Night Destiny
Stay With Us

In a hospital, in the delivery room. A young woman is betting her life gives birth to her baby. A sweat filled his forehead, his body crumbling like it was hit a thousand times. Next to him, a man was seen holding his hand. Giving kiss and spirit does not forget the prayer he always recited in the heart.

"Pull your breath, Mom. Then exhale. Repeat again. And follow my instructions."

The woman nodded weakly, her body tired, yet she was not willing to give up.

"Take a deep breath, and then you!."

Moans were heard again, pain clearly reflected on Salwa's face. Since an hour ago, the woman struggled to give birth to her baby and Seno.

"Rest first."

Salwa hugged her husband's stomach. Dunked his face there and shed tears. It is a great struggle of a mother. Now he feels it. And certainly not up to here the struggle. A mother still has to breastfeed her child. Caring for, raising and educating her to be a sholeh and sholeha child.

Salwa looked at the sad face of Seno, the man who had the status of her husband. The man who is so considerate of her and the man who is always there when she needs. Seno remained patient with him even though Salwa was often even rude to him. The man loved her so sincerely. Even Salwa was aware, Senolah the best man destined for her. But he has the prestige to admit that.

But now, he realized that he had fallen in love with Seno. She did not want to lose her husband.

"Pull a deep breath and push."

Salwa strained with all her might until the sound of baby crying broke through the entire room.

"Congratulations Sir, Ma. The baby's a girl and she's perfect."

Seno shed tears. His body went limp after witnessing for itself how his daughter was removed and removed from his wife's womb. The feeling warmed up, now he was already a father. Yeah, Dad. Either Dad, or be a mother all at once.

After cleaning, baby Seno is placed on his mother's chest. She saw clearly, how her daughter was writhing, her red body was trying to move her body. And his tiny mouth was trying to find ***** his mother's milk.

"Our son is beautiful like you."

Seno's praise made Salwa smile thinly. The shape of the baby's face is similar to her but her nose, eyes and mouth are similar to Seno's.

"You're free, Sal. You gave birth to her and from now on I'll let you go."

Salwa's heart pumps faster. He looked at Seno who was smiling softly towards him.

"I-i-."

"Sorry, Sir, Mom. The baby we brought to wear clothes first. Our mother will also clean it."

Hearing the nurse's words, Seno immediately walked out of the room. There was Danar and Anya who looked so happy.

"Hows it? The baby and the mother are healthy, right?" asked Anya.

"The baby and his mother are healthy, Ma, Pa. They're being cleaned and will be moved to the treatment room soon."

Danar approached Seno, he patted her daughter-in-law gently on the back. "Don't be pessimistic. May Salwa's heart open and she will keep you and your baby."

Seno smiled faintly, "I hope so too Pa. But I don't want to be too hopeful, I have to be ready for whatever the decision is."

Danar stared at his daughter-in-law's slice, her adopted daughter stubborn. Their household has not been said to be good either. While the household of her biological daughter is also problematic.

The nurse took Salwa's cage to the treatment room. Behind him there is also a nurse who pushed the baby box. Anya approached the box. He looked at the face of his beautiful grandson. Enthusiastically the middle-aged woman followed the nurse to the room where Salwa would rest. And Danar and Seno.

Upon arrival in the room, the nurse said goodbye. Anya headed straight for her daughter and granddaughter.

"Are you okay, baby?."

Salwa only gave a nod. His mind drifted back to Seno's words a few minutes ago.

"Your daughter is so beautiful" Danar said, staring at her grandson. Then the middle-aged man looked at his daughter. The daughter he loved was like his own son. "You've become a mother. You know how hard a woman's struggle is to give birth to her child. Look at your baby" Salwa looked at the sleeping baby. "He deserves complete affection from both his parents. I hope you put your ego aside for the sake of your daughter's happiness."

Salwa did not answer, and Danar let out a long sigh. "You need time to talk to both. We'll go first. I hope you make the right decision, dear."

Danar and Anya leave Salwa and Seno together. Both men are silent.

Seno looked at the face of his wife who still looked tired. Supposedly, now Salwa rests. But the decision Danar made was also for their good. There are children they cannot ignore.

"I won't force you to stick with us. If you want to go, I-I!."

"This baby is also my son. I'm not leaving him."

Seno was silent, he had mistaken. She thought Salwa wouldn't give her their baby. Seno realized, he should not be selfish. All her son needed was Salwa. Moreover, the life of his son in the next six months depends on him.

"Well, if that's your decision. I will be the one to get out of your lives. But I'm asking, please don't stop me."

"Stay with us!."

Seno looked at Salwa in disbelief. Not wanting to be misheard, the man asked back the words he had just heard.

"W-What did you say?."

"Stay with us" said Salwa lirih. Now the woman dared to look at her husband. "I-I want you to remain a husband to me and a father to our son."

Can not be described, the feeling of Seno is really happy. But he should not be complacent, Seno wants direct evidence "You are sure of your words. Don't you want to live with me? And you love Azka too."

Salwa bit her lower lip, between annoyance, and also embarrassment. "I-i ... Um, I realized something. Feelings cannot be forced, nor do I feel for Azka. He loves Salsa. Why should I wait for someone who is clear - obviously not willing to accept me if there is another man who sincerely loves me and loves me."

Seno silently smiled, "So?."

"I don't want to waste my life with anything uncertain. I should also be more grateful for what I have right now. I was raised by good parents like Mama and Papa. At first I was lulled, I even selfishly hurt their biological daughter. But now I realize, everything I did was wrong. I don't really have a real family. All my family have been facing God. When I had kids and a husband that were the reason I stayed, why would I take one of them off."

"So you want to accept me as your husband? You want to live with me to old?."

Salwa nodded, "I can't let go of a good man like you. There are children among us. I don't want to sacrifice it just for my selfishness."

"Do you love me?" Seno's question made Salwa silent. When asked about love? Maybe the answer is. But it cannot be denied that the taste for Azka is still there even though it slowly begins to erode by itself.

"Surely not yet," replied Seno lirih.

Salwa looked at her husband, she was sure to choose this man in front of her to wade through her life until death to pick her up. "Aware or not, I-I started loving you. And I hope, you'll help me so that I really love you."
