“Eric, sorry to interrupt your time.” Mama Elvira's soft voice became her first greeting shortly after Eric shifted the green symbol on her phone.
Hearing the tone of the mama who panicked and sad, Eric guessed that something had happened. Eric thought Mama Elvira couldn't reach him at such a crucial moment.
“Mama why? How to cry?” tanyanya after hearing sobs.
“Daniza, Ric!”
“Daniza why, Mah?” Eric's thoughts went straight to his brother-in-law. Little wonder, because an hour ago Daniza looked very cheerful and fine.
“Daniza fell off the stairs. Now Mama and Alvin are in the hospital.”
“What?” The news made Eric very surprised. Within seconds he stood up from the bed and panicked. Seeing the reaction of her husband Mila also guessed that something was going wrong. The woman immediately stood by Eric's side and attached the earlobe to the phone, intending to eavesdrop on her husband's conversation.
“Iya, Ric. Now Daniza is in the operating room,” continued the mother.
“Ya already, Mah. I'm going there now.”
Eric immediately disconnected the call and glanced at Mila who was still sticking her chin on her plain shoulder.
"What's up, Ric?"
“Mil, Daniz falls off the stairs. Now it's in the hospital.”
“Daniza fell off the stairs?” A pair of Mila's eyes widened in shock. “Kok can, anyway?”
“I don't know either. I haven't asked for sure. Do you mind if we delay tonight? I have to accompany mama and Alvin in the hospital.”
At first Eric thought his wife would object. But, far beyond estimation, Mila agreed. “Nothing. But I'm coming, yeah. I'd like to see Daniza.”, too
“Iya, can. Thanks for your understanding, dear. If you want to come, quickly change clothes, yes.”
Eric had buried a kiss of love on the forehead. A brief kiss that managed to make both sides of Mila's cheeks blush. It's rare for Eric to be this sweet and romantic. Because of that, Mila does not want their first night through Eric with chaotic thoughts. Mila will wait patiently for the sweet night to arrive.
“I first change clothes, yes.”
“Iya, don't take long.”

Eric and Mila join hands together towards a room that was told the information section. In the distance, Mama and Om Agung were sitting in a long chair. While Alvin paced agitatedly in front of the operating room door.
“Mama ... Alvin!” call Eric as he moves closer.
Mama Elvira immediately greeted Mila and cried in the arms of the ghost. While Eric approaches his brother who now looks restless.
“Kok Daniz can fall?” ask Eric.
“I don't know for sure either. Santi says Daniza hurriedly came down the stairs and fell.” Alvin rubbed his face. It looks very frustrating. Daniza had been in the operating room for almost three hours, but no doctors or nurses had left the room.
“That's patient, yes. Daniza's a strong woman. He will definitely be fine.”
Alvin just nodded his head. At least Eric's whereabouts there made him a little calmer. Because Eric is the only person who understands Alvin the most and knows how to calm himself in a state of panic like now.
The tense atmosphere suddenly changed into a haru atmosphere as it faintly sounded two baby cries from within the room. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Mama Elvira hugged Alvin with tears in her eyes. Surely, the shrill cry signaled that the pair of twins were born in good health.
Alvin was impatient to get into the room and see his son and wife. For 15 minutes, no doctor came out. Makes Alvin nervous again.
Seeing that, Eric again tried to calm down.
“We sit down first, yuk! Don't freak. Masa’ Siti Sama Jarot greeted his papa with a tangled face like this.”
Inevitably Alvin chuckles at hearing the two funny names that Eric mentioned. Alvin often names his two hearts with the call of Siti and Jarot.
"What a strong one, son! Sorry poor papa can take care of mom."
