My Best Photo's
Grace Paramita Aslon's



This morning, Maura woke up a bit late. Last night he had a hard time sleeping because his stomach was a little sore and tight.


Maura accidentally did not wake Ben because she knew that her husband was busy preparing for a massive photo exhibition along with several famous photographers from several countries.


And when Maura woke up when the time had shown 10 in the morning, she did not find Ben was on her side just a paper placed next to her milk glass.


Honey, drink the milk and phone


if you are awake


I love you - Ben


Maura smiled reading the message. He then grabbed the glass containing the pregnant milk. The glass was still warm indicating Ben had not left the room long ago.


"Hallo, Ma...!" greet Ben from across.


"Hallo darling..."


"Have you been drinking?"


"Already sir..."


"Good to hear. I'm sorry I left and didn't wait for you to wake up"


"It's okay, Ben. I know you're busy. Don't get too tired of working, huh? Greetings to your friends"


Maura immediately headed to the bathroom. He felt his stomach still hurt. As he undressed, he was surprised to see that there was blood.


Maura quickly took a shower and got down to bring it.


"Hi honey...!" greet Alicia who is reading at the dinner table.


"Hallo mommy."


"Breakfast."


Maura nodded and asked the waiter to prepare his breakfast.


"Why, son? Your face looks pale and a little sweaty." Alicia looked at her daughter-in-law with worry.


"My stomach hurts, Mom. The pain also reaches the back of the waist. It was also when I took off my underwear to take a shower. There's a little blood."


"Honey, that's a sign you're going to give birth. It's best that after you have breakfast, we go to the hospital."


Maura nodded. He began to enjoy the food but only a few mouthfuls, he had stopped. The pain in his stomach was becoming more and more unbearable.


"Mommy.., why is the pain growing?"


Alicia immediately gave the driver an order to prepare the car and then took Maura's equipment and the baby is already available in the nursery. When everything was ready, they left.


*********


Ben, who was meeting some friends for a photo exhibition, suddenly remembers Maura. His feelings became agitated at something new an hour ago he called his wife.


"Sir, there's a call from Alicia's mistress" whispered Luna as she reached out to Ben.


"Cummer, mom. What's up?"


"Ben..sayang.hurry to the hospital.Maura want to cleanse"


"Good, mommy." Ben broke into the conversation and immediately stood up.


"Friends, I say yes.my wife wants to give birth" she said, half running away from the room.


Ben's friends just smiled as they shook their heads.


"Ben has changed a lot"


" He's a repentant play boy"


"He got the greatest woman in his nose."


So his friends commented after Ben left. Luna who heard it smiled because she also knew how much Ben loved Maura.


London's city road this afternoon feels very jammed for Ben. He even subconsciously cursed in annoyance because his current thoughts were only on Maura.


He should have predicted this. The time for Maura to give birth is near and she does not have to leave her alone.


After being wrapped in anxiety for nearly a 30-minute drive, Ben finally arrived at the hospital. He immediately ran to the delivery room.


Iriana, Alicia, Gerald even Bryan was there. Ben was happy, everyone gathered to await the birth of his son.


"Come, honey. Maura has already meant you!" alicia.


Ben went inside after first cleaning himself, using sterile clothes prepared by the hospital, as well as a mask.


When his feet stepped inside, there were 2 nurses accompanying Maura.


Ben's heart immediately shook to see Maura's face that was already soaked with sweat and looked a little exhausted.


"Benn....!" call Maura as if she has the power to see her husband.


"Darling...!" Ben approached and immediately held Maura's hand. 2 nurses who were guarding him, retreated slowly and made room for Ben.


"sick....Ben....!"maura said while gripping Ben's arm.


"I told you it's better in surgery, honey. I can see you in pain like this" Ben said with a face full of affection for his wife. For a moment Ben remembered with Alicia's mommy. How he used to argue, often angry if his mommy advised, Ben now understands that all was done by Alicia because her mommy loved him. No mother wants to see her child suffer.


"I'm giving birth normally, Ben. Like my mama gave birth to me" Maura said among the growing pains.


"Ben...sick...ah....!" Maura is getting stronger pulling Ben's hand.


"Darling....!" Ben caressed Maura's stomach.


"Benn.....!" Maura grimaced again with pain.


Ben looked at the doctor Laura who had just entered.


"How's doc?" ask Ben


Pain in the stomach and Maura's waist is increasing. Ben's hand was red even slightly injured because it was pinched and pulled by Maura.


Dr. Laura is ready with all the equipment. Two nurses were there, too. Both of Maura's legs had already been opened and folded upwards.


"Ben..this hurts so much Ben...I don't want to get pregnant again.This is enough yes.." cried Maura among the pain that became stronger.


"Yes dear.nothing that our child is the only important thing you are currently giving birth to him safely. Pray dear." said Ben trying to calm his wife. While Ben did not know how many prayers he said to his wife even though only in his heart.


"Mrs Aslon, now push slowly yes..one two three....!" doctor Laura said.


"Ah...H....!" maura shouted while giving a boost to herself.


"Once again madam.ayo, her head is already visible" exclaimed doctor Laura encouragingly.


"Ah...God help me..!" maura shouted very loudly and then pushed back.


"He's out...!" said doctor Laura happy followed by the sound of crying baby who was initially slow but after sounding very loud.


"Congratulations, ladies and gentlemen of Aslon, your baby girl"


Ben felt his heart shake so much. He never felt like this. A great sense of happiness followed by a feeling of haru that made him cry. He alternately looked at the face of his son who was now placed on Maura's chest, then looked at his wife's face.


"Thank you dear.I love you so much!" ben said then kissed Maura's forehead repeatedly.


"I became a mother, Ben" Maura said among tears of happiness.


"And I'm a father..!" ben said with a smile of his happiness.


After the doctors cleaned their baby. Ben opened his shirt, cleaned the front of his body again and the baby was put to sleep on his stomach in his papa. The warmth of Ben's skin seemed to give peace to his son. The baby slowly stopped crying. Ben clutched her carefully after Laura's doctor covered her son's back with a baby blanket.


Kangaroo therapy was given to this child but was replaced by Ben as they had agreed with Laura's doctor.


From behind the glass, Alicia, Bryan, Iriana and Gerald are seen to watch Ben hug his son. Like a mother kangaroo protecting her child.


"He's happy to be a papa!" said Alicia


"Yes baby, our son has found perfection in his life." continued Bryan.


Ben looked at the four with his teary eyes.


"My Grace's. Grace Paramita Aslon!" he said very proudly.


**********


Maura has been discharged from the hospital for two weeks. And Ben became a husband and papa on standby.he was willing not to follow the opening of the biggest photo exhibition because he did not want to be away from his daughter.


Maura gives breast milk but is also interspersed with baby milk because at night, Maura is not allowed to keep Grace at night because Alicia wants Maura to recover first.


"Hallo..daddy's favorite, is it done breastfeeding?" ben asked as he approached his wife and son who were sitting on the sofa.


"Look at her dark brown hair is a blend of your black hair and my rather golden hair. White skin certainly comes with daddy, nose protruding also follow daddy, lashes that flick a little follow you mostly follow my eyes. His thick and orderly eyebrows are also very similar to mine and ..."


"And what?" asked Maura sharply. "I was pregnant, had a period of very heavy cravings, gave birth to her with a very deep pain, and after this child was born, why look more like her daddy than her mommy?"


"Because my genes are more.because I'm the most passionate about making you pregnant than you are"


"Basic..mes..." Maura did not continue her words because from the door of the room Ezekiel, Faith and Caleb entered.


"Hallo....!" greet Faith with her sweet smile and her already enlarged stomach.


"Let's go in!" take Ben.


They also hugged each other.


"Sorry you couldn't visit while you were in the hospital. Caleb whines to come along. That's why I think I'm home to be more free" Faith said. He looked at the beautiful baby in Maura's arms.


"It's so pretty this kid. He looks a lot like you, Ben" Faith said.


"Dear, everyone says Grace is very similar to me. You're the only one who won't admit it" Ben said and made Ezekiel and Faith laugh because Ben was like a kid who was so happy to feel like winning.


Maura finally smiled. No matter whose child this looks like who is sure he is happy this child adds happiness between himself and Ben.


"Aunt Maura....What's her name?" ask Caleb.


"His name is Grace Paramita. Grace means grace and Paramita is an Indonesian name that means the girl who brings happiness" said Maura while addressing Caleb who continues to look at Grace without blinking.


"Can I kiss him?" caleb asked with sparkling eyes.


"Of course I can." Maura gives permission while bringing Grace closer to Caleb.


" Has any boy ever kissed her?" caleb asked making everyone there look at him in surprise.


"Not yet darling. You were the first to kiss her" Maura said.


Caleb smiled. I don't know what's on the mind of the almost 4-year-old. He suddenly looked down and kissed Grace's tiny lips.


"Caleb!" faith protest.


"Ezekiel, your son is as possessive as you are because he already declared his ownership to Grace by stealing her first kiss. I just kissed her cheek" Ben said, followed by another laugh.


"Mother, Grace smiled. He likes me to kiss him" Caleb said, then kissed Grace's hand gently.


Faith looked at her son in surprise. Caleb seems to like Grace.
