Blind morning after the dawn adhan, Mila saw the liquid of his obstetrics had seeped. out mucus mixed with blood. Groaning felt an unbearable pain. My back feels so hot. With all her strength holding all that, Mila immediately knocked on Reva's room.
“Rev, open the door."
No need to wait for long, Reva immediately got up and opened the door.
“Rev, I think I want to be born deh,” groaned Mila, his breath gasping while grimacing in pain holding the stomach.
Instantly Reva's eyes that had been sleepy immediately turned upside down to hear his best friend want to be born. When looking at the feet, the amniotic fluid has indeed wet the feet.
Without a second thought, Reva immediately led her best friend to the car. Walk step by step. Although it is impossible to walk quickly, finally arrived in his vehicle. Once Mila got in the car, Reva quickly drove her car to the nearest hospital. Once at the hospital, Mila immediately got the treatment of a doctor.
Anxiety also worries Reva's mind. In the waiting chair, he sat down restlessly. Hoping that the delivery process of his best friend smooth and all safe.
An hour later, the doctor who treated Mila came out of the room. Seeing the doctor approaching, Reva immediately welcomed the middle-aged woman's doctor. Hopefully there is good news that occurs from the delivery process of his best friend.
"Sorry, if I may know where the patient's husband is?”
Hearing the doctor looking for Mila's husband, Reva is unable to answer. Confused what he should answer. I could only look at the doctor in front of him.
“Mba, hear my word? Where's the patient's husband?”
The doctor's second speech, then broke Reva's blank gaze. There was no other choice, to answer the doctor's question, he had to lie. Because the girl didn't want anyone to know what was really going on.
“Ja-so this way, Doc. My husband is out of town. He said there was a job he could not leave. I was told by her husband to accompany my daughter's delivery.”
What can be done, Reva had to reveal the reason. Fortunately, the doctor believed.
“Ka-kalo can know why yes, Doc?”
Then, Reva's question made the doctor ponder the face. Looks like something bad will be said. The doctor then approached Reva, about to tell her something.
“So like this, Ma'am. From the results of the birth, there is actually good news but there is also bad news. The good news is that the delivery process is going well, the mother and her two babies survived.”
“Sgratitude.” Reva's face sparkled at the news. Previously he had already known from the results of the USG that the baby Mila will be born twins.
But for a second, why did the doctor say there was bad news as well? What exactly is that bad thing? It's not that the doctor said that both of Mila's babies were healthy.
“Honestly I'm happy that my best friend and the baby are okay. But, Doc. Something made me less happy. The doctor said there was bad news too. What's the bad news, Doc?”
The doctor also breathed heavily. It was hard for him to say this. Down for a moment. Staring at Reva lekat. His eyes were expressing concern. Slowly he delivered the bad news.
“The bad news is that one of your best friend's children will have difficulty in speaking.”
The doctor's statement left Reva aghast. Suddenly his body went limp. It feels like I have no energy. Until his body fell into a chair. For a moment he was silent. How not, as a friend, of course, you are concerned about the unfortunate fate experienced by Mila.
The doctor approached again. Patting Reva's shoulder while encouraging.
“Propa. This is God's destiny. I have tried my best,” said the doctor and returned to the delivery room.
From behind the door, Reva commented a smile to her best friend who was still lying weak post-belly. Mila's face started to look bright. He looks rather calm. It is undeniable, for every woman giving birth is the hardest thing in her life. For having to bet his life to get a child out of his womb. Especially if a woman has to give birth to twins, the pain must be doubled.
“How are you doing now?” ask Reva. Next to Mila lying down, her hands caressed her best friend's hair.
Mila's head nodded then slowly pulled the two corners of her mouth. Trying to smile even though he still feels pain in his stomach.
“Thank you for helping me. I owe you a lot of service, Rev.” Jemari Mila patted Reva's hand that was draping on her arm. A clear thread slowly came out from the corner of his eye. Moved over all the goodness of Reva all this time. In fact, the cost of all these labor costs, Reva's the responsibility.
“Yeah, Mil. Don't you think. As long as you and your child go along, I join the seneng,” replied Reva. Netra. This is the real proof of solidarity.
The atmosphere is so moving, also felt by one of the babies Mila who now joined in crying. Hearing the cry of her baby, Mila immediately shifted her gaze to the incubator beside her. And when he realized that only one baby was in the room, a question arose in Mila's mind.
“Rev, why is my baby here only one? My baby's twins.”
That question left Mila speechless for a moment. His mind was worried. Plus the sound of the baby's cry that made him more upset. Must be how he explains what really happened to Mila's other baby. If he were to speak the truth now, his friend would not accept the truth.
“Rev, why are you silent?” cecar Mila, forced Reva to answer which would make him more confused. While briefly lifting the baby to be given to Mila to breastfeed first, this can be used as a time stall. When the baby comes back, Reva will say it.
“Rev, answer, Rev! Please tell me how my other son is doing?”
“Quiet, Mil. I'll tell you the truth after your baby's been sucked. I can't bear to talk when your baby again needs milk like this.”
After being suckled for a while, the baby came back. She handed the baby back to Reva. As soon as the baby was returned to the incubator, Mila immediately charged the answer to her question.
“Come, Rev. I beg you to be honest. What exactly happened to my other baby?”
Suddenly, Reva's tongue felt faint as she had to tell the truth. His lips felt stiff to speak. He was afraid that his best friend's mental condition was shaken. However, inevitably he had to tell her that the condition of the baby, currently receiving intensive care in the NICU room.
But, before Reva said, he made some kind of promise, to have Mila ready to hear the news of not wearing this. Cannot express excessive emotions. Eventually, the promise was approved by Mila.
“Alright, Mil. Indeed I have to be honest with the condition of your baby one more.” A slow breath appeared on Reva's chest which deflated after she tried to take a deep breath. “So gini, Mil. Yesterday the doctor told me that your son is being treated in the NICU because your son is suffering...”
Reva's words stopped. I still don't think I said it. However, the stalled words made Mila even more urgent.
“Experience what, Rev. What's wrong with my son? Let's talk, Rev.” Mila's voice grew higher and her hands shook Reva's body, urging her to continue speaking.
Finally, the insistence made Reva again continue her words. With a trembling tone and lowered, he was actually powerless to continue his words.
“Experiencing .. mmm .. experiencing speech impairment, Mil.”
And true Reva's estimate, when the next speech was said, Mila was immediately shocked.
“What is a talking disorder? You mean my son will be gagu?”
Reva nodded lethargicly and continued to bow. Then, his best friend so did not accept so knowing this reality. Shouting hysterically. Raged. Throw anything near him. Roll over, blanket all he threw towards his son who was sleeping soundly until he woke up and cried again. Seeing the condition of Mila who was so dark eyes, Reva moved away and rushed to call the nurse. Out to save Mila's son.
