The Wife You Divorced

The Wife You Divorced
Give birth


This afternoon, Monika is alone at home. While Adnan's husband was taking Ms. Retno to the doctor.


Monika has since been sitting on the front porch of her house holding a broom. Since then Monika swept, but she stopped her activity when her stomach felt pain. It seems Monika has started to feel the name contraction. Because Monika's current pregnancy has also entered the age of nine months.


"Oh, my stomach why suddenly so sick like this," said Monika while holding her stomach.


Monika got up from her seat. After that he took his phone which was in the middle room.


"I have to call Mas Adnan. Why did I send you a check so long anyway," said Monika.


Monika presses Adnan's number to call him. Moments later, Adnan's voice was heard from behind the phone.


"Hello..."


"Hello Mas's. Why are you so long?"


"Mons. It's me still chanting Mon."


"Mas, don't dong for long. My stomach hurts so much."


"Your stomach hurts? don't-don't, you're contracting Mon."


"Yes. Maybe I'll give birth this time. That's why you go home quickly. My stomach hurts so much."


"Yes. You are patient. You wait at home. Later after me and mom get home, we go straight to the maternity clinic."


"Yes Mas. Quickly yes. I can't stand it."


"Yes yes."


After calling her husband, Monika then stepped up to her room. He went up to the bed and lay there.


After a while of waiting, Miss Retno and Adnan finally reached home. They rush into the house to see Monika.


"Where's Monika." Adnan spread his gaze around.


"Maybe he's in Adnan's room" Ms Retno said.


"Yes. I met him first, Mom. You sit here!" adnan Pinta.


"Yes Adnan."


Ms. Retno sat in the living room. Adnan went into his room.


Arriving in the room, Adnan was surprised to see Monika crying.


"Okay.perut I hurt a lot Mas. I'm not strong anymore Mas .." said Monika on the sidelines crying.


Adnan approached Monika and sat down on Monika's side.


"Patience yes. I'd like to ask the neighbors for help. I can't take you on a motorcycle. You need to go to the maternity clinic by car. Maybe I want to go to the house of the rented mother first to borrow a car," said Adnan.


"Yes Mas. Quickly yes. I am no longer strong. Don't take long to borrow the car."


"Yes Mon."


Adnan hurriedly came out of his room. He will borrow a car from his neighbor to take Monika to the maternity clinic.


"Where are you going?" ask Miss Retno.


"I want to borrow the car first, Mom, same as the rented mother. I have to take Monika by car" explained Adnan.


"Yes, there's a quick. Don't you take it long."


"Yes, Mom."


Adnan then got out of the house to borrow a car from a rented mother.


Moments later, Adnan came in with a car. He hurriedly entered the house.


"Mom, being alone at home is okay, right? looks like Monika is giving birth now. I need to get Monika to the maternity clinic."


Retno got up from her seat. After that, he approached his son.


"Mom can come with Adnan?" ask Miss Retno.


"Don't ma'am. I'm sick again."


"It's up to mom. But I'm ready first, ma'am. I'm going to prepare for childbirth."


"Yes Adnan."


Once everything is ready, Adnan then takes Monika into the car. So too with Miss Retno. He also did not want to be left alone at home. She prefers to go to the maternity clinic with her son and daughter-in-law.

At eleven p.m., Adnan and Bu Retno were still waiting for Monika in front of the delivery room.


"How long ago, ma'am" said Adnan.


"It's okay Adnan. The important thing is that Monika gave birth normally. Don't make a cesarean. Because the cesarean must go to the hospital. And it costs a lot too. You don't have a lot of money either."


"Yes, Mom."


Oek..uk...


The baby's voice suddenly sounded. Ms. Retno and Adnan looked at each other.


"Don't that be your baby Adnan."


"Yes Mom. It seems to be my baby who was born."


Moments later, a doctor came out of the delivery room. He smiled as he looked at Adnan and Bu Retno.


"Congratulations Mr. Adnan. My wife gave birth normally. And the baby boy weighs 3.5 kg."


"Alhamdulillah," said Bu Retno and Adnan simultaneously.


"Can I get in the Doc?" ask Adnan.


"Sorry Mr. Adnan, Ms. Monika is still unconscious. And we still have to do intensive treatment for Ms. Monika. And the baby's still with the Midwife."


"Oh. That's so Doc. Yes, I have been waiting here" said Adnan who was a bit disappointed in the doctor. Because she hasn't been allowed to see the baby.


****


This morning Monika was still in the maternity clinic. After giving birth last night, Monika's condition is still very weak. Adnan has been cuddling his baby boy ever since.


Adnan was very happy with the birth of his son. So too with Miss Retno. He was also very happy with the birth of his second grandson.


"Monika, who are you going to name your child?" ask Miss Retno.


Monika who was asked was silent. It seems that Monika did not like the birth of the child.


Why are you born at the wrong time, son, you will carry burdens and problems for mama and papa. Because now your Papa is poor. You wouldn't be happy to have Papa like Adnan. Aluna was born when Mas Adnan was still rich. And now, Aluna also lives in the middle of a wealthy family. His life continues to be happy. While my son, somehow his fate will have a poor father like Adnan, inner monica.


"Monika, why are you silent?' ask Ms. Retno again.


"As for Mas Adnan, who would give him his name."


Ms. Retno looked at Adnan.


"You want to give him what name Adnan is?" ask Miss Retno.


Adnan was silent and seemed to think.


"I'll give you Joseph's name."


Monika and Bu Retno stared at each other.


"Joseph?"


"Yes. I will give you the name of Joseph, for my son is very handsome. I took Joseph's name from the prophet. And Joseph was the most handsome prophet."


Monika just sighed deeply.


"It's just good-looking that his future is bleak" Monika murmured.


Adnan and Bu Retno were shocked when they heard Monika mutter.


"What are you talking about, Mon?" ask Adnan.


"No. I didn't say anything. You misheard it," elak Monika.
