Nara waited for Arvin since then restlessly, afraid that her husband was still stuck in traffic. The check-in number is near. The phone also from earlier was not lifted, making Nara scowl.
The tenth call Arvin picked up. Listening to the voice of the man on the phone made Nara's heart relieved.
“I'm in the parking lot. Patience dong, Honey!” arvin said soothe.
“Splash dong, Vin! Just go in the check room again. I've been told from his office at 3 o'clock so don't get stuck,” Nara's nag.
“I still have a meeting. I'm going to walk there again. Patience yes.” Arvin tried to stop his wife's nagging.
Nara hangs up the phone and is still upset with Arvin. I don't know if he was really upset with Arvin every day. Although he himself does not know what the reason is, it's just that Arvin suddenly stayed away from him because he could not stand it. Nara will whine because of loneliness.
Arvin joins Nara in the waiting room. His wife's face was still pouting and did not look at him sitting next to her.
“Still want to get angry? Want to go to the doctor, right? Or am I going home?”
“Wh time home anyway, Vin?!”
“Ya already do not get angry again if it dong.” Arvin held Nara's hand and kissed her. “Don't dedeknya this guy so every day very sensi same me,” he continued guessing.
“Now I think you can see the dedeknya girl or boy deh, Vin. I'm curious too. What do you want?” Nara stroked her increasingly bulging stomach.
“What's up, what's important is healthy grandpa and born perfect.”
Nara nodded. Yes, it does not matter if the child will be a boy or a girl. The most important thing for them right now is the health and safety of the baby in Nara's stomach. To be born safe into the world.
The nurse calls Nara to enter Doctor Yustia's room. As usual, the friendly doctor greeted her cheerfully.
“Where? What complaints?” Ask with motherhood.
“I sometimes feel cramps in the lower abdomen,” reply Nara.
“Hurbs often? How many times in a day?”
“Sometimes, doc. Maybe once or twice, not every day.”
“Nothing. If every day is very often and the duration is long, let alone there is spotting, then we monitor yes. Now let's check first. The schedule is USG 4D, right?” said Doctor Yustia inching from her place. His assistant swiftly prepared the tools.
“Now you can see the baby girl or boy right, Doc?” arvin was curious.
“Can dong. You can even see her baby face.”
Nara started lying down. Feeling the cold gel in his stomach as usual and the Doctor who was busy with his tools. The difference, now not the black and white display shown is monitored. But it displays a picture that looks almost like a baby on the screen. In fact, it is very noticeable that there are small creatures that live in Nara's stomach.
“Nih, does his face look?” said Doctor Yustia showed a screen appearance on Nara and Arvin, “His face is perfect, no cleft. The position of the baby is also good, the placenta is also not blocked, and this... Wah dedeknya guy yes now,” he explained.
“Cowok, Doc?” Arvin sounded enthusiastic.
“It has been confirmed that 90% of the dedek guy. Does it look like this?” he continued pointing to the area of the baby's vital organs curled in Nara's stomach. “But... This is why the liquid water just a little huh? Don't you drink much?” Doctor Yustia looks worried.
“Drink often, Doc.” Answer Nara. “Problems yes, Doc?” continued.
Doctor Yustia's explanation haunts Nara's mind. He became very sad and worried. Fear thrives in her heart, making her almost always cry.
“Ra, if you are too worried like this is not good even later for the baby,” said Arvin who woke up from his sleep because he heard Nara sobbing next to him.
“But I'm scared, Vin. How about kayaking first again?” Tears kept pouring down her cheeks.
Arvin hugged Nara, made her lie down and kissed her forehead. “Nara, if you think about something bad. Even fear of events. Always prejudiced, after all we're working on it, right? You are diligent in drinking like a barking cow. Dedek is also still very active in your stomach.”
“But, Vin—“
“Udah. Shuuu! Sleep!” Arvin stuck his index finger on Nara's lips. Then hugged her tightly to calm her down.
Actually deep in his heart Arvin also had the same worries. Moreover, they had experienced loss before. But if he goes along with Nara, it is not good for his wife's psychological condition.
All she could do now was accompany and keep Nara from dissolving into grief and fear, which might just endanger her.
...****************...
As Nara feared, her pregnancy was problematic. At 31 weeks old, she had to receive treatment in the hospital because her fertility was seeping and waning.
Doctors performed injections to mature the lungs 4 times, and they discussed giving birth immediately. At the latest at 34 weeks if the amniotic fluid is still within safe limits.
Unfortunately, at 32 weeks gestation. Nara had to go into a sudden delivery. After giving birth, Nara grew saddened by not being able to hug her baby. The tiny creature had to receive treatment first in the NICU because it was born prematurely.
“You want me to bribe what food?” said Arvin who accompanied Nara pumping her ASI.
Nara shook her head, her tears falling unstoppably. Arvin wiped it with his thumb. Nara's condition is getting worse, because the baby has not been allowed to exit the incubator.
It has been almost 5 days that their child has been in the NICU. Nara will be there to hand over her ASI to give to her baby through a cup feeder. Their child is not even able to suckle properly on his mother because the ability of premature babies to suckle is not too good.
“Nara, did you hear the explanation of Doctor Lactation? You have to eat a lot, meet the nutrients, and do not stress so that your ASI smooth. It was the only thing that made him strong there. Only through ASI, you can give him protection and strength. Let him quickly we can hug.”
“He'll be home soon, right, Vin? Why is the baby next door able to go home while our child is not?”
“I don't know what condition the baby next to us is like. Let's just focus on our baby, okay? She's still underweight and can't stand the cold, so can't get out of the incubator just yet. We know what to do. Aren't you, Ra?”
Nara nodded. She must meet the needs of her small baby food through quality breast milk, so that the baby's weight quickly towards ideal.
“Then why don't you eat? Hm? What do you want to eat, I'll buy it. If you want me to cook food, it's not a problem either. Just so you want to eat.”
“Ngga. I ate something here.”
Arvin smiles. He took the food provided by the hospital. All food provided is in accordance with the advice of a nutrition doctor. It looks luxurious and delicious. Of course, because Nara is in the VVIP treatment room of one of the international hospitals in Jakarta.
“Aaaa... Cepetan open his mouth, the plane wants to pass,” said Arvin playing a spoon of food towards Nara.
“What the hell, Vin? Like feeding to a boy, you know not?” Nara smiled at her husband's behavior. The crying stopped and turned into laughter.
“Soalnya Nara again like a boy, hard to eat,” reply Arvin laughs.
