The Substitute

fight together

"Doctor, we lost him" said a doctor's assistant.

"Prepare the pacemaker." asked the doctor.

The team of doctors who treated Ameera immediately made efforts to save his life. While a pediatrician is handling the baby girl whose condition is very weak.

"Sus, take this baby to the nursery immediately" the doctor asked a nurse.

One of the doctors came out of the operating room to tell the condition of Ameera and her baby daughter. Zarima who heard that cried.

Suddenly Ozan's whole body trembled. He sat in a long chair with a pale face. Rangga then approached and sat down beside him while patting his shoulder.

"Quiet Bang! Ameera is a strong man. She will be fine" said Rangga trying to calm her brother's worries.

Moments later, two nurses walked out of the operating room pushing two glass boxes. Those who were in that place immediately stood up, about to see the babies.

The tears of Zarima and Hasan melted, as soon as they saw the granddaughter they had been waiting for all this time. Feelings of happiness and fear converge considering their granddaughter is in a worrying state.

The pediatrician asked Ozan to come to the nursery. While others remained waiting in front of the operating room.

Inside the baby's room, doctors made extra observations for the baby girl because of her weakened condition. While Ozan held his son and immediately echoed the adhan in his ear. Not felt, her tears just fell, looking at the baby's face.

Rangga looked calmer than others, he tried to hide his concerns, but Dina could see the look on Rangga's face that was under anxiety. Dina sat down beside him and clasped her hands tightly.

"Ameera will be fine, Rangga. Don't worry, there's always hope,"

Yes, Din... Thank you, you've come, you've come,"

Dina smiled sweetly, making the heart of the man next to her seem like it was about to explode. True said the poets, love is painful, sometimes it just feels when it has been lost. The feeling of pain that now must be dammed by Rangga. He had to feel broken hearts twice because of his unfulfilled love.

After nearly two hours of waiting, the doctor came out of the operating room.

Everyone who was there had already prepared his heart to accept the worst reality.

"Doctor, how's my son doing?" zarima asked with a trembling voice.

"The condition is stable, but the patient is still unconscious because it is still under the influence of drugs. Then the patient will be transferred to the puerperal treatment room," said the doctor.

Zarima and Hasan breathed a sigh of relief. There was an infinite sense of happiness to hear their beloved daughter-in-law survived. They then hugged each other, releasing all the worry that had reached his heart.

Rangga cried happily to hear the woman who became his first love survived death. So happy, he hugged Dina tightly, making his heart beat faster.

Ameera lay weakly in a room. Since then Ozan did not move one bit from his wife's side. Ozan grabs Ameera's hand and puts it on her cheek.

"Darling, wakeup... Me and the kids need you. You know, they're so funny, our daughter is so pretty like you. He is struggling now too. There's still so much to do, Yank... We haven't made them a room yet, we haven't even given them a name. I wouldn't be able to take care of them without you" she said, dropping her tears.

Hasan, Zarima and Rangga were still faithfully waiting in front. They sat together on a chair with Zarima leaning on Rangga's shoulder. While Aliyah was accompanying Rizal who was undergoing treatment in another room.

"Mama Papa just go home, yeah... Let me wait here" Rangga told his parents.

"Mama will wait for Ameera. Mama's gonna be home when she wakes up."

"It's almost morning, Mah... My mom needs a rest too. Or mama sleeps inside" Rangga then leads her mother into Ameera's room and asks her to lie on the sofa in the room.

"Papa, I want to see Bang Ramon first, yes. Who knows if he needs something,"

"Yes, Papa's going to Mushola."

Then they went downstairs. Rangga headed to the room where Ramon was treated. However, as the new door opened in half, his eyes caught the sight that made his heart heat up. Dina was accompanying Ramon in there.

"Thank you, Din... You've come all the way here" said Ramon, holding the hand of his heart.

"Yes, Brother... I want to see Ameera."

Rangga who saw the scene that he thought was friendly clenched his hands until trembling. His jealousy soared into space. Unable to bear it, he left the place.

"Ameera's okay, right?" ask Ram9n then.

"He's not conscious. His daughter is also still in the observation stage. It's not so good,"

"May they quickly pass through this difficult time... By the way, have you met Rangga?"

Dina replied with a nod, but a look of sadness was on her face.

"I'm glad he's back on his feet, too,"

Early in the morning, the sun slowly began to show its light illuminating the entire universe. Ozan fell asleep in a chair and his head fell on the side of Ameera's bed. Nearly 3 days after Ameera was unconscious after surgery.

Until the man felt a gentle hand stroke caress his hair. Slowly he opened his eyes. And a sense of warmth suddenly pervaded his soul when he saw his beloved wife had awakened.

"Darling... Thank God, you are awake" Ozan said, hugging Ameera.

Ameera then felt her stomach and felt her stomach flattened.

"Mas, kids... Where're they? They're okay, right?" asked Ameera with her hoarse voice.

"Please calm down, Yank. They're in the baby's nursery."

"I want to see them, Mum..." Ameera tries to wake her up, but Ozan holds her back.

"In the meantime, you should see a doctor first. After that I drove to the baby's room" Ozan then went to call a doctor who handled Ameera.

Zarima, who was asleep on the sofabed, woke up when I heard Ameera's voice. The woman immediately approached her daughter-in-law.

"Ameera, you're awake, son." he said, stroking Ameera's head.

"Yes, Mah..."

"Thank God..." Zarima then kissed Ameera's forehead fondly while dropping her tears.

"Mama, I want to see my kids,"

"Yes, just a minute, kid... Let the doctor see you first" Zarima said later.

After checking and making sure Ameera was stable, the doctor allowed Ameera to see her twins who were still undergoing treatment.

Ozan pushes Ameera's wheelchair towards the baby room. And when Ameera saw her two babies from behind the glass window of the room, she cried when she saw her little babies lying in an incubator. The baby boy was seen crying, while the baby girl was still asleep.

"They can't wait to see her mother" said Ozan, who was helping Ameera stand, "Our baby girl is struggling right now. He's still weak. He'll be strong like you,"

"I'm going in there, ma'am... I want to see them up close" Ameera said.

"A little while, I told the doctor first, yeah..."
