Kuyang Dribble

194. Positive ...

Ayu's labor went well. When Ayu pushed for the third time, the baby was born. The sound of the baby's shrill cry made everyone in the room laugh.

"It was so crying, son," said Intan sambil laughing.

Intan's words made Fikri and Ayu laugh. Fikri also landed a kiss on the forehead of the wife while saying hamdalah many times.

But when the hands of the Midwife Diamond stretched out to lift the baby, suddenly the lights in the room went out. The room became pitch-black and of course it made everyone panic.

Fikri who was still unable to calm down was more panicked when she heard the sound from under the bed where Hilya gave birth.

"Duk ... dukkk ..," the sound of something hitting the foot of the bed made of iron was heard several times.

And a moment later the baby Hilya was born stopped crying. Fearing something happened to the baby, Fikri moved forward.

"Abi ... Where are you going Bi ...?" ayu asked softly with a hand trying to reach in the dark.

"Please take care of My Wife Sister !" fikri said loudly to make the nurse surprised.

"Good sir" said the nurse nervously.

After that Fikri immediately approached Intan who was sculpting because he saw something. Both the midwife's hands also hang in the air in an outstretched position towards the bottom of Ayu's body. Fikri knew that the midwife would pick up the baby but stopped because there was something there.

Not wanting to be 'disappointed' by something he thought was there, Fikri also flicked the string of prayer beads that he held onto the bottom of Ayu's body. Fikri gasped in shock at the feeling of touching something when his hand was stretched out earlier. Something resembled thick, stiff hair, and Fikri was sure it did not belong to her baby.

"Laa haula wala quwwata ilaa billahill aliyyil adzim .., Allahu Akbar !" said Fikri loudly with a hand that broke into the lower part of Ayu's body.

With a little force Fikri pulled the baby and held it tightly. He did not care about the blood that covered the baby, which was partially attached to his clothes. And when the baby was in his father's arms, suddenly the baby came back crying to make everyone sigh in relief.

Along with that the lights that were originally extinguished again lit up brightly. Everyone in the room was reflexively squinting with glare.

As everyone tried to cover their eyes with their arms, it was then that Fikri saw a disembodied head figure sneaking out of the maternity room. The figure of the head that Fikri believed to be a kuyang was hovering below near the floor then darted out. Because at that time everyone focused on helping the delivery, then no one was aware of the presence of the figure of the head without the body.

Fikri gasped in shock as Intan patted his arm.

"Get the baby sir. We haven't cut the umbilical cord yet" Intan said with a smile.

"Oh yes, sorry Madam Midwife. Because it's dark I'm worried, so I reflexively carried my baby earlier" said Fikri.

"Gapapa Sir. That's a good reflex. Because after that this baby will cry again," said Midwife Intan.

Fikri nodded and let the midwife finish her task. Then Fikri came back closer to Ayu who was looking at him with an anxious look.

"Is Our Child OK ?" whispered Ayu.

"Alhamdulillah ssmua aman Mi. You don't have to worry, yes" said Fijri while rubbing Ayu's head gently.

"But I heard something earlier Bi. What the creature ...," Ayu's speech was interrupted because Fikri placed her index finger over Ayu's lips.

"Ga there's nothing dear. It's just the sound of the device being jammed because the power went out earlier. Please don't talk about it anymore, yes, I'm not comfortable with it" Fikri said, shaking his head.

Ayu nodded to make Fikri smile. Fikri hugs Ayu for a moment and retreats as the nurse approaches Ayu to help her clean up.

Fikri sat down while looking at Ayu who was sleeping with her baby. Many times he sighed strongly because he did not expect to have just gone through a tense moment.

Fikri turned his head as a knock rang out at the door of the room. He smiled when he saw Bayan and Anna there.

"Congratulations Son, finally your desire to have a boy is realized" Bayan said as he stretched out his arms to embrace Fikri.

"Alhamdulillah, yes Yah," said Fikri while returning his father's embrace.

"What matters is that the mother and baby are healthy, right, Fik ?" anna asked as Fikri kissed the back of her hand.

"Thank God they are healthy Bund" said Fikri quickly.

"Eh, by the way where is Brother Hilya ?" ask Dhanti.

"Hilya again rested in her room. He is sick" said Fikri.

"Hilya is sick?, what pain is Fik. Nathan don't know yet ?" anna asked worriedly because Hilya remembered that she was fine.

"Udah Bund's. Now Nathan again persuades Hilya to seek treatment" said Fikri.

"Not the treatment that Brother Hilya needs Bang. Maybe he's exhausted and needs to rest" said Nicko, who was taken by everyone in the room.

"Rubber. Since returning from Bogor until today, Hilya has not been able to rest. The reason is that, the list of patients who will give birth is long. She had to stay in order to help them give birth later. Because of her spirit, just as her sister's turn to give birth she even collapsed," Anna said to everyone's laughter.

"Udah ready a name for the little Bang ?" nicko asked as he looked at the baby boy lying next to Hilya with a gentle look.

"Udah. His name is Muhammad Fahri Azhari. There's my initials and Ayu's in there. It means a noble man to be proud of who was born after Ashar" said Fikri with a proud smile.

"What a good name. Called Fahri can Bang ?" ask Nicko enthusiastically.

"Yes," said Fikri quickly.

As if I understood what was being talked about. Suddenly the tiny baby who was then called Fahri was crying loudly. Fikri immediately carried her while the others laughed while trying to comfort her in turn.

Meanwhile, in Hilya's room.

Nathan is still trying to be patient in the face of Hilya's unfriendly attitude. Although she seems to dislike the presence of her husband, Hilya allows Nathan to be there.

Suddenly the door opened and showed Anna in the doorway. Hilya smiled seeing her in-laws trying to get up from her lying position.

"Mother Denger you're sick again, son. What pain ?" anna asked as she approached Hilya and gently touched her forehead.

"Ga sick Bund. Just a sauce," said Hilya with a smile.

"But you have a fever. Have you taken the medicine yet ?" asked Anna worriedly.

"Difficult Bund. Daritadi was persuaded very hard. It's just that being angry is the same with me. Though I don't have anything wrong" Nathan interrupted.

"Anything ?" repeat Anna while smiling mockingly.

Nathan seemed to roll his eyes because he knew his mother was insinuating him. But unlike Nathan, Hilya laughed and it made Anna laugh.

"Since when have you been with your husband, son ?" asked Anna while tidying up Hilya's hair.

"Maybe this week Bund," said Hilya misbehaved.

Of course Hilya's confession took Nathan by surprise. He did not expect since the last few days turned out the wife was hostile to him.

Just as Nathan was about to open his mouth to protest, Anna suddenly asked a question that stunned Nathan.

"Have you tried a urine test yet ?" ask Anna carefully.

"Udah Bund" said Hilya, bowing her head.

"How did it go ?" ask Anna.

For a moment the room was silent because Hilya never answered the question of the in-laws. Anna smiled then stretched out her hand to gently rub Hilya's head.

"Mmm .., positive Bund," said Hilya, but made Anna and Nathan cheer happily.

"Thank God ...!" anna and Nathan said.

Nathan rushed to Hilya and hugged her tightly. Nathan seemed to kiss the wife's head in tears. All the questions that filled his mind today were answered already with Hilya's confession earlier.
