The Secret Marriage of the Lecturer
To the Hospital Again

Chapter 6

Yakk…

Virza opens the door for Sapphira. Safira feels that Virza has changed her attitude a lot. The girl turned to look at Virza who was taking off her jacket.

“Lo don't get me wrong, I just went there to tell dad. I was asked to make sure that you are all right,” said Virza as if he knew what his wife was thinking.

“Oh!” Safira looks disappointed to hear the reason behind Virza's good.

Virza is embarrassed to admit that she is actually worried that Safira is working long distances and coming home at night. He also could not control himself who felt annoyed when he saw the closeness between Raka and Safira.

***

Their marriage was two months old. During that time they stayed together. Sapphira who divides time between work, lectures and doing thesis prepares some food for them.

That night Sapphira came home a little late. It's been a few days since Virza didn't pick her up because there was trouble in her father's office. Upon arriving home, Safira falls asleep in the living room with the laptop still on. Virza was about to see how far the thesis that Safira had been working on but the laptop did not seem to respond to the cursor in motion.

“This laptop is broken?” he was confused to see this laptop as not working. Even when pressing the power button does not turn off the screen.

Seeing Sapphira wriggling in position makes Virza jerk and quickly put the laptop. Virza went to his room before Sapphira saw him.

The next day Sapphira left early.

“Lo already leaving?” ask Virza.

“Ya,” Safira replied with a sigh.

“Lo not breakfast first?” ask Virza.

“Ngak,” answered Safira briefly while passing by.

The atmosphere of the day of Sapphira was not okay. He felt annoyed when because some items in the store where he worked just disappeared. While working on his laptop thesis stopped halfway when his writing was not yet stored. This made Safira even more upset.

Arriving at the campus Safira looks very moody. Making Raka and the other two friends feel pity. Sasha tries to comfort Safira in helping out with Raka.

“Saf, nih brown,” Sasha said as she offered a pack of SilverKing chocolates to Safira.

“Thanks,” says Safira.

“Now, Ka. I'm on the same laptop. I've been ticking a lot from ten o'clock at night to twelve o'clock at night even suddenly the response of my laptop. Do it,” said Safira.

“Continue typing lo?” sahut Rafa is surprised to hear the story of Safira.

“Disappear, I can't either. Finally I just so until this morning,” explained Safira.

Raka feels sorry for Safira, she takes out her laptop and gives it to Safira.

“Lo use this only first, I use aja tab,” said Raka.

“No, Lo also need to do it yourself, Ka,” reject Safira.

“Gue still no papa laptop and tab too,” force Raka.

“Udahlah, Saf. You wear it. Later if it has become a new laptop lo backin,” said Sasha.

“No need to be returned. Lo use until the thesis lo finished aja,” said Raka.

Safira followed Sasha's advice. Currently he did not have much time to clear the thesis. Moreover, the operation of his father-in-law has been scheduled for him or three more months. So Sapphira in two months had to complete this thesis.if not even then it was at least eighty percent. So that when the operation was completed the father-in-law Safira was not too heavy to pursue his shortcomings.

Today, Sapphira gets a day off from her job. He went to Benny's house on a trans bus. Arriving at the Zhen family residence, Sapphira did not see the car that was usually lined up. However, Safira thought nothing. He thought his car was on service as usual.

“Loh, Non Safira here?” ask Mbok Ijah who used to help at the Benny Zhen family home.

“What's wrong, Mbok?”

“Pak Benny is in the hospital,” is obviously a middle-aged woman who is older than Safira's father-in-law.

“Since when?”

“Evennight, what is Tuan—“

“Which hospital?” tanya Safira who cut off the words of Mbok Ijah.

“Medika,” answer quickly the woman.

Safira Lekas ran to the front stop of the Eclipse housing complex. He stopped the passing taxi and headed for Medika hospital. Along the way he held back the tears that were already at the end of his eye peluk. His heart is relentless cursing for Virza who did not tell him.
