The Doctor's Second Wife
Siasat Aunty Ratih's.

Early in the morning, the Sun emits its rays, looking through the open window slit above it. I flipped back, the aching feeling just now. The long journey we took yesterday was smooth and comfortable but, still because of the long distance made me feel tired. I headed for the bathroom, Ziko still slept comfortably under the soft thick blanket. I will clean the body first before preparing breakfast, although the possibility of Bi Uti has prepared it first.

After preparing, I swung my steps towards the kitchen, faintly heard the sound of cooking utensils clashing against each other, the sound of the stove being lifted, the sound of boiling water from the pot and the sound of oil being heated.. "Well, Bi uti must be working hard alone," I sped up, hoping to immediately provide assistance to the woman. It didn't take long for me to stand in the pink kitchen, but my intention went further, my eyes caught a familiar figure, I was surprised to see it, not only because of its appearance using an apron with a rose motif but also on what the man was doing there. The beakbaya man was seen busy putting pieces of vegetables into a pot where the water was boiling, then as fast as lightning he poured the eggs that had been shaken off into the pan, although he looks very relaxed still I think this is not something he usually does at home.

"Are you just going to stand there,?" a voice resuscitated me who was still sculpting.

"Oh.. What can I do for you,?" ask me then when my mind is completely back.

"Please return the eggs, I'll make coffee and tea" Damar's doctor thrust a white spatula at me.

"Well," I answered briefly and took the thing out of his hand.

" Akira, do you want tea or coffee,?" ask Dr. Damar.

"Tea only," I replied "without sugar "obviously me again, my hands are busy turning behind the eggs in question, when in fact once back is enough ,but the nervousness of remembering last night's incident between me and Doctor Damar made me lose focus.

"Well, Coffee is for me, Chocolates are warm for Ziko and Tea is for you" murmured doctor Damar lirih, he looked preoccupied with a glass in front of him.

Omelette and carrot soup is ripe, I set it on the table, next to a pot containing white rice that looks to emit thin smoke. Doctor Damar also put Coffee, Tea and hot Chocolate next to the plate that I just finished.

"Beres.now wake up Ziko, we have breakfast together," Damar's doctor looked at me.

"Okay doc, I'll wake him up ".

After waking up Ziko and helping her prepare us to walk to the dining room, there were already Doctors Damar and Bi uti who greeted us with a smile as they were beautiful flowers.

"Good morning ma'am, good morning to you.." Sapa Bi uti to us .

"Good morning Bi, oiya Ziko, Meet this Bi Uti," I replied while introducing Bi Uti to Ziko .

"Good morning Bi Uti," Sapa Ziko then stepped towards the seat of the doctor Damar.

"Good morning Dad," Sapa Ziko again made my heart beat fast, I panicked and held in shame . It's just that I didn't feel good since then, it turns out this is what I'm going to see.

I turned my gaze towards Doctor Damar who looked calm but his lips revealed a wide smile.

"Good morning too Good-bye Dad," replied Dr. Damar, "How did you sleep,?" continued.

"Very good Dad, it's just that I'm a little distracted by mother's movements, he's like he's very agitated and makes a noise "She complained Ziko with a sullen expression, wanting to feel like I'm silencing his tiny lips.

"really?? well, surely mother is remembering something that makes her nervous to have trouble sleeping, " Said Dr. Damar, his eyes glanced at me with a thin smile full of meaning.

I took my breath and glanced at Ziko sharply "Ziko, quickly sit on your chair" I ordered .

"Okay mother" answered Ziko and moved to an empty seat near me.

The three of us ate voraciously, I admit that Doctor Damar's cooking was delicious, although the menu was simple but still tasted very delicious, Ziko even asked for additional rice on the plate.

"Today we don't need to go to the Hospital, Amar and Sarah will also be here later in the day" explained Dr. Damar as he finished his meal.

"Then who will accompany Miss Nadira,?" I asked, I also finished the food on my side.

"There are Oma and Ratih, they will replace Amar and Sarah ". His word.

*********

In a VVIP Hospital room, four people were sitting opposite each other while another was leaning against a hospital bed.

"Why did you let them stay together ?" a female voice sounded breaking the silence between them.

"Tante Ratih, they were there not only Ziko, Mr. Aswin and Bi Uti," Sarah responded to the woman's question which turned out to be Aunt Ratih, Nadira's sister.

"Stay that's not good. You will know she is an obscure woman, if she is a good woman - whether she wants to stay at someone else's house" replied Aunt Ratih with a slight tone of emotion.

Amar and Sarah let out a sigh, they both thought there was no point in explaining to Aunt Ratih, from the beginning she was already bright - a hint of dislike for Aunt Akira. They choose silence no longer.

"I gave them permission to stay, and soon they would get married" Nadira's weak voice made them all turn away.

"Stay brother, I still can not accept Akira, he was just using the circumstances of Brother," Aunt Ratih still did not accept.

"Your agreement is not important Ratih, it is important that Damar and the children feel comfortable with him," Nadira's voice slightly raised, he also felt tired of his sister's attitude like this, he also felt tired, actually, he did not not not not know the reason, Nadira knew clearly the reason Ratih objected to the presence of Akira, it was because since Ratih had put his heart on Damar, she even openly teased her sister-in-law, but Nadira was grateful that her husband remained faithful and not affected at all.

"Had your brother Ratih already made up his mind, I see Akira was also very sincere to Sarah and Amar," Oma interceded

the debate between them.

"As much as you guys but don't expect me to be kind to that woman" Aunt Ratih left the room after finishing her speech.

"Nadira, you rest, son, don't think of anything," Oma approached Nadira and helped her lie down.

"Mom, Oma, Me and Sarah will go home first, we will come back here later" Pamit Amar told the other generation of women in front of him.

"Beauty heart, don't forget mom's message. Take your father, Aunt Akira and Brother Ziko for a walk, don't worry about mom, there's Aunt Ratih and Oma who take care of ," nadira then cupped the cheeks of her sons - her daughter gave them a kiss of affection.

"Ready ma'am, bye Oma "Sarah and Amar walked out of the ward after saying goodbye.

*****

Meanwhile In the Hospital cafeteria, a woman was sitting restlessly, her lips muttering since earlier, she had not even touched the iced tea in front of her.

"I'm not going to let them get married, I'm going to do anything to cancel that marriage, anyway,"

"Nobody has the right to Doctor Damar, only I am the most appropriate for him, "

"I'm even willing to wait so long for this opportunity, I won't waste it."

"Look at Akira, wait for the game date, the game is just beginning,"

The woman continued to monologue, without caring about some of the people who looked at her astonished to see her side, who spoke to herself with an angry expression.
