Akara Longs for the Waiting

22

Faza looked at Kai and Meysa who were staring at each other. Although Meysa threw a look of annoyance and Kai threw a gentle gaze, but Faza saw the flames of love that still stirred between them. Huah, it was like watching the story of Zainuddin and Hayati who met again after so long, even though there was Aziz among them.

“Call Kai also, Mey. It's just brother being called." Faza's sweat, trying to break the awkwardness between Zainuddin and Hayati who are both still harboring love.

With Meysa forced to obey, he did not want to be traded Faza again like last night.

“Let's eat!"

Kai smiled at being eaten by the Moon. Although he knew it was only a kindness that had to be done in front of the prospective sister-in-law, but it was fine, at least he could get the attention of the person who was sorry once he expected.

Faza smiled faintly as he looked at Meysa and then invited the guest instead of just any guest to have breakfast together.

When passing through the middle room, Faza was surprised to see Rena who was still sleeping soundly.

“Rena's still sleeping." Faza muttered, his eyes immediately turned away when he saw Rena's astaghfirullah sleeping position. On his cheek was a dry sill.

Likewise with Kai, it turns out that Rena is not only bar-bar in speech, but the way she sleeps is also very bar-bar. The star sat around Julia, quite know about Rena's attitude.

“Leave it alone, do not need to be awakened. Rena's been a leaky bucket. Lessons to be taught!"

Faza only scowled at his sister's words which were indeed a little vindictive, he knew what the leaky bucket Meysa meant. While Kai only gulped roughly hearing the Moon's faint speech, it turned out that he was quite fierce. Not much different from Rena.

Kai's memory was immediately focused on the night he had just arrived, Rena even scolded him for ever leaving Meysa. He was lectured at length.

Arriving in the kitchen, Faza and his wife let Kai sit next to Ciara, Faza's eldest son who was ready with his school batik uniform.

“Sit Kai, eat a lot, don't be shy!" Faza started scooping the side dishes.

“Yes, don't hesitate!" Eka chimed in. The housewife who is also a career woman scoops the vegetable team rice, then moves to the room.

Kai smiled shyly, Faza and Sister-in-law Meysa were so kind to him. No longer hesitating, Kai's hand chose a clipped egg and a parchment to fill the fried rice plate.

“Kakak didn't eat?" kai asked when he saw Eka instead enter, instead of me joining a meal together. There are two empty seats there.

“Oh that, he wants to feed his son first.” Faza replied as if what he was going to eat was not his son either. “Most later eat if your little one is ready."

Kai mangosteen and start eating breakfast. His direction followed Faza's eyes, seeing Meysa scooping fried rice but not joining as well.

“Where do you eat, Mey?" asked Faza as Meysa went outside, about to eat on the back porch of the house.

“You ate in the back.” The girl answered without looking.

Kai felt bad, before yesterday and last night Meysa treated him very well, although the annoyance was there before he came, but the girl still wanted to welcome him, even accompanied him to eat like on Kai's first night there.

Kai's appetite is lost seeing Meysa do so. He didn't eat, just a few mouthfuls earlier. The rest is just stirring the rice.

Faza who saw did not want to reprimand. In his heart he grimaced at how complicated the relationship between the Moon and the Star was. Even Ciara, her daughter also took a look at Kai who was hit by anxiety in the morning.

“Kak why? Scolded mama too is why her food in the stirring so?"

Realizing that Kai turned to look at the figure of Cia who was beside him. It turned out that the 7-year-old boy was watching her earlier.

Faza who was sitting before him also glanced at the child. In his heart Faza thought that Kai was being scolded by his mother, because Gia would also do the same thing as Kai. Pouting while stirring food because it is not tasteful. The daughter thought that Kai was the same as herself when she was being scolded.

Faza shook his head, he tried to explain to Ciara.

“Call om!" Faza first taught Cia to call Kai with the right name. If Kai becomes with Meysa, it means Kai will become om Cia too, must be taught early on to get used to it.

'Should call brother, I'm not that old until I should be called om.' Kai sat there with a feeling of unworthiness thinking about Meysa's attitude.

“Om Kai stirred up the food not because of being scolded by Mama Cia, but because om Kai had a toothache," Faza explained as he glanced at Kai.

Making the young man scratch his non-itchy head. Faza's answer is not wrong, the fathers are just trying to explain by finding the right reason. Shouldn't show his excitement there, Kai felt kebablasan. The level of confusion is already unlimited. She's bobbing.

Instead of stopping to talk, the curious boy again asked a new question, overwhelming his papa.

“Means that om Kai is lazy to brush his teeth so that his teeth hurt until he can not eat?"

“Sakiy teeth are indeed delicious!”

Kai swallowed a rough spit. Lazy toothbrush? Ah no, it's not like that. He is a healthy young man who is very caring for oral health, not out of thought with the thought of the first grade elementary school boy.

Lucky Eka came on time. Mothers are the best child-controlling handlers. He made Gia stop asking questions. Although mothers like Eka are often branded fiercely by their children, it is also fortunate, because their children immediately obey and hear all his words.

“Eat again Kai! Talk Gia not to be responded.”

Finally Kai still spent the food even though the mood became not good because of Meysa. He must take care of the feelings of the host.

“Sini adeknya let me yag gendong kak." Seeing Eka overwhelmed by taking food while holding the baby, Kai tried to offer himself up. He really likes kids. Kai remembered Azka, the only one who was two years old.

Eka smiled, feeling helped by Kai's offer. He then handed over Cia who was very happy when handed over to Kai. The puffed-up baby moved his hands and feet cheerfully.

While Faza was still a duckling to his wife, it seemed like he was still angry because of last night's incident. The father of two children then left, collecting dirty dishes belonging to Kai, Cia and also his.

“Eh, let me kak.” Feeling bad because the plate used to be cleaned up prospective sister-in-law, making Kai rushed to stand up, about to help.

“Ndak what, let me!" Faza smiled, handing Meysa dirty dishes and glasses.

Kai really felt bad, he sat back down with baby Gia who was in his lap. Hearing Ciara's babble who was inviting her sister to chat.

Faza looked like he wanted to say something to Meysa, but before that he turned to the dining table. Make sure the person who will be the main topic in the story will not hear.

“Don't be angry for a long time, quickly forgive him, later you're sorry! Time off is only a week." Faza whispered to Meysa who was focusing on washing dishes.

“Let's go home!"

Meysa who understood the intention, turned to Kai who had finished breakfast but was still playing with Cia while holding Gia who was entrusted by Eka who had just started breakfast.

Kai's charm when with a small child managed to make his chest rumble. He is always amazed whenever he sees Kai's interaction with a small child, what else this time with his own bangs.

Meysa's memory was sightseeing one afternoon where her relationship with Kai was still warm-warm. Kai's at his brother's house, Albi. They make a video call while Kai is guarding his puppet, Azka. He was amazed to see his father taking care of the baby.

'So miss Azka' Meysa muttered 'Sure his brother Kai's son was grown, maybe 2 years more.' Meysa tried to guess.

Memories of that time were so sweet. So anxious, sometimes they plan everything beyond reason and beyond reason. Not married but planning everything that will be done when together later is not a natural thing?

As with most couples, Kai and Meysa had arranged a life plan together in such a way. Designing a dream for their little family.

“Let's have a kid, I want his first boy."

“If I want a girl, I want to give you the name of the Moon if the Star guy."

They were both happily chuckling over plans for the future.

“But the good thing is that the first kid is a guy, so I can take care of him later." Kai gave a suggestion.

“Kan no Azka, she's a bloke.”

“Different, will not be our child. I mean the kids we're splitting up from." Meysa chuckles at Kai's words.

Those moments were full of happiness. But everything changed for Kai. He was even more upset when he remembered that. Meysa's dream of being together is still as big as the universe, but a speck of pain Kai gave has ruined everything.

Meysa was flabbergasted after her memories stopped sightseeing. He turned to Faza, astonished to see the change in the attitude of the older brother. It used to be a ban on courtship but now it is in favor of hard. It was like Rena who became the shipper of Wahid's number between him and Erza.

“If we get better, keep going, is it allowed?"

“Allowed, Kai people are good children! Not terse-menye, brave and seems also responsible."

“Erza is also kind and responsible."

“You want Erza?"

Faza's question made Meysa speechless. The whispering event in between his busy washing dishes made his mind wander.

Erza's good, but because Mamak Erza's mouth is like a level 15 bon chili, spicy grimy. She dislikes her unemployed son-in-law, Meysa, who is lazy to have a toxic relationship. It will be useless if only he and Erza are in love, is not the marriage relationship unite two families, it will be very torturous if only they are united, while other families do not like and reject it. Moreover, what Meysa expected was indeed not Erza, but Kai, Kai'ulani whose arrival was even ignored was still the throne holder in the kingdom of his heart.

“Ah, stop. Brother wants to go to work, solve your problems. If there is still a sense of defense, do not be sorry!" faza's sweat, it started to pass.

“Job first yes, Kai. We'll talk again." Faza dropped Ciara down and put on the school bag, then grabbed Giara from Kai's sling.

“Ready, later on." Kai stood up, wanted to take the prospective sister-in-law out, but was prevented.

Faza said he did not need to deliver, just talk to Meysa. Faza gave the confidence to speak because at home there were not only them, but also there was Rena. Definitely safe.

“Chat, finish what's not done. Brother trust you at home, there's Rena." Faza who had almost exited the kitchen door of Kai and Meysa's daughter-in-law alternately. The Moon and the human star both turned to him.

“If there is a demon, it means it's Rena. Because the third one among the two is a demon!" Kai held back a laugh realizing his early-morning jokes were not met with laughter.

Only Kai, his future sister-in-law smiled awkwardly, revealing her teeth. He was confused to hear the words of the prospective sister-in-law who seemed to know the problem between him and Meysa. It turned out that Kai thought of something else. While Faza even thought that Kai's smile was a form of appreciation for his crisp jokes.

“We go first. Assalamualaikum."

“Waalaikumsalam." Two men of God who still want each other answered simultaneously.
