Aidin's chest feels tight like a big rock. It was not strong to see Zahra who continued to complain in pain. Closer his face right on the face of the wife who was also filled with tears. The word of pain that continued to be ejected from the ripe lips continued to slash the heart.
"New opening five, Doc. It's still a long time" a nurse told the doctor who had just entered.
"We wait another thirty minutes, if there's no change we have to operate."
At once, Zahra shook her head. "I don't want to be operated on, however I have to give birth normally" she said, crying.
Aidin can only be silent, should as a husband he can decide, but instead confused what to do. On the one hand want to follow the advice of the doctor, but on the other hand do not want to force the desire of his wife who seems to insist on refusing to be operated on.
Zahra curled up, for a second did not release Aidin's hand to channel the pain back to attack.
All the doctors stared fixedly at Aidin.
From the look of his eyes was like asking for the man's help. Because, it can not be allowed to continue to fear something happens to the baby and also the mother.
Aidin took off Zahra's hand slowly. Approaching the medical team who were standing a little far away.
Zahra looked at the back of those discussing, out of all the people there, there was only one person who was the tallest. Not only his body was like a man, but also his broad steps.
However, Zahra believes doctors are fulfilling her request that all female doctors want to address.
"How, Master? What do we do?"
"Do your best. I don't want my wife and son in danger. Whatever the cost is I'll pay."
"But if Madam Zahra does not want to be operated on we have to do another method, which is to give stimulant drugs. And it's gonna hurt more than usual."
What am I supposed to do?
Aidin again approached Zahra, he could not choose between the two paths.
Eager to open the mask, but it was undo, afraid Zahra was shocked by his presence and would have an effect on the birth of their baby. Finally Aidin's hand stroked the wife's distended stomach and chanted a prayer in a soft voice, "La ilaha illallahul 'adzimul halim. La ilaha illallahu rabbul 'arsyil 'adzim. Laa ilaha illallahu rabbus samawati wal ardli wa rabbul 'arsyil 'adzim."
Then, read the letter of Insyiqaq verses 1-5 as Ustadz Haidar suggested it in his heart.
There was a strange vibration that Zahra did not understand, inexplicably his heart felt cool when he saw eyes that were only a few cent away from his face.
The gaze was familiar to him, but Zahra brushed off the enveloping feeling.
I can't remember Aidin's mas, he couldn't possibly care about me.
Before long, Zahra felt another contraction, even this time the pain grew more intense. Aidin raised Zahra's head and held her tightly.
"It's been opening ten, Doc," said the sister slightly shouting, a smile expanding at the corner of her lips with the unexpected.
The face that had been filled with anxiety was now sparkling. All the team of doctors raised their thumbs towards Aidin who was still loyal to be next to the patient.
"Mrs Zahra should hear my instructions" said Dr Vellin.
Zahra nodded in agreement. Must be strong for the sake of the baby who will soon be present to the world.
Unlike earlier, this time the pain never subsided, until Zahra gripped whatever was around him, not reluctant to claw and hurt them mercilessly.
"Once again, madam, his head is in sight."
"One more time, dear. You can do it." The heavy voice escaped just like that adorning Zahra's ears. Not the time to focus on who the person is but the baby who seems to want to get out.
Zahra clenched her teeth. Give all his strength to push. His hands held firmly until the baby's crying voice made him smile thinly.
"What's my baby's gender, Doc?" zahra asked with trembling lips.
All this time he did not want the doctor to call it and wanted a surprise when the baby was really born.
"Baby Lady, it's so pretty." The doctor helped unbutton Zahra's upper shirt.
Behind the mask was Aidin's lips reviewed a smile. Although it can not be free to pour out his affection, at least can see the most important moment. Witnessing the birth of her daughter.
My daughter, this is Papa, son. Finally papa can see you.
Clenching his hands, harboring the desire to kiss the two women he currently loved.
"Where is the papa? Your daughter must be immediately in adzani." The doctor pretended not to know.
Zahra's face dimmed. Rubbed his daughter's hair still looking for something on her chest.
"The father's not here, Doc. But there's Brother Hanif, let him make the accusation."
"Who said his father wasn't here." Aidin opened the mask and head covering that made Zahra surprised instead of the cockerel.
Mas Aidin's
Just saying in my heart. Shift his eyes in the other direction. Fear of being swept away by a love that may not be reciprocated. Seven months away, in fact can not make it erase the love that resides.
That means, I didn't hear wrong, so, from now on, he's the one who's encouraging me.
Zahra was fixated on whether she should be happy with the man's presence, or sad that they would soon be separated.
A kiss landed on Zahra's forehead without permission. "I'm here for you and our daughter."
Zahra fell silent remembering everything she did to the man including clawing at him with all her might.
"And I'm going to prosecute our daughter."
Zahra. She could only watch as the doctor gave her daughter to her husband.
The chant of the Adhan is so melodious to decorate the ears, cool to make everyone touched.
When she finished, she laid her little baby beside Zahra. Then take a picture of them and send it to Miss Lilian's phone.
At once also Miss Lilian who was in another room made a video call that Aidin immediately received.
"Mama wants to talk to you." Directing her phone screen in front of Zahra.
Zahra smiled as she looked at Lilian's face from the phone screen. If he could, he wanted to hug tightly and express his happiness.
"Mama misses you, son." Ms. Lilian was sobbing. His hand touched his phone screen.
"I miss Mama too, I'll be home soon."
"Mama is in this hospital" said Aidin in a soft voice. Explain to Zahra who does not know about the whereabouts of her parents.
"Nignian, Mas?" ask Zahra enthusiastically. His eyes looked back at Herman who was lying on the bed.
"Papa's sick, is his heart coming back?"
Aidin smiled faintly, not wanting Zahra to worry. "Calm down, papa's fine."
