Ride in Bed
The Fruit of the Heart
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam. Bi Iis.. login, bi.”
The goddess welcomed the arrival of Iis. The woman kept her promise to come ahead of labor. This month is the time to give birth. Doctors predict next week the Goddess will give birth to her first child. Behind Iis, Amir follows.
“Kang Amir is coming too. Healthy kang?”
“Aalhamdulillah's. Meni bulued kitu, Wi. hahaha (a really big bullet, Wi).”
“Akang mah, nyebelin.”
“Bi. kang.”
Aditya came out of the room and greeted Iis and Amir. The man allowed Iis to put her luggage in Nenden's used room. The goddess went to the kitchen to make a drink. Aditya asks Amir to sit with him in the front room. The man kept his promise not to take the job out of town again before his wife gave birth.
“Tumben kang, come here.”
“Yes, all for an interview. Thank God I was called interview.”
“Alhamdulillah, kang. Interview where?”
“In cigarette company. If Soekarno Hatta road is far from here?”
“Lumayan, kang. Interview there?”
“Ngga, interview on Otten Street. Deket no?”
“Lumayan also.”
“Waduh far kadieu atuh (waduh far there to here).”
“Ngga nothing, kang. For the sake of the wife's child, hopefully successfully yes interview.”
“Aamiin.”
The Goddess came to bring four glasses of drinks and snacks and put them on the carpet. Iis came out of the room, then joined the others. Sitting next to the Goddess. The woman rubbed her nephew's distended stomach.
“Sing healthy bageur, sing lungsur langsar, healthy bayina, healthy ibuna (healthy good child, smooth, healthy baby, healthy mother).”
“Aamiin. replied Dewi and Aditya simultaneously.
“You want to go, Wi?”
“Iya, bi. Want to see a doctor, check the content.”
“Oh yes have gone aja.”
“This is again waiting for a taxi online.”
Aditya's phone clinks. Taxi drivers online reported that they had arrived near the Haji Soleh gate. The Goddess took her bag, then came out along with Aditya. As scheduled, today they will meet with the obstetrician. Aditya helps his wife get into the car.
The streets of Bandung this morning are not too crowded. The journey to Mitra Sehat hospital is not constrained by congestion. They quickly got there. After registering, they waited in front of the obstetrician's practice room. There are three pairs already waiting.
While waiting for his turn to enter, Aditya continued to rub the stomach of the Goddess while reciting sholawat. He felt guilty for being out of town more than accompanying his wife during pregnancy.
“Sorry yes, De.. during pregnancy I often leave you.”
“Ngga nothing, mas. Kan mas instead of playing, but work for our children also.”
“Still, dear.”
Aditya kissed the Goddess's forehead. He didn't care about the other couple looking at him. The goddess is her legal wife, it doesn't matter if she kisses her like that.
“De.. tomorrow I have to gig.”
“Where, mas?”
“Di Cipedes's. He wants to be rejected, but bang Wira play just take a job without his name to me,” Aditya annoyed.
Wira is the manager of The Soul. He arranged the band's schedule, including selecting incoming offers. In addition, Wira is also actively getting endorsements for the band. Actually Aditya had warned not to accept the job before the day of labor, but because the event in Cipedes was his friend who held EO, Wira did not feel good to refuse it.
“Ngga nothing, mas. Can still be in Bandung.”
“Sorry yes, dear. But tomorrow is not long. At most 3 hours lah.”
“Mother Goddess.”
The conversation of Dewi and Aditya is interrupted when the sisters call upon the name of Dewi. While guiding the Goddess, Aditya entered into the room. Doctor Citra, the gynecologist Dewi was already waiting inside. The woman allowed the Goddess to climb onto the examination bed. The nurse immediately checked the tension of the Goddess, then prepared to do USG.
Coldness felt in the stomach, when the nurse applied the gel to it. Doctor Citra immediately moved the probe over the Goddess' stomach. Several times he examined the woman's stomach, making sure the baby was in good condition.
“Position is good, ma'am. The weight is enough. But this is the volume of water so why is it reduced huh?”
The doctor invited the Goddess to get off the bed. Aditya helps his wife down, then takes her to a chair in front of the doctor's desk.
“Mom's amniotic fluid reduced. Try a lotin mom drinking young coconut water or can also pocari sweat. Next week mom check again, if the water is still reduced, forced mother must be induced,” explained the doctor.
“Induction, doc?”
“Iya. But calm down, In Shaa Allah everything is fine. Don't forget to drink his young coconut water.”
“Yes, doc.”
“Healthy keep yes, ma'am. Don't mind much.”
The goddess threw a smile at the doctor Citra. Then the woman came out of the examination room. The feeling of the Goddess was not good to hear the word induction, but she tried to calm down and pray the best for her son.
Aditya's online taxi arrived in front of the hospital lobby. After Dewi got into the car, Aditya followed in. The goddess hugged the husband's arm. He still couldn't shake his anxiety.
“Why baby?”
“I'm afraid that I should be induced. Said induced it hurts more than natural contraction.”
“Prayer, baby. In the Lord, you can be a normal person without being induced. Our son will be nice, he certainly will not trouble his mother.”
“Aamiin.”
Aditya hugged the wife's shoulder, hugged the woman's body to relieve the anxiety felt by her. In his heart continue to pray, may his son and wife be given salvation.

Aditya left an hour ago. Since Aditya left, the Goddess did not come out of the room. He also refused when Iis asked him for breakfast. Her eating desire today went nowhere. She couldn't sleep last night either. And now his stomach hurts, and his intensity is getting more frequent.
Unable to endure the pain, the Goddess slowly woke up from her sleep then came out of the room. He approached Iis who was watching television. Amir himself is conducting an interview at his new workplace. Seeing the Goddess coming, Iis woke up then helped the woman to sit down.
“Bi.”
“Why?”
“My stomach hurts so much.”
“Sick how? The mules? You contraction times.”
“Ngga know, bi. The pain from here continues down.”
“Maybe you've contracted.”
“I want to pee first, bi.”
Iis woke up again, then helped the Goddess towards the bathroom. He deliberately did not close the door, afraid that something might happen to his nephew. Before long the Goddess came out, her face showing panic.
“Why Wi?”
“Kok no blood out yes, bi?”
“That's a sign you want to be born. Let's take us to the hospital. O Allah Adit, Amir is not at home. Try calling Adit. Hape where are you?”
“In room, bi.”
Iis rushed into the room to retrieve the Dewi's phone. He came out to give the square flat object to his nephew. Then she went into the room to change clothes. He also went back to the Goddess' room to pick up a bag containing changing clothes and baby supplies.
“Where?” ask Iis.
“Ngga lifted, bi. Maybe Adit mas again gig.”
“Ya, we took a taxi online. You just send a message to Adit tell follow to the hospital.”
“Iya, bi.”
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
In the midst of the panic, there was the sound of a man saying his greetings. Iis looks relieved when I see Adrian coming. The woman rushed over to Adrian who was still standing at the door.
“Yes Allah, son Rian. Thank God.”
“Why, bi?”
“Which editor?”
“Adit again gig.”
Iis immediately helped the Goddess to wake up. He gives Adrian a bag while taking the Goddess out. After locking the door, they rushed towards Adrian's car. Adrian asks Iis to sit behind the Goddess. The man immediately ran his vehicle.
“Adit called?” Adrian looked back for a moment.
“Ngga lifted, bang. But I sent a message.”
Adrian's foot pressed the gas pedal, pushing the vehicle even tighter. Seeing the Goddess in pain, he could not bear and had to arrive at the hospital as soon as possible. Fifteen minutes later they arrived at the hospital. Adrian came down quickly to open the door. He asked the security officer to get a wheelchair for his sister-in-law.
🌸🌸🌸
Doctor Citra welcomes the arrival of the Goddess. It is fitting that yesterday the water of the establishment has been reduced, it turns out that the birth time of the child in the womb of the Goddess is near. Looks like the woman's amniotic fluid is seeping.
“New opening four, mom. You lie down, don't walk. The amniotic fluid of the mother has seeped, fearing many come out later,” said doctor Citra after checking the state of the Goddess.
Adrian who was in front of the ward continued to contact Aditya, but the younger brother had not yet raised his call. He then chose to contact both of his parents. After informing her about Dewi, Adrian again contacted Aditya, but the man still did not answer the call. He then contacted Roxas, and similarly, Roxas did not answer his call.
“De.. You eat first so there is energy. You have not eaten from morning,” said Iis who accompanied Dewi in the room.
“I'm not a laper, bi.”
“Pacquisition. You need energy to mingelirin later.”
“What do you want to eat? Let brother buy.”
“Ngga tau, bang.”
“Buy the torn bread or something, the important thing is that someone comes in. Buy sweet drinks too. Dewi has not eaten anything from morning,” said Iis.
“Yes already, brother came out first.”
The man damaged the top of the Goddess' head for a bit, then rushed out of the treatment room. He's headed for the mini market in the hospital lobby. After buying bread, Adrian also bought a snack market whose shop is next to the mini market. He also bought warm chocolate for his sister-in-law.
After getting everything needed, Adrian immediately returned to the treatment room. The Goddess's moans came as the man's steps drew closer. The Goddess' face showed an expression of pain. Seeing that, Adrian panicked himself.
“Bi.. Goddess why?”
“Ngga. Naturally, she again contractions.”
“Mas Adit...” call Dewi slowly.
“Propay yes, Wi. Brother will keep calling Adit. You eat first, yes.”
The Goddess' head shook his head, but Iis and Adrian continued to persuade him. Inevitably, the Goddess followed Iis' advice. Little by little he ate the bread fed by Adrian. The man also gave her a warm chocolate.
“If you are sick, you pinch your brother's hand,” Adrian reached out his hand.
“Ngga nothing, bang. I. aaaarrggghhhh.”
Due to the pain felt, the Goddess involuntarily gripped tightly onto Adrian's hand. The grip lasted a while and loosened as the pain subsided. Adrian's white hand looks reddened by his grip.
“Abang, sorry.”
“Ngga anything.”
From the outside of the room, there was a noise. Ida seems to have come. The woman did not come alone, but together with Wardani and Cahyadi. His parents just arrived two hours ago. Toni is still in the office. The man promised to get to the hospital soon.
“Dewi... You already want to give birth,” Ida soon approached her daughter-in-law.
“Iya, ma.”
“Which editor?”
“Adit again, ma. I sent him a message, send him directly here,” replied Adrian.
“What opening date?”
“So fitting checked again, opening six he said.”
“Duh. granddaughter of Mbah. strong yes, son. Da, that's her waist try to elus, pain there if pregnant boy.”
Ida obeyed what her mother said. His hand rubbed his daughter-in-law's waist slowly. The pain again hit the Goddess. His hands were tightening his bed sheets. He wants to cry or scream, but it will only drain his energy.
A midwife came into the room. He was about to check out the opening of the Goddess. Adrian and Cahyadi came out of the room. Ida, Iis and Wardani continued to stare at the midwife who was examining the Goddess.
“Mother is moving to the delivery room now yes. It has opened eight.”
The midwife brought the wheelchair closer to the bed. Iis and Ida help the Goddess down then push her towards the delivery room. Adrian and Cahyadi followed them all the way to the front of the delivery room. Ida and Iis chose to be in the room accompanying the Goddess until Aditya came. While Wardani out, taking her husband also Adrian waiting in front of the delivery room.
🌸🌸🌸
While running Aditya entered the hospital building. He was shocked to see that his phone contained many missed calls from Dewi and Adrian. Several messages also came in, telling him to go straight to the hospital. As soon as The Soul finished performing, Aditya rushed to the hospital. Roxas also went with him.
“Bang.. Which goddess?”
“Goddess in the delivery room. You go there now.”
“Iya, bang.”
With long steps Aditya immediately headed for the delivery room. At the same time, the midwife said the opening of the Goddess was complete. Doctor Citra immediately entered the room, he asked Ida and Iis to wait outside. Only Aditya is inside.
“Mas..” Call Goddess.
“Honey.. strong, yes.”
Doctor Citra began to give a cue to the Goddess. Aditya also guides him to do breathing. Lack of sleep and also only eat a little, making Dewi did not have the energy to push her baby out. Aditya continued to be beside him giving his spirit.
It has been almost two hours the Goddess struggled to give birth to her baby, but the baby is still not out. Only the head came out a little. The hand of the Goddess grasped tightly the hand of Aditya who continued to be beside her.
“Mas.. I am not strong.”
“Come on, you can definitely. Come on baby, the time makes it strong, the exit is not strong?” janda Aditya so that the wife is not too tense.
“Mas iihh.”
“Come. You are strong, let me be here. Want to help push, but how? You are not hejo.”
While grimacing with pain, Dewi no doubt laughed also heard her husband's babbling. The sisters, midwives and doctors of Citra who were with them also could not help but smile at hearing it.
“We have scissors yes, ma'am. Pity his son if too long inside,” break up doctor Citra.
“Digissorted doc? Not using grass clippers, right?”
PLAQUES
“Aduh, dear sick,” Aditya rubbed his arm that hit the Goddess.
CRICK
There was a sound of flesh being scissored as Citra opened the wider birth canal for the baby in the belly of the Goddess. Aditya guides the Goddess to take a breath. And when the contractions occur, the woman tries her hardest to push the baby out. The first attempt failed. The goddess took a breath several times, then with the remnants of her strength she strained, and
OEK
OEK
OEK
The body of the Goddess drooped after the child she contained for nine months successfully removed safely. Aditya immediately thanked the Almighty. Not forgetting he gave a kiss on his wife's face.
“Still, darling. Thank God our child has been born.”
The nurse immediately brought the tiny baby to be cleaned and weighed. Doctor Citra asked the midwife to clean the remaining blood attached to the womb of the Goddess and sew it. The sister brought the tiny baby in her hands to Aditya to be deceived.
“Please sir, diadzani first.”
Aditya's hand trembled slightly as he received the tiny baby boy, his baby. He began to shout the Adhan in his son's right ear. After she had been adopted, she returned the child to the nun. Then the nurse put it on the chest of the Goddess for early initiation.
“Alhamdulillah baby mother and father born under normal circumstances without any shortage. Weighing 3 kg and length 48 cm.”
“Alhamdulillah,” Aditya rubbed face with both hands.
His eyes then looked at the child who was sipping the source of his life. The goddess gently rubbed the top of her son's head. She is now a perfect woman, with the presence of her first child.
“Who is our son's name, mas?”
“Muhammad Arkhan Bramasta.”
“Good name.”
The Goddess' smile expands. The pain was treated already seeing his healthy baby and still above his chest. Aditya stroked the top of the child's head. His happiness cannot be expressed in words. He now officially holds the status of a father.

Congratulations, Dewi & Adit, you are already parents🤗
