MARRY MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 126

“My mother's words, the mother's husband was a hospital patient, outpatient like,” said Ella excited as usual even though I did not ask

“Oh yes?! Continues?” my response with a tone of astonishment.

“Yes, she found Dr.Gery, a nephrology specialist,” Ella said again

“What specialist?” I just feel less clear

“That's Bu, kidney.” Bright Ella.

“Oh yes, my husband was indeed born with one kidney, maybe check up rutin” said I found a bright spot.

“But if the kidney he has no problem why should check up routine huh? Or the habits of the rich are so?” ask Ella again.

Not that I answered but I just kept quiet and thought to myself. There was a point in Ella's words and for a moment I closed all the reports that were in front of me. I took a break from Ella and left when I was sure Rayi wasn't aware of my whereabouts. I rushed to the hospital to meet with Dr. Gery for an explanation but when I got there I was a little disappointed because it was not that easy to meet Dr. Gery has to make an appointment in advance and there is indeed a certain schedule for his patients. Finally I decided to pretend to register as a patient and got the schedule the day after morning.

I limply returned to the boutique hoping that my plan would work. But there I was greeted with a fierce gaze from Rayi and was immediately able to make my guts shrink because there were some documents that I had to sign immediately but I instead left without saying goodbye. I finally told Rayi everything and made her lower her voice.

“Why don't you go straight to Arka aja?” rayi's advice

“If he wants to, he must have told me a long time ago, Ra,” I replied with a sigh.

“If I still have to talk alone, the principle is that there should be no lies between us, Love,” said Rayi while singing the last part.

Rayi's behavior was successful in making me laugh but for now I refuse Rayi's advice. I have to gather the information I need before I sit down and talk to Arka about it. If I didn't know anything Arka wouldn't admit it all and she would have pretended that nothing had happened and said that everything was fine as usual. I know Arka very well and I'm sure she would have done so for some vague reason.

...****************...

“Oh, Arka? Yes, but what is it?” ask Dr. Gery.

“I'm his wife doc, and it looks like Mas Arka is hiding something from me. Directly yes doc, for what Mas Arka routine check up? What's the problem with his kidneys??” my question is getting tense.

Initially Dr. Gery was a bit hesitant to answer my question because she thought it was not good to share information with just anyone but when I could show evidence through photos to make sure that I was really Arka's wife, finally he decided to explain everything to me and asked me to wait for him to finish the practice. It took me a long time to wait while finishing my design, until Dr. Unaware. Gery was already standing in front of me with his smile expanding and taking me to his practice room. Not long after, a nurse came with a map with the name Arka written in front of him.

“Previous, what do you know about the health condition of your husband?” ask Dr.Gery

“I only know that I was born with one kidney,” I said without hesitation

“Iya right, there should be no problem with it as long as he applies a healthy lifestyle well” said Dr. Gery who seemed to calm me a little, was,

“Iya, at the beginning of the wedding he did eat healthy, consume a lot of mineral water, sleep regularly only since returning to the city, Mas Arka was too busy and often overtime,” I said trying to give an explanation.

Dr. Gery seemed to nod his head in understanding. The next thing happened, Dr. Gery gave an explanation that momentarily made my body suddenly limp and it felt like I stopped breathing because it turned out that the only kidney Arka had could not function properly. If this kidney is damaged then it is very dangerous for the body can even cause death, due to the accumulation of fluids and harmful substances in the body.

“Because hemodialysis is very important and must be done to replace the kidney function,” said dr. Gery

“What is hemodialysis?” I gathered all my strength to ask

“If lay people call it by the term dialysis,” said Dr. Gery

How bad until Arka had to undergo dialysis? And according to Dr. Gery, Arka has been doing blood washing procedures for almost a year and all this time he was accompanied by someone who as old as Dr. Gery is the mother of his friend who he called mommy. This mother is very painstaking and takes care of Arka like her own biological child and I am very sure that the person in question is her mother Awan. This news seemed to slap me, I said goodbye and I strengthened my footsteps to walk. Strange I didn't book a taxi online to go home but my feet didn't stop stepping and there was just an empty look of feeling self meaningless. How can I be a wife to know my husband's condition too late and not me who accompanies him when he needs it. Why would Arka prefer to be accompanied by his mother Awan than I am his wife? Is there something wrong with me that Arka doesn't trust me at all and won't share with me? The restlessness in my heart made me feel very bad, feel like I was failing at being a wife and feel very disrespected.

Until I realized I was bumping into someone I knew very well. With a little panic and yet still full of tenderness she helped me to stand up and move me to a more comfortable place.
