Moments after Johan left, a faint sound of baby crying was heard, making Rizal and Renata who heard felt very happy when they knew that what they were waiting for had arrived. Both of them thanked them for the birth of their grandchildren.
"Bah, that's my grandson's voice!" she cried so happily hugging her husband.
"Yes Mah, that's our granddaughter. He was born, Alhamdulillah... Thank you, Lord" replied Rizal hugging his wife back.
After the operation was completed, a nurse came out carrying the baby, who was the successor of their family, Renat and Rizal stop the nurse who will take their grandchildren to the nursery to be cleaned and recorded.
"Can we see him for a second?" tanya Renata was happy to look at her grandson, but also looked confused when the nurse looked so rushed out of the operating room. Shouldn't the first thing they should have told them was that the operation was over and that the grandson had been born? But why would the nurse pass them if they hadn't stopped her.
"Please Mr. Madam. But only for a moment because the baby must be immediately under the Baby's cage!" replied the nurse gave a moment before continuing her steps.
"Well, why do they look so panicked?" asked Renat who also began to feel anxious about his making, Renata's anxiety grew when he saw several nurses also coming out of the operating room in a hurry.
"What's wrong? Did something bad happen?" rizal asked the nurse.
"Look, the patient's condition is weakened. Everyone's trying to save the patient, I'm sorry!" the nurse answered quickly, leaving Renat and Rizal speechless to hear it.
"Well, Amelia, huh? What's wrong with her?" asked Renata who couldn't help but cry to hear the nurse's words. Renata was sitting limp on the floor after asking her husband a question, suddenly her muscles felt soft, and her body felt weak, a few months together of course has made Renata become closer to Amelia even though their closeness is not like him and Johan, but they are close enough between in-laws and daughters-in-law. Various possibilities crossed Renata's mind especially if considering Amelia always apologized and said she would leave after giving birth to her granddaughter.
Rizal who saw his wife sitting on the hospital floor quickly asked her to get up and sit on the chair there.
"Well, last time she apologized to Mama. He went back saying if he was going far, he left his son to his mother. She asked her mother to give her child great affection, she asked her mother to take care of her and raise her child. She kept saying if she was going to go far away, but every mama asked where she was going? Amelia always replied that she would go very far, but would still monitor her child's development. Pah, what if Amel really left .. "Renata said with her cry stopped as Rizal carried Renata into his arms. Everything Renata said was true because Amelia had said the same thing to Rizal.

"Oh my God, my Lord. Please save my wife and children, please keep all the bad news from me, O God. Give me a chance to be a good father, give me a chance to prove everything I say, give me a chance to prove that I can be a more useful and better human being than before. Please God, may Amelia give birth to our child safely. May He and my son make it through it all safely and be able to come together with us by bringing in new members in our lives. Please grant my prayers, God! Amin yaa rabbal alamin," Johan said in his prayer, after finishing the prayer.
Johan returned to his parents after the prayer, his footsteps stopped for a moment with a chest that felt tight to see the scenery in front of him, where both parents embraced with the cry of his mother who sounded heartbreaking.
"Well, Dad!" johan said he continued his steps again, along with the doctor who came out of the operating room.
"What about my daughter-in-law?" rizal asked quickly to look at the doctor.
"I'm sorry, sir, Madam. We have tried to give our best, but destiny says something else. The patient has died,"
