Holy Marriage

Alan's forehead frowned at the number calling. Stefie. What are these nights Stefi called? That question made Alan quickly answer the phone.
“Halo!” greet Alan while attaching a flat object to the cheek.
“Sister, I'm in the hospital now,” Stefi said across.
“Why?” Alan immediately got up and stood up. “You sick?”
“It wasn't me who was sick, but Sister Anna was in an accident.”
Alan was surprised to the point that his phone slid down from his grasp as his fingers felt limp and hard to control. Luckily his phone was fine, still on when he re-attached it to the ear. Stefi's voice was still clear.
“What is the condition now? He's fine, right?” ask Alan.
“Sister Anna is not pa-pa, really. Outside wounds,” replied Stefi. “Tadi on the road I happen to squirm there are people crowding. No idea Anna's sister fell because of bumping into the sidewalk.”
Alan breathed a sigh of relief. He sat back on the side of the bed. “Thank God. Stef, I'm sure Anna is okay.”
“So it's been checked everything is no problem. Just an external wound. Don't worry.”
“Please do not report this problem to Papa, Mama, what else is Herlambang's Father,”
“Lah, why? They should know about Anna, right?”
“I don't want them to worry about Anna. I also don't want Papa's memepetin if Papa knows Anna's accident. Plus, I don't want my father-in-law to see me not be able to keep Anna. You please take care of Anna first!”
“Iya. But Alan's brother came here, yeah. Get Anna's sister. You see, Anna's sister has been given home.”
The prestige that had exceeded the mountain again appeared in Alan's mind.
“This is Stef, Anterin Anna is coming home. Sister can't pick up.”
“Why?”
“Just obey my orders.”
“Busy sister, yes?”
“Yes. I'm busy.”
“Ya let Stefi anter.”
The conversation is cut off and Alan throws the cell phone into the bed. Alan wishes Anna had called and told him. But the hope was not fulfilled, the phone was quiet, there was no chat or ringing the phone that was the source of Anna. Now, he was just waiting for Anna's return.
But the assumption was wrong, he was wide-eyed when he read the incoming message from Stefi who said that Anna was not sent home, but returned to Herlambang's house. It is said that the story, Anna had told about her accident to Herlambang and Herlambang immediately rushed to the hospital to visit Anna. Anna asked to be taken home to her father's house.
Alan tepok. Now her parents know about the incident. If this is the case, is it possible that he did not come to his father-in-law's house to see his wife's condition? What would her in-laws think if she didn't come there? Yes, he pretended not to know. It was as if he had not heard from Anna. Anna also did not inform her of the accident.
