"Congratulations, Mr. Khansa and Mr. Alex. Your little son has been born." Doctor Afifah removed Alkha, while the midwife who helped deliver the cord cut off.
"Sa-honey.." Alex's crying broke out. He can't hold it anymore. From the beginning he was already tense, panicked and worried overwhelmingly. Bad thoughts always run through his head. Seeing Khansa in pain made her heart so hurt. He wanted to replace the pain with his body, but what power he could not do.
All he could do was hug, support and become a force for Khansa while holding back the frustrated tears flooding her face.
An overwhelming sense of relief struck him when the little baby his wife had been fighting for was born into the world. Alex couldn't hold back the tears. He hugged Khansa and kissed her face. He was absent every part of his wife's face, from her forehead, eyelids, cheeks, and lips did not escape the sweep of her kiss.
Alex is focused on his wife's safety. The overwhelming relief he felt when he saw his wife giving birth safely. The ringing of tears showing his joy and gratitude, "Honey... Honey.." That's all that said from Alex's lips.
Khansa was too tired to return her husband's treatment, but on her tired face was tucked away in happiness. The gaze of Khansa's eyes could not be diverted from the small creature that was still in the nurse's arms. He could not wait to embrace his baby.
"Darling, I promise I won't make you feel this pain again... I promise I won't get you pregnant again... I'm sorry, honey... Because of me, you became like this... I'm sorry..." Alex is still peeping at Khansa's cheeks and forehead. The man said many things that Khansa said were very disturbing to his concentration to see the baby.
"Doctor... I want to see it." whispered Khansa weakly.
"In the meantime, Ms. Khansa, we're still cleaning up. Mr. Alex, I know you're very moved, but be useful. Help your wife sit."
"Ah yes..." Alex gurgling. All his emotions seemed to evaporate hearing the stern tone of Doctor Afifah. Immediately he helped Khansa sit up and hugged his wife from behind, making her body a backrest.
Warm kisses and apologies were unceasingly coming out of his mouth. His face was a mess because of the tears that did not stop flowing.
"This is it, the little one is clean. Uhh, how handsome he is, like his papa," the nurse brought the small parcel and handed it to Khansa who received it with joy.
Khansa's feelings were mixed. Tears so profusely flowed down his cheeks as he stared at that little face. He had his sculpted face so perfectly. She checked the finger and toe details to check for imperfections, but the baby was born perfectly.
"Welcome my son... It's been a long time since we've been waiting for you." Khansa's cries broke again. She kissed her baby's forehead gently, "Our son Mas... Adzani him." whispered Khansa softly to Alex who was sitting behind him. Khansa heard no answer, she glanced at her husband.
Alex stunned. His eyes could not escape from the little creature. Implied haru, happiness and love in every look in his eyes. "He's amazing." he whispered.
"Yes, he's amazing... Adzani him Mas..." Khansa changed positions until the little guy's head was right in front of Alex.
With trembling hands Alex stroked the top of her baby's head and kissed her. His voice trembled as he began chanting the adhan in his son's right ear and the qamat in his left ear. Then he began to read Surah Al Qadar and Al Ikhlas. Finished doing so, she kissed her baby's forehead gently. Which is continued by kissing Khansa's forehead.
"Te-thank you dear... Thank you very much... Excuse me... I'm sorry..." Alex hugged both of them. She came back crying.
Doctor Afifah then told Khansa to breastfeed her baby immediately. This is important to support the success of the IMD (Initiation Breastfeeding Early) process. In addition to facilitating the process of giving breast milk in the future, this process will be a moment of mother and baby introductions that will form an inner bond between the two.
Khansa placed the tiny baby on her chest and thrust her breast. With his instincts, the baby started looking around for his mother's p๐ting and sipping hard.
Khansa grimaced a little at the sight of how powerful the absorption was, but the radiance of happiness never disappeared from her face. The tears returned. I didn't know she was now a mother.
"Welcome Alkha, I am your father and this beautiful woman is your Mama." Alex grabs her baby's tiny hand and kisses her gently. His gaze turned to Khansa, who was both staring at him. "Thank you very much... You are the most beautiful mother in the world..." Alex kissed Khansa's forehead which received her with joy. Then their attention turned back to their baby.
"He's very handsome. Look how perfect he is..."
"He's handsome because I'm his papa."
"Who said? His face would be perfect, dear. How lucky she is to have a mother as beautiful and as good as you. By the way until when is she going to suckle like this?" Alex began to flinch the cheeks of the red puffer who was busy sipping his mother's breast, "Woi jagoanku, until when to suckle? Don't spend it yourself. Leave it to Papa. Remember, before these two things were yours, they were Papa's, "Alex simply removed the p๐ting Khansa from Alkha's mouth, which made the baby cry out loud.
"Don't fad dong Mas. Let my angel suckle until full... Oh yeah, whose full name is Mas? Yesterday we had not discussed this matter..."
"Alkha."
"Yes I know her name is Alkha, but who is Alkha?"
"So, I haven't thought about it."
"Yes, your habits. Think Mas. Otherwise I'll ask your father for help to find a name for him..."
"no need. I've got a name for him." Alex said confidently, making Khansa immediately enthusiastic.
"What's his name Mas?"
"Alkha Son of Yohan."
"Huh?"
"Alkha Son of Yohan."
"Seriously?"
"Is there something wrong with that name?" Alex doesn't seem to be kidding. Khansa has resigned, you can be sure his son will be named it.
"Geez, you're not creative anymore."

After baby Al was full, the nurse placed the baby in the nursery while Khansa remained in the room until her condition stabilized.
Once in the baby's room, the big family immediately flocked to see the little one. Mom was the most excited of all. Cries and sobs incessantly moved out from his lips. All were grateful for the great blessings that were present within their families.
Mama, Papa Atmadja, Ahmad's father, Ina's mother, Fian, Alex and Aaron were staring at baby Alkha with astonished gazes as they were startled by Diana's screams.
"Aaakhhhhhh!!!"
"What's wrong?" asked Aaron worriedly. With a few eyes he was by his wife's side.
"It looks like I'm going to give birth as well." said Diana while showing her calf that had been drained of clear liquid.
"W-WHAT?!!"
