THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE

Farhan Came

Since the catheter was removed, Via had to start practicing walking. The training starts with trying to stand up.

Slowly, Via inched to the edge of the bed. His feet were lowered until dangling. Little by little, Via lifted his butt off the bed.  The pain instantly ambushed once Via's body began to erect. Via screech

bated.

Ma'am Inah with a whole body support Via. He intended to put the young mother back in.

“Come, I help you sit again,” said Bu Inah.

“No! I should try walking. I should be able to immediately, Mom,” Reject Via.

Even so it hurt, Via tried hard to endure it. He began to move his right foot forward.

Just two steps, Via could not take it anymore. Pain in the scar of the operation is very painful. He shuffled back to bed.

“Slowly, don't be too pushy,” advises Bu Inah.

“Via can't wait to meet dedek,” said Via lirih.

“Yes, I know. But, Ma'am Via don't push yourself, yes! Now, drink milk first, let the ASI good” said Bu Inah again.

For the sake of the quality of ASI for the baby, Via spent milk for him. After that, Via decided to rest.

Because Via was asleep, Miss Inah came out. He went to the cafeteria to buy food.

Via opened his eyes slowly as his cheeks felt someone touch him. Drowsiness that is very heavy due to being unable to sleep well overnight makes it difficult for him to get full consciousness. His eyes only

open slightly. He caught a man sitting near the bed.

“Still sleepy, Honey? Sleep again. Mas will take care of you here,” said the man.

“Mas Far-han? Is this really your ka— Mas?” whispered Via who is still wracked with sleepiness.

“Iya, it's me.Sorry, yes, I didn't wait for you when we were struggling to give birth to our child. Thank you for fighting to give birth to a handsome child.”

“Mas Farhan, why just came? Why let me fight alone? Where has Mas been all this time?” isak Via's.

“Sorry, Dear. This masmu is busy because there are complicated problems experienced by branch companies. Didn't our family come with you yesterday?” tanyakanya.

“Tap different. Thankfully, everything went well. Don't go again, yeah!” rengek Via's.

Via straightened his body that had been sleeping with a slanted position. He clenched tightly to the body of the man in blue who was sitting on the edge of the bed while opening his dress.

Peukan Via was a bit of a surprise. But only a split second. Because, the man immediately returned Via's embrace. He rubbed the head of Via which was covered in a brown hijab.

Via started sobbing. His tears began to wash over the blue shirt of the man he was hugging. For a few seconds Via dissolved in his feelings.

“Who are you? Why are you saying Mas Farhan and entering my room?” snapped Via while releasing his embrace. His eyes stared intently at the man in front of him.

“Of course I'm Farhan, your husband. You like to joke, anyway?” he looked back at Via.

The man jumped in shock as their gazes clashed. He looks so nervous.

“Si—who are you? Isn't this my wife's nursery?” screech the man.

“Of course I'm a patient of this room. Why are you calling me Mas Farhan, hem? What is your destination?” ask Via again. His eyes radiate anger.

“I am indeed Farhan. I'm not lying. I want to meet my wife who just gave birth last night.” explained the man who claimed Farhan.

He tries to control his emotions. His eyes caught the name tag embedded in the blue shirt the man was wearing. The name tag is named Mohamad Farhan. Via grunted annoyedly.

“Your wife is treated in what room number? ask Via flat.

“God, my wife is in room 103. Hence, I came straight here.”

“This room 102. Room 103 on the right of this room,” said Via,

“O yes? Sorry, then. I really didn't know that this room wasn't my wife's nursery. Forgive me, yes,” pinta the man expectantly. He moved his seat away from Via

Via does not have the heart to get angry. He believed that the man had the wrong room.

“Then, I say goodbye. Again, I apologize for my carelessness. I really did not accidentally.”

Via nodded. He cannot refuse a sincere apology.

After the man left, Via circulated the gaze throughout the room. He didn't find Mum Inah.

“Bu Inah! Where is Mom Inah? Mom Stay!” Via calling.

The door opened, followed by the appearance of Bu Inah.

“Iya, Ma'am. It's me, new from the cafeteria,” replied Bu Inah.

Via breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he saw Bu Inah.

“Oh, so. An unknown man entered the room. Turns out he misread the room number,” Via said.

“I'm sorry. I'm very careless,” said Bu Inah while looking down, "Mbak Via is nothing like that guy, right?"

“But I hugged him. Oh, what a shame. I hugged a man who wasn't my mahram, not my husband. Astarghfirullahal. This is because his name is also Farhan and I am still sleepy. Mas Farhan, don't you miss me? Don't you want to see our son?”

“Mbak Via want to drink juice?” ma'am Inah's voice shocked Via. Via's daydreams instantly fell apart.

“ah, eng—ngak. Via has not yet been filled. Via want to try the road again,” replied Via.

Via sliding his body to the edge of the bed. He slowly lowered his legs and tried to stand by the drip pole.

“Let me bring you the infusion bottle. Ma'am Via want to come out?” Ms. Inah offered.

“Bby too. It's been three days since Via was locked up. Sit on the terrace deh.”

With a limp Via dragged his feet slowly. Bu Inah was standing by his side. Pain in the former operation? Don't ask! Of course it still feels so painful. Via held that feeling with all his might.

Finally, Via managed to get near the door. The path is like a snail makes it take a few minutes to step approximately 5 meters. His steps stopped as his ears caught the conversation

saying her name. He signaled to Mother Inah to be quiet.

“Baby Via has problems with his lungs. Mother knows for herself that the baby was born prematurely at the age of 31 weeks less. Of course his lungs are not mature yet,” said one man.

“It takes how long to be treated in the incubator?”

“Dad can't be sure. It will obviously not be less than a week. Possible between 2 to 4 weeks. Depending on condition.”

Via was sure that the one who was talking outside was his father and foster mother. She is still waiting for the next conversation so she can know the condition of her baby.

“Usually how long?” ma Aisyah's voice was heard asking.

“As Dad said earlier, 2 to 4 weeks. That's what's improving. In addition to his lungs, he also showed yellow symptoms earlier. Later will be observed the need not irradiation.” Doctor Haris's turn

speak.

“What is the overall assessment? He has a chance of survival, right? Answer honestly, Dad!” Bu Aisyah's voice sounded anxious.

Via shuddered at the question of his mother. He chose to be quiet to hear his father's answer. If he comes out, maybe Dr. Haris won't speak honestly.

“Iya, Mother. The chances are pretty big, though. The BB is up too. He is over 28 weeks old. So the chances are still great.”

Hearing Haris's reply, Via was relieved. However, she still leaves concerns with the condition of the organs in her baby. He decided to go out, asking directly.

“Baby Via can still be handled here, Yah?’ ask Via.

Mr. Haris and Ms. Aisyah were surprised to not expect Via to come out. They look nervous.

“Daddy, answer the question Via honestly! Via has heard what Dad and Mommy talked about earlier,” said Via again.

“Iya, Via. Your baby can still be handled here. The condition of your baby is still natural for premature babies God willing not until a month he can be taken home,” said doctor Haris after being able to master

selves.

“What if Via stays in hospital? Via doesn't want to be away from him. Although Via is not beside him, at least Via immediately knows that there is nothing,” pinta Via is hopeful.

Mr. Haris and Ms. Aisyah looked at each other. They nodded together as if they had come to an agreement.

“Let's talk to the nurses. Now, Via focus on healing Via, yes!” doctor Haris replied gently.

Via nodded in agreement. He returned to his room accompanied by Bu Inah. Via undoes the original intention of wanting to sit on the porch.

Ms. Aisyah tailed behind Via. He still wears his Eragam service.

“Have squeezed ASI yet?” ask Ms. Aisyah.

“Already, can be about 60 ml. Earlier Bu Inah put it in the refrigerator,” replied Via while sitting on his mattress.

“Good, there's been progress. Take care of your food intake, yes!” a Message from Ms. Aisyah.

Via nodded. Whatever she's gonna do for the baby.  He did not want to waste the figure that Farhan left for him.

The young mother was determined to get well soon. She should be able to care for her baby, not rely on anyone else. Via hopes that that day she can see her baby even though she can't carry it. Meanwhile, just look at it every day to slightly treat kangennya to the father of the baby.
