Chapter 30's



"Snake.prokk..prokk.."


The footsteps of Bu Maya and Doctor Arman were heard echoing in the hallway. Meanwhile the black-haired ghost figure was also still chasing after the two of them.


"Ma's Mother! We're hiding there!"


Doctor Arman invites Maya to hide behind a large rock. Bu Maya did not think that the figure of the long-haired woman he spoke to was the ghost of Genderuwo in disguise.


"Luckily I can be on time to help you, otherwise you might have become gendered ghost food earlier!" doctor Arman told Maya.


"I'm sorry, Doc! I was wondering if you were really the Doctor Arman I know or just a trick of subtle creatures!" answer Maya.


"Thank you for helping me, Doc!" said Maya Ma.


"Rroooooaaarrr"


Genderuwo's ghost roared, he turned to his right and left to look for his prey that had run away. The victim he was looking for was certainly Maya.


Doctor Arman and Bu Maya breathe slowly so as not to be heard by the ghost of Genderuwo. Not to forget Doctor Arman also extinguished his torch fire.


"Mother Maya, after Genderuwo's ghost shunned us, soon you followed me! I know the way out here!" doctor Arman's orders to Maya Ma'am.


"Okay, Doc!"


Bu Maya answered Doctor Arman's orders while nodding.


Genderuwo's ghost stepped slowly closer to the rock that was used as a hiding place by Doctor Arman and Bu Maya. His eyes were red and from his mouth were sharp, blood-filled canines. Genderuwo's ghost roared back. The roar from the ghost of Genderuwo squealed in the ear to make the heart of Bu Maya and Doctor Arman pounding.


"Rroooooaaaaarrrr"


The longer, the sound of Genderuwo's ghost's roar felt closer. This made them both panic.


"Dok, what if Genderuwo's ghost finds us hiding here?" ma'am Maya asked in fear, her tone stammering.


"Don't be afraid, Maya ma'am! Pray to the Almighty God, ask Him for protection!" Doctor Arman tried to calm the heart of Bu Maya who was hit by panic.


"Rohooooaaaaaaaaar!"


The voice of Ghost Genderuwo felt closer to them. Bu Maya offered prayers and resigned to God.


"Oh my God, if it is my destiny to die here, then I will surrender to your destiny! But if I am still given a chance to live, then allow me to save them!" Ms. Maya closed her eyes and held a prayer in her heart.


Genderuwo's ghostly footsteps were no longer heard, perhaps he stopped stepping. Doctor Arman tries to peek at Genderuwo's ghost. Apparently the ghost of Genderuwo has indeed stopped stepping, but has not left the place. When Doctor Arman was still peeping, suddenly Genderuwo's ghost turned to look at Doctor Arman. Hurry Doctor Arman back to his hiding position and hope that Genderuwo's ghost does not see him when he peeked.


"Proookk. prookkkp.."


Genderuwo's ghost returns to walk close to the boulder where Bu Maya and Doctor Arman are hiding. Looks like Ghost Genderuwo saw Doctor Arman who had a peek.


Genderuwo's ghost is getting closer to the stone. Finally, Genderuwo Ghost was now right near the rock where Bu Maya and Doctor Arman were hiding. And when Genderuwo's ghost is right behind the stone, Doctor Arman and Bu Maya are no longer there. I don't know where Dr. Arman and Ms. Maya are.

Elsewhere in a dark hallway. Dad was still walking down a dark hallway with flashlights on his head, hoping to find his family soon. He never gets tired of walking. Sometimes he runs to make it faster, but he has not been able to find anyone here.


"Tirta, Nana, Maryam! Where are you guys at? Give me guidance, my Lord!" Dad began to feel confused and lost the direction of destination, he could not find his family.


Father stepped closer to the wall of the hallway, then he leaned against the wall of the passageway. He reached into the pocket of his right pants, then he took out his wallet from his pocket.


Flashback On:


"Krrriiiiii"


Father's phone rang indicating notification of the call from his beloved wife. At that time Father was still running the Service as an officer of the Regional Disaster Management Agency. At that time my father served as Damkar was getting the task to extinguish the red whiz who was devouring the house in the village.


"Astaghfirulloh, Maryam! Why do you keep calling me, don't you know that I'm busy!" father said inside after hearing his phone ring again.


Because the tenth time his wife called, I finally picked up the phone.


"Hello, Assalamu'alaikum! What do you call me, I'm busy! If you ever have a craving, you can call me again an hour later!" say Father.


"My stomach hurts, Mas Andi! I think I want a contraction and a body, Mas! Aawww!" Mamah raised her voice as she began to feel a shock in her stomach.


"Astahgfirulloh, you're seriously Maryam! Then I give permission first the same as the others! You hold it for a second, I'll call Risma to come there soon!" father said in a panicked voice.


Immediately Dad rushed to his fellow teammate Tim Damkar, then he expressed the condition of his wife at home who was experiencing contractions. Finally I got permission to go home to accompany Mamah and witness the birth of her child. Previously it had several times undergone examination and from the team of obstetricians had said that Maryam's mother was pregnant with twins. However, the estimated day of birth from the Midwife is still about one week away. So if indeed now his wife will give birth, it means his birth is one week earlier than the prediction of the Midwife team.


"Kriiiiiiing"


Father's phone rang again, this time it was a phone call from Risma's brother Pak Andi.


"Hello, Andi's Assalamualaikum! You will go directly to the Maternity House, yes, your sister has brought your wife to the maternity house, if you want to witness the birth of your twins then do not be late to come here!" said Brother Risma.


"Good, Brother! I'll get there in time, thanks for helping us, brother! Sorry to be a hassle!" said Mr. Andi.


"Don't overdo it, Andi! Our parents used to educate us to always help each other to brothers, however Maryam is also my sister and the child she was born to is my nephew!" answer Brother Risma.


Not wanting to say much, Sister Rismapun immediately cut off the conversation, "It's fast you have to get here in 10 minutes!" telephony done.


Dad immediately rushed to race his two-wheeled iron horse. He drove his horse at high speed, so that in just fifteen minutes he had arrived at the maternity home. Quickly Dad went into the delivery room. He looked at his wife's face that looked beautiful. His wife also threw a smile knot when she saw her husband had come to accompany her through childbirth. I approached Mamah right beside the bed. Even holding Father's hand, they both looked at each other lovingly.


"Aaaaaarrrrrrrghhh"


Mamah felt a very strong urge from her labor organ. Because it was not strong to withstand the pain, Mamah's hand unconsciously grabbed the hair of Dad who was bending over to encourage his wife. With all her might Mamah strained and all her might as well Mamah's hand pulled Dad's hair. Although Dad felt pain, but he did not complain and instead he smiled while occasionally grimacing in pain when his hair was pulled as hard by his wife.


"Ooooaaaaaaaaaaaa!"


The sound of crying babies screamed and broke the silence, Father and Mamah also felt happiness that was difficult to express in words. Baby boys who look so cute and handsome have been present in the world to color their household life. Mamah's hands are no longer pulling dad's hair. However, 2 minutes later, Mamah again felt a sensation of encouragement from within her delivery organ.


"Aaarrrrrrgggghhhh, Mom! My stomach is contracting again!" Mama said when she felt a strong urge from her delivery organ for the second time.


Back Dad clasped his wife's hand and gave her words of encouragement. This time Dad didn't bend over, probably scared in the crest again by Mamah.


"It seems like it's time for the second baby to be born!" said Bu Midwife to two of her assistants who helped her in overseeing the delivery process of Mother Maryam.


"Aaarrrrrrggghhhhhh"


Mamah shouted again, this time Mamah's hand pulled the collar of Dad's shirt to make it difficult for him to breathe like choking. Dad tried to ignore her and let Mamah continue pulling her collar as hard as she could.


"Oooaaaaaaaa"


Back the sound of baby crying was heard screeching the entire maternity room. This time it was a baby girl who was present coloring the household of Father and Mamah.


After the labor process was completed, the two couples who were always friendly and agreed to give their twins with the names Tirta and Nana. They hope that their twins will be successful and generous in the future.
