May looked down. She was speechless. The message from the doctor is that she must rest immediately because tomorrow morning surgery will be carried out. As much as possible May tried to be able to close her eyes. Even though it's difficult, she also has to be at her maximum tomorrow.
Suddenly it was morning. May wants to eat but still can't. She is only allowed to drink water. Apart from not being able to.
That morning, Lukman and Rena visited May at the hospital.
"May, you have to be strong! How can you go through all this," said Rena.
"You are here too, Rena. Thank you for supporting me. But whatever this power is, this is my destiny," said May.
May's operation time has arrived. May was immediately taken to the operating room. Alvin also led to the front of the operating room. But can't enter. May has also asked for the blessing of her parents to carry out this operation. May entered the operating room with teary eyes. Rena didn't have the heart. She wants to meet with May and ask about the wedding and also May's first night. But the truth is that May has to have surgery today.
Rena seemed to be able to guess that May and Alvin had a relationship so that the tumor in May's breast could be known to Alvin. She is also relieved that her best friend has carried out her role as a wife. Now only prayers can be said so that May can run the operation smoothly.
The operation light is on. That means May is fighting for her health. Alvin kept on praying for the smooth running of his wife. Likewise with Mike and his wife.
"Honey, I didn't think that May would go through this at the beginning of her marriage," said Rena. Rena and Lukman's positions were a bit far from the others, so Rena dared to speak up.
"Yes, that's fate. If May doesn't get married soon, of course, she won't know that May has a tumor," said Lukman. He also embraced his wife. He knows how a woman feels. Rena must be worried that the disease could attack her.
Rena was silent when Lukman's hand embraced her. She also prayed for May's safety.
The operation lasts about 2 hours. And finally, the operating lights went out. The doctor came out of the operating room and informed me that the operation went well. Meanwhile, Alvin was invited inside to see the tumor organ that was successfully removed from May's breast.
Alvin swallowed his saliva as he looked at the three-sized variety of meat. The biggest one is the size of a ping-pong ball.
"So this is an organ tumor. We just showed it to the husband to know. While May is still unconscious because she received general anesthesia. Maybe in 2 to 3 hours, she will wake up," explained the doctor.
"Okay, Doc. Will my wife be transferred to the treatment room?" asked Alvin.
"Yes. When I wake up, sir. Then I'll excuse myself," said the doctor.
Alvin looked at the face of his wife who was still fast asleep. May has struggled in her life. Alvin did not feel clear liquid from the end of his netra. He rubbed May's head with tears falling on May's cheeks.
Marriage exams are tough at the start. Even though he looks tough in front of May. He is also a human. He has weak points but he doesn't want to show May. Because he wanted to strengthen May's heart. Alvin hopes that May's illness disappears and no longer returns to May.
It was noon when May had regained consciousness. May still doesn't feel anything. She saw Alvin next to her.
"Are you awake, May?" asked Alvin.
May still feel dizzy. She just cleared her throat.
"Does something hurt?" Alvin asked again.
May just shake her head. "Just dizzy," she replied.
Alvin then pressed the button to call the doctor. Not long after, the doctor checked May's condition. Indeed, the effects of the anesthetic have not completely disappeared so I still feel dizzy.
Doctors then moved May to the treatment room. There the May family was waiting. Likewise with Lukman and Rena.
May smiled because her whole family gave her support and encouragement. One of her treasures has been dissected. She felt a little pain in her breast. Maybe the anesthetic effect is starting to wear off.
Alvin continued to be beside May until he held May's hand earlier. Rena is happy because, since the beginning of their marriage, May and Alvin have shown love for each other. Maybe May also learn from Rena who had betrayed. So May did not need to do that.
Rena, who had been in the hospital since morning, then after strengthening said goodbye. “May you recover quickly, huh! Next week we will start school again. So we'll go together."
May just be smiled. "Thank you, Rena. You are indeed a good friend. Be careful on the road! Take good care of my nephew!"
"Ok, I want to go home first, okay!" said goodbye to Rena then said goodbye to all the family members there. Lukman took Rena's hand along the hospital corridor.
"Why are you holding my hand so tightly?" Rena asked.
"Let's not lose to the newlyweds," Lukman replied then kissed the back of Rena's hand.
When Rena arrived at the house, she was happy because now there was a photo of the two of them with Lukman on the aisle. Even though it's not her wedding day, at least there is an intimate photo that can be displayed in the living room. A smile broke out and Lukman's hand was holding Rena's pregnant belly, which looked so romantic.
"Why are you smiling?" Lukman asked when he saw his wife smiling to herself.
"Not inferior to the newlyweds. We also have wedding photos," replied Rena.
"Who told you to frown when you got married?" Lukman teased. Rena then tried to lightly hit Lukman's arm. Not angry, instead Lukman carried Rena into the room. He brought Rena to bed.
"I'm so tired. There's nothing to do in the hospital, I'm tired too," complained Rena.
"Which one is tired? Let me have a massage?" Lukman asked, offering himself.
"Legs and stomach too," replied Rena.
No need to ask many questions, Lukman massaged his wife's feet with great affection. He knows that being pregnant makes you feel tired quickly. Therefore he tried to support his wife according to his promise first. To accompany and support when Rena was pregnant. So Rena did not feel pregnant alone. "Is it good yet?" he asked.
"Not yet. It's nice," replied Rena, then closed her eyes. And she was really deep in sleep. Lukman gave a blanket to Rena and let his wife rest while he chose to clean himself first.
