"I had a chance to curse what happened to me. But now, hearing and seeing that mother and Aska are well off, I seem to have changed my mind. They are my world, their happiness is more important than anything else. Then now there's my son-in-law, whose life depends on me. Oh, my God, is this how you're gonna make me survive? You gave them as my spirit. Thank you for not making me give up so easily at the beginning of this game." Manda spoke softly while gently rubbing her stomach.
The clear thread just fell without warning. Actually, this young lady figure was fragile. He became more prone to crying and sensitive to everything.
All she needs at a time like this is the support of her partner. But whatever the power, he doesn't have it. His only source of strength right now is his mother, sister, and future baby. Seeing them happy also makes Manda more determined to live it all.
"What is my choice is correct by hiding the pregnancy and also the birth of her later. But ... I also don't have enough courage to be honest with mom."
Manda rubbed gently on her stomach. There was sadness in his chest where this morning he saw a young couple who were so harmonious when he bought a side dish. As for him, there is absolutely nothing. He was just dealing with all this alone by pretending to be tough.
The sound of knocking on the door followed by the sound of Mr. Ali made Manda turn his head. She wiped her tears immediately. He did not want to show his sadness at all.
"Mother, sorry there is a package from the Father," exclaimed Mr. Ali from the front of the big door.
"Package, What package?" manda muttered softly as he set his pace closer to the source of the sound.
"What package?" ask Manda after opening the door.
The pregnant woman then sat on the front porch chair with her big belly. He seemed to be breathing heavily while breathing. Seemed so difficult when breathing oxygen.
"Definitely ma'am?" ask Mr. Ali.
"Yes, Sir. Last night I had a contraction. Eh but you are silent yes, this is not yet the date is still less than 5 days. You do not say Mr. Abi yes," said Manda asked Mr. Ali to cooperate.
"Well, why can't you. Mr. Abi is my husband" asked Mr. Ali.
"No, not yet Sir. We're just getting married" Amanda replied with a sigh of unease. He was most uncomfortable when he talked about it.
Mr. Ali could not ask or comment. He just kept quiet with his awkward expression. He resigned because he felt bad after asking such a question.
A few minutes after Amanda came in, her phone rang. The phone only had two numbers stored in it. Abhimana Dipta number and the other is Ninik's bibik number. Amanda has changed her phone and she has not dared to turn on her old phone for fear that friends and lecturers will contact her.
[ "Hello Mr. Abi," Amanda replied across the line.
"Hi Manda, what was my delivery of Sampek?" ask Abimana who this time uses more relaxed language than before.
"U ... already," replied Amanda although with nervousness.
"Have you tried? That's a dress for our tomorrow. I deliberately choose a dress without brocade only because you are easily sultry. It's nothing, is it?"
"That's okay, sir, and thank you. Thank you for caring about me."
"I? Come on, I'm normal with Manda. We want to get married, it doesn't have to be formal. My side verdict has come out. I'm legitimately not Clarissa's husband anymore. So no one's delaying our contract again this time."
"Yes, it's nothing. I understand, I also understand how the position and condition of the Father." Amanda answered him quietly and his voice sounded strange with a little restrained and hissing.
"Manda, what's wrong with you? What is Contraction?" abimana asked with a panicked voice.
Amanda instead of answering, she just hissed again. "Shhh ..."]
Tut!
"Ac ...!" hiss Amanda endured the pain in her stomach.
Not long after, Mr. Ali immediately knocked on the door. Long getting a response, Mr. Ali immediately opened the door and how surprised he was when he found his employer was lying on the floor. Amanda collapsed.
"Mother ...! Well, how's this ...?" Mr. Ali was half-dead confused.
She was so scared when she saw Amanda. Abhimana had just given the order to check on Amanda and it turned out that Abhimana was lying unconscious. Around Amanda's body there is a puddle of water that is slightly yellowish.
"The water must be amniotic fluid" Mr Ali said before he called an ambulance.
...****************...
3 Hours passed and Abimana had just arrived. Mr. Ali was waiting for him in front of the delivery room. She was so anxious about it, the baby had been born but her mother had no news. Mr. Ali only heard the sound of baby crying from inside the Operating Room.
"Sir, how is he? What good?" abimana asked in a breathless manner after running several tens of meters away.
Ali shook his head slowly. "I don't know, sir, my mother was dealt with by a cesarean operation. Sayantadi became his guardian. When your son was born, there was just a sound of crying. But if my mother doesn't know."
Abimana was sitting. This time his plan to take responsibility failed again after the first failed because the verdict of the trial missed the estimate, now it may miss again due to the state of Manda. In his heart he always prayed for the safety and health of the mother of his son.
20 Minutes after waiting, then came out the figure of Amanda unconscious. He still faithfully closed his eyes with various tools attached to his body. His face looked pale and somehow Abhimana cried to see him.
"Between him and me there is no bond at all. But seeing it like this, makes me feel guilty. I should always be by his side. I should have accompanied him, but I was too cowardly for that."
Abhimana regretted his actions. The nurse holding a tiny baby came closer to him. He smiled when he saw Abimana.
"This father is his father, right? It is not wrong for sure that his father had a very similar face" said the nurse who gave the little baby to Abimana.
"Why is Doc's mom?" ask Abimana.
"Her mother had complications because her blood pressure was so low that there was no energy to carry out the labor process normally, so we were forced to take cesarean section. While let him sleep to recover his strength, after 6 hours we'll check him again."
"He's not in a coma, is he, Doc?" abimana asked with her swollen eyes and trembling hands.
"Maybe not. We will try to do our best, sir. Now let the patient enter his room to rest. You can join the nurse to do some actions with the baby. There needs to be a bounding between the father and the baby" said the doctor, smiling kindly.
"My son, you're born, baby. Forgive me, father, who could not accompany your mother in giving birth to you. Forgive my dear father," Abimana said with a voice that shook violently.
"Please sir, we wish Manda's mother all the best." Pak Ali tried to strengthen Abimana.
