Husband Does Not Know Himself
Deep Talk
Riana is still in her room, along with Rifa, Ardian's sister and also Ardian's mother. Her brother-in-law and father each went to work.
“Have lunch?” Ask Ardian to Riana.
Riana only shook her head weakly, her eyes focused only on one point, watchful and empty.
“You?” Ask Ardian to everyone there.
They all just stared at Ardian, giving no answer. Ardian understood, where they had eaten while waiting for Riana whose condition could not be said to be fine.
“Eat in the cafeteria, I'll take care of Riana” Ardian said giving him one big plastic meal he had bought on his way to the hospital.
After the door closed, Ardian approached Riana.
“Do not want to eat?” Tanya Ardian smooth.
Riana shook her head, her sadness was still overwhelming.
“Can't be so, just eat a little. Let me bribe, don't torture yourself for too long, your mama is obviously worried and doesn't like” Ardian said.
The man brought the food that was prepared by the hospital, and fed Riana.
After being persuaded in such a way, Riana was finally willing to swallow the food, although it was not good but, it was fine.
“Later what dinner would you like? Want me to buy it outside the hospital?” Ask Ardian.
In order to give something new, Ardian had also consulted with doctors before that Riana was allowed to consume food from outside the hospital with some restrictions.
“Whatever can?” Ask Riana.
“Of course, as long as you do not violate the doctor's restrictions, you still can not eat fried foods, fast food, spicy foods, sweet foods are also masil have not been able to” said Ardian, mention some foods that Riana could not consume for a while.
Riana seemed to think for a moment, actually she was not so happy to eat. Like his brain is full enough just to think about food.
“I will eat what has been provided by the hospital just” replied Riana.
Riana nodded but, yes where can she close her eyes despite being forced.
Ardian was still sitting next to Riana's bed, stroking the girl's hair slowly, letting out warmth and calmness from there.
“Thanks” Mumbles Riana.
“It has been my duty to fulfill the promise to take care of you” Sahut Ardian.
Riana was silent for a moment, a few seconds felt so quiet.
“You no longer need to take care of me, you promised the boy but, now he's gone. Focus on yourself, sorry if I trouble you so much” said Riana.
The woman felt guilty with Ardian, the time that Ardian had spent all this time felt so futile for Riana. It is also a pity that if the man has to continue to take care of him who is a nobody, it may be one of the traumas and fears to start a new relationship, aside from differences in confidence between the two.
“I'm the one who should be sorry, I failed to take care of you completely” Ardian said.
Both of them were busy with their respective thoughts, both feeling guilty for the other.
“But, isn't keeping me a burden, Ar?” Ask Riana.
“Of course not, I like to help you, I like to be bothered by you, I also prefer if you turn out like I help, without the need to feel like this’ Ardian said.
The man was still stroking the long black mane in front of him.
“Don't you also have to keep looking for a better partner?” Riana Sahut.
“Then let my Lord give you his best path for me and you” said Ardian, he would not force if Riana would not want to enter into his trust later. Although in her little heart, I really hope that Riana can change her mind someday.
“You know, I'm still focused on my career. Let's both improve and meet in the best version of each” continued Ardian.
Riana fell silent, pangs with the words Ardian conveyed.
“Rest, you must recover immediately for the trial of the indictment two more weeks” Ardian said diverting the conversation.
