Irwan brought his face closer. responds to each of Joya's plays with a more shrewd and demanding game. Makes Joya in a heady game of tongues. When the need for oxygen strikes, they release their chorus and scoop up as much oxygen as possible.
"It seems your illness is contagious. I also can't think straight," said Irwan. He kissed Joya's lips briefly, then stretched out his hand to touch Joya's wet lips which were swollen because of his actions.
Joya looked down. His face was red with fever and embarrassment.
Irwan smiled. Glad to see the blush on his wife's face. Irwan touched Joya's chin, making her look up to look at him. Their eyes met, Irwan's black beads were drowned in his wife's brown beads.
"Feeling better, hmm? Not angry anymore?"
Joya hugged Irwan, hiding her face in her husband's broad chest. " Can we not talk about it anymore? Sorry before for being mad at you. I'm always scared every time I wake up but can't find you. It feels... I feel like I'm living in a strange place alone."
"This house is not Joya's foreign place, but our home." Irwan stroked Joya's head while returning the hug with one hand. " There is no need to be afraid. You will never be alone. I will always be with you and we will grow old together."
Joya smiled. The thought of her and Irwan growing old together made Joya's heart happy. "Keep your promise Irwan. Never leave me."
"Of course dear. I will keep every promise I made," said Irwan. kissed the top of Joy's head affectionately.
Irwan is serious about his promise. Unlike his previous marriage to Windy, which was based on inheritance, this time Irwan is determined to live his household with Joya based on love and loyalty. Irwan wants to live with Joya and grow old with him.
At another place. Windy stared at the street with sparkling eyes, her face was bright. since waking up, Windy kept smiling and looked happy. It caught the attention of her husband who was driving the car beside her.
"Honey... what's wrong with you? You seem so happy," Leo asked, glancing at his wife briefly.
"Ah, it's okay. I'm just happy because today the weather is beautiful, and you are beside me," Windy replied lying.
Last night, Windy had sent a photo of Joya and Pram to Irwan. He was sure that now Irwan and Joya were having a big fuss because of that photo. If they fuss, then two things will happen. Irwan divorced Joya or Irwan forbade Joya to work.
Arriving at the office, while walking, Windy swept her eyes looking for her sister's whereabouts. He wanted to make sure, of the two possibilities he had calculated, which Joya would suffer bad luck.
Windy did not find Joya at the office. Turns out, his sister was sick and didn't come to work.
He was annoyed, because now he was filled with curiosity.
In the midst of thoughts running through the world, suddenly Windy's cell phone vibrated.
"Bella?" muttered Windy when she saw the name of the person who called her. Windy immediately answered the woman's call.
" Windy... is the man I have to investigate really named Irwan Wanlung? Haven't you got the name wrong?" _ Bella.
Windy frowned. "Of course the name is Irwan. How could I be wrong, he is my ex-husband."
" Really? But I couldn't find a man with that name. I also found out through my colleagues who work at the airport, there was no name of a passenger on behalf of Irwan Wanlung who returned from abroad four months ago."_ Bella
Windy raised her eyebrows, it was obvious that her ex-husband's name was Irwan Wanlung. his late grandfather also called him Irwan by that title.
"I can't be wrong. I'm sure his name is Irwan. Anyway, I don't want to know, immediately find information about that man." Windy just hung up.
Actually, Windy was starting to doubt herself. Bella is an experienced detective. if he couldn't find Irwan's name, it meant that there was indeed something wrong with his identity. Windy recalled documents that could show Irwan's identity.
He remembered that Irwan once gave his KTP to register his marriage with Joya. "I have to see Irwan's real name from his marriage book. I hope he really is a criminal. My family will be embarrassed if I get a criminal's son-in-law."
****
Irwan had just finished cleaning Joya's clothes and his, which was covered in vomit. This morning, after their morning kiss ended. Joya complained of nausea and coughing. Irwan panicked when his wife vomited. He takes Joya to the hospital but Joya refuses.
Not long after that, his mother-in-law called and told him how to take care of his wife. Unexpectedly, Joya's condition improved even though her fever still had not subsided.
"still nauseous?" asked Irwan.
Joya shook her head. "He said mom wants to come here? Why haven't you come yet?" he asked in a low voice.
"Maybe it's still on the road. We'll just wait," said Irwan.
Soon, the sound of a car was heard in front of the house. Irwan immediately headed to the front door to greet them. It can be seen that his two parents-in-law were taking out paper bags from his car.
Irwan approached them. " Mah, Pah! What kab-,"
"How is Joya, still vomiting?" cut Agus. Asked how his daughter was. They immediately sped towards Joya and Irwan's house when they heard that their daughter was sick.
"It's stopped, but still coughing," said Irwan.
"Take this inside!" Lina gave two large paper bags to her daughter-in-law. then enter the house. "You are really useless. If your wife is sick, you should immediately contact us. Joya, if she is sick, has to be given special care. Unlike her older sister, who only needs to be taken to the doctor," grumbled Lina while keeping the paper bag she was carrying near the sofa.
Irwan just silently listened to his father-in-law's nagging. He also didn't know that his wife would be seriously ill. "Where's Joy?" he asked.
"In papa's room," Irwan answered as he walked into the room and opened the door for them. He saw Joe lying limply on the bed.
Agus and Lina entered the room. As soon as he saw his parents. Joya cries like a child. Lina and Agus immediately checked on their daughter's condition.
"Shut up! Don't cry, shame on your husband. You're big, you're still a crybaby," Lina said as she placed her hand on her daughter's forehead.
Instead of stopping, Joya's sobs only got louder.
UHUK! HOCK! UHUK!
" Mama said don't cry! You'll be coughing if you keep crying. Shut up already!" Lina wiped her daughter's tears. "Pah! Joya's body temperature is still high. Bring me some coconut water. Ohya, the food will go straight into the fridge so it stays good," Lina said to her husband.
"Yes mom." And he left the room. Irwan was about to go help his father-in-law, but Lina's voice stopped him.
"Where are you going? Stay here! Learn how to take care of your wife. Don't want to enjoy yourself. Joya is also sick because of you, she must be tired and has a lot of thoughts. So she is like this. Bring a chair, sit close here!" said Lina, pointing to the place beside her.
"Yes!" said Irwan. He pulled up a chair and sat down by the bed. Actually, Irwan was quite surprised to hear that his mother-in-law's words were exactly the same as the doctor's words.
Irwan watched Lina who was taking out several bottles and a saucer from a paper bag.
UHUK!HIS!UHUK!HIS!
"Well, cough again. Mom told you not to cry. Mom will treat it later. It hurts just a little bitch, begging for mercy. See your husband is watching," said Lina.
Joya lowered her crying voice. She wanted to stop crying, but the tears kept flowing.
"Since when did Joya have a fever?" asked Lina while opening one of the bottles she took out.
"Around twelve o'clock in the evening, ma," replied Irwan. His eyes watched his mother-in-law's hand, which was mixing some oil on the saucer.
Lina turned her head, looking at her son-in-law. "So you just let it be?"
"After compressing for three hours, the fever subsided. However, this morning after breakfast, the fever was high again," explained Irwan.
Lina was quite surprised to hear her son-in-law's very detailed answer. Then he stirred the oil in the bowl with his hand.
"Where did Joya vomit?" she asked. He was surprised to see his daughter's clothes and blankets that looked clean.
"Here mom," Irwan answered briefly.
Lina was silent for a few moments. He noticed the compress tool marks on the nightstand and the thermometer next to it. Lina patted her daughter's hip who was still crying.
"Undress," he ordered. Joy shook her head. "How can mama want to apply medicine if you are still dressed. Quickly open it!" Lina unbuttoned her daughter's shirt.
Joya held her mother's hand, but Lina grumbled instead. Finally, Joya let her mother unbutton her shirt.
Irwan, who saw his father-in-law's actions, became embarrassed. Moreover, Joya's shirt buttons are almost all off. "Ma! Irwan just wait outside."
"It's just delicious! Stay here! Mama told you, you have to learn how to take care of your wife," said Lina.
"Sit down first! Take off your clothes and breastplate," Lina said, trying to undress her daughter.
Irwan jumped. Immediately turned his face away from his wife's body. Joya immediately covered the exposed body parts with her hands.
"Ma! Let Irwan go outside," Joya asked with a shy face.
Lina looked at her daughter and son-in-law alternately. "You are husband and wife, usually you also sleep without clothes. So, there's no need to be shy like this. Irwan, help mom sit down Joya!"
