TMS EPS 25: UNEXPECTED EVENTS

"Sister Erika wants to talk alone with Syma" said Nora, looking cold. He was reluctant to even look at Syma.

Ersad clasped Syma's hand tightly before taking it off. Letting the woman talk to Erika from a heart of heart. As a fellow woman. Syma nodded slowly with a faint smile on her face. Then enter Erika's room.

"Assalamu'alaikum,"

Erika looked at the sound. His hand gave a gesture for Syma to get closer to him.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. So you're Syma?" erika asked so gently.

"Certainly,"

Erika stared at the face that once spoke softly to her when she was in a coma. At that time, his eyes might have been closed. But he could hear every word around him.

"I just want to tell you, never leave Mas Ersad."

That left Syma confused.

"Why? haven't you improved. The relationship between us is only a deal. Don't make me feel like I've become the destroyer of your household" Syma interjected.

"Mas Ersad needs you, Syma. Because I'm gonna... "

"What's wrong with you?" asked the panicked Syma seeing Erika having trouble breathing. He seemed to be in pain holding tightness in his chest. Syma was confused as to what to do.

The sound of alarms was a sign of danger that made Ersad and Nora suddenly open the door and see Erika in pain, until she finally closed her eyes.

Syma who was still confused by what happened just froze in her place.

"SILLY......

WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BROTHER!!" nora shouted towards Erika but her sharp gaze was fixed on Syma.

"Syma what happened?" Asked Ersad who was also no less panicked.

Some medical staff also arrived. And immediately checked Erika's situation.

"I'm sorry you have to wait outside first" said one of the doctors who handled it.

They finally came out with a chaotic feeling. Syma is still confused.

Nora approached him with anger already in the crown.

"TELL ME WHAT YOU DID TO ERIKA'S SISTER! ANSWER IT... " Nora gripped both of Syma's shoulders and shook her strongly.

Ersad immediately came to break them up.

"STOP NORA, TAKE CARE OF YOUR ATTITUDE. IT'S A HOSPITAL!" Ersad yelled at Nora loudly.

"Why did you defend him? Obviously, Erika was fine. And after he came, everything was like this. He must have done something. Fucking demon woman... " Maki Nora looked at him hatefully.

"I don't know... I really don't know anything.

I was confused as to why Erika could be like that" Syma said, opening her voice. Anxiety was still evident on his face.

Ersad had not yet responded to him, suddenly the Doctor had come out from there. They approached to wait for the doctor's explanation.

"How's my wife doing, Doc?"

"Sorry Mister. We've been trying our best. But Madame Erika can't save us anymore." The doctor was sorry.

"I'm sorry for our negligence, ma'am, but it looks like someone deliberately changed her Ventilator setting so that Lady Erika had trouble breathing."

They were all surprised to hear it. Nora's eyes were fixed on Syma. The woman immediately pushed Syma back.

"FUCKING WOMAN... WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BROTHER? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? WHY DID YOU KILL HIM?" Nora was hysterical. He could not take Erika's death for granted.

Ersad himself was silent in his place. Confused what he should do now.

"What have you done, Syma? Answer honestly," said Ersad so slowly. But anyone could clearly see the anger mixed with disappointment in his eyes.

"Trust me, Mommy. I didn't do anything. By Allah, I don't know what really happened. "were Syma trying to explain. Syma looked terrified, and it was her fear that made Nora even more intensely pressured her into confessing.

"Liar ! Maybe you still want to avoid. It is clear that all the evidence is on you. You're the female devil hiding behind your hijab.

You better take off your hijab. Aren't you a little embarrassed, huh! You took someone's husband, you killed him. My brother wants to accept you. But what are you doing? You killed him... You're evil, you hypocritical woman!" Maki Nora who is not satisfied.

Syma doesn't care about that. What made her heart ache at this moment was, when she saw that her husband also doubted her. Ersad also felt that Syma was the culprit.

"How can you say you don't know anything, while inside there were only the two of you. And Erika was fine before.

Why are you doing this Syma... I thought you were different...

I thought you were a good woman. But why did you kill him... Though you know I love him very much" Ersad looked at him in disappointment.

Sometimes the man pulls his hair. His look was empty.

"You don't believe me, Mommy? Tell me on what basis did I kill him? What's the reason I killed him, Mas!" said Syma who began to be upset, over all the allegations.

"Of course it's because you want to have me completely. You're so greedy. My biggest mistake, ever knowing you. Even foolishly I made you my mistress.

And now I'm sorry. I regret the stupidity I did. You've ruined everything, Syma. You've ruined my happiness."

Syma. Her tears just flow. So much pain he felt, when again had to feel this vile slander. It felt so painful that his chest felt tight. His throat felt choked, as if there was a pebble stuck there.

Syma disappointed. Disappointed in fact again the person he loved did not believe him. 'Do I really not deserve to be trusted' her inner self.

"Now Brother has just come to his senses and seen for himself who this woman really is.

I'm not willing, Brother Erika just died. He has to pay for everything. I'll report this to the authorities. This woman should be arrested for murder" Nora said immediately after the incident.

Syma herself did not seem worried about Nora's words. Because he feels innocent. So it's up to him to do.

All she thought about was her husband.

Syma again had to swallow the bitter disappointment. He was disappointed that no one believed him. Even today, he was too lazy to prove his innocence.

"If you don't believe. I can what...

I don't know what to do. I was too tired to defend myself.

I don't care if a thousand people in this world hate me or don't trust me. But....

Just not my husband." Syma spoke softly with tears that had washed her face.

Ersad was silent. He didn't even care about Syma's sober sobs. His mind is too empty. His body feels weak. His subconscious still could not accept Erika's departure.

Because all of this felt so fast for him to understand.
