Look at Me, My Husband
S2 Mother of my son 66
"If you have a second chance with Naina, take good care of her." Dennis smiled wryly. His heart cannot lie. Although the sentence smoothly came out of his lips, his heart was torn apart. During the three years of keeping Naina, going through many stories, it was not easy for her to let go of Naina, even though it was on the actual owner.
From the beginning, Naina belonged to the Hero, of course she would return to the Hero. However, the matters of the heart are not that simple. It wasn't easy for Dennis to let go.
"Three years ago, Naina cried so much that she forgot how to smile. Please happy Naina. He deserves to be happy, not lament his fate." Dennis said again.
Dennis' blue eyes were watery, the clear liquid was gathering and coming out. "He lives under the pressure and humiliation of people, don't let anyone insult him again, including Mama. He himself already felt himself inferior, don't make him demean himself even more just because of the talk of people out there." Dennis returned the message.
There was a discrepancy in one corner of Dennis' heart, but he had to let go when the time came. Although Naina has not yet determined her attitude, she is sure that Naina will kick her out soon.
I heard heavy breathing. The next sentence made the man's obstinacy collapse.
"Naina went through the Vienna pregnancy with great struggle. Scorn, insults, scorn and much more. Fight through the bleeding repeatedly and last fight of life while presenting your daughter to the world. Naina had to be on the line between life and death for a week, after giving birth to Vienna. If you see the gurat in Naina's lower abdomen, it's proof of her struggle to give you the offspring of a Wirayudha." Dennis closed his eyes.
"Vienna Pelangie Wirayudha. He gave that name to your daughter. In the midst of her heartache and disappointment in you, she still pinned your name inside her daughter's name. Vienna means daughter of Wira and Naina." Dennis finished his sentence with a deep breath.
The hero flinched, turning to look at Dennis. "Thank you for taking care of my wife and daughter."
"I don't know .. how you take care of him first. She had to miscarry repeatedly, but it's still a threat to Naina's pregnancy now. Given another chance to get pregnant, take good care of your wife and future child." Dennis.
"Yes." Yeah." The hero can only say that one word.

After being held in the hospital for a few days, Dennis and Wira give up. They also had to live again after the medical team informed him that the condition of the mother had not developed.
Wira stood pacing in front of the ICU room with her phone stuck to her ear. It had been three days to contact his father, but until this moment the old man had not once visited his wife.
"Lift, Breng'sek!" aspirate, annoyed.
Still hoping for his call to be connected soon, the young man smiled as he heard the heavy voice of his papa greeting from across.
"Yes, Wir. How's it?"
"Your wife is alive, Pa. Take the time to visit her for a minute!" nagel Wira at first opportunity.
"Mama coma. You can enjoy a new life with your young wife without anything getting in the way. But I beg ... My mother is still your wife, at least look at Mama for a while," continued Wira held back his annoyance. It's not that he didn't know the pace of his papa all this time. The old man secretly remarried, unbeknownst to his mother.
Dennis smiled from his seat when he heard this story. Behind her sympathy for her mother, she was satisfied to hear the woman being cheated on by her husband. As if paying all the sins to his father all this time.
"I wait!" disconnect the hero, turn off the phone. His gaze was on the brother. The man who was older a few years from him, still faithfully accompanied him waiting for good news from the hospital.

A few days passed.
Until now, there was no serious talk about the events that led the two to sit on the bench waiting for the Mother and Child Hospital. Both Naina and Wira chose to keep their mouths shut. Naina did not ask further, asking for clarity and recognition of the Hero, and the Hero did not explain in detail what actually happened. The hero accepts and is responsible for Naina's pregnancy, and instead Naina does not demand much and lowers her selfishness.
"There's no news yet. Still in a coma." The hero replied with a heavy sigh.
"Mas Dennis is still on guard at the hospital?" ask Naina again.
"No. It's not anymore. If there's any progress, the hospital will contact us immediately."
"You've submitted your resignation from the company, Nai?" The hero asked back.
"Yet, Mas ...." Naina down.
"Consider again. I don't want anything to happen to you guys." The hero ventured to hold Naina's hand that was squeezing over her lap.
"Yes, Mum." Naina answered briefly. He could feel the warmth of the hand of the Hero squeezing his fingers.
"And regarding my offer .. please consider it as soon as possible. Anyway, our baby needs that status ...." The sentence of Wira hangs, cut off by the voice of a nurse who calls Naina's name.
"Mother Naina Pelangie ...."
"Mother Naina Pelangie ..." repeated the nurse a second time.
"I, Sus." Naina stood up, hanging her handbag on her shoulder. Followed by the hero who walked behind him.
"Please come in" said the nurse, smiling kindly.
Getting into the doctor's practice room with Naina, is nothing new for Wira. Previously, he had repeatedly seen the obstetrician for different problems. However, just this time the two went inside to consult their baby candidates.
Speaking for a moment, the doctor invited Naina to lie down on the examination bed. The hero, who had since entered the room did not take off his hand, stood with Naina at the side of the gurney.
The man's eyes were heating up, and he slipped into the recesses of his heart as both eyes watched from the doctor's monitor. A small speck of breath of new life is as big as a cherry. Clumps of meat that began to form an arm like a small webbed paddle. At the age of seven weeks his brain cells began to develop rapidly.
"Nlt ...." The hero can only say that one word. Her self-defense is about to collapse, hearing the doctor's explanation of her fetal development, her baby and Naina's.
Naina could see, the change in the face of the Hero from her lying position. Her ex-husband tried to hide a drop of shed tears when he saw a small speck of life now residing in her womb.
"Thank you, Nai." The woman rubbed gently Naina's forehead and hair, after stealing a kiss on the pregnant mother's forehead. They don't care about the doctors and nurses around them. He just wanted to give his joy to be a father. This is not the first. There's Vienna, their first daughter. However, all of this is a new experience for the Hero.
"I promise to be with you during pregnancy. Clasping your hands, we will always be together waiting for him to come into the world," the Hero promised, smiling.
