You're My Antidote
Hospital

The king was discussing work issues with Moses when Dini contacted him with an office phone and told him that the houseman contacted him. Which directly connects with him.

The king forgot his phone was still in silent mode. Habits when he is at home. When he is with his wife and does not want to be disturbed.

How shocked and panicked King when mbak Eni gave him news if Rani was about to give birth. Though he was trying to advance leave to always be on his wife's side at a time like this. But he is still too late.

"Go to the hospital, ma'am. Ask the driver to take the car carefully. I'm going straight to the hospital right now."

The hospital is in the middle of his house and office. So it would be faster if they met in person at the hospital. He did not want his wife to get late handling. Especially entering the hours of work. The traffic jam is not the best option for him to force himself to pick up Rani.

Moses immediately escorted him. On the way amid the hustle and bustle of the traffic jam people who are tired of working all day, Raja contacted doctor Fani to be ready at the hospital. Luckily his distant cousin had not yet returned home and had just finished handling labor as well.

"It's the way, baby?" tanyanya called the wife. Trying as calmly as possible even though his feelings are not because of. Panic, fear, anxiety, happiness finally the waiting day comes too. All mixed into one.

"It just came out the gate, ma'am."

The king knew his wife had fear. Rani never said it straight away. But he could see from his wife's increasingly unfocused movements.

"Contracts often? since when?"

The contractions are only felt once every half hour, even though three hours since the first contraction passed. Doctors say the first birth takes longer.

The phone is connected. The king told him anything to comfort his wife. Stories about their childhood. About the ridiculous things he had done and Rani had not known.

Sometimes Rani chuckles who shortly followed the groan when the pain hit his wife again.

"Where already? still far?" ask her in panic. The king himself arrived at the hospital. Waiting in front of the IGD along with doctor Fani and a nurse who are ready to take his wife to the delivery room. Might as well.

Rani did not answer her question. All he heard was Rani's groans getting away from the phone. Luckily, the car he was waiting for was seen entering the hospital gate and stopping right in front of him.

The king threw his cell phone at Moses. Rushing he opened the back door where his wife bit her lip with her eyes closed in pain. His normally blushing face now looked pale with sweat dots popping up on his forehead.

The king raised his wife's body carefully. "Sick, mas." - Shouted Rani. Making the King's heart throb pain to hear it.

"You're great.... You're powerful... You can.." he whispered back and gave a kiss at the temple. Move the wife to a brangkar that is directly pushed to the observation room. Perform the first examination to find out where the process that Rani felt.

The king was waiting outside when doctor Fani checked the openings and the others. Moments later the King was told that Rani had opened three. There are still a few hours left for the baby to be delivered. Every mother is different so doctor Fani can not be sure when Rani gave birth to their child.

"So for the next few hours my wife still has to feel the pain, doc?"

Doctor Fani nodded and patted her shoulder. "All pregnant women go through this process, Ja. You don't panic or you'll just add to your wife's panic."

Doctor Fani also explained that Rani will only feel pain when contractions occur. I will not feel pain all the time. He also advised the King to buy dinner for his wife. Although from the hospital will also be provided, but it would be better if Rani eats food that wants to be eaten to increase enthusiasm.

The king was allowed to enter after Fani's doctor left. Eni and Musa waited outside the room.

"Would you eat, baby?" tanyanya rubbed the head of the wife wrapped in a veil.

"You want me to use lontong?"

The king smiled back and nodded. "I asked Moses to buy it. Anything else?"

"That's it, mas. Drink it with warm milk."

The king called Moses because he did not want to leave his wife.

The king sat on the chair behind his wife lying on his left side. Helping rub his back up to his wife's waist as Doctor Fani taught.

Moses soon came to bring what he asked for.

Rani drank the milk that was still warm in half. Lontong and satay were in the message Rani was eaten greedily with the King who bribed her.

"Why order one? I haven't eaten either, have I?"

The king even forgot to order food for himself. After all, he did not feel hungry.

"Mas isn't hungry yet."

"But you have to eat. Just spend it. Rani's full."

The king refused because his wife still looked ravenous. But Rani still kekeh do not want to spend it. So the three pieces of lontong and the two remaining skewers, went into his mouth.

A few hours passed. The king faithfully accompanied his wife through the process of contraction that occurred. Only a groan accompanied by dhikr came out of his wife's mouth. Sometimes asking for a drink. And another time when the contraction disappeared, Rani who might have been tired chose to close her eyes.

Midwives also routinely check Rani's condition. Either their baby's heartbeat or do a deep check to find out how many openings.

From opening three to four, Rani went through it for more than an hour. So too with the next opening. Until at two in the morning, Rani was moved to the delivery room when the opening was complete.

When he helped push his wife's braggar. Outside the observation room there is already the Om Rafi family complete with Maina and Maira.

He forgot to tell his family. Either Moses or Eni told Om Rafi that Rani was going to give birth. But their very existence warmed the King's heart. Especially when Om Rafi strengthens it. Also keep greetings and prayers from mom and dad who can not attend because of the condition of his parents who are not young anymore.

"We're here for you." whispered Om Rafi hugging him.

Either his feelings are sensitive or something. Until the whip and whisper of Om Rafi made his eyes heat up and glazed.

"Thank you, Om. You're all I have." his voice shakes. I don't know the King has never been this sensitive in his entire life. Maybe sometimes he needs to be strengthened like this. So that he does not feel like a kara.
