Medina returned to the room after breakfast together. He grimaced feeling his waist that was like it was going to break and feel hot.
"Darling, do you want to get out?" His mind while rubbing his stomach that feels tight and followed pain like a contraction.
Medina held onto the dresser firmly as the pain returned. "Astaghfirullah." He muttered with gibberish. He began to regulate his breathing and when the pain was gone, he tried to walk to pick up his phone.
"Mother..." Medina contacted her mother who was still in the back garden with her mother Safira.
"Mother.it looks like I'm going to give birth." His words made the middle-aged woman across the phone round her eyes.
"Oh God..." Melani's mother immediately informed her of the iron and the two immediately entered Medina's room. Mama Safira did not even forget to call Daniel who was swimming with Syifa.
"Daniel...!! Medinin..." His shouting. Daniel rushed to the surface and ran into the house with a wet body condition.
"Honey!"
"Medina." The three saw Medina standing up and regulating breathing due to continuous and increasingly prolonged contractions.
"Dear."
"I'm gonna change clothes, can you wait for me for a minute?" An anxious and panicked face the man could not hide seeing his wife grimacing in pain.
The two middle-aged women led Medina out when her contract was gone so Medina could walk.
"Come on." Daniel went out of the room and immediately took Medina in his cradle.
Daniel went straight into the car that was ready because the waiter had told him.
"Dear." Lirih Medina closed her eyes. Such a great contraction made him almost lose consciousness.
Daniel drove his car at high speed. Luckily, the road is not too jammed. They could get to the hospital sooner.
"Doctor!!" Daniel shouted at the IGD door, making several doctors and nurses on duty immediately turned their heads.
"My wife is giving birth." His breath was like a man running a marathon.
"You need to calm down so Medina can be calm too." Mama Safira rubbed the back of her nodding son. Then Daniel was called to the doctor and nurse who came out of the delivery room.
"Patients have opened five, sir Daniel can accompany inside." Speak calmly to the doctor.
"Alhamdulillah. Comein, son..." Melani's mother looked pale looking at her daughter-in-law.
"May Medina Ma, Mom." Daniel said and went into the delivery room.
"Honey...." Daniel kissed Medina on the forehead and then went down to the nose and then the lips.
"The doctor said it's opening five. That means we'll soon meet baby El." Medina's eyes glazed over as she said that.
"Contract's gone?" Daniel asked, looking at his wife.
"Yes. But a five-minute gap will arise again." Medina smiled with sweat pouring down her thinness.
"You're a great and strong woman." Daniel's whisper made Medina nod. And when the contraction came again, Medina clutched Daniel's arm so firmly. With his mouth chanting prayers and dhikr so that his heart remains calm.
"Check in again yuk." The doctor went into the room again and did a re-examination after 3 times in a gap of two hours.
"Wahh.His head is already palpable. Sus, please prepare everything. Patient is ready to give birth."
"If there's a great contraction, push it right away, ma'am. You remember the treatment, right?" Doctor Meyri smiled towards Medina and Daniel who were sitting hugging from behind.
"Doc..." Medina when the pain began to feel.
"Okay, ready! Push...oke, great! Breathe-set. Huft...huft!" The doctor gave a cue until Medina pushed back and finally the baby boy screamed loudly when he came out of his mother's womb.
"Alhamdulillah.you're amazing. Congratulations, handsome baby boy as per the prediction of the USG tool." Kekeh Doctor Meyri while lifting the baby up high.
"Thank God, Honey...You are amazing. I love you, I love you.." Daniel's sobs kissed his wife's weak-looking forehead after his long struggle.
And when the 3.5-kilogram baby was placed on Medina's chest for IMD, she burst into tears. Staring at the tiny, handsome face above his chest with a mouth that was searching for the source of his new life .
"My dear..."
****
All the families were present after Medina was transferred to the VVIP room. Daniel continued to hold his wife's hand even occasionally kissing the back of his hand full of love.
"His face is really similar to yours at birth. It's very similar." Said Mama Safira who was holding baby El.
"Medina always said that. My children should look like me." Proudly Daniel.
"So you've got baby El's long name?" Ask Mr. Sanjaya.
"Not yet." Answer Daniel.
"Why?" Mr. Sanjaya frowned. Though he hopes his son-in-law has prepared a long name baby El so that his grandson's name can be immediately included in the list of Sanjaya Group asset recipients.
"It's still not fitting." Daniel's chuckles.
"Baby El is so handsome." Praise Syifa as the little girl teases Baby El on her grandmother's lap.
"Self can't wait for school tomorrow." Syifa's great-grandson was sitting next to her grandmother.
"Why, baby?" Tanya Rani was curious.
"Ifa wanted to talk to Ifa's friends. Now Ifa has two handsome brothers." His chatter made everyone chuckle.
"Oh my goodness, what do you think is going on."
"After baby Syakir and baby El can walk, Mother and Mama will have more children?" Tanya Syifa made everyone grumpy. Then laugh to feel funny with the question of Mama Safira's first granddaughter.
"Wish mom and dad well, baby. I hope you can give Syifa a little brother." Kekeh Rani while shaking her head.
"Come, make a lot of kids." Daniel raised his hand towards Danu.
"You're hanging me? Well, with pleasure." Danu replied with ber tos ria with her sister. Hugged his wife tightly.
Everyone's laughter filled Medina's ward. To make Baby El who was in the arms of Mama Safira surprised and cried.
"Owh..cup. You definitely don't accept it because they're all talking about sister. You have just been born. Oh.my dear..." The joking mama Safira made everyone laugh again.
"May Brother Fian and Brother Donita follow soon." Medina said sincerely and immediately followed everyone.
One by one everyone left, Daniel drove his family and the Medina family to the hospital lobby. While in the room, Medina was accompanied by Mother Melani.
"Has her asi been out?" Ask Melani's Mom.
"Already, Mom. But not much." Medina answered while looking at her son who was sleeping in the baby box.
"It's okay, baby El should often breastfeed later will be more when often given."
"Yes, Mom." Medina looked at her smiling mother.
"Why, Mom?"
"No." Melani's mother rubbed her cheek with her thumb.
"Mom crying?" Medina asked, looking closely at the mother sitting beside the bed.
Medina hugged her mother. "Mom remember my past?" Medina asked as if she understood her mother's grief.
"I'm sorry, Mom."
"I gave you to Agus and Rahmi when you were really just born from my womb. I asked them to take you right away, before Dad and the others knew where Mom was at the time. You are each very red and you never had time to breastfeed because of the great fear you found them." Isak Ibu Melani remembers the condition when she gave birth to Medina at that time.
"Whose baby did you bring home dead at the time?" Medina asked curiously.
"You know?" Melani's mother looked surprised at her daughter's question.
"Yes, Mom, I know. Nurul's midwife told me everything." Answer Medina.
"Either coincidentally or indeed God predestined the way for your mother.
"A girl gave birth without her husband and family, but the baby died. Unwilling, her story is known to her family, the girl leaves the baby at the place of Nurul's Midwife. Then we had an idea to create a scenario for the death of a baby that the mother gave birth to." Remember Melani's mother.
"If you remember all that, mother's chest feels very tight. I want to turn back time. And repeat the story from the beginning." Melani's mother lowered her head to hold sobs.
"Mom, don't torture yourself continuously. We've reached this point. All that is passed is the test that leads to our present life. There is nothing we should regret, but we should be grateful."
"You're right, son. I learned a lot from you." Melani's mother kissed Medina on the forehead.
And at that moment, Daniel went into the room and saw that both of his eyes looked wet and swollen.
"What's wrong?" Daniel asked approaching the bed with a slightly panicked face.
"Thank you, son." Melani's mother replied looking at the daughter-in-law.
