Not the Perfect Son-in-law
Chapter 42. The Heart that Continues to Be Hurt

Chapter 42

Although there was chaos at Alika's wedding, it did not make the newlyweds sad. Bimo and Alika go straight to the hotel and spend a hot night there.

Ruqoyah felt a great pain in her head. This is because he is too forced to rest even insist on being present at Alika's wedding. Not to mention he forgot to take his medicine. Though Hafsah has often reminded his in-laws to eat and take medicine. However, ignored by him.

"Aaaaa, pain .. O Allah!" ruqoyah shouted at midnight.

Hafsah and Ali who were sleeping immediately woke up to hear the middle-aged woman's scream. They rushed towards the lower floor where Ruqoyah's room was located.

"Mom, what's wrong?" ask Ali with worry.

The man held his mother's hand holding the head whose wound was spitting out blood seeping on the bandage. As much as Ali's energy held Ruqoyah's hand.

"Mom, hold on. I'll treat the wound" Hafsah said as he tried to open a bandage filled with blood. 

"It hurts .. it hurts so much!" ruqoyah.

Hafsah saw blood coming out of the stitches in his head. Afraid of infection, they decide to take Ruqoyah to the hospital.

Ali immediately took Ruqoyah to the ER to get treatment quickly. Especially at midnight and there is only one doctor.

"Why did it get like this?" ask the doctor who examined the wound on Ruqoyah's head.

"No idea, Doc. We heard my mother screaming in pain and saw her bandages were filled with blood" Ali replied.

The wound had been infected and had to be treated seriously. So, Ruqoyah had to undergo treatment in the hospital.

Hafsah felt dizzy smelling a disinfectant odor that often smelled in the hospital. It felt like he was no longer strong and was sweating a lot of cold.

"Ali, are you going to die?" ruqoyah asked as they were already in the room.

"Mom don't talk like that. Insha Allah, the mother will recover quickly if according to what the doctor and nurse said," Ali replied as he looked compassionately at his mother.

"No, Ali. I feel like it is nearing its end now. A few days ago, your father came into a dream and said kangen. Maybe it's a sign that you'll soon be following your father" Ruqoyah said, shedding tears.

Seeing his mother like this Ali felt his heartache. He felt he could not give happiness to this mother, if the death was to pick up at this time.

Again Ruqoyah groaned in pain even to the point of being unconscious. Of course Ali and Hafsah were panicking. The man quickly pressed the nurse's bell to come.

The doctor and nurse came and checked on Ruqoyah. The high blood pressure and blood in the wound seemed to seep back.

"Usahakan not to make the patient emotional or angry. Make her feel calm and happy. Do whatever makes him feel happy don't burden his mind" said the Doctor and Ali nodded.

Over night Hafsah and Ali took turns guarding Ruqoyah. They taught the Qur'an while sitting next to the gurney. They hoped to provide peace of heart and mind to Ruqoyah.

Early in the morning Ali got a report from the lawyer that the case had found a bright spot, the real perpetrator had been caught. He's the man Sarah met at the hotel first. The main purpose of the video was to blackmail Sarah and Ali. However, it was not possible for him to continue what he had planned, as he had now been arrested by the police.

"What's up, Bang?" ask Hafsah as soon as he returns from the cafeteria to buy breakfast.

"Alhamdulillah, dear, the perpetrator of the video spreader has been arrested as well as the police. Hopefully in the future there will be no such problem anymore. Especially early in the month, Brother has started to enter work at the hotel," replied Ali while sitting by his wife's side.

Hearing this, of course, Hafsah was pleased. While the two were having breakfast, Alika and Bimo came to visit Ruqoyah. The newlywed couple had deliberately come and wanted to know the development of the middle-aged woman's state.

"Mother, don't mind much first. Anything is thought, things that are not important also still like to be thought about," said Alika with annoyed mimic. She knows what her mother looks like, likes to take care of things she doesn't need to take care of.

"How can you not think that your sister has no children. She wants our family to have offspring. Your father must have thought that way if he was alive, too" Ruqoyah said with annoyance and withstanding the pain in his head.

Hafsah could only remain silent even though his heart was very sick. For some reason it had suddenly infiltrated his mind something he had never thought of.

"Ali, I'm asking you to marry Sarah. She's a woman who can give you a child. Make your mother calm before facing God and meeting your father!" pinta Ruqoyah with bright eyes.

Hafsah's heart felt squeezed, very sick. Her tears had also piled up at the end of her net pocket and once a blink must have fallen slid down her cheek.

Will Ali grant his mother's request? What is in Hafsah's mind? Follow their story, yes!
