Can I borrow your womb?
May I Borrow Your Womb 44

We are already on the road. If it was late this afternoon surely this road will be jammed because it coincides with people coming home from work.

It took me about forty minutes to get to the hospital.

Raka helped me with the Dance kit. He also took my hand so he could walk quickly.

" Where is Adzam treated, Ka?"

" Four floors."

From a distance I saw the figure of a sad mama in the hug by Ririn. Next to Ririn was Hanum.

My steps are getting closer, "What happened to Mas Adzam,ma?"

Mama hugged me tightly, she was like she was hit with this incident.

I understand how you feel to see your son lying weakly in the ICU.

I can't imagine how the accident happened to send Mas Adzam to this hospital.

" Adzam's comma, Fi.." Again mama sobbed to tell the condition of Mas Adzam.

" Pray y ma so that mas Adzam is healthy and can be aware of his coma. If God wills then something good will happen." I tried to strengthen my mother when my own heart was very scared if she had to leave us all. How will Bintari be?

All of us here are sad because of Adzam, but I do not see the look of sadness on Hanum's face. What kind of woman is she? Had not all this time Mas Adzam fulfilled all his wishes.

I am sorry, truly sorry for having caused Mas Adzam to fall into the hell of the world. I am the cause.

We were all waiting in front of Adzam's treatment room. Prayer and remembrance are never separated from my words.

A nurse came to us.

" I'm sorry, which one is Afi's mom?"

For a moment I got up from my seat, "I'm a nurse."

"Sorry mother, please come inside, because the patient does not stop mentioning the name of the mother. Please don't bring her son in. Mom."

I nodded happily, mom carrying Bintari.

The nurse has left us. As I was about to go inside, my hand was pulled by Hanum,

" I'm also his wife, so I'm entitled to enter."

I threw his hand away, "Did Adzam say your name?" I asked him back.

Without waiting for the answer I immediately left it and went to meet Mas Adzam.

He said my name in his closed eyes. In the corner of his eyes were tears.

My heart saw Mas Adzam. I approached him, sitting next to his bed.

I held his hand, " Mas Adzam, this is Afi. You heard my voice, right?"

I spoke right in his ear, "I've come here with Bintari, our son." I paused every word I said. Even now my tears have fallen like a speck of rain.

" You must heal! There's Bintari, there's mama and there's a-me who loves you very much. Once you're healed, we'll start a new life as you requested, mas." My words started to sob.

" If I had known you would be like this, maybe I would have banned you from leaving that day. Maybe I'll agree to your request, too."

I'm like the one who lost the war. All I want right now is for Adzam to open his eyes.

" She, you heard my promise, If you get well, then I'll comply with your request, we'll start a new life with Bintari three."

After seeing Mas Adzam lying weak like this, gone was all my heartache on him. Even her sweet treatment these few weeks swirled around in my head. If I could read your mind, Dad.

After being satisfied chatting with Mas Adzam, I chose to go out and let the mas Adzam rest. I rubbed his wet eyes, and I kissed his forehead as a sign of parting for a moment.

I closed the door to Adzam's room.

" How, can Adzam see you?" Ask mom curious.

" Ma, we'll just do it.."

****

Ever since I got out of the hospital, I haven't seen Hanum, where has she been? When Adzam was sick like this, he left.

The night started coming, "Rin, you go home! Bring Bintari." My speech.

" Want to give formula milk?"

" Yes, Rin. All of this should be done for Mas Adzam. Mas Adzam husband mbak, it is appropriate to be filial to take care of Mas Adzam."

Finally, after consideration and discussion, mama, Raka, Ririn and Bintari finally came home while I myself stayed here to accompany Mas Adzam.

" Dear, good with aunt and grandma. I'm here to take care of you, doain let me get healthy fast." I kissed my beautiful baby.

" It's so bad you're Bintari." I stood looking back at Adzam from the glass door.

Tonight I couldn't sleep, I thought of Bintari. What's my son doing?

I banish the bad thoughts lodged in my head. I believe that Ririn and Mama are good people. They will definitely treat Bintari well as well. Moreover, Bintari is a child that we have long since his presence. Bintari is also a grandson who has been expected to come by his mother.

I decided to go downstairs, Tonight I want to find food to fill my thrashing middle village. From this afternoon I forgot to eat because I thought about Mas Adzam.

I got to the ground floor, I saw Hanum at the end of the street making out with a man who was much younger. I was secretly hiding behind a wall. They held on tight to the elevator.

Who's Hanum with? I don't know who that guy is. Is that his sister? Or even his brother. But there's no way they're overreacting like I see them.

You idiot! I patted my own forehead.

Why don't I think to take a video as proof that will be shown to mas Adzam if it is realized later.

Now I understand why Adzam wanted to come back to me. It's possible that Adzam had smelled Hanum's affair with the man.

" Pity you, my mother!"

My mind thinks of Adzam.

It should have been bad times like this because Adzam needed the support of me and Hanum.

I immediately ordered a pack of fried rice and a glass of hot sweet tea. After all I got I immediately went back to where Mas Adzam was being treated.

As I was about to enter the elevator, I met the young man who was with Hanum earlier. He stepped out, left this hospital.

I rushed into the elevator. Fear of something bad happening to Adzam.

I've reached Adzam's mas room, but I can't find Hanum here. Where's she?

I spontaneously opened the ward of Mas Adzam.

" Hanum?"

I looked at Hanum full of probing.

What will Hanum do to Adzam?

Without saying much Hanum went out dodging me.

Something is not right, before something bad happens, I have to ask Raka for help.

I quickly called Raka to come to the hospital.

Now I can breathe a little relieved because Raka is already on her way here.
