Detective Haezel
MUST BE STRONG

"Mayra why else, Mi?" Ask Haezel who just arrived at the hospital. Mayra was already lying in a gurney inside the ER room with several medical devices connected to her body.

"Mommy doesn't know either!"

"So Mayra complained of dizziness and her vision blurred after a shower. Mami's check, Mayra's got a fever."

"Then when Mami was about to take her to the room, Mayra suddenly fainted," explained Mami Emily recounting the chronology of Mayra's stings to Haezel.

Haezel went into the ER to see Mayra, whose eyes were closed.

"Darling, wake!" Haezel said with a soft tone while holding Mayra's hand.

"Say you want a vacation at Aileen's?" Lirih Haezel again who had changed to kiss the hand of Mayra who did not respond at all.

The doctor finally came and immediately examined Mayra's condition.

"Doc!" Haezel looked expectantly at the doctor.

"We'll give you an injection to speed up fetal lung maturation"

"The age of Mayra is only thirty-one weeks..." Haezel's voice was stuck in his throat. The man was at a loss for words.

"Mayra will be in hospital until her baby is ready to be born so we can all continue to monitor her condition." The doctor explained to Haezel.

"Mayra can definitely get through this, Ezel!" The doctor again gave a glimmer of hope to Haezel who was no longer able to hide her sadness. Haezel clasped Mayra's hand tightly while not stopping to make prayers so that Mayra and her future children are always strong.

"You're a strong woman, honey! You'll get through this" murmured Haezel with teary eyes while not stopping to kiss Mayra's hand.

Mayra's third week in hospital...

Aileen's sister went into the treatment room and immediately greeted Haezel who was feeding Mayra.

"Sore, Candidate Mom and prospective Dad!"

"Sore, Brother Aileen!" Mayra replied while commenting on a smile.

"Sir Aileen brought Latisha?" Mayra asked which immediately made Aileen shake her head.

"Latisha slept earlier. So I live in a house with Mami and Papi. Tomorrow, yeah!" Said Aileen gave understanding to Mayra who was a little disappointed.

"Yes, Brother! It's okay" Mayra murmured before the woman opened her mouth again and received the food that Haezel had fed her.

"You don't work? Or have you gone home?" Aileen's brother instead asked Haezel, as well as taking over the food from his sister's hand. Now replace Aileen's sister who feeds Mayra who eats her so greedily.

"Ezel came home early" replied Haezel. The man rubbed Mayra's stomach and put his head there as if he was listening to the movements of his future son.

"Turkey? Or girls?" Ask Aileen next to Mayra.

"Girl, Brother! So her friend Latisha later," Mayra replied with sparkling eyes.

"Mommy's grandson and Papi's a girl and a girl again. Hope this guy-"

"Gee!" Aileen's sister silenced her own mouth.

"Aileen's pregnant again?" Haezel asked directly.

"Cliff kebablasan," answered Aileen reasoned along with the door of the treatment room opened from the outside.

"Who's the kebablas?" Ask Cliff who just came.

"Abang Cliff said Brother Aileen." Haezel answered quickly while rubbing Mayra's stomach.

"Where is! You asked me for hamili, yourself" Cliff said, which immediately made Aileen grimace.

"You were the one who forced it!" Aileen still blames her husband.

"Yes, but it's also with your consent!"

"Yes, yes! It's both of us!" Aileen began to get upset. Haezel's older sister had returned to feed Mayra who was only chuckling to witness Cliff and Aileen's debate.

"Then he was both old, his son wanted two, still like a cat and a mouse" Haezel said to his brother and brother-in-law.

"Ck! We're not old!" Aileen reflexes over Haezel's head.

"Older than Ezel and Mayra, right? Bearti is old!" Haezel is still mocking.

"Yes you are also older than Mayra. You are old too!" Aileen taunted Haezel.

"Mayra the most ABG here!" Mayra's chirps over the Haezel and Aileen debate.

"Still ABG but you want to be Mom!" Cliff who immediately made the four of them laugh.

"Yahuuk! Uhuuk!" Mayra coughed probably so much that she laughed.

"May, slowly laugh!" Haezel quickly rubbed the back of Mayra who had not stopped coughing. Haezel's wife's face is even red now due to breathing difficulties.

"May,"

"Yahuuk! Uhuuk!" Mayra kept coughing and her face grew pale.

Cliff's back with the doctor and some nurses who took action on Mayra. Haezel did not move from beside his wife. While Aileen and Cliff just stay quiet while embracing each other and pray for Mayra to be okay and nothing bad happened.

Midnight.

Haezel was still asleep when the man faintly heard Mayra's voice calling out and rubbing her head.

"Mas."

"Mas Ezel," call Mayra down.

"Hmmm!"

"What's up, honey?" Haezel had woken up quickly.

"Do you need anything?" Ask Haezel sprightly.

"When can May go home, Mom?" Mayra asked still in a soft tone.

"Later, after May's healthy, yeah!" Haezel answered while gently rubbing Mayra's head.

"May's healthy, my mom!"

"And May just had a dream." Mayra's story that immediately made Haezel's chest suddenly back tight.

Dreams, May!

No more wedding dresses!

"May dream of meeting mom and dad, Mas!" Mayra said again that successfully made Haezel's heart melt.

"May miss Mom and Dad?" Asked Haezel who was all her might holding back her tears so as not to fall.

"May wants to make a pilgrimage to their tomb, Mas" Mayra said.

"Yes!"

"Later if Mayra has recovered Mas interra, yes!" Haezel promised Mayra.

"May wants to go there before giving birth, Mas!" Pinta Mayra insisted.

Haezel.

"May's next week has given birth. So May had to rest in the hospital completely," Haezel finally told Mayra.

Preeclampsia experienced by Mayra is already in the weight category. And the only way to avoid complications is that baby Mayra must be born soon.

"Front week?" Mayra looks shocked.

"But not the new May content"

"It's been thirty-five weeks" Haezel said quickly.

"Yesterday the doctor did the USG and the weight of our baby was two-kilos. His lungs are also mature."

"Our daughter is ready to be born" explained Haezel at length giving understanding to Mayra.

"May has to be strong and fight, yes!"

"May will definitely be able to get through this," Haezel said at length as she clasped Mayra's hand tightly.

"Mas Ezel will always be next to May, right?" Ask Mayra lirih.

"Of course!"

"Mas will always accompany Mayra, until our daughter is born into the world, then we can hold her together." Haezel tries to think positively.

Haezel knew that Mayra was a strong woman, so Mayra would definitely fight as well this time. And later after their baby is born, Mayra will recover as usual. Then Haezel and Mayra will raise their baby together.
