The Ours In Another Story

12. The Birth Story of Our Child

“She should give birth now. The problem is that we have no choice. Any path taken is all high risk. If we caesar panic attack it can get bigger and it will be very dangerous for both. The threat of rupture of blood vessels will be even greater because his blood pressure is also high. If we take the normal path, he must be really strong to endure to the end.

“But the baby is healthy right?”

“Thank God the baby is healthy. Her waters are still quite enough so she is not in a bad condition, but the problem is with the mother.”

“If you're operating it in doubt, it means the risk to my son-in-law and granddaughter is not playing games. I think giving birth to normal is the best way. Let's try it first while waiting for his blood pressure to drop. If indeed we can not just operate,” said Tiwi in the end.

“Mama want to tell Rere pain keeps rich that?” asked Jevan who had heard it from outside the curtains.

Mama sighed when she heard her son's voice tremble. He slightly fluttered the curtains around his daughter-in-law's bed then met Jevan and patted both of his son's shoulders, “kamu diem aja Jev. Believe me Mama, you now wipe your tears and keep your wife. Whatever happens don't leave, understand?” mama Tiwi said to Jevan. Inevitably Jevan could only nod his ass. He could no longer think clearly. He was surprised not to play hear the doctor's diagnosis just now plus his mother also spoke the same thing.

Right now Jevan and Rere are just the two of them, in one of the wards in the hospital. A few minutes ago the doctor went back to check it and delivered the good news if Rere had enough energy to do it. Jevan should have been happy to hear it but the moment he saw that pale face and cold sweat soaking all over her beautiful body was enough to make him sure that Rere was only pretending to be strong.

“Mas, your hand why?” ask Rere to Jevan.

“No papa is beautiful, don't think of me. You just focus,” Jevan said as he wiped the sweat on Rere's forehead with a small towel.

“Nafiza is fine, right? He's okay, isn't he? Kok he really ateng ya nendang-kendang rich usually,” asked Rere while stroking his stomach.

“You guys are fine. You guys must be fine. I'm here, you know,” replied Jevan. He put his hand on Rere's stomach.

Looking at the elastic bandage in Jevan's hand made Rere shrouded in a feeling of guilt, “Jevan.

“Udah dong Reva stop. Focus yeah, don't think of anything else, please,” said Jevan who ended up crying as well. It was no longer in his power to hold him back to see his wife trying to be strong alone while he was unable to do anything.

Jevan immediately wiped his tears, then kissed Rere's forehead trying to channel power to him. Keep on whispering the best prayer for both.

“What are you feeling right now?” ask Jevan who is calmer.

“Dizziness Mas, my stomach hurts a lot too,” said Rere. His grip weakened again after the arrival of the contraction just now. One more tear Rere escaped just like that, “If you can sleep is attempted. I have you here,” Jevan told Rere.

Jevan kept stroking Rere's head gently, at least he wanted Rere to feel relaxed and fall asleep for a while. Let him forget his pain. Unfortunately, not long before she fell asleep, Nafiza woke her up again. His contractions came even more painful than the ones before.

It's been over 10 hours Rere's been trying. Jevan was there, but what was the power. He could only silently watch as Rere continued to whimper from time to time.

“You can get here anyway Mon?” ask Jevan.

“Yesterday Rere called me crying. I can't bear the horror so yes I immediately pesen ticket home, uh know the condition Rere already rich gini. Mama went home with Tirta, tonight I'm with Jovan who metemenin you guys,” said Monik.

“Je, this is eaten first,” said Jovan while offering a serving of fried rice made by Monika.

“Ntar aja, Rere can not be left.”

“I've guessed. A. Cepet open his mouth. I bribe yes, let you have the power of a little item,” Jovan prefers to bribe it. Little by little until Jevan manages to finish his dinner.

Jevan didn't sleep last night and Jovan accompanied him. Monik had fallen asleep curled up on the sofa while Jovan gave his thighs to become a monik sleeping pillow and his jacket he wore to cover Monika's body. Somewhat worried also he actually remembers Monika is currently also a two-body.

“Jo, back then Monik lahiran you also ngerasain rich gini?”

“Hmm, more or less the same. But I'm sure you can,” said Jovan.

“It feels rich time is not the way. Just stuck," said Jevan.

“I don't know Mama has ever told you gini hasn't been to you. Mama said, every mother-to-be made to feel pain when going to give birth to her child is a sign if she ever risked her life for the sake of the baby, so she will never waste her child and to make sure her husband does not waste his wife after seeing that struggle,”.

“Your first challenge as a parent Je. You have to be able to, you two have to be able to pass,” said Jovan trying to strengthen.

Gradually Rere's pain increased until he reached his climax. Jevan saw directly with both eyes his head as heavy as what struggle Rere pushed out his daughter. Rere's groaning sounded painful and painful, but it was also filled with determination and strength. He had almost given up until an oxygen hose was placed on his nose. He tried to exert all his remaining energy on the final push. Till....

Kei Nafiza Rhea was born

The baby was born but did not cry. Rere is now starting to thrash. He felt like he was failing, and now he feels pain again. The bleeding did not stop until he got a transfusion. Fortunately, when Nafiza who kept trying to wake up was finally crying Rere was still able to hear it.

Jevan received Nafiza from a helpful nun earlier, then she sat down next to Rere. He brought the little ears of Nafiza who was still crying to his mouth and he began to chant the first adhan for his daughter. Next to her Rere was crying again, but this time the crying was different. This cry was filled with happiness, seeing her crying daughter instantly silently listening to her father's melodious voice.

After that Nafiza was immediately taken to the NICU because her condition was too weak. Rere also began to be moved to his ward. Doctors put him on a ventilator and recorded his heart as Rere gradually weakened. Do not forget also the infusion needle that penetrates the skin to help the weak body get intake.
