgeon. After all, it's only been a week, be patient brother," said Indhi to calm her husband.
"Honey, the more days your stomach will get bigger. If I don't recover quickly, then what about our daily living expenses. How can I pay for your delivery later, while my savings are running low," Ega finally expressed his concern, as a head of the family would be a heavy burden when he could not support his family.
"Look at me" Indhi cupped Ega's face so that the man would look at her. "I also work, my salary is still enough to support all of us, my savings are also still enough for my future delivery. Brother need not worry too much, I believe and am very sure if brother will be cured even before our baby is born."
"Pardon your husband dear, and thank you for always supporting me" Ega said with a sad look.
Indhi then pulled Ega's body and hugged him, the man hid his face in the niche of the wife's neck, his burly hands coiled on Indhi's body which began to contain.
"Sister must not despair. If you can't go back to the hospital, you can use your knowledge to equip the younger generation who will continue your struggle as a doctor."
Ega unraveled his embrace, in his eyes the wife with affection. "It doesn't seem bad your idea, baby. I forgot I could be an educator. But what if there is a young student who teases me," said Ega intends to tease his wife.
"Then be unemployed forever," cried Indhi who suddenly felt annoyed, imagining her handsome husband in pursuit by beautiful and young students really make Indhi annoyed.
Ega chuckled as he pinched his wife's throbbing lips. "I'm just kidding, baby. There is only you, and forever only you will have this heart," Ega then hugged his wife again, he felt a little guilty for upsetting Indhi. "Oh yeah, what time do we go to Arum's new house?" ega asked still hugging his wife.
"Six o'clock in the afternoon" replied Indhi cuek, apparently she was still upset with her husband.
"Well, you better get some more sleep. I'm cooking for breakfast."
"I'm no longer sleepy, I want to nemenin sister cook."
"Well, if that's what you want, baby."
***
Six o'clock and fifteen minutes later, Ega and Indhi are on their way to Arum and Dion's new home, the two couples decide to live independently in their new home and plan today they invite their relatives and friends to dinner in their new home.
About half an hour finally Ega and Indhi arrived at their friend's new residence, Indhi parked his car in front of a modern minimalist two-story house, a house that is not too big but looks luxurious. The two men entered the house and were immediately welcomed by the owner.
"Hay Ndi, finally arrived," greeted Arum while embracing Indhi.
"Because this house is closest to our workplace," said Dion who came from the kitchen with two glasses of orange juice. "How are you guys?" ask Dion later.
"I'm good brother," Indhi replied after letting go of her embrace.
"I'm good too. It's just that I'm an angry man now" said Ega, with a bland smile on his face.
"Has brother's hand not healed yet?" ask Arum curious.
"It's better. But I haven't been able to get back to the operating table yet" Ega answered him and moved his left hand.
"So, please, brother is on leave. Since the old brother was too workholic, "Dion chimed in while patting Ega's shoulder.
"Truely said Brother Dion, maybe God wants you to rest and accompany Tika at home," said Arum supports the words of all.
In the midst of their chatter, the door of the house opened again, to the four people inside the house welcoming the arrival of Dita and her husband, it was just that Ega's facial expression changed upon seeing the arrival of Doctor Aditya.
"Arum, Indhi, I miss you so much" said Dita with the face of sumringah, the three women then hugged.
Doctor Aditya pulls his wife's body too excited when he meets his friends. "Be careful, our baby can get hurt" said Dr. Aditya possessive.
"Infant?" reload Arum while staring at Dita.
Dita smiled with a glowing face. "I'm pregnant" she said, answering Arum's curiosity.
Arum and Indhi smothered his mouth, the two women were also happy to hear the good news from his best friend.
"Rightly, how many months has it been?" indhi asked while hugging Dita, but this time he hugged her carefully because Doctor Aditya looked at her sharply.
"Eight weeks."
"Congratulations Dit," now it's Arum's turn to hug Dita after Indhi releases his embrace.
The three women look very happy, but the awkwardness is so noticeable between Ega and Doctor Aditya, even Dion to the point of confusion must behave.
"How are you doing Vin?" ask Doctor Aditya after a long silence.
"Well, what about you?" answer Ega with a flat face.
"I'm good too. What about your hand?"
"It's much better."
"Are you sure you don't want to go back to the hospital?"
Doctor Aditya's question suddenly made Ega look at his best friend sharply.
"No!" firmly Ega without thinking long.
SERIATE...
