Why marry me, Gus?
chapter 47

"Why, Mas? Umi said what?" asked Arin so who saw the young face that suddenly turned pale.

Huda turned to his wife, then delivered the bad news he received from Nyai Rosyidah that would destroy their holiday. "I'm sorry, Arin? I think we should go home now" exclaimed Huda.

"What's the matter, Mom?"

Huda looked at Arin with a pushy look. "Abi went to the hospital" Huda said later.

Arin rounded his eyes wide. Just now he wants to enjoy a vacation, but unfortunately his honeymoon event was disrupted because of unexpected news. "When, Mom? How's Abi doing now?" tanya Arin also worried about Ustadz Wahab who is currently lying in the hospital.

"Umi didn't say much. Now Umi again nemenin Abi in hospital. Is it okay to go home now?" tanya Huda felt bad for making their holiday event fail. But at least, Huda took the time for a full day yesterday to take his small family for a walk.

"Well, we're ready now!" arin said she did not mind being invited home by her husband. "Next time we can go on vacation again."

Huda and Arin immediately invite Riski back to the inn to pack up. With a heavy heart, the couple left Nepal Van Java and returned to the village of Tubansari.

"Umi, why are we going home now? He said he still wants to go?" riski protesting on his way home.

"Let's stay here again, shall we? Now we go home first," Arin persuaded in a soft voice to the little boy.

After a long journey, they finally reached home. Huda escorts Arin and Riski first, then leaves them at home before heading to the hospital.

"You guys are home, huh? I want to go straight to the hospital" Huda said as soon as Arin opened the door.

"Newly open the door, too, my dear. Don't you want to rest?" ask Arin.

"No need. I want to go straight to the hospital" exclaimed Huda.

Not only Huda who worried about the situation of the father who is currently lying in the hospital, Arin also wanted to know the condition of his father-in-law. "Can I come, Mom?" pinta Arin later. "I also want to know how Abi is doing."

Huda, who was about to leave, turned to Arin and tried to persuade his wife to wait at home with Riski. "Don't come first. I myself went to the hospital. Later if Abi's condition is stable, Mas will ajakin you. You rest with Riski at home."

"Tap, Mas ...."

"Riski wants to come too!" said Riski suddenly chimed in.

Huda's departure was delayed for a moment because of the actions of his wife and child who whined asking to come to the hospital. "Then I can't go! Riski wants to come!"

Huda started to get dizzy. The man still did not allow his wife and children to come along, and let them rest at home. "Mas rush. Please take care of Riski at home, will you? You guys take a break. Mas promise you will take you later," persuaded Huda.

Finally Arin understood and helped persuade Riski to let Huda go. "Riski, play with Umi aja, yuk! Abi wants to go to work first. We'll get some ice cream at the stall?" ask Arin to distract Riski.

"Thank you, Arin. Go first, will you?" pamit to Arin.

Soon after, Huda arrived at the hospital and met Nyai Rosyidah. Nyai Rosidah is not alone in the hospital. Fortunately there was Ilmi who drove Nyai Rosyidah.

"Asphalt, Umi!" Huda immediately kissed the back of his mother's hand and saw the condition of Ustadz Wahab who is currently lying in the patient's gurney.

"Va'alaikumsalam, Hud. Finally you come too" welcome Nyai Rosyidah.

"Where is Abi? What did the doctor say?" ask Huda without much ado.

"Umi apologized before that I disrupted your holiday event," Nyai Rosyidah said regretfully.

Huda shook his head. Of course the man would prioritize his parents over the holiday event. "No problem Umi. Sorry, Huda is not even in the fitting house anymore," said Huda.

"So the doctor came here. Diagnosis from a doctor is the same hypertension sugar," said Nyai Rosyidah.

Huda stared at Ustadz Wahab, who was closing his eyes. It seems that the man will be troubled as long as the father is hospitalized.

"Arin, I'm going to the store. Comewithme!" take Huda to Arin wherever he goes.

Riski has already gone to PAUD, and Arin is currently home alone. Nyari Rosyidah accompanied Ustadz Wahab in the hospital, while Huda had to take care of all the work at home.

"When to the hospital?" tnya Arin.

"Out of the store, Mas will stop by the hospital for a while. After that Mas want to go to the store again," exclaimed Huda.

Although he looks busy, but Huda does not let Arin be at home alone. The man will take Arin wherever he goes.

Arin also seemed happy to be able to accompany Huda to finish the job. Although Arin can't help much, but at least Huda doesn't let Arin be home alone.

"Mas, it's time for Riski to come home" Arin told Huda who had been busy checking the store's inventory report.

"Yes, Rin. Just a little more, huh?"

Both of them rushed to the PAUD to pick up Riski. After picking up Riski, Huda also returned to finish his activities and always took the time to visit his father in the hospital.

Over the past few days, Huda has continued to wander from hospital to shop. Sometimes the man also went to the boarding school to take care of the schedule of the activities of the father. The man seemed overwhelmed, but eventually Huda was able to survive until Ustadz Wahab was allowed to go home.

"Rin, go to the hospital first, okay?" pamit Huda on Arin who is currently feeding Riski.

"But Riski has not finished eating, Mas," said Arin thought he and Riski would be invited to go.

"You're at home with Riski. It is also not good for young children if they go back and forth to the hospital. It won't be long. I just want to help Umi take care of administration," exclaimed Huda.

"Where is Abi?"

"Alhamdulillah, the doctor said that tomorrow morning Abi can go home. So now Mas wants to go to the hospital to help Umi take care of the administration as ready," said Huda.

"Alhamdulillah!" Arin was delighted and relieved to hear the good news about her father-in-law. Finally, the exhausting day of Huda was finished. The man was able to return to normal activities after Ustadz Wahab recovered.

"Mas go first, huh? Later Mas announced again," said Huda.

The next day, Ustadz Wahab residence was immediately crowded as news of his return was heard throughout the village of Tubansari. Many guests who came to visit Ustadz Wahab until Arin was overwhelmed to welcome the guests.

"Assynnya!" Unfortunately, Arin's happy day is actually ruined by the arrival of a woman, who is none other than Novi.

Arin turned to the woman who said her greetings, then answered her with a grim face. Novi came not only to visit Ustadz Wahab, but the woman even helped entertain the guests who came and cooked in the kitchen together with Nyai Rosyidah.

"Eh, New!" greet Nyai Rosyidah kindly to Novi.

"Be busy, Nyai? Can Novi help you?" haggle Novi without much ado. Indeed Novi is quite close to the Huda family, but still Arin feels uncomfortable if there is a foreign woman who tries to try to get along with her husband's family.

"Mom did not expect the guests who came will be this much. Thank you so much if you want to help!" welcome Nyai Rosyidah felt helped by the arrival of Novi.

"There are many guests in front. Moving Him forward. Let Novi cook here" Novi cetus.

Novi's words made Arin even more furious. But that woman can't make a fuss right now. Arin tries to suppress her feelings of resentment and put her ego aside, in order to maintain the dignity of her husband's family in front of the guests.

"Please drink!" Novi delivered drinks to the guests and welcomed them as hostesses.

Arin is really upset to see Novi's behavior is increasingly becoming at the residence of his in-laws. "Patience, Arin! Don't make trouble today! Let Novi do whatever he wants, as long as he can help here!" mummy Arin.
