Married Former Napi
Sakura
The operating room door opened and two nurses accompanied Valencia who still looked weak on a wheeled bed.
Valencia's eyes blinked and there was a weak voice,
"How's our son And?"
Andaro rubbed his Valencia haircut and peeked at his forehead, "I haven't seen him Val, but his little screams sounded as if he wanted to meet soon. You want me to wait for him or take you to the treatment room?"
In a raucous and weak voice Valencia replied, "You have to make sure he's okay And, meet me afterwards in the treatment room." after speaking Valencia's eyes closed and fell asleep.
The nurse restarts the bed to the treatment room, leaving Andaro, who is still waiting for his little son, to walk out from behind the operating room entrance.
Fifteen minutes still no signs then there was a nurse running out and back in carrying an infusion bag and a small iron box out of what was happening inside.
Time feels very slow running, gusts like the wind feels like a blast of polar wind that feels cold makes the body shiver. There is a stored fear and is reluctant to be recognized because it still wants to keep hoping the little one is okay.
The door opened and Andaro stood up to see the young female doctor with a smile just beside a small incubator accompanied by a nurse who helped push the incubator slowly.
Seen in the incubator of a very tiny baby, Andaro was stunned to see fingers and toes popping, small diapers covering ******** the baby is either a boy or a girl but the baby looks so beautiful even though it looks weak. There are only occasional finger movements and head shifts. On his chest is attached a lot of wires to monitor the heart rate and lungs so that if there is a stop of breath then the tool will immediately sound, in the mouth is attached a hose that will help breathing and one more hose to drain fluid. The body was still too small to be attached to an infusion.
Really a taste in the heart, between happy and also do not have the heart to see the poor must be accompanied by various tools, cables, and hoses.
"Ehm... Mr. Andaro, I'm the pediatrician who handles your baby. Previously survived to be a father but as you can see the condition of the baby still has to be monitored and allow me to ask for your time to talk in my room, while the nurse will take the baby to the NICU, you and your wife can visit the baby later."
Andaro nodded and looked at the incubator walking through him, there was a hint of uneasy foreboding in his heart.
"Doctor, can he live a long life?"
Sendu Andaro's voice that looks resigned. The female doctor next to him just smiled and reached out to let Andaro walk towards his room.
Walk down the hospital hallway with a whipped mind. Pediatrician opened the door of one of the rooms and allowed Andaro to enter, the hospital looked quiet without patient queues because time had shown midnight.
"Please sit Mr. Andaro," said the Doctor as he circled the table and sat across from Andaro.
The silence caused the doctor to take a breath and begin to try to explain the condition of the newborn baby,
"Look at Mr. Andaro, after the search and the medical record information I read, your wife has pre-eclampsia which causes various effects one of which is the baby you were born because this placental abruption is a condition of the placenta that separated from the place of normal implantation in the uterus before birth and it is wrong one reason why your wife is bleeding. Luckily help is immediately done so that your wife and child can be saved. But it turns out that the gestational age is still less than it should be so even though the weight and size of your baby is very good above 2 kg but still born less than 39 weeks including premature birth and some functions the organ is still not perfect,"
No words came out of Andaro, he listened and tried to capture every piece of information the doctor gave him.
"So your daughter still needs observation and treatment, it may be said that the next 2x24 hours is a critical period because from the results of checking it is known that your child's bilirubin is very high."
Andaro's heart melecos, still can not try to calm down, "So Doctor's intention there is a bad possibility that happened? can the great medicine and equipment in this country help him survive the critical period? I can pay for every cost I need."
The doctor shook his head, "Treatment and equipment still support the best rescue process sir, but all we still can not be sure because life belongs to the creator."
"So doctor, with high bilirubin what are the chances of that happening? will the liver be damaged? if I need a donor I'm ready." Andaro began to concoct with things that make little sense because it is not possible that the baby should have a transplant.
The doctor turned the chair around and turned to fetch mineral water and handed it to Andaro, "Please drink first Sir, you should still try hard and hope your wife also definitely need strength to recover quickly. So there is a possibility that your baby can experience because of his high bilirubin such as the risk of deafness, cerebral palsy (cerebral plasy), brain damage (kernicterus) even"
"Oh Tuhaaaan... such a small baby.... What can I do Doctor?" andaro's tears split.
The doctor advised Andaro to calm down and accompany Valencia to rest and the next morning after the condition of Valencia allows to sit in a wheelchair they can approach their child.
Out of the doctor's room with shaky steps, several pairs of nurse's eyes were watching and feeling pity. Before approaching Valencia in the treatment room, Andaro went into the rest room to wash his face and try to remove the scars of sadness.
"You can And. Now that you are the head of the family, you must be able to stand strong for your wife and child" Andaro monologued.
...>.<...
"Honey.." call Andaro slowly while stroking the top of Valencia's head and tucking it in. Valencia was still closed, Andaro shifted the sofa bed available in the room to line up next to the patient bed.
A moment to lay down his body and look at the ceiling of the room Andaro just felt tired body and heart. He hopes this is all a dream, he hopes it is still in his house and nothing happens to Valencia. Is this karma possible, I committed a crime against Dion and now his son is trying to catch up with his missing biological father.
A clear thread flowed from the corner of Andaro's eye. Andaro's hand felt warm as if someone had touched him.
"Yes honey, did I wake you up?"
Valencia shook his head, "Are you okay me And? I'm sorry I'm so tired and my stomach still hurts to face you."
Andaro stood up to face Valencia, "It's okay honey, I'm fine and you're patient that the pain is unstoppable I'll call a nurse to give you painkillers."
Valencia nodded and Andaro pressed the emergency button to speak to the nurse from the intercom, "My wife is in pain please give me the medicine"
Before long the nurse came swiftly and kindly injected painkillers, "Wait five minutes and the pain will be reduced, Madam if you feel thirsty can drink a little. Have you let go of the wind, madam?"
Valencia nodded, "then you can have a drink or just eat a snack if you want, excuse me"
After the nurse left the room, Andaro told them how beautiful their son was.
"I want to see our daughter And. How beautiful and petite is she?"
"Very tiny honey, it weighs 2 kg in length around this.47cm.Might we still be able to carry it with one hand but still it seems we have to hold it tight because he looks fragile."
"I want to see him And"
"You're not tired? it's still midnight Val, hmmm at 2 am is your pain gone?"
Valencia nodded, there was no reason to forbid him to meet his little baby, he could no longer stem the longing for the fetus that had been moving in his stomach.
The nurse came and helped Valencia to sit in a wheelchair slowly. Andaro walked beside Valencia, their hands holding. The nurse who was pushing the wheelchair felt this scene was very moving plus she knew how the condition of the couple's baby in front of her.
The NICU room was open, Andaro and Valencia passed through a sterile room and wearing green robes, another nurse greeted and showed their baby.
"Hi Girl..welcome to the world boy.." whispered Valencia, his hand went into the incubator touching the tiny, fragile body. Valencian index finger down the fingers of his baby and grab. The fingers were open and as if trying to capture with longing.
"Did I just see him smile, honey?" Andaro was very happy to see the beautiful scenery in front of him. Without saying they know that the baby is waiting for them and happy for their presence.
"Baby.. healthy yeah. papa mama loves you..."
"And, we need to give him a name..." Andaro nodded and realized that their baby was not yet named.
"Do you have a name for honey?"
Valencia saw the tiny fingers and the baby's skin is yellowish red, all looks beautiful even though the yellow color is quite alarming.
"Sakura Kobe, we call him Sakura?"
Andaro nodded and kissed the top of Valencia's head and looked at Sakura, "Haii Sakura. Your name is beautiful and you are beautiful like your mama.."
Tears rolling without permission from the eyes of Valencia, there is a deep sense of wanting to embrace Sakura, the fruit of her love even though not with the person who is currently with her but Sakura has also united Valencia with Andaro.
Maybe if at that time Sakura has not grown in Valencia, andaro and Valencia are not yet married or even separated two countries and broke up.
"You brought us together, son.thank you Sakura has been present in my mama's life and united my mom and dad.we love you Sakura"
At the end of Valencia's speech came a sound calling the nurse to approach.
It..tit...
The nurse instructs Valencia and Andaro away from the incubator.
"The baby is breathing down" said a nurse, checking the hose and cable on Valencia and another nurse staring at the monitor in front of him.
"We call the doctor, the baby has heart failure"
Andaro and Valencia were escorted out of the NICU. Both came out with sadness, Valencia could not help but cry. Andaro embraced Valencia, both trying to strengthen each other and no word could be spoken only crying and hope.
The doctor ran in and looked at the couple who were in deep sadness, and the doctor could not be sure if Sakura could be saved or let go.
