The Sacrifice of Nayra
Baby Daniel
"Sir, ma'am, CTG shows that your baby's heart rate is very weak" the doctor said.
Rama, Nayra and Bu Aini were shocked to hear the doctor's words.
"Therefore, the baby in the mother's womb must be removed immediately through a caesarean section" continued the doctor.
"Please do whatever it takes to save our baby Doc!" sahut Rama's.
"Good Sir. We will try our best. Then excuse me first"
"Thank you Doc"
"Mas, I'm so scared" Nayra said, shedding tears.
Rama holds Nayra's hand to give her strength.
"You don't have to be afraid, baby! Everything's gonna be fine. Our baby won't do anything, okay?"
Nayra nodded.
In his heart Rama was actually also very afraid. She is afraid that the events that happened to Aisha will happen again to Nayra or her baby.
The clock has shown ten o'clock at night. All equipment for the operation is prepared. Nayra was transferred to the operating room. There are several doctors and nurses who will handle it.
Rama and Bu Aini were asked to wait outside. Inwardly, they prayed incessantly for the safety of Nayra and the baby in her womb.
'Please save Nayra and our baby! Don't let anything bad happen to them! I beg! I will not be able to if I have to lose them' Rama prayed in my heart.
Minutes by minutes passed. Rama and Bu Aini waited anxiously in front of the operating room.
"Oh yes, son Rama, have you informed your parents?" ask Ms. Aini.
"Already Mom. God willing they come here tomorrow morning"
Ms. Aini nodded.
*In the operating room
Before the operation was done, Nayra was invited to chat with the anesthesiologist so as not to strain. After that, the anesthesiologist injects an anesthetic (spinal or epidural anesthesia) in the lower back of the Nayra. Nayra bit her lower lip to endure the pain.
This anesthesia technique only caused numbness in the lower part of his body and Nayra was still conscious during the operation.
After that, Nayra was laid down on the operating table with her head slightly raised. Then officers put a curtain over Nayra's chest to separate Nayra's hands and view from the sterile operating area.
Dag.. Digs.. Dugs..
Nayra's heart was pounding incoherently. But he tried to stay calm. In his heart he prayed,
'Bismillah, O God, I give everything to You. I hope my baby will be born healthy and safe. Aamiin's'
The operation began. The doctor made incisions after incisions along the 10 to 20 centimeters in the stomach and uterus of Nayra. The incision is made horizontally slightly below the waistline.
The baby will be removed through the incision made. This process usually takes 5 to 10 minutes. In this process, Nayra felt her stomach as if it was being pulled.
Shortly thereafter...
"Ooeekkk.. Ooeekk..."
The baby was born safely into the world. Nayra was so moved to hear the sound of her baby crying so loud.
"Alhamdulillah O Allah." said Nayra with teary eyes.
"Congratulations Ma'am, your baby is a boy" the nurse said as she showed the baby to Nayra.
There was no noticeably a grain of clear crystal flowing from the corner of Nayra's eye the first time she saw her baby.
'Thank you, God, you have granted my prayers. You gave me a very handsome baby boy' he murmured inwardly.
The nurse took the baby to the observation room.
The doctor then removes the placenta from Nayra's uterus, and gives an injection of the hormone oxytocin to stimulate uterine contractions so that the bleeding will decrease and eventually stop completely. The doctor closed the incision on Nayra's uterus and abdomen with sutures. The entire procedure of cesarean section will generally take 40 to 50 minutes.
The sisters came out to call Rama.
"Baby father?" exciting nurse.
Rama immediately stood up to the nurse. Followed by Bu Aini.
"Yes, I'm Sus"
"The baby father was born. Congratulations sir, your baby's a boy"
"Alhamdulillah O Allah.." Rama and Bu Aini raised their hands in gratitude.
"Then my wife how's Sus?"
"Thank God" said Rama and Bu Aini relieved.
The nurse invites Rama in to see the baby. Rama immediately carried and kissed the cheeks of the baby. Then she called out the Adhan to her baby's right ear.
"It's papa darling. Thank God you were born safe" Rama kissed the baby's forehead.
"Yes Sister, how much does she weigh?"
"3.7 kilos of grams sir"
After that, the nurse took the baby back to the operating room. The nurse placed the baby on Nayra's chest to breastfeed. Nayra also performed an IMD on her baby. The baby suckled firmly in Nayra's breast.
'God willing, it feels amazing.it really can't be replaced with anything' Nayra murmured until she shed tears.
A few minutes later, the nurse took the baby back and took him to the observation room. Nayra was transferred to the recovery room.
The clock had already shown at one in the morning when Nayra was transferred to her ward. Rama and Bu Aini accompany Nayra.
"Darling? How are you doing?" rama asked, holding his wife's hand.
"I'm okay, Mom?"
"Don't it hurt?"
"It hurts, but the pain has paid off with the birth of our baby. I'm so happy Mas"
"I am also dear. Thank you yes.. Thank you for giving birth to a baby boy for me"
"Sama-sama Mas"
Rama kissed Nayra.
***
The next day...
Mr. Samsul and Ms. Maya arrive at the hospital. They went straight to Nayra's ward. It just so happens that Nayra's baby has just been bathed and delivered by the nurse to Nayra's nursery.
Mom Maya also immediately carried and kissed her granddaughter's cheeks. While Mr. Samsul gently stroked her black and bushy hair.
"The handsome grandson of Oma. Oh yes Rama, what's his name?" ask Maya Ma.
"His name is Daniel Ma. Daniel Mahendra's Son"
"A very good name"
"Daniel in Islam means smart and intelligent. Hopefully he will grow up to be a smart and smart child" Nayra said.
"Aamiin" said everyone.
"Nayra, thank you baby? You've given Mama a very handsome grandson. Mama is so happy"
"Yes Ma"
Ma'am Maya is very happy to get the grandson she has been craving for all this time. Likewise with Mr. Samsul and Ms. Aini.
