NO DIGAS ADIOS (Don't Say Goodbye)

NDA - 125-S

"Mother Selenia had severe preclampsia. Or commonly called Peb. Where the condition of blood pressure is very high, platelets are low and it causes a little disruption to his breathing. His heart rate is also unstable. That's what made him unconscious."

The doctor's explanation made everyone in the place shocked and shocked. And more so Adam. He felt his leg bones wavy but as hard as possible still trying to stand by leaning his body on the wall.

"Then what can we do Doc?" ask Adam worried.

"Please save my son doc" said Mr. Fendi trembling.

The doctor breathed. "This condition is actually very dangerous for his mother. But we will try our best. With great force, we must immediately deliver by caesarean."

"That means my son-in-law is going to give birth prematurely doc?" ask Miss Lisa.

The doctor nodded. "That's all we can do, ma'am, because if we force ourselves to keep the fetus up to a normal age, I can't guarantee it will..."

"Do doc!" Adam interrupted. "Do your best for my wife and child. Save both of them doc," he sobbed.

Lisa approached Adam and hugged him.

"Alright, but before doing that action, we will first give the drug to prevent the condition of convulsions on the mother and the drug so that the baby's lungs are mature enough to be removed from the mother's womb."

The explanation made Adam's head feel heavy. He simply nodded and put in the best action the doctor would do for his wife.

A moment later, Selenia was taken out of the emergency room to the ICU. Adam follows the sisters and the doctor who pushes the gurney where his wife lies helplessly. Her hands continued to clasped Selenia's hands until they arrived in front of the ICU room.

"Sorry Father, you better wait outside first. We will take action before Mother Selenia's delivery is done" one of the sisters said as she closed the door.

Adam could not stop crying, still standing, staring at the closed door. She could think of nothing more than Selenia and her future child. The words of the doctor who also said that it was a small possibility to save both of them, made him hurt. He could not possibly choose, because they were so precious.

She felt so hurt thinking about what had happened to Selenia that it made her unconscious. Because Selenia's condition at first was fine. After dinner, as usual, he will go straight into the room to rest. He never complained to Adam about his condition. Only occasionally did he complain that his legs and back often felt sore. But when checking up and saying the complaint, doctors always say that complaints like this are natural things that will be felt in pregnant women whose gestational age has entered the age of 5 months and above.

If only I hadn't left Selenia in her room alone.

If only I had just followed her to her room after dinner and not been busy with my own work.

If only I had come to his room sooner.

This is all definitely not going to happen.

Oh my...

Unknowingly I destroyed his dream. I've made her teenage years go away. I have also reneged on my own promise to never touch her until she finishes school.

And now this is all happening. If you're angry that I broke my promise, why don't you just punish me, God?

Why should he suffer?

Why should he bear all this?

Please don't take him away from me. Don't take our child candidate. Just punish me, God...

Adam sat hunched over on the chair with both hands wringing his own hair. Miss Lisa could not bear to see the tinge of despair that emanated from her son's face. But there was nothing he could do but continue to calm Adam down. His own heart was tight because he knew how dangerous preclampsia was. He remembered that one of his friends had died from the disease. Miss Lisa closed her eyes and shook her head. No, this should not happen to Selenia. I have to be sure everything's gonna be okay. Save my son-in-law and future grandson, Lord...

When the ICU door opened, Adam immediately stood up to the Doctor and the nurse who had just come out.

"How's doc? How's my wife doing?"

"We are taking action to help the patient's condition to be stable before a cesarean section is performed. We asked you to be patient, yes" The doctor squeezed Adam's shoulder slowly.

"But my wife will be fine, right doc? My wife and child-to-be can be saved, can't you, Doc?" ask Adam to hunt.

"This sir..." The doctor breathed a long breath. "We can't promise, but we will definitely try our best. Sorry, it's heavy. But as a doctor, I also have to say the worst is likely to happen given..."

"Please doc... tolooong..." Adam could no longer hear the continuation of the sentence that the Doctor would say. "I'll pay anything, even with my life." he grabbed the doctor's hand and squeezed it out with a plea.

Two sisters who stood beside the doctor also looked at Adam who continued to beg while crying. It was obvious how much he was afraid of losing his wife.

"Alright sir, we'll try. Please pray yes" the doctor said later and left the ICU room.

After the doctor died, Adam sat down again. There was nothing he could do but wait.

Amyn. Adam answered in his heart.

Mr. Fendi and Mr. Edwin could only remain silent. This fact really makes Mr. Fendi hit.

...🌺🌺🌺...

Selenia was removed from the ICU and taken to the operating room because labor was about to take place. Adam walked with the gurney carrying his wife with a feeling of uneasiness. Selenia who was able to open her eyes, just stared weakly at Adam who kept trying to be beside her.

"Dear, I'm sure you can. You're strong." said Adam without even taking off his grip on Selenia's hand.

Selenia blinked her eyes softly in response that she heard what her husband said.

Arriving in front of the operating room, the nurse held back Adam's steps who intended to come inside.

"Sorry sir, you better wait outside."

"But sus, I want to accompany my wife. Please let me in."

"Sorry sir, but this has become a hospital procedure" said the nurse and immediately closed the door.

Shortly thereafter the lamp above the operating room door lit up. Signs of the operation are underway. Adam took a deep breath and threw it away slowly. He turned around and sat in a chair in front of the operating room. In the row of chairs, his three parents were also waiting for the results of the operation with their respective anxieties.

About half an hour later they waited in front of the operating room but there was no sign of the operation having been completed. Adam was getting restless and unsettled in his chair. He stood up, peering through the operating room door that was clearly sealed shut, pacing back and forth while continuing to hope for the best.

Until finally, his ears heard the cry of a baby that was so loud from inside the operating room. Adam stopped his pacing activities and ran to the door. Likewise with his three parents who immediately stood together. They throw smiles at each other and breathe a sigh of relief. Their grandchildren have been born into the world.

Adam's head looked up at the operating lamp that was still burning impatiently. Her son is already born, it means that the labor operation has been completed. Why hasn't the doctor come out yet?

One second.. two seconds.. three seconds.. four seconds.. five seconds... six.. seven. eight..

Jeglex!

The operating room door is open. A Doctor in full surgical uniform came out of the room and his face looked so tired.

"His son was born, Doc??" greet Adam with a glowing face. Since hearing the sound of the baby's cry, his anxiety gradually disappeared.

"The father has been born safely" replied the Doctor flatly. "But...."

Adam's forehead shriveled. "But? What doc???" the look on Adam's face that was shining back dimmed.

Miss Lisa, Mr. Fendi and Mr. Edwin approached Adam together. What the hell's going on?

The doctor let out a deep breath before finally saying....

"We tried our best, but we couldn't save his mother's life" the doctor said with a heavy heart. "Selenia's mother has passed away," she lowered her head.

"WHAT??!!" Adam's Screech. He shook his head, unable to believe what he had just heard.

"CELL...!!" regardless of the Doctor who was still trying to give an explanation, Adam immediately barged into the operating room. She saw her son being taken care of by several sisters near the incubator box. While a nurse appears to start stripping medical equipment attached to Selenia's body.

"Sel wake up Cell!!!" Adam hit the gurney where Selenia lay and hugged the calm and cold body tightly. "Dear wake... look our child has been born baby, you are amazing, you have struggled, but why do you even stayin me... You have promised me to take care of him together right?? Build Cell...don't go...! Don't stay with me.." she cried as she continued to kiss Selenia's cheek.

"Patient father yes," said the nurse who had finished removing all medical devices from Selenia's body. He rubbed Adam's back.

"Please install the tools again sus. My wife is still alive, please sus...." Adam holds the sister's hand that will cover Selenia's body.

But the sister nodded slowly. "I'm sorry sir, but your father's wife is dead."

Adam's body was increasingly melunglai when the whole body Selenia had been sealed tightly with cloth. He squatted on the edge of the gurney with a hand that still did not want to escape from Selenia's hand.

"Wake up baby... don't stay with me.. banguun...!"
