Best Defense

chapter 53

"Huh? How could my wife have survived that long? He's exhausted, you want to kill him?" nino protest, cut off doctor's affection.

Franda grabbed her husband's hand, "Honey." she said, shaking her head.

"Can't do it, honey! It's been over eight hours. I won't let this go much longer" Nino said.

"Hey! I suffered, but why are you so excited? You better shut up, your rant is making my head hurt!" snapped Franda, Nino's hand hit because she was upset to hear her husband's excessive babbling.

Doctor Clara smiled, while the nurse named Elvira was seen holding back laughter as she watched Franda nagging her husband.

"Mom will be fine, sir. This is common in someone who will give birth, do not worry, there are nurses who will continue to monitor their development. If in 24 hours there is no progress, we will do SC surgery." explained Dr. Clara accompanied by a sweet smile on her lips.

Nino fell silent and nodded in understanding, not answering the doctor again.

"Then, excuse me. Mother, hang on." Dr. Clara rubbed the back of Franda's hand gently, her smile did not disappear at all.

"Darling, how about surgery? I'm worried about you." said Nino after Dr. Clara and the nurse left.

Franda shook her head as she stared intently at her husband, "No! I can still do it!" reject Franda.

Nino let out a rough breath, not knowing what to say to soften his wife's stubbornness. Franda's pale face made him even more anxious, having a child was indeed his greatest wish, but he did not want his wife to suffer for another 24 hours. Eight hours alone had already severely tortured him, and now had to do it until tomorrow? It's insane!

Two hours later, Clara's doctor came back to check on Franda, but the situation was still the same, the dilation had not increased. The doctor decided to induce it to stimulate the baby to come out faster.

"We will be inducted now, hopefully there will be a later development. I'm going to put this pill in." explained Dr. Clara as she showed the corn seed-sized pill in her hand.

Nino and Franda nodded, letting the doctor do anything.

"The contract will be more intense after this." continued Dr. Clara reminded.

Franda could no longer respond, the contractions so tormenting her. Many times He took a breath and threw it away quickly, his hands covering his face, holding back the tears that kept coming down along with his contract.

Nino was silent, his hand did not stop wiping his wife's arm, there was nothing he could do besides, if he could only hope that he would replace Franda.

"Are you, ok?" he asked foolishly, what an inappropriate pleasantry.

"No!" answer Franda quickly.

"Yes, ofcourse no!" Nino smiled at his wife's reply, almost even laughing, making Franda look at him sharply, but a second later laughed.

"I'm sorry!" said Nino.

"Oh, bullshit! Stop talking, I'm not expecting this pain, and you just make it getting worse!" franda spray.

"Can I kiss you?" asked Nino again, guiltlessly continuing to tease his irritated wife.

Nino instead of being afraid, he approached Franda, "Thanks, baby! I love you!" he said after landing a kiss on his wife. Smiling triumphantly.

The contraction became more painful after induction, Franda's hands even shook, and repeatedly vomited. The process continued to repeat for three hours. Doctors also visit every hour to see the development of the condition. Niente. There's no progress at all. The woman was completely exhausted, her weak body made Clara's doctor decide to give her an epidural injection so Franda could rest for a while.

After getting an epidural injection Franda finally closed her eyes, she used the opportunity to restore her strength. The same thing in the past by Nino, awake since yesterday also has definitely drained his energy.

Almost three hours Franda was fast asleep, he woke up when he felt contractions in his stomach again. Pressing the hospital bed button to raise the backrest, take a sitting position, catch your breath while enjoying the sensation of pleasure in his hips. She let Nino fall asleep on the couch, giving her husband time to rest for a while longer.

The clock was shown at 10:42am when a nurse checked it again, and gave the second induction pill.

"I give you another misoprostol, Mom!" another nurse named Bianka said. His hands deftly checked the Franda infusion hose first before inserting the pill.

Franda nodded, She stared long at the nurse in front of her with teary eyes. Smile meaningfully at the nurse. "May I hug you?" franda asked suddenly, his words of course surprised the tiny-faced nurse.

But before long the nurse smiled at him, placed the tray containing the induction pill on the table, then approached to hug Franda.

"Your name is like my mother, Bianka. She died when I was four" Franda said, hugging, answering the nurse's confusion.

"I'm sorry." said the nurse, she also felt sad from Franda's eyes.

"It's ok. I'm fine now, thanks for letting me hug you." Franda smiled after taking off her embrace.

The nurse named Bianka nodded, then put on her gloves and continued her work.

Nino awakens shortly after the nurse leaves Franda's treatment room, yawning and shaking her head violently to relieve her lingering sleepiness. Walking to the hospital bed, rubbing his wife's grimacing head.

"Sorry, I slept too long" he said with a regretful look.

Franda did not answer, the pain that grew louder to attack made her unable to respond to her husband's words anymore.

The situation did not change until the clock showed at two o'clock in the afternoon, the doctor who returned to visit either had to decide how many times Franda had to be operated because there was something wrong with the contents. Although the baby remains fine, it does not seem to be going out through a normal delivery.

Franda who initially refused was forced to follow the doctor's words, he did not want to be selfish and endanger the baby he had long awaited.

Several nurses were busy carrying out various tests before the operation, making sure Franda was fine as the operation progressed. Someone put a catheter, someone checked the blood pressure, someone injected something in his right arm to find out if Franda would have an allergy to the liquid.

In the treatment room already looks Mom, and Mama who hopes anxious. They believe Franda will be fine, but there are still concerns there, considering that SC surgery is also painful, not during childbirth, but after.

"You can do it, honey!" mother said just before Franda headed to the operating room, she kissed her daughter's forehead.

Mama Rossa also did the same, strengthening her daughter-in-law with a kiss on the 32-year-old woman's forehead.

"Here we go!"
