The universe is trying its servant. And at this time the chosen pair is Bilmar and Alika. God wants to give them savings in the Hereafter. As their penance. Although the road is as bitter and heavy as this.
Soar is the step of the man who has been awaited by many people since. His direction was irregular, the water on his face was already plenty. Keep raining all the way to his neck and work shirt. Tense, panicked and in disbelief, Bilmar continued to run until many shoulders he hit. His mind is no longer focused. What the hell's going on? Why did the two children leave him and his wife?
"Where, Alika?" Bilmar's baritone voice just sounded when his step was in front of the treatment room. Everyone turned towards the man whose face was already wet from tears.
"Your wife is inside, son. He won't be bothered by anyone..." Answer Papa Bayu. While Papa Luky is still leaning on Binara's shoulder. They're still crying.
"You must be strong, Bil. Persuade Alika.." Rendi patted Bilmar on the shoulder before the man finally barged inside. Lastly Alika was angry and emotional to her family, because she kept telling herself to immediately perform surgery.
The pregnant woman had whined to ask their children to move back.
"Bilka, Abrar, this is Mama son! Let's get up yuk, you guys why the hell!" Alika continued to stomp her two legs.
"Darling..." That raucous voice made Alika who was still standing beside the thin strands of the hordeng turn her head back. The woman took a quick step to hug her husband.
"Oh God..." The sigh of Bilmar and his two shoulders continued to shake when he saw his wife's attitude like this, that the news he had just received was true.
"Bil, let's go home..." The answer. Alika refused to operate. This woman's mind became confused and could not think clearly. He was not willing if the two children had to be expelled this quickly.
"You have to give birth, baby. You're in a state of emergency now, Al!"
Alika took off her embrace, she rewinded her steps to get away from her husband. His head shook and he was still trying to fumble his stomach.
"Look, Bil. My stomach is like there's still a kok--" Bilmar knows it's just Alika's excuse. Indeed Alika was afraid, he knew Bilmar was disappointed and very hit.
"Bilka and Abrar don't exist, Al. They must be born--- quick"
Bilmar's words just stopped when getting a sharp delicacy from both eyes of his wife.
"No! I don't want to give birth now!"
"Don't think gini, Al. Don't make your position difficult..."
"What's so hard? I just want to keep trying to keep our kids, Bil!" The volume of Alika's voice was heard rising.
Bilmar lowered his head down while closing his eyes. The tears kept dripping out. He continued to search for a lump of strength from his heart that was currently so boiling. Like being poured hot water from the tip of the head to the soles of his feet. He looked up again and looked at his wife who was still crying.
Bilmar advanced the pace, but Alika preferred to rewind the pace. She continued to avoid if she wanted to be approached by her husband.
"No, Bill. I'm sure they're still alive in my stomach. Bilka, Abrar, let's get up, son!" Alika turned to bring her two eyeballs to stare at her distended stomach.
He still tried to feel his stomach, looking for the figure of his son's body. A little bit gives a small pinch to stimulate both children. But all that was nil, Bilka and Abrar were no longer moving. Maybe the two babies have drowned in their amniotic fluid since this morning.
"I've lost enough children, I don't want to lose a wife too-!" Again and again Bilmar's baritone voice just echoed the treatment room.
The look has turned serious. It hurts, but they need to be calm and realistic. If both twins they can no longer be helped. The eight-month-old baby, one week old, prefers to return to the lap of its creator.
****
It's late, but Alika still doesn't want to have surgery. The obstetrician has twice visited to check the situation and persuade him. The woman remains unwilling, her decision is still unanimous. She does not want to give birth now. He did not want to part with Bilka and Abrar. The woman was still curled up in bed, constantly calling out the names of their dead children.
Papa Bayu and Papa Luky have taken turns to persuade Alika, but the woman remains in her stance. She doesn't want to give birth now. Alika was still convinced that her children were still alive just that their pulse pressure was weakening.
Binar and Rendy are forced to return home to Bilmar because they have to take care of Girl, Maura and Ammar. It is impossible for the three children to be taken to the Hospital to see the condition of Bilmar and Alika like this.
Where is Bilmar?
It was seen that the doctor presented a file of approval for medical action to Bilmar to be signed immediately.
"Acts of operation must be taken tonight, sir. Your wife's blood pressure just kept going up, I can't imagine what would happen next, if the babies weren't born right now. Too dangerous!"
And this is where Bilmar is. He was still sitting in silence, staring at the file before him. "At least the Father should be more coercive of the Wife, this also for her safety---"
Grugs.
Saliva just pushed deep into his throat. With his face still half down and continued to stare at the file who had been calling himself to fill. He lifted his fingers to reach for the pen that had been prepared beside the paper.
Inevitably, the weight is getting heavier and the pain is getting jarring. With all his heart, Bilmar ventured to fill and sign the file.
"Patience, Sir. This is the best of God.." That sentence sounded so heartbreaking in Bilmar's heart.
He can only nod his head. There is no other way he can take, other than to let their twin babies rest in peace on the ground. Not taken to their rooms at home that has been completed in the renovation.
"Mah, please Bilmar! I can't stand it, Mah..."
