"Love!" "Yes baby? Hey? It's happening!? Now!?"

Matteo berlari ke arah Evelynn. Dia terus sahaja memapah Evelynn perlahan ke arah pintu. Ayah Evelynn sudah bersedia dengan kunci kereta.

Ibunya pula telah bersedia dengan beg pakaian dan barangan yang perlu dibawa ke hospital. Ia tersenyum dalam kesakitan.

"You guys are really cute now. I'm thankful for you all. Thank you. I love you all."

Evelynn berkata sebelum dia dibawa ke hospital kerana dia tidak tahu apa yang bakal berlaku. Ia hanya tahu bahawa dia akan selamatkan bayi ia hingga ke hujung nafasnya.

"Baby.. I'm here with you like I promised. So do what you promised. You and baby must be safe okay?"

Evelynn menarik nafas panjang sebelum senyum manis. Dia mengangguk.

"Baby, push!" "It's hard!" "Do it, baby. Come on!"

Tubuh kecil Evelynn membuatkan dia tidak ada tenaga untuk meneran anaknya. Namun masih, dia mahu cuba melahirkan anaknya sendiri. Dia tahu bahawa kedua dua cara melahirkan punyai risiko dan kelebihan ia tersendiri.

"Are you sure, baby." "I'm sure. I'm.. I'm trying hard, love." "Tarik nafas. Breath in, baby. And I want you to hold my hand tight."

Evelynn mencengkam tangan Matteo ketika dia meneran. Akhirnya dia berjaya melahirkan bayi sulung mereka dengan selamat.

Apabila bayi mereka mula menangis, air mata Matteo mengalir laju. Evelynn terkelu.

"You're crying? Love.." "Thank you, baby. I love you. I love you so much."

Evelynn tersenyum dalam tangisnya apabila sang cinta hatinya mencium dahinya sebelum mereka diberi peluang untuk melihat anak mereka.

"He's cute, love. He looks like you." "Muhammad Nuh Haq."

Itulah nama yang mereka pilih buat anak sulung mereka, ketika mendapat tahu bahawa anak itu ialah anak lelaki. Khalifah baharu di lahirkan ke dunia dengan jayanya.

Matteo mengendong Nuh sambil tersenyum. Dia tidak mampu berhenti menangis apabila melihat anak sulung mereka.

Dia melihat Evelynn yang sudah terlena kerana keletihan. Dia mencium dahi dan pipi isterinya.

"Thank you, angel. You're precious. You're all I want to keep in life forever. I'll never fall again with anyone else because I found you. You're a beautiful soul. The most beautiful one."

"The one and only person captured my heart. I love you the most, angel. Thank you."

Matteo memegang tangan Evelynn lalu dicium perlahan.

"I love you, baby."

Sampai ke akhir hayatnya, Evelynn akan kekal sebagai 'baby' dia.

Evelynn terjaga dari tidurnya. Dia tersenyum. Ia memandang Matteo.

"I'm still your baby?" "Always my baby. I'll keep you in my heart forever." "Hmm. Don't leave me alone tonight." "I'm not going anywhere, baby. I will sleep there." "Sleep here." "Nope, baby. Ibu akan pukul saya kalau nampak kita macam tu. I can assure you that will happen."

Evelynn tergelak kecil lalu menggeleng.

"Ibu takkan pukul awak. Ibu akan pukul saya. I know her well." "You have to see her face when she saw Nuh. She was sooo happy, excited."

"Aww. Sedihnya tak dapat tengok." "I recorded all their reactions for you. Ibu, ayah, papa, and Hafreez." "Seriously!? Thank you!"

"And.. our colleagues, my old boss, your boss."

Evelynn melihat semua reaksi mereka lalu dia juga terasa sebak. Apabila melihat Huzair, dia tergelak kecil.

"He's there too?" "Yup. He came to see our baby with his fiance." "Who's his fiance?" "His friend. Entah siapa. Tapi awak kenal dia." "Seriously? I am so happy for him."

Evelynn melihat sahabat sahabatnya juga ada di sana apabila melihat bayinya. Dia terkelu. Terus mengalir air matanya.

"After all.. I can say that I'm the happiest person in the world right now. Having you by my side. I never expected all the happiness you'll give me."

"Matteo Haq.. I love you so much. My cinta, I'm going to love you forever. I promise. Thank you. Terima kasih sebab cintakan saya, cari saya dari dulu sampai sekarang."

"I'll always find you, baby. Because you're angel. My angel. Remember?" "Hmm. I'm your angel."

Matteo mencium Evelynn. Evelynn terkelu. Dia menggeleng.

"Kalau ibu nampak, I'm dead, love." "No kisses for a month then?" "Who said that? We'll kiss." "Serious?" "Hmm. Why not? Kisses won't hurt."

Matteo dan Evelynn ketawa bersama.
