My husband's first love
13. Let me take care of you

"Oh young master.. Good afternoon young master!" Sapa the doctor.

"The condition of the patient named Shafa Adzania has passed the critical period of master but has not been aware, now transferred to room VVIP number 10," replied the doctor.

"Would he wake up as soon as possible, Doc? Was the wound so serious that he wasn't conscious?"

"Young master calm down, he will soon realize just waiting for his condition to stabilize, and the wound is severe but we the team of doctors has tried their best to heal the patient,"

Barrack was frustrated and rubbed his face violently, he was sorry because of his foolish actions Shafa experienced all this.

"alright.. Thanks for your information doc, I'm sorry to see Shafa first" said Barrack.

"Together young master, please young master." replied the doctor politely.

Then Barrack entered Shafa's nursery, seen there was Bu Farida beside his daughter with puffy eyes.

"Mother." said Barrack.

"Son Barrack.. How's your condition, son? Is it better?" asked Ms. Farida anxiously.

"I've had better ma'am, I'm sorry ma'am for saving me Shafa like this" Barrack said in a regretful tone.

"It's okay, son, it's the duty of husband and wife to protect each other, hopefully with this incident Barrack is not drunk anymore,"

"Well ma'am, I promise I won't get drunk again and not do anything reckless anymore" Barrack bowed in lethargy.

Ms. Farida patted Barrack's shoulder and said, "Mom trust you son, sit here and accompany your wife, I'm going to the cafeteria for a bit."

"Good ma'am.. "

Then Farida left Barrack in Shafa's room. Barrack held Shafa's hand gently, there was a strange feeling in Barrack's heart.

"Shafa wake up, I'm here to take care of you, I promise that if you realize later, I'll be nice to you,"

"Shafa, I'm sorry I made you this way,"

"Shafa, I'm sorry for my attitude, can we be friends now?"

Barrack was still blabbering beside Shafa who was still unconscious. Then Barrack fell asleep beside Shafa's bed still holding his hand.

When Ms. Farida came back, she smiled at the sweet sight, Ms. Farida did not wake Barrack, she laid her body on the sofa.

***

As the afternoon approached, Shafa began to show signs he would be conscious, trying to move his hand and trying to open his eyes.

"eeehhmmm.. Ib.. Ibu.. " Sha started calling her mother.

"Shafa, Mum's Thirst,"

Barrack was shocked to hear a faint groan and felt his hands clasped.

"Broman! Are you conscious? Shaphas.. It's me Barrack" said Barrack, calling Shafa.

"I'm thirsty, give me some water!" Shafa began to open his eyes slowly, he still did not realize that beside him was Barrack.

"Well wait a minute, I'll get it" Barrack said as he pressed a button to call the doctor.

Then Barrack rushed to get a drink for Shafa and directed him to Shafa's mouth. After finishing, Shafa began to realize who he saw in front of his eyes. There was a sense of disbelief as to how Barrack might look after her.

"Barrack!" Shafa said in a limp tone.

"Well, it's me, the doctor's coming soon,"

"Which book?"

"Mother fell asleep on the couch, maybe all night she didn't sleep to take care of you" Barrack said gently.

"That's so damn mom, she must be so tired,"

Then the team of doctors came and examined Shafa's condition, then Bu Farida woke up because of the sudden noise. Ms. Farida was relieved and smiled to see her daughter was awake and examined by a team of doctors.

"Young master, Miss Farida.. Miss condition is better and stable, it only takes 3 more days to recover and the lady can go home,"

"Thank you doctor" Barrack and Ms Farida said.

Then the Doctor and his Team left Shafa's room. Farida came to Shafa with a happy smile, and kissed his daughter's face and hands with affection.

"Alhamdulillah you finally realized dear, which part is still sick son?" asked Bu Farida while researching Shafa's entire body.

"It's not too mother, later also no longer sick, mother do not worry, mother must be tired all night looking after Shafa," replied Shafa full of days.

"It's okay, baby,"

"Eidmm.. " Barrack cleared his throat, he felt neglected by his wife and mother-in-law.

"Oh sorry son Barrack, mom is so happy to forget son Barrack is still here," said Bu Farida felt bad.

"It's okay, ma'am, I understand, you shouldn't go home and get some rest and change, let me take care of Shafa" Barrack said, leaving Shafa a little surprised.

"But Barrack's son is still sick, must rest a lot, so Zain will come here to bring mother clothes,"

"I'm cured mom, I want to take care of my wife for a while, later if mom returns I'll also go back to the room,"

"Okay son, I'm going home for a minute! Later mom returns," said Bu Farida to Barrack and Shafa.

Then Shafa and Barrack nodded. Shafa could not think why suddenly Barrack was being sweet and wanted to take care of him.

"Ah.. Yes Barra!"

"How are you doing? Is anyone sick? which side hurts, what can I help you with?" suddenly Barrack leaned the question in a worried tone.

"Ti.. No. gabe.. I'm fine Barrack, you don't worry that a wound like this will soon recover" said Shafa, who did not expect Barrack to suddenly notice.

"I'm sorry Shafa, because of me you're like this, me.. "

"What?" Shafa looked at Barrack questioningly and still did not understand what Barrack was saying.

"I'm so sorry for my carelessness that you have to face those thugs alone, thank you for helping me, I owe you my life,"

"I'm sorry Shafa, I promise to be nice to you in the future" Barrack said regretfully.

"Ja.. So then.. The drunk man I helped yesterday was you?" Shafa still doesn't believe it. As she remembered her husband was going to meet his lover how could he suddenly get drunk and gang-raped by many thugs.

"I was in trouble then I went to the club to get drunk I didn't realize I was making a big deal" Barrack said, rubbing his face violently.

"I knew you were going to meet your boyfriend, did you guys have a fight?" shafa said probing.

"Huh? How do you know? Did you hear my conversation with him on the phone? "

"Yes, I guess you guys are no longer in touch but it turns out you guys are still intensely meeting" said Shafa flatly.

"Ah.. That's.. Please don't tell my papa Shafa, I can't easily love another woman, I'm sorry, I.."

"Not to be explained! I see, it's not easy for you to accept this marriage, Barra. Moreover, your relationship has been a long time, I did not tell you to accept me. I know who I am, we are like the earth and the sky" Shafa said.

He feels pain in his heart, Barrack blatantly always rejects him and still in touch with his lover.

Barrack just fell silent listlessly hearing Shafa's words he knew his attitude was always outrageous to Shafa, he tangent to choose the right words for Shafa at this time, Shafa, because he no longer wanted to hurt Shafa with his scathing words

"You don't have to feel guilty, later when I've improved, I'll talk carefully with papa so that we can separate," Shafa said without hesitation.

"What's splitting? " Barrack was shocked to hear the parting words, either out of fear that his father was angry or that he felt guilty for Shafa.

"No Shafa, for now we can't separate, we just go like this,"

"Why? Isn't this what you want, Barra?"

"No Shafa, it's not discussed first this problem, after all you also just realized, you must be healthy and recover again, so you can go to college again,"

Then Shafa nodded, he could no longer refute Barrack's remarks, at the moment he just wanted to quickly recover and quickly finish his lecture.

"Sheba.. "

"Yes.. " Shafa answered staring at Barrack.

"Can we be friends from now on? I know since High School my attitude was bad for you, I was too arrogant and arrogant with other people. Let's be friends from the beginning, whatever you feel and experience you can tell me, consider me your best friend" Barrack said expectantly.

Suddenly Shafa's heart warms up, though,

although only considered to be friends Shafa is very happy.

He had not expected the arrogant and cold man to have now started to look at him, just because of the sincere help he had unintentionally done.

"I know sometimes at night you wake up and cry to your father, sorry I don't exist when you need someone to share your grief, I'm too proud to care even if I know," Barrack exhaled violently there was a tucked of regret there.

Maybe he didn't love his wife but being with her every day got Barrack used to seeing whatever his wife was doing. Sometimes there's guilt about ignoring Shafa but on the other hand she doesn't want to give anyone else a crack in her heart because she knows she only loves Jenny.

Shafa was speechless at Barrack's words and couldn't help but cry. How could the cold man know his sadness and now suddenly pay attention to him.

"Not crying, here I hug!"

Barrack stretched his arms and hugged Shafa with a feeling he could not understand between pity or affection.

"How are we friends, right?" recited

Barrack who loosened his embrace.

Shafa smiled and nodded, then Barrack hugged him again. After his cry subsided Barrack let go of his embrace and suddenly Shafa's stomach rang.

"Krukkkkkkat.. Krukka.. "

"Didnah! Was my sleep so long that my stomach was protesting to be filled?" recited

Shafa and biting his lips he smiled clumsily in front of Barrack.

Barrack just smiled and immediately took food for Shafa, he painstakingly fed Shafa even though Shafa initially refused.

After the Shafa meal ritual was completed, Barrack told Shafa to rest again so that his body could recover.

"Rest Shafa! Tomorrow afternoon I'll come and take care of you again" Barrack said.

"Ahh no need, there is a mother who takes care of me, after all you have not really healed, there are still bruises," Shafa refused while pointing at the wounds on Barrack's face.

"It's okay just a small wound, later I'm also allowed to go home,"

"But.. "

"Not argue! in front of my family and your family, you are my responsibility, so I will accompany you until you recover, after all only every afternoon until the morning,"

Shafa then nodded and did not dare to argue anymore. Moments later, Farida arrives and Barrack leaves for his room again.
