My Bow to the Destiny of Love
Be a great father

Dodit pulls Ardian's hand that's already pushing the IGD's door. "Gapain to IGD, Ar. Your wife is about to give birth, she must be in the delivery room."

"T. but usually if the patient is brought to the IGD first, Dit."

"Yes, but this is a different matter, Ardian. Your wife has been taken away since. Even if he was taken to the IGD, he would've been moved." Dodit pulls Ardian's hand towards the loby.

"Yes, yes, we'll ask the receptionist then."

"Ngapain...?"

"To ask where the delivery room is."

"No need. That's already been shown by the Hospital's floor plan." Pointing to the floor plan that is plastered large in the middle of the loby. "I told you not to panic either." Dodit again draws Ardian's hand following the instructions on the floor plan.

About five minutes later, Dodit finally found the room in question. "Well, this is the room. It's Miss Renata at the door."

"Alhamdulillah..." Ardian breathed a sigh of relief while rubbing his face violently. Walking in gontai steps approaching her mother. "Mommy..."

Miss Renata looked over. At that moment, Miss Santi came out of the room.

"Have you arrived?"

"I. yeah, Mom. Sorry I didn't see the phone."

"Yes it's okay. Now you go inside. Your wife is being infused. It's opening five, soon the process. The doctor is still resting so that he can carry out his duties well later if it is time to get out. I'm gonna grab the gear in the car. Poor Mr. Satpam tired of waiting from earlier."

"I. I, yes, Ma."

"You're in, honey. Sorry, Mommy didn't dare to go inside. My mom was afraid to see the process. Mami will wait here until Mami's granddaughter comes out later. Hmmm, if Ayra wanted to use Caesar's surgery technique, Mami wouldn't be this tough right now."

"Seek her a prayer, Mi."

"Yes, Honey. Do'a Mami is always with you."

Ardian kissed her Mom's hand and then kissed her feet. "Bismilbornrahmanirrahim... Ardian's coming in, Mi."

Ms. Renata nodded off her son's hand.

Ardian gulped at his wife. His steps slowed down as soon as he saw his wife curled up sloping to the left. "C... Chay. I'm sorry, I'm late."

"Please, sir, love his wife's spirit." Said a Midwife who walked over carrying a device. "Sorry, Ma'am ya. wear it I open again, want to check the opening. The heartburn is getting more regular. Hopefully the process is quick."

"I. YEAH..." Chayra answered with an irregular breath. The pain is really getting worse. Her hand immediately gripped tightly the hand of her husband who had just approached near her head. "M.. I'm sorry if something went wrong. This.. it feels.. sakiiiit..." Chayra strained because she couldn't stand it.

"Don't push first, ma'am because it's not time yet. Wait for instructions from us later. Pity that his energy will run out before his time." Said Madam Midwife while putting on the gloves.

Ardian looked up at the Midwife who put her hand in the birth canal. He wanted to protest but his voice was stuck in his throat. Finally he only noticed what the Midwife was doing without being able to protest at all.

"It's opening nine. Thank God the process is fast." Say it with a face. "Call the Doctor Mom soon the opening is complete." The midwife's orders to her partner. The four midwives in the room were getting busy preparing everything.

Ardian looks increasingly tense when he sees the arrival of the Doctor along with his in-laws. The doctor approached Chayra's bed and began to act.

After an hour passed with great tension, Ardian walked out of the action room with a deathly pale face. "Mommy, Papi." Her knees felt weak as soon as they reached her parents.

"What's wrong with you, son? Your wife and son are okay, right?" Ms. Renata lowered her head, patting her son's cheek which looked like an undead.

"I. I. pity to see Chay, Mi. It was so hard to give birth. I feel like I'm gonna faint to see my wife struggle. Forgive Ardian who was disobedient to Mami and Papi all this time." Ardian hugged his mother's legs with tears in his eyes.

"Already, dear.it has become a woman's nature. The important thing is your wife and son are safe and well."

Ardian nodded weakly. It felt just to rise up to lift his body up on the sofa was not able to do.

Ardian looked at his in-laws weakly. His eyes were soft on the woman who was the mother of his wife.

Ms. Santi frowned at the gaze of her daughter-in-law. "Why are you staring at me like that, son?"

Ardian tried to get up even though it felt very difficult. Walked closer to her in-laws and hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry Ardian can't be a good husband to Chay, Mom."

"What do you mean, son. Already ah, I've always seen you good with my daughter all this time." Miss Santi replied while patting her daughter-in-law's back. "Let's go in first, your son is waiting for you."

Ardian finally let go of his embrace. Following in-laws step back into the room. It seemed like his blood was already flowing again so his face was not as pale as before.

Ardian took the baby who was offered by a midwife who cleaned it earlier. "Please diadzanin, sir."

"Thank you, Ma'am." Ardian little gerogi carrying the baby. Her lips covered the smile as the baby wriggled in her cradle. His lips trembled slightly as he began reciting the Adhan in his son's right ear.

That morning...

The Chayra treatment room is really crowded. Moreover, Tina came to see her new niece. Alesha and Zidane were only able to come because they were at the Pesantren when Ms Santi contacted her yesterday afternoon.

Ardian was unceasingly staring at her baby box. While one hand tightly grasped his wife's hand. No matter the strange looks of the people in the room. He just wants those people to know that he is very happy right now.

"Why does he sleep, honey. I want to see her little eyes." Ardian began to want to disrupt the baby's sleep.

"Eh, Mas. his hands please deh, conditioned.."

Ardyan smiled broadly at his wife's gaze, pulling back his outstretched hand wanting to disturb his tiny baby.

Tina who could not stand the anxiety of seeing Ardian's behavior finally approached the baby box. "Oh Allah, Ayra... He looks his good looks from now on. His nose is full of gini again when he was born. Like Ayra's nose." Touching that little nose. Tina's hands were already itching to pinch her cheeks, but she paled when she heard loud deheman from both parents of the baby. "Eheheh... Sorry, because the baby is so cute.." Tina finally muffled her own cheeks.

"How much is he born, Ayra?" Alesha asked, she also noticed a tiny baby who remained a sleeping herd even though it was very crowded around.

"3.8 kilograms and 51 centimeters long."

"Well, her cheeks are puffed up. That's above average birth weight."

The conversation continued until noon. Tina finally said goodbye because this afternoon she was going to work. Although it is very difficult to leave the little one, but he has to do it because of his obligations.

Miss Santi left her granddaughter to the store because there was a problem. He promised to return as soon as the problem was over.

Zidane and Alesha also took part because there is business to be resolved. They promised to come see Chayra again tonight. They plan to come with Mr. Ismail and Mr. Ainun who will come to visit their new grandchildren. They will leave this afternoon by plane to save time and effort.

Mr. Akmal was enthusiastic once he got the news his great-grandson was born. However, he was in the holy land to perform Umrah with his wife.

After everyone was gone, there were Ardian, Chayra and the little baby. Silence is silent because they are silent. Ardian just stared at his wife and son in turn. The smile never faded from his handsome face.

"Mas, I'm sleepy." Chayra's words broke the silence between them.

"You'll sleep later, honey. Who would you like to talk to if you slept." Just as Ardian finished his sentence, a whimper sounded from inside the box. "God, our boy's up, honey. His mouth is like tasting. Looks like he's hungry."

Chayra took a deep breath as she got up slowly. "Here, Mas Ardian help me put it on my lap." Chayra placed a pillow over her lap to make it easier for her to breastfeed her son.

"I dare not.."

Chayra glared at her husband's words. "Must, Mas. You must be a great father. We'll both be home. There's no way we'll trouble Mom to stay over to take care of me. Don't ask Mommy, she's definitely not used to it. If Mas Ardian can't be an amazing father, what will he be?"

Ardian glared but a moment later he smiled. The words of his wife he gave a thumbs up. "Yes, Honey. I must be a great father." Kissing his wife's forehead and trying to lift the baby who was wriggling in his box.
