SOULMATES

We both pray

"Mom.. We're going to the hospital. Doain yes ma'am. Ine was sick" Aa told her mother.

Then Aa told Linda.

The car was driven by Mr. Min. Aa stays faithful beside me. Sometimes, I unconsciously squeezed his hand, for enduring the pain.

"Assalamu'alaikum, doc. Yes doc. I'm heading to the hospital. Help deliver my wife, yes doc. Yes doc.. Thank you, Assalamu'alaikum" Aa hung up on Joseph's doctor, and hugged me.

"Patience, baby, in a moment. Come, Mr. Min, find a road that doesn't get stuck." he ordered.

Alka, who was sitting on my seat, Min, looked back and forth at me.

"Mama... No cry. Mama must be strong.. Alka will be waiting for mama" said my son, I never thought he with the age of 5 years, could talk like that.

"Yes darling. Doaka mama ya son" said Aa.

I'm just smiling

His mouth did not stop calling God's asthma. He told me to keep calling on the name of God. While stroking my stomach, he tried to calm me down.

"Yes mbak.. Yopi's on his way to the hospital, yeah.. Yes, yes mbak.. Yes mbak.. See you at the hospital, ma'am" said Aa received a call.

"Mister Farah, dear."

he said, holding my hand.

When I felt sick, for some reason, Aa who was sweating a lot. It was as if he felt what I felt.

At 12pm, we arrived at the hospital. Aa takes care of the room and calls Joseph's doctor immediately. The whole family is in the care room.

"Mother and father pray for safety for Ine. Don't think of anything else." Mom kissed me.

"I'm sorry for Ineke's mistake, father, mother. Restui Ineke."

Mom and Dad hugged me. I know, they're holding back their cries.

"Fire.. "call me.

Papi approached, followed by Aa's family.

"Mafin Ineke, if not perfect to be a papi child, be the sister of mbak and brother all. Pray for Ineke"

"The fire is waiting for Ine at the delivery door, son. Papi and Mami are proud to have a daughter-in-law like Ine." said papi.

"Don't think about deck. We're here" they hugged me.

"Alka." call me.

"Yes ma. dear brother mama. Dedek.. brother wait for grandpa ya" then he hugged my stomach. I kissed and hugged my little Alka.

And finally, I was directed to the delivery room.

"Only the husband can enter. Family please wait outside" said the nurse who guards the delivery room.

I wave my hand. Mom waved her hand while hugging dad.

The midwife on duty that afternoon checked me out.

"How, ma?" ask Aa who is no less afraid of me who will fight.

"We wait for Doctor Yusuf, yes doc. soon he will be here" said midwife Siska.

"Darling... Aa here" that line that keeps sounding when I feel pain,

Shortly, Joseph's doctor came, and an examination was carried out.

"How, doc" asked Aa to Joseph's doctor.

"We are equal2 pray yes. Good luck and happy jbu and baby" he said.

"Complete opening. Come on Ine. take a breath.." she continued and the delivery happened.

"Ease all this, O Allah. Protect the servant's struggling wife" Her tears were unstoppable, as the baby's cries sounded.

"Alhamdulillah" said thanks from the father, mother, papi, and the whole family waiting outside the delivery room.

"Dok..bu Ineke was unconscious!!"
