Rainbow At The End of Longing

25. Birth of Space Baby

Pov cloud.

A nurse again checked the condition of the opening on the lower part of Shofi's body. I swallowed my mouth rough. Just looking at it instantly made me shudder in horror. I can't imagine what it's like.

Not to mention when I saw the grimacing Shofi enduring the pain as the contractions came again and again. The longer it takes, the more often it comes. I let Shofi hold on to my hand every time the contraction came. Because I don't know what to do either.

"It's been a perfect opening, Doc," the nurse told Doctor Cahya.

"OKAY. Prepare everything. The delivery will be soon we start now," said Dr. Cahya.

"Well, Doc," replied the four nurses who were in the delivery room.

The four nurses then did their respective duties to prepare everything needed for the labor process this time.

"Mom Shofi is ready? We start the delivery process now yes, ma'am," said Dr. Cahya who has started taking a position at the end of the hospital bed for childbirth which is being used by Shofi at this time.

"Yes, Doc," Shofi replied in a weak voice.

"Pak Awan, please help to continue to encourage Shofi's mother, yes. At times like this the support of her husband's father is what Shofi's mother needs most" Doctor Cahya told me.

"Well, Doc," I said.

And finally the labor process began. Doctor Cahya gives instructions to Shofi. One nurse also stands to the right of the shofi, helping Shofi also direct the correct way of taking a breath to Shofi.

"Pak Awan, continue to support his wife, yes. Sister, help me navigate from there. The others prepare everything we need later. Ms. Shofi, when the contraction comes, take a deep breath and then push as hard as you can, Mom. Wait for my cue," said Doctor Cahya giving instructions to everyone.

Me, Shofi, and the four nurses nodded their heads in response. Assented the direction of Doctor Cahya earlier.

"Bu Shofi, later when pushing the mother's head up, yes. The look fell on my mother's stomach. If it is not strong, stop first to set the breath again. Okay?" continued Doctor Cahya.

Shofi nodded his head in response.

"Okay Bu Shofi, set your breath first. Take a deep breath. Push now, Mom!" doctor Cahya's Order.

"Heeeeeeeeennnggghhhh,," Shofi seemed to strain with all his might after previously taking a deep breath.

I grimaced feeling the grip of Shofi's hand that was so strong. I can't imagine how much pain Shofi is feeling right now.

"OK, stop. Well, it's exactly like that. It's starting to come down. Let's repeat again, Mom. Set your breath again. Take a deep breath. Push it again, Mom, now!" doctor Cahya's orders again.

"Heeeeeeeeennnggghhhh,," Shofi again strained with all his might.

"Huft, huft, huft," Shofi's breath was already extremely dull with sweat filling his entire body.

"You're strong, Shofi. You can do it" I said trying to encourage Shofi.

For the first time I accompanied a woman through her labor process. And it turns out this difficult struggle of a woman to give birth to her baby. It is a very difficult struggle to be a mother.

And suddenly a shadow of a middle-aged woman appeared in my head. Is that my mother? Was the woman who had taken the trouble to bring myself into this world first?

"Return the breath first yes, ma'am," said the nurse next to Shofi while giving massages in Shofi's abdomen, possibly to give Shofi additional stimulation.

"It's been seen, Mom. Again, yes, Mom. Give all of your mother's energy. Come on Mom, for baby mom. Shofi's mother certainly can," said Doctor Cahya who also gave encouragement to Shofi.

"Bismillah, Shofi. You can do it," I said back to encourage Shofi.

"Take a deep breath, Mom. And, push as hard as you can, Mom, now!" doctor Cahya again.

'Bismillaah hirrohaan nirrohiim. Allaahu akbar, ' Shofi said basmalah and acted in his heart.

"Shew, huft. Heeeeeeeeennggghhhh,," again Shofi strained with all his might.

And,

"Oeeek, oeeek, oeeek, "" our attention was immediately drawn to the sound of the loud cry of the baby, which filled the room.

That happy smile full of relief instantly expands just like that on my face. I looked towards Shofi. Shofi was also seen smiling with great relief at the moment. A moment later, Shofi also looked at me. We both smiled happily.

"Congratulations, father and mother. A healthy baby boy," Doctor Cahya said with a smile.

"Alhamdulillaah," said my gratitude and Shofi together.

Deg.

Suddenly I felt like there were memories flashing and filling my head at this moment. And that's the memory of my time with Shofi. There was even a little boy too.

I tried hard to try to digest all the memories that suddenly came. Then there was the sound of a nurse approaching me.

"Please tell your father if you want to accuse his son" said the nurse, handing over the baby boy who had been covered with the blanket.

I took the little baby from the nurse's hand. Carefully I carried the little baby. My heart immediately thumped very tight as soon as I saw the face of the tiny baby.

Slowly I moved my face toward the baby's right ear. I then shouted the adhan in the baby's right ear in a soft voice as possible.

After I finished with my adhan, I then turned towards the left ear of the tiny baby. I then echoed the iqamah in the little baby's left ear in a voice that was also as gentle as possible. Trying to introduce the little baby to Allah Subhanahu wata'ala and also about his duties in this world later.

After I finished chanting the adhan and iqamah for the tiny baby, I then handed the tiny baby back to the nurse next to me.

The memories came more and more, filling my whole head. I hold my right temple. Little by little I began to be able to string together all those memories. But I feel like my head hurts too at the moment. Maybe it was because I was trying too hard to be able to immediately string together all those memories.

I rounded my eyes as soon as I remembered something. I then turned to look towards Shofi. I could see Shofi who was also looking at me with a worried face and tears that had soaked his face at this moment.

"Baby Angkasa," I said after painstakingly remembering a name I had chosen for my son when he was born into the world.

"The Cloud," said Shofi who seemed so surprised.

"Aaahhh," I cried holding my head as the pain grew more intense in my head.

My head really hurts at the moment. It feels so dizzy. And suddenly I felt my body just collapse.

"MASS CLOUD!!!"

It was a loud shout from Shofi that I could still hear, just before I finally lost my consciousness.
