While I was in Penang my youngest sister M called me up. She sounds so happy announcing,
“Kak Terompah, it’s a girl. I saw it with my own eyes, she turned her face to me and spread her legs and it’s a girl”
I can still remember her happy voice in my head. She kept on telling me that the baby had her face turn to the screen and look at her. She was so confident that it will be a girl this time. In fact she was praying for a girl. She had 3 boys and 2 girls previously.
But, that was a week ago, yesterday she has to hear different news.
Few days prior to the incident she told me that she went to see the doctor because she was bleeding. She was 4 months pregnant and the baby has already formed. That is when the doctor did the scan and confirmed that the baby is ok and not to worry. She was told to rest.
But she is one energetic lady. I don’t think she rest as advised by the doctor. She came back to Kuantan for CNY holidays and at the same time carrying her 4 years old son which I think by now should weight around 20kg.
Since the bleeding didn’t stop, we took her to Kuantan Specialist. The doctor did a scan and it is confirmed that there is no more heartbeat. The pitter patter of little feet did not survived to see the face of her beautiful mummy. I know how she felt as I myself have experiencing the same thing, the same loneliness, and sadness of losing a baby.
Today, she will undergo a normal delivery. She is still waiting for the labour pain to come. She was advised not to go for D&C procedures since the baby has formed and was told to go for a normal labour. She will have to deliver the baby but yet not able to see her growing, not able to hold her, to hug her and to kiss her little feet.
My word of comfort to my sister as I kept on repeating saying it to myself 21/2 years ago. She is our guardian angel and she will surely be there waiting for us. She is after all in the care of her Creator. She is now in God's Heaven.
