My employer, my husband
Adnan Paralyzed

"How's he doing, Doc?!" arumi asked Doctor Fahri who welcomed her arrival in the Hospital lobby.

"I'm sorry, but I still don't know how things are going right now."

Fahri's doctor immediately leads Arumi to the room where Adnan is being treated. With half a run, Arumi follows Doctor Fahri's footsteps.

"Tante Mira is waiting there" said Doctor Fahri as he continued to move his legs.

"really? Thank goodness Aunt Mira has arrived. I feel sorry for Mas Adnan, he has no one else but Aunt Mira" said Arumi.

Upon arrival in front of Adnan's room, Aunt Mira rushed to Arumi who had just arrived at the place. Aunt Mira stretched out her hands and hugged Arumi's body while sobbing.

"Arumi ..," said Aunt Mira.

Arumi stroked Aunt Rahma's back and then invited the middle-aged woman back to sit in the waiting chair.

"Arumi, forgive all Adnan's mistakes" said Aunt Mira as she gently stroked Arumi's face.

Arumi was silent for a moment while watching the sad face of Aunt Mira. "Tante, without being asked Arumi still forgives all Mas Adnan's mistakes. But, ...." Arumi was silent again.

"But why, honey?!" aunty Mira asked with teary eyes looking at Arumi.

"Arumi is afraid Mas Adnan just pity Arumi, Auntie. Arumi does not want to return with Mas Adnan if indeed Mas Adnan's heart is not for Arumi," said Arumi.

Aunt Mira exhaled a heavy breath while smiling wryly looking at Arumi. "Dear Arumi, according to Aunty, Adnan has indeed started to open his heart to you. The proof, Adnan willingly left his job just to meet you. Even that he does every day," said Aunt Mira.

Suddenly a scream came from inside the room. "Akhh!!!"

Arumi and Aunt Mira rush into the room without being ordered by the doctor who is checking Adnan's condition.

"What's wrong with you, son?!"

Aunt Mira immediately approached Adnan and hugged her body tightly. "Tante, I can't feel my legs. I'm scared, Auntie! I don't want to be paralyzed!" adnan said while crying hysterically.

"What happened to my husband, Doc? He's fine, isn't he?!" arumi asked with an anxious face looking at the Doctor who handled Adnan.

The doctor exhaled heavily then looked at Arumi with a sad look. "Mr Adnan suffered serious injuries to both of his legs which resulted in paralysis. However, we still can not confirm whether Mr. Adnan only experienced temporary paralysis or permanent paralysis" said the doctor.

Arumi turned around then looked at Adnan who was still sobbing in the arms of Aunt Mira. He was completely shocked after hearing the words from the Doctor.

"Mas Adnan ..," said Arumi.

"Mas, don't say that,"

Adnan wiped his tears and looked closely at Arumi and Doctor Fahri who had just entered the room.

"Maybe it's time for you to be happy, Arumi. I'll take care of our divorce papers immediately, and then be happy. I pray that you will be happy until death do you part" Adnan said

Arumi knitted her eyebrows together, she did not understand what her husband said. "Mas Adnan's. Why are you talking like that?" ask Arumi.

Doctor Fahri shook his head, he had expected this before. What he was worried about turned out to be really happening, Adnan had misunderstood him.

"Aren't you planning your wedding?! And today I bless your relationship and soon I will take care of our divorce papers." continued Adnan.

Dr. Fahri is unable to stop himself from interfering. However, as his name was dragged along, he began to open his voice.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Adnan. It seems you misunderstood. Between us there is no relationship. Our relationship is only limited to Doctors and Patients. That's it, nothing more! And I don't know where you get information about my marriage. Yes, I am getting married soon, but not Miss Arumi. I'm getting married to the woman of my choice, Doctor Lisa. The doctor who used to deal with Arumi before me" said Doctor Fahri while holding his regret to Adnan who had accused him.

"Really?! So you're not getting married?!" ask Adnan stammering.

Arumi and Doctor Fahri shook their heads together. Adnan had a smile, but only for a second. After that his face returned to gloom.

"But, .. I'm disabled. I'll just be a burden to you, Arumi." Adnan lowered his head.

"Adnan, we'll do anything for your recovery. Even if we need to, we'll go abroad for treatment!" said Aunt Mira while trying to calm her nephew.

Arumi approached Adnan and sat down next to him. "Mas, Arumi is still Mas Adnan's wife, right?!" arumi asked with a warm smile looking at Adnan.

Adnan nodded his head quickly. "Yes, Arumi. You are still my wife" Adnan replied

Arumi clasped Adnan's hand and said, "Arumi is willing to return to Mas Adnan to treat Mas until it is completely healed" said Arumi.

Adnan couldn't help his feelings. He cried as he grabbed Arumi's body and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Arumi!"

"Now you realize, right Adnan?! Arumi really loves you without expecting anything from you. At a time like this, she was even willing to choose you over me as her mother! But unfortunately the eyes of your heart have been blinded by love to the point of not being able to see the sincerity that Arumi gave you,"

Suddenly Madam Rahma appeared from behind the door with teary eyes.

"I'm sorry, ma'am." said Adnan.
