My Bow to the Destiny of Love

The spirit of work makes you forget everything

Today is the last day Ardian entered work after applying for leave since one week ago. He should standby at home in case his wife gives birth at any time.

Since morning, his desk has been filled with stacked files. Yes, Dodit handed Ardian a stack of papers as soon as Ardian landed his butt on his chair. Fortunately, Chayra always provides service services for her husband before leaving for work, so Ardian always smiles even though sometimes dizzy to take care of files that do not run out. This morning, he had to prepare a file for Mr. Randi's meeting materials later this afternoon.

"Ar, would you like to coffee? If I want to make it all together." The offer from Dodit because it sees Ardian that looks focused in front of the computer.

"Your coffee is good?" Ardian replied without taking his eyes off the computer.

Dodit grunting. "Ditawarin even used the event to ask again. I want to brew coffee. I don't trust myself to make my own coffee. Often sweetness when concocting yourself."

"Well, that's your answer. Why be upset if I question whether your coffee is good or not."

"Udah, what do you want? If I don't want to do it for myself. I brought one sachet. But if you want, I'll take two."

"What's the brand of coffee? White or black..?"

Dodit returned snorting. "Already ah, over.. If you want to do it yourself." Dodit passed while grumbling in annoyance. "Ditawarin doesn't even thank you." Grumbling while closing the door, initially wanting to slam, but he puffed. Holding the door so as not to make a loud noise.

Ardian who saw the incident had a stifled smile. "Don't try anything, Dit. We are not bosses who can do anything. Remember each position." Intentionally Ardian said in a satirical tone. Dodit lowered his head at the door with a grimacing smile.

"In return for warning you, make me coffee like you offered."

"Heh, that was a bargain. Uh, now it's gonna be made."

"I just appreciate your offer."

Dodit did not respond to Ardian's remarks, continuing his steps to the pantry to make coffee as he had intended earlier.

Ardian was busy until lunchtime. For the sake of reaching the job target, he did not come out for lunch. Just eating biscuits and chocolate to prop up his stomach.

"Aren't you having lunch, Ardian?"

Ardian raised his head and looked at Mr. Randi who was standing in front of his desk. "Eh, sorry, sir. Awkward to be delayed. The file for this afternoon's meeting I've prepared, sir. I'll be in the room soon." Ardian got up to retrieve the file he had prepared since this morning.

"I don't charge that, Ardian. I just pity to see you since morning never rest. Do your eyes not stare at the computer screen constantly."

"Ng.no, sir. I have been on two breaks since morning. This morning the Dhuha prayer and the Zuhur prayer pas. A few times I looked the other way so my eyes wouldn't hurt."

Mr. Randi approached if he patted Ardian's shoulder gently. "Good luck's. Hopefully in the future you will be better. I've seen your hard work these past few weeks."

"Thank you, sir."

"Yes, I live first. Don't forget to rest."

"Thank you for the attention, sir."

Mr. Randi nodded as he passed from before Ardian.

Santi's mother rushed into her daughter's house. Chayra called her an hour ago when her stomach felt heartburn every ten minutes. Ms. Santi just told her daughter to be patient and calm while she arrived.

"Moor.." Miss Santi immediately looked for the existence of the princess as soon as he set foot in front of the door.

"Miss Ayra is upstairs, ma'am. He's still in his room. Aunt asked him to wait for Mom downstairs, but he refused." Bi Idah answered in panic.

"Is Ardian not home yet?"

"Miss forbids Aunt to tell Mr. Madam."

"Astagfirullahal'adzim, he should go home no matter what. Now Auntie calls Ardian to tell him to come home straight away because his wife's about to give birth."

"Okay, Madam."

"Your husband where the hell is, son... God, how many times have you been contacted, haven't picked up the phone yet." Miss Santi rubbed her face violently. He is really confused at the moment.

"Mother is calm, Mas Ardian must still be busy so can't be contacted." Chayra was finally able to chim in her mother's speech after taking a deep breath and the contractions disappeared.

"Mother will call Alesha first then. We should have friends later to do the job." Throughout the rest of the trip, Miss Santi finally spent contacting her family members. Including in it contacting the iron.

Meanwhile...

Ardian is busy in his office. He realized his phone was beeping repeatedly. But just to get up and see who contacted him was very heavy. Deliberately put the phone in a small closet where it stores the prayer mat so that the flat object does not interfere with its work concentration.

But, it even makes him not aware that the wife is in need of it at this time.

Santi's mother contacted him again after Chayra was taken to the delivery room. When he arrived in front of the IGD, the Doctor immediately ordered to be taken to the Obgyn room because there was a serious patient in the IGD.

"Ardian, hp you the feeling of the sound directly from earlier. Why not look for a moment ready to know there is something important." Dodit lowered his head against the wall between his desk and Ardian's.

"Norgin', Dit. It's gonna be a little cramped." Reply Ardian. His hands were busy typing something.

"But noisily know. If you don't want to be disturbed, you just turn it off or use silent mode."

"Mm.. in a moment. Let's just say that ringtone's a lullaby."

"Shiiiitttt." Dodit got up to turn off Ardian's phone, which was still beeping.

Ardian stretched his muscles when it was felt that his work had been stretched. "Alhamdulillah..I can finally go home rest in peace now."

"Ar, look who contacted you from that moment your mother-in-law. He couldn't have called you this often if nothing mattered."

Ardian was stunned, a split second of him trying to digest Dodit's speech intent.

"Mother-in-law?"

"Yes, you look. I think there's something important." Dodit placed Ardian's phone in front of him. "There's a message too. But, your phone is locked." Dodit went straight back in and sat back down in front of his desk.

Ardian grabbed his phone. "Astagfirullahal'adzim." he screamed. "Oh my God, Chay..." Ardian immediately got up and tidied up his desk. The dodit that just came back in lowered his head. "What's up, Ar?"

"My wife was taken to the hospital." Ardian's face looked tense.

"No, what I said earlier. There must be something important. You're too focused on work." Dodit finally returned to Ardian's desk. "Have gone home. Let me finish your desk."

"Thank you, Dit. May your sustenance be smoother with the good you do." Ardian hurried to leave his room without waiting for Dodit's reply. The stone arrived at the door, he turned again. "My workbag missed, same wallet watches too."

Dodit pulls Ardian's hand. "Silence, Ar. You're gonna drive the car now. It would be dangerous to drive in such a panic." Dodit took Ardian to sit on the sofa in front of his room. "Now take a breath, Istighfar.m sure that your wife is fine. He was taken to the hospital. He must have gotten medical attention. I won't let you go if you still panic."

"Why are you sitting here?" Mr. Randi who just came out of his room was surprised to see two of his assistants sitting on the sofa in a position like strengthening each other.

"Eh, anu, sir. This. Ardian's wife wants to give birth. But, he was panicking so much. I'm afraid that if he brings a vehicle in a panic, it could be dangerous later."

Oak Randi glared at his surprised eyes. "Go home then. Let your wife be taken to the hospital quickly."

"It's been taken with Mother-in-law, sir."

"Then you're following now. Or if you're worried about bringing your own car, let Dodit deliver for a while. It's okay, Dit?"

"Eh, yes, good sir. Come on.." Dodit immediately pulled Ardian's hand that looked resignedly withdrawn.

Several times Ardian cursed when met with a red light. Dodit could only shake his head slowly at Ardian's behavior. "Patience, Ardian...." Fortunately, Dodit followed Randi's advice to take Ardian. I don't know what would happen if the man brought his own car.
