The Sanctity of Tarnished Love

Desire to Give Birth

In this mortal world, all that never gives up is time. He continued to walk tirelessly, even though no one would care about him. In life, time is a sure thing, no matter how much we try to seduce it, time will never stop. Time travel never waits, no matter if we are hurt or happy, time will still roll properly.

As in the life of Dusk, time goes on without waiting for his wounded heart. Day after day, week after week, time just keeps rolling in so fast. Now it has been nine months and ten days she is pregnant.

In the middle of a dark night, when heavy rain was pouring down the city of Surabaya. Dusk groaned in pain in the car that took him to the hospital. He lay on the back bench, with his head on Nina's lap. Dusk held onto his stomach as he continued to whimper.

A few hours ago, Dusk felt pain in his back, and his lower abdomen. He called out to Nina, and Alvin. He asked for help as the pain grew.

Alvin panicked, he was about to take Dusk to the hospital. But there is no way he could have carried it on a motorcycle. Then Alvin called Ken, and asked him for help.

About two months ago, Mr. Jeffry and Mr. Ratih visited Alvin's house. They apologized for Ken's actions that cost Dusk dearly. Then they also promised to be responsible for the needs of Dusk, and his son. That's why Alvin called Ken, and asked him for help when Dusk groaned in the middle of the night. And now Ken is taking Dusk to the hospital.

"Sick Nin!" twilight groan while gripping Alvin's hand.

"Patience to Nja, hold on a second! Soon we reach the hospital." said Nina while wiping her sweaty forehead.

"You can certainly pray, pray, ask Allah for help, may be given ease, and smoothness" said Alvin who was sitting crouching in front of Dusk.

Alvin continued to hold the hand of Dusk, occasionally wiping his arm. Gives strength, and support to his sister.

"You should be fine Aya, I'll take you to the hospital immediately" Ken said in his heart, as he stepped on the accelerator, and increased his speed.

The twilight groan that mingled with the sound of rain, made Ken's heart sizzle with pain. Is that how sick it is to give birth?

Foolishly she gives such a burden, when Dusk is not yet legal to be his wife.

"Sick Brother!" The twilight again whimpered, the sweat poured down the sleeping clothes he was wearing.

"Patience to Nja, there is a big brother here. Big brother won't leave you." said Alvin with the eye crackers starting to heat up.

He could not bear to see his brother in pain. If only he could, he would very much like to replace his brother. Let him feel pain, as long as his brother can smile happily.

"At any time we get to Aya, just two more turns, hold Aya" said Ken while remaining focused on the road in front of him.

"Sick, sick sister, very sick sister!" moaning as she continued to cry.

"Prophe Nja, you must be strong for the sake of your child." said Nina while wiping away the tears of Dusk that continued to flow from the corner of her eyes.

A few minutes later, Ken stopped his car in the hospital yard. He rushed down from the car, and helped Alvin who was lifting the body of Dusk.

"Suster! Please sister!" ken called out to the nurse who was on guard.

Not long after, two nurses came while pushing the gurney. Alvin laid Dusk there, and then the nurse pushed him into the delivery room.

"Mother and Father please wait here, patient, please stay with us" said one of the nurses when they arrived at the doorway.

"Good sister." they answered simultaneously.

Ken rubbed his face violently as Dusk's body was brought into the room. Surely she really wanted to accompany Dusk in there, but of course it should not be, let alone she was not her husband.

Ken was pacing around in front of the room, he was very panicked. He was afraid if anything happened with Dusk, or his son.

"Allah save them, O Allah" said Ken in his heart.

"Hallo Ma." said Ken.

"Hallo, how's Dusk, been taken to the hospital?" ask Mrs Ratih.

"Already Ma, we just arrived. But he was still inside, and we were told to wait outside. Where's mama?"

"Thank God then, don't just wait for Ken, but also pray. Hope the delivery goes well. Mama is already on the road, maybe three hours later Mama arrived there." replied Mrs Ratih.

"Yes Ma, Papa's coming home too, right?"

"Yes, obviously Ken, his grandson wants to go out while still concerned about work" said Mrs Ratih.

"Yes, be careful Ma" said Ken.

"Yes, don't forget to pray" said Mrs Ratih.

"Yes Ma." replied Ken.

***

Inside the delivery room, accompanied by a doctor, and two nurses. The twilight groan endured the increasingly intense pain. His body seemed to lose energy, because the pain was tormenting him even more. Is this what it feels like to give birth?

The doctor's mother still hasn't allowed him to push, because it's not time yet. Dusk bit his lips, he tried hard not to scream, or scream. Dusk also closed his eyes, he only moaned while crying.

About half an hour later, the doctor told him to push. Dusk gathers all his strength, to encourage the baby who wants to look at the beautiful world.

Once, twice, three times, up to five times straining, but the baby is not out yet.

Dusk was almost exhausted, as if he could no longer do so.

"Let's push again Mom, less Mom!" said the doctor's mother.

"It's no longer a strong doctor." replied Dusk very slowly.

"Try it again Mom, come on Mom!"

Dusk gripped the blanket that covered his body. He gathered up the remnants of his strength, and tried to bring out the baby. Dusk was out of breath, he was no longer able to do it, his strength had drained away. A few seconds later, she heard the sound of a baby crying. Dusk smiled, but his eyes began to blur. And the next moment, he could not remember what happened to him.

Outside the room, Ken, Alvin, and Nina were sitting down while looking down. They waited for Dusk, which had been three hours in the room. None of them opened their voices, they were swept away in their minds.

"O Allah, please save Dusk, forgive all his sins. Give ease to him O Allah." inwardly Alvin while rubbing his face.

"O Allah, pity Dusk, all this time his life has suffered enough. Please give her salvation, give her happiness through her baby." Nina's mind while wiping the corner of her eyes that began to get wet.

"Allah forgives my sins, and also My sins. Forgive us what we did that night. O Allah, please make it easy for him, save him, and do not let him feel pain. Let the servant correct the wrongs of the servant, O Allah, give way so that the servant may marry him. Servant wants to love him in a lawful way O Allah." Ken's mind while holding his head.

Waiting for the twilight that was giving birth, her heart was completely riled up.
