Happiness Does Not Have to be Rich
Beautiful sister-in-law

Ben was very surprised by the sharp gaze of his old friend's wife. However, he immediately changed his facial expression to smile again.

" Hehee... Beautiful sister-in-law, lunch with me, yuk?" rayu Ben's.

" Come, I'm hungry too. Mas here take care of Bang Rayyan first, I will bring food." said Zahra.

" Why is Mas left, Dek?" azzam protests.

" Just a minute to Mushola."

" Okay, but the heart is the same. Just break his neck you kind of." said Azzam while staring at Ben sharply.

" Your friend won't be anything." said Zahra.

Ben smiled very widely to see his best friend's wife easily invited to lunch. But as he was about to walk beside Zahra, Azzam pulled his shoulder.

" Don't be like if you don't want to enter the ICU...!" whiskey Azzam.

" Huh...? Are you gonna beat me up?"

" Not me, but my wife."

" She's a gentle and sholeh woman." said Ben.

Hearing the husband whisper to each other with his friend, Zahra immediately approached them and pulled the white coat that Ben was wearing.

" Did you cancel our lunch, Doctor?" said Zahra flat.

" Eh, no... Brother-in-law, let's go to the cafeteria now." said Ben a little afraid of the cold aura of Azzam's wife.

Ben takes Zahra to the hospital cafeteria on the ground floor. They walked through a long hallway until they reached the parking lot of the hospital employees.

" Sister-in-law, who was sick?" ask Ben kepo.

" Cousin brother of Azzam. Don't you know him?"

" no. I don't know the Azzam family, we were friends outside, never visited each other's houses."

" It's just fine that you don't know him."

" Sister-in-law since when did you marry Azzam? He should have invited me, right?"

" It's almost 4 years old, our son is almost 3 years old."

" Congratulations, Brother. Even if it's too late, I'll send you a gift. Ask for your home address, will you?"

" Thank you, but not necessary. We're not newlyweds anymore."

Ben chuckled softly as he pointed the direction of Mushola hospital before they had lunch in the canteen. They talked quite familiar despite being new to it. Zahra can recognize the nature of someone who is sincere or has hidden intentions.

" Don't call me 'Sister', Doctor Ben's age must be older than mine."

" Okay, we're getting well acquainted now. My name is Ruben, surgical specialist at this hospital."

" okay. My name is Zahra, the elementary school teacher in this small suburban village."

" Who...! Did I not hear wrong? Azzam is the sole heir to a large company in Jakarta."

Zahra smiled as she stepped into the women-only ablution area. Ben, who had not realized where he was, continued to follow Zahra.

" Mr Ruben? What are you doing here?" a middle-aged woman in a doctor's uniform reprimands Ben who goes into a female-only area.

" Athaghfirullah...! Sorry, Madam... I didn't notice the road."

Ben went straight out of there with a shameless hold for his foolishness following Zahra's footsteps without seeing the way.

.......

Zahra still laughed amusedly at Ben who put on an annoyed face because Zahra had made fun of his boredom.

" Already, sister-in-law! I was embarrassed, and they looked at me strangely. Though only a place of ablution, not a toilet." Ben was annoyed.

" Sorry... Let's order food, I don't want Mas Azzam alone for too long." said Zahra.

" What message do you want?"

" Anything, all wrap for Mas Azzam with Bang Rayyan."

" Oh...!"

After eating, Zahra immediately returned to the IGD room to accompany her husband. He parted ways with Ben who returned to his room that was different from him.

" Assalamu'alaikum, Mas."

" Wa'alaikumsalam, Deck."

" This is Zahra bring food, Mas pray first there."

" Yes, Rayyan will soon be moved to the treatment room. You just wait there, baby."

Azzam shamelessly kissed his wife's cheek at a glance then smiled sinlessly and left as soon as Zahra gave him a sharp look.

" Well, Azzam...!" zahra growled and embarrassed by the gazes of several people around her.

" Sister, my sister wants to be moved?" ask Zahra.

" Yes, Ma'am. The patient will be transferred to the inpatient room."

Zahra followed the nurse's steps pushing the gurney toward the patient's special elevator. Zahra thought her cousin's brother would be treated on the ground floor.

" Why upstairs, Sus?" ask Zahra curiously.

" It's a request from the family, Ma'am. Patients will be treated in the VIP room."

Up to the fifth floor, the elevator opened and the two nurses pushed the gurney into a room not far from the elevator. Finished fixing the infusion hose and also changing Rayyan's resting position comfortably, the two nurses immediately came out.

" Bang, eat first huh?" said Zahra softly.

"Later on, Za. Where are you alone, Azzam?" ask Rayyan.

" Today to Mushola. Brother eat first, let it heal quickly." persuaded Zahra.

" I'm a hassle, huh, Za?"

" Son, don't talk! Now eat, Zahra bribe." insisted Zahra not to be denied.

Rayyan only complies when Zahra forces her to open her mouth. The woman in front of him was more fierce than her mother.

" Assalamu'alaikum" said Azzam, opening the door.

" Wa'alaikumsalam, is it over? Eat first, the food is good to put on the table." Zahra replied.

" That big baby can't eat alone, Yang?" azzam taunted his cousin.

" Your wife made a meal!" sumpul Rayyan's.

" Here, Deck. Let Mas feed Rayyan!" Azzam took over the food at the hands of his wife.

Zahra knew her husband didn't like it when he was considerate of others even though it was still his brother. From the very beginning they were married, the man was indeed very possessive.

Finished feeding Rayyan, Azzam sat beside his wife on the sofa. Zahra who is busy playing children's games on her phone to throw saturation is not aware of her husband's flat gaze.

" Deck...!" exclaim Azzam annoyed.

" Why, Mas? Did you finish your Bang Ray bribe? Now Mas is eating too." said Zahra while focusing on his phone.

" You're not very sensitive, Dek!" murmur Azzam.

" Oh my God, my... Why, anyway?"

" Boat," whined Azzam.

" Hhh... You are not sick, Mom!"

Despite the grumbling, Zahra continued to feed her husband until the food ran out. Seeing Rayyan who had been sleeping soundly, Azzam also put his head on his wife's lap.

" I'm tired, huh?" lirih Zahra's.

" Hm... Can I sleep a little, Dek?"

" Yes, I need a rest too. Go to sleep, my dear husband." Zahra rubbed her husband's hair gently.

When Azzam was asleep in Zahra's lap, the door opened slowly. The figure of the man in a white coat was smirking without sin entering Zahra.

" Hey, pretty sister-in-law." said Ben.

" What's up, Doctor?" sahut Zahra plan.

" There's nothing, just want to see your sister-in-law."

" Hhh... Is there no other job?"

" It's over, it's coming home."

Zahra only smiled a little and then rubbed her husband's writhing head back in his sleep.

" Doctor_.." call Zahra.

" Call me, Ben. My work hours are over, not the doctor anymore." said Ben.

" Alright, Ben... Could you please get me my phone, it looks like there's a message."

" No need to say pretty sister-in-law, just tell me if you need anything."

Ben took the phone on the nightstand and gave it to Zahra. There was no further discussion because Zahra was focused on the message she was reading.

" Astaghfirullah_...!"
