Archie just finished washing his face, brushing his teeth and tidying up a little of his appearance that looks quite unfresh, how not, he no longer sleeps after yesterday Ceyasa woke up, he had to accompany his wife until Ceyasa fell asleep again in her new nursery.
Archie immediately came out of the bathroom, afraid that Ceyasa would wake up and see that she was not by her side, as she walked out and looked towards Ceyasa, he found his two in-laws there, Jofan and Aurora throwing a stiff smile that also returned a sober smile from Archie.
"How is he doing?" ask Jofan to Archie.
"The doctor said he was improving rapidly, the morning he woke up and the doctor said to move him here, we are just waiting for the wound to heal" Archie explained to his parents-in-law, however, they were also very worried about Ceyasa.
"It's good" said Jofan again looking at his daughter's face that looked still quite pale, but seemed to have improved considerably from yesterday.
"What about your baby?" aurora asked softly who stroked her son's hand.
"Doctors say the situation is not stable, but it can be seen if you want to, see it from outside the NICU" said Archie.
"Have you seen it?" ask Aurora again.
Archie shook his head, not that he didn't want to see his son, but that Archie didn't want to make his feelings worse, Archie was sure that he saw him now, he will be more difficult to accept it if something happens that is not desirable, then he decided not to see his son without Ceyasa, he will only see his son when Ceyasa is there.
Jofan and Aurora who saw it only frowned, throwing their eyes at each other, but did not want to ask why? surely Archie has his own reasons for not seeing his son now.
"Can we see it too?" Aurora.
"Yes" said Archie.
"Is he a boy or a girl?" jofan asked, not wanting to drag on the sadness of thinking about his grandson who was still struggling.
"As for Ceyasa's wishes, we have a little prince," said Archie smiling faintly at the sleeping Ceyasa.
"really? it's going to be very handsome, I want to see it now" said Aurora happily, her first granddaughter a baby boy.
"Well, we'll see it now, please call me if Ceyasa is conscious" Jofan said.
"Well Dad," said Archie again, only a faint smile on his face.
Jofan and Aurora immediately walked out of the room, Archie once again looked towards Ceyasa, the woman still calm in her sleep.
---***---
Archie helps Ceyasa to sit in her wheelchair, after convincing the doctor that she is fine, Ceyasa is finally allowed to see her son.
"Is anyone sick?" said Archie worried, but could not prohibit his wife, once getting approval from the doctor, the sweet smile was seen on the face of Ceyasa, Archie could not remove it.
"No, no, I've been taking my anti-pain medication" said Ceyasa who sat quietly in his wheelchair, but he was quite dizzy and also his stomach felt very tight, he was quite scared, but Ceyasa is eager to see her son, her son must be very afraid to be alone there, although Ceyasa believes he does not understand about it.
Archie slowly pushes Ceyasa towards the NICU, the doctor and nurse standby are behind him, as well as Jofan and Aurora, can only follow Ceyasa who is already very determined to see her baby.
Ceyasa tried her hardest to be able to survive sitting in that wheelchair, trying to be as comfortable as possible, the pain began to feel, but Ceyasa did not want to show it, she wanted to see the state of her Prince.
The door of the NICU opened, revealing a cold passageway, and Ceyasa could see Jared and Suri who were there.
"Fuckin' ceyasa?" suri said in shock, not expecting Ceyasa to come there now.
"Yes, he insisted on seeing the baby" Archie complained, not that he did not love his wife, but anyone who saw how Ceyasa begged to see her son would not have the heart to say no.
"Yes, she's there" said Jared, knowing full well, a mother's instincts must have pushed Ceyasa into doing this.
Archie pushed Ceyasa deeper, heading towards the glass room to see their child, Archie did not know which one was their baby, because inside there was not only 1 baby.
"The prince was in the middle of it," said the doctor smiling, Ceyasa speechless, her eyes fixed on the tiny baby whose body looked small among the others, on her chest was a monitoring device, in his nose stuck in an oxygen hose that even looks bigger than him, his son seems to be asleep, or maybe he is not moving.
Ceyasa scrunched her face but the maternal smile of her seemed to expand, haru but also mixed with sadness, her eyes slowly blurred when she wanted to see clearly the little face of her child, unfortunately she could not, she could not, pretty far away they are.
Ceyasa held the glass barrier, coldly exposed to her palm, she leaned her body as if forgetting the stitches on her stomach that were still wet.
"Good afternoon Your Majesty the King, Her Majesty the Queen," the voice of a woman broke the silence of the atmosphere, Ceyasa instantly turned her face away, staring towards the specially dressed lady
"This is doctor Evelin, the pediatrician who is handling the prince now," said the doctor who handles Ceyasa, whose view is still blurred just nodded in understanding.
"Do you want to see your baby closer" asked Doctor Evelin who glanced at the prince's incubator.
"Can?" asked Ceyasa in disbelief.
"I allow it, the Prince must also be very eager to meet his mother and father," said the doctor smiling, making Ceyasa's hopeful smile expand, she wiped away her tears hard, it was a pleasure to feel, it was so good, he's really gonna see his son.
Archie was a little surprised to hear it, still can not believe allowed to enter, Ceyasa who turned her face towards him seemed so happy, immediately made Archie was excited.
"Send my regards to her, tell her that her grandparents love her so much" Jofan said, patting Archie on the shoulder.
Archie just nodded listening to her in-laws' messages, Evelin's doctor came in and immediately opened the NICU's door from the inside, Archie pushed slowly the impatient-looking Ceyasa wheelchair, before they got close, Archie said, doctor Evelin told them what to do first before entering the room.
Ceyasa's heart was beating so hard, she had never met her child, yet her nervousness was the same as it used to face Archie, there was a sense of excitement that somehow to express it, the closer they got, the more excited she was, the more excited she was, it was like a butterfly in his stomach wanted to scatter out.
Ceyasa stopped right in front of her son, Archie clasped Ceyasa's hands looking at their baby, their baby looked small, her skin looked wrinkled, her hair was still thin, just silent with all her life aids, she said, Ceyasa was a little sliced, seeing that her little child had to receive an infusion, a small oxygen hose adorned her nose.
"The state of the prince until now has not progressed and fortunately there are no setbacks, so I think he is waiting for his parents to see him," doctor Evelin said it was a little difficult to hear because of the mask he had to wear, "Please you can touch it," Doctor Evelin said again, he said that after making sure Ceyasa washed his hands according to his protocol.
"Can?" asked Ceyasa hesitatingly.
"Please" said the doctor, smiling from his narrowed eyes.
Ceyasa hesitantly put her hand into the warm incubator, she touched the hand of her little child, very small and tiny, so touched it Ceyasa did not even believe, this is the hand of her son, this is her, his son who for 7 months he was born, his tears flowed back, he looked towards Archie who just looked at Ceyasa sad.
"I'll excuse you first" said Dr. Evelin, who knows for sure that the new parents want to have intimate time with their children.
"Hey, baby, it's mama," said Ceyasa stuck, not knowing whether her son understood it or not, "sorry mama has made you have to go out faster and also experience this, but believe me, you know, mama and papa loved you so much before even seeing you," Ceyasa's voice sounded soft and soft, inexplicably making Archie touched, he's been so sensitive lately. Archie pinched his nose, trying not to cry anymore.
"Evan Xander, mama and papa gave you the name Evan, which means a gift from God, and you are indeed the greatest gift that mom and dad got, you are everything to us now," ceyasa said with a slight smile, she leaned her body again, her wounds were attracted but she did not care, "Xander is a helper and brave, because mama knows you are so brave and strong in living it, Xander even dared to be here alone without his mom and dad yesterday, Xander is a very strong boy," Ceyasa said again, his voice trembling but feeling warm and motherly, a trait that just comes out of it.
Ceyasa was silent for a moment, stroking the four fingers of her son who was now in her hands, the tiny hands were like powerless, wanting her to kiss him, but what their power was still blocked by the glass that surrounded her child.
Ceyasa was only silent, no longer speechless, staring in silence as if he wanted to remember the face of his son fixedly, he was sure a minute later he left Xander, he must have missed him very much.
Archie who was behind Ceyasa just saw it, also looked at his son's face, he had already felt so in love with the little creature in front of him.
Ceyasa continued to gently rub Xander's tiny fingers, enjoying as much of their time as possible, although the pain was not a hindrance, she wanted as long as possible to hold the baby's hand.
Ceyasa was suddenly startled, the tiny hand clasped her finger firmly, Ceyasa was almost in disbelief, she glanced towards Archie, was she just hallucinating?
Archie who saw that also could only be silent, his eyes widened in disbelief, he looked at the eyes of Ceyasa who was surprised but also happy, the eyes of Ceyasa had returned again.
Shortly as Xander clasped his mother's hand, he wriggled, as if distracted by Ceyasa's touch, he soon burst into tears, the sound of the small cry immediately leaving Ceyasa and Archie confused but also haru, who was left with a sense of urgency, this was the first time they heard the sound of their baby crying, her eyes were still narrow open slightly, Ceyasa sumringah saw it, if she did not remember her weak body, she would have jumped up wanting to see her child closer.
"Doctor, she's crying" said Ceyasa, afraid that her child might feel pain or something, but happy to listen to her even if it's just a small cry.
Doctor Evelin came, using a small stethoscope he immediately examined Xander's body, Ceyasa did not release the grip of Xander's finger, but only saw Xander who was crying continuously.
"Is he okay?" asked Archie who was wondering why Xander was crying, was there any pain he felt?
"Is the grip strong?" ask Doctor Evelin.
"Yes, he was grasping very firmly," said Ceyasa.
"He really lives up to his name, a gift from a very brave and strong God, this is a good sign, from yesterday he did not cry, it turns out he only needed his parents, he just needed his parents, The prince is fine," said Doctor Evelin who looked bright behind his mask.
Ceyasa heard that smiling so happily, she let go of her lethargic breath, Archie who of course also felt elated immediately grasped Ceyasa's hand tighter. Thank God for giving a second chance for his family to reunite together, Archie said in his heart.
