Temptation of Telaga Residents
Take care of Nina

Erick came by bringing all the needs of Nina while in the hospital, he thought for himself what Nina needed, wanted to ask Nina he was reluctant, Nina looked less friendly with him.

"Nin, this is your phone, this is me also bring a change of clothes, I don't know if just take it earlier," Erick said as he put the item he brought on the table.

Nina tries to reach for her phone, Erick quickly helps pick it up and hands it to Nina, Nina takes the phone in Erick's hand violently.

Erick goes out of the room leaving Nina alone, he accidentally gives her space to contact her family, maybe that way she will feel a little relieved. Erick goes to the baby care room, he begs the nurse to take a photo of Nina's baby, so that Nina is happy when she sees a photo or video of her tiny baby.

Nina sobbed in tears while talking to her mother over her phone, she was sad that she could not see Ronald one last time, she could only roar while cursing her own circumstances.

"Already Nina, you have to iklas we all know your condition is not likely to be present here, you must be strong, must be strong for the sake of your child, Mama will come this afternoon, Mama will come this afternoon, returning home from the funeral Ronald Mama immediately went there, baby, wait for Mama to come," Pratiwi ended his phone call.

Nina wiped her tears when she heard that the door to her room was opening, Erick walked in with a smile and greeted her.

"Nin ..., would you like to see your son's video?" ask Erick slowly.

Nina's eyes sparkled with delight, as her sadness disappeared from hearing about her baby, Erick approached her and showed her from her phone. Nina's smile suddenly disappeared, leaving Erick feeling bewildered by Nina's sudden change in attitude.

"Why don't you like it?" ask Erick wonder.

"Send the video to my WA!!" answer Nina ketus.

"Oh yeah, stupid I'm sorry, yeah," Erick scratched his head that wasn't itching.

Nina stared intently at Erick who looked wrong in front of her, actually she wanted to laugh at Erick's behavior like that, but on the other hand her heart still felt annoyed with him, actually she wanted to laugh at Erick's behavior, he chose to be cold and stiff towards the man.

After the video and some photos of her child entered on her phone, Nina did not get tired of observing the photos and videos of her baby she smiled and cried herself, while Erick just stared to watch Nina's attitude from her chair.

As Nina moves down from the bed, Erick hastily gets up and approaches her, keeping her from fearing that Nina might fall. Nina stared intently at Erick she was reluctant to get help from the man.

"I can do it myself!!" nina said rudely.

"You just operated on Nina, don't push yourself," Erick ignored Nina's refusal, patiently helping Nina.

"I want to wipe my body, and change my clothes" Nina said.

"Let's help you" Erick replied.

"Switch my body?" Nina's eyes bulged.

"Oh no, don't get me wrong, I'll just help you go to the bathroom" Erick said nervously.

Nina was silent and walked slowly while resting on Erick's shoulder, Erick carried the infusion bag with his hand, after Nina's bathroom was even confused in fact she could not take off her own clothes, she said, finally he just threw away a little water and came out again. Erick who was waiting at the door was astonished.

"Why?" ask Erick.

"I can't" said Nina.

Erick brought Nina back to his bed, he was confused, wanted to help take off Nina's shirt and there was no way she could do it, Nina could slap him if he offered to undress.

"Wait for Eka to come over and change her clothes, or if I just get warm water with a small towel you can wipe your face fresh," Erick said, Nina nodded in agreement.

Erick prepared the basin and warm water and took the small towel he brought and handed it to Nina, Nina started wiping her face of her neck and arms, Erick turned and pretended to go out of the room, after Nina finished she went back in and packed the basin from Nina's bed.

"Rick ..." call Nina shrewdly.

"Yes Nin," Erick approached Nina.

"I need pads and also underwear, it feels uncomfortable to be replaced," said Nina.

"Oh that's good, wait a minute I'll buy it in Alf* in front of the hospital," Without asking Erick went straight away to leave Nina.

In the mini market Erick went around he was confused to see so many choices of pads, he finally approached the waiter and whispered so as not to be heard by others.

"Mbak .. Can you ask for help?" ask him while glancing right left let no one hear.

"Well, can anyone help you?" replied the waiter friendly.

"Which sanitary napkin for a new woman gives birth?" erick said shyly.

"Oh well, let me get you," the waiter walked to the place where the sanitary napkin products were neatly arranged.

"This one can sir," The waiter took one and handed it to Erick.

"My wife is fat what skinny?" ask the waiter.

"It's more or less like Mommy is also her body" Erick said.

The woman stepped up and picked up a box of panties, Erick smiled happily and thanked her, after making the payment she rushed back to see Nina.

Nina was already with Eka in her room, Erick smiled with relief at least Eka could help Nina change her clothes.

"It's Nin," Erick handed me the grocery bag.

Nina's face reddened to see Erick actually buying her pads and underwear, she could not imagine how she could buy him women's equipment, must be full of struggle to withstand embarrassment.

"Rick go home to rest, let me take care of Nina" said Eka.

"Are you okay with being alone?" ask Erick.

"There will be Dayat who will come with me" said Eka.

"Well if that's the case, I'll go home first," Erick looked at Nina just before leaving the place.
