The Ugly Wife's
Followed

The morning sunlight that entered through the slightly open window of the room, hit Eden's face, making the man slowly open his two eyes.

The familiar white ceiling of the room greeted him, making Eden immediately circulate his gaze around the room.

Hospitals. He is now in the hospital guess Eden, so finished with his observation. But who? Who brought him to this place?

Because if it was Elina, then it felt impossible. From childhood, the girl was always desperate to do something dangerous when angry. But to be able to confess all his actions, Elina never dared.

Elina even prefers to look for a scapegoat to blame, rather than having to admit and end up getting punished for all her grievances.

But if it was Elina who brought Eden to the hospital because she was worried about the condition of the man, then Eden felt very grateful, because it was a sign Elina had changed a lot.

The proudly engraved smile clearly glimmered Eden as she thought of that possibility. But everything changed when Eden felt something was oppressing his hand.

When he turned his gaze to the hand, Eden saw the face of Asyifa who was sound asleep in a sitting position beside the hospital bed, where she lay.

"Ashypha? What is he doing here, why would he choose to sleep in such an uncomfortable position?" eden muttered confused.

"That's because he was very worried about your situation, and even insisted on staying with you here and not coming home" replied Zidan, who had just come out of the toilet in Eden's nursery.

"How come? How can you two be here and see me? What was it because she was so worried, that Elina had consciously admitted her mistake and told me that I was being treated here to you and to Asyifa?"

"What was worried about, the crazy woman was even thinking about her freedom, when your body was lying unconscious in a drenched state" Zidan sneered.

"Ah, it turns out that the nature and habits are still the same as before. When I fell into a tub full of water and almost lost consciousness, I thought about how worried Elina would be for me. But it turns out that all of that is useless at all" said Eden sadly, while covering his face with a free hand.

"I think maybe he was worried about your condition at the time, too. But not as much as his fear of thinking will be reported to the authorities, and also go to jail for all his mistakes to you"

"Well, he's always been like that since we were kids. Always doing dangerous acts and also reckless in a bad mood, but never want to get punished for all that"

"Have you two ever been best friends?" ask Zidan curiously.

"Not really. But I protected her from my mother's crimes, because she actually had a special feeling for her"

"I love her? Is that also why you didn't want Asyifa and me to know that you recognized her the first time she came to the parlor, and claimed to be your nurse?" inevitably, Zidan felt a little surprised.

"If I'm asked if I still like it until now, maybe my answer is a little. But if I'm asked why I didn't say I recognized her then, the answer is because I felt so guilty about her, about Elisha's death as my mother's last victim"

"Why? Didn't you agree that you were also the victim of all your mother's crimes? It's not like you if Elisha has to die a terrible death, so why feel guilty?"

"The color of Elina left Elisha to me. Elina says, after she succeeds with her current job in the city, and also if she has successfully married her boyfriend, she will soon pick up Elisha so that she can live happily with him"

"OK, I understand that you feel guilty for being given the mandate to look after Elisha, but you also have a life of your own, and cannot possibly keep an eye on Elisha at all times" Zidan protested, still don't want Eden to feel guilty.

"All your words have a point, if only I had not known of all the plans of Elisha's murder. But in reality, I knew and also witnessed it myself with both of my eyes! It always makes me feel guilty for Elisha and for all the victims"

Hearing Eden's explanation, Zidan who was not in the position but could feel what kind of feelings Eden who was shackled with guilt, fell silent without knowing what to say.

I wanted Zidan to say something that would alleviate all the guilt, or remove it from the man's heart.

But a reality slapped him, that it couldn't possibly be done. Because the thing that can make it real, is to change Eden's destiny not to be born by a woman who is now his mother.

In that long, uncomfortable silence, a touch that suddenly touched Eden's hand, immediately broke the rain.

Asyifa, the woman had now lifted her face and was looking at the gentle face of Eden with a beautiful smile adorning her lips.

"Ashifa, are you awake? Did you wake up because you heard my voice and Zidan's brother speaking?" eden asked, looking a little unwell.

"No. I have been awake since, just lazy to lift my head to see you two. Do you mind if I hold your hand?"

"If I'm not at all a problem, but maybe the one who feels the problem is brother Zidan, Asyifa. Aren't you afraid of Zidan's anger later?"

"I don't think Zidan will be angry, because he also certainly knows that this is a touch as a support for you"

"Support?"

"Yes, support. I don't think it matters if you want to put guilt on Elisha and all the victims in your heart. But enough in a reasonable time, because like a person who is mourning in a death, your life also needs time to start a new page"

Unknowingly, a set of tears swirled down the face of Eden. For some reason, upon hearing all of Asyifa's words just now, the man's heart felt a little loose.

Not loose because the guilt has been reduced, but because all of those feelings have been taught to be able to stay for a while there.

Zidan who saw it, immediately became a little understood the feelings of Eden. Perhaps compared to a word of entertainment that said he was not guilty at all of those events, Eden needed more recognition of the guilt that was holding him back.

"Thank you Asyifa, thank you. Thank you for supporting me to feel guilty for all of them, I promise I will not hold it for too long" said Eden Haru.

"sama-sama Eden. Take as much time as you need, but if it's time to release it, then you should let it go"

A warm embrace, Ashifa gave Eden as a cover for all the support she had just given. Zidan who always watched the interaction of the two, did not want to miss and joined in embracing Eden as well as Ashifa.

"Geez, did I come at the wrong time to check on the state of the patient in this room?" ask a voice from the door of the room.

"Ah, doctor. Turns out it's time Eden had to be checked? Forgive me and also Zidan, who hampered the doctor's duties" said Asyifa released a hug from Eden.

Zidan who hugged after Asyifa was forced to do the same thing as his fiancee, and let the doctor immediately check the condition of Eden.

"It's all right, Asyifa. Patients like Mr. Eden, it really needs a lot of attention and support from the people closest to him. But may I check it out now?"

"Of course doc"

Asyifa and Zidan chose to walk away a little from Eden's bed, in order to make enough room for the man who works as a doctor.

For a while no one spoke because he was busy looking at every movement of the examination that the doctor made against Eden. Asyifa and Zidan waited anxiously.

"Thankfully, it turns out that the condition of Mr. Eden has improved from yesterday when he came to this hospital. Hopefully in a few more days, Eden sir can go home"

"Either. Then, excuse me for checking on another patient" said the doctor, leaving Eden's room.

*****

Ever since Eden was taken to the hospital by Asyifa and the others, Elina who never got word of what was going to happen to her, became even more crazy.

The girl even locked all the doors of her house, and also completely turned off her cell phone. Even at the arrival of her boyfriend, Elina stayed inside and did not want to go out.

Tidying up her messy house, and also cleaning herself was not able to do, because her brain kept thinking about how her fate would be.

"No, I can't keep quiet in a house like this. I could die from stress!" muttered Elina.

Still in her hospital uniform, Elina grabbed a cell phone and a bag containing several important items, then walked out of the house.

Well, Elina intends to find where Asyifa and her current friends are. Before leaving, Elina visited a car rental place not far from her home.

"Elina, what's going on here? Do you want to rent a car again like before?" greet a man, who seems to be the owner of the place.

"Yes brother. I want to rent the same car I rented before. But this time, it might take a while. Can it?"

"Of course you can, as long as you can also pay it according to the price. If you may know, how long do you want to rent it?"

"Sunday. For the payment, I'll transfer it through my account, so you don't have to worry"

"alright. I'll have my workers take the car out right now" said the man, as he walked away.

Soon, the man returned in a black car driven by another man, who looked like a worker there.

After receiving payment from Elina in his account, the man gave the keys to the black car to Elina to be taken away.

"Thank you brother. I'll definitely bring the car back after the lease is up"

"Yes, you're Elina. Oh yes one more, please do not use the car for something dangerous well, for example like committing criminal acts. Okay?"

Although always hearing that remark from the owner of the rental place when going to rent a car, but for some reason now when he heard it again, made Elina feel a little upset.

Maybe because the girl really wants to use the car to do things that are not far from the words of the car owner, so it makes her feel like that.

"Just calm down, brother, that would be impossible for me to do. I will have to keep my good name as the girlfriend of a rich man" Elina replied grandly jokingly.

"Hahahaha, this is your base. Everyone in this neighborhood has also known that you will soon be married and become rich. Well, just use it as you want"

"Okay, thanks again"

After the chat, Elina got into the car and passed away from there while holding back the annoyance that was still in her heart.

Feeling safe from people's vision, Elina pulled out her phone and began to see the location of one more tracking device she had installed to watch over Asyifa and Zidan, as well as her second friends.

"It's a good thing they didn't let go of this tracking device, so for a while I just kept an eye on it until I was able to get the exact address of the hospital where Eden was being treated" Elina dropped out, having no other choice.

At high speed, he took the car towards a fairly luxurious apartment building, to start carrying out his plans.

An hour, two hours, up to five hours passed, but none of Elina's progress could be made from her efforts to be there.

At exactly 8 p.m., a movement was seen on the screen of his phone, that the car fitted with a tracking device was walking out of the parking lot.

Without wasting any more time, Elina immediately started her own car and started following the car, as it walked past.

"Hopefully their aim is to go to the place where Ashifa and Eden are" Elina said expectantly.

But in the end, only disappointment was obtained by Elina. Because the two girls he had been following with great difficulty since earlier, only wanted to go to a cafe to find dinner.

Maybe that's what Elina thinks, but what really happened is, Angel and Mira deliberately chose to stop at the cafe, because they realized that both are being followed by someone.

"Is it true the car's following us, Ra?" ask Angel worriedly.

"Surely he's following us. Just look, the car also stopped right behind your car"

"But, he could have had the goal to come to this cafe, and not follow us. I think you're just being too sensitive"

"No way Angel. If this cafe was the destination of his trip since then why didn't he get out of the car and get in here like the two of us?"

"Or could he have stopped for a moment to call an acquaintance? Because I'm often like that too" Angel guessed again, trying to stay positive.

"Well, let's just say he's not following us. But to be more sure, how about we make sure that's further?"

"How?"

"We ordered the food we wanted to eat, then went back to the apartment and did not go to the hospital to visit Eden. If he doesn't follow us back to the apartment, it's true he's not following us. But if the opposite happens, then my guess is right" proposed Mira cleverly.

"May too"

The two men began ordering the menu they wanted to take home to the apartment, then walked out of the cafe as usual.

While engrossed in storytelling and occasionally laughing, the two got back in the car and prepared to leave from there.

Sure enough, when Angel turns on the car and takes it out onto the highway, the car suspected of following the two also does the same.

"Damn it! Just look what I'm gonna do to the driver, when we get to the front of the apartment building!" mira said annoyed, because her guess was right.

Seriate...
