Adrian pulled his car over in the hospital parking lot, the wife looked healthy. However, events in the past required him to control the hospital regularly.
At the same hospital, Khadijah had just come out of a room. In addition to Aminah being treated there, he also asked the doctor who handled Naina to provide information related to Alfin's problem to the police.
"Thank you for the cooperation, Doc. Your information is very valuable" said a team of investigators who came with Khadijah.
"Yes, you're welcome."
They split up, Khadija was a little relieved. His lips smiled even though his heart ached when considering the condition of his family hit by the storm.
"Aragh!" He was holding onto his stomach when the pain suddenly whipped. Khadijah grimaced, but as strongly as possible held back from getting carried away in panic. He sat quietly, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"Bah, I think the woman is in pain. Mamah went there for a while, yes," said Adrian's wife did not have the heart to see Khadijah who grimaced in pain.
"Yes already" said Adrian.
His head was darting to the right and left, and the entire hospital corridor. His eyebrows shot up high, frowning then as he saw someone in the distance walking with a woman.
"Eh, Mah! Wait here, don't go anywhere. Papah go for a minute!" Adrian left after his wife agreed. The two separated because of their own needs.
"Mba! Is it okay?" reprimand the woman while sitting next to Khadijah who is still grimacing.
The situation of the place was far from the crowd so that very few people passed by in the hallway.
"My stomach hurts, ma'am, but it's okay. It will soon heal, too" said Khadijah.
Adrian's wife helped rub the hijab woman's stomach, making the baby inside again calm.
"I was pregnant too. It's nice not to play when the doctor says that I'm pregnant with the fruits of love from our marriage" Adrian said with a smile, remembering the beautiful past with his husband.
Gradually the condition of Khadijah's stomach became calm, he justified his sitting position, wiping sweat and hunting the air quickly.
"Mbak's son must be big now" Khadijah said after feeling calmer. He thanked the woman for helping him to find peace.
"Yes, if there is. Because of the events in the past, I have to lose my child also have to be willing with the destiny that God has outlined for me, that is, I can not get pregnant again," said Adrian's wife, who is not pregnant anymore, his eyes looked sad even though lips carved a smile.
"Argh, sorry. I don't know" said Khadijah, feeling a little guilty.
"It's okay, we know it anyway, right. I just couldn't bear to see her mom grimacing in pain." The woman chuckles, speaks fine when her mind is tormented.
"Everything that happens in this world is a test. Patient, yes. May Allah replace all misfortune with happiness" Khadija said guaranteed the woman.
He breathed, remembering the past. An event he never imagined for his entire life.
"really. I don't regret everything that happened to my life. Well, even when it feels like dying is better than living continues to bring deep trauma. It happened a long time ago, twenty years ago. More so, but the trauma until now," said the woman made Khadijah sympathize with her.
What happened to that woman at the same time? Wanted to ask, but not his family because he was nobody.
"Patient, Ma'am. Ikhlas," said Khadijah while wiping his hand.
Adrian's wife looked at Alfin's sister's face, smiling loudly, a rock hit by the waves.
"Ikhlas is very easy to pronounce unbroken words, but the heart and mind are very difficult to carry out. When spoken sincerely, inversely proportional to the heart that still feels pain, also the mind that always remembers. That's how I feel. Although it has been twenty years, my heart still feels pain and I can never forget the same incident," he said.
Khadijah sighed, confirming the woman's words in his heart. Sincere is very easy to say, but how difficult it is to run. When the past is still confined to the soul, sincerity is difficult to accept.
Oral Khadijah kelu heard the narration of Adrian's wife. What has happened in the past to him? So that he can not forget even though it was twenty years ago.
"Khadija. I am sorry for the incident that happened to Mbak," said Khadijah welcomed the friendly hand.
"Thank you. I have no friends, since it happened only my husband kept me company and entertained me."
Khadijah was satisfied, thinking Habsoh's husband was a good and loyal man. She recalled her husband at home who currently had to take care of the farm while taking care of his two children.
"Mbak is very lucky to have a faithful and kind husband" Khadijah said.
Habsoh smiled, maybe now yes, but then ..he sighed, remembering his past home life with Adrian.
****
When the doctor reported her pregnancy, at that time also news of Adrian's affair with Lita he got. A good woman, she accepted all her husband's mistakes when he prostrated to apologize.
At that time, Lita who was pregnant with Adrian's child went out of nowhere. Leaving him without saying goodbye was also clear news.
"I promise I won't repeat, Mah." The man promised, and Habsoh gave him a chance.
Their lives run happily, until that day some people come to the house looking for Adrian. A group of people who are strangers to Habsoh, but claim to be friends of her husband's office when the man goes to work.
Then the terrible tragedy happened, the adultery of her husband was paid for completely by Habsoh. He is harassed by a group of people who claim to be Adrian's friend, to the point of losing the baby and his uterus damaged.
Prolonged trauma makes Habsoh sometimes cry alone, even repeatedly attempted suicide, but always thwarted Adrian.
****
Both are silent, Habsoh drifting in the foam of tragedy that hit him first. Luckily, Adrian has really changed and loved her to this day. The man becomes both an entertainer and a substitute for all that is lost.
And when the news about Lita's child he got, Habsoh's fear again peaked. However, thanks to Adrian's hard work that always convinced his wife, Habsoh became calmer.
The ringing of his cell phone rang, the phone of Adrian.
"Attent." He asked Khadijah for permission.
"Yes, Pah. Wh why? Mamah is still in the place before" Habsoh said after picking up the phone.
"You wait there, Papah's outside the hospital right now and wants to pick up Naina first at the police station."
"W-what? I-yes, Pah. Mamah wait here," said Habsoh, turning off the phone and sighing heavily.
"What's wrong?" Khadijah asked with a frowned.
"My husband is outside the hospital, he wants to pick up our son first. If Mbak Khadijah there is a need, it's okay, really. I want to wait for my husband here" Habsoh said with a smile.
Alfin's brother's lips also reviewed the smile, he would not leave Habsoh who had helped him.
"It's okay, I accompany until your husband comes," said Khadijah could not bear to leave him alone.
"Thank you."

Patience, yes. Everyone, we'll go back to Alfin.
