THE LOVE SON OF THE RULER
A DIFFICULT TIME

Revan takes his face away from his son's face, looks at the Doctor who is smiling a little at him and allows him to enter the delivery room, meeting Rania who is still lying weakly on top of the gurney.

Revan stepped slowly, entering the ward while holding his son's tiny body. He smiled a little at Rania who was now looking at him, he could clearly see the guilt from the look of the woman's eyes on him.

He moved his legs slowly, stopping right next to Rania. Revan slowly put his son's tiny body next to his wife, gluing her forehead and Rania's forehead.

Rania's crying broke out, she felt guilty towards her husband. Revan should have arrived in Country A earlier, if it wasn't for him maybe Revan wouldn't be here now.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" said Rania, with tears on her cheeks.

Revan groped slowly, still clinging to their foreheads. He raised his free hand, rubbed his wife's wet cheeks and looked at Rania's teary eyes.

"You're not wrong, baby. Don't blame yourself, even if I go there, I won't have time to look at grandfather before closing my eyes." explains Revan, trying to calm Rania down.

"It's not your fault. I should have apologized for not being able to accompany you at this crucial moment, and instead waited outside the delivery room like a fool. I'm sorry" said Revan, now shaking his head.

"It's okay. I see," said Rania, stroking her husband's cheek gently with her free hand.

"Thank you, thank you for fighting to give birth to our baby, thank you for everything" said Revan, kissing briefly on his wife's lips.

"I promise to protect you, I promise." said Revan, kissing repeatedly on Rania's lips, dispelling the guilt and sadness in the heart of his wife who had fought to give birth to their baby.

Tomorrow.

Right at 10 am in S State, the funeral is done smoothly with a spatter that also accompanies it. Houyang was buried beside the besan, his last request before turning a blind eye. Revin just stared blankly at it, two very meaningful people had gone to God's side, leaving them with cries that might be forgotten the next few days, he said, but forever in the heart.

'Why did you leave, but Vivian has not given birth to Grandpa's great-grandfather. Even grandfather didn't see the face of Grandfather's first great-grandson, why did it have to go so fast?' revin's inner, rough wiping of his face which was again moistened by tears.

On the other hand, at the same time.

Revan wore a blue baby dress on his little son, sometimes daydreaming when remembering that today was the funeral of the grandfather who could not even be attended.

Vivian, who had been standing before Revan, looked at what her sister-in-law was doing, just kept quiet and gently rubbed her right shoulder.

He smiled slightly as Revan looked up at him, who was greeted with a smile by Revan. Although it actually looks very small on her lips, so small that it makes Vivian think if Revan does not smile at all.

Today is covered with deep sadness, maybe someday things that happen today will make it difficult for his little son to celebrate what is called a birthday like a child in general.

"Sit, Vivi. It is not good if pregnant women stand for too long," advises Revan, to hold the tiny body of his son after wearing a light green bedong.

"Well, sister." replied Vivian, turning to step closer to the sofa of the VVIP nursery. While Revan turned to approach Rania with Jayden in his cradle, approaching his wife with a small smile holding back tears.

"I'm out first, I have to call Revin and make sure it's there" said Revan, pretending to be strong in front of his wife.

Rania nodded, immediately Revan walked out to call Revin by occasionally wiping the corner of his eyes that he wanted to shed tears.

"Hello brother."

"How's it going in there?" revan asked, trying to stay strong.

"Yes, that's it. Everyone was still crying, my tears had already dripped yesterday, so I could no longer bring them out today."

Revan just kept quiet hearing his brother's crisp joke.

"Sister, please keep Vivian there for a while, huh? I will stay in this place for the next few days, I promise I will return quickly. I'm asking for help, yes sis." beg Revin across the phone.

"Yes, you do all the work there. Sorry for not being able to help you, I send my regards and sorry to Daddy and Mommy. Same with grandparents, and others. Sorry for not being able to attend even for a day" said Revan, holding back his urge.

Revin was silent across the phone, sighed for a moment and then smiled as if Revan saw him across the phone.

"Yes, brother, I'll make sure. I send greetings to your little hero, hopefully later when he grows up, he can be a smart and obedient child to the words of his parents. And may he be protected from all the bad things that will happen."

"Yes, thank you, Revin. Take care of yourself there" said Revan and decided on a call when he got a tip from his sister across the phone.

"Yes, hopefully in the future there is no problem." said Revan, wiping his tears before entering his wife's nursery.

Elsewhere, not much different from Revan's condition. Carlos could not move or leave his home in Country C. The condition of his wife who was pregnant old made him unable to move freely, even he was not present at Houyang's funeral.

"Akhs! Shit!" carlos said with tears in his eyes, hitting his desk hard.

Without Carlos realizing it, Felicia stood up earlier outside the door of her room, looking down miserably as she rubbed her stomach.

'On this sad day, we can't even leave the house to attend Houyang's grandfather's funeral.' Inner Felicia, looked down miserably.

In Country F was not much different, Reon could not move freely as Carlos. Remembering the words of the Doctor if the birth of their baby only remains to count the days, making him have to prepare everything carefully, until he really can't do anything but take care of Liona.

"Sorry grandfather Houyang, sorry." said Reon, rubbing his face rough inside his tightly shut study. Don't want Liona to hear his sadness, because it could be wrong his wife feels guilty about it. Remember if pregnant women are very sensitive and can be disturbed by everything that happens around.

***

Two Weeks later.

Everything starts to return to normal, although still feeling sad in certain moments of losing to remember old memories.

Arian and Ana, along with her two sons and daughter-in-law, were sitting in the living room of the large mansion of the Li family. Enjoy a beautiful Sunday morning.

Ana held her first grandchild with a smile on her face, then slightly looked up at Vivian who was sitting with an object in her hand.

"Where did you get that from, Vi?" asked Ana, making all pairs of eyes look at Vivian, as well as Revin who immediately glared perfectly at the object that had bad memories in his memory.
