Halim was pacing around with a cane in her right hand, her face looking anxious. The elderly man forced to come to the hospital in the middle of the night blind to accompany his favorite daughter-in-law gave birth. All persuasion and seduction from his wife and children were ignored in order to witness firsthand the arrival of the second grandson of the Lim family into the world.
"Just sit down, Ko." Meliana says. She was upset to see her husband overdoing it. A few hours ago they argued because Halim forced her to accompany her to the hospital and a few minutes ago, her husband forced his way into the delivery room. Parents really don't know themselves. At a time when everyone was panicking with Frolline's condition, Halim also made everyone dizzy with his request.
"It has. Just sit down first. Decades ago, you weren't like this, Ko. Time makes people change drastically. And now panic keeps his brain out of his mind again. Or he's senile all of a sudden, thinking inside that his wife isn't his daughter-in-law." Meliana snorted in annoyance. The two were waiting anxiously in front of the delivery room. Not far from the elderly couple looked three assistants on guard.
In the past, while waiting for the birth of Marisa, Halim never cared. Busy working and just waiting at the door of the maternity room. Accompanying him were his mother and mother-in-law. And a different attitude was shown Halim at this time, forced in and willing to argue with Ditya even though the old man finally relented.
On the other hand, inside the maternity room, it appeared that Frolline was clutching Ditya's hand tightly. Squeezing and occasionally clutching the skin of her husband's hand as intense contractions strike. The opening is perfect, Frolline's struggle is one step away from pushing out the baby.
"When the contractions come. Breathe in and push, Mom." The female doctor told. It was seen standing at the end of Frolline's widened legs, accompanied by several other medics.
Ditya had been standing next to Frolline, trying to strengthen and encourage his wife. He let his body into an impingement a few hours ago.
"Koko ..." said Frolline, looking at her anxious husband.
"Yes, Schatzi. You can do it." He recalled the struggle Frolline had during the birth of Dragon. Heavier than it is now, in the land of the people and without the company of the family.
Frolline took a deep breath, then pushed her baby out as she felt the contractions coming again.
"Nr ...." Calling her husband while tightly gripping Ditya's right hand. Frolline's face flushed red as she exerted her remaining strength to push the baby out. Visible veins protruding at the temple, the sweat droplets were decorated on the forehead Frolline.
"Come, Honey. A little more, our baby was born." Ditya cheered on the sidelines of the encouraging sentence that also slid from the doctor's lips.
"Come, Mom. A little more .. already looks his head."
Frolline's struggle was cut off, he stopped pushing. Take a break before struggling for the next time. His breath was stinging, his sight was beginning to twitch. Having experienced a normal birth, it is still not as easy as expected.
"Come, Honey. I love you .. love you so much." Ditya put his lips on his wife's wet forehead while echoing the words of love. Hope all that will strengthen the Frolline in the midst of increasingly declining conditions.
Repeatedly pushing since earlier, Frolline almost gave up and was desperate.
"Come, Mom .. Come on, Mom." Some medics cheered Frolline on. Ditya did the same.
In the rest of his strength, Frolline screeched calling out Ditya's name as he struggled to push out his second son. The relief mixed with excitement as he could feel something being drawn out from the core of his body. A second later, there was a loud cry of a red baby still covered in blood.
"Congratulations, Ma. Baby boy, perfect." The woman's doctor's voice is like a beautiful canticle. Frolline forced a smile in the middle of her bawling breath.
"Finally, darling." Ditya gave a kiss on the tired face of his wife. His gaze was fixed on their baby who was taken to the sink, not far from where Frolline was lying.
"Honey, thank you," whispered Ditya in Frolline's ear.

A few hours passed, Frolline who was fast asleep after struggling to give birth to her son opened her eyes. He fell asleep for a while after their baby breathed his first breath.
"What time is it, Ko?" asked Frolline in a weak voice.
"Eight, Honey. You need anything?" Ditya who sat on the sofa enjoying the morning newspaper seemed to approach.
"Would you like some breakfast?" tawar Ditya again.
"It has. After our baby is born, they go home to rest. But, it's also here again soon. Daddy won't stay home for long." Ditya.
"Dragon ... How is Dragon? Is Drag looking for me?" asked Frolline, remembering her eldest son.
"Drag's gonna be here with Daddy." Matt is also on his way to the hospital, Mama arrived in Jakarta an hour ago." Ditya.

Halim Hadinata was holding Dragon on the sofa in her daughter-in-law's room. Not far from where he sat, Meliana and Lily were struggling to hold Tiger Lim's baby. The second son of Ditya Halim Hadinata and Frolline Gunawan is the center of attention of everyone.
"Let's see, Fro. The older they get, the less self-conscious they are." Marisa who was feeding Frolline was enjoying the soup, shook her head when she saw her niece change hands repeatedly since then. A moment in Meliana's sling, not long in Lily's arms.
"Especially if the baby is a girl .. I can't imagine how busy the two Nai nai are."
"Just calm down, brother. Frolline hasn't been 25. Still can give birth to many nieces for you." When she came out of the bathroom, she suddenly spoke.
"You're not KB, Fro?" Had to wonder in the heart when knowing the age of the two ponakannya so close. Frolline was pregnant with Tiger Lim when Dragon Lim was just 5 months old.
"Coko won't allow it, sister," said Frolline. His tongue was getting used to calling Marisa just like Ditya.
"It is better to give a distance first .. just get pregnant again," said Marisa, feeding the soup into the mouth of Frolline.
"I want to add it as soon as possible. As soon as the doctor had allowed her, Fro would soon become pregnant again. I want a girl, maybe a third pregnancy will be programmed. After that stop. Close the factory, stop production. Time .. Fro and I are enjoying life. Want to take my kids and wife around the world, enjoying what we've been after all this time. Enjoy the hard work."
"Oh my God, Dit. This one just came out. And you've been planning on impregnating your wife again." Marisa shakes.
"I don't want to live like Daddy. Work, work and work. Life must be balanced between working and enjoying it." Ditya stood beside Frolline and grabbed his wife's hand.
"Well, honey?" He sought support from his wife.
"If you can .. your third child is pregnant, Ko" Frolline scowled. The pain had not disappeared from her body, Ditya had already asked her to get pregnant again.
"Can't, honey." Ditya. The man bowed and presented a kiss on Frolline's forehead. Warm and deep kiss, full of love.
"I love you, Fro. Don't reject me." Dita whispered softly.
"Love you, too." Frolline replied with a smile on her lips, looking lovingly at Ditya Halim Hadinata. Papa from his children.
