When Love Should Determine
Chapter 122

Larissa groaned in pain feeling the contraction of her stomach. He tried to fight the pain by walking around the house, usually this way is quite powerful, but it turns out the pain is getting stronger and stronger.

Unable to endure the pain any longer, he woke up the recently asleep husband to ask for help. "Entik, wakeup! Help me, my stomach hurts so much."

Hamzah who is not fully aware because he has only been asleep for a while was confused about what to do. "Huh, why?."

"My stomach hurts, Entik, please do something!."

"Try to take a walk. Usually that's pretty powerful, right?"

"Already! I also took a walk. But the pain is only getting stronger."

Hamzah scratched his head that is not itchy, confused what to do, or maybe because his consciousness has not returned a hundred percent due to just a few minutes of sleep.

"Entik, please do something. My stomach hurts a lot." Larissa went back in pain as the storm of pain hit her body again. " This pain is getting stronger, Entik, is it possible that I will give birth now?."

"Try here I wipe your stomach. Maybe the pain can be a little less."

Slowly Hamzah rubbed Larissa's stomach with tenderness, and the touch of her hand did really provide comfort so that the pain began to decrease.

But it did not last long, the next second Larissa was again hit by a storm of pain that made her shed tears because she could not withstand the pain. "Entim, please take me to the midwife's house. I can't stand this pain anymore."

"But it's midnight, Encus. Maybe he'll open the door for us?."

"He's a midwife, Entik. His job is to help people give birth no matter midnight or not. If I had given birth this very second, would you have just let it go and waited until morning to take me to the midwife? do you want me and your son not to survive?."

Larissa was very upset with her husband, instead of rushing to find help for him even worrying about something that is not important. Sometimes her husband is slow enough to understand things.

Hamzah sighed at the annoyance of his wife. "Yes, let me take you there now."

Hamzah tidied up a bit of the shirt he was wearing and grabbed the key of the motorbike on the hanger near the closet, then he helped to get his wife. "Review, slow down."

Along the way to the house of the midwife Larissa continued to groan in pain. Tears flowed along with the storm of pain.

After traveling for approximately twenty minutes they finally arrived. Larissa immediately rang the doorbell to wake the midwife.

Tuut....

The first attempt failed, apparently the midwife did not hear the bell. Larissa did not give up and tried to wake the midwife by pressing the bell back.

Tuut....

The second experiment failed as well as the third. Larissa cried and was almost hopelessly powerless to endure the pain. But the next second.....

Chequek...

Kriet's....

There was the sound of the door opening and the body of the midwife popping out. "Yes, what's wrong?."

"God! then let's go in! Let me check inside."

Larissa immediately entered and laid her body on the bed that was available in the room. He is very familiar with the location of the bed because he has repeatedly come here during pregnancy.

Deftly the midwife examined Larissa's stomach. "Since when do you feel contractions?" tanyanya while doing the examination.

"About two a dozen, ma'am."

"Have you brought anything out?."

"No, ma. It's just that this afternoon I had time to remove mucus mixed with a little blood."

"God! That means mom wants to give birth. Then why not this afternoon? Didn't I warn you to come here immediately when you feel the contractions?."

"But I haven't felt anything this afternoon, Mom, only now do I feel it. That's why I'm just here now."

"What is this mom? That mother has a big enough risk of giving birth, you know? But I don't seem to be worried at all and it's all over the top."

Being rebuked like that by the midwife certainly makes Larissa's mentality a little down. "I'm sorry, ma'am. But I didn't feel anything."

"The problem is that the mother must take the hyperhip vaccine for the baby mother first to the health center to overcome hepatitis B that the mother suffered, and this is already midnight. I'm afraid no officer will give me the vaccine there. If you are here from last day will not be bothered like now. Not to mention the rapid test results show that reactive mothers are exposed to corona."

Hearing the words of the midwife who seemed to scare make Larissa's mental down. He did do a rapid test at the puskesmas like the midwife's advice a week ago, and the result he was reactive to the coronavirus, but that is not necessarily if he was really exposed to covid-19. "I'm sorry, ma'am, I really don't know" he said.

Hearing Larissa's voice change seems to be the midwife realized her mistake that has vented anger with anger that made her patient's mental down. He sighed and said, "yes, no pa pa, everything has happened. We just pray that the health center will give the vaccine. Otherwise, you have to buy it yourself. And I know for myself how much the vaccine costs."

The midwife did have time to tell this when the results of Larissa's ANC test showed if he was exposed to hepatitis B. And the price of vaccines for the disease is above two million rupiah, a price that is quite expensive for middle and lower economies such as Larissa.

"If you have to buy yourself, don't pa pa, ma'am. I'll work on the money. The important thing is that my child can be born safely and nothing less" Larissa said.

The midwife again sighed as she finished her examination. "we try as much as we used to. At the moment the mother has started opening one, there is still enough time to get the vaccine. Now I'm going to get the baby's things and needs ready, and I'm going to try to lobby the health center. We're leaving for the hospital soon."

"Oh yeah, do you have a vehicle to get there?" tanyakanya.

"I had applied for a healthy car loan from the village and agreed, ma'am. Maybe if now I call the driver willing to deliver."

"My advice, rather than using a healthy car, it is better to use an ambulance whose facilities are more complete. Moreover, the trip to the hospital later is quite time consuming."

Larissa resigned and obey only the advice that the midwife gave. "As for mom, how good it is."

"Yes, now I'm getting ready. I'll call an ambulance."

The midwife took a cell phone and dialed a number, a moment later there was a conversation between him and someone across there.

While Larissa herself asked her husband to take some necessities for her and the baby she had prepared in advance.
