The Exchanged Princess

remembering the past (1)

Happy reading ....

Adisurya was stunned for a moment. Rianti's face looks riled up waiting for his answer.

The man dropped his bag at random, then stepped closer to his wife. The embrace of Rianti who was looking at him with a quivering bead.

"Mas .... Who is Nisa, Mas?" Rianti repeated his question.

"Annisa .. she's our daughter, Rianti," Adisurya said softly.

"W-what? Mas, you don't make it up." Rianti pushed the body of her husband who was still holding her.

Adisurya did not let go of her embrace. He did not want Rianti to reject the truth that exists today.

"Listen to Mas, Rianti."

"No. Not going, Mas. Release him! Our daughter is Dita." She said while trying to escape from Adisurya's embrace, then turned her back to her husband about to step outside the room.

"He's the deformed baby you gave birth to that day." Adisurya's sentence immediately stopped Rianti's steps.

Adisurya looked at the back of his wife who was sculpting. The man hugged his wife again. Rianti forced off the circular Adisurya hand link on her waist.

"She's our daughter, Rianti. Annisa's our daughter." Rianti fell silent, feeling her husband's body tremble and sob on his back.

Adisurya cried for quite a long time, as if that cry all this time he held. Grim crying for regretting something. Unknowingly, Rianti also shed tears. Seeing Adisurya who was always strong, now fragile and sickened.

"Mas, don't cry" said Rianti, wiping his own tears.

"I'm ashamed, Rianti. I'm ashamed of myself. I've failed to be a father to Nisa."

For the umpteenth time, Rianti wiped her tears. He could not see Adisurya like that.

Rianti turned her body, wiping the tears on her husband's face. Adisurya looked at Rianti's face. Hope Rianti will listen to their daughter's story.

The flashback

15 Years ago ....

Adisurya waited with a thumping feeling outside the delivery room. Inside, his wife was struggling to give birth to her second child normally.

Soon Rika approached her and asked, "Has Rianti given birth?"

"Yet, Rika. It's been almost an hour, should I have the doctor perform a cesarean section?"

"The doctor definitely knows what's best for Rianti. Sorry Adi, I can't take long. I must accompany my sister who also gave birth today." His word.

"Your sister? Wh who? There is no way Rida," asked Adisurya. Due to her fate, Rida has not been out of High School for long and Rika has no other sister besides her.

Rika was downcast, hiding her shame. In a soft voice, he replied, "Yes, Rida."

Adisurya had not had time to ask further, the obstetrician who handled the delivery of Rianti came out. Adisurya immediately approached and felt strange to see the doctor's sad expression.

"How's my wife and son doing, Doc?"

"Sir Adi, can we talk in my room for a second?"

With anxious feelings, Adisurya followed the doctor's steps. He also took the time to turn to Rika who gave him a confused look.

"Please sit down, Mr. Adi."

"Thank you, Doc. What about my wife's condition?" Adi who was starting to feel anxious wanted to immediately find out what happened.

"I'm sorry before, did the doctor who routinely checked Bu Rianti's contents ever say anything?"

"Looks I don't. Because I myself always accompany my wife to check the contents, Doc. What's wrong?" Adisurya is getting anxious. The doctors they regularly visit are on leave and Rianti's delivery is also one week ahead of expected.

"What?" Instantly Adisurya felt the ceiling above him collapse upon him. Limp, his heart was completely limp. To the extent that the doctor's explanation was no longer able to hear.

With a gontai step, Adisurya returned to the delivery room. But according to a nurse, Rianti has been moved to his room.

Adi hurried to follow. His steps came to a halt at the door as Rianti screamed hysterically.

Quickly Adisurya opened the door and approached. Rianti half ran over and hugged her. His wife did not seem to care about her own condition.

"Mas, where's our son? Why do they say it's our son? Rianti's scared, Mas. He's not our son, is he?"

Adisurya looked at the pale face and confused his wife. Rianti's tears broke without him being able to wipe them.

"Darling ...."

"No, Mas. That's not my son. No, keep him away from me, Mom! Go you guys, go!" The screech.

The nurses stared at each other. They were confused because the tiny baby was supposed to be suckling.

The condition of the baby makes it difficult to suckle from a milk bottle. That is why, the nurse asked Adisurya to persuade Rianti to want to breastfeed. Although it is not easy for the baby, at least breast milk will be better even if only a few will enter his mouth.

Adisurya is faced with difficult choices. In the cot, the tiny baby started whining because it was hungry. Meanwhile on Rianti's bed, the woman covered her ears with a frightened facial expression.

Adisurya approached Rianti who shook his head. His face that was reckless made Adisurya feel unbearable to ask.

"Darling, try it first." Soft talk.

Rianti again hiateris. The imfusan needle was forced off and thrown. The doctor and several nurses came in, trying to calm him down.

When forced, the doctor gave him a sedative. According to doctors, Rianti's condition is no longer the baby blues in general, but already a symptom of depression.

Rianti is very happy when he knows the fetus in the womb is female. Not only preparing baby girl supplies are all expensive, even Rianti has prepared a name for the baby.

Rianti was impatient to see the cute little face of her baby. And right now, when Rianti saw the imperfect condition of her baby, she was very disappointed.

In front of the room, Adisurya repeatedly rubbed his face rough. The sound of someone's footsteps forced him to turn his head and slowly throw his breath away.

"Adi, how's Rianti doing?"

"You see for yourself, Rika. I'm confused what to do."

Rika looked inside. Rianti is still under the influence of sedatives.

"I'm sorry about your daughter's condition. Rianti must have been hit hard."

"so. What about Rida?"

"Rida's in her room. She gave birth to a very funny daughter. But I think I'm going to the orphanage. I can't let my mom down, Adi. You know, don't you, I have a history of heart disease? All this time, I covered up Rida on the grounds of going to college outside the city. But lately, my mother asked Rida to come with us. It's impossible to raise that baby with an unmarried Rida." Tuturannya.

Adisurya then stepped into the NICU room (neonatal intensive care unit). From the outside he looked at his baby who was moving the coconut like he was looking for milk p*ting.

I want it to feel like she's crying. Her little red baby was hungry, but she could do nothing. The nurse also said that the baby often chokes because of the condition.

Adisurya approached her baby. His eyeballs are round, with pliable lashes. The baby must be very beautiful if it is born perfect.

Adisurya remembered Rika's speech regarding Rida's daughter. Somehow Rianti's shadow that showed symptoms of depression, made him start thinking about the way out. Adisurya wants to make sure the woman he loves is okay.
