When Love Should Determine
Chapter 71

In the evening, Hamzah drove Larissa to seek alternative medicine at the home of Uwak Sodiq, the same place where she studied kebatinan and practiced martial arts so far.

There Larissa diruqyah first by Uwak Sodiq. then he closed his eyes while the mouth komat-kamit chanting prayers that do not know what. When he finished, he asked Larissa to show him where the lump was.

Without any prejudice Larissa also shows where the prison is located. Uwak Sodiq also rubbed the top of Larissa's chest where the lump was located and pulled it up and threw it on the ground, as if he threw something from Larissa's body.

"Try now you're palpating your own chest. You see, whether the lump is still the same or has shrunk."

Larissa also complied with Uwak Sodiq's request to feel his own chest. "Still the same, Uwak."

Uwak Sodiq frowned. "No change at all?."

"Yes, uwak. It's true there's no change."

"Oh, maybe because it's only been one time. So there has been no change at all" he said. "Try here! Let me repeat it again."

Uwak sodiq also did another ritual that he did earlier. Larissa was silent because she did not understand what she was doing. He was completely confused and did not understand the way this was done.

Back Uwak sodiq rubbed Larissa's chest as he had done earlier after finishing chanting prayers. Then he threw his hand on the ground. This time he made this move not just once, but many times.

After performing the ritual, he took a breath repeatedly, his breath was boring as if he had just released a heavy burden. "After this I will make a potion for you. Later at home you pour the herb all over the body" he said.

"Yes, Owak!" answer Larissa briefly.

Uwak Sodiq went inside. After a while he came out again while carrying a potion in his hand. "Here, fetch! Run it all over your body before you go to sleep. Remember that! do not forget to read the bismillah before doing it" he said while offering the herb.

Larissa received the potion. "Yes, Uwak. Thank you very much! I will do as Uwak said before" he said.

"May you be immediately healed by God.

Larissa guaranteed Uwak Sodiq's speech with all her heart.

After the ritual of treatment, Uwak Sodiq invited Hamzah to talk about several things.

Larissa was silent and a loyal listener because she did not understand what they were talking about.

The night is getting late. Larissa invited her husband to come home. Moreover, his daughter who was also with them had fallen asleep.

"Yes, one minute! I paid my respects to Uwak Sodiq" Hamzah said.

Hamzah walked over to Uwak Sodiq who was busy watching the children who were practicing martial arts in his padepokan. "Sorry!" said polite.

Hearing his name called, Uwak Sodiq turned his back. "Eh, Hamza. What's up?."

"I'm sorry to go home first, Uwak. The night is getting late. Pity my son to fall asleep."

"Eh, yes, please!"

Hamzah reached out his hand, intending to give a sticky greeting. "This, Uwak. Please accept."

"Yes, I accept."

"I'm sorry then."

Uwak Sodiq nodded his head. And Hamzah and Larissa also passed away from the house of Uwak Sodiq.

...****************...

At home, Larissa immediately prepared to go to bed after putting her child in her own room. But before that he took the time to pour the potion given by Uwak Sodiq earlier.

Not yet had Larissa's hand touched the potion, Hamzah had already seized it. "Here, let me get that potion into your body."

Feeling bad for her husband, Larissa reclaimed the potion. "No need, Entik. I can do it myself."

"But, Entik...."

"Enough! I don't want to be disputed anymore. Let me do this for you."

Larissa was silent, not daring to argue with her husband again. Moreover, he had already said so.

Larissa turned her back to her husband. Slowly Hamzah poured the potion into his wife's body with gentleness.

Hamzah deliberately did this to show how much he still cares and cares about his wife. He is the one who suggested this alternative treatment.

Larissa was touched by the attention given by her husband. She only realized that her husband was still so caring and affectionate to her.

Larissa enjoys a gentle touch of Hamzah. She was lulled, for a long time she had not felt this gentle touch from her husband. Especially after the many problems that occurred between them.

"Well, done. Now you're sleeping, yeah!" hamzah said after Larissa's entire body had been leveled with the potion.

Larissa breaks the body. Hamzah covered his body to the extent of his chest. "Good night. Have a good sleep. I want to clean my hands first" he said. A kiss he landed on Larissa's forehead.

Larissa nodded, then closed her eyes. Not long ago a soft snoring sounded from his lips.

Seeing that his wife had fallen asleep, Hamzah came out and closed the door.

...****************...

In the middle of the night Larissa woke up, she felt like her whole body was burning with a burning fire. He flung the blanket that covered his body and raised the flame of the fan and pointed it at his body. But in fact the flame of the fan is not able to reduce the heat.

Larissa put the body back together. Then roll over here and there in the hope that the heat in his body can be slightly reduced. "Actually what was the potion made of? Why does my body feel like it's burning like this?

Larissa smelled his body to find out. From his body he smelled the scent of ginger mixed with gas oil. " Why is there a smell of ginger and gas oil from my body? Was the potion made from these two ingredients?

Not wanting to just be prejudiced, Larissa immediately woke up Hamzah who was beside her to find out. "Entik, wakeup!" he said while shaking the body of the husband.

Hamzah wriggling. Slowly he opened his eyes. "What's wrong? Why did you wake me up in the middle of the night?."

"Entik, I'd like to ask you. Do you know what ingredients were used to make the potion earlier."

"Yes, I know!."

"Please tell me what the ingredients are."

"The ingredients are grated ginger, yeast, balsam, and mixed with a little gas oil."

Larissa was shocked half-dead to hear her husband's answer. "What?? So it turns out that my guess was right that the potion was made from ginger and gas oil?."

"Why indeed?" asked Hamzah while squinting.

"You know what, right now my whole body feels like it's on fire."

Hamza smiled at his wife's words. "You don't have to worry. The potion was indeed made to destroy all the diseases in your body. That's why you feel like your whole body is burning."

"But I'm not strong with this heat, Entik."

"That's it!. You just sleep again. The heat you feel will disappear by itself."

"But, Entik...."

"That's it. It's still night. We better get some more sleep."

Larissa kept quiet and chose to obey her husband. He broke down and pretended to close his eyes.

Thinking his wife had fallen asleep again, Hamzah also closed his eyes. Without realizing it last night, Larissa could not sleep because of the heat she felt.
