Lukman did not know what had happened. When he was about to ask that, but failed because Rena looked like she wanted to be hugged.
"Finally you arrived!" Lukman hugs Rena tightly but also with many question marks.
“Rena, has our child been born? But how come your belly is still big?” One long sentence that Rena got from Lukman made the woman giggle.
"The baby is just kidding. It was fake contractions." Rena explained briefly while grinning. Meanwhile, Lukman is now very distrustful of the casual remarks earlier.
"Why? So our child hasn't been born yet? Rena nodded sweetly. Lukman ruffled his hair while heaving a sigh of relief.
"I'm relieved that you're okay. But really, how come our children don't come out? Let me ask the doctor." Lukman said while looking in any direction. He looked for the doctor. He didn't doubt all the doctor's skills here, but he as a father, just didn't want to take such a big risk. He had to make sure this was true or not.
"Yes Mr. Lukman, I'm here." The doctor said with a friendly smile.
Lukman turned his head. He saw a female doctor who was now looking at him with a friendly face. Then Lukman immediately asked what he had wanted to ask before.
"I'm sorry if I offended the doctor, but is it true that my baby wasn't born? What caused all of this to happen? Is baby uncomfortable inside or what? As a father, I am very worried if something happens to my child. Help me ask the doctor to re-examine it!”
The doctor nodded. She was used to dealing with this kind of thing. Of course, it's nothing new if the patient's emotions increase because of worry or other things.
"So true. More precisely, your wife is only experiencing fake contractions. It wasn't from the baby but the uterus contracting. This usually occurs in the early trimester of pregnancy but some cases can also occur when the gestational age is at the time of delivery, as experienced by Rena's mother. If Mr. Lukman wants to check all the baby's conditions then I support that. let's do it with the help of ultrasound. Is Mrs. Rena ready?”
Rena believes in doctors. But seeing Sumi's worries made Rena feel like she had to do the ultrasound.
"Okay doctor."
Rena smiled as she tried to sit up and get out of bed. Lukman swiftly helped his wife to get off the hospital gurney.
"Rena, don't just move around, okay? Afraid that our baby will be okay again."
Ren smiled. She was honestly glad to be able to see Lukman from this side. But she also couldn't bear to see her husband become uneasy with all things related to their child.
"Lukman... believe me. Our child just wants to play, she's healthy. Later, let's see! But promise you don't panic like this okay? I'm good, our child is also good."
Lukman just hugs Rena. He didn't answer anything. The man supported his woman to now go to the special ultrasound room.
The doctor told Rena to lie down. And the ultrasound started. Lukman, who had faithfully held his wife's hand, now saw a small figure actively kicking. For some reason, it seemed as if he knew that he had to give news that she was fine inside to her father who was thinking frantically.
"Look at that! She keeps kicking. This wants to tell dad that I'm fine and healthy inside…" Rena said in a baby voice.
"Right. Listen to the sound of the tool. The sound was even louder. Indicates that the fetus is healthy and nothing happened to her in there. Even though the mother experiences a little pain, it's uterine contractions. So for babies, she doesn't have any effect." The doctor is now moving the special ultrasound device.
Seeing everything with his direct eyes, Lukman became very relieved. He can see their future child well and also Rena who smiles is the thing she wants most while on the road. Although expectations differ. When he was on the street, he thought that Rena and he could already carry their child, but it turned out that it wasn't the right time.
But whatever it is. one thing is for sure he always expects whatever and wherever his condition is, to be their child, and also Rena will always be good and healthy. He also doesn't forget to always pray, so that for all the moments of their child's birth, he will always be beside Rena, not like before.
"Thank you, doctor," Lukman said with a relieved face. "I'm sorry I was confused and scared. Since then I was not beside Rena. My guilt is getting thicker if something unwanted happens to my wife or child. Please understand because we are a new couple who will be going through something new too.”
The doctor smiled and nodded kindly. "No problem. Not only Pak Lukman who behaves like this. everyone I've worked with also always says the same thing when they're feeling frantic like just now.”
A really good doctor and understands the patient. Lukman once again feels very grateful for this.
"Okay. My job is done. I'll be back for control of Mrs. Rena's situation in the next few hours. I'll take my leave first."
Rena and Lukman nodded. After the doctor left, now they looked at each other and laughed because of what they had just faced.
"Ahh, if you know I'm on the street how surely you will get angry." Rena stopped her laughter and hugged Lukman who had just arrived and sat near her.
"You must be speeding and cranky looking for shortcuts, always thinking about this beautiful me." Lukman chuckled. Rena is the person who understands Lukman the most. Of course, the woman was right.
"One hundred for you! You and our children make me very frantic. I think you, poor our children are poor, and many negative things that you think. At the front of the hospital, I immediately ran and looked for your room. So, don't do this again... I'm worried, afraid, and many other negative things." Rena tightened her hug on Lukman. She knows very well what makes Lukman like that. The reason he was there was because of her and their child, a very big and extraordinary thing.
"I don't know daddy. I don't want to promise not to joke any more." Lukman turned and immediately pinched Rena's cheek. Then he rubbed Rena's stomach slowly.
"Don't listen to mom! You don't ever make Daddy so upset and scared again okay? Daddy's scared of you, why?"
Lukman's words made Rena giggle. She's a little grateful that this happened because it made her know what to say when tomorrow there are contractions again.
“I love you, Daddy...”
Lukman turned and found Rena with a cute face. She smiled and framed her wife's face.
"I love you Mommy..." replied Lukman while now kissing Rena's lips.
But then someone's voice suddenly startled them both.
"Oh my god!!”
