Love Anton And Mela

Bonus 3: Baby Boy

"Mi, I'm leaving first. Later Mi just took a taxi online. The problem is I have to go to Puskesmas so early to make sure everything," Anton said as he tidied up his polo shirt and he also wore a batik shirt for the event.

Anton put a shirt and a bag in his car.

Actually Mela wanted to say something, because since dawn, her stomach felt like linu and there was a little water seeping into her underwear.

"Pi..awhile..me..," Mela's sentence stopped.

"What Mi? Later in Puskemas, I have to hurry there, ", Anton said as he got into his car and drove to his workplace.

Mela wanted to ask Ms. Sinah, but her little heart said she was afraid that asking her mother would not allow her to go to events at her husband's office.

Indeed, sometimes the nature of childishness still likes to be attached to Mela.

So he secretly put on a sanitary pad, because he thought it was ordinary vaginal discharge. He didn't know it was actually amniotic fluid seepage.

The gestational age has reached 37 weeks closer to entering the 38th week, yesterday, Dhani said Mela should give birth in week 39 but could have been born before because the baby's head is already in the birth canal.

During her early pregnancy her husband was busy with all kinds of exams to become the Head of Puskemas.

Now to give birth to her husband is also busy with the business for the celebration that will be held today in Puskemas.

Not to mention the plan after the completion of the event, Anton will be meeting with the entire team for new operations which will be held soon on Monday.

Now it is eight in the morning, the plan is another half hour Mela and Ibu Sinah will only follow to Puskesmas.

Suddenly Mela gets a call from Aprilia, and invites her along with them.

At that time Haikal and Aprilia had not been to Papua, they were still taking care of some of the Haikal documents that were still pending.

"Don't wait, we're a group. It just so happens that Mommy also wants to see her old house" Aprilia told Mela.

"Yes, wait here" said Mela.

Before long the group came, There's Haikal and Aprilia, then Nova's mother and Daddy James.

They boarded a minibus owned by Aunt Linda, because Haikal's car had been sent to Papua via cargo ship.

And the one sitting at the back of the car was Aunt Linda with Sheera and Jacob.

Then all get out of the car and into the house now occupied by Anton and Mela.

"It's still the same as fifteen years ago I left," Nova's mother said as she looked at the garden and chills.

Mela welcomes them all inside, and Nova's mother sees there are still a lot of furniture and other furniture that she used to have.

"Nothing changed, Mommy, it's the same. Except for the building in front that was already sold to Anton's doctor" Haikal said, embracing his mother.

"Mommy also does not want to see the house again, it hurts too much" replied Nova's mother with a wry smile.

"Grandfather's house is now so bad Mommy, it's like a haunted house. No one lives there anymore" Aprilia told her mother-in-law.

"Later the plan will be given to be given to be a pesantren or orphanage or nursing home. At the moment it is still thought which is better" Haikal told his wife.

"Try later one day to talk with Koko Fajar, he was indeed the manager of a Pesantren," Aprilia told Haikal.

Daddy James understands his wife to be uncomfortable in the house that Mela now lives in.

He then embraces Mother Nova, encouraging her not to feel sad and dissolved in the memories of the past.

Nova's mother understood and she leaned her head against her husband's chest.

"We will go to Papua on Monday, so today all events are good because tomorrow we have to go to Jakarta," haikal said to Mela while sitting in the dining room which is also at the same time the gathering room.

"Oh so, so fast. Though not long ago you were here" said Mela.

"Yes mbak, because Haikal mas must immediately see Papih. And the plan is Papih will be brought by Mommy and Daddy to Australia" Aprilia explained to Mela.

"Mommy used to stay here with Bang Haikal. Why is this home given to someone else?"ask Jacob to Nova's mother.

"They are not other people dear, they are brother Apri's brother. So it's still brother to us" Nova's mother said, stroking Jacob's head.

"Oh, they're still family. How I should call them Daddy?"jacob asked his father.

"Hmm.call them Brother only...Brother Mela and her husband Brother Anton" Daddy James explained.

"Sister Anton? Where is he now Daddy?"jacob asked again.

"Jacob, how chatty !!!Now we're going to an event at Brother Anton's office" exclaimed Sheera, who looked upset at her sister's question.

"No, today we go to Bang Haikal's party. Daddy said to me that Bang Haikal is going to Farewell Party" Jacob told his brother.

"Listen well, Bang Haikal and Brother Anton work in the same place. And Anton's brother became the Chairman of his office" Sheera said, glaring at Jacob.

"Mommy, what is a Leader? Is it the same with Headmaster in my school?"jacob asked innocently to his mother.

"Yes the same, but Anton's brother was in Puskemas, hmmm.a small hospital," said Ms. Nova answered Jacob's question.

"Oh, little hospital. I want to see a little hospital dong" Jacob said excitedly.

All just a smile to see the behavior of Jacob who always asked a lot and wanted to know everything.

While Sheera's brother pouted because for her Jacob was too fussy to ask.

Then they all got into the car about to go to Puskesmas, all entered the meeting but all were happy.

Ser...Ser.there are droplets flowing into the pads in Mela's underwear.

"Uncle James, why does my stomach always feel like it's been bitten by ants since this morning?"ask Mela to Daddy James.

"Well, you have to be careful because it may be a sign of soon giving birth" James said, looking into Mela's face.

"Yes right Mela, are there any other complaints?"mother Nova asked as she held onto Mela's enormous belly.

Mela glanced at her mother, again she felt afraid if she said there was now water wetting her bottom.

So he just smiled while shaking his head.

"Oh, maybe just a regular cramp. It is often so when pregnant," said Mother Nova trying to make Mela calm.

Then they continue the journey with all the light and pleasant conversation. Especially the hot topic is about Aunt Linda's matchmaking with her friend Daddy James.

Aunt Linda just cut her lips when everything in the car started teasing her.

"Honestly dong Aunty, not the same crush Achmad Yusuf. Still handsome dong at the age of fifty years," Haikal told Tanteenya.

"Yes, Linda, she seems to have a heavy crush on you and is now learning Indonesian," said Ms. Nova following teasing her sister.

"Hmmm.me just not yet, why fuss. How do I know what she looks like" Aunt Linda said, trying to deny her feelings.

"Look at the photo dong, does Aunt Nova have any?"ask Mela to Nova's mother.

"Oh there's dong, this is from Uncle James's phone. This is a profile photo of doctor Achmad Yusuf who is of Turkish descent but has become an Australian citizen" Nova's mother said while showing the doctor's profile photo from her husband's mobile phone.

"Well, handsome dong. Like a Turkish actor who likes to be on television well,"sahut Mela who recognizes the good looks of the doctor.

"Yes, good-looking, if you are young, you must have a crush on the doctor.hahahaha," Sinah's mother also teased Aunt Linda who looked red with embarrassment.

The group arrived in front of the puskesmas, there were already many people there but there were no guests from outside.

Most are still employees and family members.

Pure looks busy arranging buffet tables along with people from catering.

Miranti had also come with around a hundred more boxes of cookies.

And of course now he has a subscription rickshawman who can be asked to deliver orders anywhere.

Cakes are stacked behind the reception desk so that each guest coming later will be given one box after filling the guest book.

When Haikal's entourage arrived, Anton was examining Trisno and Jaya who were testing the sound system.

The microphone can make a good sound.

Then Anton checks Murni who is arranging the food, and Pure makes sure to his leader that everything is ready. Plates, spoons, forks and mineral water glasses.

Then the amount of food is also ensured so that guests do not lack food.

While inspecting the reception team, Haikal's entourage arrived with his wife and in-laws.

Anton immediately greeted his father-in-law and everyone who came, while Mela kissed him on the forehead. So sweet Anton yah.

"I know you, brother with one leg.it turns out this brother is my family well. May I call you brother doctor one leg?"ask Jacob to Anton.

"You know boy, I feel cute with one leg" Anton told Jacob.

"Ow, I feel cute too, but I don't want to just have one leg" said Jacob who is always smart to answer.

"You are very smart boy, I like you," Anton said and then stuck a greeting to each other.

"Jacob is polite, don't call me that. Call me brother doctor" said Nova's mother as they sat together.

Jacob apologizes and he promises his mother that he will call Anton as his brother doctor.

Anton ordered the reception team that the family group of employees should not first be given a cake, later after the guests attended all if there is any left please take.

But apparently Miranti already had a backup, and she approached the Haikal family entourage and also Mela and Ibu Sinah.

"Mela, try this cake, sorry well if suppose it is less delicious. Because I lately feel numb tongue and eat whatever nausea alone. Maybe I catch a cold because of the tiredness," said Miranti as she thrust out a large box of cookies she made for the event.

Everyone tasted the cake, and began to comment on the taste.

"The brownies, I love them, really" commented Sheera, who took the cut brownies.

"The croquettes are delicious Ma'am, just because I like salty so for me it's still a little less salty" Aprilia commented as she chewed on the cake.

"Ah delicious, this aunt eating risolnya delicious, yes Ibu Sinah," said Nova Mother while finding out also about what comments her mother Mela.

"His son, this Miranti boy is good at making cakes. I want to learn loh, who knows later in the village can sell this way," said Ibu Sinah.

"Thank you for everything, his input from Apri also I noted. Come Mother Sinah, stay at my house later I teach everything," replied Miranti looking happy.

"If I say the Mbak, the cayenne is less. You see, I like spicy" said Haikal because in each risol and croquettes only one cayenne pepper is available.

"Ah just basic Bang Haikal it's like peacock, spicy doyan. Eat anything must be spicy,"His wife told her husband.

"If I said why Brother made cake only three like that. If many kinds of course better," Jacob followed the comments.

"Jacob, you talk too much. Very chatty, "the ordinary Sheera protested against her sister.

"Ah no, come later if you go to Indonesia again will make a lot of cake. Just want to stay at my sister's house" said Miranti with a big smile.

"Mommy, look Sheera's brother is always angry with me" Jacob complained to his mother.

"Sheera..,"call Daddy James with a sharp glare at him, and Sheera immediately lowered her head.

"I'm sorry Miranti, my kids always do. Wherever the storm, but if there are no one looking for each other" Nova's mother told Miranti.

"It's okay, I'm happy to see it. Because I have never felt anything like it" said Miranti.

"Sama Ma'am, I have never felt it either!!" cried Haikal with a big laugh.

And everyone laughed too.

Mela did not say much, she was silent while feeling her stomach occasionally feel wrapped around.

Before long the group of guests began to attend, apparently many important people were present.

In addition to village devices, there are also representatives from the District.

Then there was also the Head of the Department of Health Directorate and entourage.

Mr. Tarmidi was also present with the group from the Center.

Anton, Jaya and Rossie also welcomed the invited guests.

Also present were the local Sector Police Chiefs, Then some Heads of Puskemas from the District.

There is also a guest from Tamadi Corporate, and the one present is Riyu Tamadi her brother Rossie.

And there was also a group of Specialist doctors who would soon practice in Puskemas.

Anton was busy greeting and conversing with the invited guests, especially with special guests from the Central Office.

Jaya turned around to greet other important guests while swiftly welcoming other guests who continued to attend.

"Excuse me, can I sit here?"said a Mother of about thirty years old while pointing at the seat next to Mela.

"Please, empty really," said Mela with a smile.

"I'm sorry is this mother the Chief Doctor's wife?"ask Mela.

"Yes, I'm doctor Anton's wife. Sorry about who ?"ask Mela back to Mom.

"Include me Midwife Ayu, later I will also serve here with doctor Dhani Ramlan," said Midwife Ayu while greeting Mela.

"Wah very happy to meet Mother Midwife, my name is Mela. Just call my name do not hesitate because I am younger" Mela told him.

After that Midwife Ayu asked to want to hold Mela's stomach, and of course was welcome by her.

"Mbak Mela, it seems like he already wants to be born. The baby's head is under once, don't you feel anything?"ask Midwife looking surprised.

Then half-whispered Mela said what she felt from the morning.

"Wow, let's just find a room, let me check," Midwife Ayu said as she helped him up.

And real Mela was already very difficult to stand because she felt her stomach pain.

Ibu Sinah and Aprilia immediately helped him, then Miranti looked for Jaya and whispered to find a room for Mela.

Then Jaya immediately asked Mantri Deni to provide a practice room for Mela.

Anton did not understand what happened with Mela, he was busy accompanying guests and soon came also kyai troupe with orphans.

The event immediately began by reciting the prayers and holy verses of the Quran, then there was a short lecture from the kyai which essentially became a holder of office not to fall into the temptation of property, throne and women.

After the lecture then the welcome from the Head of the Central Health Service, the welcome from the representative of Camat, the welcome from the Chief Polsek and the last from Anton while introducing a new team of doctors who will start the practice next Monday.

After that, a separate ceremony in the form of handover from Mr. Tarmidi to Anton, also from Haikal's doctor to Rossie's doctor.

Each one gave a word as a sign of separation and also from Rossie as a sign of the beginning.

"Thank you for the opportunity, my name is Rossie Tamadi. My position as general practitioner replaced that of Haikal. I was only twenty-one years old, I happen to be the youngest doctor at the moment" Rossie said when asked to introduce herself.

"Cock her name is Rossie, like a girl," suddenly a guest asked.

"When I was born with the emergence of Valentino Rossie became the world champion of motor racing, so he was inspired by that name" he replied while bowing in a Japanese style.

Her brother who was present only smiled to hear his sister explain the origin of her name.

Then after that the meal prayer was brought by a orphanage child, and while guests took food accompanied by Marawis tambana brought by the children of the home.

"Anton, I'm saying yes. Sorry I can't stay long because someone has to go to the clinic to give birth. I'm also most here a week two or three times well, later the practice every day is Midwife Ayu," said doctor Dhani Ramlan when saying goodbye to Anton.

Then Anton agreed but while surprised because he really forgot to introduce Midwife Ayu, because since then it was not seen.

But Anton did not have time to ask and look for him because he still had to accompany lunch guests.

"Mbak Mela, this is already a six-loh opening, it's almost born this. And amniotic water has been seeping since?"midwife asked Ayu very surprised.

"Yes since morning there is a little liquid out, but I do not understand so I use pads only," Mela replied confused.

"Now heartburn or not ma'am?"ask Midwife Ayu while examining Mela's stomach.

"No, only occasionally there is heartburn and then lost again. I think the wind alone," indeed Mela did not understand that she was time to give birth.

Sinah's mother who heard her face tense automatically, she was afraid that there was nothing with Mela and the baby in her womb.

Miranti tries to calm him down, while Aprilia calls her husband and tells him what happened.

"Should it be induced now Mother Midwife?"ask Haikal to Midwife Ayu.

"It should be, because Ma'am Mela does not heartburn, the amniotic fluid begins to run out of fear of the baby drought inside" said Mother Midwife Ayu.

"I asked doctor Dhani Ramlan, if it's not wrong he's still here" Haikal said while trying to find Dhani's doctor.

And unfortunately he got the answer that Dhani's doctor was saying goodbye because there was a phone call that someone would give birth in his clinic.

"Mother Midwife, who has the authority to issue instructions for induction infusion, was Dhani's doctor but she has returned home. Mostly waiting for Anton's doctor but he is still very busy" Haikal explained to Midwife Ayu.

"Yes I do not dare to also play the induction of the doctor, if there is no order from one of them," said Midwife Ayu looks anxious.

Haikal seemed to think, then he met Rossie and told her about the events that were going on.

"I'm a new doctor, I don't know what my authority is yet" replied the same Rossie hesitated.

At the same time, Anton was greeting guests who began to say goodbye after eating.

"Doctor Anton, start Monday and just operate it all well. Even hospitalization as well, later I send a general practitioner again for a guard turn," said the Head of the Department of Health while greeting Anton.

The two young doctors soon meet Anton when he is seen alone after taking guests home.

"Bang, that's Mama Mela already want to give birth. It's been a six opening but it hasn't been heartburn and it has to be induced" Haikal told Anton.

For a moment Anton was confused, then without talking he immediately rushed into the room Puskemas looking for where his wife.

It turns out to be lying on one of the beds in the IGD room.

"Oh Midwife Ayu is here apparently, what about my wife?"ask Anton in a panic.

Ayu's midwife explained what happened, while Mela lay weakly expressionless as she felt confused and worried.

"Haikal and Rossie, sorry to accompany the guest. If anyone asks for forgiveness because my wife wants to give birth," Anton pinta and of course approved by both.

"Apri, please get me my phone in the front room. And Mother Midwife please attach an induction infusion," Anton said began to master the situation.

"Mi, just calm down. I'll handle the birth of our child" Anton said, kissing his wife's forehead and Mela tearfully without saying anything.

Aprilia gives Anton her phone taken from the front room.

Anton calls Dhani Ramlan and tells him what happened.

"Oh Anton you're a habit, again you're pregnant you don't know. Uh now want to give birth also just don't know. I can't get there, it's going to handle a big caesarean!," said doctor Dhani half-screaming.

"Just now you've given an induction right, that means wait until he starts to heartburn. If you are already heartburn, you will be ready to give birth. There's Midwife Ayu must have understood it".

"If you need to do an episiostomy well, about 4 cm is enough," replied doctor Dhani Ramlan trying to explain to Anton.

*Epysiostomy is making an incision in the birth canal to make it easier for the baby to get out.

Anton understands then he along with Midwife Ayu will help each other when Mela starts to heartburn.

In the front room where the event was heard people began to decrease, a sign that invited guests had started to go home.

Nurse Susi asked for help to make warm water to later bathe the baby at birth.

All help each other and seem happy because at least the wife of doctor Anton will be the first patient to give birth in this Puskemas.

About thirty minutes Mela began to feel an infinitely painful heartburn.

She started screaming, and Mother Sinah held her hand.

Doctor Anton waits from the birth canal, while Midwife Ayu asks Mela to start straining while rubbing her stomach.

"Don't close your eyes, keep pushing but shouldn't be closed" said Midwife Ayu reminded Mela.

Miranti also stood not far from the IGD room, she wanted to see the birthing process but it turned out that Mela's place lay covered with curtains.

"Mi, let's push again, I'm waiting here" Anton said encouragingly to his wife.

Mela continued to take a breath and then strained, took another breath and then pushed again.

Anton feels sorry for Mela, but inevitably this must be passed. And for Anton it was an advantage that a general practitioner like him could see and do the process of his wife giving birth to their child.

"Mom, look at his head is about to appear but it's like something's stuck" Anton told Ayu's midwife.

"Sorry doc, looks like it's got to be an Episiostomy".

Anton understood then asked the nurse to give a special shears that have been sterilized to make an incision to his wife's birth canal.

After reading Bismillah, he cut the piece about four centimeters according to Dhani's advice.

And sure enough after that Mela pushed again twice and born their baby a tiny man.

Anton was so happy when he caught his newborn son from the mouth of his wife's womb.

Then he grabbed the baby full of blood and put it in Mela's stomach.

And the little baby sniffed on Mela's belly looking for her mother.

Mela cries as the baby reaches her chest, while Anton stitches the incision she made earlier.

Ayu's midwife immediately caught the baby in Mela's chest and immediately cleaned it.

After cleaning, the baby wrapped in a blanket was handed over to Anton and filled with Adzan and Al Fatihah.

Then their baby was given to Mela, and put to bed beside her.

"Thank you, you're a wonderful wife, a great mother" Anton said, stroking his wife's head and kissing her forehead again.

Ibu Sinah is amazingly happy to finally have another new grandchild and a baby boy.

Anton immediately informed the family in Bandung, of course Aryani and Pak Salim were very happy.

"Son Anton, what's the name of this mother's granddaughter?"ask Ms. Sinah.

Anton looked at Mela and their little baby.

Mela looked to give up

to Anton about their son's name.

With a smile Anton said, "His name is Gibran Satria Wiharja, which means a clever and virtuous Satria".

Mela blinked her eyes in agreement with her husband.

Then Anton calls home and calls Eti, asking for some clothes for her, Anton's bathing needs and Mela's suitcase that is already there to carry if she gives birth.

Mela and the baby have been moved to the second floor of the inpatient room.

Jacob enters the room when Nova's mother and family want to see a newborn baby.

He was amazed when he saw the tiny little baby sleeping beside Mela.

Then he whispered to Anton and Mela's son,

"Hi little brother".

The little baby squirmed as it was called by the distant cousin's older brother.

That night Anton slept in Puskemas accompanying his wife in the recovery process.

While he is also waiting for the doctor Dhani who will examine Mela, also Farhan pediatrician who will also examine their child.

While lying in an inpatient bed next to his wife, he continued to see his son sleeping in a special baby box placed between their beds.

Mela is seen falling asleep due to fatigue, while Anton is unable to sleep at all.

His eyes could not be closed, he kept staring at the amazement of his baby and also occasionally stroking his wife's head.

Ibu Sinah stayed at the home of Wiwit and Surya, both of whom after knowing Mela gave birth were very happy.

And the plan tomorrow will visit while bringing their children who have started to walk.

While Jaya and Miranti are also happy, it has been almost a week more Miranti always shivering cold and nausea.

His tongue was numb as if he could not feel any taste, and midwife Ayu explained that Miranti might be pregnant.

Later at home asked that Miranti check herself with a test pack and if it is positive later asked to immediately meet Ayu Midwife.

And right at dawn Miranti woke up and examined her urine with a test pack, two thick and clear red lines were seen.

This means that Miranti is also pregnant, and of course Jaya is very happy.

The next day the Bandung troupe arrived in Puskemas, and of course Aryani's mother was so eager to immediately embrace her grandson.

"Gosh, this kid is so big. How much Anton?"aryani's mother asked when she saw her sleeping grandson.

"Three point four kilograms, fifty-two centimeters long, born at four in the afternoon," replied in detail.

"Later Mela and the baby are taken first to the village well, after forty days you just take home well son Anton," said Ibu Sinah began to look for things with the iron.

"No need to go to dong village, if you want to play bring it to Bandung only. Later let me take care of the baby and also Mela," refuted Aryani's mother.

"Aryani's mother, sorry well custom still applies if girls give birth then it must be treated first by the biological mother for forty days," Mother Sinah was seen starting to insist.

"Yes can not, as long as I know that Mr. Salim still holds the custom as well. If the daughter-in-law gives birth then the duty of in-laws who care for and care for their daughter-in-law and grandchildren," same mother Aryani also insistent.

During a fight, Dhani's doctor examined Mela and said she was fine and invited Mela and the baby to be brought home.

So Farhan's doctor examined the little baby and it turned out to be healthy then just as Dhani's doctor had allowed them to go home.

"This is the doctor's father's baby, we're called just for the procedure. I want to go home, Sunday for sightseeing" said doctor Dhani Ramlan.

Anton laughed at that while thanking his two friends.

"Mom, Mother, now Mela and the baby I'll take home. Go home to the house we live in, not to the village let alone to Bandung".

"Mother slept in the usual room that Apri used to occupy, then Mamah and Papah in the next room. But beware if you continue to fuss about taking care of the baby, later I will take you home one by one," Anton said firmly to his mother and father-in-law.

The two were silent while pouting at each other.
