I Want to Meet My Baby
The next day Najma was able to sit down, and learned to stand up.
"Aren't you dizzy?" ask Ardi who is next to Najma.
"No, I want to see baby Icha soon" replied Najma.
"Now take a shower, yes, I help yuk," said Ardi who helped Najma to the bathroom.
"Mas get out there gih, just wait for me outside," asked Najma after Ardi sat his body on the closed toilet.
"Gak ah, I help you take a shower, afraid that you suddenly faint," said Ardi who was determined to be in the bathroom.
"But I'm ashamed of Mas" whined Najma.
"And uda I used to see it," Ardi did not want to lose, not anything but he did worry Najma, afraid that when Najma collapsed or unconscious at any time.
"But I nifas Mas, there must be a bad smell here, Mas wait outside huh hmm,"
"You did so because you gave birth to my son Babe, do not argue with the husband, anyway,"
Inevitably Najma can only resign when Ardi helps her take a bath and also wash her hair.
"Mas" called Najma as Ardi massaged his head after the shampoo.
"Hmm" said Ardi.
"Have you ever seen a patient like that?" ask Najma.
"Hmm what's babe?" ask Ardi back.
"That's it, must have been, right?"
"If only this job had never been, it's not that I opened her head babe, but when medical school used to be, when she was a young doctor once, so an internship doctor ever, ever, part of the service is also in the delivery room, help midwives to nolong lahiran," replied Ardi.
"How rich do you think Ardi is?"
"I think Giman is Babe?"
"There is a sense of eroticism..."
"Hmm, the power doesn't exist,"
"Then why would you look at me?"
"You're the one I'm a pervert doctor" said Ardi, who gently nudged Najma's forehead, but caused Najma enough pain.
"Aww.mas sick," said Najma who rubbed his forehead.
"There are questions, then,"
"You want to know I'm Mas,"
"It's different Babe, if the same patient, the feeling is different, my focus is just to help them, help them not to hurt, if you're different, so different, so different it feels,"
And they talked at length until Najma finished bathing and getting dressed. Then they went out the bathroom.
"Assalamualaikum," said Sarah who had apparently been waiting for them to come out of the bathroom.
"Waalaikumussalam," answered Ardi and Najma almost simultaneously.
"Well you can walk, yuk I see again the stitches, you should be Ar," said Sarah who offered equipment for wound care.
"Ah Mba, Mba Sarah aja deh, I grieved to see," Ardi of course refused because he was horrified to see the wound in Najma's stomach.
"Come on Ar. I don't see if I'm pregnant this big, hard to know, moving to and fro" said Sarah persuaded Najma.
"Why are you on vacation, Mba?" asked Ardi who was forced to receive the wound care equipment offered by Sarah, he felt sorry to see his sister-in-law with a stomach that big still working.
"Still next month Ar, we should be together with Najma, uh don't know you launching first," said Sarah.
"I'm sorry, sorry, but I rinse with saline solution," Ardi swiftly and agilely took care of Najma's scar.
"Hmm, let's have a surgeon's husband, out of the body to care for the husband himself," said Sarah.
"Yes, Alhamdulillah Mba, I want to see this baby Icha run out, can you leave the room, right Mba?" najma asked Sarah as her obstetrician.
"Yes, you can use a wheelchair, but before that eat first and take medicine, then your breast pump" said Sarah.
"Okay Mba" said Najma.
"Well done," said Ardi who cleaned the wound care equipment.
"The sewing is good Mba, once every two days is not it?" ask Ardi.
"Yes ga papa, if it's dry just opened the bandage, ah you better know Ar, as a surgeon, already ah, I want to take care of the clinic, you're still on leave right?" ask Sarah who will say goodbye.
"Yes, still, Mba don't be tired, watch the baby" Ardi said.
"Yes, I have no surgery, if I have one, it's hard to bring this big stomach in the operating room, the last one yesterday was Najma, already ah, ah, this is the assistant I sent a message to, bye. assalamualaikum," Sarah said.
"Waalaikumussalam" said Najma and Ardi.
The two meet the view.
"Eat yuk" said Ardi. Najma nods vigorously as she eats to recover quickly and take care of her child.
After eating, taking medicine, and pumping like Sarah's doctor had said, Ardi pushed Najma's wheelchair into the nursery. Najma was pounding, this was the first time she would see her daughter.
"Mas," call Najma while holding Ardi's hand pushing the wheelchair.
"What Babe?" Ardi stopped the wheelchair for a moment.
"I deg-degan" said Najma.
"Why deg-degan?" ask Ardi.
"Gugup wants to see baby Icha" replied Najma.
"Please rest on yourself, when you're ready we go in" said Ardi.
"Ar," called someone who from a distance waved his hand.
"Yudha." said Ardi, he saw the man in the white coat walking towards them.
"Would you like to see your baby?" ask Yudha when she arrives.
"Yes Yud, you are wearing a white coat, not now you focus on hospital management?" ask Ardi.
"Yes, this is a special, special patient, so I want to intervene on my own, your baby, yes your baby still needs therapy to be able to swallow properly" said Dr. Yudha.
"What's the situation worrying about?" ask Najma.
"At this time we are still monitoring, we will see, uh sorry yes Qumil can not look at you and your baby, he is still in the semester exam now, well I also miss, too, but just as Qumil I was not allowed to go there first, disturbing he said," said Yudha.
"Yes, no pa pa brother," said Najma.
"Let's go in together" Ardi asked, then the three of them went into the nursery.
"That doctor Aldo is inside" Yudha said. Ardi sees Aldo's doctor examining his baby and a vital signs monitor indicating the baby is not okay, as much as possible Ardi wants Najma not to be told in advance the true condition of the baby. Ardi and Yudha looked at each other.
"Babe, wait here yes, I go in first, bismillah dhikir aja let calm down, later I follow again to enter together," said Ardi.
"Yes Mas" said Najma just according to her husband's orders.
Ardi and Yudha went into the baby room. Apparently doctor Aldo is fighting to save baby Icha.
