Rena Fever

The night has turned to morning.  The sun's rays that penetrated from the ventilation openings entered Rena's room.  Rena was not disturbed at all.  The blanket was pulled more and more to cover Rena's tiny body.

 "Rena, you're not awake?"  Lukman asked when he found Rena pulling the blanket over her body.  Rena was silent and did not answer Lukman's question.

 When Lukman was about to remove the blanket covering Rena's body, Rena held the blanket in place.  With her back to Lukman, Rena muttered, "Go!  Leave me!  I don't want to be disturbed."  Rena's voice sounded so hoarse.

 Rena felt her body cold and shivered.  Rena's body temperature is also hotter than usual.  Rena's head also felt so dizzy, while her eyes were like glue, they didn't want to open.

 "Rena, what are you doing?"  Lukman asked when he saw Rena's body covered in a blanket shivering.

 There was a knock on Rena's room door, it made Lukman turn towards the door, but not with Rena who still faithfully covered herself with a thick blanket.  Lukman immediately got out of bed and opened the door.

 "Sorry, Sir, for interrupting the time.  You're already waiting at the dining table," said the housekeeper after Lukman opened the bedroom door.

 Lukman turned towards his bed.  Looking at Rena who doesn't seem to move at all.  After that Lukman returned to see the household assistant.  "I'm sorry, tell me that we both can't have breakfast together! Thank you," said Lukman explaining.

 "Okay, Sir," replied the housekeeper who then left in front of Rena's room.  After the household assistant left, Lukman closed the door again and approached Rena.  He rubbed Rena's head gently.

 "Rena, you have a fever," Lukman exclaimed when he felt Rena's temperature was very hot.  Rena, who was shivering, was silent and did not respond to Lukman's words.

 Shortly after, with trembling lips, Rena said, "Please turn off the air conditioner! open the window! and let the sunlight in!"  Rena's words were immediately given a head nod by Lukman.  Lukman rushed to do what Rena told him to do.  After that, Lukman immediately looked for his cellphone.  He called a private doctor to come to check on Rena.

 "Can you ask the housekeeper to make me warm tea!" asked Rena, who still kept her eyes closed.  Rena doesn't sleep.  She could still hear the sounds around her.  However, soon Rena forced her eyes to open.

 "Okay, I'll tell her to bring you waem tea!" said Lukman with a look that looked so worried.  After that Lukman went out of the room to find a household assistant for Rena's family.

 After Lukman's death, Rena tries to wake up from her sleep.  Rena's head felt so dizzy.  Rena wants to change places to sleep.  The place she slept in last night was so hot it made Rena uncomfortable.  Rena slowly shifted her body to the other side of the bed—the one Lukman used last night.

 Rena turned towards the bedroom door which was suddenly opened.  There she saw Lukman, a housekeeper, a doctor, and her father.  However, Rena didn't care.  She chose to lie down again carefully.

 Rendi approached Rena.  "Rena," Rendi called while placing the back of his hand on Rena's forehead.  However, not long ago the father put it on Rena's forehead, Rena brushed off Rendi's hand.  She didn't want Rendi to touch her.  Rena's heart has been made sick and broken by Rendi.  The man she loves, who has the heart to destroy her daughter's future to save the company, Rena hates that.

"Don't go near me!" said Rena, shivering.

 "Your body is very hot," commented Rendi.  "Doctor quickly checks my daughter!"  Rendi ordered the doctor to immediately examine Rena.

 An examination was held, but Rena had refused.  "Just let me die!" Rena screamed.  Lukman, who had only just met Rena, was so aware of the girl's stubborn nature.  Lukman gently persuaded Rena, as well as the doctor who gently persuaded Rena, finally Rena wanted to be examined and given medicine.

 "Her body is so weak.  No food intake enters the body.  Rena also seemed exhausted.  Now let her rest first! in half an hour please give Rena some porridge," explained the doctor.  Rena just listened to it while closing her eyes.

 "Then I'll excuse myself, okay?  Here are the medicines to lower the fever and the pain relievers."  The doctor handed the medicine to Lukman.  Lukman swiftly accepted the medicine and listened to the doctor's explanation of the rules for taking the medicine for Rena.  After explaining and giving the medicine, the doctor said goodbye to go home.  Now in the room live Lukman, Rena, and Rendi.

 "Rena, get well soon, son!" Rendi prayed for Rena.  While the girl who is being prayed for is just silent.

 Rendi patted Lukman's shoulder.  "I'll go out first, you take care of Rena first, okay?" Rendi said to Lukman.

 Lukman's head nodded.  "Okay," answered Lukman briefly.  After that Rendi left Rena's room.

 Lukman turned to Rena's body which was still covered by a blanket.  Then Lukman approached the bed and sat on the edge of the bed.  Lukman's one hand tried to touch Rena's body.  "Rena, are you asleep?"  Lukman asked.  Rena heard it, but the girl chose silence.

 ***

 In the afternoon, Rena felt that her headache had decreased, and her high body temperature had also decreased.  But Rena still felt weak, she was reluctant to go take a shower.  Now Rena is playing on her cell phone for entertainment.

 "Rena."  The call made Rena turn towards her bedroom door.  It shows Lukman who is smiling at Rena.  Lukman's smile was not returned by Rena.  She just looked at Lukman briefly, then returned to focus on her cell phone screen.

 Lukman let out a long breath seeing Rena's attitude who was still indifferent.  "I am your husband, Rena.  Can't you just be a little nicer to me?"  Lukman asked.

 Rena immediately put her phone on the bed.  She looked at Lukman in annoyance.  "I think it's a good thing to keep quiet and not talk to you.  Instead of me talking but touching your feelings," replied Rena.  Then Rena chose to get out of bed.

 "Rena," Lukman called when Rena passed him.  "You are still sick, be careful!"  Lukman commemorates Rena.  However, Rena did not listen to Lukman's words.

 Rena's still limp body took her to the ground floor.  Rena immediately sat down and held her head when she arrived at the dining table.  Meanwhile, Lukman had followed Rena from behind.

 "Are you all right, Rena?"  Lukman asked while touching Rena's shoulder.

Rena pushed Lukman's hand away.  "Don't touch me," said Rena.  Lukman obeyed and immediately sat beside Rena.

 At the dining table, Rendi was already sitting there.  Rendi's eyes sparkled as he looked at Rena and Lukman.  There was something that Rendi had wanted to ask the new bride this morning.  But unfortunately, it had to be delayed.  Before lunch was served at the dining table, Rendi opened his voice, "How are you now, Rena?  Is it okay?"  Rendi made small talk first.

 "As seen," replied Rena curtly.  Randi nodded at that.  Lukman was just listening.

 "Hm… what caused you to get sick like this?"  Randy's eyebrow rose.  However, Rena did not answer him.  Rendi again threw questions, not at Rena but Lukman.

 "Lukman, how was your first night?  What did you do to make my daughter sick like this, huh?"  After throwing the question, Rendi laughed.  "You shouldn't have done it until it drags on so that Rena doesn't get tired like the doctor said!" added Rendi again.

 Lukman turned to Rena.  While Rena stared blankly at the table.  His eyes heated up again.  Slowly tears fell from Rena's eyes.  Rena does not know whether she is still a virgin or not.  Rena really can't tell if she's still a virgin.  Because last night when Rena woke up she had changed clothes, which Lukman changed.  Rena did not believe the explanation given by Lukman last night.  It could be that Lukman just said that because he didn't want him to get angry.

 "Rena, why are you crying?  Oh, I know, you're shy, aren't you?"  Randy's laughter was heard.  It felt like Rena's heart was getting crushed.  Rena could not understand her father.  Rendi usually gave up his daughter easily just like that.

 Rena wiped her tears.  "Isn't there anything else to talk about?  If there isn't one, a father should be silent," said Rena firmly.

 Randi chuckled at Rena's words.  Rena looked at him seductively.  "Okay, Dad understands if you're shy right?"

 "Em…Dad, how is your company doing now?  Hm, is Rena going to work for Dad's company later?"  Lukman asked, changing the topic.  He knows Rena doesn't like the topic of conversation.  Lukman could see from the look on Rena's face that the girl did not accept their marriage.  But Lukman is sure that over time Rena will be able to accept the marriage.

 "The company is growing well.  Since last night many clients have arrived.  No, I leave Rena's matter to you, Lukman," Rendri replied proudly.

 "Thankfully, I'm glad to hear that.  Thank you for entrusting me to Rena."  When he said the last sentence Lukman looked at Rena who was also looking at Lukman in tears.
