Possessive Love
Operating Room

At the hospital, Dara and several nurses were still trying to deal with Aretha who had screamed in pain, because the heartburn in her stomach was already unbearable.

After conducting a series of examinations on the content of Aretha, finding out the cause of the bleeding that occurred, Dara finally can take the decision that Aretha must be immediately cesarean, because of the position of the placenta that covers the cervix.

"Dok ... It hurts!!" aretha's screams that had been trying to hold back the pain in his lower abdomen.

"You're patient. We will deal with it as soon as we can" replied Dara trying to calm Aretha.

"So, it looks like this can't be delayed much longer, we have to take action immediately" one of the nurses suggested.

"Yes, Sure. Please prepare the file immediately!" decah Dara's.

"Okay, Doc!"

The young doctor immediately came out of the room, intending to convey the actions he would take, as he could not do much, before getting the approval of the patient's family.

It looked at Richard who was still waiting in front of the room with a very panicked expression at that moment. In fact, he was seen pacing indistinctly, as if relieving the panic that was disturbing his mind at that time.

Realizing that Dara had just walked out of the room, Richard immediately flinched, then immediately approached her with a slightly trembling body, due to the growing panic.

"How's it?" asked Richard enthusiastically. He looked at Dara questioningly.

"If you may know, where is her husband? Why did you bring him here?" ask Dara wonder.

"David is still on his way home from out of town" Richard replied flatly. "Then, what about Aretha's condition, is she okay?" tanyanya.

"The condition of Aretha is not possible to give birth normally, so immediately a caesarean section must be taken immediately," explained Dara who had suddenly made Richard buyak shocked.

"But because her husband and family are not around, I can't do much either, because however we need the consent of the patient's family" Dara added later, before Richard responded to anything.

"I've contacted his parents, maybe they'll come soon" Richard replied.

"Alright, then I stay first," replied Dara.

"Yes" Richard said.

Diandra went back inside the room, looking at Aretha who was still screaming in pain while calling the husband's name.

"You bear it, we'll take the best course of action for you and your son soon." Dara seemed to be trying to calm down.

"Where's David, Doc?" ask Aretha in the midst of her struggle against the increasingly painful heartburn.

"Your family is on the way, maybe soon they'll be in the hospital. You are patient and calm. Try to take a breath to reduce the pain" Dara explained.

"Mas ...," said Aretha.

In such a situation, there was not much she wanted other than the husband who was beside her, just accompanying her in the fight against pain.

However, whatever the power, he could not do much, other than waiting for David to come to see him. For some reason since the departure of the husband, he always felt tremendous anxiety, even now. It felt like David was going to come home and see him, and then give him support and encouragement.

However, what to say, when his expectations are inversely proportional to reality. As a wife, she can only hold her chest and pray, hopefully she can fight it all and her husband is fine, wherever he is.

It turns out that my worries were answered, why does it feel like I'm not willing to go out of town, Mas? This is the answer, I have problems with my womb, while you are not by my side. I'm sad, Mas. Hurry home! I want you to be by my side right now. I beg!

"Maas ...."

Aretha called her husband. Really, it felt like he was really powerless to fight alone, without the slightest support from the husband at that time. Finally, she regretted why she had to let her husband go, when she knew that the labor would not be long, according to the doctor's prediction. In fact, he had experienced it first, before reaching the time that had been predicted by the doctor.

Feeling unbearable, because seeing Aretha who had screamed continuously, Dara finally returned to meet Richard outside, hoping that the man could contact his family again.

"How, has his family come?" ask Dara to Richard who at that time still looks very panicked.

"Son Richard!"

Not yet Richard answered Dara's question, suddenly someone called him, suddenly distract both, both Richard and Dara.

The two Aretha's parents were walking hurriedly towards them. Like Richard, Aretha's parents also looked so panicked, because of the news he had already gotten from Richard related to Aretha's condition.

"Om, Auntie?" said Richard

"Where is Aretha?" ask Anton without making small talk.

"Aretha is inside, Om," replied Richard.

"How is he now?" anton asked while turning his focus towards Dara.

"The parents' father's patient?" dara asked to confirm first, before finally he gave an answer to Anton's question.

"Yes, we're her parents, Doc" Anton replied with a reassuring expression.

"All right." Dara put on a flat face.

"I'm sorry before, with a heavy heart I have to convey that the patient's condition is not fine, sir. As soon as possible we have to do surgery, that's also if the family approves, because to be able to give birth normally, it's very unlikely," explained Dara while giving understanding to both parents Aretha.

In that instant, Carmila who had not been able to say anything, because she was too worried about the condition of the princess, her tears suddenly spilled, tatkal heard from the doctor who had been treating Aretha.

"Do your best, Doc! I beg!" anton insisted without wanting to think longer, considering he no longer had any other choice, other than to agree to the advice of a doctor.

"Do it right now! Don't wait for her husband, because I'm afraid for a long time. I am sure her husband will also agree whatever is best for his wife and future baby. So, please do it immediately, let me talk to her husband later" replied Anton at length.

"Alright if the family of patients has agreed to it, we will immediately take action as soon as possible. Please Father and Mother are ready to wait for the process to be done," replied Dara, then say goodbye to immediately process what should be done, before the operation took place.

Carmila still has not stopped crying over her daughter who is struggling alone. He wanted to run, then hug his beloved daughter, even though it was just giving her peace and support. However, in fact, he can only wait for news from doctors who are either good news or vice versa.

"Pi, Aretha ... how about her," she shrieked in the midst of her cries.

Quickly, Anton hugged his wife. He knew how his wife felt at the time. Maybe it will be the same as how he feels. Perhaps also, as the mother who gave birth to Aretha, his wife would be much more worried than he was. Whatever it was, they both had high levels of anxiety back then.

"The patient mom. Believe equally papi that everything will be fine," Anton said as he rubbed his wife's back repeatedly.

"It looks like papi should call David right away, should he be home today, shouldn't he?" Anton stretched out his arms, then immediately reached into his pants pocket to pull out his cell phone.

Remembering those who were too panicked, when they got word from Richard, so they forgot to contact his daughter-in-law.

Richard, who had noticed the two, immediately informed him that he had contacted David first. He also told Aretha's parents that David was on his way.

"Oh so? Thank you, Son. Hopefully David will come soon" said Anton.

Without thinking anymore, Anton immediately contacted David's parents. Of course because he really appreciated the iron and however they must know how the condition of Aretha and her future baby at that time.

After some time, Anton was called to sign some files that the hospital did need as a condition for surgery. With all doubts about some bad possibilities that could happen, Anton was forced to sign a letter of approval to take action of the operation. I hope the decision is the best.

After a few minutes, three nurses were seen carrying Aretha out of the room. The woman looked very messy, obviously because she who had been holding back the heartburn that was getting painful for a long time.

The woman was still moaning as she called out her husband's name, as if she really wanted the figure to be by his side. Yeah, course. All wives will definitely feel the same way, when faced with things that are indeed stressful like that. All wives will need support and encouragement from their husbands. But what about Aretha. In fact, she herself did not know where her husband was now.

Carmila and Anton approach Aretha, who is lying on the bed while being pushed by the nurses to the operating room, with Richard also approaching.

"Mami ...," Aretha's seemingly helpless whine.

Quickly, Carmila immediately clasped her daughter's hand. "Darling, you are strong yes, you can definitely. Mami and papi are here for you" Carmila said as she walked after Aretha who continued to be pushed into the operating room.

"Honey, papi is sure you can get through this. Hang in!" timpal Anton did the same thing Carmila did.

Meanwhile, Richard could only stare at Aretha from a distance. Undeniably, he also felt pain, when he saw Aretha like that, even though the woman was no longer a nobody to him.

Yes, Lord .. protect Aretha, save her and her baby.

Aretha moved further away until finally the three nurses pushed her into the operating room.

There was not much they could do, other than staring at the door of the room that was immediately shut.

Again Carmila grew sobbing sedan in Anton's arms. Really, seeing the princess in such pain made her feel the pain.

Coinciding with Aretha's entry into the operating room, David's parents suddenly arrived there. They seemed to run a little toward Anton and Carmila who were in the middle of the scene.

"Sir Anton, what about Aretha?" kris asked in panic.

Anton immediately released the wife's body, then explained to the iron about Aretha's condition, as described by the doctor to him.

Carmila, meanwhile, appears to be turning into Mary's arms. Maria, who was the mother-in-law of Aretha, wept after hearing of Aretha's true condition. Of course, he was very worried about his son-in-law and future grandchildren.

"Patience, Jeng .. Our daughter and her baby must be fine." Maria tried to calm Carmila down.

"Then, where's David? Did he come inside?" asked Kris who had not seen the figure of his son in that place.

"Son David still hasn't come home, sir. Two days ago he went out of town" Anton said.

"What?" Kris looked surprised. "It is possible that he left his wife in this state of old pregnancy" his grunts were upset.

Hearing that, Carmila immediately tried to explain that the doctor's prediction about the birth process Aretha was a little missed. Aretha should give birth in the next few days, maybe that's the reason for David, why he dared to leave his wife in a state of old pregnancy.

"Well, I'll call the boy" Kris said, taking his device out of the pocket of his pants.

"Om, I actually contacted David. He should have arrived here, only until now there really was not," Richard explained. Kris seemed to digest his words at that moment.

"Om will call him back" Kris replied.

Without waiting for the command again, Kris immediately contacted David. However, he was immediately astonished, when the one who picked up the phone from him was not David, but someone else whose voice was unknown.

"WHAT??"
