Gentleman Dignity
Chapters 1.5

The Red Umbrella (Nicholas Geoff)

.

The bus still hasn't arrived and Nicholas is dead of boredom. The rain is still heavy. Nicholas was itching to call one of his friends. I wish they could give him a ride. But he didn't. It is not wise to interfere with their activities. They work all week. And holidays are the days they wait for. Nicholas leaned back in the coachman waiting while sleepy.

“You didn't come home today?” pinky's soft voice sounded. He's calling someone.

"Just take good care of yourself. I love you too. See you later.”

It turns out that Pinky already has a boyfriend. Anyway, why if she doesn't have a boyfriend. Nicholas asked in my heart. Nicholas slightly snorted mocking his own thoughts. Nicholas does not deny that Pinky is very attractive in the eyes of George. Her pretty face and posture were unlike most women she met. Added to her gentle smile.

The bus that was waiting finally arrived. Pinky and the pregnant woman also got on the bus. The bus was very slow, probably because it was almost midnight. In the front seat contains a pair of elderly husband and wife who hooked hands. Nicholas smiled at them as their eyes met. It's a very romantic sight.

Nicholas sat on the left bench. View the city at night through the window. The journey is calm. It made Nicholas want to close his eyes. Until he heard the screams from behind.

"Oh my God!!!!”

“Mistress you are fine.” it sounds in pinky. Inner Goerge.

“Yes, this Lord is sick once.” The pregnant woman sounded grimacing.

Nicholas looked back. The elderly couple walked to the back of the bus. And Nicholas also followed them out of curiosity. He was shocked when he saw the blood flowing on the pregnant woman's legs earlier.

The pregnant woman bit her lip withstanding the pain. While in pinky looks panicked her eyes slightly widened. The pinky sighed for a while and her panicked face changed with a confident face.

“Maybe you will soon give birth, take a breath and let out slowly okay. How far is the hospital?” pinky asked while looking at George.

Nicholas yelled at the bus driver asking the same question.

“Five more blocks !!!” the driver shouted from the front.

"That's too far.” the Pinky muttered and in silence Nicholas agreed with her.

“We need to lay you madam. Calm down I think I can help a little,” Pinky said.

He got out of his chair and rolled out his coat on the bus floor. And without Nicholas' orders do the same. Nicholas puts his coat on the pinky's coat. And swiftly help the pregnant woman lie down.

“Sorry sir, you don't mind if your feet become a cushion for his?” the pinky asked George.

Nicholas did not answer him sitting down and placed the pregnant woman's head on his lap.The old husband and wife also sat on George's right and left side.

Nicholas could see the pinky busy stirring her bag. Taking out a new rubber glove pack from inside the medicine box, he bit off the pack and put on the glove. Then open the ********** the pregnant woman who has a lot of blood. This part makes Nicholas nauseous.

“Yes this Lord is very sick ..." ringis this pregnant woman.

“Tan easy, son. You'll be fine.” Grandma gave me spirit. The pregnant woman clasped Nicholas' hand as if to crush him. It's Nicholas' first experience seeing something like this. And honestly he's a little scared.

Nicholas' sweat is pouring. And for everything that's happened in this world his whole life. This was the most horror thing he had ever experienced. Unknowingly when the pinky instructed pregnant women to breathe Nicholas also followed him.

Nicholas' hand was already numb in the grip of this pregnant woman. This woman kept moaning in pain.

“Is this woman ready to give birth?” ask the old man beside George's left. 'Why should he ask at a time like this?' Nicholas groaned inwardly not wanting to hear any answer .

“Ya but the opening is not perfect.”

“But the blood is so much.” The grandmother muttered as she gently rubbed the sweat dripping from this woman's forehead. This woman sighed quietly before groaning in pain again. Keep doing that from time to time.

The bus was speeding, the occasional sound of the brakes being pressed sounded terrible. The bus does not even stop at its following stops. The atmosphere inside here was suddenly very quiet. The silence that occasionally tucked groans even the screams of the pregnant woman. She was already crying now while whining painfully. And his grip is more painful than ever.

“I can't afford. God ... This hurts so much...”

“You must push it, catch your breath and push.”

“Euuuenggg!!!” the woman strained with all her might, once, twice. And he looks exhausted. And his eyes began to close.

“Mrs you can't fall asleep!!” pinky started screaming. And the grandmother patted him on the cheek and woke him up. The pregnant woman's grip is weakened. And when all the bad things were milling around in George's head. The bus stopped violently with a terrible sound making this woman who was about to give birth soar in shock and started to take another breath.

“In the meantime your mistress should fight.” Pinky cheers. When a group of people dressed as nurses came on the bus.

“dr.Monika ... This patient can be moved from the bus?” One of them asked pinky.

"There's no time we're gonna do it here. Please be ready for the need.” The pinky ruled in a bit of panic.

“They are a little more. Fight it. Breathe in and push.” He gave instructions again.

The nurses left the bus with two people. And baby cries echoed all over the bus. Unknowingly Nicholas sighed in relief.

“Mistress of your daughter.” The pinky announced while lifting up the tiny baby who was still crying. A nurse cut the placental cord making Nicholas grimace, turning his eyes away. A blond woman got on the bus in a doctor's suit.

“Monica.”

“Sarah, you picket today?”

“Ya ... This woman is lucky because you are on this bus too" said the blonde woman.

“You think so?” Pinky smiled as she passed the baby to the nurse who lived with her.

“Ya .. leave the rest to us. We will take care of him.” The blonde woman looked at Nicholas with her big eyes. “Let's rest Our master will take care of your wife soon.”

And that statement made Nicholas snort. Nicholas never thought about how this blonde doctor thought of this woman as his wife. Of course before he realized his quite friendly position.

“She's not her husband Sarah.” Pinky told while holding a smile.

"G ... Sorry ...." The woman called Sarah smiled awkwardly at Nicholas before getting off the bus.

And everyone is busy moving the woman who made history giving birth on the bus to help the kind stranger.

The old man who was with Nicholas got up and patted Nicholas on the shoulder once while laughing softly. The pinky opened her gloves and put them together with the folds of their coats that already smelled of blood rust.

“How about your coat?” He asked George.

“I don't think I want to see him again,” Nicholas muttered weakly. Pinky laughed amusedly.

“I too. I think I'll hand it over to the hospital clerk. It's up to them what these coats are.”

After the pinky got out of place. Nicholas began to stand while holding on to the bus seats. And somehow try not to step on the place that was used as an emergency maternity place.

Nicholas got off the bus. And light a cigarette. The bus driver announced that he could not continue the journey. And suggest passengers use the taxi service.

The air was cold when Nicholas was no longer wearing a coat. In front of the hospital entrance were three taxis that were lined up. The husband of the wife got into the taxi. And I don't know for what reason. Nicholas opens the taxi door for the pinky. He muttered thank you with a pink face.

Nicholas only replied with a slight smile, and sauntered towards his own taxi. Now she finds out why Yericho willingly gave Cadee custody of her mother. Maybe it was because of a scene like the one he saw when his son was born into the world and it was terrible. It's even more terrifying if it happens to people we really care about.

And if one day she has a child ... Nicholas snorted, mocking his ridiculous thoughts. He called his mother when he got home. And subconsciously fell asleep on the sofa while her mother's voice was still heard in the ears.
