104. Old Man Bang Raihan

A few minutes late. Amira just sat down on the chair next to her Papa only to see her Papa fall back asleep. Amira sucked a box of chocolate milk given by the teacher this afternoon while waiting for Papa Adnan to wake up from his sleep that looks sound. Amira waited while shaking her legs that did not tread the ground while learning to count exactly as she had learned while continuing to suck her milk.

Aksara had just come, with a sleepy face like she normally would step in for the absence of presence. He almost jumped in shock as he saw a small figure sitting on the chair with a big smile on his face.

“Astagfirullah tak kiro tuyul..,” murmur Aksara.

“Om Same script,” says Amira.

“Ha?”

“Om Aksara same Papa Adnan same, Amira time beautiful this is spelled out tuyul anyway,” protest Amira with a muddy face, inflated cheeks and lips that are sweet.

“Sorry to be a big brother, I'm surprised. Reflek om said that,” said Aksara while looking down so that his height could be equivalent to Amira.

“Om, wake up Papa dong,” says Amira.

A character who felt asked to awaken a mischievous smile. He grabbed the toa located on Adnan's desk then pressed one of his red buttons. Just then also the sound of sirens filled the room, echoing throughout the hallway. Adnan who heard the siren next to his ear immediately woke up and excited to wear back his shoes.

Aksara and Amira laughed triumphantly because they saw the behavior of Adnan who was shocked not dumbstruck. Aksara invited Amira tos and the little one with a smile that showed a row of milk teeth returned the tos.

Adnan who heard Amira's laughter did not get angry. Instead he laughed then grabbed Amira's bongsor body and lifted her up high. Amira then laughed at it. The girl's body floated over her Papa as Adnan again plopped down on the sofa and placed Amira on her bent legs upwards.

“Yee~ Ami fly...,” said.

In the past when Amira was a child, Adnan often invited Amira to play in this way. Either flying Amira with both hands alone or with his feet.Amira obviously really likes this play activity.

“Papa let's eat dong,” invite Amira.

“All go to the hospital aja yuk. We eat together Papa Galih with Mama Kirana,” take Adnan directly embraced by Amira.

Adnan unhesitatingly grabbed Amira's bag and then held it while his left hand started holding Amira. The two did not forget to say goodbye to Aksa who was still in the dark because it was the first time they saw his senior who was playing with a small child. It's a stark contrast to how Adnan Dzaki usually looks.

“Bang, tell Kirana I'm the same Kaori would like to visit in the afternoon,” said Aksara who just remembered the reason she came here. He is asked by his wife to ask Kirana's current condition but because Amira's whereabouts and events just now make him forget.

“Have a daughter like cool,” murmured while reaching for her phone to contact the wife.

...***...

Until Amira and Adnan reach the hospital, Kirana has not yet woken up from her sleep. Looks like Arsa's galih wife is exhausted after tens of hours of pain. Galih always tried to move as slow as he could so that his wife would not wake up. Galih tries to wipe Kirana's body with a warm towel so she feels fresher then goes back to the bathroom to rinse the towel.

Hix….

“Hnggg...., huaaaa....!!!!”

Amira's cry just broke. Galih who was currently in the bathroom immediately ran out and carried Amira just like that. He takes her out and away from Kirana for fear that her sweet child will wake her up.

“Shtt..., have not cried Amira,” said Galih who continues to hold Amira. His right hand patted Amira's back who was still crying from shock.

“Papa, hiks..., Mama... why? Mom, hiks...., no. ba.... ngun?” the tanya still sobbing.

“No papa, Mama is fine. Mama's just sleeping. Udah ya do not cry, Amira has become a big brother, promise the same Papa Amira will be a cool sister, a good brother help Papa take care of the same Mama, Mama,” said Galih this time confronting Amira to him.

“Udah crynya, her beautiful face is gone tuh. We meet the deck Tiar yes, yuk the same Papa we meet Dek Tiar out that we find food for all of us,” invite Galih who is so attentive to his daughter.

Galih smiled as Amira nodded but again drowned her head in the arms of her father. Galih has no intention of taking down Amira. He still carried her and led her to a room with glass walls. Inside there lined baby boxes neatly arranged. Some are filled and some are left just covered in plastic. There are also on the other hand some incubators where in one of them lies a baby Tiar who is still weak and so small.

“Tuh adekmu Mi,” said Galih while pointing to a baby boy with his name and his wife written under the incubator.

“Dek Tiar..., what's in the jar of Pa? How can you not like the others?” ask Amira.

“Soalya Dek Tiar is still small, so Dek Tiar is inserted in the tube. Later if Dek Tiar is stronger will also be issued,” said Galih.

“Sama kayak you used to also put in the tube Mi,” said a voice heard from behind.

“Eh aunt,” greet Galih as soon as see both parents Raihan come.

“Don't call aunt ah not very good. Call Papa Mama aja,” said Papa.

“By the way congratulations yes,” said Papa and Mama on Galih and Amira.

Together they return to Kirana's room. What Galih was going to go buy lunch, apparently the two Galih parents did not come empty-handed. The two brought a large lunchbox containing various vegetables and side dishes for them to eat together.

Along his way to Kirana's room, Galih kept trying to melt the atmosphere. Whether this was because of his heart alone or that was the case, Galih did not understand either. What is clear is that she feels uncomfortable when the parents of Kirana's ex-husband suddenly always come and meet Kirana and Amira. But Galih is only able to harbor his feelings because he himself also understands how a mother feels especially, left behind by his proud son and now his favorite son-in-law is married to another man.

Galih tries to suppress his own feelings by assuming that the parents of Bang Raihan are just trying to entertain themselves by chatting with Amira and Kirana who are the remnants of his memories of the son of Raihan Dhananjaya.
