Widow of Two Children in Pinang Bujang
The Part 19
Hendra put his phone on a glass table in front of him after sending a message to Rahma that he could not go home today. Naira fever never healed even though it has decreased a little.
Afraid of anything happening, the plan is that he will take Naira back to the Doctor for a check-up. “Eat first mas. Here let's replace me with a fat.” Lia came and took over Naira from Hendra's arms.
Without saying much Hendra stepped towards the dining table and devoured his lunch quietly.
“Mas so go home to Jakarta?” Lia approached with Naira in her carriage.
“Gak. I told Rahma that today I didn't come home because Naira still has a fever.”
“Mba Rahma same kids must be disappointed mas. Sorry mas.” Said Lia with a regretful face.
“Why apologize. Naira's my son too, so it's only natural that I do this.” Said Hendra a little dislike Lia's words.
“Iya mas.” With a smile Lia nodded.
“I'm glad you changed mas.” In her heart Lia was grateful for the change of her husband because of this problem. If usually Hendra is more concerned with Rahma and her two children, now the man is more able to be fair.
After finishing her lunch, Hendra again carried Naira and allowed Lia to eat her lunch.

In the hot sun, the car driven by Hendra slid through the city streets. It only took them a few minutes to get to the hospital.
After the car was parked, they went down and stepped in. Lia approached the guard nurse while Hendra sat in the waiting chair with Naira. His butt just touched the chair, but Naira was whining. Maybe the baby is uncomfortable because of the many people.
“Sstt... Naira, it's okay son.” Hendra patted Naira's little ass when the baby calmed down. Before long Lia came and stroked Naira's back gently until the baby calmed down a little.
“Sit there aja.” Hendra stepped in following Lia.
“Mother Nita...” sounded one familiar name in Hendra's ear to make him turn his head.
“Mas...” call Lia makes Hendra who has not had time to see clearly the woman turned her eyes away.
“Ha? What?”
“Why you?”
“Gak nothing.”

Ting…!! The sound of an open elevator rang Nita's daydream. He quickly stepped in and stood at the corner side. “Nit..”
“Ha? Uh mr. Rian, sorry sir.”
“Why? Wasn't that a sick permit coming in again?” Seeing no good Rian initiative asked. Afraid of anything happening.
“Eh. Because the work is still a lot of fear not to pursue for Monday later.” Evidently. Which made Rian round his mouth without a sound.
“Hm?” Rian turned his gaze from the phone in his hand.
“I can ask?” Doubt Nita.
“What?”
“Em, Hendra sir here lives with his family or..”.
“Why? Not that you know that his family is in Jakarta.” Wonder Rian.
“What the hell sir just ask, who knows now already live here his family.” Ringis Nita's.
Rian just smiled without saying anything else to make Nita rethink who the woman who was with her superior earlier. Or maybe…
Flashback On :
Private Hospital…!!!
The iron chairs in the lobby seemed to be filled with patients and family members waiting for examination.
One of them is a pair of iatri husbands who choose to sit at the end and slightly blocked the pillar. “Still sick?” Ask the man.
“Still. But a little mengingan.” replied the woman with a weak voice. He closed his eyes while leaning his head on the man's shoulder.
The woman named Nita was waiting for a queue to be checked. His ulcer disease relapsed and could not be held at lunch in the office earlier.
From the direction of the hospital door, another couple seemed to step in with a baby in the man's arms. The wife looked towards the queue counter while the man sat in the front row of seats.
The sound of crying baby made Nita open her eyes. He glanced forward. A man seemed to try to ease the baby's cries with warm clothes in his carrier. Before long a woman was seen approaching and stroking the baby's back.
“Kasian..” murmured Nita felt pity. A little calmed down, the man turned around and sat back down to follow the woman.
Nita suddenly held her head up, the woman's eyes glared after clearly seeing the man who was holding the baby.
“Pak Hendra.” Mumbled shock.
“Yank you why?” Wonder of the husband.
“Ha? No...” ringis Nita. “Nothing yank.”
Nita turned back her head. His forehead shriveled as if he was thinking about something complicated. “Whose girl is it? As long as I'm Mr. Hendra here living alone. But.. kayak never saw tuh chick but where.”
Nita shook her head slowly trying to eliminate the negative thoughts in her brain. But his eyes could not be separated from the pair of humans. His curiosity could not be held.
Before long Nita's name was called nurse guard, making women have to be willing to leave the two people who make her curious. And when Nita stepped into the Doctor's room, Hendra had a glance for a moment but was then distracted by Lia's call.
