"Sweety... How is it?"
"The growth so far is good, the weight and length are appropriate, all good said the doctor..."
"What are you, baby? Healthy right?"
"Yes, but I'm not going far. My legs are swollen..."
"That's okay? Where.. I see your feet..."
Ben was immediately worried as Keke showed both of his legs, Keke's white skin color clearly exposing the changes in the legs that looked a bit reddish, a little red, as well as the fingers and backs of the soles of the feet that expand rounded far from usual.
"The word doctor only reduces salty-salty just as much as stop drinking coffee..."
"Reduce the activity that makes you tired yes dear yes.same always be careful on the stairs yes, if not need not go down..."
"Yes..."
Keke's face was again plastered on the phone screen.
In Ben's heart was actually concerned with Keke being pregnant the more he left, unlike other husbands who could serve his wife during pregnancy, he never experienced the hassle of realizing the cravings of the wife.
"Getting fat or swollen too?"
Ben is still worried.
"Both may be.. Am I ugly?"
Keke smiled wryly.
"Hahaha..tetep pretty really. but dimples I disappeared like..."
"What the hell... So you go home, right Nyo?"
"This time I can't..."
Keke was silent for a moment.
Old new Keke can agree with Ben about the choice of Ben keep his job so that in the end they are more often separated than the same and Keke began to get used to not demanding, he said, but this time he wants Ben home.
"Yinya... Inge same brother Lody wants to marry..."
"Last time I was deliberately on leave, knowing their marriage was pushed back..."
"They have to do that, have to adjust to Old Mama Irene and Old Papa Raf, they come home to Indonesia is not as easy as Inyo came home from Manokwari right..."
"I know, but I also can't take time off, I plan to leave later when you give birth..."
"But... Inge loh who oversaw our marriage once, while now I can't help anything because of my condition, Inge just asked us to attend the wedding..."
"I'll talk to Inge and Lody. Please understand this..."
"..."
He just wanted to do something Inge asked, he couldn't do anything to repay Inge for their marriage. There is disappointment that infiltrates the heart of this pregnant woman. Usually if something doesn't fit his mind or something he can't accept could be an explosive axis to express emotions, these days Keke is more relented to Ben, Ben, if you do not agree now Keke choose silence.
"Sweety... Why silence?"
"..."
"Mirror..."
"No papa, I'm sleepy, but don't forget to explain to Inge yes if Inyo can't be present later..."
"Yes, take good care of both of us, you are also sweety..."
"Yes..."

In a room in this mother and child hospital, Papa Ramly was so anxious to see the state of his only child who suffered so much. Lying with anxiety and pain. All is not comfortable for Keke now, walking uncomfortable as well as sitting and lying down.
Since yesterday around six in the morning they have been in the hospital where recommended by doctors who handle Keke since the beginning of pregnancy. Keke's been in pain since yesterday morning but the opening hasn't increased. Finally Keke undergo the induction process, the decision of the doctor after no development until this afternoon. Sometimes the heartburn comes but after it like there are no signs to give birth when it should be time to give birth, the gestational age is sufficient.
And now after that process, Keke was in such great pain, mom and dad helped Keke stand up because Keke wanted to walk, when both his legs were about to climb on the floor, he was not strong. Finally Keke sat on the chair that Rommel had swiftly arranged for Keke. Keke hugged Virda's mother who was standing next to him.
"Sorry Ike ma... Ike... Ike much wrong... Ma... this is very sick ma.. sorryin Ike.. sakiit ma..."
Keke stammered his words, grimacing and crying because of the pain he could not bear.
"Don't be like that, baby... Ike the good boy, Ike the filial son, do not talk like that, just pray let God send out the delivery..."
Keke cried, everyone cried.
"I called the doctor again, brother..."
Rommel could not bear to see Keke, he rushed outside looking for someone, at least the presence of a medical officer in the room could be more calming. Papa Ramly had been incessantly praying, and continued to wipe his son's back, tears coming out of Ramly's eyes
"Papa called Ben ya..."
Keke did not answer the more sad, she really hoped her husband was there now, she needed her husband.but she was helpless, bad weather in Manokwari made Ben's return hampered. It's the rainy season, let alone there, the weather in Manado is uncertain.
Papa Ramly hasn't made a call yet, the phone has rung.
📱
"Ben...how, can it fly?"
"Udah in Makasar pa. profit plane to Manado delayed as well, so can still continue flights today. Hopefully 3 more hours in the hospital, this again waiting for boarding..."
"Thank God..."
"What is the meaning of pa..."
Papa pointed the phone at Keke, who was tired of holding back his pain.
"Sweety.. baby...."
The sad sight made Ben feel guilty not to hasten his return, even though he had the opportunity last week, but he postponed another day because of work and instead became days because of continuous rain.
"Pa.. call the doctor, pity me..."
Ben couldn't bear to look at Keke like that.
"Have been.. again called Rommel..."
"Darling.. I've almost arrived. spirit yes. little more adek our baby was born..."
"Udah. no... Nyo..."
The shrill and disjointed voice of Keke made Ben shed tears, being far away like this made Ben almost crazy only able to talk but can not touch, just looking sad can not do much. His hug must have been needed most by his wife. The tears changed from a drop to an unstoppable flow.
The doctor and a nurse entered the room, followed by Rommel.
"Dok, my son is tired, the pain is constant, he is also very weak..."
Papa Ramly said as he sobbed, the affection for his daughter made the fear of anxiety and pity mixed to make this half-century man unable to hold his emotions.
"Yes..we check first yes.help mom lie down..."
"Mels... Mel... don't turn it off!"
Ben yelled in frustration at the screen, not caring about the people in the waiting room with him.
"Yes sis..."
The green curtain surrounding the cage pulled the nurse, papa Ramly out of there.
"Mel.. Please deketin to Rens cell phone, I want to see him..."
"Pa.. Ben wanted to see Kak Kekenya..."
Papa Ramly picked up the phone and circled the outside of the green curtain-covered cage to the head where there was mama Virda calming Keke.
"Honey.. Get the phone, Ben wants to see Keke."
Papa Ramly said without opening the curtain. One hand of Virda's mom stuck out at the end of the curtain, then turned the phone against Keke's face.
"Sweety... I love you... I love you..."
That's all Ben can say. Keke only nodded weakly while closing his eyes.
"It's about time, we're going to get her mom down to the delivery room. pray that everything goes well..."
Relieving information is given by the doctor, although it has not been able to relieve pressure for all. Ben, who was listening, also shouted as if releasing pressure on himself.
"Ma.. don't turn it off. Yeah..."
"Yes Ben.yes..."
"Sweety... I love you..."
Nervous father candidates are also afraid of not having another sentence to say.
The doctor was out of the room waiting for Keke in the delivery room, the nurse had returned with another nurse to move Keke. When Keke arrived at the delivery room, the same time a boarding call was heard.
"Sweety, I'm getting on a plane right now, which is powerful huh. I love you both..."
The call was over, soon he would see not only his wife but also their baby, his own son. Adrenaline racing in the blood due to a collection of events several hours this makes Ben impatient to get on the plane. The long queue made himself stand agitated, let alone he stood at the very back because of the focus on his wife when the boarding call sounded.
Under these circumstances, Ben was fully aware of the severe consequences of a choice to keep his job. He has a promise of heart now for the wife he loves the most and for his son. And the choice is round. He takes his phone back, searches for a file he's been creating for a long time, and searches for a name in the green app, boss Nicolaas Hong and final decision, resign. He will take care of it formally later, now focus on the family first.
In his heart now, family is the first and foremost choice, about blessing, he must not worry, God has given him grace with the presence of a child, soon he will see it, God has given him grace, he also believes God certainly guarantees all things about the future of his son, the future of his family, there must always be a path of household blessing that will open up ahead there.

Two o'clock in the morning...
The papa was still amazed by the tiny replica of himself, wrapped in white cloth and a white hat, boy, had no name, yet, just pinned his mother's name on the green nameplate on the front side of the baby box. For half an hour he looked at his son who carried perfectly his genes in his little physique. The shape of the nose, eyes, and lips is exactly the same as the photo of him when the baby used to be. So is the shape of the toe that had been peeped in a moment ago.
Ben's cry colored the room earlier when Ben arrived, relieved to know Keke survived, the baby was also safe and healthy, had normal weight and length, complete all no defects. Keke was resting in his safe, so relieved that her husband could arrive safely.
After being satisfied to see the little creature of the Creator's miraculous gift to complete the happiness of his life, Ben cleansed himself and approached the cage. Keke opened his eyes.
"Hey..why don't you sleep, sweety...."
Sayings and kisses studded so much affection anchored again at Keke's head.
"I don't know why, I want to sleep, but I can't..."
"Are you asking the doctor?"
"So been asked to his nurse, he said it's okay, I'm all good condition anyway.he said the body reaction of each mother after giving birth is different..."
"Can shear a little?"
Keke moved his body slowly, as if there was no pain left after giving birth except in the stitches due to the addition of the door for the baby's adek, the pain was comparable to the happiness that came after finally being able to see the adak of her baby.
Ben went to lie next to Keke, hugged his wife gently, kissed some parts on her face.
"I'm so happy sweety, it all ends well, are we sleeping now? Let oma opa see the adek for a while because you need to sleep so that your body recovers quickly..."
Keke nodded in the husband's warm embrace, the hug I missed.
"Sweety..."
"Yes..."
"I've resigned..."
"Really?"
"Yes..."
"Seriously?"
"Yes..."
"Will not change?"
"Son, it's my heart..."
"Will not regret it?"
"Hahaha tumben many nanya... No, I won't regret it. You're my choice now..."
Ben's decision is getting stronger after seeing his son directly.
"This is the most beautiful gift for me after the baby.my desire when married is we are always together, Inyo know right... we're just looking for money here..."
Ben looked at Keke lovingly, his wife's wish was so simple, and he was willing to make that dream come true, like paying off the promise debt of that time, and it was a relief to be happy too.
"Yes, yes, I slept too..."
"I love you, Inyo..."
"Love you more, sweetie..."
