A Cup of Black Coffee
Chapter 46

Flasbacks.

That morning the Nugraha family was in a panic because their first daughter-in-law named Maya was about to give birth to her second child.

Maya who was already in pain at the age of eight months of pregnancy made all her extended family worried.

"Okay, how is this, very sick," complained Maya.

His two-year-old son was also suddenly fussy in the middle of the commotion.

"It looks like Maya's about to give birth to Yo!" maya's mother-in-law said to her son.

"What time is Mom? The age of the Maya content is only eight months?" inexplicably.

"This you, let alone eight months, seven is not a creature!" snapped in-law Maya.

"Have it been, you guys are even noisier here, let's go to the hospital soon," said Maya's father-in-law.

They're heading to the hospital soon. There Maya meets her sister-in-law who works as a nurse.

"Mom, Mom, why's Mom Maya?" tanyanya's worried.

"Don't you see that your sister-in-law is in pain? Might want to give birth, you barren son-in-law!" maki's mother-in-law.

Hamidah could only clutch at the end of his clothes hearing his mother-in-law's insults.

Though she asked out of worry, but her mother-in-law's response always scolded her.

Maya and herself are both daughters-in-law in the Nugraha family, but the treatment of her in-laws is very different.

Her parents-in-law loved Maya more, her daughter-in-law who was rich and also who could give them offspring.

While he who is only a nurse and from a simple family must feel alienated by his own in-laws.

"I'll call the Doctor" Hamidah said.

He then went to see the doctor immediately so that he could help his brother-in-law immediately.

Sure enough, Maya has contracted and is about to give birth to her second son. But because he had preeclampsia, the doctor decided to perform surgery to save both of them.

Tyo as a husband can only resign as long as his son and wife can survive.

Before long the sound of baby crying was heard, making all the families waiting for Maya's birth in front of the operating room sigh in relief.

Elsewhere, Rukayah was also about to give birth to her first son. She gave birth in a regular maternity room, because she could give birth normally.

That day happiness fell on two mothers who gave birth to a son at the same time only with different conditions.

The baby was in a special baby care room.

Maya who came from the family was in the care of the executive class at the hospital, while Rukayah who was currently economically depressed had to accept the fate of being treated in third grade, because of her husband's request.

This is the first time the two met in the nursery after giving birth.

Maya was only able to visit her baby after two days in post-surgery care, while Rukayah always routinely visited her son.

Rukayah stared enviously at this married couple in front of her.

Tyo, Maya's husband is very attentive, what else do they look very happy over the birth of their son.

Rukayah could only stare at her son. The husband even just once visited him, the man reasoned if he was a lot of work in his office so he could not take a long leave.

All of this was noticed by Hamidah. His heart was also jealous when he saw the happiness of his sister-in-law whom he always considered lucky.

A handsome husband, having children and a promising job and being loved by in-laws, that's the difference in the fate of the two.

He approached Rukayah who was sad when she looked at her brother-in-law.

"Why Ma'am?" ask Rukayah kindly.

"Ah no sus, no papa, when can I go home?" ask Rukayah to Hamidah.

Hamidah is a nurse in the mother and child section, so she has access to the baby's room.

"Wait for a visit from the doctor. Why does she look sad?" ask Hamidah to find out.

"Look at the family there looks very harmonious and happy, Sus" he explained.

The gentle-hearted woman suddenly changed due to the hurt feelings created by her in-laws.

"You want me to help you?" hamidah said suddenly to Rukayah.

Rukayah who does not know Hamidah and also the meaning of his words can only be confused.

"Let's talk outside!" bring Hamidah.

Rukayah then put the baby back into her box.

The two of them left the hospital and sat in a garden. Hamidah pushed Rukayah's wheelchair to get there.

"What's wrong? What do you mean by that?" ask Rukayah directly.

"Are you ready? I have a way for your son to live a good life" Hamidah replied ambiguously.

"meaning?" Rukayah does not understand where Hamidah talks are going.

"The family you saw was a wealthy family. If you want, I can exchange your baby so your son can live happily, how?" tawar Hamidah's.

Rukayah was shocked to not believe Hamidah's words. The woman felt Hamidah's idea was a crazy one.

Why would a woman give you an idea by swapping her baby.

Rukayah also did not know what purpose Hamidah did that.

"Why are you saying that crazy thing? What's your real purpose?" Rukayah Cecar.

Hamidah stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

"They are my family, more precisely my sister-in-law. Honestly, I often hurt with them, so I want to repay them," explained Hamidah without any hesitation.

Rukayah was silent, one side of her heart wanted to follow Hamidah's idea. But as a new mother she did not want to let go of the son she had long wanted present in her womb.

During the two years of marriage, Rukayah was able to get pregnant, so she still could not bear to let go of her son, although she knew Hamidah promised a bright future for her son.

"I'll take care of your son. Your child will be the heir to a rich family someday, then after that you can show yourself as his biological parents, how?" hamidah's Promise.

The sweet words of Hamidah made Rukayah confirm her intention to change their son.

One of the conditions that must be fulfilled by Rukayah is not to disappear and always have to connect with her.

He also asked for the brother-in-law's son to be named Ragil, because he knew that the child was indeed the youngest and last son of Maya, who was, because after this Maya is not allowed to get pregnant again because of the condition of her uterus that has been problematic.

Rukayah agrees with Hamidah's idea. The two then returned to Rukayah's treatment room.

At that time there were no surveillance cameras, making it easier for Hamidah to exchange Rukayah's baby with Maya's baby.

The faces of the two babies who still look the same will not be easily distinguished.

Hamidah looked at his nephew, two sides of his heart cried out, one of them asked him to undo his intentions, while the evil side demanded to immediately avenge his heartache.

He lost to his evil thoughts to the heart of exchanging the two babies.

Hamidah kissed Azam's puffed cheeks before finally swapping out the identity bracelets in the babies' hands.

"What's wrong?" ask a nurse who suddenly went in there.

Hamidah smiled stiffly, the woman who had worked with Hamidah for a long time understood the woman's feelings.

Not once did she see Hamidah stare at the babies, because she was eager to get pregnant and have a baby.

"Patiently yes," said Hamidah's calming colleague.

Hamidah could only nod stiffly, because he was nervous for fear of being discovered, in fact his partner was not suspicious at all.

That day, Rukayah went to take baby Ragil and the next day Maya came home with baby Azam.
