My Old Star
#137 Welcome to the World
Arfan parked his vehicle carelessly and asked the parking attendant to tidy it up after getting out of the car. It just so happens that people who are guarding the parking at the graduation event this time are very familiar with Arfan.
In the past when Arfan was still teaching, they often met at the campus mosque to pray dzhuhur congregation. Arfan often treats him to lunch so that the person is very lost when Arfan decides to resign from campus.
"Pak Arfan came here to attend whose event sir?" Ask Mang Kosim to Arfan when approaching Arfan who got off his car.
"I came because my wife graduated today Mang. Ask me to trim my car, Mang, because I'm in a hurry."
"Ready Sir!"
Arfan gave his car keys to Mang Kosim then rushed out of the parking lot.
Arfan's long steps led him to the building where the event was taking place and the graduation procession was just beginning.
Arfan knew at what number Mentari was currently sitting on, he headed straight to where the girl was to give her a surprise.
How surprised Mentari when he saw Arfan approaching him, friends Mentari was very amazed to see Arfan closely. The person who had all this time made anyone who saw him instantly fascinated, and currently that person was before them.
Arfan is no longer young even he is married, but all that does not reduce the charm of Arfan to be ready to see it.
"Are you surprised?" Arfan asked who was sitting next to his wife.
"I was very surprised Brother, I didn't expect Brother to come."
"I can't possibly miss an event like this dear."
"Was the office going well?"
"Sister's not nervous, is he?" Connect Mentari.
"Everything is going well, dear" Arfan smiled very sweetly at his wife's behavior who turned out to be very worried about him.
"Thank God, sister, I can't imagine if it was me, I would be so nervous."
"Have not discussed again yes, we better focus on today's event."
Not long after, the name Mentari was called to rise to the podium. Arfan accompanied Mentari and walked beside the girl.
The cheers of all the graduates echoed inside the building.
"I'm so nervous, brother." Mentari clasped Arfan's hand so he could calm down a little.
"Calm down, baby, I'm right next to you."
"Stare ahead and shake your chest. Stay confident because you're the best."
Mentari nodded and did what Arfan told him to do.
Mentari achieved the title with the highest score and the youngest student to successfully complete S2 with the fastest time.
Mentari was asked to convey a word as a representative of all students who graduated today.
Arfan stood beside Mentari as his wife delivered her speech.
The word for word Mentari conveyed was very straightforward and very heart touching, making everything inside the building feel moved.
As the minister descended after closing his speech, he returned to his chair to watch the series of events still unfolding.
Upon exiting the building, she is greeted by Tomi's family as well as the children who are already looking forward to today's event.
"Sir Mentari survived, if he grew up, Stev would like to be like Brother." Steven hugged Mentari and gave her flowers.
"Thank you dear Stev, Stev must study diligently so that Stev's ideals are achieved."
"Yes my brother must have studied diligently" Stev promised Mentari.
Sania and Tomi also congratulate Mentari, not to miss Ilyas and his mother also came to congratulate him. Similarly, the children who came to congratulate Mentari.
"Congratulations on sister-in-law's graduation, we're very happy." Dio represents his friends and gives gifts to Mentari.
"Thank you, you guys just want to come be happy for me, no need to bother like this."
"We sincerely gave it so it should be accepted yes brother-in-law."
"Alright then," Mentari smiled very happily.
"So I also have a gift for you, take it!" Ilyas gave a gift to Mentari as a greeting.
"Thank you Ilyas, you'll definitely catch up with me. I'll graduate Yas!"
Arfan invited all those present to Mentari's graduation event this time to have lunch together and celebrate his wife's graduation after all congratulating Mentari.
Not to miss Siska with her parents and Arman also joined the group to celebrate their graduation.
When lunch together suddenly Mentari's stomach feels uncomfortable. He continued to hold onto his stomach with cold sweat pouring out.
The sun gripped Arfan's arm very tightly and the atmosphere turned into panic.
"Mom how is this?" Ask Arfan to Miss Kartika.
"Don't panic, son, it looks like Mentari is going to give birth. We'd better get him to the hospital now, Fan."
"Good Mom."
"I'm coming!" pinta Siska wants to take her best friend to the hospital.
Arfan nodded and without a second thought, Arfan lifted his wife's body towards the parking lot after ordering Tomi to take care of everything.
Arfan drove his car on the highway, he didn't want anything to happen to his son and wife. While Siska joined the car driven by Arman behind Arfan's car.
Sometimes Arfan looked at the rear cabin to see the condition of Mentari who was leaning on his mother's lap.
They managed to get to the hospital in a short time because of Arfan's skill in driving.
The nurse immediately took Mentari to the delivery room to check on her condition with Arfan accompanying her.
Arfan looks very nervous and sad to see the condition of his wife, it seems that he will never have the heart to see his favorite woman feel pain for the sake of giving birth to their baby.
"You must be strong, baby, don't give up. I love you." Arfan shed his tears looking at Mentari who was enduring the pain.
The team of doctors had prepared to deliver because the opening was complete, the team of doctors led by doctor Sandra began to guide Mentari to take a breath and take it out slowly.
Sweat splashed on the forehead of Mentari who skillfully wiped him, the man who was no longer young was felt to feel the struggle of his wife, who was already, join in feeling the pain and promise in his heart that at any time he will never waste Mentari for any reason, seeing the struggle Mentari so extraordinary to give birth to their children.
The sound of crying babies breaking throughout the room, Arfan and Mentari both shed tears at the birth of their babies. The happy cries of Mentari and Arfan over the birth of their first son.
"Congratulations Mr. Arfan and Mrs Mentari, your boys. He's very healthy and complete with everything."
"Thank you doc" replied Arfan.
After their baby was cleansed, Arfan held her and tried her son with feelings of haru.
"Looky Papa's son, welcome to the world."
Mentari and her baby were taken to the treatment room to recover their condition before being allowed to go home.
Grandma Wijaya came to the hospital with Grandpa Mahmud, Mentari's parents had just come home to rest because they had been in the hospital since noon to accompany Arfan and Mentari. Siska and Arman will return tomorrow.
Grandma Wijaya immediately hugged Mentari as soon as she entered the nursery, "Thank you dear, you have given a great-grandchild to Grandma."
"Don't forget that I'm also with Nek." Arfan sat down pretending to be upset because his Grandmother is even more affectionate to Mentari than he is.
"You're a father still being childish."
Arfan suddenly hugged his Grandma, "Thank you, Grandma, if it wasn't for Grandma I probably wouldn't have been strong to this extent."
"You're my Grandma's encouragement, baby, because you're the one Grandma keeps fighting."
They seemed to cry together, the birth of Arfan's first child made all able to pour out their feelings that had been hidden. That happiness makes them realize how important family is to them.
Grandma Wijaya held Arfan's child and invited him to chatter.
Arfan approached Mentari and kissed the girl's forehead so deeply.
"You're a great woman, baby, our son will be as intelligent as you are."
"He'll be handsome like sister."
Arfan smiled at his wife's reply, "It turns out you admit that I'm handsome?"
"If you're not handsome, how could I have liked you since I first met you, brother."
Arfan hugged his little wife who he loved so much that their happiness was complete with the presence of a son in his second small family.
After being treated for three days, Mentari and her baby are allowed to go home by the hospital, giving birth normally makes Mentari recover faster and can move independently well even though it can not be as fast as usual.
"Welcome to my dear home, you are the prince of this house." Arfan said as he placed his son on the bed they had prepared especially for their son.
