The Substitute Husband's Love

Chapter 49

"Your baby's there, sir." a nurse showed me the room that Arka's baby is in. In *incubator*, fall asleep with some tools attached.

However, that is not what Arka wants to see and know the situation.

"My wife?"

Everyone was silent, not daring to answer.

Arka's feelings of tension, worry, fear, as well as various other feelings that represent her mood. "Where's Nasya?"

Rangga who was in the lyrics first looked down. "There, sir." he replied without daring to raise his head let alone look at Arka.

"Please come with us" asked a woman in a white suit who had taken her to her baby's room in the care of her.

"I want to take our son to see him!" pinta Arka, with a firm voice.

The doctor who was eager to see Arka's condition immediately opened the little red baby's bed, lifting it with the tools that are still attached.

Then give it to Arka.

"Your baby is male, weighing 1.9 kilograms and 40 centimeters long. He was born with ... "stiffness, the doctor seemed unable to say what he had been trying to explain.

"What doctor? What's our son?"

Silence, no answer.

"The ladder!" reprimanded Arka, her assistant was trembling.

"Little possibility for him to be able to walk, sir."

Once again, lightning struck over Arka's head. Unceasing grief came and tormented his inner self.

He looked at the little baby in his arms. Chewing it with love and tenderness.

"I don't care, he's still my son, despite being born imperfect. I'll still be his father, I'll give my life for his life if need be!" Arka.

Two people were moved, they just found a figure of parents who live without a lack of treasure, even from a distinguished family but do not refuse when one of their children was born with a deficiency.

"Take me to my wife, Doc!"

Step by step slowly, until it has arrived in front of a room that reads ICU. Already visible from the glass, the woman with a pale face and many tools attached to her body lay helplessly.

"Patients have only a 20 percent chance of being sober" the doctor said, in a soft voice.

Arka closed her eyes, feeling a deep tightness.

The door opened, Arka walked quickly and sat down beside the bed where Nasya was lying. Giving her little baby to the doctor back, Arka switched to grasping Nasya's hand attached to the needle*infuse* and other tools.

"I believe God determines everything. I hope God also trusts me, trusts you again, lives together and raises our children. I won't force you to open your eyes, open your eyes if you want. Just for a minute, to see how much you need in my life."

So steadfast was Arka, in saying his words. No tears escaped a single drop. A smile that only he showed.

Suddenly the baby in the doctor's arms cried loudly. The doctor smiled completely.

"The patient's condition is stabilizing!"

The lightning bolt changed with the rainbow in Arka's heart, the baby's cries along with the rise in Nasya's state made her very moved.

Arka prostrated on the floor, her cries breaking.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

One week has been, since Nasya realized after 2 days his condition was declared stable.

Now she is holding her baby who is still attached to the tool not as much as before on her body.

"You're going to name who this little baby is? Gosh, it's like I saw a baby rabbit see it this small!" The newly arrived Mira makes a little joke that makes laughter escape from Arka's mouth.

"Mom, how mean to your own grandson!" ketus Miras.

"So, what's his name?"

"Hmm." Dekham, Nasha glanced at Arka who was sitting with her tired eyes in the corner.

Arka stood up, then was already sitting next to Nasya.

"I haven't prepared her name yet, because I never knew her gender in the womb."

"So bad!" adrian's Overestimation. Gave a cynical glance at Arka.

Arka chuckled, with a single blow landing from his wife on part of his hand.

They both do not know the true state of the tiny baby, only Arka, Nasya, Rangga and also the attending physician know. Nasya glanced at Arka, who got a nod from Arka.

They have promised that the condition of the baby will be kept secret, as well as his identity so that no one will mock him later.

"Daddy's gonna give him a name, can't you?"

Arka and Nasya nodded.

"Archi Matteo Dastan Ekasatria!" exclamation Adrian.

"Everybody's gonna call him Teo!"

"No! What kind of name is that!" protested Nasya, the mother of the baby was visibly upset by the name of the choice of the baby's grandfather.

"Dastan Matteo Arkananda Ekasatria!" Nasya.

"All right," Adrian said.

"Everybody's gonna call him Dastan."
