The Doctor's Little Wife
Episode 32

Ariff.....

Seeing the people we love most suffer is certainly not a pleasant thing. Moreover, this person is the most meaningful in our lives.

He is still patient, trying to be strong in this situation. Covering any fragile feelings he may be experiencing.

He must be strong, he is the head of the family, he must also show Khanza that all this will be fine.

Last night he and Raka's doctor had already been in negotiations that Khanza would do Chemotherapy. Hope the cancer will get smaller and then disappear without a trace.

“You're ready baby ?” ask Khanza.

“Iya Mas”

“Not afraid Kan ??”

Khanza nodded slowly. After that, he and two nurses took Khanza into a special room for chemotherapy. Inside there are many other patients who will do Chemotherapy just like Khanza.

Luckily he had already registered Khanza in the first place, so Khanza was dealt with immediately after they arrived in the room.

Khanza's hand he held so tightly, giving strength that all this could surely pass Khanza.

---------------

Khanzas...

The pain, nausea and also helpless he had felt while undergoing chemotherapy. I wanted to scream to stop the process.

But when his memory re-energized that there was still much he had to do finally he was patient to withstand every feeling that was difficult to explain.

Especially when remembering the face of Mama-in-law, make her spirit to heal so great. He wants to show that he can still recover and be a good wife for Arif.

But why the taste is so painful, when the performance of the tools for the chemotherapy process is done.

Her tears were relentless to drip, crying over a fate that sometimes never sided well with her. From childhood he had lost the Mother then when he was an adult God even gave himself a trial like this.

God can't give her a little happiness. Especially now that she has just become a wife. She wanted to know how to serve her husband, give him the dishes he cooked. Then wash and prepare Arif clothes. He wants to do that.

After chemotherapy is completed. He returned to the room, where there was Father, Papa and Mama-in-law, as well as Bik Sri.

“Alhamdulillah Pa, chemotherapy is running lancara” said Arif when Papa asked.

“Alhamdulillah” sahut Father and Bik Sri unison.

“What do you feel Nak ?? Does anyone hurt ??” ask Dad

“Khanza is fine Well, Khanza just wants to sleep and rest” he explained with a smile.

“Ya already you sleep aja Nak, I will take care of Khanza here”

His eyes slowly began to close, entering into a dream and slightly forgetting his pain and bitterness about life.

--------------

Khanza....

He was trying not to cry. Khanza's face was so pale when he returned from Chemotherapy.

After Khanza fell asleep he immediately sat down and buried his face in both arms. He cried, giving off a sense of tightness that was so enthroned.

“Sabar Well, Khanza will be fine” Arif said when he saw her crying. The gentle pats from Arif did little to calm him down.

“Why should Khanza ?? Why should she be the one who feels the bitterness of her life ?? From small he has lost the affection of a Mother then after big he also has to feel all this??” her cry was still broken let alone saying all that her lips were shaking.

Everything was quiet, nobody spoke anymore. He was still crying with his head buried in his arms. Khanza was still peacefully asleep.

-----------

Khanzas......

After a month in the hospital, he was finally able to go home even though his condition was still weak.

Honestly, Doctor Raka has not allowed her to go home. But he insisted, he wanted to breathe the outside air and promised to always take medicine with a routine and will be diligent undergoing treatment.

“You go home to Daddy, what goes straight home to your husband, son??” ask Dad after they're done cleaning up.

“Home Dad first, tomorrow new to Mas Arif because Khanza has not cleaned Khanza clothes for under”

“Ya already then”

He still continues to pay attention to the activities of Bik Sri who is so deft to clean his things, Bik Sri is so, that makes him so fond of the middle-aged woman.

“Non Khanza let's help you get in a wheelchair. That stuff is ready for under” said Bik Sri keeps him awake from daydreams for a moment.

“Iya Bu” replied later.

Bik Sri immediately helped him to get out of bed and switch to sitting on a wheelchair that had been provided.

Indeed her husband can not help because he is working, he did not force because there is still Bik Sri and also Father who will help him. While his two in-laws had returned to Bandung 1 week ago.

“Come on we go home” Dad said later.

“Iya Yah”

The wheelchair was pushed by Bik Sri while her luggage was under by Dad. As she was about to leave the room, her husband suddenly arrived. Make their steps stop.

“It's done ??” ask Arif while aligning the body in his direction.

“Iya Mas” replied smiling.

“His pleasure is to go home until she does not want to wait for her husband again” Arif back teasing him.

“Isss, what Sih Mas!!”

“Hahaha, yes already be careful on the road ya !! I'm sorry I can't stop, I'll be home at 02. Wait at home !!” arif said while glancing one eye at him.

Makes himself cut his lips.

Arif escorted them to the front of the Loby hospital, then back inside because he wanted to continue his work.

He just smiled looking at the steady back of the husband who was getting away.

------------

Ariff.....

I don't know if he should be happy if he was sad when he saw his wife was allowed to go home. His wife was allowed to go home but the cancer that Khanza suffered still could not be cured.

I don't know how many more times Khanza will undergo chemotherapy.

“Interested in making your wife go abroad??” ask Raka.

“Entahlah, if Khanza wants yes I am ok, You know whatever I will do for the recovery of Khanza” he explained with a look that turned sad.

Raka just nods her head, maybe Raka knows how she feels right now.

At exactly 02pm he rushed home. I miss a comfortable bed. Because for almost 1 month more he spent his sleep in the hospital accompanying his wife against cancer.

“Gue first Ka” shouted to Raka who also wanted to go home.

“Iya, carefully” reply Raka also shouted.

He did not respond anymore, he immediately got into the car and ran it.

Riding at moderate speed to arrive safely.

Tonight he'll sleep back at his in-laws' house. Khanza said he would sleep in his house tomorrow. Ah it feels impatient to invite Khanza and show their room later.

Tin-tin-tin-tin-s.

He honked his car horn. So that a security guard who works at Khanza's house immediately opens the gate.

“Still Pak”

“Sama-sama den”

After that, he went straight into the house,. There was no one in the living room so he went straight to Khanza's room.

Chequek.

Slowly he opened the door to Khanza's room. He saw Khanza was fast asleep. He approached and sat down beside Khanza's bed.

“Mas” muttered Khanza in a hoarse voice.

“Hmmmm, why wake up ?? Mas bother ya???”

“No, I should have built because I have to welcome you when I go home to work”

He smiled then slightly raised his face to kiss the wife's forehead. Then whisper the word “I Love You" in Khanza's ear.

“Love you To” Khanza replied.
