It's up to God

The Most Valuable Treasure

A few months later, that morning, Yasmin escorted her husband to the exit.

"I'm off to work, honey. Take good care of yourself and the child in your womb" said Haikal while peeping at his wife's forehead. Then, he lowered his head, stroking Yasmin's stomach gently and saying, "Son. Please don't bother your mom, honey. Your brothers are in college, so please help, yes" she asked her soon-to-be-born son.

When Haikal stood upright, the baby in Yasmin's womb responded. As if ready to carry out his papa's orders, Haikal.

Yasmin's eyes rounded and said, "Honey. Our son kicked it, it looks like he's listening to you" she said happily. Smile their.

Haikal raised his eyebrows. "really?" tanyanya looked back. She held onto Yasmin's stomach gently and felt her son-in-law kick. "Masyaa Allah. Can't wait to see the world, son? Can't wait to meet us, huh? Papa, Mama, Aisha's sister, Aqeela's sister, Oma, Opa, and the others are also eager to see you." Haikal was so happy, he did not stop kissing his wife's stomach.

"Yes, you go to work. It'll be too late again. Today you have an important meeting" Yasmin smiled.

"Yes, honey. I left for work first, yes," Haikal said as he stood up. Yasmin kissed her husband's hand. Haikal clenched Yasmin's forehead and turned his back to his wife. Haikal's headed for his car.

Suddenly, Yasmin begins to have contractions that signal that she is about to give birth. Haikal was ready to go to work because there was an important meeting with his business partners. However, upon seeing Yasmin in pain, Haikal immediately changed his priorities.

Suddenly Haikal turned his body towards his wife and immediately looked at the woman who had given two beautiful angels named, Aisha and Aqeela.

"Honey. You why?" haikal asked, trying to calm down, but very worried.

"It looks like our son is coming out now, baby," Yasmin replied grimacing in pain.

"Wow, don't come out here, yeah, kid. Papa will take you to the hospital," Haikal asked the baby in the wife's stomach.

Haikal rushed to the car. Coincidentally their gardener was watering the plants, directly approaching them. Do not forget to wash your hands and put the work tools.

"Yasmin's mother why, sir? Can I help you?" said Pak Ujang.

"It looks like Yasmin is going to give birth now, sir," Haikal replied. His heart is beating fast. "Mr please help me open the car door, yes" he asked.

"Good, Sir!" said Pak Ujang. Open the car door.

Yasmin was put to sleep in the back seat.

"Ujang Pak. Hera again what?" haikal asked after putting Yasmin's position right.

"So the hell I saw, Sister Hera again in the kitchen, sir. Again wash clothes," replied Mr. Ujang who followed the panic because he saw the condition of his employer.

"Yes already, please tell Ms. Hera, ask to bring the clothes of Ms. Yasmin and the baby clothes that Ms. Yasmin had prepared yesterday, yes. Continue directly followed to the hospital," Pinta Haikal who is currently sitting in the driver's seat. Ready to take Yasmin to the hospital.

"Ready, Sir! I'll tell Hera. Anything else, Mister?" said Pak Ujang.

"Nothing. That's all, sir. Thank you, sir," said Haikal, turning on the engine of his car. When he arrived at the fence, Haikal again sent a message to Mr. Ujang, "Oh yes, sir. Don't forget to lock all the doors and windows. Tell Hera too. Mr. Ujang will help Ma'am Hera bring her clothes to the hospital. I'm going first. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Yes, Sir. Good. We will follow later. Be careful on the road, sir. Hopefully Yasmin's mother and the baby will be fine" Mr. Ujang said.

Haikal immediately drove his car at standard speed. He drove carefully. While occasionally seeing the condition of the wife who grimaced in pain from a small glass located close to her head.

After careful thought, Haikal realized that nothing was more valuable than the presence and support given to him at key moments. On the way to the hospital, Haikal made a wise decision. She decides to accompany and look after Yasmin until she feels strong enough to face the labor process. For him, Yasmin's health and happiness as well as the birth of their child were priceless.

Although Haikal had to give up a valuable opportunity at the business meeting, he knew that his presence with Yasmin meant much more to both of them. Haikal recalled how difficult the first birth of Yasmin was, especially the wife had miscarried in the second pregnancy, and she did not want to miss this precious moment again.

Without hesitation, Haikal decided to contact his confidant and ask him to represent himself in the meeting. He explained the situation that was going on and hoped that his business associates could understand this situation.

Haikal's holding the phone. He uses a bluetooth headset to drive. "Hello, Ahmad. I have an urgent situation and need your help" he said, focusing on driving.

"Yes, Haikal. What was? Is there a problem at the hotel?" tanya Ahmad who is a friend of Haikal and one of his trusted people to help manage the business in his hotel.

"Not at the hotel, Ahmad. It's a personal matter. My wife, suddenly had a contraction and we had to go to the hospital immediately."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Haikal. I hope everything's okay."

"Thank you, Ahmad. Yes, everything is fine, but the situation is quite urgent. I had to take Yasmin to the hospital and accompany her in labor. It looks like my wife is going to give birth today as well. At the same time, I had an important meeting to meet with my business partner. Please help, yes."

"Of course, Haikal. What can I help you with? Maybe I can rearrange your meeting with that business associate."

"That's what I expected, Ahmad. Please contact my business partner and explain the situation. Tell me that I can't leave my wife in this situation and beg them to understand this."

"I'll call them soon, Haikal. I will make it clear that you cannot attend the meeting due to these unexpected circumstances. May they understand and respect your decision."

"Thank you very much, Ahmad. I really appreciate it. This is an important moment for us as a family, and I don't want to miss the opportunity to accompany Yasmin. I remember, did I ever tell you that Yasmin ever miscarried? I don't want to make any more mistakes."

"I fully understand, Haikal. Family health and happiness are paramount. I'll call your business partners immediately and tell them about the situation."

"Good, Ahmad. Thank you for the help. I know I can count on you. Please give me news if there's any progress."

"Of course, Haikal. I'll give you news as soon as possible. Hope everything goes well in the hospital. Give my regards to Yasmin."

"Aamiinu. Yes, his greeting was given. Thank you, Ahmad."

"May all go well."

Haikal was in a dilemma. On the one hand, if he is not involved in the meeting, then it will risk losing the investment of one of the biggest investors for his hotel. However, on the other hand, he did not want to ignore his obligations and responsibilities as a husband who had to accompany and look after Yasmin at such a crucial time.

...***...

Haikal was relieved when his car finally arrived in front of the hospital gate. He was attentive and ready to give his full support to Yasmin. Yasmin's gestational age has entered 9 months, which is why Haikal is convinced that he made the right decision by choosing to attend and accompany his wife in this very meaningful moment.

Without hesitation, Haikal immediately parked his car and half ran towards the hospital entrance while carrying his wife. In his heart, he prayed that everything would go well.

Haikal entered the hospital waiting room and sought help. He approached one of the hospital staff who was nearby.

"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt. I need immediate help. My wife had a contraction and we needed immediate treatment" Haikal said in a panic.

"certain, Sir. I'll help you soon. Please follow me" replied one of the nurses at the hospital.

Hospital nurses swiftly led Haikal to the IGD (Emergency Installations) section. Haikal tried to calm himself and keep praying that Yasmin and the baby she contained were in good condition.

Arriving at IGD, the hospital nurse introduces Haikal to the medical team who will take care of Yasmin.

"Sir, this is the medical team that will take care of your wife. They are very experienced in handling the delivery process. You can be calm and wait in the waiting room" said a hospital nurse.

"Thank you very much. I entrust my wife to this medical team" Haikal said, a little relieved that she would soon get medical help.

After giving final instructions to the medical team, Haikal returned to the waiting room. He sat down uneasily, thinking about Yasmin and hoping that everything would go smoothly.

While waiting, Haikal pulled out his mobile phone and sent a message to Ahmad, his trusted confidant.

"Thank God, I've arrived at the hospital. Yes, I took care of my wife first. Don't forget to tell me, yeah, about that. Hopefully my business partner can really understand the situation."

After sending a message, Haikal put his phone in his pocket and tried to calm down. She knows that right now her focus should be entirely on Yasmin and the ongoing labor process.

Haikal prayed with hope, pleading with God to protect Yasmin and the baby in her womb. He believes that his business associates will understand the situation, as family is his top priority at the moment.

In peace and hope, Haikal waits patiently in the hospital waiting room, ready to provide Yasmin with irreplaceable support and presence as she gives birth to their child.

Finally, Haikal and Yasmin together face the labor process with passion and strength. Haikal provides support and an irreplaceable presence for Yasmin, reminding both of how important it is to be on each other's side of important moments in their lives.

A few hours later, the atmosphere in the hospital waiting room began to feel tense. Haikal sat down uneasily, impatiently waiting for news of their baby's birth. Every second was precious and every second Haikal prayed that everything would go well.

Finally, the waiting room door opened and a nurse came out with a happy smile on her face. Haikal immediately stood up with a thumping heart.

"Congratulations, Mr. Haikal. Your wife has given birth to a healthy and handsome baby boy. Everything is going well" said the nurse.

Haikal felt an indescribable happiness. His eyes were teary when he heard the news. He felt grateful and overwhelmed by their hearts.

"Alhamdulillah! Thank you very much, Ma'am. How's Yasmin doing? Is she okay?"

"Yasmin's mother is fine, Mr. Haikal. She was resting after a tiring delivery. The doctor will immediately examine her and provide more information," replied the nurse named Jihan with a friendly smile.

Haikal thanked the nurse and then walked towards the room where Yasmin was. His heart was full of happiness and an infinite love.

As Haikal entered the room, he saw a weakly lying Yasmin, but smiling happily. Beside him, the newborn baby boy lay quietly.

Haikal approached Yasmin's bed with gentleness. He held onto Yasmin's hand and kissed her gently.

"Thank you, baby. You have given birth to our child with courage. He's so handsome, like me, yeah!" haikal.

Yasmin smiled widely, the fatigue on her face replaced by sincere happiness.

"Thank God, we finally have a son. He is the most beautiful gift of our lives. We've been through so much together and now we can enjoy this moment" Yasmin said. "And you're right, his face is very similar to yours" he added.

Haikal nodded, his hands clasping Yasmin tightly.

"Yes, honey. All these struggles and sacrifices are worth it when we see this little face. He will grow up to be a great figure, like his father," Haikal said.

Yasmin smiled lovingly, looking at their baby affectionately.

"I'm sure he'll be an amazing kid with a father like Haikal. Thank you for choosing to accompany and support me in this important moment" Yasmin said.

Haikal gently rubbed Yasmin's cheeks and gently touched their baby's cheeks. She feels the overflowing happiness in her, knowing that her decision to attend and accompany Yasmin was the best.

"We'll always support each other, baby. Now, let's enjoy this wonderful moment with our newborn child. He is proof of our infinite love" said Haikal, who remembered something immediately.

Haikal patted his forehead.

Yasmin knitted her brows and asked, "What's the matter dear? Is there a problem with your failed meeting?"

"I forgot to tell the twins, Aisha and Aqeela. You know, how fussy are they if they find out his dad didn't tell his sister he was born?" haikal said while opening his phone and looking for a large family group Sultan Aji Permata so that the information is sent at once.

"The chat is exactly like their aunt Nadira. Especially if it has taken, God's time is very, right," said Yasmin, accompanied by laughter.

Haikal laughed and asked Yasmin to smile.

"Come, let's take a photo! I'll send the three of us to the family group. Let them see the good looks of Joseph who was born," Haikal said, taking a picture.

"Joseph?" yasmin asked in surprise after she finished taking the photo.

Haikal was silent for a moment. "I called Joseph, right? What is the name of our son, Joseph? As the name of the prophet Joseph who knew his good looks. Hopefully it's also declining."

"Can too. I concur. Let's just find the name."

The two of them smiled at each other, filled with deep happiness and gratitude. In their hands, the handsome baby boy signified the beginning of a new chapter in their lives as a happy family.

In the group chat room, they were filled with congratulations and they all immediately headed to the hospital, except for Hafiz who was still in Cairo.

"Masyaa Allah. My niece is very handsome," said Nadira, replying to her brother's message.

"Yes, dong. The handsome is like the opanya" replied the Sultan, papa Nadira and Haikal.

"But his eyes and lips are like his omens, dong," said Fenny.

"Oh, Opa, Oma, and Auntie what the hell, anyway? He looks just like me. Look at it, the smile," said Aisha.

"That's a big deal, you, Aisha. It looks like me, you know. Her hair was thick and straight like mine," said Aqeela who did not want to lose.

Hamzah who just finished college, replied with emot love on a photo sent by Uakya, Haikal.

"Masyaa Allah. I finally have a brother too. So have a playmate, if Brother Hafiz has not come home. You see Haikal Kak exceeds Bang Toyib," said Hamzah who was laced with a smile emot.

Hafiz responded to Hamzah's message. "Yee .. yummy said Bang Toyob. I'm here to study and also work, Dek, not for fun. You're also close to home, sometimes you can't go home, right?"

"Oh, this Hafiz Sister! I'm also studying here, brother," replied Hamzah with a flat lip emot and striped eyes. Indicates annoyance with his brother's words. He first started.

Nadira mediates the debate between his two children wisely. "Hamzahs. You can't be like your brother. If you miss, just say it frankly. Don't wear say events like Bang Toyib all. Apologize, yes, son!" pinta Nadira with her smile. "Hafiz also apologized to Hamzah, after all, you are a role model for your sisters. Gotta set a good example, yeah. You're the first child and the first grandchild, so be wise in thinking and acting."

Hamzah and Hafiz apologized to each other. Haneen and Hania, who are about two years old and do not have a mobile phone, smiled and were very excited when told by Nadira, their mother that their sister was born. Haneen and Hania applauded.

Ammar has not seen a message in the group because he still teaches santri at the Al Fathonah boarding school.

Inside the hospital room, a warm and joyful atmosphere was felt as Haikal and Yasmin read messages from their family group. Although they have faced various problems and challenges in their lives, but love, compassion, and understanding are always the glue that strengthens the harmony of their families.

Haikal and Yasmin sat side by side on the bed, their baby boy lying quietly between them. They opened messages filled with congratulations, prayers, and expressions of happiness from their family members.

Yasmin read the first message with an unstoppable smile on her face while reading a message from the Gilang Ramadhan family group. Haikal saw it and smiled, enjoying this happy moment with his wife and children. Gilang is Yasmin's brother.

"Listen to this, Haikal. Umma wrote, 'Congratulations, son! The favorite twin granddaughter umma already has a new playmate. We are so happy to see your family grow. May this handsome baby boy bring happiness and blessings to all of us.'"

Haikal smiled and replied: "Thank you, dear. Listen to this, a message from my sister. He said, 'Congratulations, Brother! Now there is a boy who will be your playmate later. Let's all get together again and share the happiness. May our families always be blessed.'"

The two laughed and shared other messages filled with warmth and support from their family members. In each message, we see the importance of family ties that support and love each other.

Haikal and Yasmin looked at each other with love and understanding. They feel a deep sense of happiness from having a family who is always by their side, ready to provide support and warmth in every journey of their lives.

"We're really blessed, baby. Our family is a priceless gift" Haikal said with a fluffy smile. His worry fatigue was replaced at the presence of his son. He did not care if he had to lose one investor, because he believed that Allah is the Provider of Providence, so he would never worry.

Umar bin Khattab once said, "My heart is at ease knowing that what passes me, will never be my destiny and what is destined for me, will never miss me."

The sentence has always been the belief of Haikal to provide calm in his life.

"Yes, Haikal. Although we face various problems, togetherness and family love always make us strong. Hopefully we can be a role model for our children about the importance of a harmonious family" Yasmin said expectantly.

They clasped each other's hands, feeling the warmth and strength in that touch. Around them, smiles and laughter adorn the room, reflecting the happiness and harmony of a family that is interwoven with compassion and understanding.

Haikal and Yasmin know that their journey as a family, is constantly tested with various obstacles. They are ready to face all the challenges and try to continue to maintain the harmony of the family they have nurtured with love.
