The sound of the gurney wheel rang out loud on every road leading to the examination hall. The sound was getting faster, as was the speed of the heart of a man who looked worried in front of the patient. The man looked fragile when he saw his wife fall unconscious for no reason. Either because of shock, or because of another illness.
Before long the sound of the gurney stopped. The patient is then transferred to the examination site. There are anxious hopes from the look on the man's face. His lips continued to recite every holy verse of the Qur'an. He prayed that his wife be given health and safety.
While the doctor is examining the condition of the patient using the ultrasound device. The tool continues to revolve around the limbs that are still flat, namely the stomach.
Still continue to look for the cause of the patient fell unconscious, before long seen a bag in the patient's womb. A bag containing human life. The doctor pulled both corners of his lips, forming a knotty smile there.
"Congratulations, your wife is eight weeks pregnant" the doctor said. While the patient's husband was still stunned when he heard the information he had never expected. One year of marriage, never mentioned a baby. Never planned to be a parent. But God is very good to them. God gave them a trust that not everyone had.
"Pregnant doc?" ask the man with a trembling voice. He cried in his heart. Is this what it feels like to be a parent?
"Yes Mr. Akemi" replied the male doctor in a steady tone. Yes, she eventually conceived. How happy the woman would be to know that she would soon be a parent.
Akemi, whose consciousness was recovering, immediately stood up and entered the examination room. He wiped the curtains not far from where he was. The man's eyes returned full of tears. He never thought if God's love for him was so great.
Akemi holds Shella's warm hand. The woman was still unconscious. Soon Akemi kissed his wife's forehead long enough, as if she did not want to let go of the woman.
Feeling her forehead touched by a chewy object that causes her forehead to moist, Shella was finally awakened. He felt pain in his head, even nausea began to attack the beautiful-looking woman.
"Darling, are you conscious?" ask Akemi lovingly.
"I where?" shella replied in a raucous voice.
"We're in the examination room, baby," Akemi replied as she rubbed Shella's cheek. He did not get bored when he looked at the baby face of his wife.
"What are we doing in the examination room?" It seems that Shella has not remembered that she had fallen unconscious before. Shella wanted to get up from her bed. However, Akemi attempts to restrain the woman. However, Shella was already uncomfortable with lying down. Akemi finally relented and helped her to sit down.
"Darling, I have good news for you" Akemi said as she smiled her sweetest smile.
"What's wrong? just say it, don't play the riddle," Shella replied in a voice that began to rise. Suddenly, the woman's emotions began to stir. Maybe the pregnancy hormones are starting to feel.
"Calm down baby, don't put on a sullen face like that. You look ugly," teased Akemi as if to forget the condition of Ibrahim who had begun to be critical. Somehow the man. Whether he's alive or dead. Akemi still doesn't know the next news. He's too busy taking care of Shella, his beloved wife.
"Yes tell me," said Shella impatiently.
Before answering Shella's question, Akemi smiled at her horse, before the man said, "You are so sweet." Shella did not answer Akemi's words, she just kept quiet as if trying to spell every word of her husband.
"Hamidun? I don't know any of Akemi's hamidun, which I know is Halidun our next-door neighbor" Shella said, not knowing the meaning of Akemi's word. After all, why did Akemi also use the word playful? already know his wife is sometimes not up to his brain.
"Ah, I'm sorry, baby. I mean soon you'll be a mother. You are pregnant dear," said Akemi finally without using the word playlet again.
Shella was quite surprised by her husband's words. Getting pregnant? is she really pregnant? by when? why did she not feel the presence of her child in her body? was it because he was too busy taking care of Ibrahim to feel the presence of his own son?
"Pregnant," muttered Shella while stroking her flat stomach.
"Dear, you're pregnant" replied Akemi.
Hearing Akemi's words once again, Shella's cry broke. He can't control his mixed feelings.
"Dear, am I not pregnant? am I going to be a mother?" shella said with a trembling voice.
"Dear, we will be parents" Akemi replied. The man also shed tears when he saw his wife crying happily.
While the doctor who examined Shella was also happy from behind the curtain. The doctor was silent without a word. He only listens to Akemi and Shella's conversation as if he were the best listener.
***
In a different place, a middle-aged woman was crying and roaring. He stared at his silent son. His son is now helpless like an undead. Even his son's heartbeat started to decline. She kept saying the names, "Ella, Ella, Ella." Three times he mentioned the name of the woman who still ruled his heart to this day.
Ibrahim, yes Ibrahim is now only able to mention the name of Shella at the end of his tongue that began to numb. The man's hands had stiffened, while his eyes had started to become myopic.
Nisa could not hold back her tears. She was a mother who gave birth to a very healthy son. Even for daily food was awake like a prince. But why did the deadly bacteria enter and escape into her daughter's body? has he been negligent in taking care of his health?
"Ella, Ella, Ella" said Ibrahim. The man was unceasingly mentioning the name of Shella. Hearing the name of Shella mentioned, Nisa also finally went and looked for her nephew.
He continued to run down the hospital aisle that was almost filled with people. Nisa cries in her search. The middle-aged woman's heart was injured to no size. Either the wound had filled his entire body, and penetrated into his fragile soul.
Still looking, until Nisa arrived in a examination room. Shella and Akemi had just walked out of the room. Nisa immediately took hold of Shella's hand and said, "Abrahim is dying, he keeps saying your name."
Deg, man,
Nisa's sentence hit the entire body of Shella. It cannot be understood how scared the woman is. So did Akemi. The man was not much different from what Shella felt.
Shella walked quickly using the remnants of her strength. He seemed to have forgotten, that there was a human life taking place in his body right now.
The woman's heart started to rage. He felt a fear of overwhelming loss. Is Abraham really going to be gone forever? is that guy really not gonna hold on anymore? why did the miracle not stand with Abraham?
Then Shella said, "Don't forget to like and vote yes readers."
Happy reading.
To be continued.
