After three days in the care of Adel finally returned home. Adel was greatly comforted by the presence of his son. He slightly forgot the sadness left by Mika.
Now her son is entering his second week. The child's face is very similar to Mika and little Michael said Mother.
Adel gave his son the name SEBASTIAN RENDRA SACHDEF which means an honest and smart boy who has a noble nature.
Adel calls his son with RENDRA.
Not only Adel who was happy with the presence of Mika junior, but also mother and Michael.
Michael held Rendra in the house to sunbathe. Mother is cooking and Adel is bathing.
Daffa who was going to the campus saw Michael holding Rendra stopped his car.
"Rendra handsome om. what are you doing" said Daffa approaching Michael
"Blood sunbathing with daddy. "say Michael. Michael did ask Rendra to call him daddy.
Daffa was less than happy to hear Michael call himself daddy. But he could not express his dislike.
Adel who just finished bathing by tying her hair pincers looked very beautiful this morning.
"There's Daffa, go to campus" said Adel.
"Yes.. Del. I just saw Rendra sunbathing, so pep kissed her. Your son is handsome"
"Whose son he was. his son Mika papa. "said Adel.
"The daughter of father Michael too. "said Michael made Daffa look at him cynically.
"Why don't you take it. You see it. His face is similar to mine"
"Yes, it is clear that Lu is his father's twin "
"the food.. Rendra's my son, Mika's blood is the same as mine.. "
"Already ah.. Rendra's son mama Adel "takes Adel and takes Rendra from Michael's sling.
"You've had Del's breakfast. Breakfast first, let Rendra I carry.. "
"You have breakfast first, you must be tired of carrying Rendra. I drank milk... "
"Rendra handsome om. want to buy what else.want toys yes." said Daffa close his face to the face of Rendra who was held by Adel.
Michael looked cynically...
"Based on men. There is already a fiancee still approached other women.. "
"You didn't go to Daffa school" Michael said.
"Awhile more.. "
"Later you are late Daf. play with Rendra can still look forward to "said Adel.
"If you had spoken that way, I would not have been able to argue anymore... "
"You could have gone there later. Rendra doesn't want to be your reason for being late"
"Da... Rendra. I'll see you later. um college first yes.. Hold on again for graduation. Rendra must be accompanied by om later if graduation yes.. "
"Masa Rendra is accompanied. Later Citra can be angry. "said Adel.
"What's wrong. Aunty Citra will not be angry. Oh, yes first.. "
After Daffa left, Adel took Rendra in and put her in the swing in the family room while watching television.
"You have breakfast there with Michael. let your mother take care of Rendra. "say Mother saw Adel watching television.
"But I'm not hungry yet.. "
"You have to eat a lot. let the breast milk smoothly. "said mother again. Mother had deliberately asked Adel to often accompany Michael so that they were more familiar. Because Adel still looks awkward with Michael.
Because the mother continued to force Adel finally breakfast with Michael. He sat opposite Michael.
"You're even more beautiful after giving birth"
"Morning is already raging" said Adel
"Ha. ha. I'm not flirting, but you were beautiful this morning" Michael laughed.
"Beauty is also.if not beautiful where would want my twin. because I'm sure the choice must be the same as me "
Hearing Michael Adel's words raised his head to look at Michael's face intensely.
"Why look at it so. later so like loh"
"Geer.. "
"I'm glad to see you like this. Cheerfully. As long as I'm here, only your moody face is often seen"
Mother who heard the chat between Michael and Adel became happy. Because he wants Michael to be the replacement for Mika.
"I hope Adel will accept Michael as Mika's replacement. Because I don't want to part with Adel and my granddaughter if she has to marry another man. I also know Michael likes Adel.. "
After he finished eating Adel wanted to wash the dishes, but his hand was held by Michael.
"Let me wash.You don't move and work for two months after giving birth. That's what I heard and read" Michael said still holding Adel's hand
Adel looked at Michael.. Tears fell from the corner of her eyes.
"Adel"
"Mic.. "
Michael immediately took Adel into his arms. He rubbed Adel's back to calm Adel's sobs.
"Don't cry anymore Del. I'll be ready to be your leaning place in place of Mika."
Adel was still sobbing in Michael's arms. Mother saw him when he was going to take water.
"I hope you will quickly forget Mika.. Del. Not that you don't love Mika. But this life must go on, you can't live forever with Mika's memories. Because you are young, your path is long. And hopefully the place where your heart will dock will be Michael, because you will be calmer if you are with Michael"
Adel let go of his embrace and sat back down.
"Sorry.. Michael. I didn't want to be around you all this time because I was afraid that I'd miss Mika even more. Because by looking at you, it's like seeing Mika come back to life. I saw Mika's shadow on you. "the spirit of Adel.
"I don't mind if you think of me as Mika, because we're twins too"
"Michael. how can I forget Mika. if I see you I always remember Mika"
"I never ask you to forget Mika, but you can't dissolve in Mika's shadow. You can remember him as the man who once lay in your heart. But you must not close your heart to the presence of others"
"Let's see Mic. I'm not sure I can forget Mika. and replace it in my heart"
"You heard good yes.I will try to fill your heart.but not ask you to forget Mika. Honestly, I've liked you from the first time I saw you. I'm not asking you to answer now. Let everything go. Until you feel comfortable with me, you answer. Whether I can replace Mika to accompany you, or I remain only as your sister-in-law.. "
"Michael. I am only a widow, you know that. You can get more women than me.. "
"But I only want you... "
"Give me some time... "
"Sure.but you don't shy away from me. How can you be comfortable if there is me. You always avoid it"
Adel nodded his head in agreement.
'Thank you Adel for giving me a chance.. "
Adel stood to coincide with Mika as well who wanted to stand up so that their foreheads clashed.
"Sick yes. "said Michael rubbed Adel's forehead.
"No. I want to see Rendra. afraid he wants to thirst nyusu"
"Hhmmm.. I also want to finish washing dishes. ..." Michael said nervously.
Adel leaves Michael, heading to the living room where Rendra and the mother are.
