The Primadona Malam

Birth of the Twins

Halim's mind was completely muddled. He could no longer concentrate. Not yet Niram found, now his wife also experienced contractions. Not too late to help my wife. Halim drives his bike at high speed.

In Halim's rented house.

Rayyan returned to the living room to meet her mother. Arriving in the middle room, Rayyan was so surprised to see her mother who was already sitting leaning against the wall. On both of his calves, blood seemed to pour profusely.

Rayyan did not understand anything. His new age sat in first grade, making his thinking limited. However, seeing the condition of his mother who is tired, Rayyan understands that his mother is not okay.

"Patience, Ma. Papa is on his way here" said Rayyan, embracing his mother's shoulder.

Imas did not answer. The pain in the stomach had drained all his strength. He could only look at Rayyan. Little by little, his vision grew increasingly blurry. Until finally, the head of Imas can only droop on the child's small shoulder.

Niram pecked himself in front of the mirror. Slowly, he opened the cloth covering his head. His chest rumbled violently when the head covering cloth was already lying on the floor.

Niram smiled wryly. Slowly, he stripped away the covered clothes that were attached to the body, replacing them with Yura's open clothes. Niram felt strange when he saw his cleavage open wide. Every now and then, both of his hands pulled the end of the dress to the left and right.

"Alright, Nir. End it. You will feel tormented doing so," said Yura who just came out of the bathroom.

Niram. "What was it like this the first time you did it?" ask Niram, plain.

Yura smiled thinly. "Maybe it was common for me. However, I do not deny, the awkwardness ambushed me when I had to serve a man I do not know," said Yura, reminiscing about the past.

Niram smiled bitterly. "If Mbak can get through it, I'm sure, I can get through tonight. After tonight, everything will definitely be mediocre" said Niram.

Yura smiled back. "If you can, I don't want you to follow in my footsteps, Nir. However, I cannot guarantee your life," Yura said.

"It's Niram's decision, Ma'am. There is absolutely nothing to do with the obligations of Ma'am. Anyway, I don't want to be a prick here, Ma'am. I also have to work to finance the needs of me and my parents in the village" replied Niram.

"Hopefully succeed, Nir," support Yura.

The tall girl approached her wardrobe. He also started to change clothes. After that, Yura took out something from inside the closet drawer. He went back to Niram who was polishing his face.

"Drink this!" yura's word while giving a medicine to Niram.

Niram's forehead frowned when he received a bone-white medicine.

"What is this, Ma'am?" ask Niram.

"That's a Pill KB. Very effective in preventing pregnancy. So, you do not need to worry if the customer asks to issue inside. I guarantee you won't get pregnant" Yura said.

"Are you sure?" Niram asked again.

"A hundred percent will never get pregnant. It's a special contraceptive from obgyn. Trustworthy and very accurate. I've been wearing it for years, and the result .. You see for yourself, right, my circumstances. Don't worry, don't make your body stretch too," replied Yura.

Niram smiled faintly. "When can I eat, Ma'am?" he asked her who knew nothing about contraception.

Yura glanced at the wall clock. Magrib in a minute. And after the magrib, Yura usually goes to find prey.

"The pill should be taken an hour before intercourse, and the reaction lasts for 48 hours, but even so, you should regularly take the pill every day. Try it at the same time" Yura said.

"Mbak himself ... What time does Mbak usually take this pill?" ask Niram.

"Gue heck, abis magrib," Yura replied.

Niram glanced at the wall clock. Magrib in a minute. Hmm, rather than me forgetting not to take the pill, it is better now that I take this pill, Inner Niram.

"Thank you, Ma'am."

Finished with makeup on her face, Niram then went to the kitchen to fetch some drinking water. Arriving in the kitchen, Niram immediately swallowed the pill that Yura had given him earlier.

Azan magrib began to reverberate. However, Halim had not yet arrived home. Rayyan was not able to see the condition of her mother who was increasingly concerned. Imas' face looks pale. His lips also turned blue. The blood that soaked his clothes had already started to dry.

Rayyan's tiny hands still faithfully rubbed her mother's cheeks. Every now and then, Rayyan glanced towards the door leaf. I hope his father comes soon.

Shortly after, Halim arrived home. After parking his motorbike, half-run he entered his house.

"How's Mama doing, Bang?" halim asked as soon as he arrived before his son.

"Don't know, Pa. It seems like my mother is unconscious" Rayyan replied.

"Astaghfirullah .. Let's take Mama to the hospital. Please bring the baby bag in Papa's room. In the meantime, Papa's gonna book his cab online first." Halim gave orders to her son.

Rayyan nodded. A second later, he went to his parents' room to pick up a bag containing his sister's clothes.

In the living room, Halim seemed to be contacting someone. Half an hour later, a man entered Halim's rented house.

"Come, we'll get your bini, Lim!" said Sugistiawan who had been crouching in front of Halim.

"I-yes, Bang," said Halim.

The body of Imas who was pregnant with twins, felt so heavy. Halim and Sugistiawan carried Imas walking down the alley. Arriving at the end of the alley, the two men immediately put Imas in the car.

"Go to the hospital first. I will be followed. I have to pick up Rayyan first and lock the door" pinta Halim.

"Alright then, I go first. To RSUD yes, Lim," said Sugistiawan.

"Yes, Bang."

Sugistiawan drove his car. Halim returns home to pick up Rayyan and bring all the baby gear.

Halim was slightly transfixed when she saw Imas' blood on the floor. Is it possible that Imas had bleeding? Oh my God .. Please save my wife and children.

.

.

The local RSUD.

Seeing Imas's condition was already concerning, the medical team immediately took action. Heavy bleeding causes the patient to lose a lot of blood. The patient was also unconscious. The only way to save the patient and the baby is by cesarean section.

"Please sign the affidavit, sir. We have to do a patient Sc immediately" a nurse asked.

"Sorry, Sus. Can we wait a minute. I'm sure her husband is on his way here" Sugistiawan said.

"So, you're not her husband?" ask the nurse again.

"No. I am only a close friend of her husband" replied Sugistiawan.

Suddenly Halim came with her son. "How's my wife doing?" ask Halim.

"Are you her husband?" The nurse asked back.

"Yes, Sus. I am her husband" replied Halim.

"Then, please sign this, sir. Your wife needs immediate action" the nurse said.

"What is this, Sus?" halim asked, showing the sheet she had just received from the nurse.

"That's a letter of approval of an operating act that will be performed against your wife. If later sesup–"

"Do your best for my wife and my future child, Sus!" cut Halim while signing a statement.

Halim no longer wanted to hear any explanation. The longer the nurse spoke, the longer Imas was dealt with. Therefore, he immediately signed his approval letter.

Time keeps passing. It's been almost two hours since Imas was in the operating room. Halim was already feeling very frustrated. Two hours without news, like two years without certainty.

Suddenly, the light above the operating room door started to go out. A nurse opened the operating room door.

"Congratulations, Sir. Your twin babies are already born" the nurse said.

"Goddessa ...."
