Not the Perfect Wife
277. S2 - Want the best
Khairi, Afrin and Mama Merry are waiting for Papa Hamdan in the ICU. They all look worried. No one expected that the middle-aged man would be like this, even though his condition had already improved. Even Papa Hamdan had wanted to have lunch at the dinner table, but his wife forbade him.
They waited long enough for the door to open. A doctor came out, followed by a nurse, carrying a board with paper on it. Everyone immediately approached the doctor.
"How's my papa doing, Doc?" khairi asked, looking at the doctor.
"Sir Hamdan had a mild stroke. Fortunately he was quickly brought here so, can get faster handling."
"Now how's it going, Doc?" ask Mama Merry.
"Now he is resting. Later if we realize we will know how it develops. I hope everything is okay" the doctor said. "I'm sorry, soon the nurse will move Mr. Hamdan to the ward."
The doctor went with a nurse. Not long after, another nurse pushed the gurney with Papa Hamdan sleeping on it. The whole family followed him from behind.
Until they arrived at a VIP room. The nurses checked all the medical equipment before leaving. Mama Merry was always faithful beside her husband. Not a second did the woman leave.
"Darling, you wait here, yeah! I'm going to buy some food. We have not eaten yet" Khairi told his wife.
"Yes, Mas" said Afrin. To be honest he was hungry, but at times like this his mouth would not be able to swallow food.
Khairi went out looking for food. Just like his wife, he also definitely could not swallow food either. However, the man had to force himself to eat. Now everything is his responsibility. Khairi must be strong, must not be weak in the least.
The man was looking for his mother and wife's favorite food so they would eat it. For himself, he did not choose. Just as there was food entering his body was enough. Khairi returned to his papa room after getting the food he ordered. The man handed the food to his wife so that the woman would prepare it.
"Ma, eat first. Mama hasn't had dinner yet. Later even sick," said Khairi to Mama Merry.
"Mama is not hungry. You're the only ones eating. Mama was full of eating martabak earlier," refused Mama Merry. without looking at the child and daughter-in-law.
"That's not full, Ma. You have to keep eating so you can take care of Papa. A little bit is okay" Afrin sidestepped with a serving of food and a glass of warm tea to give to her in-laws.
"Yes, Ma. A little bit is okay" Khairi said.
"Mama, want me a bribe?" tawar Afrin's.
"No need, let Mama eat by herself. You eat, you must be hungry too" said Mama Merry by taking the food in the hands of her daughter-in-law.
Khairi and Afrin were relieved that Mama Merry was ready to eat. The man also invited his wife to eat. He did not want the woman to get sick. Although it feels very difficult to swallow food, but they force it to enter the body.
At times like this Khairi feel lucky to have a wife like Afrin. Although the age of the woman is fairly young, but her thinking is very mature. Sometimes even the husband asks for advice on the problems that are happening to him.
While they were enjoying the food, Ivan came by handing Khairi and Afrin's cell phones. They were both in a hurry, so they didn't take him. Fortunately, the wallet was still in his pocket so he could pay for the hospital fees.
Khairi also asked Ivan to handle all his work. For now he wants to focus on the health of Papa Hamdan and his papa company. That man couldn't possibly cope with all at once.

"Mother had just sent Afrin a message that Mr. Hamdan was taken to the hospital" Emran told his wife as they watched a television show.
"Sir Hamdan is sick? Now how's it going?"
"Hopefully it's okay. We're going to take a look tomorrow, aren't we, Pa?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"It must be now that Khairi is confused because he has to take care of two companies. His mind must also be divided by the state of his father" Aydin said.
Everyone was silent thinking about it. During this time his daughter-in-law never wanted to take care of his papa company, therefore he built his own business. Despite the shock, the man never gave up.
"Oma ain," said Nuri while showing her toys.
"Oma's grandson can already call Oma!" yasna exclaimed as she lifted her granddaughter up onto her lap.
Yasna kissed her granddaughter's face with anxiety. Although the little girl's relationship with her mother had been very good, but still the girl was still spoiled for Yasna. The middle-aged woman was also happy to respond to this.
Nayla was no longer envious of that closeness. For him it was important that his daughter was happy. Especially now that she is pregnant. The woman had promised to take care of her own child and would not use the services of a babysitter.
"Now Oma's grandson is better at talking."
"Yes, Ma. He has a lot of true vocabulary" Nayla said.
"Thank God, then, he doesn't need therapy" Yasna said. "Oh yeah, you checked the pregnancy, right? How's your baby developing?"
"Thank God, everything is good . According to the USG results, the doctor said the baby was a boy, but I don't know if it wasn't. Whatever it is I'm happy to hear it," Nayla replied with a fluffy smile.
"When your pregnancy first, you don't want to know the gender first. Why are you seeing him now?"
"First pregnancy, gave me a lot of lessons, Mother. The USG is not just about looking at the sex, but also the health of the mother and baby. I don't want the events of that time to reoccur by ignoring the examination. I want to feel what it's like to take care of a baby" Nayla replied with teary eyes.
"Yes, that's good." Yasna knew how her daughter-in-law felt. There must have been a sense of her own trauma that she had endured until now.
Nayla does all the checks that the doctor recommends. He did not care how much money the woman had to spend. The husband was very supportive of what his wife was doing. The man happily accompanied Nayla.
"It's late, you better take a break. It is not good for pregnant women to stay up late" said Yasna. "Come on, Nuri slept with mama!"
"Ndak not want, tidul ma Oma," refused Nuri.
"Just mama, yuk! Pity Oma for sleep, "persuade Nayla.
"Ndon't want to."
"Oh, it's okay. Let Nuri sleep with mom tonight" Yasna said.
"Yes, then I go in first, Mother," said Nayla, who was adopted by Yasna.
Nayla went into her room with her husband. While Yasna and Emran are still waiting for Nuri to finish playing. The little girl will not want to be invited to sleep if the game is not finished.
