RANIAKU, MY CANDLE

Chapter 88

Maybe because I was too panicked and worried, I instead called Roy and William to come to my room. Right now I don't know what to do. I want those two confidants of mine to come here to accompany me so that I have friends to share the panic.

"What's up, sir? Why did you call us to come here?" ask William. He and Roy looked at each other in confusion.

"Master, it seems you look very panicked. Did Miss Rania really give birth?" This time Roy asked me.

"Hem, looks like Roy. Doctor Santi told me to calm down, but right now I can't help but panic. I'm afraid that bad things will happen to Rania and my children. Especially now that I'm still here and can't do anything about it. I can't go back there to accompany my wife" I replied. "And doctor Santi also said to me, after I had calmed down, then I could call him back, but now I was even more panicked and worried," I added at length, while walking here and there ever since.

Roy and William looked at each other again, after which the two men walked up to me.

"Sir, how can you be calm if you keep pacing like that" William said.

"Yes, sir, William is right. Sit down first, then try to take a deep breath through your nose and then slowly release it through your mouth" added Roy.

For a moment I was silent, trying to digest Roy and William's words.

"Yes, you're right. You're correct. I had to stop pacing back and forth, after which I had to sit in a chair and try to catch my breath well. Doctor Santi said that to me too." I said as I began to follow the instructions given by the two.

And so on, Roy and Willam kept giving me instructions to regulate my breathing. After feeling much better, I called Santi's doctor.

"Do you feel calmer, sir? If yes then I will say something very important about Miss Rania and your two future children" said Dr. Santi.

"yes Doc. Now I feel much calmer" I replied.

However, I cannot deny that my heart is still beating quickly waiting for an explanation from Doctor Santi. It's just that now I can think more clearly than before because on the left side and right I stand Roy and William.

"Look, sir, until now your wife has not been aware of herself. The condition is very weak, and it certainly affects the condition of the baby who is still in the womb. After we checked, the condition of your sons and daughters is quite alarming, almost they experience fetal distress. And the only way we can save the lives of all three is to have a cesarean section as soon as possible" explained Dr Santi.

"If it's best for the three of them, then do it, Doc. Please do your best for my wife and children" I asked.

"Good, Sir."

For the moment my feelings are mixed. Between sadness and guilt. I felt very sad to see my wife lying weak unconscious as she is today. And that bad thing can happen to him because I can't be a good husband to him yet.
