Chapter 35 Life Exam

"We'll just walk, Dek! We'll find a new place to live. From now on we open a new page by encouraging each other. Forgive me for not being able to provide a decent place to live and also a good life for you and also our future children. Forgive this helpless paralyzed man!" Bryan cursed again, he was still very hurt by the words of his mother who said he was a disabled man.

"Already, Mom! Don't regret what happened again. All that we face now is the test of life given by the Almighty to us, we must live it patiently and sincerely. I'm sure behind all the problems we're facing right now, there's definitely going to be a better life after this. Regardless of Mas's condition, I will always be faithful to accompany Mas as his wife and also as the mother of your son, Mas!" zakia said, he also removed the crystal grains on Bryan's cheek. Zakia knew her husband was now down.

"Thank you for all this loyalty, Deck! I'm really lucky to have a wife as good as you, otherwise I would be desperate by now" Bryan said.

"Yes, you're the same, Mom! Now let's go! Because the day is getting darker and the rain is also not sure when it's red, Mas." Zakia is trying to shift the conversation.

In addition, he also felt very tired, because from just standing up even though his condition had not recovered.

"Come, Deck! Hopefully tonight we can get lodging and tomorrow we will find a new place to stay" Bryan said.

After that Zakia and Bryan stepped from the house they had lived in long enough. Bryan tried hard, for the sake of his wife and his future baby. His fragile and broken heart tried to put him aside.

Zakia and Bryan were walking in the rain, there is no place for shelter and they also do not make Miss Siska more angry if they meet on the porch of people known by Ms. Siska. Zakia and Bryan decided to keep going even though the sky was getting dark, the lightning also struck in turn.

As the day grew darker, Zakia and Bryan continued to follow where the footsteps took them. The second step is only accompanied by lightning that strikes as a lamp for their journey on a day that is getting darker.

It had been over half an hour they were on foot, aimlessly and with an erratic heart. But there is also no bright spot where they will step foot tonight.

"Awww" ringis Zakia holds his stomach.

Bryan's steps instantly came to a halt, a panicked face instantly enveloping him.

"Why are you, Dek? Where does Deck hurt?" bryan asked.

"My stomach's a little crampy, Mom!" zakia replied with a trembling voice enduring the pain, her body had also started shivering with coldness.

"Astaghfirullah, O Allah! Then let's rest now. We have also been almost 1 hour walk and this also does not include the area where Mama lives anymore. No one's gonna recognize us here anymore, let's take a break, Deck!" bryan asked, anxious face still implied on his face.

Bryan was very afraid that his wife was up to nothing and even more so with the fetus in the womb now.

"Let's rest there first, Deck! Mas's feet also felt sick again because it took too long to get rain," asked Bryan pointed to the terrace of the residents' house.

"Come, Mas!" answer Zakia.

Then they walked together and helped each other to walk up to the porch of the house. After arriving, they immediately poured themselves on the floor of the terrace that was very cold, but it was not enough than continuing to walk in the midst of the rain that was still very heavy.

"The rain is still not showing to subside, Mas! This way we will be difficult to continue the journey" said Zakia.

"Yes, Deck! But the lightning has begun to subside, hopefully the rain will also stop soon" said Bryan.

Zakia nodded, she was already feeling very tired. His lips were also blue from the cold. Bryan immediately grabbed his wife to provide warmth. As a husband, his heart was broken to pieces seeing the condition of his wife.

"Are you hungry, Dek? Mas will try to find a stall that is still open first," asked Bryan.

"No, Mom! I'm not hungry, but later, Mom! Just take a break!" zakia answered, she could not bear to see her husband stumbling again to find food.

"But you need enough intake, Dek! It's also for the sake of our baby" Bryan said.

Zakia could not answer anymore, because what her husband said was true.

"Then wait for the rain to subside first, Mas! We'll find it together" Zakia replied.

Then the two drifted back into their respective minds. Nature also does not seem to allow them to continue their steps, instead of subsiding, the rain actually fell more and more. Because of their exhaustion they finally fell asleep on that porch.

"Wake, Son!" calling someone made Bryan flinch.

Bryan opened his eyes, he was very surprised to see a middle-aged man in all-white clothes already sitting nearby. Bryan scanned that face, who is he? And why is he here?
