New Breath
Chapter 14's

Nadhira's smile seemed glistened when he saw his twin baby pair was neat after taking a morning shower. He saw fresh faces among them. It felt so perfect that Nadhira's life saw a scene like this. He also did not expect the time to pass so quickly. Just yesterday it felt like he was carrying the two tiny creatures inside his stomach. And now he could see them smiling, crying, and grasping his fingers. “Mother's kids are already big, yes, Darling. Thank you, yes, for the cooperation,” said Nadhira while gently rubbing the cheeks of his two children that he put in the stroller.

“After this we meet Dad, yes,” continued Nadhira invite his son to talk. It was an instant that Nadhira's heart warmed after seeing her two children laughing as if giving a response from her words. “MasyaAllah son Mother is really great already able to respond to the words of her mother, yes.”

Nadhira continues his new activities to invite Radit and Radin to talk. Sometimes he laughs at the laughter of his adorable son. Until his attention is distracted by the sound of a cellphone ring that he placed carelessly on the bed. “Inter, yes, great boy. I picked up the phone first.”

Both corners of Nadhira's lips lifted to form a beautiful curve when looking at Caller ID on the screen of his phone. “Halo, Kay!”

“Ra, I switched to a video call, yes,” Mikayla said from across the phone.

Nadhira caught the tone of the voice of his best friend and brother-in-law was heard vibrating. Both Nadhira's eyebrows swooped in “Kay, you're okay, ‘kan?” nadhira asked worriedly. However, he had not heard an answer from Mikayla. He got a video call first. Nadhira's thumb swipe quickly scrolling the camera icon on his phone.

“I’m pregnant!”

Nadhira's mouth was open. Besides being shocked by the shrieking voice of his sister-in-law. He was also speechless to see the little thing Mikayla had shown him. Like Mikayla who was across the phone with teary eyes. Nadhira is too. She was overwhelmed by the pregnancy news of her best friend. That means the brother will soon follow him has a baby. “Kay, congratulations, yes.”

“Thank you, Ra. I'm so happy.”

“I'm also very happy, Kay. Take good care of my niece-to-be, yes.”

Nadhira wiped away the tears that had run down her cheeks after a video call with her sister-in-law was cut off. She should give this happy news to her husband as well. He got up and went back to his twin. “To Dad's room, yuk, son! We'll tell Dad the happy news about Aunt Kayla's pregnancy.”

...♥♥♥...

Nadhira directed the two stroller towards the bed that Reyhan occupied. He deliberately did that with the aim that the child could face their father directly. While Nadhira himself sat on the edge of the bed as usual. This was the first time they had gathered in the same room after Radit's return from the hospital.

“Good morning, Dad,” greet Nadhira as if the one who spoke and greeted her husband was a pair of twins who stepped on the four-month street age. Not forgetting that she showed off her sweet smile. Although Reyhan can not enjoy the beautiful curves that make opium.

Nadhira plays his fingers on Reyhan's face. He felt the fine hairs had grown around the face of the husband. “Kak, know, no? You again missed your happy moment with Kayla. Now Kayla is pregnant, sister,”, Nadhira told Reyhan who is still faithful closed. I don't know when those eyelids will open and look at him warmly like they used to.

Suddenly the sound of the door opening. Nadhira's attention was immediately diverted towards the source of the sound. His smile rose to see the figure of Papa emerging from behind the door.

“Eh, Ra. Papa thought there was no one here,” said Papa while closing the object made of thick wood.

Hearing her father-in-law's so gentle greeting to her made Nadhira not expect if the man could be so hard. Even in his own flesh. Since he knew Farhan's condition that day. There were no more secrets Farhan could hide from her. Nadhira always tried to be the home and home of his sister-in-law. Like Reyhan used to be the most comfortable place for Farhan to tell everything.

“Papa not to the office?” nadhira asked as he got up and made room for Papa to sit down. But the man actually held him back.

“It's okay you just sit there. Papa wants to hold Papa's grandson,” said Papa with a smile. Then, grabbed Radit's body from the stroller. He carried the little boy and held him tight.

Nadhira looked at one of her twins, Radin. The little baby looked towards the grandfather who was holding his brother. It made Nadhira smile. He felt like his son wanted the same thing. Then, he grabbed Radin's body and carried it like what Papa did to Radit.

Nadhira and Papa no one opened their voices afterwards. They love to hold little babies in their arms.

Papa's gaze fell towards the bed where his eldest son's body lay. He closed his eyes. It still feels very painful to see Reyhan's burly body lying with medical devices attached there. After that, Papa remembered that a similar disease also lodged in the body of the baby he was carrying. He tightened his embrace on Radit's body. “Radit should be strong kayak Dad, yes, dear.”

Papa's soft voice reached Nadhira's ears and managed to make the woman's head lift. He looked at his father-in-law with a glare. Caught by a pair of female neutrals, Papa's face looked sad. So contrasted with when Papa just entered the room. The face with that smile was gone already.

Nadhira let out a long sigh before moving to erode the distance with Papa. “Pa,” call Nadhira with a hand that touches the man's arm. The sweet smile of the terulum as Papa turned his head towards her. “All will be well, Pa,” Nadhira said trying to convince. But what he felt was probably the same as Papa. There are disturbing fears. Especially considering that heart disease is not a disease that can be taken lightly. However, does Nadhira also have to have confidence that everything will be fine as he tries and does’a that he skipped?

Papa pulled Nadhira's body slowly. Then, bring the little body of the woman into his arms. Exactly as he did in the past to Mama when he heard the doctor's verdict about the health condition of the firstborn is not normal. Papa wants to give strength to his son-in-law. “Papa sure you are a special woman until given a trial like this. You are a strong woman, Ra.”

Again Nadhira heard the same sentence. This time from Papa's lips. Maybe he should believe that. Because God will not give a trial if he is not able to pass through. Alright. Nadhira again had to learn to accept even though it was difficult. “Nadhira can get to this point is also one of them because of Papa. Because, Papa has been so great teaching Nadhira about many things. Thank you, Pa.”

Then the two went back to silence. Staring at a figure on the bed and accompanied by the sound of a loyal patient monitor sounds constantly.
