That afternoon Novia was sitting on a park bench behind the house. He was waiting for Athar who was playing. Suddenly his waist was in pain. His stomach also hurt.
" Oh, shhh..." Novia hissed while gripping the bench.
A moment later, the pain disappeared.
" Will I give birth? " humam Novia slowly. " It's not still next week. It's like when Athar was born.
As the pain was gone, he went back to reading the novel, while sometimes seeing Athar playing flying the plane.
Thirty minutes later, the pain returned.
" Auu.." screeched.
Athar, who was still playing, heard his mother's screech, immediately ran towards his mother.
" Mama why? " asked Athar when she saw her mother grimacing in pain while holding her stomach.
" Maybe this grandpa would be born, sister." replied Novia.
Then he set his breath. Take a deep breath, then exhale it.
Athar immediately grabbed his phone. He dialed his papa's phone number. Until the third call, still not lifted.
" Bi..bibi ..." call Athar to bi Susi.
" Yes to Athar. What was? " ask the aunt who came in a hurry.
" Dedek wants to get out bi. Come on, aunty help the grandpa out. Poor mama, in pain. " said Athar innocently.
" Mashallah..Ma'am, is it time? " tanya bi Susi to Novia.
" Maybe bi. Novia's stomach is sick. Like Athar's birth time, " replied Novia while occasionally wiping away the cold sweat that ran down her temple.
Athar was busy calling his papa. Because his papa still did not answer his call, Athar finally contacted Candra. Just the first call, the call was received.
" Openalty, Athar. "
" Greetings waalaikum, father. Dad, Athar's grandpa was about to be born. But Athar didn't know how to get out of my stomach. Mama's in pain dad. " said Athar at length.
" Athaghfirullah's. Athar told papa? "
" Not dad. Papa can't be on the phone. I already have Zaki's grandfather. I must know how to get Athar's grandfather out of my mother's stomach" said Athar in a panic.
" Wait a minute. I'll be home soon."
Call ended. Right after his father's call ended, Athar's phone rang.
" Hello, papa. Dad wanted to come out" Athar said as he received a call from his papa.
" What? Don't joke, son. "
" Really papa. Athar did not lie. Mama is in pain " said Athar.
Novia who heard it, immediately patted Athar on the shoulder, asking for Athar's phone.
" A minute, pa. Mama wants to talk " said Athar.
" Hello, mas. "greet Novia with a smile. She didn't want her husband to panic.
" Hello, honey. Do you really want to be born? Isn't it still next week, baby?"
" Yes, it looks like mas. Looks like our son wants to see the world soon. "
" I'll be home soon. "
" You don't have to hurry, honey. Our child still needs a few hours to be born. "
" I'm going home now. "
Tut ..Tut's...Tut. call ends unilaterally. Novia was just about to make a sound, but her husband had already ended his call.
" We're in bi. "take Novia.
Bi Susi immediately helped Novia stand up and walk into the house. Athar followed him from next door. He also held her mother's hand.
Boby reached the yard after half an hour. Just as he entered the courtyard of the house, a car also entered the courtyard.
Boby looked back. Chandras? ask in the heart.
After getting out of the car, Candra approached Boby.
" Athar called earlier, she said her mother wanted to give birth. And you can't be contacted. So Athar called me. " said Candra, explaining that Boby didn't misunderstand me. Because he saw another look from Boby's eyes.
" hm. I was in a meeting and my phone was left in my office. Thank you for coming here. "
" All together. Can I come in? "
" come inside. I also definitely need someone to look after Athar because I want to accompany my wife during childbirth. "
Then Boby walked quickly into the house followed by Candra from behind.
Upon arriving at the living room, he saw Novia walking back and forth.
" Dear.." call Boby.
Novia turned her head and revealed a beautiful smile from her lips.
Boby approached, then gave him a kiss on the head.
" Aunty, are Novia's clothes ready? " ask Boby.
" Already, mas. "
" We're going to the hospital now" Boby said in a panicked voice.
" She, you calm down. I'm fine" said Novia soothingly.
" We're going to the hospital, okay" take Boby back.
Novia nodded with a smile. Suddenly, the pain came again. Novia gripped her husband's shoulder while looking down. It made Boby panic. He lifted Novia's body and walked out of the house. Candra and Athar followed behind.
Arriving near the car, Candra opens the passenger door for Novia. Boby sat Novia in the back seat.
" You accompany your wife. I'm the one who drives. " said Candra.
"I'm alone" replied Boby.
" You're panicking again. Not good driving yourself. You better accompany your wife in the back. He needs you more. I'll drive you guys. You just calm down. We'll get to the hospital as soon as possible. "
Boby nodded. He got into the car next to Novia. Candra tells Athar to sit next to her to drive.
Boby seemed to panic every time Novia was in pain. Novia was not complaining at all. She always smiles when she sees her husband. It made Boby even more frustrated.
" Dear, is it really that sick? " ask Boby while wiping away the cold sweat that was pouring down Novia's forehead.
Novia shakes. Suddenly, the pain came back.
" Oh, shhh..." Novia hissed softly while gripping her husband's thigh.
Boby knew from the strength of Novia's hand gripping her thigh, at this time his wife was feeling tremendous pain.
Boby can't do much. He hugged while stroking Novia's waist hoping that it could feel the pain that Novia felt.
" Say it hurts if it hurts, baby. Don't feel it yourself. Let me also feel the pain " said Boby, hugging and pecking at Novia's head.
Novia nodded as she hissed back and gripped her husband's shirt. The pain he felt was getting more and more overwhelming.
" Candra, hurry up a little bit" said Boby.
" yes. It's already speeding. Soon we reach the hospital, " replied Candra who was no less panicked.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the door of the ER. Boby gets out of the car. Candra and Athar. Without waiting for the nurse to come bring the bed, Boby had carried Novia into the ER.
" Sister.." call Candra while holding Athar's hand.
A nurse came over.
" Please sus, my wife is going to give birth" cried Boby.
The sister immediately took a bed and asked Boby to put Novia on the bed.
" I want Doctor Fiskha. Quickly call her sus. " said Boby while slightly snapping at the nurse.
" Wait a minute sir. "the nurse passed a little, then came back again.
" Doctor Fiskha's here soon. I'll check your wife's blood pressure first" said the nurse.
Boby kept holding Novia's hand. Athar did not want to lose. He held the hand of his other mother.
Shortly after the nurse finished checking Novia's blood pressure, Fiskha's doctor arrived.
" Good afternoon mother Novia. "greet doctor Fiskha.
" Dock in the afternoon" replied Novia with a smile. Coincidentally, he was not feeling any pain at the time.
" It seems faster than expected. All right, I'll check how many openings. Please, you go out first. Same little brother, too. "
" Athar wants to be here and mama" replied Athar.
" We go out first yuk dear. "give Candra.
" No. Athar wants to be here. "
" Dear, Athar came out the same father...Athar is a smart boy. Athar wants his grandfather to be born, right? " say Novia smooth.
" Mama will be alone. "
" Mama is not alone, baby. Papa will nemenin mom. There's a doctor ma'am too " replied Boby.
Athar looked to Novia, then to Fiskha's doctor, then to his papa alternately.
" Athar wait outside ya ma. Papa don't stay in mama. "
" Well, baby, definitely " replied Boby.
" Athar wanted to kiss his mother first" said Athar asked his papa's sling to kiss his mother's cheek, because the bed was high.
Boby lifts Athar's body, then brings it closer to his mother. Athar kissed his mother's cheek, then kissed her mother's stomach.
" Sister wait outside the deck. "he said.
then Athar asks to get down from his papa sling, and he goes out into the waiting room with Candra.
After Candra and Athar came out, the doctor immediately checked the Novia opening.
" New opening four. It's been a while" the doctor said.
" How much longer, Doc? " ask Boby worried.
" Everyone is different sir. Probably in between 5-6 hours. We'll move your wife to the treatment room first. Later if the opening is almost complete, we will bring Bu Novia to the action room. "
Boby nodded as he looked at Novia and stroked her cheek.
" Mom, don't get out of bed later. Later Bu Novia fell asleep, while tilting to the left. Fear later if made way, the water broke but the baby did not want to come out. "
Novia and Boby listen to the doctor's explanation while occasionally nodding.
" Later once every half hour, we will check the condition of Ms. Novia" added Dr. Fiskha.
