When That Sense Is Present

32.Birth Light...

The wind blows on the trees. The thunderous sound boomed, As Antika started to feel pain in her stomach area. The feeling is mixed, maybe the time has come for the baby to see the world. He walked back and forth. Why should when alone the baby wriggling want to immediately see the world.

Antyka's forehead was already soaked with cold sweat, Luthfi, Zeindra Karin and also mama, none of whom she managed to contact. The house is in a state of desolation. They have a family event. By holding back the taste of Antyka tote a bag of preparation for childbirth. Trudging.

Lucky there is a Asih bik who is behind is cleaning the kitchen.

"Non Anty why?" the face of the pussy turned frantic when he saw a clear liquid seeping from behind Antyka's skirt.

"Find a bik taxi, it looks like I'm going to give birth to a bik" said as she held back the powerful contraction of the stomach.

There was a car that entered the yard of Antyka's house. A man in a formal suit ran through the rainfall. His heavy hand pressed the bell, which was at the door.

From inside the house bik Asih rushed to open the door, once he saw the figure that came he immediately shouted excitedly.

" Of Ibra .....Alhamdullian. Please non Antyka "

"Why bik ..., why Antyka..?" Ibra went straight into the house to find Antyka in pain.

Without much question Ibra immediately carried Antyka and asked Asih to paddle him so that Antyka was not exposed to rain water.

"Anty hold it, we go to the hospital" Ibra said after putting Antyka in the car in a comfortable position "Bik, please take care of Anty for a while. I need to concentrate on driving" . Bik Asih just nodded

Through the heavy rain Ibra drove his car to a nearby hospital. He just wants Antyka to be dealt with immediately.

POV Ibra

I don't know what destiny I'm living. My heart has been restless ever since. The car I was riding was directed to the residence of prof Damar Almarhum. It was as if some force was asking me to go to that house.

Honestly, I want to keep my promise to myself. I don't want to make Antyka's life more complicated by my presence nearby. I'm related to being the reason for the accusations as the third person in Antyka and Alif's divorce.

But I resigned with a sense of restlessness that asked and encouraged me to come to this house again. I happen to have a little business in Jakarta. And sure enough, when I came in the rain I found Antyka who was in need of help.

Lord, thank you for moving me to help people I love so much. I saw Antykaku enduring the pain. I stood beside him without understanding who I really am and what right I have to be next to him at this moment. I know this is the most important moment of his life.

I acted like her husband, I was a nervous man waiting for the birth of the first child. And I was happy, when the cry of the baby echoed, even I had the opportunity to chant the adhan and iqomah to the beautiful baby in my arms.

My chest shook after it was all over. I saw an exhausted Antyka falling asleep. I also watched the beautiful baby sleep. My knees are limp with the most important moment. There was a warm flowing stream. I am moved and happy, those I love are safe and well rested.

My sanity began to emerge from the fantasy role of a father when filling in data from Antyka and the father of the baby. I dialed Kak Luthfi's number, gave Antyka's whereabouts .

I was relieved and did not feel like I was asleep. But it wasn't long, I sensed someone standing up as if watching me. I opened my eyes, a man with blue eyes, a well-built body, a half-European face and thick black hair.

I remember, he's Mike the son-in-law of the Pradipta family. But what is he in front of me for now.

"Sorry interrupts your sleep, I'm Mike" Mike reached out trying to be friendly. I greeted him without feeling wrong. Antyka is a free woman. " Can I talk to you for a second? it's about Antyka"

Mike clasped the file in his hand, I glanced at it at a glance it was Antyka's patient data file. I remember it because I filled it myself.

" He's Alif's son ?" mike's voice was soft, the quiet man immediately asked the point.

I just kept quiet in a bitter smile. How they doubted the sanctity of Antyka, my mind restrained the emotions. I think I want to punch this guy. To avenge the pain for the humiliation of Antyka.

"I know he's Alif's son" Mike shut up for a moment. Watching my face. "I thought I'd be dealing with Antyka's family here. But even you. All right.., whatever your relationship is. I will not ban. Antyka deserves to be happy. Let us see him" Mike looked back at me, but he didn't wait for my answer the man just passed by.

To be honest there was relief in my heart, hearing Mike's words like that. They're not too Arogan, still thinking of Antyka's happiness. Just a few steps Mike walked Antyka's voice calling. Antyka had woken up from her sleep.

"Sister Mike..." Mike's approaching Antyka.

I can't believe the cold man rubbed Antyka's head gently. Staring at Antyka with a sad look. But his lips remained closed. I saw Antyka just staring, begging.

" Can I see it?" mike was polite.

Antyka is getting more and more tears. My heart aches with Antyka's heartache.

"Don't bring my daughter, she's all I have now" Antyka's cries broke. Mike quickly shook his head.

"Will not Anty, I just want to see her.she's yours.don't worry" then Antyka starts to calm down. Nodding his head, as if giving Mike permission to see his daughter. Mike leaves Antyka for the nursery. Tucked away my desire to follow the cold man. Of course I'm afraid he'll take beautiful princess Antyka.

I ignored Antyka's call that prevented me from following Mike to the nursery. It was easy for the man to get access inside. Among my panic I realized that this hospital was a hospital owned by the Pradipta family. It is only fitting that they quickly find out the whereabouts of Antyka who gave birth here.

From behind the glass I kept watching Mike carry his nephew.The man rubbed even shed tears. I don't know what's inside that guy's head. I was just being vigilant for all possibilities.

I stood in front of the entrance with my hands closed. As footsteps approached, Mike was already beside me.

" I won't hurt Antyka and my niece, they're our family. Thank you for helping them here" said Mike who seemed to understand my cautious attitude.

I was on the side of Antyka's bed he was already starting to be able to sit. I gave him a drink

"Sister Ibra thank you, for the umpteenth time brother Ibra helped Anty" Antyka back in glass. I could only smile, calming her feelings. Whatever I do, Anty, if you know, I love you so much.

Mama and Lutfi arrive, seeing Ibra feeding Antyka. They were stunned to not be able to say a word. Ibra finally realized their existence.

" Ma, Luthfi's sister..?"

" Ibra thank you" said Mama and Luthfi at the same time. Mama never stopped kissing Antyka while apologizing.

Not long after the sisters came to bring a beautiful baby Antyka. The baby was crying loudly, it was time to breastfeed. Luthfi asked Ibra out, to make room for Antyka to freely breastfeed her baby.

The two men headed for the hospital canteen. Ibra just felt her stomach hungry.

"It happened accidentally. I don't know where the urge is, I feel restless when I come to visit home. Anty was in pain and was going to the hospital. All by coincidence"

"Hmmm..." Luthfi took a breath, looking at the depth of Ibra said. " Do you still have the same feeling?, I'm sorry.." fidgeting so noticeably Luthfi's speech stopped. The man hesitates, gamang question that will make both awkward.

"If I could be honest, yes, but I know my whereabouts would make Antyka worse in the eyes of her ex-family husband. I'm going to go, sorry" Ibra looked down on the man so appreciative of Antyka. He relented to his feelings so that Antyka always looked perfect.

Luthfi held Ibra's hand and asked Ibra to sit quietly.

" I know, but I only care about Antyka's happiness, Ibra. Let Antyka choose. All these accusations are not true. Of all the men I have, I trust you more. I allow you to fight your feelings. But let Antyka choose her happiness"

There was a twinkle radiating through Ibra's eye. After hearing Luthfi's words. Even Ibra's face was red. She was so embarrassed that she showed happiness.

"Sir Luthfi, Mike was here. He knew Alif had a child. I'm sorry, I can't lie. I can't admit that the baby is mine"

"No problem, the truth is like that. The baby belongs to Alif, we will not cover up or hold them responsible, but I will not let them take the baby away" Luthfi asserted.

In the treatment room, the beautiful baby was already back asleep. Antyka kissed her delicate cheek. Her feelings were very happy, her life seemed to be perfect.

" Anty, what's the baby's name?" mama looked at the sleeping baby peacefully in Antyka's arms.

Antyka was silent for a moment. She hasn't even prepared a pretty name for her baby yet. If only Alif there surely he could discuss the name of their baby. She could also feel proud of successfully giving birth to such a beautiful daughter. His daughter's face is very similar to her childhood only differs on the shape of her small but thin lips similar to Alif's. Antyka put her baby on the side.

After thinking and considering. Antyka must give her a name immediately. This child will be the light of his life. " Ma, Antyinggin named the Light Danti pradipta "

"Beautiful, may be a light for his father's mother"

"Yes ma, although Mr. Alif has not seen it. Anty hopes one day she finds out. There's a light he can hug"

***

Luthfi forced the cashier section to accept his black card. Luthfi doesn't understand why they refuse

"Sorry sir there's no charge for the light baby and Antyka's mother at this hospital"

"You see again, listen we can afford to pay for the cost of giving birth here" Luthfi insisted she did not accept donations from the Alif family.

When the heated debate occurred Mike came at the same time. Pradipta's son-in-law was mediating tensions. Luthfi immediately showed an unhappy face.

"Luthfi, let us do something for the Light. You may hate us but please give Alif the right to bear the cost of Light, she's Alif's daughter" Mike said in a low voice. Notably Mike is trying not to Arogan. The cold man was suppressing his ego.

"I don't need any donations from you" Maki Luthfi

"We know, I'm sorry to offend you" Mike lowered his voice again.

Luthfi who strongly maintained her pride, melted a little to see Mike's sincerity and low attitude.

"Alright I don't want to make a fuss. But remember, next time don't interfere with our affairs"

"I will remember that, but for the Light we also have a right, even if it is just the news of his health. We know ourselves enough, we won't be greedy. As long as the Light is healthy and happy with you"

"I keep your promise" Luthfi said, leaving Mike still standing .

Mike breathed a sigh of relief, not in vain his efforts. Finally, Antyka's family can accept a little contribution from Alif's responsibility, through him. The Antyka family is very sensitive right now. Mike could not blame their allergic attitude on the Pradipta family. The Pradipta family had incised such a deep wound without being able to dodge it.

Mike wrote a message on his phone. Report to her in-laws if all Antyka's business is done. If they could, they would want to do more. But seeing the welcome from Antyka's family so sensitive he disengaged himself.

**

At the end of the earth there a couple of husband and wife were shedding tears. The happy news from Mike a little made their hearts healed. But unfortunately the happy news they want to give to Alif, they have not been able to convey.

Alif back drop after a while ago improved. Even now Alif has not been aware of the rest of the anesthetic after undergoing the umpteenth surgery. Haris sat in his chair. While the mother of Amalia is still in agreement with the chant of the sentence of praise for the Owner of the universe. In between his grief, he was still given the Light that illuminated his dark hope, which these few days enveloped.

"Alif must be aware, the Light will be the most powerful force for the spirit of Alif" Haris' father held the shoulders of the mother, who shook with tears.

"I also believe it" said the mother while cleaning her face.

" Be calm, look at the miracle that God has given us "Dad Haris shows us a picture of a tiny baby and also a short Vidio Light who is crying.

"Mike did the best thing for us. Mommy regrets having often treated him cold and ketus "There is regret in your heart.

"Yes, Mike has proven that he deserves the Lira. There is nothing more we regret. Everything that happens, it's best for us, Bun"

"Father's right. Mother wants to apologize to Mike right now, mother wants to make peace with your heart. Mother Iklas releases Lira for Mike. With the advantages and disadvantages of Mike"

From there, Mike who was in his room with his wife Lira, he stopped his activities with his wife and immediately took his cell phone that kept ringing fast. While covering his lower body he pressed the green button

"Assalamualaikum Yah" Mike gave his wife a code to keep quiet not moving teasing him.

" Mike's mom, thanks for everything"

"The same mother.."

" Mike..mother... ,mother ..mother apologize to you. Sorry for all your treatment with you all this time. Thank you for taking care of Lira. Sorry you've been doubting you all this time"

Mike was silent there was a sense of relief in his chest as if a barrier had been blushed. The cold man gently kissed the sleeping Lira. "I love you Lira, I can do anything to keep your feelings. I know you are the most important person in your life. I'd like to be treated anything by your mother for your sake" Mike clutched Lira's body in his arms. Tomorrow he will tell his wife about the happy news, the blessing of the mother. It's warmer than the night before. Because Mike knows Lira's face will glow brighter than usual.
