Nata sat pensively in the waiting chair of the treatment room. In his hand, he still holds a piece of USG paper that he looks fixedly at. The rumbling back he felt in his chest cavity when he remembered that he would soon become a father. Her lips smiled slightly as she recalled Rachel's chatter a while ago
“Mas, now again the trend of calling father and mother. Later if I have a child she wants to call mom. He called him father. Can ya?” Rachel leaned slightly towards Nata with a hopeful look.
"Mr? I was called father?" he looked in wonder at his wife.
Nata did not understand Rachel's thoughts, why she was happy and excited to prepare a nickname for Rachel and herself. But this time, it felt like he understood how the hot taste was present filling his chest cavity.
Especially when the doctor congratulated and clasped his hands tightly. It is as if you feel the happiness that should be felt by all married couples who have been waiting for the presence of the fruit of their love.
“Bby.” Nata's lips murmured softly.
“You mother and I father.” Her baby with teary eyes.
“Let's call ourselves by that call, Chel.” Said Nata while sobbing. He lowered his head even lower and let the drooping tears wash over the ceramic floor he was peeping on.
It was stifling, when he imagined that he would be able to live happily with Rachel, but was destroyed at the same time when he remembered the assertiveness of Rachel who wanted to separate from him. It was also because of his stupidity. Nata was crying all by herself without anyone knowing. It felt like he wanted to shout as loudly as possible to dispel the regret that filled his chest cavity.
His chest felt tight and made it difficult to breathe.
For a long time he was silent like this. He let his tears stop by itself without any effort for him to pause. He gave himself a chance to let out the emotions that had been damning his stupidity for so long before he finally thought of a way to go back to chasing Rachel.
The one thing he had in mind right now, he would do it earnestly. He will chase Rachel until Rachel gives up and gives him a second chance.
After feeling relieved, Nata moved from her place. He kept the USG in his wallet, along with a photo of his marriage with Rachel which he reduced. Later, if he misses her, he can open his wallet and look at the two most meaningful people in his life.
“Hemh,” Reply Nata.
“Where are you?” ivana asked in a hurry.
“Still in hospital. Just got out of Rachel's nursery.” She looked back at Rachel's closed door.
“Then I went to hospital A. Mommy sick.” Said Ivana later.
“Hah? Pain?” nata's hearing was not very clear as Ivana spoke tremblingly.
It wasn't the answer Ivana gave, but the woman just ended her phone.
Not long after, a photo was sent by Ivana. A picture of Martha lying in a hospital bed with her breathing apparatus stuffing her mouth.
“Astrichesaaa!” nata grunts while gripping his phone tightly.
Without waiting for long, he immediately ran away from Rachel's treatment room and went after Ivana to another hospital.
What's with today, why do two women in her life have to be treated together in the hospital? Who should he be with until the end?
