Bridal Tears And Chameleon Family
Chapter 9 Birth
It looked like a 30-year-old, somewhat thin-looking man with somewhat messy hair pacing the front hallway of the delivery room. Sweat pours from his forehead. Either because of anxiety, heat or sweat because of him who keeps pacing. His behavior provoked a sense of unease from people around him. They continued to notice how the man could have the strength to keep pacing for thirty minutes. It feels like they stop the man they noticed but they also realize maybe this is one way he might do to reduce his anxiety.
From a distance, Sister walked up to the man intending to calm him down.
“Pak, please sit down first. We try our best for the family Mr.” said Sister.
“I'm new this first time Sus. Must be all right Same wife my son?” ask Husband.
There was a screaming sound from inside the delivery room and made Husband gawk. Sister was confused, preparing to hear a question she might hear in a moment.
“Sus, My wife does not papa ‘kan?” ask the worried husband.
“Iya Sir. My wife and son are fighting inside. You calm down first yes, sit in the chair we provide so as not to disturb the others as well. That's sir, the other on the ngeliatin from earlier,” said Sister.
The husband was silent to the response from the Sister. Sister breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed to have managed to calm the visitors of this Hospital.
“Fear also later if there are patients who need quick treatment even kehalang fitting we bring for handling,” added Sister.
The husband sat in the long chair in front of him. Sister looks unbearable after saying that. At least the situation was calmed. The nurse left the husband who was bowing in the chair. He realized that he had made everyone uncomfortable. While looking down waiting for the labor process to finish, the husband stepped on the floor slowly, replacing the pacing activity earlier. Husband tries not to be so tight as not to disturb.
The sound of the baby's voice from inside the delivery room and awaken the Husband from his daydream. He looked expectantly at the door of the delivery room, wanting to hear his name called immediately. Before long, the door of the delivery room opened and the Sister who helped with the delivery looked towards the Husband.
“Sir Augustine,” Sister calls name of Mr Toni.
Agus looked expectantly at Sister. The two of them smiled at each other, indicating that everything had been safely passed. Slowly, Agus stepped into the delivery room to meet Tuti and Little Toni.

Toni sat down and stomped her feet on the floor while remembering how she was told about her birth. He recalled how his Father was pestering around by constantly pacing around until he had to reprimand Senior Sister. However, there is one thing that Toni forgets and again makes everyone around her uncomfortable. Toni forgot not to stomp her kakin to the floor. Some people look back at Toni just as Agus used to see people around him. The situation of Rina who had to undergo surgery made Toni even more nervous. Moreover, he was afraid that the trip was taking Rina late. Suddenly the sound of a vehicle horn in Toni's ear. The late afternoon jam after work hours made the journey of Rina and Toni somewhat hampered. At that time, it was like he had a portable siren like the one the police put out in action movies when chasing his enemy.
The honking sound that appeared in Toni's ear was lost by the murmuring sound of one of the patient's families. Toni looked at the source of the voice and found the source of the voice looking seriously at him. Toni's reflex stops her leg. At a time like this, he wished that Agus and Tuti were by his side. Especially Tuti. Despite the different processes, he felt Tuti was better able to calm him down than his Father. Agus will probably only tell about his stupidity first when waiting for Tuti lahiran.
Toni's HP rang receiving a message from Helnina. He asked how the revision Toni had done. Toni was upset that she had forgotten to send Helnina the results of her revision. Toni then explained the situation to Helnina, her forgetfulness to send revisions and herself who had to put her wife first because she had to give birth immediately. Helnina, who had just learned of Rina's condition, apologized and wished Toni the best. Toni promised to send it soon after having the opportunity to return home.
There were a few footsteps approaching Toni. Toni looks towards the source of the voice and finds Agus, Tuti, Bambang and Marni approaching Toni. Toni's face looks calmer now. At least he can spend time waiting for the labor process that feels this long with the closest person. Bambang and Agus brought dus containing mineral water and fruit for consumption who came to visit later. They put him in a chair and invited their wives to fill the empty seat.
“Ton, was it safe ‘kan on the road?” ask Tuti.
“Safe to Bu. Cuman emang jammed quite earlier,” replied Toni.
“Udah also Mom. Fortunately, it was taken from the day after tomorrow. Didn't expect it would be more flattering,” replied Toni.
Agus scrunched his forehead, confused by Toni's answer.
“Loh, is this more flat than expected huh?” ask Agus.
“Iya Sir. There is a risk of being more confident also because of the condition,” replied Toni.
Agus nodded his head.
“Maybe also abis this baby goes into the incubator first.”
“What time did you enter the room?” ask Bambang.
“Jam 7an Sir,” replied Toni.
Bambang looked at his watch.
“A minute again maybe yes completion,” said Bambang.
“Iya Sir. He said he was sorry caesar,” reply Toni.
The five men looked at the delivery door expectantly. Although they have all been involved in the process of childbirth, the caesarean process is something foreign to them. Before long, the door they had been looking at opened. The five of them were confused and anxious because they did not hear the sound of crying. Instantly, they instantly prepared themselves for the worst. The impatient Toni got up and approached the Doctor who was also walking towards Toni.
“Dok, how are my Son and Wife? How come there is no cry?” ask Toni worriedly.
The doctor smiles at Toni's question and leaves Toni confused. I want it to feel like Toni is angry at the Doctor for feeling underestimated by the Doctor's expression but he is resistant.
“Quiet Sir. The delivery went well. Why do not you hear the sound of crying because it is premature Sir,” replied the Doctor.
Tears flowed down Toni's cheeks.
“The Father's son is in the incubator now. Maybe soon can be seen all the same Father's Wife. Congratulations sir, excuse me first,” said the Doctor and left Toni.
Toni sculpted, did not have time to reply to the words of the Doctor. The voice that was around him became indistinct after the congratulations from the Doctor. He's happy. His wife managed to defeat the process of life and win along with her Son. Tony will be a father.
