Love, I Surrender
Call Him Alea

The car carrying Arga and Karin had already stopped in front of the ER. Arga came out and shouted, “Suster, my wife wants to give birth.” Sontak made the officer who was there, pushing the gurney closer towards the Arga car.

Karin assisted Arga out of the car slowly, then climbed up to the top of the safe while holding her stomach. Arga goes where the gurney is pushed, while his hand grips Karin's hand as if to convey that even everything will be fine.

“Dicek first yes, sir. We see how many openings,” said the nurse. Karin herself was already in the action room, it seemed like the action room gave birth. Arga still faithfully accompanied.

Karin's shoes have been removed, both legs bent, then there is a doctor who conducts an internal examination. Karin just grimaced uncomfortably, Arga scrunched her forehead as Karin clutched tightly onto Arga's hand. According to Arga, it is very different Karin's response if he plays there.

“Still opening four, we wait a minute. Let's be comfortable waiting in the nursery only.”

Arga immediately took care of all the needs related to hospital services, not forgetting to contact Mama Karin and her parents as well.

“Sick .. Hubby is very sick,” complained Karin.

Currently Karin has been moved to the nursery, waiting until the complete opening. Although Arga does not understand what kind of complete opening and when it will open.

“Patience, dear.”

Arga rubbed the body part that Karin asked for. At first the waist, back and stomach are always wrong. Karin herself has changed into a special costume of the patient.

“Sabar .. patient, who feels my pain. You're good to say patient,” hardik Karin.

“Eh, can't be angry. Later high tension, let's here I wipe again. Mana ... waist yes, he said achy.” Arga patiently accompanied and accepted Karin's whining. After all Karin is really fighting for the happiness of her little family. Remember clearly when Karin in early pregnancy even take care of Arga who was in an accident, there was even a misunderstanding with the Mother.

Must be willing to move his body is not agile as usual because the stomach is getting bigger and now their child will be born, which is several times the examination is known to be female gender. Arga smiles at the thought that every commute from work will be welcomed by Karin and her cute, beautiful daughter.

“Hubby, pake daydreaming all,” pekik Karin.

“Eh, yes dear. Why?” Arga rushed to stand staring at Karin's already pouting face.

“I said I'm thirsty, why even smile smile not clear.”

Arga did not reply, immediately took the prepared glass and filled it with mineral water from the bottle packaging. Karin actually finished almost a glass, it seemed like she was indeed thirsty.

“You ate yes, the sister said earlier during childbirth took a lot of energy.”

Karin just shook her head while hissing softly, when the contractions came she would grimace and clutch Arga's hand or the edge of the bed where she was while adjusting her breath.

The door of the room opened, Mama Karin entered in a hurry. “Where is Arga, how many openings?”

Arga stood up and let Mama Karin sit next to Karin's bed.

“Tadi still opening four.”

“Mah, it hurts ... it hurts so much.  Is there no way that can make the pain disappear,” whine Karin.

“No darling, this is the process. Especially a woman who feels what you currently feel,” explained Mama Karin.

“Sabar yes, just set your breath. Don't get angry or complain much.” Mama Karin wiped the sweat spots on her daughter's forehead. Arga himself continued to rub Karin's waist which was currently lying on his side.

Arga's parents are out of town, they have news that Karin is about to give birth. Tomorrow we arrive in Jakarta. Arga was lucky to be accompanied by Mama Karin, because she did not really understand the process of giving birth. Although there are nurses and doctors, but addressing Karin's complaints and whining requires effort and high patience.

“Mah, I think I should pee yes ...”

 “This ruptured membranes, it seems to be near.”

Nurse directly check Karin again, “Doctor has complete opening.”

The doctor also positioned himself sitting facing the core of Karin. Give instructions to Karin when to push. Mama Karin who was beside her daughter rubbed Karin's arm while giving her spirit. Arga himself stood beside Karin's head while continuing to stroke her slowly and whisper loving words of spirit.

It's been a double straining but baby Karin hasn't come out yet.

“Come on, breathe and push ...”

“Aaaaaa,” Karin tries to push her mightily .. And a baby comes out with a cry of relief. Mama Karin looks relieved, Karin herself is still panting to regulate the roar of her breath. Arga hugged Karin and landed her lips on the forehead of the woman who had completed her life.

“Thank you dear,” whispered Arga.

“The baby is normal, female, tall ... heavy..” The nurse has cleaned the baby Karin and Arga, then handed it to Arga to be punished as her religious beliefs. After that it was placed in Karin's arms.

“Beautiful, looks like Mami,” Arga said. Karin smiled, not expecting that she had truly become a mother. Nurses return to take their babies for post-natal care.

By morning, Karin was already in the nursery. Karin's briefcase and their baby's been delivered by Arga's driver. Mama Karin was lying on a patient waiting bed. Arga still faithfully sat down to accompany Karin who looked exhausted and sleepy.

“Sleep darling.”

“My baby where, have not been delivered,” said Karin.

“Maybe a little unlucky, you just sleep first. Recover your energy.”

...***...

“Sini, let Oma be fat.” Mother Marisa grabs the tiny baby in Karin's arms and holds her.

Karin has just arrived home, welcomed by Mama and her mother-in-law. The workers at home were enthusiastic about welcoming their small employers. The baby girl, a new member of the Sadewa family, is really a concern for everyone.

“The lips look like Karin, but the rest are all Arga plek,” exclaimed Marisa while looking at her grandson's face. Mama Karin simply smiled, confirming what was conveyed by her ironwork.

“Arga, what's his name grandson Oma?”

“Oh yes, has his name prepared?” ask Mama Karin.

Arga and Karin looked at each other. If Karin herself hasn't thought even they haven't talked about it.

“There Bun,” replied Arga. Karin was still staring at her husband waiting for his daughter's name to be called. Whoever Arga's name was prepared for, Karin would accept it because it was impossible for Arga to prepare a name that had a bad meaning.

“Alea Princess Sadewa.” Arga looked at Karin, worried that his wife did not like the name being prepared. “What do you think?”

Karin smiled as she nodded her head.

“Call him Alea.”
