Pellucid

Chapter 34 - Nuchal Cord

Upon arrival Bening at Lempuyangan station, showing at one in the morning. Stations that are already very quiet only left a few people who are asleep in the waiting room chairs.

See the train route. He was in a state of confusion as to where the city was headed. Finally he found an idea to the city of Semarang. The earliest train will leave at seven in the morning.

Finally he decided to sleep also in the hallway chair waiting room station. Ticket sales counters have closed and the morning just reopened.

He took advantage of the moment by taking a short break while waiting for the arrival of dawn.

"I'm sorry, son. Mama took you a long way so a little tired huh? What are you again, baby? Bobo again, right? Tumben your move a little today. Usually play ball inside. To the extent that your kick makes Mama sick," little grandson Bening smiled as he stroked his stomach that had been bulging.

He looked to the right and to the left, the surrounding stalls were also closed. Outside the station there were no merchants passing by. He also breathed deeply.

Then he was forced to go to the toilet to drink a little tap water. Because he felt a little dehydrated and tired after running to end at this Lempuyangan station.

The right day was stressful and exhausting for him. An experience that will never be forgotten in his life.

After coming out of the toilet, he sat back down. He stroked his stomach and tried to talk to the baby.

"Son, sorry Mama. If Mama's not ready for you to meet your father's family. May you not be angry with Mama" said Bening while stroking his stomach and he felt a little movement from the baby and then lost the movement.

"You sleepy, huh? Today is not as aggressive as usual, my dear. Yes it's bobo if sleepy. May tomorrow morning be a pleasant day for us and unforgettable," said Bening softly as he yawned.

Finally Bening closed his eyes and slept in the waiting room chair that was in the corner area. Because he is worried if the bad luck, the other prospective passengers who have arrived can occupy another seat. Closer to the ticket entrance.

He did not want to disturb the comfort of other station visitors when he fell asleep.

The clock shows at six in the morning. The condition of Lempuyangan station is quite crowded with people passing by. Whether it is to go to work or travel that requires a mode of rail transportation.

Moreover, the dominant Lempuyangan station contains an economy class train that is quite affordable among the lower middle class people.

Many traders are ready to sell peddling their merchandise around the station area. Hustle and bustle has started to look quite dense but it has not made Bening wake up.

It was not long before, when there was a call to prepare passengers on the morning train coming out of the loudspeaker by the station, Bening jumped in shock. He soon woke up and sat normally in the waiting chair he was in last night.

After that, he made his hair and clothes a bit messy.

"It's morning, baby. Mama's kind of bad luck waking up. That's a lot of selling. We clean for a while and keep on having breakfast. You must be hungry, right? Sorry, my dear mother."

Clear silence for a moment. His hand stroking his stomach suddenly stopped. He tried to push away all the negative thoughts that raged. He tried to smile again and continued to stroke the baby.

"Hmm, Mama's daughter's tumben hasn't woken up yet. Usually at this time you have exercise in the morning on the stomach of Mama. Were you exhausted last night, so now the bob is so good?" great-grandchildren continue to stroke his stomach and try to find the movement of the baby. But he found no movement.

Bening is still trying to think positively that his prospective son is sleeping fast so that there is no movement that he now feels. Pregnant at a young age and still minimal experience. Moreover, this is her first pregnancy due to unexpected things, making Bening less looking for things about pregnancy.

There is no ultrasound (ultrasound) tool to monitor the condition of the baby in the womb so far.

After talking for a moment with her baby candidate who has not yet shown any signs of movement, Bening decided to get up from her seat. Then walk to the women's toilet to wash your face and urinate for a moment.

As he stood up and walked just a few steps from his seat, his head suddenly dizzy. Then his sight darkened for a moment. Fainted.

Bening's body that was about to fall on the station floor was lucky to still be held back by some other visitors who happened to be beside Bening. He was rushed to a nearby hospital.

Hospital

After thirty minutes, Bening finally woke up. But a bitter reality hit him that he had to face when he woke up.

Nuchal Cord's. One of the complications of labor that often occurs. This condition should not be underestimated because in some cases, the baby's neck can choke his own umbilical cord.

Yes, the baby candidate Bening was declared dead in the womb because he was wrapped around his umbilical cord.

The world collapsed for the second time. The hope that he hung on the baby to continue living alone with the baby, has now disappeared without remaining.

Happiness over a wait that he will soon pet a tiny baby who will call him Mama, became a lamp in his dark life, he said, it was now forcibly taken from him because of a destiny that had not been on his side.

Mournfully. Don't ask how a person feels right now.

When he was a child he often received the anger of the Papa both physically and psychically. And various pressures of life, especially from his own father, so that he often slumped in solitude and had difficulty socializing with many people.

When fate made him lose his purity and failed to continue studying at the campus he wanted with the ideals desired by the extinct Papa already, he tried to strengthen himself to sincerely accept the destiny.

Accepting her condition of being pregnant out of wedlock. Accepting circumstances that make him have to be forced to be independent by circumstances to live a life out there that he has never felt before.

And receive the baby present in his womb from the seed of the man who he himself does not know whether there is love when he fertilizes it or not.

All stacked into one moment now befalls the soul and body of a Bening. His fitness is being tested. Like all this is a dream or reality?

There was no crying coming out of his eyes when the doctor explained carefully to him. There was only a blank look from the look in his eyes that I could not read with a pale face staring at a USG screen in front of him.

There is a condition the baby has. But still and not moving at all with the condition of the baby's neck wrapped around the umbilical cord.

"His heart rate is undetectable. Sorry Madam, we as a team of doctors also defend our condolences. It should be done immediately to remove your baby before any further infection occurs," said the doctor.

Degs...
