HONEY OF MY WIFE'S CHOICE (RUBBY)
Grateful, and happy

Author POV.

The next day, Edra left early in the morning, accompanied by Gusti.

"Mas... Careful, yeah. His work is focused, By here is safe. Anyway, I'll be there." Rubby's message. "Ma'af, By can't banter the airport."

Edra hugged Rubby tightly, not feeling her tears flowing.

"By, who should take good care of himself. If there's anything, call Mas ya, baby."

"Yes... Yaudah, go. I'll miss my plane."

Edra stepped heavily, after kissing Rubby's forehead, and Maliq, who was in his arms.

Rubby waved, and little Makiq gave kissbye to the father.

"Weight, yes, sir... Want to leave the family?"

"Yes, Gus. Usually, wherever I go, they come."

"Yes, Sir... Mba Winda, also said so. Patience, yes, sir. Who knows, with a temporary separation, the love of this family is getting tighter."

"Also you advise me, Gus," ledek edra to him.

Pov Rubby's.

Two days Mas edra left, I was with Mom and Sister at home, accompanied me, and kept me from being lonely.

"Mom, By contraction," I told Mother that night.

"Yes Allah... By's sure?"

"That's sure, ma'am." I replied.

I realized, this time I was alone. Tak. My brother, even my husband, is out of the country. So, I arranged for myself to be calmer in labor this time.

Bang Halim immediately heated up his car, then picked up some of my stuff that I was going to bring.

"Sister Fit, take care of Maliq, huh? Same Bik this too, please take care of Maliq." I message them.

"Babies... Don't come, By?"

"Udah... Ngga. Everything is ready, By just come in, and just name it." I reply.

I got in the car, and enjoyed every second of the contraction I started to feel. The longer, the more often.

Upon arrival at the hospital, I was immediately taken into the room. But, for one thing, I had to be infused again, and put in oxygen for birth this time. The process was long enough, it made me want to cry, but Mother strengthened me.

"By, Mas called," said Bang Ramlan, giving me his phone.

Phone, I'm turning it into a video call.

"Mas" I said to Mas Edra.

His face was so surprised, seeing me who was wearing an oxygen hose, because it was very different from the birth of Maliq, where everything was normal and fine.

"Oh my God, baby, by why did it get to oxygen?"

"Ngga papa, Mommy. Just in case, everything is good 'kok, Mas don't have to worry." I replied, trying to calm down.

"How can you calm down? I'm going home now, okay?"

"There night, it's noon here, Mas just finished a meeting, just waiting for a decision. Don't turn the phone off, Mas wants to accompany, By, even through the video." talk to me.

"Yes... Change Hp by aja, yes. Later By put his HP on the table, so that Mas can nemenin." persuade me to him.

Mas edra nodded, though tears welled up in his eyes.

Contractions have been more often I feel, the opening is complete. The doctor started instructing me to push, when I felt I was ready.

Many times I strained, and many times also, Bang halim representing Mas edra wiped my sweat.

I saw a glance at the screen Hp, Mas edra did a prayer while bestasbih, with tears flooding his cheeks. It was my strength, it made me more excited, and exerted all my strength for the umpteenth time.

And finally, at 03:00 in the morning the sound of a baby crying out loud in my room. Yes, it was my second child, who was born without the company of Mother, even her own father. But, I am happy, Mas Edra was so happy to see him.

My baby was taken to be cleaned and mopped up, while the Doctor was cleaning me up in bed.

Mother held my baby, and Bang Halim stuck my HP into her ear, then prosecuted her. Afterwards, Mom gave the baby to me, and we talked.

"Cowok, Mommy... Whose name do you want?" ask me with enthusiasm, though weak.

"May be a strong boy, and Mas will name Bram, Brama Kumbara."

I smiled at my smile, "Good, Hay, Bram. Brama Kumbara, welcome to the world, and be a friend of Mas Maliq, yes."

"I wish this could hold you, Mom. And see Big Brother's smile, even in a dream," I hope.

The next day, because my condition had improved, I was allowed to go home quickly. Because to be honest, I'm not staying in the hospital for long.

Mom helped me get ready, and I held Bram in my arms, and suddenly the door opened.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat...."

My eyes were wide open, staring at the person who entered the room, happy, moved, but I could not run as usual, as He stretched his arms out for me.

Edra Pov.

Enough there, silent and smiling sweetly, I will approach you, not you, who comes to me.

I hugged her tired body, I kissed her forehead, and I stroked her hair that had not been covered in the hijab.

"Thank you, honey... Ma'af, Mas's coming late. I tried to find the fastest ticket. But, By knows for yourself, morning here, there night." I told him.

"Papa NGO... What matters is that I'm here now. Can't go, pick her up, By's grateful." she replied.

I love you more and more, even being able to love you, without ever forgetting my first love.

I pushed the wheelchair, out of the Hospital, with Bram in Mom's arms. Then we got in the car and walked home.

Arriving at home, I have prepared a party to welcome her home with festive, with Rara, Thomas, and other colleagues, without exception, Ramlan and Maya.

Everyone congratulates us on the birth of our Brama Kumbara,

Gave her various gifts and wished her all the best. Happy is matchless, that's what I think today.

The new me came, so longed for Maliq, and carried him who was playing in his playroom, asking him to look at all this happiness.

"Dee, whether... See her? We're happy now."
