A Husband's Love

Remember, Our Covenant

"Still open seven," said the doctor calmly. Being used to it or having nothing to worry about, the doctor looked relaxed and spoke to the nurse. The doctor and nurse were joking with each other. The doctor moved his leg out of the room again, making Andre even more anxious.

"Doctor, don't come out again. My wife is in so much pain. What if the baby's born the doctor hasn't been in this room?" ask Andre to worry. Doctor smile.

"The nurse will monitor him, you don't need to worry," replied the doctor calmly and smiled then out of the room Sinta.

Amidst her pain, Sinta heard all Andre's words and saw her worries, but not the slightest bit of her heart was touched. His heart was upset that Andre called him wife. The pain is back on the attack. And Sinta would rather hold onto the side of the bed than hold onto Andre's hand.

Sinta, feel the pain more terrible than before. His mouth did not stop whimpering if the pain came. Even the baby's movements forced her to push.

"Mom, it's not time to push. Don't just yet. Later after opening ten," the nurse suggested. Sinta ignored the nurse's advice. Even with pushing, Sinta felt her pain slightly lessened.

"Love, listen to the nurse's advice. Your energy will run out if you keep pushing. It's not the time yet" said Andre softly. His hand rubbed Sinta's back-to-back waist. I want Sinta to throw Andre's hand, but the power is no longer there for that.

Andre observed Sinta's body behind him. The first body that gives him pleasure. The slender body that used to hug him spoiled. Now only with a round body with swollen legs. Andre, remembering Cindy's pregnancy. The woman who greatly pampered her and served some helpers. It could be said during pregnancy Cindy did nothing meaningful at home, just to take her shoes. Cindy sent a maid. Not infrequently Andre helps put on shoes for Cindi.

Then what about Sinta?, how did she go through her own pregnancy?. The question swirled in his head. Even now Sinta chose to give birth normally, inversely proportional to Cindy who chose Caesar because she did not want to feel the pain of contractions. Is it because of cost?. Andre's gaze turned to the nurse who took out the baby clothes from Sinta's bag. Rey's used baby clothes Bella gave her.

Andre felt pain in his heart. Even for the welcome of baby Sinta there is nothing special. In his home baby clothes are very much even there is a tag that has not been removed.

Andre stupidest. Looking at her own appearance, with the luxury items attached to her body did not match the baby clothes that the nurse was arranging on the table. Andre felt ashamed of himself. Andre bowed.

"Suster, call her doctor sus!, It's getting sicker," Sinta said while moaning.

"For a moment, Mom, I called her doctor,"

A few minutes later, the doctor came in with the nurse and a midwife. The midwife told Sinta to lie on her back. Check the baby's heart rate and check the birth canal.

"Nine doctors have been opened" said the midwife. The doctor approached Sinta and gave instructions on how to push so that the baby was born quickly. The nurse was busy preparing the birth equipment.

"Open ten, come on, mom. Head toward the stomach when pushing yes!" ask doctor. Follow the doctor's advice. Andre held Sinta's hand. Both are cold sweaty.

Once, twice and three times, Sinta has strained and followed the doctor's advice. There was no sign the baby was coming out.

"Come on, push again. Vim. Remember soon you'll meet your baby." The doctor encouraged Sinta while looking at the birth canal. Sinta back straining and straining.

"I'm tired of doctors," said Sinta weakly and placed her head back on the pillow. Andre was getting more scared and agitated at Sinta who was getting weaker.

"Doctor, my wife seems to be running out of energy.

It's better Caesar. I don't want anything to happen to the two of them" Andre said worriedly. His hand still held Sinta's hand.

"That's the last way, if Sinta's mother can no longer," replied the doctor.

"Mother Sinta, listen to me!. You still have a mother, right?" ask the doctor and Sinta nodded weakly.

"Imagine the doctor's face is the face of your mother who wants you and your baby safe. Here's your hand, raba!. It's your baby's head" the doctor said and directed Sinta's hand to touch the baby's head. Sinta back up and push. Sinta could feel her stomach swaying as the doctor pulled her baby. Sinta felt relieved and dropped her head back on the pillow.

Andre smiled and felt relieved when the baby was pulled. Then stunned when he saw the doctor rubbing the baby's chest, buttocks and back. But the baby still did not speak. The doctor took the baby to the next room and Andre followed him.

The doctor, along with others, tried to help the baby. Now the baby is lifted with his legs on top. His butt was patted, but the baby was still. The doctor put the baby on the table. Swiping his back and chest. Many times doctors do that, the baby is still silent. Andre was silent and crying. Recalling she rejected the baby and almost told Sinta to abort her. Andre's body shook as he approached the table. Baby girl with closed eyes on the table.

"We've tried sir, but we're not the owners of life. I hope you are stoic. Seeing the condition of Sinta's mother, we wait for her condition to improve to tell this," said the resigned doctor.

Seeing his daughter's face, Andre's heart was sliced back. Her daughter's cheeks were exactly like her sister's Agnes cheeks. Andre's hand reached out to take the baby and held it. Sinta's last sling asked her to give her a final hug when she divorced Sinta.

"I'm sorry, son, I'm sorry." Andre was crying while holding the baby. His voice echoed in the room. Doctors and nurses can only turn their faces away from their grief.

"Son, I beg you, come back for your mother. He's been having a lot of trouble defending you. Return son!. I promise I'll take care of you both if you come back,"

Andre continued to cry and regretted his actions first. Removing this baby is not as easy as removing Sinta first. Andre was still holding it as if he did not want the baby to be placed when the doctor asked for the baby.

Andre kissed the cheek of the baby and suddenly felt his hand wet.

Oek... Oek...Oek

The baby was crying and peeing. The doctor and nurse approached Andre. Ask the baby and check back. The doctor smiled and asked the nurse to get the baby clothes from Sinta's room.

"It's a miracle sir" said the doctor smiling. Andre wiped his tears and stroked his daughter's face again. Her heart was happy beyond her happiness when her daughter was born to Cindy.

The doctor and Andre walked into Sinta's room. The woman was ready to be cleaned by the midwife. Seeing the baby Sinta smiled. He had no idea what had happened before.

"Our daughter is very beautiful" said Andre who was sitting near the bed Sinta and the baby was placed next to Sinta. Sinta ignored, she just focused on looking at the baby's face.

"I'm out for a second. Sister, put them in!" pamit Andre's. The nurse smiled and nodded.

A few minutes later, Andre returned to Sinta's room. His hands were holding plastic bags filled with food.

Andre took out an isotonic drink and gave it to Sinta. Sinta just shut up.

"At the mother's drink, it's okay," suggested the nurse who saw Sinta was not willing to accept a drink from Andre. The nurse suspected Sinta was afraid of drinking carelessly because she had just given birth. Sinta was forced to accept and put the drink back on the table near her bed.

"Go! thank you for being here waiting for my daughter to be born" said Sinta coldly. When he saw the nurse coming out of the room.

"Yes, I'm leaving, thank you for keeping her and for giving birth to my daughter, but I want to know. Can I give him a name?"

"No, she's just my daughter. And only I have the right to give him a name. Go then!. You promised not to ask me for what you gave me. So please, remember and do not break your promise" replied Sinta coldly.

"I just wanted to give my daughter Sinta a name" Andre said listlessly. He did not expect Sinta to say that.

"Don't call her your daughter!. Don't you remember our agreement?. You will not take back what you have given me including your saliva and seeds. Remember, the agreement is stamped," said Sinta fiercely. Really, he no longer wanted to see Andre there.

Andre was dumbest in light of their agreement. Again he did not expect Sinta to be that smart. And this is the result of him who did not think long to sign their agreement.

His heart is getting tighter. The foolish man looked even more stupid with his body shaken from crying.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Sinta. I'll make up for all my mistakes. But let me call her my daughter. I've fallen in love with my daughter, I'm sorry Sinta" said Andre begging and crying. He did not care anymore when the nurse came back into the room. The nurse, who understood the situation, put her foot out again.

"I'm sorry I accepted but your regret is too late, leave. The thing I want right now is not to see you," Sinta said coldly.
