THE FORMER SHADOW
38. The Riots in the Hospital

"Canta's good news, now the same mama in your house. Today did not go to school, his mind was upset because you went to the hospital" Arshaka explained.

Badrina was sad to hear Arshaka's words. The woman felt she was unable to take care of her own health until her daughter had to endure the current worry.

"Canta must have been surprised to find me passed out at home" Badrina said with teary eyes.

"Yes, that's how it is.." said Arshaka.

The man cleared his throat. "So Canta protested to me for rarely coming home. He asked me to come every day" he added, glancing at Hafez's facial expression.

Badrina was stunned to hear the words of Arshaka, as well as Hafez who looked at the worried sirat on the look on the face of mama Cantara. Only Arshakalah felt that her speech needed to be heard by Badrina.

When the woman wants to respond, someone interrupts their time.

"With Madam Badrina Aini" a female nurse greeted him as he entered the ward. Arshaka said, "Here, Sister."

"Mother Badrina, today we're going to move rooms. The mother's husband took care of the administration of the move" the young nurse explained.

Not yet had Badrina straighten out the misconception of Arshaka's status as her husband, the man first responded, "Yes, Sister. The patient is ready to move."

The nurse, consisting of three people, pulled the patient's gurney towards the VIP room in question. Another nurse helps Arshaka transport Badrina's belongings.

When Hafez offered to help, Papa Cantara refused. "Me alone, no need to bother," he said. As a result, Hafez followed into the VIP room with his bare hands.

The patient in the VIP room was only Badrina. The room is equipped with a long sofa and table, mini-fridge, television, water dispenser, bathroom with hot and cold water, and facilitated food for the patient waiter. It is very convenient for the patient and the family waiting.

Badrina looked around the room. This room must have been expensive, Badrina thought as she moved into the VIP patient bed.

"Don't think it's too heavy, it's not good for your health" Arshaka said as he kept Badrina's personal belongings in the closet. Although his hands worked, it turned out that Arshaka noticed the movements and expressions of his ex-wife.

"I told you, no need to be treated in the VIP room" Badrina protested at that moment.

Arshaka clucking. "Not to be discussed anymore. You are the mother of my son, your health is very important because Cantara needs you. If treated in this room you will be more comfortable, so quickly go home" he explained.

"If anyone pays attention to you, that person should understand and offer this. Not just silent," said Arshaka glanced at someone who had just stood still.

Hearing Arshaka's words, Hafez looked agitated. Not long after, "E... Lina, I think you need a break. Em. I said yes. Tomorrow I will come again to visit you" she interrupts the conversation between Badrina and her ex-husband.

Badrina seemed to wake up, there was someone else with her. "Ooh.. Thank you Hafez for coming to visit me" Badrina said sincerely.

Hafez nodded and responded with a smile then left Badrina's nursing room. He did not bother to say goodbye to Arshaka, just passing through Arshaka.

Badrina rolled her eyes, wanting to feel like she was serving her ex-husband who actually also had no manners. However, Badrina was not energized enough to give an argument.

"Like that's the kind of man that suits your taste." Arshaka's insinuation makes Badrina's eyeballs turn. "Choose a moral husband candidate, if not better than what I do," he added while removing the fruit from an environmentally friendly tote bag.

Badrina panned Arshaka sharply.  "I'm repeating this for the good of you and Canta." He kept a tote bag into a closet drawer after folding it original. Not hearing the response from Badrina, the man turned his head, their gazes locking onto each other. Arshaka understood the kind of gaze his ex-wife gave off was not a kind of charm, but the other way around.

"Why look at me like that? Is there something wrong with me? I was just. telling the facts," he sighed at the shoulder, there was no correction of the sentence.

Badrina's breath is hunting. "Can't ya. Once I meet you, my life remains peaceful. There is no need to hear your words that always demean me...." Arshaka became restless and misbehaved in place. "Always commenting on my life like a haters," exasperated Badrina, sounding occasionally grit her teeth.

"Why... do you regret looking at me? Start loving me? How strong is my charm, heh?" Badrina looked up in a defiant manner revealing the vexation stored in her heart.

Badrina's question deeply disturbed Arshaka. "Don't be reckless with you. Piquancy," he reprimanded.

"Lantas, what's all this for? Being treated in class III even non-class will also be cured," Badrina argued. "But this facility has no effect whatsoever on my feelings." Badrina threw away her gaze as Arshaka looked at her manic.

"There's no need for me to repeat the reason, right. Just focus on healing, the cost problem need not be thought about, I do this all for Cantara," said Arshaka began to ignite emotions.

Badrina quickly turned her gaze back towards Arshaka. Quite upset the woman heard the words from her ex-husband, apparently none other than the reason is Cantara.

Yes, that was the case, let alone what Badrina expected.

As the feeling raged within his chest, suddenly someone slammed in, throwing an angry voice from the direction of the door.

"You... why else would come to disturb my nephew's life, huh!?" amuk Poppy on Arshaka. "Badrina is no one you are anymore, there is no need to be considerate by giving Badrina VIP facilities," he explained while pointing at Arshaka.

Arshaka laughed heartily. The rumble of emotion that Badrina had triggered was even sticking out in her chest. "Rina is still the mother of my son, if Auntie forgets" he said. "When it comes to VIP rooms, I can and will. Badrina had a rich aunt, but did nothing about it" Arshaka calmly quipped.

"Ooh... lest the wealth is still the right of others?" Back there was Arshaka's laughter.

Poppy advanced, punching a barrage of punches towards Arshaka's body. "I'm sorry I allowed you to marry Badrina" he said. The man was pushed back to Badrina's bed, he did not fight considering Poppy was not a balanced opponent.

"Tante.. already..don't beat up Shaka again," Pinta Badrina tried to break up from the bed. He was very tired of breaking up his tanti and Arshaka. Hafez who had been silent only then tried to help after seeing the conditions were not conducive anymore.

"Tante... no, don't make a fuss" Hafez said, pulling Poppy's body away from Arshaka. Poppy thrashed still blow even kick towards Arshaka.

If Poppy is not a woman with the age of entering the middle of the century, it is certain Arshaka will give resistance.

Unconsciously Badrina hugged Arshaka's body from behind as if to provide protection. Papa Cantara was also unconscious so that he would stand up from a sitting position, Arshaka saw Badrina's hand coiled in her stomach, drawing fresh blood from the base of the infusion hose and hit her white clothes.
