Aksa had gotten into the car, while Ayanda was in the front passenger seat. Riana Aksa's body dropped completely from her sling. Riana could not say anymore. Especially when her husband now comes, she is even in this condition.
"Ri, ta-kut," said Riana in a soft voice.
Whatever the week of his voice, it still sounded in the ears of the in-laws as well as his sister-in-law. Their hearts are torn to shreds.
Aksa answered nothing. She peed Riana's eyelids in turn. Buried Riana's face into her chest.
You're more scared, honey.
Aksa must be strong to face all this. She could not be fragile in front of Riana. However, Aska who occasionally stared from the windshield felt her heart was very sick. His brother's face was enduring the excruciating pain. Aska was able to sense that because Aksa could not lie to her.
At the hospital, Aksa is still carrying Riana's body to the IGD room. All the doctors in charge examined him and Aksa and Ayanda as well Aska could only wait outside.
"Bang, your shirt has blood" said Aska.
Aksa looked towards the shirt he was wearing. His heart ached at the sight of the blood on his front shirt. He could only be silent and bowed deeply.
Ayanda approached her son and gently rubbed Aksa's shoulders. He knew his son was harboring an already unbearable sadness.
"Take it out, Bang. Mommy knows you're not okay." Aksa immediately lowered his head in tears. Her chest shook indicating she was crying.
Aska who saw her brother like that, turned her body against the wall. He was unable to, Aksa's sadness could he feel as well. Aska tried to raise her head up to hold back the pace of her tears.
"This ... Salah Brother," he regretted.
Aska's tears just dripped hearing Aksa's words. The words that came out of Aksa's mouth were like the blows of a heavy object that hit his heart, very painful.
Ayanda could not speak. He could only gently rub the shoulders of the son. In a bowed position, Aksa felt a small hand wiping the tip of her eye.
"Don't be sad, Daddy. Tell me, I'm supposed to go."
A sentence that made Aksa stare towards the little girl who had come to his dream.
"Daddy has to be strong, so Mommy won't be sad anymore. Thank you for coming home and coming back with Mommy. It's time I left." The warm kiss the boy gave on Aksa's right cheek.
The voice of a woman wakes Aksa up from her grief. Aksa's eyes were red and her face looked frustrated. Echa immediately hugged Aksa's body.
"Don't think negatively first. I hope everything's okay." Aksa just nodded hearing the elder brother's words.
The three Echa children who joined also embraced Aksa's body. Then, Aleesa chose to slightly move away. He sat in the corner of the chair with a face full of sadness.
Not long after, the IGD doctor came out and asked the family from Riana. It was Akhir who approached the doctor.
"I'm her husband, Doc" said Aksa.
"Follow me in."
The hearts of everyone in front of the IGD were beating very fast. Radit, Rion and Gio have not arrived at the hospital. There are only Ayanda, Aska, Echa and the triplets.
Inside the room, his wife's face was puffy. The sadness is clear. Aksa clasped his wife's hand.
"Your wife has Vanishing twin syndrome" the doctor says.
"Vanishing twin syndrome is a condition when one of the twin fetuses disappears in the womb" he explained.
"Who-you mean?" aksa asked not to understand.
"One of your child candidates dies because the twin dominates. So, now that there is in the stomach of your wife there is only one fetus," said the doctor.
Like being struck by lightning Aksa's body right now. He looked at his wife who had shed his tears again and again. Aksa gently wiped Riana's tears and kissed her forehead.
The doctor moved from his seat. He repeated his USG back so that Aksa could see clearly.
"From the information I received from your wife, she often felt cramps in her stomach. Last time there was bleeding in her vagina. The results of the USG only show one point in there. Now, take a look" said the Doctor, who was staring at the monitor.
"There's only one point there" he added.
What he saw was the same as what the doctor said. "What caused it, doc? Is it because it's too stressful?" ask Aksa curiously. If, the answer is true he is the one to blame will lose one of his child candidates.
"No, sir," replied the doctor.
"In general, this condition occurs because of a chromosomal abnormality of one of the missing twins, improper attachment of the umbilical cord to the fetus. Where when the embryo is implanted in the womb of a pregnant woman and begins to develop, it is actually an abnormality that causes twins to disappear from the beginning of development not from a sudden event. However, a living fetus will show a healthy condition and develop well," he explained.
"Is there a risk for pregnant women and their twins?" ask Aksa again.
"Mr don't worry. If vanishing twin syndrome is detected in the first trimester of pregnancy, it is usually without any adverse effects and there is no specific treatment needed for the mother or the baby who survived. There may be side effects such as anxiety, anxiety and sadness because of the loss of one of the two prospective children. Hence, I suggest to always make your wife happy."
Aksa nodded in understanding. She looked towards Riana who was definitely shocked by what had happened to her womb.
"Honey, we're only allowed to have one child in this pregnancy. Let go of our dead child. There's still a twin growing in here." Aksa gently rubbed Riana's stomach.
"He needs us, he needs his Mommy. Of course she didn't want to see her Mommy grieve. Let us give up our dead son, yes. We keep the twin together and I promise you, you won't leave you again." Aksa hugged Riana's body so tightly. It is undeniable that this is a heavy thing for Riana. Not just for Riana, for Aksa as well. Aksa's tears were dripping at the end of her eyes.
"I'm sorry Daddy, son," he regretted in his heart.
Aksa exits the IGD room with Riana in a wheelchair. Everyone is approaching him. Radit, Gio, Rion and Arya are already there.
"How's it?" sergeant Gio and also Rion.
"Riana has vanishing twin syndrome. So ... one of the children in Riana's womb .. disappeared."
Echa and Rion immediately embraced Riana's body. So also with Ayanda who hugged Aksa's body. They were crying in the arms of their parents, while Aleesa was already looking down deeply.
Why should I be able to see something like this? Why is my vision always right?
"Jaga Mommy yes, Brother. If, I was born .. I'd trouble Mommy and Daddy. I'd better go, let my sister grow up there by herself. I'm sure my sister will be happy for Mommy and Daddy. Bye, Brother!"
Aleesa looked at the child from his aunty and uncle. He had already left with the white-robed man. There was a boy there as well who waved at Aleesa.
"Bye, Brother Sa!"
