After dinner, Maryam accompanied Granny who was watching the soap opera. Amar joined despite not understanding the soap opera storyline, he just wanted to accompany his wife and grandmother. Often coming to the nursing home made Amar realize how valuable his grandmother was and he also spent more time with them now.
"What's wrong?" amar asked because Granny was staring at him and seemed to want to say something.
"Granny wants to say something" Granny said. Then he glanced at Maryam before the end of his staring at Amar.
"Speak aja, Granny. What's it about?" amar asked curiously, because his unusual grandmother was hesitant in saying something. Granny herself looks not ready to say it, but she feels she should not delay again.
"It's about your mom, actually..."
"I don't have a Mama!" firmly Amar cut off Granny's talk. Even his gaze immediately flashed with anger and hatred.
"Listen first, Amar. Please!" pinta Maryam gently grasped Amar's hand. He looked at Amar with a pleading gaze, but Amar did not care.
"I don't want to hear anything" cried Amar once again.
"But you should know, your mother didn't kill your Papa, Amar. What happened was just an accident" Granny said half-screaming and it made Amar silent for a moment but then he laughed blandly.
"What's up, Granny? Why did you come to talk about this? And that after more than 15 years?"
"Yes, after all that time. And Granny just realized that Granny was wrong because of your interest in telling you, your Papa fell alone because of slipping"
"Granny... Please.." exclaimed Amar trying to contain his anger. He really did not understand why his grandmother suddenly spoke like that
"Believe the same Granny, Amar. And you can ask the lawyer who handled the case" Granny Amy explained that it was very unlikely that Rossa who was injured at the time could encourage her husband, who was not, Granny told me all about it and why Rossa pleaded guilty when she didn't.
Amar strongly distrusts that fact, which he believes is his sister and his father died because of his mother.
"This is the last time Granny talked about the woman in this house. Don't ever do it again!" firmly Amar then he immediately stood up and rushed to his room, Granny Amy cried, if he said that from a long time ago, maybe Amar's hatred was not that big on his mother.
"Granny, let Maryam do the talking. Don't cry" said Maryam. Then he soon followed Amar.
"Mar... Wait" cried Maryam but Amar as if he did not hear her. Maryam walked faster "Amar, how long will you live with this kind of hatred? Your mother has changed" said Maryam hoping Amar would understand and believe
"Women like that will never change" Amar said and continued to walk into his room. He really hated this topic.
"He changed, he regretted his actions, Amar" said Maryam who still followed Amar from behind.
"But it won't bring my brother and my Papa back"
"And your hatred will bring them back to life" Maryam said more emphatically. Amar paused and fell silent "Hate is a stain that will darken your heart, Amar. And gnawing at your soul, breaking you from within" Maryam lowered her tone "Try to forgive her, forgiveness is hard but by forgiving life can be more peaceful" persuade Maryam but Amar shook his head.
"That will never be" said Amar. Maryam was very sad because her husband's heart was really filled with hatred for his mother. Mary approached her husband, intending to speak from heart to heart.
"But Amar..."
"I told you never will." cried Amar and he accidentally pushed Maryam when his wife touched his shoulder, and the strong thrust of Amar made Maryam hit the wall and she fell.
"Agggh..." Maryam groans painfully while holding her stomach. Amar who saw it immediately panicked...
"Sa.. Dear. Sorry, sorry..." Amar immediately carried Maryam to take her to bed. But how surprised Amar when he saw there was blood flowing on his wife's thigh and even stained his bedsheets. While Maryam continues to moan miserably even now she has cried.
Amar grew increasingly panicked and without wasting time, he again carried Maryam and brought her down.
"Dear, I'm sorry. Sorry me..." Amar could not stop saying sorry in a trembling voice.
"Bobby..."
"Bobby..." Amar screamed and Bobby ran to him.
"Master, Ad.... Blood?" peek Bobby who saw Maryam's dress exposed to blood. Granny Amy who was still in the living room was very surprised to see Amar carrying Maryam.
"Hospital now" said Amar and he immediately took Maryam to the car. Granny Amy follows her from behind with Rika and Gina.
"Darling, hold on. Sorry I.." muttered Amar still with a trembling voice, even unconsciously Amar shed her tears, she stroked Maryam's cheeks wet with tears as well, she said, Maryam felt a lot of pain and also fear if anything happened until she cried but her lips showed a smile that appeared on the forced.
"We'll be fine" whispered Maryam in an almost inaudible voice. He did not want to see Amar sad even though he himself was very sad about what Amar had done.
"I.. Yes Sir"

At the hospital, the doctor immediately handled Maryam. While Amar and Granny can only go back and forth with such a great fear.
"Actually you're what he is, huh?" granny asked, arriving at Amar. Amar did not answer her, he just kept pacing back and forth, randomizing his hair, rubbing his face roughly.
Why can he do all this? Amar became the most evil man because he had hurt his wife for the second time and he also hurt his baby. What if something happens?
"Yes Allah... Please save them" muttered Amar. He felt so scared and it made him feel frustrated.
"Amar.." her grandmother yelled, because she believed what happened to Maryam was Amar's act that might not be able to control her emotions.
"I didn't deliberately push him, Granny" said Amar who immediately made Granny gaping looking at Amar in disbelief but then he beat Amar.
"What have you done? Why did you hurt them? Are you venting your hatred on your wife and child?" Granny Amy yells at Amar with a question that makes Amar's heart feel torn apart and Amar can only be silent. God knows how much Amar loves his wife and their baby, so there's no way Amar can hurt them. But that's exactly what happened.
"Please calm down and don't make a fuss!" a Sister warned them. Granny Amy sat down and cried. Amar sat next to his grandmother, resting his head on the shoulder of the grandmother who had taken care of him like a mother. Amar was crying, he was crying. The guilt of being rude to his wife and the fear of something happening to his wife and children made Amar unable to stem his tears.
"I don't know on purpose, I'm afraid they're why napa, Granny" said Amar. Granny Amy stroked her granddaughter's head with a pity.
"We pray that they're okay"
Amar and Granny Amy are waiting in silence. Amar kept begging his wife and son to be okay.
And when a Doctor came out of Maryam's room, Amar immediately got up and searched the Doctor with questions.
"Thank God the patient and the baby in his womb are fine, you bring him at the right time" exclaimed the doctor who made Amar and Granny immediately give thanks and breathe a sigh of relief.
"Alhamdulillah, O Allah" he murmured.
"But the patient still has to rest, and in hospital until his condition improves"
"Can I come in?" amar and the Doctor asked.
Amar came in and saw his wife lying weak. Amar could not hide his sadness and guilt. Maryam who had fainted was now conscious, she showed her weak smile to her husband.
"Darling..." Amar kissed Mary's forehead and again Amar could not hold back his tears that were now spilled and wet Mary's forehead.
"Hey... We're fine" exclaimed Maryam trying to comfort her husband who was still crying. Amar sat in the chair beside Maryam's ward, then he clasped Mary's hand and kissed her many times while muttering an apology.
"I'm sorry, honey. I'm so mean, please excuse me.." he said half a whisper. Maryam still faithfully wears a thin smile, she caresses her husband's cheeks and wipes away the tears that wet his cheeks.
"What the hell, you don't do it on purpose. And we're fine, Amar. Already do not cry yes" he said gently but it even made Amar more sobbing. He remembers promising Mary that she would never hurt him again, but Amar broke that promise and Mary was still so tender, understanding and forgiving.
"Then you know the same baby we are" persuaded Maryam, carrying Amar's hand on her stomach "He's strong really" he continued. Amar nodded and kissed Maryam's stomach.
"Daddy's son must be strong.I'm sorry, honey. Daddy hurt you and Mommy, sorry Daddy"
"I'm really scared" said Amar then "Sorry I can't keep a promise"
"Udah, forget it. What matters is that we're okay now" exclaimed Maryam. Although actually he did feel disappointed because again Amar can not control his emotions, but Maryam tried to understand and he was very grateful because the baby is fine.
"I promise you will hurt you again, I love you so much" said Amar, once again peeping at Maryam's forehead.
"We love you too"
