Juan and Stella have been on the last rungs of the ladder. But they both still focused on Stella's footsteps. It was seen several times that this woman stopped stepping. Resetting his breath again. Then step again. Heartburn is increasingly attacking. So that he only focused on the stairs he was about to step on. His gaze continued downward, afraid of misdirection and falling down. Stella should be more careful. Even if it hurts, you can't hurry. There are two lives he is guarding. His life and the life of the baby in his womb.
Juan also remains alert to keep the body and footsteps of this ayu woman. Don't let it collapse in the middle of the road. Juan did not want to regret it later.
Seeing the friend of trouble. Rehan quickly took it, taking Stella. Because, Stella was seen no longer able to step. It looks like Stella's 'moment' to give birth is imminent.
"Still strong, Mam?" ask Juan.
"I don't think so, Pi. So sick!" stella replied, shouting a little. His eyes glazed over. Cold sweat started coming out from the forehead of this ayu woman. Juan was nervous.
"It's best to go straight to the hospital, bro. I think the opening has been a lot of this," said Rehan. This man must have known, because he was more experienced than Juan.
"Okay, man" replied Juan. Spontaneously, he immediately carried Stella and took her out of the house. Rehan is ready. He ran in front of Juan and prepared to open the door for his friend.
"Don't be nervous, Bro. You have to be stronger than him. Understood!" rehan warned.
"Ready, Bro!" juan replied firmly.
Lucky Gani was also on standby. Seeing the big boss in a hurry, he responded and immediately opened the car door for them.
"Thank you, Gan," said Juan
"Re, help me one more time yes, please take Stella's car. Mother and baby equipment is there. Say my apologies to your boss" Juan asked, not waiting for Rehan's answer . He got into the car to calm Stella, who was crying from the pain she felt.
Without saying much Rehan also responded to the request of the friend. Meanwhile, Gani immediately started the car and began to drive the vehicle and prepare to take the employer to the hospital.

Inside Juan's house, there was Zein sitting limp. Holding his head, which felt like exploding. Staring at the floor that seemed to laugh at him. Crying regretted what he had done to the woman.
"Are you okay?" ask Rehan slowly.
Zein couldn't answer. He could only cry in silence.
"You have to be strong for Stella. It's not easy for him either" Rehan said. Trying to advise Zein to understand, that he's not the only one who's sick. If Stella knew she was present now, I don't know what would happen to that woman.
Zein rubbed his face water rough. Trying to hold yourself back from emotions.
"When did you know Juan's wife was him?" ask Zein slowly.
"Don't provoke a fuss now, Zein. I know you must be disappointed. But remember, do not vent your emotions now. Don't point anything at Juan for now. You know, facing a wife who is about to give birth is not as easy as a shadow. His soul is struggling between life and death. I hope you understand Zein" Rehan warned.
Zein couldn't answer what Rehan said. Because what he says is true. Zein should be able to refrain from getting angry.
"Why did this have to happen to me, Re? Is this pain a loss?" ask Zein to Rehan.
Rehan hush. Trying to be a listener for a piece of heart that is now feeling the pain of losing.
"I want to fix my mistakes, Re. That's why I'm looking for him. Unfortunately I was late. She's happy, but why should I be with my best friend. The man I already consider a brother, Re. I should how?" Zein was crying again. His voice began to hoarse, like not ready to befriend with solitude.
"I think we should go to the hospital. There's stuff Stella and the baby need. However, if you are unable to. Let me go myself. You wait here or?" ask Rehan.
"No, for now I don't want to make Juan suspicious. I'll try to hold my ego!" zein replied weakly.
"Good is better, I hope you can be more mature, Boss," Rehan replied. Then there's no more talking. Rehan did not want to awaken the selfish side this man had. It is better now to remain silent and keep trying to extinguish the selfish fire of Zein that may at any time be lit.
Several times Rehan glanced at Zein who was still silently silent. Actually he pity, but want how else. Zein must continue to accept the consequences of his mistakes.
