I Love U! Husband Carried
CHAPTER 56 - The Struggle of a Mother

Later that night, at about 21:13, I sat alone in my room, while Kak Anta was still working in the office. All I know is that he has a night patrol schedule, today. I looked at the clear sky, while repeatedly playing the phone's power button. Actually, I really want to hear the voice of sister Anta, I want to be near her, because all day that somehow I turned spoiled and easily overwhelmed with melancholia, whereas during pregnancy there are no serious problems, but all day this whatever I do or say, I want there is always a sister Anta near me.

Indeed, since the morning I felt a lot of pain in the stomach, but I assumed it was a false contraction due to fatigue or a lot of thoughts, so I thought not to tell it with Sister Anta. Yes, too many thoughts and tired, many thoughts because always dreamed of the evil Petra, and tired of lack of sleep. Maybe that was the reason why his attitude turned into spoiled aleman.

But suddenly, while enjoying the panorama of the night, I again felt the same thing, cramping and pain again. This time it was much more painful than before, until I was heartbroken to hold it. It felt like a somersault, the waist would be dislodged so that I was satisfied from the pain.

Having been unable to endure the pain, I reached for a cell phone to call Kak Anta, but there was no answer. I finally called Dr. Rani, to help me.

"Hello Kania, what's the call at night? Did something happen?" Doctor Rani said from the phone.

"Dok,--" I moaned, "My stomach hurts so much Doctor Rani."

"Huh? holy jeez! Where's Anta Reza?" he said, he began to panic from his tone.

"Sir Anta's still on patrol the night doc, I've called but not picked up."

"Wait there Kania, remember take the most comfortable position. Wait ten minutes, I'll be there!"

After relaying his orders, Doctor Rani immediately turned off the phone and probably got ready to come.

At about 21:30, a car stopped in front of the house. Lucky before sleeping on the bed I took the time to unlock the front door, so that when doctor Rani until she could go straight in.

Simultaneously, the soft voice belonging to doctor Rani screeched calling my name.

"Kania....?!"

"Doctor," I said softly, "I'm in the dock room ... "

As soon as I issued an answer, the door to my room opened and Dr. Rani came with a bag full of her checkers.

"Cania! wait let me check."

The examination lasted about 30 minutes, and Rani's doctor began to explain the results of her examination to me for an extended period. After feeling better, my phone rang. A call from Sister Anta.

"Kania, why did you call? you need anything? sorry I was having apples to get ready for patrol." Sis Anta said in the distance.

"I've checked with doctor Rani Kak, I've opened one. Doctor Rani said, maybe give birth between the next day or two" I replied on the phone.

Just contact, just like me, Sister Anta also felt shocked when she heard it. Though the prediction of doctor Rani, I gave birth in the second week of January. Especially tonight Kak Anta there is a night patrol schedule, since my pregnancy is getting bigger, Kak Anta is indeed more often asked for permission. And I think tonight, the allowance for him will be difficult to give But tonight he is determined, if not given permission to go home early, he will still go home.

"I'm going home now, wait for me there baby! sorry I hung up on him." As soon as he confirmed it.

The next day, Kak Anta and I immediately prepared to stay at the hospital, Rani and Rambo doctors also helped. Then Kak Anta conveyed the news to his superiors in the office. Luckily, the reasons include emergencies and mandatory leave, so there are no problems in the office.

"Darling, is there a strange feeling?" He said while holding my hand.

"No brother yet" I said.

But apparently, after waiting for three days, there was no development with my pregnancy. There are only momentary contractions and not necessarily their intensity. When examined again by the doctor at the hospital as well as Rani's doctor, the nurse also said it is natural for a short contraction to occur towards the end of the pregnancy period, which is the case, and told me to go back to check my condition when I really can't move.

Finally I also wanted to return to our house, of course with the permission of doctor Rani as well. Even after returning home, Sister Anta diligently took me out of the house to just calm the mind, we also still had time to go to the cinema and spend time together in the park. Until Sunday morning, the moment we have been waiting for for approximately nine months seems to be arriving.

"Oh my God, wet ... " I said slowly. After pulling the blanket.

I looked down to the left, to Sister Anta's face. I saw for the first time that he was sleeping, probably already very tired. I know how tired she is to go through the days of my old pregnancy.

"Sorry, brother" I said. Then I continued to sleep again, even with a slightly wet mattress condition.

Then at 5 in the morning, I found out the same thing and Instead of urine, the liquid that I released was even colorless and odorless, even I myself did not feel the moment to urinate,

"What is amniotic fluid?" I immediately guessed, it must be amniotic fluid.

Immediately I pulled the phone from the nightstand and found out on the internet about the rupture of the amniotic fluid and the sign of labor;

"What are you doing?" suddenly without me realizing it seems that Sister Anta has woken up and caught me "playing" with a mobile phone.

"Nightmare again? you remember, you have to rest a lot. Stop playing cell phones! from when you woke up." he immediately reprimanded me and grabbed my mobile phone, and told me to go back to sleep.

But apparently, I was unable to hide the anxiety because of the incident earlier and Apparently Brother Anta realized the look of worry emanated from my face. Those of us who have lived together for almost a year immediately know that something is not right.

"What's up, Kania? what's going on?" she said, then grabbed both of my cheeks and looked at me deeply. "Try me,"

"Say baby, what are you feeling, and what is on your mind right now?" he tried to urge me with a gentle and calm tone

"I wet the bed twice tonight, brother." I said, "But I'm worried that this isn't urine-wetting, it's ruptured membranes."

Kak Anta immediately got up from the mattress and prepared to take the car keys. When approaching the period of labor, it has become an obligation for a husband to be on standby, because that is the term 'Suami Alert' (ready inter-guard), although Kak Anta looks grunting and small talk;

"Why don't you wake me up baby. Things like this, must be handled quickly and precisely!" said.

It is natural that he was disappointed in me for not immediately telling me this, because after all, it is very important to immediately give birth to a baby when the amniotic fluid has broken.

"Hello Ma'am, rupture the amniotic!" Said Sister Anta, she kept calling with doctor Rani all the way. "Yes, twice already" he continued.

That morning, we rushed to the hospital. Upon arrival there, Dr. Rani had been waiting because we had been preaching to each other before.

After checking, the doctor recommends that you stay in the clinic because it is estimated that the afternoon of labor will occur. My heart trembled to hear the results of the doctor's examination earlier, Because I also wanted to give birth normally.

But apparently, after a day in the ward, the big thing did not happen, even though I myself had received induction and felt pain due to contractions, even several times bleeding. It hurt like my life was going to disappear right then and there.

Seeing me who was struggling like that, for the first time Sister Anta cried on my forehead, while continuing to strengthen by holding both hands. He always whispered that he was completely saluted at once, and deeply appreciated women of the highest level.

And I felt that way, I remembered my mother who was in heaven for giving birth to me. She died right after I came out to see the world, The patience and toughness of a mother is truly extraordinary.

When there is no development, while enduring the pain, I still try to walk around the ward to facilitate the process of partus/delivery assisted Kak Anta who memapah, even though I felt that he himself was trembling. Again, great things do not come. The doctor asked us to wait until tomorrow.

All night I kept up the pain and bleeding. And Sister Anta was incessantly crying while kissing my forehead and cheeks in a row, indeed we all realized, for the sake of bringing a child born into the world, we would be ready to bet on life.

The incredible struggle of a mother ....
