Episode 10

Andini felt her body was feeling a bit better, so she immediately went to the kitchen to cook for her beloved husband. She felt sorry for him, as he'd only been eating the maid's cooking, which Hendra said didn't suit his taste. Basically, Hendra needed his wife's touch in everything; everything depended on the gentle Andini.

Even the clothes he wore every day had to be Andini's choice; otherwise, he would sulk and feel ignored. That's why, as soon as she felt a little better, Andini would immediately go in or do something to make Hendra happy. The most important thing was that the bed should always be warm so that no other woman would enter their lives.

Moreover, today he was also lazing around at home and kept following his wife around. Hendra was delighted with Andini's gradually improving condition. His anxiety about bad things happening disappeared. However, if her weakness and vomiting blood continued, he would force Andini to go home and see Purnama.

"Let me help you, Maam." Wati felt uneasy just staying silent.

"No need, you just clean the house." Andini refused while washing spinach.

"Alright, then I'll mop the floor first." Wati immediately left the kitchen.

"Mop everything, okay? And dry it quickly because I'm afraid of slipping." Andini requested.

"Yes, Maam." Wati replied from a distance.

The menu she was going to prepare was spinach soup and skipjack tuna sambal, Hendra's favorite food. Andini washed the spinach while humming a little tune because her heart was so joyful. She was grateful that after the bitterness of her past life, she was now happy with a good man.

"Allahu Akbar!" Andini was startled because there was a big leech in the spinach she had just washed.

She quickly flipped it over again to look for the slimy black creature, but it was gone. Andini even poured out the spinach and added salt, but the leech was nowhere to be found.

"Did I see it wrong? But it was really there just now." Andini wondered, taking a deep breath.

Not wanting to dwell on her hallucination, Andini finished washing the spinach and then chopped some corn to add to it. Though in her heart, she was still wondering where the huge black leech had gone.

"Ugh."

"Ugh, nauseous again." Andini complained as she headed to the bathroom.

She quickly closed the door so that Hendra, who was watching his favorite TV show, wouldn't hear her vomiting again in their bathroom.

"Ugh, ugh."

Splash.

Blood poured out like water from a glass being poured from Andini's mouth. This time it wasn't lumpy but flowed like ordinary water. The color was also not as black as yesterday, but her chest felt very painful.

"Haaaahhhh, my chest hurts so much." Andini complained, quickly flushing away her vomit.

After cleaning up, she took the heartburn medication the doctor had given her, but she felt something moving around in her mouth. Andini quickly grabbed a mirror to see what it was. The pregnant woman was shocked because what was stuck to her tongue was a black leech.

"Aaaagkkh!"

"Oh my God, what is this?!" Andini thought to herself, quickly trying to grab the leech.

The leech was very difficult to pick up or hold with her thin hands, making Andini panic because she was afraid of swallowing it. Besides, since when did the leech get into her mouth? Andini hadn't eaten anything from morning until now, eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

"Honey!"

"Honey!"

Andini was startled to see Hendra suddenly enter the room, his face also looked very panicked. As if something had happened, Andini actually wanted to tell him that there was a leech in her mouth.

"Honey, you need to go to the store right now, Asep hanged himself, Wawan said!" Hendra was indeed very panicked.

"Oh my God, how could this happen?!" Andini exclaimed in shock.

"I don't know, that's why I'm going to the store first to see the situation there!" Hendra replied, taking his car keys.

"Can I come along, Honey?" Andini asked, confused.

"No, you stay home! Let me handle things there." Hendra insisted and quickly left, kissing his wife's cheek briefly.

"Be careful, Honey!" Andini shouted, walking after her husband who was already far away.

Hendra sped off in his car towards the store to see one of his employees who was reported to have committed suicide. In fact, Asep was still a cashier with Hendra yesterday and seemed cheerful. Suddenly now he hanged himself, of course it shocked Hendra who was having his me time at home.

"What's wrong, Maam?" Wati asked, rushing over.

"One of the shop employees committed suicide," Andini replied briefly.

"Oh my God, how could this happen?!" Wati was also shocked.

"I don't know, please get me some cold water," Andini requested, immediately sitting down on the sofa.

Wati rushed to get a glass of water and added ice cubes to it, it was Andini's favorite drink now. Andini, who was still shocked by Hendra's news earlier, suddenly remembered that there was a leech that had not been removed from her mouth.

"It's gone, it couldn't have been swallowed, right?!" Andini became confused.

"Here's your water, Maam," Wati said, handing her the cold water.

"Wati, please look at my mouth, wear a mask so you don't smell it," Andini asked.

The one being ordered obeyed because that was her job. Wati put on a mask and looked at Andini's mouth. Everything looked clean, there was nothing that caused a bad smell, there wasn't even a single cavity in her teeth.

"There's nothing there, Maam," said Wati.

"Did you check everything? Are you sure there's nothing there?!" Andini asked, making sure.

"Yes, it's clean, Maam!" Wati nodded, reassuring her boss.

Andini quickly drank a glass of water so her mind wouldn't wander. One thing she felt was strange. Even though she had vomited a lot of blood, she didn't feel weak at all like usual.

"I'm going to cook, you continue mopping," Andini instructed.

"Maam!"

"Yes?"

Because Wati called her again, Andini stopped walking. She looked at her maid who seemed a little scared. Wati was indeed scared, she looked left and right and finally opened her mouth.

"Have you ever felt anything strange?" Wati asked hesitantly.

"Strange how?" Andini was confused by her maid's question.

"Every night I always dream of being trampled by someone with a tall body, even taller than this house," Wati explained.

Andini, who had experienced supernatural things, became thoughtful. Even though she had never experienced such a dream, she couldn't take Wati's experience lightly either.
