The atmosphere was quiet, deserted. Vishnu felt today was very different from his usual day. The road that passed him almost no one else passed by. The drizzling rain began to hit again, the circles hit the car glass.
“Thank you have a car, son,” Halimah told the ghost.
“Why, Mom?” tanya Vishnu is still focused on driving with trembling hands worried about Almira who continues to catch her breath.
“Sometimes if you can't wait for a car chartered, people who want to give birth just ride a motorbike,” said Halimah slowly.
“Alhamdulillah, Mom. This sustenance of Vishnu and Almira,” reply Vishnu was given a nod of Halimah gratefully.
Halima never forgets to offer infinite gratitude. Seeing Almira live her life well and seeing how her husband treated her affectionately made her very happy. He never asked his children to get rich, but only sincere men loved. He was very curious about the least Vishnu story about his family so far.
“Remove, Son. There will be a plaque of Midwife Hesti Yuliana.”
“Iya, Mum.”
The car they were riding in was now parked in front of the practice house by the midwife of Nesti. Looks neat and clean. Vishnu who had bad thoughts could now breathe more freely. The place wasn't as scary as he thought.
“Come, help you get down,” invite Vishnu now open the door.
“I can still walk,” replied Almira looks grimacing with pain.
“No, fat mas, still strong,” reject it still forces Almira to comply.
“Wear wheelchair only, Mas. Embarrassed,” whispered Almira hugging the neck of the husband who was preparing to carry her.
“Why shy?”
“My weight went up twenty-three kilos,” she whispered laughing.
“Still think of it?” vishnu's murmur was given the naughtiness of Almira.
Vishnu finally relented, Almira forced a walk to reach the terrace of the clinic where the midwife Hesti practiced after convincing him that he could.
A young woman immediately welcomed Almira and Vishnu after Halimah entered first to register.
“Please use a wheelchair, Mom,” the door is friendly.
“Thank you,” replied Vishnu took over the seat and sat Almira down slowly.
He now pushes the wheelchair that leads Almira into the glass-walled room. Inside there is a waiting chair contained in it a glass-walled room to register. Halima seemed to have been there, welcoming Almira after seeing her son in the room.
“Please go into the room over there, we will check first as the midwife Westi prepares,” she said the young midwife pointed the way.
Vishnu followed the young midwife into the room. The room looked clean, though not too big. Almira was asked to move to the patient's bed to be examined.
“Please come out for a moment, huh? I'll check Almira's mother first to make sure.”
“I can't stay here?” ask Vishnu to object.
“Sorry, Sir. The procedure is like that. Wait a minute later can enter again after I finish checking,” said the woman understandingly.
“Mas Inu out first, yes?” pamit Vishnu soft.
“Iya, Mas,” replied Almira nodded.
Vishnu came out of the room. Staring softly at her in-laws who were now lowered in the waiting chair while muttering. He was sure, said a sincere prayer for his eldest daughter who is now in the examination room.
Vishnu also stared, listening to the conversation that came from within the space. There were also questions Almira said about the state of the baby in the womb.
Vishnu slumped, crouching on the floor with his hands rubbing his face. He is now in deep anxiety. He was very afraid of Almira. But he is not used to doing anything.
“Shalat dawn first, Le. Let mom take care of her. Ask Allah for the smoothness of Almira to give birth to your child,” said Halimah gently as she rubbed the shoulders of her daughter-in-law who was sitting limp.
“Iya, Ma'am,” replied Vishnu turned his head.
“Tuh, there's mushala. Mother was already,” Light Halimah now straightened her body and began to stay away from Vishnu and walk to the door, she stood there.
Vishnu performed the dawn prayer. Deliberately remained there for half an hour to calm his now turbulent stomach. His body feels very uncomfortable. In addition to lack of sleep last night, now even nausea and heartburn melanya.
“Astagfirullah." Vishnu closed his eyes as he headed outside the mushala. His head is so dizzy.
”Father is okay?“ asked a man also finished praying to him.
”Nothing, Sir. Just a bit nauseous,“ he replied forcing a smile.
”Sit down first, Sir.“
Vishnu just nodded and stepped back towards the room his wife was in. His steps are now faster, forcing him to himself amid nausea, anxiety, and achy back. He was very upset about his situation. When his wife was struggling to bear the fruits of his love, why suddenly he was not even in a good state like a real man.
When looking at Almira who is now sitting while closing her eyes with sweat soaking her forehead brings pain to Vishnu. He wanted to cry and embrace his wife. The voice of Istighfar was heard more often than just a complaint.
”Ira,“ whispered Vishnu grabbed here the wife.
”Mas,“ call Almira open her pretty eyes.
”Mas auxiliary what? Mas confused, how to -“
”Doain his dedek healthy, yes, Mas. Ira is okay,“ lirih Almira said.
”Are we moving hospital only?“ tanya Vishnu now gently rubbed the stomach of Almira which had slumped far down.
”No, we trust all the same Midwife and God, yes,“ said Hana with a breath back sting.
Vishnu could even feel the strength of Almira while holding his fingers. The grumbling teeth escaped from Almira's lips.
”Mas, astagfirullah.“
”Yes Allah, Ira.“ Vishnu's lips twitched. He could no longer see the suffering of his wife. I don't know what could relieve his feelings.
”Ighfar, Vishnu. Istighfar Almira's. The path of life of all human children is like this. The process is not easy, but heaven has been promised by God. This is the process of worshiping a woman to God as well as serving a wife to her husband. On this occasion, I beg you Vishnu .. after knowing the life gamble to give birth to your child. Take care and love this mother's child like she dedicated her life to you yes, Le,“ said Halimah while wiping her forehead with a jarit cloth to remove sweat droplets.
”White, Ma'am,“ sahut Vishnu with teary eyes. He promised in his heart that he would take care of his wife with his life. Now the feeling of not being able to bear the old pain process that hit Almira has not ended.
”Call midwife, Nak!“ halimah orders when she sees Almira breaking her body. Tilting his body with his eyes closed and teeth bluffing.
”Mas, Inu .. pain. Astagfirullah!"
“How is it, Bu?” vishnu asked confusedly as his wife let go of his hand.
“Call Midwife, Ira is contracting,” pinta Halimah is now reaching for her son's hand in place of Vishnu.
“Nggih, Bu.”
Vishnu immediately ran away from Almira's room and walked towards the midwife's room across the street. Two women were talking while working on the file.
“Oh, yes, Sir.” One of them immediately followed Vishnu's steps by using rubber gloves.
“Contact Bu Hesti!” ask the woman to one of her colleagues.
The midwife immediately entered the room with Vishnu. Almira is in the same position. Curled to the left with a restless face withstands pain.
“Bu Almira, let me check,” said the midwife touched Almira's stomach.
“Laying, yes. I check first.” The midwife began to lay her hands on Almira's stomach.
“I check the opening first, yes?” he said asking permission.
Almira shakes away the shame. He even had half his life to endure the pain that spread every contraction that periodically comes and goes.
“How, Mbak Ani?” ask a woman to enter the room.
“It's ready, Mom. The opening is eight, enter the pelvis, the position of the baby is good, amniotic fluid is ok, just stay waiting,” replied Midwife Ani staring at midwife Hesti.
“Good, prepare everything." The midwife looked at Ani's midwife then turned to look at Almira, "This is the first labor, huh, Bu?” hesti was immediately given a nod to Almira.
“Nothing. Don't be tense, yeah. Relax let the birth canal also relax. Take a deep breath and exhale. Take a breath from the nose, exhale slowly from the mouth yes .. well, really so.”
Hesti and Ani's midwife started to prepare everything. Assisted by two assistant midwives who prepare the completeness of the baby.
“Thirty-nine weeks' worth, yes?” tanya Hesti talked to Almira.
“Iya ...” replied Almira with a gasp of breath.
“Bu Ani, it looks like it is ready,” said Nesti already in his position.
“Ahh! Astagfirullah .. hhhh!”
“Come, Father and Mother please wait outside, yes. Let us who will take care of Ms. Almira,” pinta one of the assistants grabbed the hands of Halimah and Vishnu to be willing to come out of the delivery room.
Vishnu did not protest much, he came out of the room immediately sitting crouching on the outer wall with a reddened face holding back his cries.
“Almira, you must be strong,” whispered softly.
Vishnu can only listen to the instructions of the midwife of Hesti from the outside. Hearing the groans of Almira who repeatedly failed and had to repeat from the beginning of the pushing process makes it as if the man the cause of the wife had to go through the pain.
“Sorry, Ra. I can't wait for you inside. Mas will not forget this moment for life, until death, the inner” of Vishnu covered his face with arms. He slapped his face. "O Allah, grant strength and salvation to my wife and children,“ murmured Vishnu drowned in prayer.
”Come, the spirit of Bu Almira. Look at that his hair is visible. A little more, huh? Dedek can not wait 'tuh want to be hugged Mother ... Yuk, set it again, yes,“ midwife instructions Hesti gives a boost. Almira began to fatigue, contractions that arise sinking make the power began to drain out.
”Hhh!! Bu!“ almira exclaimed as she tried to hold on to the edge of the bed, but the assistant midwife immediately led her to hold on to her own knees.
”Come on, once again, great Mom Ira! This looks like it ... Just as there is a contraction pressure come the mother takes a deep breath, ayooo strong thrust. Ayoo added again, his head is not lifted.“ Unceasingly the midwife of Hesti and the midwife of Ani gave a cue.
”Hhhhhhhh!!“ erang Almira pushed with the remnants of his existing power.
”Good, keep ... push again and don't lift her hips!“
”Emmm hhhh!!“
”Good, let's push on Great Mom!“ exclaims Hesti gave his spirit with patience.
”Oe ... Oe ... Oe ..“
”Alhamdulillah!“
Everyone in the room gave thanks full of relief.
”The baby is healthy. Girls yes, Mom.“
”Alhamdulillah,“ welcome Almira to look at the baby who has now been brought closer to her after being examined first.
”IMD, yes, Mom. While we cleaned out Bu Almira,“ said the assistant midwife now put the reddish body of the newborn baby on top of the chest of Almira.
The midwife immediately covers the bottom of the blanket of Almira as they clean the remaining blood and dirt carried in the process of delivery.
”Call her husband, Bu.“ Hesti looked at the other assistant to call Vishnu.
”Good, Bu.“
Almira stroked her baby's wet hair gently. Let the princess find her source of life. The door that opened from the outside made Almira look up, Vishnu walked slowly with wet eyes. She did not even think her husband was crying. This might even be the first time he had seen her in such a state.
”Thank you, Almira. You are still by my side,“ he said kissed the wife's forehead. He even threw away the shame, not caring even when it was possible that the four midwives inside were now looking at him.
”I'm worried, it feels like I'm following you to death,“ whispered sobbing.
”No, Ira is fine, Mom. This ... Our baby girl, it's okay, yes?“ almira patted Vishnu's back justifying his head in the recess of his neck, next to the baby who was beginning to get his source of life for the first time. Sucking gently until Almira feels her baby is very agile and intelligent.
”Alhamdulillah,“ said Vishnu rubbed his face, with still with a bent body he also grabbed the fingers of his son.
”Adzani first, Mas,“ whispered Almira immediately given the nod of Vishnu's head.
”And give a good name to our child. No need complicated, but simple full do'a,“ pinta Almira looks into the eyes of her daughter who is now able to open. He was so stunned that the pain of thirteen hours since yesterday has now paid off and is extraordinary from God.
”Name of Sekar Inurra Tama.“
”Good, Ira likes,“ says Almira smiled.
”Thank you, dear,“ whispered Vishnu again kissed Almira's forehead after finishing the accusation and gave the name of his little daughter.
”Dark, healthy, yes, son. I am proud to have you both,“ said Vishnu gratefully.

I will never let go of your mother's fingers until death do you part and will never let go of your fingers other than the man who will take care of you as sincerely as we were your parents.
