DEVANYE. STILL LOVING YOU
part 168's

It's time for Mel to give birth. Everyone was very much waiting with anxious expectations. Mama, papa, Alex's family. Me and my little family were also waiting for Mel's sister who was in the delivery room.

It felt thrilling, but I had experienced it twice even though I remember giving birth to Daniel only!

"Dude, Devan!" call Mama Linda while approaching us. Papa was beside her.

"You guys just go home. Mama doesn't know when the baby will be born, pity your child if you wait too long here!" mama rubbed Axel's head in Devan's sling.

"Yes, Nye! You guys just go home. Bring papa's grandson home. Pity them for waiting so long here. Later after the baby comes out we'll give you some news!" said papa. I'm glad that you can accept me and the kids. It's not even awkward to mention 'papa's grandson'. Happy heart.

"But I want to wait for Mel lahiran ma!" my spoken.

"Don't be selfish! You are the parent of two children. From now on you should think about your child's situation! It's not good for the kids in the hospital for too long!" mama pinched my cheek.

"It hurts!" I groaned, rubbing this cheek.

"Yes, Anye's home. But soon Anye ya ma, if the baby is born!" I said with a spoiled tone.

"Yes!" say mama.

I am so sorry that I went home. True said the children's mama is not good to be in the hospital for long. Daniel and Axel are bored there too.

"A long-born baby, huh ma?" daniel asked as we drove through the streets. We've been waiting almost three hours for the birth of Mel's baby sister.

"Yes, that's it, Niel! Wh why? You want to see Mel's baby mother?" my many. Daniel nodded.

"Later, grandma will call us if the baby is born!" my spoken. Daniel nodded then he put his head on the back of the chair.

I've been waiting for almost two hours. Glancing at hpku and hp Devan, waiting for news from mama, but still no phone from there.

"Why is it all this time?" muttered.

"What's up, honey?" Devan just got out of the bathroom.

"Sister Mel. No word from there!" my spoken.

"You worried?" i'm nodding.

"If you want to go there, just go. The kids are sleeping too. Let me take care!" devan. I thought for a second, afraid that Axel would cry if he woke up and I wasn't there!

"Just go. Don't worry about the kids, plus there's Hanson helping to look after them!" devan. I'm still silent.

"Don't worry!" he said it again while shuffling my hair.

I rushed to the hospital with a bodyguard. Even though I now have Aditama status but I also don't want to make you worry. Still I took one bodyguard for me, Hanson for Daniel, and Devan stayed with Seno! Years have passed and I have never seen the man laugh. Never laugh, a smile is never seen!

Arriving at the hospital, I rushed to the delivery room. Everyone is still waiting there. During that time of delivery, Mel?

"Not born yet, ma?" I asked my mother who already looked pale in face.

"Doctors suggest to cessar but Melati refuses!" say mama. "Mama's afraid of Anye!" I hugged my mom and calmed down.

The atmosphere is really stressful out here. Didn't I expect to stretch this out, did Sam and dad feel the same way when I gave birth to Daniel first?

An hour passed again. Mama already looks tired, but reluctant to rest, still faithfully waiting for the birth of her son Mel.

I just finished calling Devan asking the kids, they're still asleep. I'm a little calm!

The nurse came out of the room half-run, and she soon returned with two infusion gourds in her hands. Mom and I looked at each other, and Dad... He was silent, whatever he was thinking, papa occasionally glanced at the door, then looked down again. His mouth twitched, maybe he was making a prayer.

Waiting and still waiting. I feel impatient, want to break down the door and yell at Mel's sister to do the cessar alone!

Door open! A nurse came out.

"The baby's born, girl!" and there was a faint sound of baby crying from inside there. And finally!

We were thankful, even my mom was drowning on my shoulder. Her crying was slow but slow. Surely mama is relieved because Mel's sister has gone through several hours of difficult times.

"Finally, ma. My baby sister Mel was born too!" my mother nodded my words.

Alex came out of there, his face looking very happy. A smile never leaves his lips.

"Mama!" Alex came and hugged my mom. "Finally my son was born too, ma!" Mama nods, cries suddenly break, Alex turns to embrace papa. What a beautiful relationship between them. And I used to... I was just with my father and Samuel, and some bodyguards were standing guard outside. I'm envious? Yep!

"God!" Alex now comes up to me and stretches out his hand. Does he want to hug me? Nah! Someone will get angry if we hug!

"Don't hug me Alex, Mel's sister will get angry!" i warned. He stopped and pulled his hand, scratching his non-itchy neck. Smiling grimacing.

"Not Melati, but Devan too, right?!" we laughed together. Yes, he is right! They are both jealous!

"Congratulations on the birth of your baby." I extended my hand to her, and greeted her warmly.

"Thanks! I finally know what it's like to be a father!" said proud.

Sis Mel was moved to the hospital room, everyone was very happy to welcome the birth of baby Tiana who is now sleeping in a crib. He's so small. Her cheeks were red, her whole face was similar to Alex's, except her small nose was similar to Mel's sister. Her eyelashes are flattened, there are also dimples on her right cheek. She's cute and adorable!

"Why does he look like his father?!" chirps, Mel doesn't accept.

"If you look like someone else, aren't you afraid to be a question?" I said original, looking back and stroking the soft cheeks of baby Tiana. He still remained asleep without being disturbed because of my treatment. He's funny!

"But why doesn't he look like me!" ask Mel.

"That's because you hate his father so much, so your son looks like Alex!" mama who just came out of the bathroom heard Mel's words. Hearing the reply from mama, sister Mel grunted bitterly.

"Why in the hell, if our son looks like me? I'm his father!" said Alex who sat in the gurney owned by his wife. He didn't seem to accept the words of his wife.

"Huhh, hick! Cheating!" brother Mel grunts. Geez, sister Mel can also behave like this!

"What gives birth to pain, which?" alex asked while feeding a banana cut to Mel's sister.

"You think?" brother Mel asked back, he glanced back.

"I feel sorry for you." Alex takes Mel's brother's hand and kisses him affectionately. "I'm sorry, because of me, you're in pain!" Back Alex kisses Mel's brother's hand with a wave. Brother Mel blushed, his cheeks red. They are so sweet. It's very different from how Alex treated Devan first on Mel's sister. Although Mel's sister loved Devan very much before, but she was never this red as her face. Never been embarrassed like this.

"Mama!" the sound of the cry of a child rang out breaking my daydream. I looked towards the origin of the voice. Daniel ran over to me, and behind him was the same Axel running with his tiny legs. Devan smiled casually walking towards us.

"The evil mama didn't wake me up!" Daniel.

"Sorry, you slept so my mom stayed. Look at this baby Tiana!" point me at Daniel. As Daniel's face turned bright, his lips fell into a smile.

"Mama! ndong!" Axel had reached near my feet, he made a slightly shrill voice. Both of his hands were stretched out upwards asking in a carrying. Although both I get used to the Indonesian language, but here Axel is more proficient with the language, while Daniel is sometimes still wrong in his pronunciation, also occasionally tucked in English or French when he speaks.

"Ah mama's son, is awake. Want to see brother, baby?" I took Axel and carried him. Axel's eyes twitched he tilted his head to see a creature smaller than him was sleeping soundly.

"The name's baby Tiana!"

"Dad!" said Axel pointed to baby Tiana, most Axel follow the word suffix only! He hasn't been very good at talking.

"Mom take Baby Tiana home!" Daniel exclaims.

"Mah! Ana. Mah!" Axel supported his brother's speech. He smiled, chuckling as he jumped around in my sling. I think Axel likes baby Tiana.

"Can't be darling. Baby Tiana should be the same as Mom Melati. Can't come with us home!" I tried to explain, but what happened? Axel cut, his lower lip he pulled up, his eyes glazed over.

"Hiks... Hiks.." oh my goodness, this boy.

"Axhel!" call brother Mel. Axel turned his head. "Here, mother's son!" brother Mel stretched out both hands at Axel. Axel was silent. "Axel wants baby Tiana?" Axel lirih nodded. Oh... He replied even with a nod of his head. I can't believe this! Usually Axel cue on other than us who are at home!

"Here!" I'm approaching Mel's sister. I sat Axel next to Mel's sister. Mel persuaded Axel not to cry. The boy looked at me, then at Mel's sister.

"Please bring baby Tiana!" said Brother Mel. Alex takes baby Tiana from the box and brings her closer to Mel's sister. Sis Mel looked at baby Tiana, Axel looked at the little princess silently, his eyes not separated from baby Tiana.

Slowly his hand was stretched out. Axel smiled as he grabbed the tiny baby's hand.

"Dad!" fun. I glanced at Devan who had noticed Axel's behavior. Devan smiles.

"Should we give Axel a sister?" whispered Devan.
