The Heart that Chose

Chapter 108 Syafina gives birth to baby Syakha

Syafina was already in the delivery room she was alone. Reyhan can't go in. He continued to cry silently but tears kept flowing on his cheeks. But now she was little by little able to accept the fact that her husband was gone. Giving birth without a husband who gives support is very heavy for Syafina.

"Fina, don't cry. This affects your fetus deck, try to calm down, set your breath and just rest in your heart" Midwife Anita advised.

"Yes sister, accompany Fina yes brother. Fina was afraid of being alone" Syafina wiped her tears with her finger.

"Yes, brother accompany you. She told a specialist, she said you could give birth normally."

"Alhamdulillah. Sis, please give me my phone to Rey, tell her to call my mom to tell me I'm giving birth"

Anita's midwife takes the phone from Syafina's hand and she goes out to give it to Reyhan. Then Reyhan called Shafina's mother to tell her about Syafina's current condition and the accident that happened to Khalid. Zaenab was shocked to hear that.

Reyhan walked back and forth, worried about the condition of Syafina and her baby. Just a few minutes ago Syafina was tested for the loss of her husband now Syafina has to be tested again by giving birth to a premature baby.

"Keep Shafina O Allah, have mercy on her" Reyhan prayed in his heart.

"How's Fina doing?" someone asked, Reyhan turned to Arsya.

"He's inside, maybe soon the baby will be born"

"I am sorry for the incident that happened to Syafina's husband, I did not expect so heavy trials Syafina. Pity him" said Arsya.

"May he be stoic, and strong to live it".

Arsya nodded in agreement to Reyhan, There was a voice of Syafina inside who moaned in pain Arsya and Reyhan so hold their breath to hear it, they then looked at each other. These two men want to accompany Syafina, at this time Syafina certainly needs to be strengthened. But the midwives did not allow the two of them to enter alongside Syafina.

An hour and a half had passed, Syafina felt the pain in her stomach and waist grow stronger

"A momentarily Fina, it had opened 8cm, the opening was very fast, it was due to her extremely strong pain. "

Syafina nodded her head in order to understand the midwife's explanation. Syafina was in her heart, now she was no longer crying. She convinced herself to give birth to her child without a husband beside her.

"I will give birth to our son Syakha bang, "were Shafina in the heart.

Syafina managed her breathing trying to calm down, she kept on being idle. When the contractions came she closed her eyes in pain, in her heart she wanted her husband to massage her, maybe it would make her feel comfortable. Contractions come many times, the longer and the stronger.

"Sister, I want to have a bowel movement" said Syafina, who gasped for pain.

"So check again yes, maybe it's a complete opening" the midwife then did a deep examination.

"Complete opening, brother set your position first huh. Now you can distribute, then lead brother"

"Good sister" Syafina just followed the instructions of the Midwife's sister who helped her delivery.

"Open her eyes, her mouth closed and straining the strong" Midwife Anita led Syafina to a twisting.

When it comes to contractions Syafina does as the midwife recommends, Syafina does it with all her might.

While outside Arsya and Reyhan also felt like straining, sitting wrong and standing was also wrong. Hearing Syafina's voice being suffocated due to their pain, they held their breath. The family of another patient who happened to be there was astonished to see him. Which of them wants to give birth.

"My feeling is that the patient is in only two people, my wife and there's one other wife who is? " The father scrunched his forehead thinking.

As Shafina was twisting the third time so strongly, she felt like she was watching her husband standing beside her.

"Let's fight for our child". Khalid gave encouragement.

Syafina felt she got a very strong energy she connected to a long push with all her remaining strength. And finally there was the sound of the cry of a newborn baby in the world, the cry sounded quite loud.

"Alhamdulillah" Shafina was grateful to have given birth to her child. He saw his son who was placed midwife on his chest, the tiny baby looks still weak.

"Alhamdulillah" Arysa and Reyhan finally breathed a sigh of relief. They both looked and smiled.

"Sister, is my baby okay?"

Syafina then hugged her baby, to give warmth to little Syakha. Syafina did not feel tears dripping again looking into the eyes of her baby who also looked at her as if there was inner contact between the two of them. Then little Syakha cried quite strongly.

"The crying is strong Fin, the baby's big brother huh. Want to be deadzankan then transferred to the perinatology room to get treatment there."

"Good sister" Syafina said.

The midwife opened the delivery room door a little, Arsya and Reyhan who were still tense waiting for news from inside immediately approached the midwife.

"The baby will be deceived, after this will be transferred to the perinatology room. Who can sacrifice? " ask the midwife.

"I" Reyhan and Arsya said. The midwife was confused as well. The father was no less confused.

"Let me alone" the voice from the entrance arrived.

Everyone looked at the origin of the voice. They don't know who's standing there.

"I'm his grandfather, let me just prosecute my grandson" Salman asked.

Arsya and Reyhan then approached Salman, and greeted Syafina's father.

"Please come in, baby Syafina was born 15 minutes ago" Reyhan guided Salman's hand into the delivery room. But he did not go inside.

Salman placed his granddaughter in her right ear, after she finished giving it back to the midwife. Syafina was so moved to see her father accuse her son, Syakha.

"How heavy is my son? "

"1900 grams, brother take it to the perinatology room yes. You come with me there, sir" The midwife turned to Salman. Salman then followed the midwife. Outside Arysa and Reyhan are waiting at the door.

"Will the baby be taken to perinatology? " ask Arsya.

"True sir" said the midwife.

"I went there" Pinta Arsya.

"Let me wait for Syafina here" Reyhan said.

Salman so find out who these two handsome men in front of him, certainly Arsya and Reyhan.

"Rey, take Syafina, yes,"

"Yes, um" Reyhan nodded.

Arsya follows Salman and the midwife to perinatology, while Reyhan takes care of Syafina's needs in the delivery room. After all, he was the person in charge when Syafina entered from the ER.

In the perinatology room Arsya performs her own care and actions on the little baby Syakha. He has been used to taking care of baby babies since in the perinatology room.

"Om don't worry let me take care of baby Syafina, I'm in charge om".

"Thank you Arsya, om tipped granddaughter om huh? "

Arsya. She puts little baby Syakha into the incubator after she makes sure the incubator is at the right temperature.

"Rita, please ask ASI Syafina, she has now been transferred to the treatment room."

"Good sir" Rita then went to the nifas treatment room to see Syafina. about half an hour later she brought a bottle containing ASI.

"Only 15 cc sir"

"That's enough" Arsya then gave her own ASI through NGT, because baby Syakha has not had a suction reflex.

Arsya sat on the bench next to the incubator, looking at the little baby who was asleep because it was full. Somehow she felt in love with the baby, was it because the baby belonged to Syafina.
