chapter 294 - Reunion?
chapter 294 - Reunion?
- With Marzuki.
After parting with Taufik who entered the treatment room belonging to Jenn and the others, Marzuki continued to sit and ponder on the waiting chair in front of the room.
Who knows what he was thinking, or maybe he was just trying to calm himself down, but the point is, Marzuki sat there quietly for quite a long time and didn't move at all.
Even when Taufik left the room, Marzuki didn't even move, as if he didn't realize Taufik was clearly looking at him.
Even after Taufik left, running towards the elevator, he still sat there in thought.
But not long after that, he was awakened from his thought by a voice from someone, even though there were various voices heard around him, for some reason, Marzuki's ears only focused on capturing the voice of that person, it was a voice that he missed so much, a voice that he used to hear often when he went to work and greeted him when he came home, that voice was a voice that he always heard before whether it was when he was happy or when he was sad, that voice would greet him in the morning, and accompany him when he was about to fall asleep, The voice also sometimes calmed him down but sometimes it also scared him.
It was amazing because so much time had passed, but the voice still sounded the same in Marzuki's ears, as if time did not affect that person's voice at all, the voice of the woman he had always missed during his years of wandering without a definite direction, the voice of the woman he had always wanted to hear again that had made him go through many obstacles and never give up no matter what.
Unconsciously, Marzuki's head turned towards the source of the voice, and sure enough, the person who owned the voice was the woman he had always missed, the woman who was the reason he never gave up, and the woman he thought he would never meet again, that woman was Linda, his wife.
"Lin-"
Marzuki exclaimed, but then his voice seemed to stop in his throat, and he couldn't say anything further.
"Call her and then what?" "What should I say to her?" "Will she forgive me? After all, I left her for more than ten years?" "And does she still consider me as her husband?" "Maybe she has found another man?" "Why am I even here? What confidence do I have that I think she'll accept me back?" These thoughts continued to revolve in Marzuki's mind for a short time.
This made Marzuki even more confused about what to do; he couldn't move his body, and even his voice couldn't come out.
So Marzuki could only remain silent there while staring at Linda.
But not long after, Linda looked at him; this made Marzuki a little surprised, and then immediately turned his head.
Not long after that, Marzuki then heard someone stop in front of the door, but not long after that, the person entered the inpatient room.
*Click*
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Marzuki then breathed a sigh of relief, but not long after that, Marzuki heard the sound of footsteps coming towards him, this made Marzuki panic again, so he turned his face as far away as possible, maybe if he could turn his head 270 degrees like an owl, maybe he would do it now.
The footsteps became clearer and clearer, and even though Marzuki didn't see them, he knew they were coming towards him.

With that last step, Marzuki's heart was beating quite fast, and he tried quite hard to hide his face.
'... Oh, Shit, just please go away, give me some tim-'
"Who are you, Sir? Why are you sitting in front of my Son's Wife's inpatient room?"
"..."
Those words were like a hard blow to Marzuki; he had thought about the possibility of this happening, but when it actually happened, Marzuki felt like his soul was going to leave his body; it felt like he was falling from a very high place.
"Sir?"
"... Oh, A-Ah, I-I'm sorry, I'll leave right now... I'm sorry if my presence is bothering you... "
Marzuki said, his tone was like someone who had lost his will to live; even when he stood up, Marzuki's face looked very pale; Marzuki kept looking down as if he didn't dare to look up. Then add
"... I'm sorry for all this time, I'll leave now... I'm sorry"
Marzuki said while walking slowly like someone who hadn't eaten for several days.
Marzuki's steps felt very heavy, all his strength felt like it was gone, his mind was blank, and his vision felt blurry.
"So you will leave again, just like that?"
"..."
--------
Along with the steps that Linda took to approach Marzuki, memories that she had wanted to forget because remembering them would only reopen old wounds, filled Linda's mind again.
'... So this is the surprise that the brat is talking about, now I remember, his goal this time was indeed to bring back this man, but I don't think he will succeed like this, he's really... '
Linda thought with every step she took.
*Step*
With that last step, Linda stopped just a few steps away from Marzuki, Linda took a good look at the one she once loved and still loved.
'... What's with that outfit? Is he trying to be a pirate? *Sigh* Look at how unkempt he is, has he been eating well all this time?'
Linda said inwardly, she looked at the man who was trying so hard to turn his face away carefully, from top to bottom.
Seeing this, Linda herself did not know what the right first words to say were.
But Linda also didn't want to be the first to start, but seeing Marzuki's current state, Linda knew that he was nervous, even though she hadn't seen him for a long time, the habits he had when he was nervous were still as she remembered, it was the same as when they had their first date, at that time, Marzuki was so nervous that at that time, when they had dinner, Marzuki could only sit still and didn't dare to look at her face, just like now.
Having no other choice, Linda then said something, perhaps a little cruel to Marzuki, but compared to herself who had waited for so many years, it was still nothing, in her opinion.
"... Who are you, Sir? Why are you sitting in front of my Son's Wife's inpatient room?"
"..."
Seeing Marzuki just frozen in silence, Linda thought to herself.
'... Did that hurt him that much?'
"... Sir?"
"... Oh, A-Ahh, I-I'm sorry, I'll leave right now... I'm sorry if my presence is bothering you... "
Marzuki said, and immediately stood up, then slowly wanted to move away from him.
"... I'm sorry for all this time, I'll leave now... I'm sorry"
Marzuki said again as he walked away.
Linda watched all this silently, but seeing Marzuki like this, Linda also felt a little sorry, and maybe she had gone a little overboard, so then Linda spoke.
"... So you will leave again, just like that?"
"..."
Linda saw Marzuki fall silent after she said that, and not long after that, Linda saw Marzuki turn his head slowly to her.
"... D-Do you recognize me?" Marzuki ask.
Hearing that, Linda looked at Marzuki and then chuckled a little. Then said.
"Do you really think I will n-"
"Alright, Mom, save the reunion for later, We have a more critical situation than this"
--------
Taufik, who had left the waiting room earlier, immediately went with Shasha to the inpatient room belonging to Jenn and the others while carrying Alice.
"... Is there really no Docter on standby right now who can take care of Jenn and the others' delivery process, Shasha?"
"I've pressed the emergency ball on the room, but there's no response, Master, and I think the other hospital staff were also frozen in that place before"
"I see; if that's the case, then we have no other choice but to go to my grandmother's palace; at least, that can avoid an incident like earlier... Are you done packing their belongings?"
"Yes, Master"
Shasha answered, and Taufik just nodded his head, because right now, he didn't have the mood to talk more.
*Ding*
With that sound, the elevator arrived at the xx floor where Jenn and the others' inpatient room was located.
When the elevator door opened, Taufik, who was carrying Alice, immediately walked down the hallway to the inpatient room where Jenn and the others were with Shasha.
Not long after he walked, Taufik saw his mother, Linda, and his father looking at each other; who knows what drama was happening between the two of them at the moment?
But Taufik was not in a state where he could give them time for whatever they were doing right now, he could have left his mother and father here to do whatever they were doing right now, but Taufik was sure that his mother would not want that, because she would also want to see the birth of her grandchild, so Taufik immediately walked to them and when he was near them, Taufik said.
"Alright, Mom, save the reunion for later, We have a more critical situation than this"
