19. The Birth Of The Baby
Seven Months Later
"Mbak Atun," cried Adelia from inside her room.
"Did Miss?"Mbak Atun immediately put down the mop and then ran towards Adelia. "Oh my god, why Adel?"
"Please contact Hendra. My stomach hurts so much, I can't take it anymore." Adelia writhed on her bed, and the pain in her stomach grew unbearable.
"Ok. Wait a minute."
Tut... tut…
"Come on young master, " said household assistant Wibisana anxiously. "Gosh not answered" Mbak Atun is still busy with his cellphone screen, he presses the phone button again, then makes several calls.
"Mbakkk..."
,"Yes Miss? I'm sorry Young Master has called but not answered, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Big."
"Mbak, take my cell phone, and call my father."
Mbak Atun obeyed orders from Adelia, she took Adelia's cell phone lying on the table, looking for her father's contacts, then pressed the call button.
[Hello Adelia]
[Em... Hello sir. I'm sorry, I'm Atun,the Wibisana family household assistant."
[Oh why is Mbak Atun calling? Where's Adelia?]
[Miss Adelia is having contractions, but Mr Hendra and the others cannot be called. Therefore Miss Adelia asked me to contact you sir.]
[Gosh, contractions? I'm going to the Wibisana family home right now. Please calm Adelia and make her relax so that her contractions can be slightly reduced.]
[Yes, sir. I will do any advice from you.]
The call ended, and Mbak Atun rushed back to Adelia's room.
"Miss Adelia, I've contacted your father. He's on his way here."
"It hurts so bad, I can't take it anymore."
"Miss Adelia, hold it, inhale then release slowly."Mbak Atun stroked Adelia's stomach, trying to relax her as advised by Mr Adiwangsa.
"Will my baby be okay? My stomach hurts so much, I'm afraid something will happen to it."
"Baby Miss Adelia will be fine. This is called non-contraction, it is natural for women who are pregnant to feel something like this. "You have to calm down, Adelia."
Bim...bim…
"That must be my dad's car."
"Excuse me Miss Adelia, I go ahead for a bit?"
"I'm fine, ma'am."
"Alright, I'll be right back." MbakAtun stepped out of Adelia's room.
"Good morning Mr. Adiwangsa"
"Good Morning. What about Adelia Mbak Atun?"
"Oh, Miss Adelia is still enduring her pain in the master's room."
" how about Hendra? Can't be contacted yet?"
"I haven't contacted him yet sir, I'm too anxious about non Adel's condition."
"Alright, let's go to Adelia's room," the two men stepped quickly towards Adelia's room.
"Oh my god, Miss Adelia." Mbak Atun was surprised, followed by Mr Adiwangsa, who was in front of her. They found the figure of Adelia closing her eyes with her face down while holding her stomach.
"Adelia, wake up, it's dad." Mr Adiwangsa patted his daughter on the shoulder, trying to wake her up.
"Looks like Miss Adelia fainted Sir."
"Right, we should take him to the hospital immediately."
Without many words, Adiwangsa grabbed his daughter's body and carried her to the car. "Mbak Atun, I took Adelia to the hospital first. Keep in touch with Hendra, if you can immediately inform her that his wife is in the nearest hospital."
"Yes sir, I understand. I will follow your orders."

Adelia has received treatment at the hospital. The gynaecologist examines the condition of the mother and baby. While outside the examination room, Adiwangsa looked anxious. He walked to the right a few steps, then turned to the left a few more steps.
"Hendra has not come yet. I better try to contact him." Old Adiwangsa took out his cell phone, he rushed to call his son-in-law.
No answer. Mr Adiwangsa tried it one more time.
[Hello]
(Finally answered my phone.)
[What's up, dad?]
[Hendra, Adelia is in the hospital at the moment. She had such violent contractions that she fainted.]
[Oh yeah? Then what is his condition now?]
[Doctor checking]
[Oh, yes, already. I'm going to the hospital after my work is done, dad. There is emergency work to be done immediately.]
Hearing the question from his son-in-law, Adiwangsa just shut up. In his heart, he grumbled, annoyed.
His wife was struggling alone in the hospital. He said his work was still piling up and needed to be done. This is what I've been worried about all along.
"Excuse me, you are the patient's family on behalf of Adelia?"
"Yes doc, I'm his father. How is my daughter's condition?"
"Patient it's time to give birth Sir. but his condition is currently very weak, we need to do surgery to remove the baby."
Hearing the doctor's statement in front of him, Adiwangsa's legs weakened, "alright, doc, if that's the best step, just do the surgery. The most important thing is the safety of my daughter and granddaughter.
"Yes sir, we will do the operation. Before that, please take care of the administration first".
A few hours later, the baby's crying echoed out of the operating room. A feeling of relief was drawn to the heart of Mr Adiwangsa.
"Tuan Adiwangsa"
"Yes, Doc."
"Please come in, Sir, and your grandson has been born healthy, as well as his mother is in good condition at the moment."
"Thank God, thank you doctor." Adiwangsa broke into Adelia's treatment room.
"Adelia"
"Dad." Adelia kissed the back of her father's hand. "Who are you with here?"
"I am alone."
"Hendra's not here, Dad?"
"Em... Hendra was no interest that can not be abandoned, but he promised to come here."
Adelia's smile faded, and she looked at the baby asleep on her lap. It doesn't matter, and your father is busy with his work.
"Adelia"
"Yes, father" " without realizing it, tears began to pool in the arms of Adelia's eyes.
"Are you crying?"
"Ah no father, I just got carried away, on the day of the birth of my baby, my husband did not come to accompany me here. Is this all because Hendra is not the real father of my baby pa? She is more concerned with her work than me and my baby."
"Hust.... never mind, I'm sure someday your baby will grow up to be a loving man so that everyone next to him becomes loving and affectionate with him."
"What does it mean if your father doesn't care about you?" Adelia's tears are growing.
"Adelia, listen to me. Hendra doesn't care, I'm sure he also loves your son. Sometimes indeed the affairs in the office are really precarious so that it cannot be left by the leadership. You have to trust your husband."
Adelia did not answer. She just bowed silently, building up positive thoughts about her husband.
"Who will this baby be named after?"
"What about Nathan pa? Nathan has an intuitive and creative sense. Nathan also means the giver. I hope that the positive meanings in that name will be shared by my son pa."
"What a beautiful name, I agree."
