On The Way

“Feeding bag don't take long, yes?” zain said, putting a large spoonful of seafood fried rice into his mouth.

“Zain can't do that,” reprimand Alvin who sits next to him. A steam of fried eggs succeeded Alvin put into the mouth, following the rice and other side dishes. “If you eat do not rush. Hurry is not good.”

Zain scowling. “Mas Alvin if you eat do not talk later sprains.”

“Lah? You're the same,” Alvin, don't want to lose. “Not polite know tell parents like that. ‘Kan, Zain has been told by Bu Guru if you have to respect older people.”

“Zain respectfully, kok.”

“Terus why tell Kakung to eat spit-cheap?”

“Zain didn't tell, Mas.” Zain's irritation was clearly on his lips. “Zain ask for help.”

“Oh, ask for help?” Alvin put the cutlery and folded his hands on his chest. “If you ask for help, kok, did not say ‘tolong’ earlier?”

Alvin and Zain's debate is funny to stop, but Edi feels that it's time he interfered. “Udah, already. Alvin, continue eating. Don't be too hard on Zain.” Edi turned his eyes to Zain. “Zain why rush? Eat it slowly.”

Zain shook his head. “Zain to Temenin Mamah, Kung. So should eat cepet-cepet.”

Edi gave a smile and explained that Zain could still accompany Safira despite eating slowly. However, Zain was really similar to Sapphira for his stubborn affairs. The boy could not be persuaded and eventually Edi had to try to buy time.

In addition to Alvin and Zain who did not fill the stomach while the lunch hour has passed, Edi invited his two grandchildren to eat at a restaurant outside the hospital area so that they did not have to feel the tension of the Safira delivery process. Although it looks like Alvin can quite follow the flow that Edi made, but another case with Zain.

The atmosphere of the retreat that began to be deserted by visitors made the sound of eating utensils that Alvin and Zain used to sound loud. It ignited Edi's nervousness as Safira's sweat-soaked face reflected back in memory.

“Father is fine?” sari asked as Edi's hand halted in the air while grasping the spoon.

Edi. Sari's delicate voice drew back her attention. While pulling both corners of her lips, trying to look fine even though the reality is not the case, Edi says that she is fine.

“Father thought Safira, yes?” whisky Sari. “After this you go back to the hospital with Alvin and Zain, then I go straight home aja.”

“Don't do that, you come to the hospital.”

Sari shook her head, put down the tableware and pushed away the empty plate before her. “Not good, Sir. One or two days later I look at Safira.”

Edi actually wanted to force it, but this time he chose to give up. His relationship with Sari itself is not easy and more sensitive when it comes to involving Sapphira in their midst. All Edi can do is let time do his job, whereas he just needs to try to be a good father to Sapphira.

Meanwhile, outside the delivery room, Ashqar was waiting for the preparation of Safira's delivery. I don't know what the medical team did to his wife, but clearly at this time he felt that his heart could come off and go down to the stomach.

After his arrival, Rahma and Harti come with Alvin who is still wearing school uniform. However, only ten minutes later Rahma resigned because she could not linger leaving work. Later, Edi and Sari.

Ashqar sat down restlessly. His body slouched as he linked his hands and squeezed them, his lips incessantly chanting a prayer for Sapphira and himself.

The shadow of Safira's sweaty agony face haunts Ashqar like a nightmare. He even continued to persuade Sapphira to do the surgery instead of having to endure the pain until the opening was perfect. But until before entering the delivery room, on the grounds of wanting to feel the birth normally, Safira continued to insist on rejecting Ashqar's persuasion.

“This, ‘kan, not the first nemenin wife lahiran. How, still tense?” said Harti, patting his youngest son's shoulder.
