Only Raised Children
128. Happiness and Grief
Hooeekk…
The cry of a baby is heard from a delivery room. At that time the first child of the couple Rico and Alina had been born into the world. After nine months of pregnancy, and approximately eight hours of enduring extreme pain, Alina now managed to fight for her heart to be born into this world.
Seeing his wife's struggle, Rico's handsome face was endlessly flooded with tears. Whether it was the tears of sadness because they could not see the pain experienced by his wife, or the tears of happiness because of the melodious voice of a tiny baby's scream that was clearly heard in his ears.
A baby who is female sex makes the new parents a little surprised, because when checking the gender of the child about 3 months ago, the doctor has estimated if their child is a male gender. But who would have thought if the one born today was a baby girl? They now wonder if the Doctor who handled them lied by saying different gender, or even the Doctor was wrong?
Rico who at that time could not help his curiosity, after judging his daughter, he immediately asked one of the Doctors who handled his wife's innards. She still could not believe that her son was a woman.
"OK, why is my daughter? At the USG yesterday, Doctor Siska said that our son's guess is a boy."
"Sorry sir, I'm just doing my job to help Alina's mother give birth. For the matter of gender, we can not manage it because it has become the destiny of the Above. If according to Doctor Siska's estimation during the USG yesterday your son, then you may be able to ask him directly," the doctor's answer that does not make relief to Rico and Alina.
The two people were currently still filled with confusion. How can Doctor Siska misguided, while he is an obstetrician who has long served in the hospital.
It was not that they did not accept the presence of his daughter. They accepted it so much, they never had a problem about their child's gender for so long, only they were very surprised because it was beyond reason. All have been carefully prepared by his family to welcome the presence of a baby boy today, but who would have thought if God would have another.
Having not thought of a name for his daughter, Rico asks for some advice from his family who are currently outside the room. Since Alina was admitted to the hospital about nine hours ago, all her family has been waiting for her daughter who will be born in turn. And when Alina experienced the last opening, all the families began to gather to wait for the birth process to be completed.
"Yes, no papa, Bang. Men and women are the same, but isn't it more fun to have a daughter?" santi said without taking issue with it.
"But all the stuff we've bought all this time is for boys. Do I have to buy again?" ask Zara later.
"No papa, Ma. His son is still a baby too, wear anything is not a problem anyway," said Rico.
"All right, so what's my granddaughter called?"
The question from Thomas makes everyone now refocus to give a name to the newborn baby girl. Now everyone there began to think, looking for a beautiful name that would be used by a tiny baby who is still in the hands of the Doctor.
"What about Balqis? She will be like the wealthy queen Balqis, a respected leader, and will get a perfect man like Sulaiman" Morgan said after two minutes of no vote.
Everyone stared at him. There were astonished faces there because Morgan was so quick to give advice, with a very beautiful meaning as well. Every word that came out of the man's mouth sounded amazing. They couldn't help but give him a compliment.
"Tumen," cried Thomas then who broke things.
"How can you think so fast, my dear? Giving a name with a very beautiful meaning," said Zara then praised. Only this time the son spoke seriously and made them praise him directly like this.
But not Morgan who can be like Alfian or his parents with a seriousness. After being praised by his parents, the man showed his cell phone screen and said to them so as to make everyone sigh in annoyance.
"I'm searching google" he said.
"From the beginning Papa was suspicious" Thomas murmured.
Everyone frowned upon hearing the last name mentioned by Rico.
"Why Fabian, honey?" santi asked in wonder which at the same time represented the other confusion.
"Mama once showed Rico the belongings of Rico's parents a few years ago. In one of the small books, Rico sees the name written behind Rico's name. Rico is convinced that it was Rico's real name before Papa and Mama gave Renaldi's name. Rico just wants Rico's son to not forget who Rico was before he met you."
Everyone who heard him smiled. The thought of the man who did not want to forget his true self before becoming who he is now.
Santi and Irfan who had wanted to give the name Renaldi to their grandchildren were now willing to let Rico give his name to his baby. He has the right to do that because that is the real name of Rico and they have no right to ask for more.
"alright. My grandson's name is Balqis Aizia Fabian."
Irfan's last piece of advice ended up being the conclusion of the decision tonight. Balqis Aizia Fabian will be the name for the daughter of Alina and Rico.

Everyone was so stunned to see the tiny baby still in red. Although her face was still the same as the faces of the babies in general, but they could all judge if the little Balqis would become a very beautiful woman later. Moreover, her pliable eyelashes, her small lips, and her pointed nose, make everyone impatient to wait for the growth of the tiny baby.
After getting the opportunity to hold a small Balqis, all family members said goodbye to go home. The time is limited because the clock is starting to approach the number eleven, making them unable to linger there. Although not satisfied to see his adorable grandson, but they must leave immediately so that Alina and her baby can immediately rest. Tomorrow they will come back to settle their dissatisfaction seeing and holding little Balqis.

The next day, Alina and Rico's entire family come to the hospital to see the state of her son and granddaughter, as well as to pick her back home. Alina has been allowed home by the Doctor and she will stay at her parents' residence first, before returning to Renaldi's residence.
Upon arriving home, the rest of the family turned out to have been at Wilson's residence. This morning they gathered at the Wilson residence to welcome the presence of baby Balqis, as well as the relationship between two large families.
In the guest room on the first floor, alternately the family members go inside to see baby Balqis with the mother who is now sitting on the mattress. Some of them focused on the tiny baby, and as another one invited Alina to have a casual chat. Alina was so happy her family could come together like this to visit her who had just given birth to her first child. He did not expect that his entire family in Indonesia and the entire family of Rico would gather at his parents' residence like this.
But in the midst of her happiness, elsewhere in a nursery in one of the city's hospitals, seen a crying Rena sobbing in the arms of her husband.
Last night when Rena was about to get out of the bathroom, the woman accidentally stepped on the slippery floor so that she fell on the floor with blood flooding her legs. This morning Rena has been unconscious twice since knowing that the child in the womb is no longer there. He was so hit with this calamity that befell him, did not expect that the content he had been maintaining as well as possible for approximately 3 months had to just leave him.
Although doctors have previously said if it is very difficult to maintain this weak content, but he still did not expect if it would really happen. And how disappointed Rena was when she found out that what made her future child leave was none other than her own carelessness. It also made Rena very hit and very guilty.
Andi and the two Rena parents who are also sad over this disaster feel increasingly claustrophobic when they see the crying of the Renaissance that is so bitter. In fact, they had to resign when Rena was given a sedative so that she would no longer continue to rampage which would make her injured and her health declined.
Alina still did not know the disaster that befell her friend. She only found out about it one day after the incident and then through her husband who got news from Andi directly.
Andi deliberately told Rico because he could not come to visit his son because his wife had just had a miscarriage. When he found out, Rico was very sorry for him, but also could not do anything but pray for him.
When Alina got the news, she immediately grabbed her phone to delete some posts about her pregnancy. He did it just to keep his grieving friend feeling. She did not want Rena to become even more sad because she saw her happiness from her post.
