My Blinds On The Eagle

S'E'S' ....... Baby Saving Private (2)

Rayhan is still pensively staring at the expanse of clouds that look like fine cotton sugar and may also taste sweet. But actually it is a collection of water vapor that gathers at and is at an altitude with a low temperature, so that it shows its own visual beauty. From his seat right next to the window, it felt like those soft lumps could be reached. But the man thought nothing of the clouds.

" You didn't say ...", Nilam's voice turned into a quiver. " Why should it reach Thailand???... when?? ", and it ends with a sobbing cry.

The next morning when Nilam had just finished combing his hair in front of the dresser, Rayhan very slowly and carefully conveyed the contents of Edward's phone last night. Which actually has been conveyed a little to Nilam. The woman agreed without waiting for the story. And it ended like this.

" It was planned for up to two weeks.but, I insist that you go home as soon as you feel the contraction", Rayhan's voice sounded full of guilt. He approached his weeping wife, took her head in her arms and gave a long kiss to her soft, fragrant hair. Her chest feels very tight.

Imagine he had to split up again, even if it was only two weeks. But Nilam's condition is really in the peak of trouble and needs more attention. Rayhan then knelt down and gently cupped Nilam's face which bell freed from sobs. The man's burly fingers stroked his cheeks and wiped the rolling tears making a wet trail.

" If you really object. I.. can immediately start a business here. or join in the company mamah. How ? ".

Rayhan really hopes to find Nilam's face back cheerful with a beautiful smile that somehow, according to Rayhan lately looks more beautiful. But he didn't find it......

" No. ", that was all that was said from Nilam's lips, while he again scattered in Rayhan's arms. Hugging this man tightly and clearing the room indefinitely in his heart to store the soothing fresh scent that came out from his warm and stocky body.

" Nil... Nilam... tightness.could you loosen ", Rayhan's voice restrained.

" I'm sorry...no ...".

Huh?!.... Rayhan. But a moment later he smiled and returned the hug tightly as well. I don't know why it feels so comfortable and fun.

" Two is not that....what does that mean?", Rayhan asked while slightly freeing himself from his wife's embrace. Staring directly at a pair of gray eyes as dark as dusk when cloudy. Trying to read what is currently being felt by the owner of the net.

" No. You can't cancel your promise to Edward.... Not one of them. I won't stop hugging you ".

Rayhan smiled with a feeling of overwhelming relief. He touched the beautiful face in front of her gently. While Nilam also carrying a wide palm to support his left cheek, warm and comfortable. The woman closed her eyes as if she was letting the warmth get through to the atoms of her body.

" You should be able to teach Alend and his sisters this promise and keep it. Teach them to be unselfish .. teach them about true love ".

" Nilam ... ".

" But .. promise me one thing ".

" Yes .... ".

" Video calls every day as often as possible.and also.effort to be able to accompany baby twins... as they struggle out of my stomach ".

" Nilam. " Insha Allah... ".

" When did you leave ? ".

" Morrow night ... ".

" Huh???.. That sudden moment?... ".

Nilam has not yet returned to protest. The ringtone sound from Rayhan's phone distracts the attention-demanding atmosphere. With a gentle hand gesture, Rayhan asked Nilam to calm down and he immediately grabbed the object on the dresser.

Rayhan's countenance turned very serious shortly after hearing Edward's raucous and agitated voice. He looked at Nilam who was now looking at him curiously.

" Hello...Ed. This is my wife. Speak ", Rayhan said after making the communication device listen louder in speaker mode.

" Linz.. he ... last night tried to abort his womb. by taking drugs.. I. I managed to prevent it... we ... had a little wrestling.. but.. now he .. was unconscious. I.. I. accidentally pushed him... and he fainted ".

Nilam and Rayhan looked at each other. Edward's voice sounded so restless and scared in between long breaths that were able to hide his restrained sobs. Even now, the man could actually cry straightforwardly. The pain, fear and worry that made Nilam and Rayhan on the other hand become so concerned.

"Sir Edward... is now Miss Linzhi already in the hospital?", Nilam's voice asking gently made Edward sound a little quietened from his neck.

" Yes.yes.he's in the ER. I have also told both of Linzhi's parents about this. They .... very angry at his daughter ".

" That means .. you have the support of Mr. Philippe", this time Rayhan asked .

" Yes Hans. some time ago I had talked about the seriousness of my handing Linzhi on his papa ".

" Sir Edward... have you both checked the pregnancy....?" asked Nilam again.

" Not Neel.... Linzhi always refused it ".

Nilam's question this time did not immediately get an answer from Edward. It seemed like the man was concentrating on remembering something

" That was.. emhhh.. last month ... "

" Are you sure?" this time Rayhan asked.

" *Of course..why do you ask like that Hans ?".

" Mister Edward. possible age of Ms. Linzh 5 weekly. Mumpung is still in the hospital.Have the obstetrician do the first ultrasound.don't tell the lady if she might refuse. Tell the doctor everything*... ", nilam took over the conversation.

" Yes... yes.... what will happen .... when the USG is ? ", ask Edward enthusiastically.

" *You .. you will see signs of the life of the tiny creature. Creatures created because ".

" Yes.you will hear and see his heartbeat*" Rayhan added.

" Wonderful ".

And so, Nilam finally really let go and let go of her husband. For the sake of the three living things that are in the bosom of two different women. Saving Private Baby is how Rayhan gave a name to his mission this time.

Nilam, Alend accompanied by a driver and Bu Endang delivered Rayhan's departure this afternoon to the airport. Ms. Endang was Rayhan's nanny during kindergarten through elementary school. When Rayhan enlisted the help of his foster mother to accompany Nilam, the woman happily greeted him. Seeing the handsome Syailendra, this woman grew happier.

Although there is already a friendly, supple and deft Endang bu, Nilam still hugs Rayhan long enough at the door of the introduction. Even the pregnant woman's tears wet the chest of her husband's shirt. Rayhan could only hold it tightly. It was really hard to leave these people.

When he heard his name called through the loudspeaker, inevitably Rayuan released the hug. Then kneeled and cupped his wife's big belly, gently caressed and let her catch a moment .

" Daddy not long..wait Daddy come home. Be nice with mommy and sister .. yes ", whispered the man. Miraculously .. responded to the active movement of the two beings in the stomach.

" Daddy.... ", Alend chimed in while hugging the father .

" Good boy. See you in two weeks ".

And finally Rayhan's strapping body disappeared behind the departure gate. He did not turn his head at all, but the sound of his son's cry asking him to be careful was still very clear. The dashing man hid a single dot of water that was angled in his eyes. Rayhan was so sure, if this time he turned his head, surely he would ignore all forms of solidarity, friendship, responsibility and also promise. He will certainly run. Rayhan wiped the corner of his eyes imperceptibly and hurriedly stepped up, focusing on his mission this time.

Now, Rayhan was still staring at the clouds with a hollow feeling. He imagined Nilam who had once single-handedly left this country. Leaving the only family he had, forsaking his love, and having no idea what would welcome him in that cold land. Nilam must be crying. Ah maybe not, she's a very strong woman. But why was she crying????...well that's what a woman should do because there was her husband's chest and shoulders where he shed all his tears.

💫💫💫🌏🌙🌘🌕💫💫💫

***When millions of sweat make me tired to sort out...

I know, you're gonna come wipe him without asking

The fragrance that envelops you also embraces my fragile soul

And I never knew where you got that paradise fragrance from.

As I stood in doubt and fatigue that made my heart weak

Your whisper, as if never tired of hugging and touching

Reminds me of one purpose

Makes me sure about sincerity

I'm.......

Just got a chest where to spill your tears

L'm......

Only have two arms without wings, to embrace your sorrow

I .....

Just have the determination to make you always happy***
