A Husband's Love

Accompanying Maternity Sinta

"Love...." Sinta turned towards the voice that called out to her. A man leaning against the car was smiling at him. Sinta thought for a moment, after remembering the man, Sinta smiled. Holding her distended stomach Sinta approached the man. The man is Sean, it's been almost two weeks he's been stopping here a lot. In front of the supermarket where Sinta was revealed the first time they met. And this afternoon was his lucky day, being able to meet Sinta.

"Son's brother here?, why?" sinta asked in surprise and got closer to Sean.

"Yep, sit there!" invite Sean to point at a young coconut vendor tent near the supermarket. Go hand in hand toward the coconut seller but not a word was said of the two.

Sean gives Sinta a plastic chair without a backrest, then takes a plastic chair for her.

"Bang, coconut water two yes!, the other one does not need to use ice." Sean ordered coconut water for the two of them.

"Sister, sister hasn't answered my question, yet,"

"Which question?"

"Sister, what's in here?" sinta asked in a voice that was deliberately hardened. Sean chuckles.

"Sister, it happened to pass by. Remember you're stopping by for a second. Turns out I was lucky. You come and we're here now. Drinking young coconut water let us get younger," Sean joked, Sinta chuckled.

"Tomorrow to drink a lot of young coconut water ah, so that the younger," reply Sinta made both equally chuckle.

"If you're not just getting younger but making it easier to get the youngest out," Sean joked that he made them laugh. The young coconut water seller laughed.

Sean took the iceless young coconut water from the seller's hand then gave it to Sinta. For Sean himself water his sheep wear ice.

"Bumil can't drink a lot of ice even if you don't have to drink ice," said Sean, Sinta just nodded his head assuring. Sinta's heart warms, the attention that should be obtained from the father of her fetus is precisely someone else who gives attention.

"Still working in a cafe?" ask Sean. Sinta. Since meeting with Andre's family in the hospital two weeks ago, Sinta will resign from Bella's cafe tomorrow. Sinta doesn't want to deal with Andre's family anymore. Sinta promises to repay Bella's kindness in her own way.

"Why?"

"I want to rest first brother, let there be energy later to fight for childbirth," replied Sinta slowly.

"Normal or Caesar,"

"It's normal, brother,"

"You can be normal. Spirit yes!, don't think much. You can be normal" Sean said.

"Thank you brother," replied Sinta lowered her head.

Long enough they chatted, they quickly got along. Joking around and laughing together colored their chatter this afternoon.

"Love, can it be tid..."

"No brother," Sinta cut quickly to make them laugh again.

"Yes, yeah. Be able. What's Kaka?" ask Sinta again. Makes Sean anxious. I want it to feel like he pinched Sinta's cheek but they haven't gotten that close. Sean could only shake his head with a smile.

"I've seen you with Andre in front of jasmine cafes and at stations. That's really you, right?" sean asked, still curious.

"Geez, you have heard Mr. Andre's answer, it's not me" Sinta replied as she turned her face to the right. Sean was not satisfied with Sinta's answer. Sinta then fell silent. Silently Sean observed Sinta's face. The facial sharpener was ordinary but somehow Sean felt pity and wanted to give protection to Sinta.

"Well, if it's not you. My eyes may be wrong" Sean replied. Sinta did not respond to Sean's remarks, she chose to drink her black water.

****

Being surrounded by good people around her brings a positive impact to Sinta's life. Bella, who already considered Sinta like her own sister always gave her attention. Even this month Bella transferred two months of salary for him. Salary last month and salary this month. Last month he only worked two weeks and this month he didn't work at all. When Sinta protests, Bella says it's a windfall for Sinta's fetus.

Sean, though rarely met. The man always sent Sinta a message of motivation. Make Sinta more motivated and more enthusiastic. In fact, not infrequently Sinta smiled to herself read messages from Sean.

His friends are too. They even took care of Sinta more than the others. The six best friends are like brothers to Sinta.

Today, Sinta was relieved. The midterm exam for the even semester or fourth semester for Sinta has been passed. Sinta does not want to leave college, with a distended stomach Sinta always to campus. And according to the estimated day of birth. Sinta will give birth in two weeks.

The next morning at the Sinta residence, the woman was seen relaxing on the porch of her house. Because today is Saturday Sinta not where. Sinta put her pregnant milk before drinking. The fetal kick in her stomach made her waist feel pain, then the pain disappeared, after Sinta rubbed her stomach.

Realizing it was just a false contraction, Sinta again circled her yard. He said moving a lot towards the birth would speed up the opening of the birth. Sinta stops when the contractions reappear. When it was lost Sinta went into the house to clean her body.

In the bathroom, Sinta was surprised to see red patches on her underwear. Although a little, according to the doctor's description, it is one sign of giving birth, Sinta quickly cleaned her body.

Sinta felt more intense contractions. With a grimace and trembling legs Sinta grabbed her bathrobe. Sinta was terrified. By holding onto the wall Sinta was finally able to get out of the bathroom. The contractions are gone. Sinta was wearing her clothes.

Sinta glanced at the clock, the clock hand pointing to the number nine. Sinta opened her phone. Seeing Vina's status, Sinta replied. Saying good-bye to her six best friends. The night after the midterms, the six friends were out of town for the holidays and were just back in town tomorrow.

"Is it time today, son?, your best friend tomorrow comes home from his vacation. Can you wait until tomorrow? It could be that the mother actually told them to go home now, but the mother did not want to disturb their vacation, the mother had much trouble them. They're the only ones we've got in town, son." Sinta stroked her stomach while saying. Trying to persuade the baby to wait for tomorrow.

Sinta's persuasion doesn't work for her baby. Even more often, the contractions strike. Sinta got up from her bed. Insert the phone into her bag and drag a small bag of baby clothes out of the room. Ask the kitchen to make sure the stove is not on and check the refrigerator door. Sinta stopped and held onto the wall when the pain returned. And walk back when the pain stops.

Sinta wiped her own sweat. The online taxi has not yet appeared. Contractions that appear more and more regularly per fifteen minutes. Sinta was sure it was the day of her baby's birth.

With the help of an online driver, Sinta got into the car. Along the way Sinta endured the pain, the driver who glanced at her from the rearviews felt pity but could not do anything about it. The middle-aged man understood how painful it was to give birth.

"Sir, bi. can I ask..please?" tanya Sinta was stamped when the car arrived at the hospital parking lot.

"It can be non" replied the driver quickly. I can't bear to see Sinta in pain. Sinta took out two hundred thousand bills and handed them to the driver.

"This sir, the rest please buy Pampers newborn size. I didn't have time to buy it" Sinta said as she endured the pain and tried to get out of the car. The driver quickly got out of the car and helped Sinta out. The driver called the guarding nurse. The driver placed a bag containing baby clothes on the lap of Sinta who was already sitting on the chair. The nurse quickly pushed Sinta's chair into the hospital.

The screams of the taxi driver calling the nurse were apparently heard by someone heading to his car. That person is Andre. The person who was supposed to accompany Sinta struggled to give birth to her baby. Andre's in this hospital, taking his daughter for immunization. It just so happened that her daughter's milk bottle was left in the car and Cindy told her to take the bottle.

Clearly Andre could see Sinta grimacing in pain and her pale face. Andre was silent in his place. Really, Andre felt a tightness in his chest. Seeing Sinta himself by holding the bag in his chair made Andre sliced. Andre got into the car and sat behind the wheel. Andre hit the steering wheel vaporizing the tightness in his chest. His eyes heated up, the man did not realize his cheeks were wet with tears. Andre wiped his tears and got out of the car after picking up the milk bottle.

Andre handed the bottle to Cindy without speaking. His mind was filled with Sinta whom he saw in the parking lot. Andre follows Cindy to the doctor's room when Cindy's name is called. Andre gasped when he heard his daughter's cry being injected.

Out of the doctor's room, Andre follows Cindy's steps by opposing the baby's kit bag. The man pulled the phone out of his pocket.

"Honey, I have a need to go to college. You get home by taxi. I've ordered the taxi" said Andre while researching the license plate of the car that entered the parking lot, then he waved at one of the cars.

"Mas, it's Saturday" Cindy replied.

"Just for a moment, there is a student draft to be signed," Andre replied as he opened the car door. Inserting the baby bag and pushing Cindy slowly into the car.

"Don't long go home." Andre nodded. Andre returned to the hospital after making sure the taxi was completely out of the parking lot.

Andre went down the hospital corridor, looking for VK's room as the nurse had told him. Andre turned his steps to the right when he heard someone take Pampers to a nurse.

"Sir, who is the patient?" the nurse asked after receiving Pampers from the middle-aged man.

"I'm a taxi driver who took non earlier sister. He asked for help buying Pampers, he said he could not buy. All of you, here's the change" said the driver then passed Andre who was getting closer to the VK room.

"Suster, a patient named Sinta. Is this really the room?"

"Sir, who is the patient?"

"I'm her husband doc,"

"Thank God you came, please come in, sir" the nurse said, opening the door.

"Still open five," the doctor said after examining Sinta's birth canal. The doctor removed her gloves and threw them into the trash can in the room.

"Mother's husband doesn't come" the doctor asked quietly. Sinta.

"I'm the doctor's husband" Andre said from the door. Sinta. Seeing Andre made Sinta upset. Sinta just shut up. He did not want the doctor and nurse to know more about him.

"How many hours do you think Doc's newborn is?" ask Sinta. The contractions reappear. Sinta grimaced and held onto the side of the bed. His face was pale with sweat pouring out.

"For another three or four hours at a time, to reduce the pain, you can wipe the waist of this mother," said the doctor then out of the room.

"Mom can call us by pressing this bell" the nurse told Sinta. The nurse also came out of the room.

Andre approached and sat down beside the bed Sinta. Sinta wanted to talk but the pain came back. Sinta who did not want to see Andre chose to turn her back. Andre followed the doctor's advice, gently rubbing Sinta's stomach. Sinta threw Andre's hand.

"Go, I don't want to see you" Sinta said after the pain stopped.

"Love, I'm sorry. Let me accompany you to maternity," replied Andre lethargic. Somehow her heart wanted to remain beside Sinta at this moment.

"I forgive you. Go I can be a penny..." Sinta felt a more severe pain until the bed also vibrated due to the vibration of Sinta's body. Sinta took a breath and threw it away slowly.

Andre took the small towel that was located on the table. Andre wiped off Sinta's sweat which was as big as corn kernels. Sinta again groaned, the baby seemed to urge to come out. The pain around his stomach and waist caused his breathing to choke in his throat. Contractions are becoming more frequent and frequent. Andre who saw that pressed the bell. Nurse's coming.

Seeing Sinta's tremendous pain, the nurse called the doctor.

"Still open seven," said the doctor.
