From the windshield, Viani could only watch as their son was being handled by several paramedics. The woman in the wheelchair could only lean weakly on her husband.
Alvin's eyes glazed over, praying in his heart that the baby was okay. His eyes glanced at Vincent who was hugging Viani's body which already looked resigned. The couple watched as their baby died.
Be ill. Alvin's chest is tight to see. And so did everyone who witnessed.
Niko and Erika appear shortly after. They immediately embrace their children and daughters-in-law who are being hit by overwhelming fear.
“We share God yes, Vin ..” whispered Erika to Vincent.
All of the people stared anxiously at the figure inside the incubator. All praying in the heart, all hand in hand, gave strength to Vincent especially Viani.
However, not all efforts do not betray results. Viani's eyes were wide-eyed at the moment when all the paramedics finally removed their hands from their baby.
Suddenly Viani's body trembled.
“Vi?” Vincent called out to Viani who looked strange. His body trembled incessantly like it could not be controlled. Everyone panicked and tried to resuscitate the woman.
Not long after, Viani lost consciousness.
***
Viani's yellow skin felt a low temperature around her body. When he opened his eyes, he was already in a different room from yesterday. The AC was cold. Feels familiar.
Ah, this is the room she's been to. His eyes frowned and looked around. There was no one in his room. Only a few paramedics passed by opposite him.
Sound “bip” unpretentious between one room and another room. He tried to move his head to the side and make a sound. But his throat was stuck in a hose that entered through his nose.
One of the nurses who realized that Viani had opened her eyes came to him. “Bu Viani? Can Miss Viani see me? If you can, please blink 2 times, Bu.”
Viani blinked twice. Before long, Viani fell asleep again.
***
“Did he sleep a lot like this? One day he was unconscious."
“It's okay, Sir. Viani's mother is already in stable condition.”
“Nothing if my wife is moved now?”
“Doctors already allow, Sir.”
Viani regained consciousness and found herself not wearing a hose on her nose. When his eyes opened, Viani seemed to get new strength to make a louder voice, even though it sounded so soft.
“Vin ..”
The one called turned his head, smiled widely and immediately sat down beside him. “Honey? Did you realize?”
Right now, the image that Viani captured was her husband looking changed. His body was now much thinner. His hair was cut short neatly, his appearance was awake, there was no thin sideburn on his face like he had seen in the NICU the other day. Very fresh, and very handsome, even though his weight is not like yesterday.
Very different from her who looks very swollen—wait!
Viani stared at her hand that was attached to the infusion. Skinny-ralat-smaller? Did Viani lose weight in one night? He looked back at his lower body, no longer swollen like yesterday.
“Let's move the room, Ma'am,” said a nurse who showed up and pushed Viani's gurney out of the ICU room.
Calmly, Vincent walked beside Viani towards the VVIP room he occupied yesterday. The smell of this room feels fresher than the ICU room earlier. Viani was traumatized to see the ICU because.
“I live first yes, Sir, Ma ..” the nurse said politely after Viani moved to a new gurney.
The woman ignored the nurse. He just stared around the room in silence.
“Welcome back my dear,” said Vincent who sat beside him and stroked his wife's head with affection and deep longing.
"Back?" ask Viani confused.
"You're in a coma, honey."
"Well?!"
From Vincent's mouth flowed all the flashbacks of what had happened to him. Viani shut her mouth, she was shocked to hear the reality. Pre eclampsia relapsed, he also had heart failure.
"One month?" ask him again in disbelief.
"Yes. But now, you're awake." Vincent grabs Viani's hand, kisses her wrist deeply without cutting off her gaze from the wife and closes her eyes as Viani's warm hand hits her face.
Vincent's eyes were filled with teardrops ready to fall. "I'm so scared of losing you. I thank God because you've come back with me."
Vincent's body moved forward and grabbed Viani. The man's shoulders trembled and the moaning sound rang out.
"I'm awake, Vin."
The man kissed the top of Viani's head and sat back down. "This cheer's all coming, honey. I've already notified our parents. Mama Gemma did not stop your friend. Last night he came home to come back again this afternoon."
Then suddenly a feeling made Viani back in mourning. "He's buried?"
Vincent frowned. She who?
Viani's hand was stretched out, stroking her stomach which already had no baby in it. Her chest is so tight.
Vincent, who realized Viani's silence, clasped his wife's hand tightly. “Why, Dear?”
Instantly Viani's tears spilled like a dam broke. Vincent's body was back, his hands tightly hugging his wife. "Vi.. don't cry."
"I'm a bad mother, I haven't even had the chance to love you yet."
No more response from Vincent. The man let go of his embrace. He took water and drank from a glass. Unmindful of Viani who still continued to cry in sorrow.
"Take me, Vin! Take me to the funeral. I'm gonna go see ki-ki's son"
"Excuse me, Mr. Vincent's baby is done bathing" said a nurse after knocking and opening the door.
Viani. "My Babyyyyy!!"
