After about two hours of observation. Talima's condition improved. So is the condition of the premature baby. Early breastfeeding initiation was done. Before being put back into the incubator. Maega and her concerns over Talima and her baby's condition did not occur. He's grateful for that.
Ken played an impromptu father to the beautiful baby. Although initially forced to sacrifice, but Ken did as well. Calling it humanity, that's how.
He took a picture of the beautiful baby while in Azani, Ken. Then upload it to his social media. The health clinic is one of several rooms facilitated by wifi networks.

‘Baby born with papa’
He giggled when he managed to upload the photo.
Then he and Ken left the clinic. When the janitor came. He also ordered breakfast for Maega and Talima from the restaurant. Before he really left.
“I order breakfast to be delivered to the room,” said Ken when they reached the front of the room.
He nodded, then went into his room.
But his eyes are heavy. Drowsiness dominates more than hunger. He threw his body on the bed as soon as he arrived at his room.

Once you have finished your bath and dry your hair with a small towel. He opened his phone screen. Because it sounds a few times the incoming notification.
But he did, when the door to his room was knocked.
When I opened the door, I ordered breakfast the next morning. He told the waiter to put him on the table.
After the waiter left, he resumed opening his phone screen.
What made him angry was ....
Several times he knocked on his sister's door. But it wasn't opened. Trying to contact via mobile phone, long time no legit.
Finally, he decided to go back to the room.
But at first glance the idea of revenge sneaks into his brain. He grinned wide.

He woke up when the sun was directly overhead. Quickly clean up. The worms in her stomach also continued to sing. Skipping breakfast apparently makes his stomach continue to protest asking to be filled.
When he opened his phone screen, there were more than 3 calls from Ken. Dozens of social media notifications.
He smiled winning, as he opened his ig. But instantly the smile faded as Ken's post tagged his account.
A picture of him staring at dusk on the boat.
By caption,
‘I wish you were here ...’
The hunted he exited the room directly through the door of Ken's room which happened to be unlocked. Her brother was staring at her laptop screen while wearing headphones.
But before his lips opened, Ken said out loud.
“One ... one,” then blown. Feeling in the wind.
He shook his head, his hunger multiplied to see Ken laughing mockingly.
Without saying anything, he still pursed his lips. Pour vegetables and side dishes in dishes that contain rice.
Putting a mouthful of rice into his mouth.
Ken doesn't even pay attention to it. Fun to continue the game.
He grumbled as he continued to chew his food. But inwardly said, “Awas .. retaliation is being prepared.”
Finished breakfast and lunch at once, he rushed out of Ken's room. His foot steps towards the 1st floor where the health clinic is located.
Passing through the corridors of economy and class 2 rooms. At the end there are children with their mothers who are playing in the playground.
He continued to walk past the restaurant, turning left. Pushing the unlocked healthcare clinic door.
Talima was breastfeeding her child. They throw each other smiles when eyes meet.
“What's the condition?” He asked when he approached the bed that Talima slept on.
“It's better. Thank you, Ka.” Talima Sahut. The young mother seemed to be moving. Closing the baby's food source. After feeling his son was full and asleep.
“Ih ... lutuuunya,” chirps are anxious to see baby Talima.
“What's his name, Ma?" Ask later. Talima held her baby in a position leaning against the wall.
He helps Talima, stacking pillows to lean on.
“But,”
Suddenly he frowned, “Kok not yet? Not prepared yet?”
Talima.
She realized, Talima did not even expect to give birth on the ship. Even at a gestational age that is far from predicted.
“But know, if her daughter is a girl?” Ask again.
Talima shook her head back.
“What's never been in USG?”
With a small smile Talima replied, “Just check to the midwife.”
“Oo ..” He immediately pursed his lips.
“Sister can give a name to my son,” Talima said which made him a little surprised.
“Later to the papa, how?”
“The father definitely agrees. My sister helped me give birth. I can't reply with money.” Talima said honestly.
He seemed to think for a moment.
“How about, DAMA SEA MAHARANI .. means loving sea queen.”
“Agree,” Maega new come chiming in.
He looked back.
“How, Ma?” Maega blinked one eye at Talima.
The young mother smiled, then nodded. “That's great, Brother. What fits?”
“As per coke. He was born in the middle of the sea. When conditions do not match predictions. May she become a loving queen.”
***
He visited Talima and Sea. The tiny, cute and pretty baby still needs an incubator. Aside from the warmth of the baby's mother, of course.
At 3 pm local time the ship is expected to lean in Kendari-Sulawesi Tenggara Port.
The ship's flute once rang loudly. He was getting used to the atmosphere of passenger loading and unloading at the Port. Hustle and bustle of passengers who get off and on.
He saw the rush from the top deck. Clutching both hands to the chest.
“After this we are heading to Raha.” Tukas Maega stood next to him.
“Thank you for your help from last night until this morning,” Maega added.
He turned to Maega for a moment, then published a smile. “It should have been,”
“You're the guy here?” Ask.
Maega nodded, “I am from Makassar. He recently served on the ship. Originally at RSU Gorontalo.”
They converse. Maega tells her that she wants to be the captain of the ship, but her parents want her to become a doctor.
Bloody Bugis woman was chuckling, “And I am now a doctor working on the ship ..”
That night he invited Ken to eat in his room. I was lazy for that reason.
Something is being planned.
Ken craved eating his dinner. Even to spend the portion.
He swallowed his mouth rough. Then hurried out of Ken's room.
Trying to close his eyes, guilt haunts him. He got up, walked back and forth in the room. Waiting for news from Ken next. But, it has been more than 2 hours that the drug has also not reacted. Ken had no evidence of contacting him.
Forcing his eyes to close. She heard the sound of her bedroom door being knocked.
With a quick step, he opened the door. “Why?” He saw Ken holding his stomach. Then grimaced without saying. Her brother ran off on the ridge back into his room.
He wanted to laugh, but tried to hold it. Plan succeeded.
“Yes!!” Pekik.
“Mae, can I go to VIP room number 3?”
Shortly after, Maega came with a stethoscope, which was wrapped around his neck. Apparently he just got out of the clinic.
He greets Mae on the doorstep of Ken's room with a smile.
“Thank you for coming,” he said. Please allow Maega to enter.
“How many times have you defecated?” Mae asked to check on Ken's condition. His sister lay weakly curled up holding her stomach.
Ken seemed to think, “lima .. six times maybe, it felt wrapped around,” said Ken while grimacing.
“Excuse me, I have to check your stomach.”
Ken's forehead shriveled, hesitantly he flicked his shirt slowly.
Maega is seen examining Ken's stomach, patting him.
“How? What is necessary in infusion?” The drill.
Ken shook his head in disapproval.
“If it gets worse don't want to. But I give you medicine first. Hopefully the line stops soon."
“Do you eat wrong?” Maega asked to look at him.
“I don't think so. The proof is that I am not sick. We ate the same menu. Even he finished my porch,” he let it quibble.
Maega said to go back to the clinic to take the medicine. While he also passed away leaving Ken. He intentionally left them both.

KF STAR ships continue to drive towards the next destination Port of Bau-Bau, Buton Island. The journey from Raha Port to Bau-Bau takes about 4 hours.
Now after from Bau-Bau, the journey continues to the Port of Makassar. Time taken longer. But just felt sound, his body felt swayed to the right and to the left, then crashed.
He opened his eyes. Everything feels moving and wiggling. He heard the voices of people in the commotion. He got up and quickly grabbed his jacket and left the room.
Ken was also standing in the doorway of his room.
“With the storm,” said Ken knew his concerns.
“Do not approach railing. Don't go to the deck. Wear life jacket!” Ken went back to the room, then came out again with an orange life jacket. Propose to him.
His hands were busy wearing life jackets. “Until when is this storm?” Ask.
“Do not know. But don't panic.” Some people on one floor with him can be seen passing by. Using the same life jacket. They were seen gathering in the middle of the room.
“Maega,” sergeant. The young doctor was not visible even though his room was also one floor with them.
“Maybe still in the clinic, Kak.” Placing, “susul, Maega in clinic!”
Ken looked at her meaningfully, “I won't leave you,”
He shook.
“We went to the clinic together,” Ken took his hand.
They're down the stairs. Using an elevator during a storm is not the right solution. Arriving at the 1st floor, the situation was more stressful.
Everyone seemed panicked. Someone was crying in fear. Someone is praying, holding his heart.
He and Ken rushed to the clinic.
“Talima ...” Call him after seeing the young mother cradling Sea sitting in the waiting chair.
Talima looked up to him. The look on his face is so anxious, “Tenlah .. we pray that this storm passes quickly.”
The young mother held her baby with one of her hands, while the other held her tight to the waiting chair. He sat next to Talima.
“Maega?” He asked, when his body was perfectly seated.
“Where?” Imbuh Ken's.
“So someone came here. Said someone had a heart attack,” Talima said.
He looked at Ken, “Kak?” hinting that Ken should find Maega as soon as possible.

Kenichi
His eyes spread out to all corners. Looking for the figure of a young doctor who the last few hours were able to approach him. Surely this was all Kirei the younger brother.
In his love campus, just the name ‘sang ex’ that fills his heart until this second. Though his hopes were far from reality. He who lives far away in different parts of the continent.
He just resigned himself, hanging prayers and hopes if they are paired will definitely be reunited.
For quite a while, he explored the room by room on the 1st floor. But he has not found Maega.
Outside the rain is very heavy. Lightning also struck, presenting a deafening thunder boils.
The ship is still swaying, not necessarily direction.
Holding hands against the wall, he entered the 2nd class room. There, the woman wearing a snelli coat was trying to provide relief from pulmonary heart resuscitation or CPR.
He saw the patient Maega helped in a fainting state.
Maega's breath was panting.
“I can do it,” he said. Seeing Maega who was exhausted. There's no way he's letting.
With experience in K3 procedure training a few weeks ago in his office. He was trying to replace Maega.
Assisted by artificial respiration. Eventually the patient woke up.
He and Maega breathed a sigh of relief. With the help of other passengers, the patient was taken to the clinic. To get further treatment.
