VEILED WOMEN (BEST WIFE AND MOTHER)
21

Annisa was paying administrative fees, because Fatimah was allowed to go home no need to stay overnight, just need to rest at home.

When he finished paying, he walked to meet Humaira and Fatimah, but his steps stopped when he heard the voice of a little boy he knew, he was sure it was the sound of Syifa crying.

He turned to the side and looked to his left, not too close there was Syifa who was crying, struggling to escape from his oma.

Her crying sounded very sad.

He hurriedly approached those who were focused on Syifa.

"Syifa why?" annisa asked worriedly and now it was standing right near them.

Syifa stopped struggling when she heard Annisa's voice, she looked at Annisa's face with a face that had been soaked by tears. He didn't answer his aunt's question.

"Syifa had a stomachache again, and had to be infused but she didn't want to" Ms. Janeta who answered the question, she didn't expect Annisa to be here either, as soon as she felt she had a savior.

Annisa looked at Syifa pale face, her forehead full of sweat and falling mixed with tears.

Syifa cried again while pressing on her sick stomach, Annisa immediately took it from Janeta's sling, "Sama aunt Nisa first," Annisa felt sorry for Bu Janeta who was overwhelmed because Syifa was struggling in her arms.

"Infused not sick really, Aunt Nisa want to not?" annisa asked while persuading Syifa while wiping Syifa tears and also sweat on her forehead.

"No, infused with pain," Syifa refused still crying

"No pain, later when Syifa was infused, Syifa sat on the lap of Aunt Nisa. Want huh?" talk Annisa down slowly.

Syifa kept shaking a few times.

"Later if it hurts, Syifa just bite Aunt Nisa's hand so we are both sick" said Annisa

Syifa looked at Annisa's arm, where could she bite her aunt Nisa's arm, but because with this aunt, she nodded doubtfully.

Janeta smiled and immediately invited Annisa to the nursery they had occupied before Syifa ran out. The nurse who was with Janeta and Syifa also followed.

They went in, the female doctor was still there.

Annisa sat on the patient's bed holding Syifa and coaxed her with some remarks, she also helped rub Syifa's stomach, her usual round stomach now like a plank.

He laid Syifa down slowly and sat down nearby while continuing to rub her stomach.

Reyhan and Pramana ran over and immediately searched their room, they entered in a panic but Reyhan came to a halt when he saw Annisa holding Syifa as Syifa was about to be infused.

Janeta looked towards Pramana and Reyhan who had just come, both of them standing by the door like people in shock.

Syifa grimaced with the pain as the doctor began to look for veins and stuck needles.

Annisa patted Syifa to calm down, "Just hurt for a while, Syifa is a smart child," she said unconsciously if anyone looked at her from near the door.

"Already," said the doctor with a smile, this child is not rebellious as before so easy to handle it.

"Because it's still weak so, break it!" Annisa took a tissue and cleaned Syifa's entire face.

Nurse slows down the path of infusion water.

The doctor and nurse left after it was over.

"Tante Nisa stay here huh!" pinta Syifa is still a little bitter.

Annisa turned her head back towards Syifa's face which was clearly visible if she refused her crying would break again.

"Alright, but Aunt Nisa said it was the same for Humaira. Aunty out first can ya?" annisa

"But promise to come here again" Syifa said

Annisa nodded and immediately wanted to come out, she looked back when she was leaving, she was a little surprised when she saw that Mr. Pramana and Reyhan were already there. He walked away past Reyhan and his Papa who both pulled over to make way for him, he lowered his head as he passed through the two.

After she left, Reyhan approached Syifa sitting next to her daughter while patting the sleepy Syifa.

Pramana was sitting on the sofa with his wife staring at the two.

I foolishly rejected this near-perfect woman, Syifa needed a mother like Annisa, but I had hurt her a few years ago - a mind Reyhan still patting his daughter but his mind was wandering.

"What are you thinking?" ask her mother when she sees her daydreaming.

Reyhan woke up from his daydream when he heard his mother's voice.

"There is no Ma" Reyhan said as long as he answered and refocused on wiping his daughter.

"You must be thinking about how sorry you were for rejecting him first, right?" pramana said as if she could read Reyhan's mind. He is also a man so he knows what is on a man's mind when facing a woman he rejected but turned out to be very good.

Reyhan was just silent but from his face it was clear what his father said was right.

"We used to choose him because we knew he would be the best wife for you, even though he was still at that time" said Ms. Janeta, although she did not get to see Annisa first but she was sure that Annisa could be a good wife as well as Aisyah ma'am.

"Yes Mama's right, she can be a good wife, but if the matchmaking happened, Syifa can't be there now, so I can't regret what happened before" Reyhan said

Reyhan looked towards Syifa who was already asleep.

Her mother and father also felt that Reyhan's words were right, without Denada perhaps Syifa would not be with them, God had his own way, and he had his own way, maybe because Reyhan used to be a little naughty so God did not bring him to meet good women like Annisa but brought him up with bad women as well as Denada.

Hopefully this time after he gets better then his wife will also be a good person.

They stopped talking for fear of waking Syifa who was sound asleep.

Annisa helps Humaira's ustadzah get Fatimah into the car. Fatimah's body was still a little weak so it still had to be held tightly when getting into the car.

"Please tell Mom and Dad that Nisa's in the hospital waiting for Syifa" Annisa told Humaira.

Humaira nodded and left.

Annisa returned to the hospital and walked to Syifa's ward. He knocked on the door with a greeting, all of them answered Annisa's greeting while turning towards the door that had been opened.

He walked in slowly and closed the door again.

"Wheens are asleep, let's sit here first" Janeta said

"Yes, Ma'am, while waiting for Dzuhur's time as well" said Annisa

"Later to pray in the hospital mosque only," said Pramana.

"Yes sir" said Annisa, who is currently focusing on Syifa in bed.
