MY HUSBAND STROKED BUT DID NOT DIE
Chapter 29 THE FATHER IS IN THE HOSPITAL

My heart is beating faster. Very fast. Probably as fast as the speed of the car driven by Deni.

I'm getting tighter hugging Arka's arm. Yola I also saw holding on to the side of the seat. Our tense faces, adorned the next few minutes.

"Den, lower your speed! We've come a long way. And we can fuck Den!" said Arka with a loud voice. His hand held Deni's shoulder from behind.

Mas Deni also reduced the speed of the mobi little by little. Then marginalize the car. And stopped.

Mas Deni looked very shocked. He put his face on the wheel.

"Istighfar Den's. We are safe" said Mas Arka slowly. His hand patted Deni's shoulder.

"We're changing the driver bro. You calm yourself in the back" said Mas Arka again. Deni nodded as well. Then he got out of the car, followed by Yola. We also changed positions.

Mas Arka started to drive his car slowly. Even if I knew, he would still be in shock. But Arka tried to calm down.

I glanced a little backwards. I saw the face of Deni , who was sitting behind Arka's mas, still tense. Yola hugged him from the side.

We went on a long journey, in silence. Without anyone opening their voice. Until we start to get on the highway. Then we can breathe with relief.

"Pelan-pelan aja mas" I said to the Arka mas. He also nodded.

"Mas, if there is a rest area, we stop first huh? I peed kebelet" I continued. Before long, there was a rest area, the car was on the turn there.

Arriving at the rest area, I asked Arka to take me to the toilet. I said I don't want to stay. Afraid just in case that 'person' suddenly appeared here.

We continue our journey again. After all completing the needs in the toilet, and a short coffee to eliminate drowsiness.

Mas Arka who usually does not drink coffee, ordered coffee. Even I see, Deni mas buy cigarettes in a minimarket. And they start sucking it.

I'm not protesting. Things that really shock us. Yola and I chose another table. We ordered hot chocolate, to relax the brain.

Along the way, I chose to sleep. It seems that Yola is also asleep. We're starting to calm down.

I heard sayup-sayup, mas Arka and mas Deni chatting, before I actually fell asleep.

I don't know what they're talking about. Because I'm already very sleepy, so I can't listen well.

When I got home, Yola and I woke up. Thank God, I finally got home.

After we took out each other's things, we went into each other's homes.

I want to clean the body immediately, keep laying down. Although the whole trip was able to fall asleep, but it still feels very sleepy.

We fell asleep, with Arka holding me tight. Lost was the fear that had accompanied our journey home.

Tomorrow afternoon we intend to go to the parents' house Arka. Last night we slept too well, until we woke up. Mas Arka also asked permission to his office, could not leave work today. Maybe he's still tired.

I've prepared gifts for my two in-laws. That's a lot too. We also immediately went there.

Up there, the house looks quiet. I don't see my father or mother-in-law. Indeed, we deliberately did not give the news first, if we now want to come.

Because we don't want you to bother providing food for us. And it looks like they, too, don't know that we're home.

Tumben closed house door. Unlike usual, when we came, the door was already wide open.

Mas Arka tapped him and said hello. Before long, the door opened. Bi Sumi, the maid who opened it.

"Where's mom bi?" ask me Arka. Bi Sumi looked confused to answer him.

Twice, Arka asked him. And finally bi Sumi explained with stammering eyes and gloomy face, if the father was taken yesterday afternoon to the hospital. Mom said you have to be hospitalized.

We were very surprised to hear that. Because all this time, you look fine. Bi Sumi did not want to explain the cause. Either because I really don't know, or how.

Finally, Arka immediately contacted my mother's mobile number. After getting the answer, we immediately went to the hospital.

We got there soon. Because the location of the hospital is not too far from the mother's house.

I saw my father drooping weakly on the bed, with his hands on the drip. And also a breathing apparatus.

We're approaching mom soon. Mom was crying, in the arms of Arka.

I was silent, looking at the father who was still closing his eyes. Then find a chair to sit on.

"Why didn't you tell us?" ask me Arka.

I replied, because I thought we were still in London. And I don't want us to panic. Afraid of why on the road.

Mother also explained, yesterday afternoon, suddenly my father complained of shortness of breath. Mother told father to sleep first. But said mother asphyxiated increasingly become. Until I had trouble breathing.

Before anything worse happened, the mother immediately asked the neighbors to take the father to the hospital. Using my father's car. Because I can't drive.

Arriving at the hospital, he was immediately treated at IGD. And father in need of hospitalization.

Poor mother, I thought. While we were having fun, the mother instead had to be confused to take care of the father in the hospital.

Oops. If it happened yesterday afternoon, it means when we are experiencing tension on the road. Due to many obstacles on the road. Until we meet again with that scary 'person.

Why can it happen together? What does all this mean? I wondered to myself in my heart.

I was afraid something bad was happening to us. Like when I had to lose both my parents. And my grandmother too.

At that time, before my loved ones came home, I often experienced strange events. I try to get rid of my negative thoughts.

I also tried to forget about those events. Although the truth is hard to forget.

The mother who had spilled all her sorrow on the Arka mas, turned to me. I got up from my seat, and hugged my mother-in-law.

Mom hugged me tight. Real tight. Like she wanted to shed all her sadness.

Mom asked about my womb. I replied, everything is fine. Mom also asked how our holiday was in Jogja.

Me and Arka stared for a moment. Then Arka replied, We really enjoyed our vacation. In fact we bought a lot of souvenirs, which we left at the mother's house.

Without telling the extraordinary events, along the way to go and go home.
