Bitter Tongue In-Law
25. An Uneasy Situation


That morning, Bian walked through the corridor of the Hospital with a tent of food. He deliberately came early in the morning to be able to give the food he cooked himself to both parents Nuna. Hearing the news that both of his parents wanted to chat with him made Bian a little nervous. Although actually in outline their conversation later was definitely about Nuna and her husband still it made her heart not calm.


When he arrived at the door of Nuna's room in the care, suddenly nervousness approached him more severe, coupled with the memory as he rubbed slowly the top of Nuna's head just appeared.


The hand he had placed on the doorknob finally came back. His body he removed to lean against the wall while closing his eyes and regulating his breathing. Just talk for a minute and go why be so nervous? Thought in the heart.


Tok tok tok tok


Bian knocked on the door of the room still with his pale face. Not long ago, the door was pulled back. A 47-year-old woman greeted Bian with a friendly smile.


"Good morning, Mom. I'm Bian." Bian lowered his head slightly to say hello, a second later he thrust his hand to shake his hand. The gesture was welcomed by Ms. Nuna.


"Yes, Nuna after telling me about you last night. Please come in."


With his heart pounding still lingering, Bian brought his body in. He saw Nuna's father standing up from the sofa to greet her arrival.


"So this is Bian?"


Friendly, that was the impression obtained from Nuna's father in Bian's eyes. The man just nodded while curling his lips.


"Oh, yeah. I brought you guys breakfast. I cook by myself." Bian handed the medium-sized box to Ms. Nuna.


"Well, it's troublesome. Thank you, yeah."


Nuna's mother sat down and opened the box she had placed on the table. He distributed the rice along with the full side dishes to several containers to eat together.


Bian sat right facing Nuna. Although there were a few steps from his bed, still he could see Nuna clearly without a hitch. He prefers to stare at the floor while trying to cover up his nervousness.


"Mom, it looks good. I want to" whispered Nuna to her mother, who was busy sharing food.


The location of the small table right next to Nuna's head made the woman easily smell the aroma of Bian's cooking. He had once eaten the man's cooking, and indeed the cooking was as delicious as it smelled.


"Yes, I'll take it. Mom, just take this to them first."


"Ah no, Mom. I've eaten," said Bian when given a plate of rice that he had brought.


Nuna's mother wanted to persuade Bian to keep eating even a little, wouldn't it feel bad if his family only enjoyed the food while he didn't? However, he had not yet completed his persuasion sentence, one of the sisters came in and called Bian.


Finally inevitably the three of them had breakfast together with opened praise from Nuna's father.


"I'll be home after what I've targeted I've achieved, Dad. I'm calm, I'm fine here, I can take care of myself. You and I don't have to worry."


"It's not just about you, Nuna, but soon you'll have children. You need a friend to take care of your child. If you focus on taking care of your child, you can't meet your needs, but if you focus on meeting your needs, who will take care of your child? Think that! Same mother Dad also can not be here continue, later your sister how?"


"Look at Ma'am, after this let me just go back to the village. Mom's here with Nuna. Yes at will, until the baby Nuna later can be taken a long trip. There's no way we're leaving him here alone. We will do what Nuna wants. Later if what he wants has been realized, he can go home calmly as well. Don't think of anything because the business here is done."


"What is Nizar's father? Who's taking care of it?"


"Mom doesn't know Dad, I can do it all. I'm calm, I'm focused here with Nuna. Don't think Dad's with Nizar, if Mom's mind is branching, then even the mother's own soy sauce, sick, even so more runyam."


Finally after a moment of silence to think of the best, the three blood-bonded humans agreed to what the head of the family was known to be patient and affectionate in his family.


Not long after, Bian returned with a face that was not as pale as before.


"Bian, what business did the nurse have to call you what about administration? Just tell me how much money you have to pay."


"No, Sir. This was only told that Nuna had actually entered the time of giving birth, and if there was no response from the baby Nuna. Will be followed up with surgery. That's it, and this. It's a letter of declaration that Nuna's husband must sign." Bian handed me a paper.


"Here, let the Father sign. Then for administration?"


"I've taken care of it, sir. Later you just pay off the cost of Nuna giving birth and after that."


"Nuna's not your responsibility, Bian. I'll change, just tell me how much!"


"No need sir, I did this too because Nuna helped my sister from an accident. I'm willing to help, I just want to help. I do not intend to offend or other intentions. So I hope you and Mom can accept my return."


Nuna was, of course, overwhelmed by what Bian did. He felt like he could not receive this much kindness from the man.


"Dad, I can go home now and give birth in a midwife. I'm sure I can give birth to a normal." Nuna did not want to trouble everyone, she already felt very useless this time.


"Don't! In your case, there are many procedures to go through. The doctor said he will induce you first, if there is no improvement, you will be operated on. Just imagine if you were taken to the midwife, if the midwife could not handle you, still the ends will be taken to the hospital. So please, stay here." Bian reflexes showed his attention as before.


All the humans who were there were silent for a while including Bian. The two parents who were there looked at each other as if they were asking the same question. While Bian immediately let out a sweat on his forehead.


"Can we talk now, Bian? We're talking outside." Nuna's father walked out of the room first.
