Husband From Hell (Home From Hell)

The Ending Part 10

One month already Nicholas was lying weak. And all that time he never opened his eyes again.

the doctor has done his best, but still the power of God is far more powerful over everything.

At the hospital only Reynald stayed faithful to accompany Natalie, because Mr. Jhonson had to return to take care of his company, because now Reynald the main director must accompany Natalie there. Inevitably, because only Reynald is reliable.

As a result, for a while the company's affairs are led by Selly in the supervision of Mr. Jhonson of course.

While Merry who several days of declining health was also forced to take home to get treatment. Fortunately, Selly was very attentive, so he wanted to keep the mother of Nicholas wholeheartedly like his own parents.

In the morning, the routine that the doctor will do is to give medicine to Nicholas.

"Nat, are you okay?" reynald asked as he saw tears running down Natalie's cheeks.

How not, for the umpteenth time Natalie will witness how her husband, Nicholas will undergo a series of painful treatments according to him.

"I'm .. I'm fine," replied Natalie lying.

"If you can't see it, better not!"

Reynald was right, should Natalie not have to see him because it would only hurt him. But it seems Natalie doesn't care. She would still stand there, seeing from a distance how her husband was trying to fight for her.

"No, Rey. I'll stay here."

"All right." Reynald bowed. There's no choice. Natalie is stubborn when it comes to her husband's business.

the doctor and several nurses were already prepared with the equipment. They will provide stimulation that is routinely given to Nicholas' body so that the man can survive.

But the way it is done is apparently not easy. the doctor will provide stimulation through a device such as a pacemaker or defibrillator given electromagnetic waves that will then be transferred to the heart of Nicholas, Nicholas, and obviously it makes Natalie's heart hurt when she sees it, because Nicholas' body will immediately twitch when it comes into contact with the device.

It was so heartbreaking, especially Natalie had to see it every day with her own eyes.

"One, two, three" said the doctor.

Bugh

Nicholas' body was immediately lifted as the device touched his bare chest.

And at that time Natalie's heart felt slashed.

"One, two, three."

Bugh

Again and again, the process is done until it is felt enough by the doctor. And during that time also Natalie felt pain all over her body instantly because she saw her husband tormented like this.

To be honest Natalie wants to end this, but if she ends it means she's just like letting Nicholas go for good. While Natalie still hopes her husband will come back for her despite having to go through this painful way.

"Nat, already! come on!" bring Reynald. "You should also think about the child in your womb. If you keep going like this, I'm afraid something bad happened to your son."

Natalie sat on the chair while bowed. Apparently she was trying to hold back her tightness and tears. "Until when will Nicholas suffer like this, Rey?...until when?" suddenly his voice sounded hoarse, and Reynald was sure Natalie was crying. Since then Natalie did not want to lift her face.

"Nat, I understand how you feel." Suddenly Reynald embraces Natalie's body. "Cry if it makes you a little calmer."

Natalie was crying in Reynald's arms, the grief she had been experiencing was finally spilled in Reynald's arms.

"I don't want Nicholas to leave, but I don't want to see him tormented like this either, Rey. So what should I do?" his sobs. "What, Rey, what?"

Reynald silence. He also doesn't know what to do. Because the only way yes is just like this.

If this treatment is stopped, it's the same as giving Nicholas that second forever.

Long crying in Reynald's arms, Natalie finally makes a decision.

"Rey, I ..."

"Why, Nat?"

Natalie's face looked confused. He himself was not sure of his decision.

But it looks like he has to do this. This is the best for Nicholas.

"WHAT???"

Reynald screeched in disbelief.

Why did Natalie suddenly decide this.

"Nat, but your gestational age is not yet time to give birth."

"It's okay, Rey. My son is eight months old. I think it's strong enough for him to be born into the world."

"No, Nat. The problem is not just that, we have discussed this before" Reynald said. "You remember? the doctor said they wouldn't do a caesarean on you before the baby in your own womb asked for it."

Apparently the content of Natalie is classified as a weak content and a little long in growing and developing. Therefore, doctors do not recommend Caesarean section before the right time, or at least until nine months, the normal age in general.

After all how the content of Natalie is not weak, if every day Natalie is always sad and frustrated thinking about her husband who is struggling with his death, obviously this will affect the health of her fetus.

"But, Rey. I can't afford to see Nicholas like this every day. She must have fought this far because of her child in my womb."

Natalie is back sobbing. While rubbing his distended stomach, he imagined how unfortunate his son's fate would be if he later found out that his father was no longer in the world.

"Help me, Rey. Help me! .. Who else would help me if not you."

Natalie looked back at her stomach. "Please tell the doctor that I can. Tell them I and my son can."

Seeing that Natalie did not stop crying, Reynald felt guilty for not being able to do anything for the woman that Nicholas entrusted to her.

"I beg you, Rey. I beg!"

This isn't the first time Natalie has pleaded for a Caesarean section on a doctor, and she believes Reynald is just like a doctor. Reynald could not have put the life of the child and the mother.

"Nat" said Reynald, "if this is for Nicholas, I will support whatever your decision is."

Natalie raised her face, as if she had the support of Reynald.

"I will try to convince the doctor to perform a C-section as soon as possible. But not today, Nat. Because I want the doctor to prepare for everything that happens. I don't want anything bad to happen to you and to the child in your womb."

"Rey, do you really mean it?"

"Mppp, I'll help you to persuade the doctor."

"Thank you, Rey. Thanks!" Natalie hugged Reynald back. "Thank you, because you understand me."

No Answer, Reynald just smiled back at Natalie's embrace, while in his heart he cried because he did not expect that the fate of the person he loved should be this tragic.

***

Reynald decided to take a shower and change his clothes, while Natalie went into the room where Nicholas was.

He walked with weak steps, not necessarily directions. She then sat down beside Nicholas holding the hand of her husband who now did not look so sturdy anymore. After a month of helpless lying on that bed, it seemed like countless more how much weight Nicholas had shrunk.

"Honey, I'm coming" said Natalie, clasping her hand. "Well me and Reynald to persuade the doctor to do the surgery soon, baby."

"Please pray for me and my son to get through this. So that our children are born safe and healthy without any lack of anything."

"And after that, you can go quietly, my husband."

Natalie's tears are coming again. "Although honestly I can't afford to lose you, but I can't afford to see you tormented every day like this."

Natalie sobbed again and again. If only now anyone could see how the shape of his heart, it might have crumbled intangible again. Because so hurt he accepted this harsh reality.

Drtc .. drtt ...

Cellphone's ringing.

Message from Reynald.

Reynald: Get ready! two more days of operation will be carried out.
