Slander Fruits of Karma

Part 91's

At five o'clock in the morning, Novia woke up and the morning prayer continued by waking her son and husband.

Adiba whines for being forced to get up, while the Emir still pokes his eyes.

"Vi, how could you force the kids to wake up."

"The janitor will soon come Wan, rather than you being expelled even more pityfully" said Novia

With a lazy step, Irwan went into the bathroom cleaning himself. Soon she came out and took her three children home.

Novia accompanied her son and husband to the hospital parking lot, Irwan held Adiba and Novia carried the Emir while holding Camillah's hand.

Arriving at the parking lot, before getting into the car Novia gave a message to Camillah as her oldest child.

"Millah accompany the sisters at home yes, mama while staying here until this is healed."

"Come, here, the children of mama salim first," said Novia as she thrust her hands at her three children.

When Adiba and Emir saluted, Novia also gave a message to the two children.

"Diba and Emir recite yes brother, do not be stubborn and fussy."

The two boys just nodded according to his mother's words, Novia smiled amusedly at their behavior that looks funny.

"We go home first, tomorrow we come here again" said Irwan.

The car slowly moved, Novia waved her hand and was replied by her three children from the car.

Novia stared at her husband's car until it disappeared from view, then she went back inside her mother's room.

Arriving inside, it turns out that Mrs Ratih has awoken sitting leaning on the head of the bed.

"Where from?" ask Bu Ratih

"Introduce the children to the mah's parking lot" replied Novia

"They slept here all night?"

"Yes, my mother fell asleep very soundly the effects of the drug" said Novia.

"Yes, that's why this morning you feel fresher than usual."

"Mama don't think too much, it will affect your health later."

"Oh, yes, your breakfast is ready apparently, I bribe yes," Novia bargained when she saw a tray containing a plate of warm porridge and a piece of papaya fruit placed on the nightstand.

Ratih nodded his head in agreement, seeing his mother Novia's behavior felt like caring for a toddler who obeyed his words.

"May mama recover quickly, can cheer up again like before and play with grandchildren," inner Novia when feeding her mother.

Shortly after, the doctor came to do an examination. Mrs Ratih conveyed the complaints she had.

"For a while the mother rests here, if her blood sugar is normal again the mother can go home" said the doctor.

"What foods should you not consume?" ask Novia.

"No need to abstain, eat something just enough not to overdo it is not good for health."

"The portion of the meal is reduced, try to eat more fruits and vegetables. The important point is not to stress," replied the doctor at length gave an explanation to Novia.

The doctor handed Novia a piece of paper, "this is the prescription, the mother will redeem at the pharmacy."

"Thank you doc."

Novia took the paper from the doctor's hand, containing scribbles that were difficult to understand.

"Well, I'm gonna go to the pharmacy for a while. If you need something to push this button later the nurse will come to help you" said Novia while pointing at the button next to her mother's bed.

Mr. Ratih nodded

Novia passed leaving her mother in the room, the woman rushed to the pharmacy because it was certain there would be crowded and the queue was long.

Long wait, finally it's Novia's turn no queue who was called to take the medicine. After getting the cure Novia returned to her mother's room.

Novia opened the door and entered, in the room already Riska who accompanied her mother. Novia put the medicine on the nightstand and sat down to rest.

"It's been a long time, brother?" ask Novia.

"A little over an hour" said Riska.

"Who told you brother?"

"Your husband, this morning he stopped by my sister's house and said that my mother was being cared for here."

"But I didn't tell him, even this morning I forgot to tell him," said Novia

"Oh, thank goodness" replied Novia.

They also talked a lot, discussing about his mother's illness and their work problems.

"Vi, I'm sorry, brother can't accompany you here at night. Lately, the health of my sister is also not good" said Riska.

"Yes, you better take care of your health, let me take care of your mom here."

Afternoon ....

Riska said goodbye, Novia and her mother stayed in the room.

"Vi, mama wants to go home" said Mrs Ratih

"Well, just a day here, why ask to come home?"

"Mama is not at home, after all, mama's sense of health has recovered." Mrs Ratih put on a hardened face so that Novia would grant her wish.

"We wait for the results of the examination tomorrow, if the doctor gives us permission to go home, but if the results are still the same we survive first here," replied Novia

Mrs Ratih looked away, deep down she felt sorry to see the tired Novia taking care of her and healing herself.

Novia approached and rubbed her mother's hand, as if she was thinking about something and Novia tried to comfort her.

"Well, remember the doctor said, you have to avoid stress. Don't think too much so that your illness will heal quickly and we can go home" Novia said.

"Vi, you just go home, here a lot of nurses will take care of mom. Pity your children at home." said Mrs Ratih without looking at Novia.

"Astaghfirullah, apparently that's what you think, I've told you there's Irwan who takes care of your children don't worry about them" said Novia.

Mrs Ratih pondered for a moment, Novia's speech was true but she also could not bear to see Novia alone taking care of it.

"Well, when else can I take care of the elderly. It's enough that I've lost a father who left in a sudden way, I don't want to be a disobedient child who wastes a parent."

Novia's eyes glazed over, reflecting back the seconds of her father's sudden departure without even leaving any message.

Novia walked into the bathroom, turned the water tap so her mother wouldn't hear her sobs inside.

Novia as hiccupped, her tears flowing profusely unbearably. The longing for his father suddenly rose, causing him to be horrified in the bathroom.

Satisfied with spilling her grief, Novia washes her face because she does not want to until her mother finds out what happened to her.

Novia came out of the bathroom, deliberately looking for busyness by cleaning the room. He occasionally glanced at his mother who was lying on the bed.

Mrs Ratih closed her eyes, harboring a deep longing for her husband. A time like this was the figure of her husband that she needed to accompany him.
