107. Honestly Want to Forget

Galih and Kirana had just arrived at their home. When he got there Amira was already greeted with a balloon in hand she welcomed the arrival of her new sister.

"Adek Tiar welcome," his cry made the comfortable Tiar in Kirana's sling cry in shock.

Kirana immediately panicked as Tiar suddenly roared. He did not stare right left directly away from the crowd making Amira instantly moody. Mama Hasna saw a gloomy Amira immediately approaching her and persuaded her with a packet of chocolate while the others were currently focusing on Bachtiar who was still crying.

Kirana takes him into the room with Mama Cecil and Mommy Ratna. The two Tiar grandmothers helped Kirana and accompanied her inside the room while the others chatted outside.

"Adek surprised huh? Sorry, sister ngagetin adek. Brother does not know that adek easily shocked," said Kirana while stroking the head of Tiar whose crown still feels tender when touched.

By nightfall Kirana intends to change Tiar's clothes with warmer clothes and cover him with a baby blanket with a picture of a spacecraft given by Papa Galih.

Kirana continues singing and invites Tiar to chat while changing her clothes and that's when Mama Hasna enters the room and helps Kirana put on a clean dress for Tiar.

Kirana was putting her son's dirty clothes in the bucket when she found Tiar wrapped in a blanket so tightly. Kirana tries to let go and asks Mama not to force Tiar's legs to go straight.

"Ma don't" Kirana said.

"Eh, that's not it. Later your child's legs can not be straight if not cleaned," said Mama Hasna.

"Ma please don't have the heart I see Mama pity Tiar if his legs are forced straight," said Kirana again trying to bond.

"Ki, your baby must also be trained not to be spoiled, later until the magnitude he spoiled you know. From the time of the ancestors always this way all the babies are healthy. Amira used to be Mama Giniin and there were no problems" Mama said again.

Galih was just about to enter the room when she heard the debate between Kirana and her former in-laws. Galih stepped in and he was forced to say, "Tante, sorry I didn't mean to expel, I had to talk to Kirana about something. If you don't mind Aunty, you can go out for a minute" said Galih.

"You want to talk to both, right? Here let Tiar be with grandma, let you guys freely want to talk," said Mama Bang Raihan.

"No Ma, Tiar wants Kirana to go to bed. It's almost 8 p.m.," Kirana said.

"Yes here Mama helped put her to bed" said Mama again.

"No Ma, no papa. All of you want me a donkey I am also sleepy," said Kirana.

Finally, Mama was silent. He then stepped out of the room and before long Galih closed the door. He first reached for sarongs and prayer rugs to perform prayer.

During the prayer, Galih faintly heard something sobbing not far from him. He also heard the roaring voice of the wife who tried to pet Tiar who came back crying. As soon as he finished, it was not until he removed the scabbard that he immediately approached his wife and hugged her. Tiar was still in Kirana's arms but the boy had already started to fall asleep. Galih asks Tiar from his mother's embrace and puts him into a baby box.

“Mama...,” call Galih who is now sitting in front of Kirana who is still crying.

“I why so crybaby yes,” said Kirana while smiling while her tears just kept flowing.

“Pa, honestly just this time I feel disturbed by the presence of someone. I should have thanked him. He still wants to love me and still want to accept my presence after Bang Raihan's death but why I even refused the presence of Mama,” said Kirana.

“Ki, I understand that because I actually feel the same way as you. Right now your instincts as a mother are overflowing and seeing how Mama's attitude towards Amira and Tiar makes aa also feel one thing the same as you. Aa is afraid that Mama will one day ask Amira or even you from my arms,” said Galih.

“No will a, I will always be with you. I'm not leaving you. I'm your wife, wherever you go that's where I have to stay. Bang Raihan is just the past and as Dad once said, the past is only to be remembered not to be repeated. I myself am even uncomfortable if I have to keep remembering about Bang Raihan,” complained Kirana.

“Aa will not be evasive, Bang Raihan was once your favorite and Bang Raihan was once the focus of your life. You let go of Bang Raihan also not in a good way. That's why I never asked you to forget it. He is also the father of Amira,” said Galih.

“Bang Raihan is the only person I really don't want to remember a. Honestly my heart hurts every time I see his picture or even if anyone says his name.”

“If you are indeed uncomfortable with the existence of Mama Bang Raihan aa can ask Mama not to come,” said Galih.

“Mama's a stubborn person, no matter how much aa reject his presence, Mama will still come,” said Kirana.

“What better I not here while yes a,” ask Kirana.

“Where do you want to go? At Papa's house? Or at Lucy's tea house?” ask Galih.

“At Mother's Father's house,” says Kirana.

Galih looks worried. Shortly after, he nodded and walked out of his room. He went to look for Mr. Aji who was seen bothering Ms. Ratna in the kitchen. Galih also confirmed the whereabouts of Bang Raihan's parents before he spoke to his parents.

“Pak, Mom, can Galih say something. How do I want to take nicotine again,” said Galih.

“Well, if you have said so there must be something serious,” said Mr. Aji who has not been sensitive to the situation and spoke loudly at this time.

Ms Ratna next to him took the time to pinch her husband's waist before he replied to the son, “take her to Mom's place. Coincidentally, I became easy to take care of Kirana with children,” said Ibu.

Galih smiled, “Still ma'am, I'll find the timing first. Sorry Mom, not that I meant to be evil you know,” said Galih.

“Choven wis rapopo. The sad Kirana continues so that pity Tiar. It's not smooth, his heart so follow restless anyway,” said Mother.

Galih nodded his head assenting then asking permission to return to his room, “Bapak equals Mommy so nginep right?”

“Yes, wis let mom take care of it. There you slept with Kirana. It has been a long time since you have not been kelon. Later you also want to kelon,” said the Father with a rather naughty expression.

“Mas Tama...!” said Bu Ratna who felt greget finally hit her own husband's mouth.
