“I have come not to bring wisdom to you. But I came to remind you that I'm going to mess with you,” Corona said.

“I just ordered fast food from a restaurant at the quarter-way. Please deliver my room now, tell the receptionist,” Steve said in a voice on his intercom.
A moment after saying, he instantly closed the voice call. But the voice of the woman in the intercom replied, “Alright Mr.” Steve heard it at a glance, but did not pay too much attention to it clearly.
“Sials. Why did I forget to bring my phone today.”
Because of the rush, Steve's cellphone that he left on the mattress in the end forgot to put in his pants pocket. Although he had felt many times all the clothes he was wearing, still the result was nil. The lifeless flat object had indeed forgotten to carry.
Although the phone was not carried away, but Steve's mind was still focused on the computer screen in front of him. Why worry about something that is not so important. Steve thought so. But—
“Oh. Damnit. What if my wife calls. Uh. I should have called earlier if he came here to bring my phone. But stupidly me, home phone number alone I don't memorize. BullShit!”
That's the bad news. House numbers are not something that is difficult to memorize, but Steve is lazy to remember.
That door that kept opening, he noticed once in a while. Steve was waiting for Dinda, the next time he arrived. The food he just ordered.
Steve wasn't sure Dinda was coming. She told him this morning that Dinda no longer needed to send him food. Who knows beyond a doubt. Like last week, Dinda in fact still deliver lunch even though Steve has said no need to bother himself.
“Excuse me..”.
There was a female voice coming in, immediately Steve's eyes squinted towards the door. And he found a female employee coming into his room. Receptionist section. I thought my wife was coming.
“Sorry Sir. I came to disturb. I want to deliver the food you just ordered.”
“Put it on the table there,” replied Steve. His view has not changed. He stays on his computer screen. Even though he had a glimpse of it, because his mind was fixed on one person. Dinda.
“Excuse.”
“Wait,” Steve stops. The woman was about to pass. “Did my wife call the receptionist? Or home number calling.”
This woman shakes. “No. We did not get any calls from Bu Dinda,” he said in reply.
Steve glanced at the watch in his hand. “Any. Usually Dinda has come at this hour. But why now he has not come,” he said rather astonished.
“Is there anything else I can help sir?”
The woman asked. Steve replied with a headband. Because Steve no longer needed his help, this woman passed.
“Excuse.”
Why my wife hasn't come. Did he really not come today?
Steve thinks of Dinda at home. He was not so worried about Dinda either. Stevie's at home, and she told her sister to look after Dinda.
However, his intercom this time read, Steve dialed the call. A call interrupted his work.
As usual, calls from the intercom were rarely Steve said start. And Steve never asked me first why they called his intercom.
Because usually the receptionist or the others will talk first. Steve doesn't like to be long-winded, so talking to the point is what Steve wants.
“Good day Sir. We got word from Mrs Stevie. She said Ms. Dinda is currently in the hospital, she is going to give birth soon.”
“What?” Steve was shocked. Hearing this sudden remark, his heart nearly fell out. “When it happened.”
“A few minutes ago.”
Whuts. I didn't hear wrong, did I?
At once Steve could say nothing but a whack of surprise. Damn, Steve's phone wasn't brought. She must have thought Stevie called her earlier.
“Tell me which hospital my wife was brought in?” ask Steve again.
“In the hospital Mother and child Mother asih.”
After getting an answer from the intercom, Steve immediately turned it off. Roughly speaking, even the office intercom did not stick perfectly in its place, instead it fell hanging.
Steve picked up the suit he had pinned on his chair. Wearing it with lightning, then grabbing the car keys he hung near the door.
“Dinda. Hang in. I'll be here soon darling.”
Steve ran into the office lobby. His feelings are currently mixed. Happy and worried, that was what dominated his mind.
“If there is an important report you want to report to me. In keep, until I get back in the office,” Steve said to the two women guarding the reception desk.
The two women nodded, but looked at each other in astonishment.
“Why sir Steve hastily so yes. Did something happen. Not as usual.”
One of the receptionists noticed. Steve got in his car in a hurry. It must have indicated he was chasing time. While the friend next to him just shrugged, he did not know anything even though his friend asked.
“Could be something happened suddenly.”
......
Steve wants a quick hunt. He wanted to get to the hospital in time. However, arriving in front of the automatic cross gate, Steve forcibly stopped his car.
“What's up!”
Steve looked up his head high. See what's going on in front of his office exit. This black car, blocked by a lot of road bullies.
Many people crowded around, Steve repeatedly pressed the horn of his car so that people who struggle in this one place go.
But what power. They are indifferent. Instead of them stepping aside, there's money they're yelling at the car owner.
“Ah shit!” steve shouted inching. He hit his wheel, venting anger at the people in front of him. Steve pushed back the car horn until it repeated, but nothing changed. “Ah. Why are these people so deaf. They're disrupting my path.”
Steve knew that in front of him there was an accident. Those people must be waiting for an ambulance, while police officers are diverting heavy traffic due to this accident.
Steve got out of his car, slammed the door rough. Steve sometimes ruffles his hair, occasionally he kicks the tires of the car.
“Bigger! Why are the jni people fussing themselves. Like never seeing anyone crash there,” umpatnya deeply upset.
Steve was more upset, because when glancing at the watch in the hand. He had already been nearly ten minutes stuck on this dense road.
“Ah. Got to figure out how this is. There's no way that I ran to the hospital.”
As his eyes gradually whistled around, from within his office. Oh, the fast food delivery guy just wanted out. And he just passed in front of Steve who was confused.
“There is no other way. This is the only way.”
Steve's not the name to give up. The man who was carrying the red bike, he stopped. There's no way he's headed to the side of the road looking for a cab. No one crossed, the road was blocked because there was an accident right in front of his office road.
“Take me to the hospital now.”
Steve stopped the man. And the look on the face of this fast food delivery man was just stumped.
“I?” said repeat.
“Yes who else.”
Steve was sitting in the back seat of the bike. This guy's still not walking. He was fixated because the unacquainted man selflessly asked for help.
“What are you thinking. Let's go now. We don't have much time!” steve said while patting her shoulder. The sign must go.
“But you are not wearing a helmet.”
“What concern. I'll pay the fine for the ticket. Depart now for the hospital. My wife is going to give birth.”
“Okay, okay fine. Strong handle, we will leave now.”
Steve pushers, and this guy pulls the gas pedal straight off the bike. This black suit is not suitable for riding a motorcycle. He's the CEO of a big company, but what can I do. That's all that can help Steve. Although only riding a motorbike, the charm of this prospective father cannot be denied.
Actually Steve doesn't know how to motor. If he knew, he would have taken this bike. Then leave the father to deliver this food.
Dinda. You hold on, baby. I'll be here soon. You must be strong. I'm not gonna let you go into labor without me.
“Faster again. I don't want my wife waiting for me too long!” shouts Steve hunt.
“Right turn. Hospital Mother and Mother Child asih!”
The motorbike that was riding Steve drove fast, until it arrived at the hospital. Steve got down in a hurry to leave this man without saying thank you.
The man who delivered it, could only shake his head.
“Men bebal.”
Shortly after he noticed Steve disappearing inside the hospital building, this man left.
No matter what, Steve ran a little in the hospital hallways. Didn't even say thank you to that guy.
“Where is the delivery room?” steve asked the nurse who passed him in the corridor. “My wife will be in labor today.”
“Please ask in administration section.” The nurse pointed out, while she was pushing a trolley containing surgical tools.
Steve did not waste his time, he went straight to the administration room as recommended by the nurse.
“Where is the delivery room. A patient will give birth at this hospital. And she's just about to give birth here.”
Upon arrival in the administration room, the anxious face and sweat that flooded this face could not control themselves.
“Follow this corridor. Turn right, at the end of the hallway. There the room,” said the nurse replied.
“Thank you!”
Steve came back running small, heading to the delivery room. From the end of the hallway, he saw Stevie, Yuri's mother, also Niko and Miko were already sitting on the bench of the hospital hallway.
They had arrived earlier than him.
Steve arranged his breath slowly. He's trying to normalize this high-pull oxygen level.
Steve is pale. Moreover, the four people were seen sitting in trembling. Stevie was seen biting his finger. And Steve poultice, usually Stevie has stiffened if it bites a finger like this.
“How is he doing brother. Has Dinda given birth?”
The people who were there were silent for a moment. They also do not know exactly how Dinda is inside.
“It's been hours Dinda's inside. And there's no word yet,” Stevie said replying.
Steve disgraces. His face was tense, his chest was pounding. The breath was still a bit breathless, hard to pull.
Lord. I beg. Please save my wife and child.
I know that I never begged or prayed to you.
But this time. I'm just asking you to save the people I love. I never asked for anything. Even if I ignore you.
But this time. Only to you I beg. Please, save my wife and my son. Don't let them get hurt one bit. Lord, please take care of my wife.
Steve went back and forth like an iron in front of his brother. Sometimes he bites his thumb. The rage had not subsided, even Steve scratched his head, a sign that he was unable to calm down. Stevie who saw it, grunting, he was dizzy to see his sister who was disheveled.
“You sit down first. I'm dizzy to see you go back and forth like this.”
“How can I shut up brother. My wife inside has no news.”
“Sabar Nak Steve,” said Mother Yuri who sat in another elongated chair. “This is Dinda's first birth. Since you married young, giving birth to your first child is a bit difficult. And also, the process is a bit long. Because the way out of giving birth to the first baby is different from giving birth to the second or third baby.”
Yes, Steve has heard the myth about young marriage. Where the wife who gave birth to the first child must be a bit difficult. But this is just a myth that is told by word of mouth. Steve doesn't believe it. Whatever the form, Steve doesn't believe in jokes.
“I'm very worried Mom. My wife inside had no news at all. I can't be quiet.”
“Steve's brother take it easy first. Don't worry too much. After all the doctors inside have not provided any information, it means they are trying.”
Miko tries to develop an atmosphere to be more conducive. At least that's all he can do.
“Suer. Because Stevie's brother called me, in the end my job was abandoned.”
Miko grumbled softly. The words were heard by Niko. And his sister said.
“Sama brother. My job is also lagging behind because of Stevie.”
They're aligned. And that's why they're always the same. In every way.
Upset because Steve never sat down despite being ordered by Stevie, his brother pulled Steve.
“You should know. I brought Dinda here in a state of shame,” Stevie said interrogating her.
Steve in the lyrics with a sharp look. When Stevie interrupts him, Steve can only be quiet. He was afraid, his eyes were sharp.
“And one more,” Stevie added. “You should know. I haven't been in the shower. No face washing, just a toothbrush. Everyone is looking at me now. Moreover, your wife's amniotic fluid makes me have to decrease my ego. I'm upset. And as her husband, you have to take responsibility for all this. For all the shame I've endured. Hiks.”
Steve scrunched his forehead, repeatedly blinking his eyes. Confused, I don't know what's on her brother's mind.
“Why should I?”
“Why should I?” Stevie repeated this harsh remark of her sister. His mouth is komat Kamit melted. “Because you're her husband. That's why you have to take responsibility. Your wife's amniotic relationship makes me look like a gembelan maid.”
“That's reasonable brother. Stevie's sister's at home. And it should be Stevie's sister helping Dinda the trouble.”
“But as her husband you also have to be ready dong. If there is something important like this, the phone should not be left on but not answered. You should know that a husband should be ready.”
Stevie took care of her sister. Because Steve was guilty of not answering his phone.
“I forgot to bring my phone. And that's what I left on the bed. I didn't intentionally lift it. I swear, I was in a hurry this morning, so I forgot to bring my phone.”
Steve answered that. Steve was honest. But not in Stevie's eyes. He was angry with Steve.
“Reason!”
“Really brother. I'm not lying.”
“Only did you lie to me. I broke your leg bones!”
Glug. It was hard to swallow that saliva. Stevie's threat was cruel.
Yuri's mother bawled at the two children fighting like a child. Steve was bullied by Stevie. And there was no fight from him.
Although inside did not know how her fate was, at least Mother Yuri who was being tense. Feeling comforted because this brother and sister reminded Dinda with her two sisters. Not as cruel as Stevie.
From the soundproof delivery room, the doctor who handled Dinda's labor came out. His head was wrapped in plastic like a shampooing woman. His hands were wrapped in medical gloves, no matter what water was wetting the gloves. Steve doesn't understand. Yeah, Dinda's been in there for hours, and only now is the doctor out. Steve glanced at the watch in his hand, currently showing it almost night. Since that afternoon.
“How is the doctor my wife?” sambar Steve is impatient.
“Oh. You her husband?” this fat lady in glasses asked. She is a maternity doctor, her face contrasts with the face of women who are experienced in handling labor.
Steve nodded. “Iya. I'm her husband.”
The doctor smiled. Think how lucky you are to have a caring husband inside.
“Mother and child are in good health. The baby is a boy, handsome like his father. In a moment will be taken out by the nurse, currently your baby is bathing.”
“Sgratitude.” I was scared of Steve. His wife's nightmare did not happen.
“Then, I excuse you,” said the doctor.
“Good doc. Thanks for the help.”
The doctor smiled kindly, then he left the room where Dinda had given birth.
Steve's hunting, he's going inside first. The sound of the baby's cry broke the atmosphere of anxiety earlier.
“Dinda!”
SERIATE
HAPPY BUMPY DAY.
