I've seen you

Towards Delivery

"Darling why? Since you're pregnant, you've had a hard time sleeping." asked Rizal, who woke up in the middle of the night because Lisa had moved slowly several times. An already large stomach and already approaching HPL does make it difficult to sleep every night. Sleeping on your side or on your back, even having a pregnant pillow still feels uncomfortable.

Rizal gently rubbed Lisa's stomach even though her eyes were closed. "Sleep, baby." Moments later Lisa's breathing began to settle down and she began to fall asleep.

A few hours later at dawn, Lisa woke up again. He pulled Rizal's hand to rub his stomach.

Rizal wakes. He saw Lisa now sleeping on his back. Although without a sound, Rizal understood what Lisa wanted to wipe her stomach. "Darling why are you?" Rizal brought himself closer and rubbed Lisa's temples that looked sweaty.

"Sir Rizal today do not need to work. I think I'm giving birth today."

Instantly the drowsiness disappeared from Rizal's head. She's panicking. Even now he got out of bed like he wanted to do something but I don't know what. His brain instantly became blank. "We're going to the hospital now?"

"Sister Rizal here first." call Lisa to get Rizal back closer.

Rizal finally approached and helped her to sit leaning on the headboard.

"Let's go to the hospital." Lisa took a deep breath and threw it away as the pain began to appear again.

"Dear, sick?" Rizal rubbed gently on Lisa's stomach. Then he kissed her forehead. She couldn't bear to see Lisa in such pain. If only the pain could pass to him, he would.

Lisa looked to be breathing again. He closed his eyes while enduring the pain.

Rizal now turns to kissing Lisa's stomach. "Honey, can't wait to meet Mami with Papi huh? The pinter, baby. If you want to go out, don't stay inside for long. Poor Mami's in pain."

Lisa smiled at Rizal's words. The pain disappeared.

"Sister, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Yes, here I help." Rizal helps Lisa get out of bed and leads her to the bathroom. "Can you?"

Lisa nodded. "Sister Rizal please call Doctor Santi. Same look at the equipment and the files in the bag. If it's complete, take it to the car."

"Yes." Yeah." Rizal did as Lisa told him. He carried two bags of supplies out of the room.

"Rizal, Lisa's giving birth?" asked Ms. Ela who saw Rizal's panicked face while carrying a bag.

"Yes, Ma." replied Rizal as he passed.

Miss Ela went into the room and she led Lisa who walked out of the bathroom. "How often have you been hurt?"

"It's still once an hour, Ma."

"Yes, later if the pain has increased often we go directly to the hospital." Miss Ela helps Lisa sit on the edge of the bed. "Mama ready breakfast for you. Let it be strong."

Lisa nodded her head.

A little while later Rizal entered the room with a glass of warm milk. "You drink first, huh?"

Lisa takes a glass from Rizal's hand and drinks it down.

"Said Dr. Santi if the pain is getting more frequent, we go straight to the hospital."

Lisa just nodded her head.

"You fall first. I'll take a shower and then we'll have breakfast." Rizal helps Lisa lie down on the bed and she immediately goes into the bathroom to flutter her body. Just for a while, after that he changed clothes.

Rizal came out of the room and a little while later he brought Lisa breakfast.

"Darling, eat first." Rizal helps Lisa get up and sit back. He started to feed Lisa.

Lisa opened her mouth heavily. It was as if he was reluctant to chew food back then. Three times he managed to swallow. But then he closed his mouth tightly while shaking his head.

"Let's eat, let's be strong baby."

Again, Lisa just shook her head. He took a deep breath. The contractions began to feel again.

"It hurts again?" asked Rizal while putting the dishes on the nightstand.

Lisa nodded her head while grasping Rizal's hand tightly. Rizal rubbed Lisa's stomach again to provide comfort and hope the pain was reduced.

"I'm sorry yes. I can't make your pain less." Rizal held Lisa in his arms. She couldn't bear to see Lisa like this. All this time he only felt good during the manufacturing process, why the pain could not be divided into him.

"Kak Rizal why mellow gini." As the pain gradually disappeared, Lisa took off her embrace and looked at Rizal's reddened eyes.

"I can't be with you."

"This is just the beginning. Rizal's brother love enough passion and strength to me."

"Yes, I'm sure you can. You're powerful. But now, the food is." Rizal again grabs the plate and feeds Lisa painstakingly.

Moments later Ms. Reni came and sat down by Lisa's side. "Dear, how? Does it hurt often?"

Lisa nodded her head.

Rizal nodded then he came out of the room and walked towards the kitchen. But he just sat down. He has no appetite at all.

"Zal, eat first. You'll pass out in the hospital."

"No taste, Ma. Look Lisa's in pain it's not hearty." Rizal just took the bread and ate it.

"His name also wants to be born, Zal. The process is still long. What Lisa needs is your spirit."

"Yes, Ma." After drinking Rizal stood up and returned to the room.

"Well, I really don't want to eat."

After entering the room, she saw Lisa back in pain again. "Darling, we're going to the hospital right now.." Rizal grabs Lisa's body into his embrace while rubbing her stomach again.

"Yes, wait for the pain to subside first. We'll just go to the hospital." Bu Reni said while rubbing Lisa's hair. "Prophey, baby. Mama's sure you can."

After a while, they all went to the hospital. Lisa sat leaning against Rizal's chest. Behind Mr. Alan who was driving and next to him was Ms. Ela.

While Mr. Edi and Ms. Reni followed their car on a motorcycle.

They finally arrived at the hospital. And immediately to the observation room kala 1.

Doctor Santi is ready to check on Lisa. "The others wait outside first. Unless her husband doesn't accompany me here."

Rizal sits on the side of Lisa's cage. Doctor Santi started doing the examination. "The pain has started a lot, ma'am?"

"Yes, Doc."

"I checked the opening first yeah, sorry."

Lisa clutches Rizal's hand as Doctor Santi checks for an opening in the birth canal.

"Good, it's opening 5."

"How much less, Doc?" asked Rizal who did not really understand about it.

"To go to the perfect opening is still 5 less." Santi's doctor ordered the nurse to install an infusion and then some devices to monitor the baby's heart rate and the mother's blood pressure.

"New 5 is sick. Still 5 more." Rizal's getting anxious. His heart is beating no more. It felt like something was continuing to creep into his chest.

Doctor Santi smiled looking at Rizal's tense face. "Yes. As labor approaches, the pain will become more intense. Don't panic too much. Enough to strengthen his wife. Excuse me first. I'll check in an hour."

After Doctor Santi came out. Ms. Reni came in and accompanied her daughter.

"Sister, it hurts again." Said Lisa who was now tilting her body to the left. He clasped Rizal's hand firmly.

"Yes, I'm patient. I rubbed his back, yeah."

"Lisa want to eat first, baby?."

Lisa just shook her head.

"You drink yes.."

"Yes.."

Rizal tries to strengthen Lisa. In fact, she couldn't even watch Lisa get any more pain. The longer the pain is getting more frequent and increasing. Rizal called Doctor Santi to check on him immediately.

"Prophey, sir." Dr. Santi again checked the opening. "The opening is complete. We're moving into the delivery room."

Sister encourages Lisa's brangkar to be moved to the delivery room into kala 2.

Rizal didn't go into the room. He's very tense. He was just pacing in front of the door. His feelings have been mixed into one. Between the pleasure of soon meeting the baby and the feeling of pity for Lisa who continues to fight pain.

"Zal, in. Lisa needs you inside."

"Yes, Pa."

"If you're afraid, let your mama be the nemenin." Said Ms. Reni.

"Sir Ma. Let Lisa be with me." Rizal strengthened his heart. He must stay beside Lisa to strengthen her and keep her fighting.
