Being My Husband's Affair
The Part 37
A red honda brio entered the courtyard of Ustadz Arifin's house.
Today Irma visited Nina's parents' house. The goal was to come here to tell abi and Umi about her daughter's condition.
"Assalamu'alaikum"
A middle-aged woman answered her greeting from inside the house.
When the door opens, it shows the face of the woman he respects. He quickly grabbed the woman's hand and kissed her reverence.
"Son Irma?" Umi soon bursts into the arms of the girl who has been Nina's friend since Mts. "Thank God you came, there are so many things I want to ask you. Come on, baby get in first". Umi takes Irma to the sofa "Bi Tati, please make tea for Nak Irma" he continued to shout a little.
"How's umi doing?" Irma and Umi seemed to sit side by side with their hands clutched together.
"Alhamdulillah Umi healthy, son Irma herself how?" ask her with a glowing face
"Alhamdulillah also umi, I am healthy"
"Son, tell me how Nina is, you know where she is right? Umi's sure you know it"
"Umi, mba, please drink the tea" sambar Tati while putting two cups of tea on the table.
"Thank you Auntie Tati"
"Sama - sama mba Irma"
"Umi, Nina is fine, sorry I can't say where Nina is, she wants to calm herself down"
"But why should disconnect contact"
"We did not mean to disconnect the contact umi, at that time our phone was robbed of people, we did not memorize all the numbers stored on our phone" he tried to evade.
"Mugged?" Umi looked surprised, complete with a trembling chest. "But you're okay, right?"
"Yes our Umi is fine, they just ask for our cell phone and money"
"Thank God"
"Umi, for a while, abi and umi don't look for Nina's whereabouts just yet, Nina needs time to explain everything"
Umi seemed to frown, he stared fixedly at Irma's face "Explain what's son about? umi doesn't need any explanation, umi just wants to see her face"
Irma felt sorry for Umi, how she missed her only daughter.
"Nina, what should I do, on the one hand I pity to see umi, on the other, you ask me to shut up, I feel like I'm in the wrong position"
"Umi, Nina has a reason why she left, she has to make a lot of money"
"Searching for money?" umi was surprised to hear Irma say "What for?"
"To defend her son, if one day her husband seizes her" Irma is only able to say inwardly.
"His husband has a lot of money, why not ask Danu, her husband?"
"Andu" Lirih Irma was nervous.
Umi nodded her head "Danu also looked for it all this time, at that time I heard Nina was in central Jakarta, they were looking there, but have not met until now"
"Jakarta center?" are we in East Jakarta?" but what Danu's looking for is Nina, does she know that Nina is pregnant with her child. True Nina said, Danu must have intended to take his son from Nina"
"Son Irma"
"Umi-iya?"
"What's wrong? why daydream?"
"Ti-no umi" Irma answered.
"Then tell umi where Nina is now, let her husband pick her up"
"Umi, may I ask for a phone number mas Haidar" Instead of answering, he switched the topic.
"I'm going to tell Mas Haidar?"
"May, take a second umi's phone first inside"
"Yes Umi"
Umipun moved from the living room sofa to the room.
Irma grabbed the cup containing tea that was still showing a thin cloud of smoke, then gulped it down slowly
Not long after, Umi brought a piece of paper written Haidar's number there.
"Thank you um. Umi don't worry about Nina yeah, give Nina a little time, later Nina will explain everything"
"Umi can what, if you don't want to tell umi" complained umi resigned.
"Sorry umi, sorry"
"It's okay son, umi was a little relieved because Nina was fine, because these few days, umi's heart was worried about Nina. But, if anything happens, please let us know immediately"
"definitely umi. Thank you for wanting to understand, umi doain Nina continues, now she is pioneering her career. Oh, umi, where's abi?" tanya Irma looked around the house.
"Abi's on a lecture invitation"
"Where's umi?"
"In Palembang"
"Kok Umi does not come, usually umi always accompany abi"
"Yes, because it's been a few days feeling uneasy, umi felt the body of the umi a little carefree, so not a little abi fill the lecture there"
Almost an hour Irma talked to umi. He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
"Umi, I beg you, it's late afternoon, if there's time, I'll come next time"
"Alright, son, promise me that if there's anything to Nina, tell umi immediately"
"Surely Umi" he said rubbing the arm of Umi, then kissed the back of his hand. Irma stepped foot after saying her greeting. Hitting the horn button as his car moved out of the gate.

Later that night, Irma tried to call Nina, but her phone could not be reached.
"What's wrong with Nina, why the number can't be dialed"
Not stopping there, Irma immediately called Yuni, and the call was connected.
"Assalamualaikum mba Irma" he answered behind a phone call.
"Walaikumsalam mba Yun, how come Nina's number can't be reached?"
"Yes mba, mobile phone mba Nina drop, it's three daily, forget not in the contents of the battery"
"Why, how come three days?"
"How come mba, hmm actually mba Nina has given birth?" yuni said hesitantly.
"What?" Irma looked startled "Not her still two months ahead?"
"Mba, later let Mba Nina alone explain, now mba Nina is asleep"
"But the baby?" ask Irma curiously.
"The baby is still in the NICU room mba, due to premature birth"
"Yes Allah Nina" muttered Irma softly, now Nina how is mba?"
"Mba Nina is also still in the hospital, but her condition has begun to recover, only sometimes still feels pain in the seams after a cesarean section"
"Mba Yun, why didn't you tell me?"
"Sorry mba, I don't think, I focus on mba Nina"
"Yes, I'll call you tomorrow. Titip Nina ya mba, please take care of him"
"Mba Irma certainly"
"I'm closing on mba"
Now it's Irma's turn to call Haidar, but when the call is connected, Irma immediately disconnects the call. Such great fear and doubt, undoes his intention to speak to the older brother of his friend.
"Well, I'll call Nina first, who knows, there's something Nina wants to tell her sister"
"But why can Nina give birth to a premature baby, what happens?"
"Nina, why are you making things difficult for yourself?"
Irma's thoughts continued to be on her best friend, until she fell asleep under her blanket.
