FOR HER SAKE
Raka and Reina
Panic strikes Alvin when Lyra's mother calls and informs him that Shevi is in the hospital. From the morning after Alvin departed his wife had already begun to feel contractions - small contractions. Heartburn that began from once an hour gradually increased in intensity to half an hour and the last before being rushed to the hospital, Shevi has felt heartburn every fifteen minutes.
Since Shevi's pregnancy at the age of eight months, Alvin brought his children and his wife to his parents' house. Because only Lyra's mom doesn't work and can take good care of Shevi.
Alvin was angry about not being told in the first place. But his anger was replaced with great anxiety when he heard his wife answer with a stifled groan. Alvin knew his wife was trying to calm him down, but Alvin knew better that she was in pain and held him back. So what Alvin is doing now is taking his car at full speed to get to the hospital immediately.
Ringing a horn while swearing when the car in front of him did not go to the road even though the traffic light has changed color to green. Loosening his tie roughly with an increasingly erratic feeling.
There are all kinds of thoughts in his brain. Will his wife be able to give birth to their two children? Will he be able to see his wife in pain? Should he persuade Shevi to just perform the operation? But he knew it wouldn't happen. Everyone had persuaded, but his wife remained steadfast in her desire to give birth normally.
Arriving Alvin at the hospital, he immediately ran to the delivery room that was previously Lyra's mother infokan. In front of the room was Mami and her papa and Rasya.
" You quickly enter. Looks like your children are just waiting for you to be born. " Said Mami Lyra rubbed her son's arm as soon as Alvin approached. Alvin nodded and immediately entered the maternity room.
His wife greeted Alvin with a weary smile, drew closer to his wife's hand and kissed on the forehead of the woman who was struggling to bear her children.
" You're strong, baby. You definitely can. I'll be here with you. You have to be excited, baby. " The word of encouragement from Alvin makes Shevi's spirit to give birth to children is increasing.
Mother who previously accompanied Shevi is now out after Alvin came. The team of doctors and nurses is busy preparing all the equipment for the delivery process.
Shevi lay on her side in a slanted position. Every now and then he would squeeze Alvin's hand strong and whimper in pain as the contractions came. Alvin patiently wiped the sweat on the face, rubbed the stomach and back of the wife alternately while continuing to give words of affection and encouragement. Occasionally also invite their children to talk so they want to fight with their Mommy so they can quickly meet. And of course so that his wife immediately be free from the pain.
" Sick maaass.. " Rintih Shevi again. Alvin himself was so nervous and worried that he was trying to cover up.
" Patience is dear. You have to be strong for our children. Tiara at home must have been impatient to wait for her sisters to come home. " If he could, he wanted to replace the pain his wife felt. Alvin really could not bear to see the pale face of his wife filled with sweat and pain.
Alvin helps his wife to drink, to slightly add to his wife's energy. He tried to calm down so that his wife would not panic. This is the first normal birth for his wife. Alvin knew there was a worry that Shevi had never told him.
" Mad.. I'm rich pee but a lot. " Shevi said with a single tear that escaped from her eye patch.
" huh? " Alvin's confused. But a few seconds later he called the doctor and told him what his wife had said.
" I check first Mom.. " Said the gynecologist who handled Shevi from the beginning of pregnancy gently. The doctor checked Shevi's core.
" Good Mom. The opening is complete and the membranes have broken. Now follow my instructions and get ready to push as taught in the pregnancy class. Mom remember, right? " Shevi nodded with enduring the pain.
" For his daddy, support from daddy means a lot to mommy and the child he will give birth to. So help with support and prayer.. " Alvin nodded as well. Caressed and gave a kiss on his wife's forehead.
" You can yank.. " Shevi's grip grew stronger as the contraction came.
" Let's get started. Breathe deeply and push!! " Shevi followed what was instructed.
Shevi never imagined it would hurt like this. Heat and pain that spread along his spine and stomach. And the pain that was felt when the contractions came. Is there such pain. Pain that he had never felt.
People say, the pain of people giving birth is like twenty bones being broken simultaneously. But Shevi was sincerely feeling it. By imagining a baby - a tiny baby that he will soon be approaching.
" Let's take another breath and push. The baby's head is already in sight!! " Shevi got even more excited when the doctor said that after the experiment pushed several times that almost made her give up if she did not remember the baby - the baby was in danger if she did not give birth immediately. And fortunately her husband faithfully accompanied and provided support even though he could see her husband's face wet with tears.
" Huft. huft.. Uuugggh.. " Once again Shevi pushed and the first sound of crying was heard.
" Oeeekkk.. Oooeekk.. " A strong cry came out from the little lips of his son.
Alvin's heart trembled so much that his tears grew louder without him noticing. This is the first baby cry she ever heard. And it doesn't feel like it can be explained by words. No happiness can exceed when he heard the cry of his son for the first time just after being born into the world.
" Congratulations Mommy and Daddy, the first child born a boy. " Alvin fell apart when his prediction was right. There's a hotshot in his wife's stomach.
" Raka Jovan Mahesa. " Alvin chirps when the baby is placed on the chest of the wife to breastfeed early.
" What a good name. I liked. " Shevi answered softly stroking the first son in her small family. Shevi's face was also no less flooded with tears.
Shevi felt a contraction again. The sisters take Raka for cleaning, while Shevi again takes a breath and tries to push her son out. The birth of the third child does not take long. Alvin stroked and kissed his wife many times. Not only to calm his wife, but also to calm his own heart that felt like a somersault.
" Uuugggh.. " Shevi's second push and again came a slower voice than Raka's voice was so strong.
" If this one's pretty like her mommy. " The doctor again put the baby Shevi had just delivered to Shevi's chest after previously cutting her umbilical cord.
" What's this one called mas? " Tanya Shevi when her husband did not immediately give a name like that. When she saw her husband was sitting limp on the floor. It was a great relief when his two children were born safely and his wife was healthy. Alvin's knee feels like he wants to be dislodged so limp. But with all his might holding on to the edge of the bed he stood up and kissed his wife all over the face.
" Thank you dear.. Thank you for being pregnant and fighting to give birth to my children. I promise I will treat you well. I saw for myself how you fought. And I'll be more like mommy. Because like this is also my mother's effort for me to be born into the world. " Shevi smiled and nodded.
" Princess daddy this one daddy love name Reina Almahyra Mahesa. " The answer to Shevi's previous question was holding the tiny hand of her third child. A beautiful little girl who looks like her wife.
Alvin pitted his two babies in turn after accompanying his wife to complete the delivery process. The family's happiness is more complete with the presence of their twin babies. Covering up all the pain they've been through. Replacing all of Shevi's grief in living this household with the greater happiness of her two babies and also her eldest daughter. At the age of twenty-six years, Shevi is now a mother of three children. Shevi smiled happily with her new status now. Happiness that is not only he who feels, but also the people around him who love him.
