New Breath
Chapter 33

The hour hand was showing at half-eleven in the evening. The room that is usually quiet at that hour now sounds a little noisy by the cry of one of the twins from Nadhira and Reyhan couple, Radin. Nadhira became confused to see her unusual fussy baby like this. Likewise with Reyhan who just this time found Radin's cry. The couple tried to calm down. In fact, Nadhira had tried to give milk, but Radin could not also be soothed. He begins to get confused with Radin's current condition. Unlike Radit who is so calm in his silence.

Reyhan who saw Nadhira walking back and forth while holding the baby was feeling sorry. He could see how his wife's tired face looked. So with the appearance of drowsiness that is so obvious and can not be hidden. Nadhira had not fallen asleep before. Nadhira had just closed his eyes, then Radin's cry suddenly sounded extremely loud. Reyhan immediately imagined Nadhira every night should be like this while he was still in a coma. It was a great sacrifice for Nadhira as a mother.

“Nak, you why the hell? How can a cranky tumbent be like this?” Nadhira wondered at his son. All he found was a cry that sounded louder. Nadhira's heart felt sliced to hear the cry of her baby. Because, not usually also Radin as it is today.

Reyhan got out of bed. He then approached Nadhira. “Radin why, Al?”

Nadhira raised his head to look at the husband's face. He could only shake his head, as he himself did not know what was going on with Radin. “I don't know either, Brother. I was confused,” Nadhira said with a vibrating tone of voice. Like all the other mothers out there. Nadhira three could hear the cry of his son. It is too painful to hear the cry of the child.

Reyhan touched Radin's forehead. However, Radin's body temperature is not warm. It makes Reyhan also confused by the change of the baby so suddenly. He looked back at the tired face of Nadhira who was trying to hide by the woman. Unfortunately, in Reyhan's eyes, Nadhira would fail to do so. Reyhan also heard clearly Nadhira's shaking voice that was holding back her crying. Reyhan pity Nadhira. He hugged Nadhira from behind. Then the head of the wife warmly.

“Honey,” call Reyhan. However, he did not get any response from his wife. Instead, he heard his wife's heartbreaking prank. Reyhan turned Nadhira's body. Then, he took Radin out of the woman's hands. “Hei! Don't cry dong.” Reyhan grabbed his wife's body and hugged her warmly and sent peace to Nadhira.

“I can't be a good mother, sister. I can not nenangin my own son,” lirih Nadhira pilu in between his stuffing.

Reyhan gently stroked Nadhira's trembling back. “Ngak. Who says you can't be a good mom? You've been a good mother to Radit and Radin, honey. You are great,” said Reyhan to calm his wife. Likewise with Radin who is trying to be more calm again. Yeah, after Radin was in his trunk. Radin began to calm down a little and no longer cried loudly. Just sounds like an occasional prank. It made Reyhan a little calmer as well. Now, he just tried to calm his wife who began to blame herself.

It was not easy to calm Nadhira. And that's one thing that hasn't changed from that woman to this very moment. As before, Reyhan began to be overwhelmed because Nadhira was still sobbing. He is not sure how his wife feels right now. However, Reyhan thinks that Nadhira is in an emotional state that is not okay. That woman must be tired too.

"You wait here for a while, yes," Reyhan said as he led Nadhira's body to sit on the bed. Then he touched his wife's chin until Nadhira raised his head. She wiped Nadhira's tears with her thumb. Then the top of Nadhira's head was taken with one hand. "Wait, yeah."

Reyhan stepped outside the room holding Radin. He moved to his parents' second room. Actually it's not good to wake Papa and Mama at this hour of rest. However, he was forced to do so because he had to calm his wife first. He could not do that easily, because Radin was still in a sling.

Reyhan's hand was raised to knock on his parents' bedroom door quietly. "Ma," call Reyhan quietly so that no other human being is disturbed. Some time Reyhan waited until the door to Papa and Mama's room was open. Then, showing the figure of Mama in a pajama suit and the face of waking up.

"What's up, brother?" ask Mama with a distinctive tone of voice wake up. Mama rubbed a pair of neutrals trying to expel the drowsiness that was still whack. He then realizes that Reyhan did not come alone. However, there was Radin who was in the sling of the firstborn. Mom was shocked and afraid something was going on with her granddaughter. "Radin why?"

"It's okay, Ma. Brother, take Radin for a minute. I don't know Aleeana is tired anymore. So, he's not emotionally stable" Reyhan explained without wanting to mince words first. Anyway for what? It is not a good time to talk, because his wife needs him now.

"Nadhira why?"

"Aleeanan crying in room. That's why you brought Radin here. Want to nenangin his mother first," replied Reyhan.

Mama nodded in understanding. He then took over the grandson from his father's arms. It may be true what Reyhan said that Nadhira was in a tired state. And Mama hopes that her daughter-in-law does not experience the baby blues.

"I'm sorry, yes, Ma, it's been a nuisance for Mama" said Reyhan, who felt a little guilty for waking up the mother who had fallen asleep.

Reyhan nodded his head. Before he really passed, do not forget Reyhan stroked the top of Radin's head. Then kiss her briefly. After that, Reyhan moved back to his room to meet the wife he had left for a while.

Reyhan still finds Nadhira's position as he last saw it. He smiled with a pair of legs approaching. Landed his butt next to the beautiful woman who has accompanied him the last two years. Then, give birth to a pair of adorable twins.

"Darling," call Reyhan gently. He took his wife's hand and held it tight. Then, he tried to punch his gaze with Nadhira's pair of wet eyes. "It's okay, honey, it's crying now" Reyhan said. Then, he slowly grabbed Nadhira's body to be embraced in the warmth and channeled calm to Nadhira.

And it's true. Nadhira shed her tears in the warm embrace of her husband. He was really tired this time. Every day acts as a wife and mother who must take care of both babies. Then, the night was just a fussy little guy and he did not know what happened to his son. He tried to calm down. However, he failed completely.

"I'm sorry I can't be a good mother to the twins" Nadhira said.

"No, Honey. You don't have to apologize. I told you that you are a great mother and wife" Reyhan replied, dismissing Nadhira's words. He did not lie or try to seduce his wife, but what he said was true. Three months struggling in a coma, Nadhira immediately gave up and left him. Instead, the woman fought hard to wait for him to return. Then, for three months, Nadhira also had to struggle to keep the little guy alone.

"Al, stop blaming yourself like this, honey. You're just tired, because all day I have to take care of the twins. Now, you take a break, yes," Reyhan said. Let him take the place of his wife tonight.

Nadhira shook his head. How can he fall asleep if Radin is still fussy? Radin's? Nadhira immediately broke free from her husband's embrace when she remembered Radin. "Where's the radin?"

"Radin I'll take Mama first. Now you just rest. Let me take care of Radin" Reyhan said.

"But, Kak—"

Reyhan silenced his wife not to do rejection again by sticking his lips on Nadhira's lips. Then, he let go shortly. "Don't argue. Now rest. I'm staying here."

Nadhira.

"Do you want to give me time to make the twins sisters?" Reyhan played his eyebrows up and down.

"I'm resting now" said Nadhira and immediately lay down quickly on the bed. It made Reyhan laugh.

"Yes, take a break. Sleep well, honey," said Reyhan and kissed his wife's forehead. He did not move from the lip of the bed. He continued to caress the hair that was not covered by the hijab gently until Nadhira fell asleep so quickly.

Reyhan smiled looking at his wife's peaceful face in a deadlock. Reyhan is unceasingly grateful to have a wife as good and as strong as Nadhira. He did not know what would happen to his life if he were not united with her.

"Thank you, yes, Al, it's been going strong until this second. I promise to look after and make you happy with the twins." Once again Reyhan kissed his wife's forehead. "I love you, dear," Reyhan whispered in his wife's ear in a very soft tone of voice.
