God's Choice of Mate
Welcome To The World

Shafa Azura's

When an unbearable pain approached I could only rely on giving my life to the owner of life. This pain is incredible, I have never felt this kind of pain before. When my waist crumpled, cut off like a thousand swords. I thought this might be the end of my life.

I gave up, I was not strong anymore but the shady face looked back at me strengthening me with the dhikr-dhikr that he whispered in my ear. I know how much he wants this kid. So did I. I would feel so guilty if I couldn't give birth safely. Although my life should be his bet. Mas Rayyan put his forehead on my forehead, clearly visible worry in his calm face.

Oh God, I love him so much, the man who now holds my hand, assuring me that I can get through it all. He is my life, my source of strength. I'm trying to reassemble my depleted energy. Crossed back in my memory of our togetherness these past few months. I smiled considering how unique the way God brought us together, made us fall in love with each other to how He presented this Zafran and child in my womb in our midst. God has been so good to me. I gave a perfect husband to my eyes. Would I be right to ask again?

"Let's mom, stronger still, have her head in sight." Doctor Lily gave instructions. He said that my son's head was already visible, which meant that he would soon see the world. I must fight, for her sake, for the child in my womb and for all who love me.

"Bismillah..." I said before I started to strengthen. It felt like the urge from inside my stomach was getting stronger and painful. Sakiiit... Really Sakiit...!

"Eeeeeeeeenggh.... Aaaarrrgggh.... Allahu akbaaar!!!" I screamed when my body felt like it was crumbling, really crumbling.

We can never choose the destiny we will go through. But we can choose how we live it. I chose to love you, to be the mother of your child, but I can't promise to age with you.

My eyes started to feel heavy, my body felt weak.

Silence!!!

Be quiet!!!

It's dark!!!

Am I dead already?

"Occupy...Oweck... Owg!!!"

The sound of the baby's cry echoed in the room making a single smile on the corner of Rayyan's lips. Gratitude was unceasingly he lafaz. But his face instantly turned deathly pale as he looked at his wife's face.

"Boby!!! Shafa!!!"

Rayyan patted Shafa's perfectly closed face. Rayyan's hands trembled as if numb.

"Shafa wake up Shafaa!!!" Her screams left midwives and doctors cleaning their babies aghast.

Doctor Lily approached and examined Shafa's condition. While Rayyan was already crying while drowning her face beside Shafa's face.

Lily's doctor checked Shafa's pulse and breathing. He seemed to be busy giving action without much talk.

"Why do you have Shafa? Why?" Rayyan has lost her mind. He even forgot that the child he had been waiting for had been born into the world. His thoughts were all focused only on a Shafa.

"Don't go Shafa, don't leave me and our children. What will I tell Zafran and our son when he asks his mommy. What Shafa? Hix...Hicks!" Rayyan said as she sobbed beside Shafa's face.

"Sorry Mr. Rayyan - -"

"Silent doctor! I don't want to hear anything!" Jerk Rayyan who still hugs his wife's body while sobbing.

"Sir Rayyan, I have to put an infusion on Shafa's mother" said doctor Lily who made Rayyan look up at him.

"Ma..I mean my wife's doctor hasn't died?" Ask Rayyan.

"Ha.ha.ha. This father is-anything, Shafa's mother is okay sir, she's just too exhausted to be like this" said doctor Lily while laughing to make Rayyan gawk like a b***oh person. Two midwives who took care of their children also chuckled.

"Alhamdulillah O Allah!!! Thank you dear, thank you for fighting for our child" Rayyan showered on Shafa's face with a soft kiss all over his face.

Shortly after the door opened, mommy and daddy came inside. Rayyan immediately hugged the daddy and cried on the shoulder of the daddy while mommy immediately saw baby Shafa who was in the lap and cut his umbilical cord by the midwife.

"I mean Daddy?" Ask Rayyan.

" Look in the corner!" Daddy pointed at the corner of the room with CCTV. This means that all their activities for a few hours were monitored above.

Astagfirullah. Daddy and mommy should just relax.

"Daddy can't possibly let daddy's favorite daughter do anything. All was expected Ray, and doctor Lily is the best obstetrician in this clinic. She could not have made a fatal mistake, especially before it was known that Shafa's condition was very good and allowed to give birth normally" said Daddy calmly.

Right, why can I be this stupid, God.

"Dad, look at our grandchildren!" Said mommy while holding a small baby that is still red with skin that looks still wrinkled.

"Let's Ray, hurry up and have your son" said the father. The first duty of a father when his newborn son is to pardon in his right ear and iqamah in his left ear.

Rayyan's hands shook when she first touched her son's skin. Her skin was so soft with a white peel mark that it was still attached. Mommy helps her position the baby in Rayyan's arms. Daddy petrified Rayyan who was trembling to hold his son's body.

"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim" Rayyan placed her lips on her son's right ear.

"Allahu akbar's... Allahu akbar"

The chant of Azan I was holding Rayyan sounded so melodious and soothing to everyone who heard it. In his midst he shed his tears because he was so happy for the favor that God gave him. His life is now so complete.

After the Azan. He moved to his son's left ear for the iqomah.

O Allah, make this child a righteous child, who always fears you. Make him a straight man in your religion. Make him a man who will fight in Your way. Amiiine.

After finishing in the adzani, carefully mommy put the baby on his stomach in the chest Shafa. Rayyan held the back of her son who was still not wrapped in the cloth with her palm so that he did not fall because Shafa had not yet opened his eyes. He was still relaxing his exhausted body

"Dear, wakeup. Look at our son. He's very handsome" Rayyan said. The baby was seen moving and crying before a soft hand grabbed him, making him calm in his mother's arms.

"Darling..."

Rayyan smiled and kissed Shafa again. This time it's longer. He wanted to channel the happiness that was building up in his chest.

"Don't cry, I'm not dead! I'm embarrassed!" Finally he heard the voice again. The melodious voice that almost made him lose his mind. He thought he would end up being a two-child widower like in some series of movies he had seen.

Shafa opened his eyes. His struggle for almost 5 hours paid off already with the presence of a tiny baby in his arms. The baby boy weighing 3.3 kilo grams was able to overturn his world. A handsome baby with a sharp nose that can make him forget the pain that is still felt in his femininity. He looked at his son with a sense that could not be described.

Finally mommy can see you son, for nine months you're in mommy's belly, but why is your face more like your father's? Shafa muttered, who kept looking at his son.

"Mom, where's Zafran?" Shafa suddenly remembered his little Zafran who was so eager to see his sister.

"Zafran is in the same room next door to your mom and dad. From earlier he whined he wanted to meet you Fa" said Mommy.

"Why not brought here mom, he certainly can't wait to see his sister" replied Shafa.

"He couldn't possibly meet you under these circumstances right? Can she cry hysterically seeing a lot of blood" Mommy said.

"If so mommy help Shafa clean up let daddy calm Zafran. When you're ready, get the midwife to tell us. Rayyan's mother and father must have been eager to see her granddaughter" said Daddy then left the room to the room next to him.

"Bu Shafa we do the initiation of early breastfeeding first well. It seems like there is enough introduction of the skin to skin" said doctor Lily.

"Mommy I'm ashamed" said Shafa as his mommy tried to lower the share of his negligee down.

"Who is the Fa? this is just your chest that you want to see, while the doctor had seen a more private part of this" Reply Mommy made Shafa's face flushed.

Not only see mom, the doctor has even destroyed my assets. Yes Allah cannot imagine what it is now. Inner Shafa miris. He was still horrified to remember how the doctor put his hand casually into his womanhood.

"Address with the put*ng part yes ma'am, let him search for himself" said the doctor. It seems that the little baby is actively looking for his own location of the source of his life. After finding what was in his way he immediately suckled actively. Shafa appears to grimace withholding amused because the newborn's tongue feels rougher.

"From now on you have to beat up your son Ray" Tukas mother who made Rayyan's face red instantly.
