Possessive Love
Days Without David

The doctor seemed to be sighing, thus making them even more tensed to look at him. However, the doctor immediately posted a smile on his face, before he responded to questions from Aretha and Kris.

Unfortunately, the smile thrown by the doctor did not necessarily make them feel relieved, before they heard themselves the news about David's true condition from the doctor. They are still waiting for an explanation from the doctor.

"Before the patient was critical, but thanks to the prayers of the family, very grateful now the patient has passed it well. However, his condition was still unconscious. Until now, the patient still has not responded to any stimuli," explained the doctor who immediately made the three of them feel relieved again.

"Alhamdulillah," said the three of them in unison.

At once Aretha exhaled her breath a little harshly. He was relieved, really relieved. At least, David was still in a lifeless state. It disturbs his mind that David has completely abandoned him. However, he was wrong and he was very grateful for it. She is grateful that David is still given the opportunity to live, so that makes her more eager to provide support to her husband to recover soon.

Thank you Lord, for granting my prayer.

"Well, when will my husband regain consciousness?" aretha asked curiously, perhaps the doctor knew about it.

"Therefore .. I cannot be sure. It depends on the patient's own condition. But, hopefully the patient can go through a coma in a short time. Pray, "the doctor replied.

At once Aretha shrieked back to hear the explanation of the doctor. However, he still cannot be discouraged. However, he still has the opportunity to make the husband can return as before.

"Good, Doc. Thank you," replied Aretha.

"Alright, then excuse me" the doctor said farewell.

The doctor immediately moved from their presence, followed by the two nurses behind him.

***

The days have passed. Two weeks aretha had gone through the days without David by her side. Yes, until that second there is still no development of his condition.

A week ago, Aretha returned home with her twins. He still takes good care of both his children, even without a husband who helps him.

That afternoon.

As usual, every day he was never absent to visit the husband who was still in the hospital.

"Re?" The baritone voice instantly made the woman focus to the source of the voice.

"Sister Richard?" Aretha looked at Richard who had just come out of the room where David was being treated.

Aretha still set her foot toward the man, more precisely approaching the room. Richard also walked over to Aretha.

"I just went to see David. I'm sorry for his condition, which is still the same as before" Richard said with a regretful expression. "If only that time ...."

"Already, Brother. This is not your fault, but it is indeed the fate of David. We were in a state of panic then, so it was only natural that you would do so. There is no need to blame yourself," cut Aretha who already understood what the man was going to say.

From the beginning Aretha was indeed the fact that the man was sorry and always blamed himself for the accident that befell David. But Aretha never thought of it that way.

Although Richard had repeatedly apologized, Aretha always denied that it was not Richard's fault. Aretha knew very well that no good friend would want to make his own friend wretched, and he believed it.

"But I'm really sorry I've been mem—"

"Already, Brother. Don't talk about this anymore. I was focusing on David's recovery and didn't want to think about things that couldn't be repeated" Aretha interrupted Richard's conversation.

Instantly Richard published his smile—feel pleased. "Well, thank you, Re. Thank you for understanding me" he said.

"Alright, then I say goodbye" said Richard, after he saw the circular watch on his right wrist.

"Hurrying soon? Still have office tasks left unresolved?" ask Aretha who had already realized Richard who looked as if he still had another busyness.

"I have a meeting with a client outside. So, sorry .. I'm staying" replied Richard.

"Oh .. so. Alright Brother. Hope the meeting goes well" Aretha said.

"Thank you, Re," David replied.

"Alright, I'm going in, too." Aretha seemed to point towards David's room.

"Please, Re!"

"Then, I go first, Brother," said Aretha, saying farewell, though Richard also said farewell to him.

Aretha seemed to be stepping her feet towards the room in question. However, just two steps away, Richard suddenly called back to make his steps stop.

"Re," called Richad who suddenly made Aretha look back.

"Yes, Brother?" aretha asked, after she managed to turn her body towards Richard.

Richard smiled. "You are patient. I'm sure this will all be over soon and David will be back by your side" Richard recalled.

Aretha returned that smile. He knew the meaning of Richard's smile.

"I'm strong, brother. No need to worry," replied Aretha confidently.

"I believe that." Richard looked intensely at Aretha's face.

Doesn't last long. Because Aretha was impatient to see her husband, she immediately ended her conversation with Richard, then immediately left the place. Even with Richard who also immediately left the hospital area.

***

Aretha seemed to have been in the room where David was being treated. He was sitting on a chair, right beside the bed where David was lying weakly helpless.

From the beginning of the room, Aretha seemed to hold the man's hand. In fact, he did not want to take it off even for a second.

As is commonly done, Aretha seemed to tell about various things that he passed during the absence of David. He also told the rigid figure about the development and growth of their two children, although he knew that David would not be able to respond.

"Mas, you're healing fast huh, so we can take care of the twins together."

At times Aretha kissed David's hand with love and affection, hoping that David would receive the stimulation he gave.

After feeling enough to let go of the longing, the woman decided

to get out of there soon. There were two babies waiting for him to come home. He had to leave David at the hospital.

"Mas, I go home first, pity the kids if I leave it too long. I really hope you can regroup in our midst. I miss you, Mas" said Aretha as if she had no heart to leave David alone there, because it was always like that. But what can I do. If she keeps David company, what about the two babies at home?

Aretha kissed David's hand, then turned to the man's forehead. He gave a kiss on the man's forehead, before he finally let go of his grasp. However, just now he was going to take it off, it was precisely David's hand that strengthened his grasp, suddenly making the woman look great, feeling distrustful of what he was experiencing at that time.
