Carmila Love Reunion

Titipan Bunda Rita

Akbar drives his car to his former in-laws' house to pick up Maxwell. The child cried and asked to be picked up by his Daddy, but Akbar and Mila had intended to pick him up after delivering Mother Rita to take a bus that would take him back to the orphanage.

His car stopped right in front of the house he was heading to, immediately Akbar got out of the car and went straight to the door of the house, pressing the bell on the left side of the door, Akbar immediately got out of the car and went straight to the door, no matter how long someone opened the door for him.

"Master!" greet the house maid's aunt. "Please Mr, Mr and Mrs are waiting" he said, opening the door wide.

"Thank you Bi". Then step into the house. Akbar walked in the footsteps of Aunt who led him to the dining table. There the two old men were persuading Maxwell to eat, while Maxwell cried and shook his head.

"I want Daddy!" yelled the boy.

Akbar shook his head with a faint smile on his lips, approaching those at the dining table.

"Maxwell" said. The three men looked at him.

"Daddy!" maxwell shouted and ran towards him. Akbar caught it and lifted the small body.

"Why crying? You can't bother Grandma and Grandpa like this" she said gently as she tidied Maxwell's hair.

"Why Daddy is so long, Maxwell doesn't like it here" Maxwell replied with a frown.

The two old men laughed at Maxwell's words. They both moved from their seats.

"Actually from yesterday he had asked to go home, but because he still wanted to be with him, we continued to persuade him and promised to take him home soon, this morning he cried continuously". Mama Rania said as she stroked her grandson's hair. "He loves you very much Akbar" he continued. "Thank you for taking good care of our granddaughter, even though she's not your biological child, but you've been a great father to her".

"Don't say that Auntie, since Maxwell was born, he's already my son, I'll take good care of my son" Akbar replied slightly annoyed by his former father-in-law's remarks. "Please! never say anything like that again, let alone in front of Maxwell" he said firmly.

"Alright, we believe you will definitely take good care of Maxwell, but "doubt his words. "But what about your wife, can she accept and love Maxwell the way you love her ?"

"Maa" reprimanded her husband when she saw the look on Akbar's face that immediately changed after hearing his wife's words. "Akbar, sorry, we were too worried about Maxwell" he continued with a stiff smile.

"Daddy, I want to play with Mommy" Maxwell said suddenly. Akbar smiled.

"After this we meet Mother yes" replied Akbar.

"really? Is Mommy coming home?" ask him with glee.

"Mother now lives in our house"

"Asyikkk" cried Maxwell happily.

The two old men looked at each other, trying to find out what Mother Maxwell and Akbar meant.

"Tante and Uncle don't have to worry, Mila loves Maxwell very much, so do Maxwell, they both love each other" Akbar replied and forced a smile on his lips. "Did Maxwell like Mother Mila?"

Maxwell nodded his head.

"Look, there's nothing you need to worry about, Maxwell and Mila were close even before we got married" looked at the two old men.

"Hahahaha, thank God that they have such a relationship" laughed but clearly his face did not like that fact.

"Then Akbar said to Auntie, Uncle" said Akbar and left those who were still standing in his place.

"Pa, we have to send Rania home and take Maxwell from Akbar" Mama Rania said after Akbar left them.

"What's Ma for ? Let Rania pursue her dream, Maxwell will also be happy with Akbar and Mila" her husband replied as he walked over the dinner shirt and gulped down the water on the table.

"Pa, Maxwell is our granddaughter, I don't want her to be raised by a woman whose origins aren't clear, Mila's an orphanage boy! Papa wants to let our granddaughter have a mother like her" chasing after her husband who walked away from her.

"Then what does Mama want? It was Mama who told Rania to hand Maxwell over to Akbar's family, Rania would also not be able to take care of him, and Mama herself, is it able to take care of her ?". Started to get upset with his wife.

"We can hire a baby sister to look after her"

"Ma! stop, stop! believe me Maxwell would be happier living with them". Leaving his wife in the kitchen.

"I won't let my granddaughter be cared for by that woman" she murmured after her husband's departure. "An orphanage girl? Huh that's right, I need to call Rania".

The bus that will take Mother Rita is almost gone, the passengers have started boarding the bus.

"Mother, wait another five minutes, Akbar will be there". Mila tried to hold off Mother Rita who was about to board the bus.

"But sister, the bus is ready to go, Mommy can be left if you don't ride now" replied Mona to see the bus driver who started the engine.

"It's okay, we'll wait another five minutes". Mother Rita held back her steps who were about to board the bus.

Not long after, a car stopped right in front of them. Akbar got out of the car and held Maxwell. They approached the three women.

"Sorry Mother, we are late" he said with regret.

Mother Rita smiled as she shook her head. "Mother is still here, you are not moored" replied the Mother as she pinched Maxwell's cheek. The one who was pinched even laughed. Mila took over Maxwell from Akbar. "Akbar, Mother tipped the two daughters of Mother, please take good care of them" he said while rubbing Akbar's shoulder.

"Yes Mother, Akbar promised to look after them".

"Please promise Mommy that you will never leave Mila again, no matter how you are with her"

"Mother". Sela Mila with tears that began to fade. He took Maxwell down from his carrier and walked up to Mother Rita, grabbed the hand of Mother Rita and held her.

"I promise Mommy, I will always be by her side no matter what, and I will also always love" Akbar continued while looking at Mila. "Mila is my life, and we will live happily together" smiled and grabbed Mila's hand.

"Mother Mona's tipped off too, you can scold her if she's naughty". He laughed, but his tears began to fall in both corners of his eyes.

"Mother, believe me Akbar will definitely take good care of them" dried the tears of Mother Rita and hugged her. "Mother don't worry, Akbar will take care of them" he repeated. Alternately Mona and Mila also hugged Mother Rita.

After the sound of the horn a few times, Mother Rita stepped and boarded the bus. They stared at the bus as they waved their hands.

After the bus carrying Rita disappeared, Akbar invited them to enter the car and brought them back home.

Arriving at home, all Mona and Mila's belongings when he was signed were already at Akbar's house. Some people seem busy moving and arranging it into the house.

"This is all our stuff, sister" Mona said as she followed Mila's steps.

"Because you're here too" he replied casually. "Mona, your room is next to the guest room, if there are less or do not like to tell them" while pointing at the room with a pink paint door.

"My room" Mona exclaimed and ran straight to the room in question.

Mila looked at him with squinting eyes, but Akbar instead smiled and shrugged his shoulders, then climbed the stairs to his room. Mila followed him along with Maxwell.

Nando sat down while occasionally looking at the direction of the entrance, confirming the arrival of his later figure. Nando repeatedly improved his appearance, tidying up his hair, clothes, and all that was attached to his body. Tonight was a very precious moment for him, he wanted everything he planned to go smoothly.

Time continued to run, but the Nayra he was waiting for had not yet appeared, Nando glanced at his watch, already past fifteen minutes of the time they agreed.

"Why hasn't he come yet?" muttered. "Ahhh I should have picked him up earlier, so stupid I even asked him to come here himself" began to blame himself. "Didn't he come?" start guessing. "But impossible, Nayra must have come" trying to convince herself.

Nando grew impatient, he started to move from his seat, but as soon as he turned around, Nayra was at the entrance and walked towards him. The girl came in a very different appearance to her appearance all along, with her mini dress, hair in the booth and with thin makeup making her look very graceful, she walked over with a wide smile on Nando, she said, he approached Nando who stood looking at him.

"I'm sorry, I'm late" he said as he reached Nando.

Nando did not say, nor did his eyes blink to look at Nayra.

"Nando" as he waved his hand at Nando's face. "Nando!" he began to raise his voice.

"Ahh" gasped in surprise. "Oh, Nay, you've come" he said clumsily. "Let's sit down" pulled a chair for Nayra.

Nayra complied, and now they sit facing each other.

"Have you waited long?"

"No, it's just that I can't wait to see you soon" replied Nando who made Nayra's face instantly red. "What do you want to eat?" while calling a servant who served there.

Nayra opened the menu that the waiter offered, flipped through it and made her choice on banana pancakes. The waiter recorded his order and left them.

"You don't eat?" tanya Nayra saw Nando who only ordered drinks. Nando.

"I just found out that there is a cafe here" said Nayra while surrounding the Cafe with his view. "Why is there only us ?" realizing that all the tables were empty, the only desks they inhabited were only the tables they currently occupied. "Nando, did you purposely book this entire cafe?" looking at Nando suspiciously. Nando just smiled in response.

Not long after their order arrived, a different waiter came to serve the order.

"Come, you eat first" Nando asked.

Nayra ate her food greedily, because after work she did not have time to eat, so at home she immediately prepared to be able to perform like tonight.

Finished with his meal, he gulped down the same drink as Nando's.

Nando took a sip of his drink, then put the glass back in its original place.

"What about the food, do you like it?"

"Enak, I like it" he replied and went back around the entire cafe with his gaze. "That's right, we were both guests at this cafe" whispered Nayra. "Say, you're not looking for the whole cafe, are you?".

"Rather precisely closing for another guest, tonight not receiving another guest" Nando replied still casually.

"Huh? closing for other guests ?" with his forehead wrinkled trying to digest the contents of Nando's speech.

"Nay this cafe is mine, I don't accept any other guests tonight because I just want to be with you"

"Why?" nayra asked with an irregular heartbeat. Nando's eyes that kept staring at him made him even more unable to breathe.

"Because there's something I want to say" Nando replied without letting Nayra out of his sight.

Nayra took a deep breath and threw it away slowly, trying to stay alive in order to hear what Nando was going to say.

"Nay" started grabbing Nayra's hand on the table. "Maybe this is too sudden, but I don't want to lose quickly with others, I want to be the first, I.." started to forget the sentence he had memorized from yesterday. "I." Nayra's gaze made her forget what she was supposed to say.

"What do you really want to talk about". Nayra started to pull her hand, but Nando held her back.

"Nay, marry me" she said, closing her eyes, not daring to see Nayra's reaction.

For a long time they were silent, until Nando finally ventured to open his eyes. Nayra silently did not give any answer, the girl just stared at him.

"Nay, why are you silent, shouldn't you say something" while releasing Nayra's hand from her grasp. "I gathered a lot of courage to be able to say this, so please say something, do you want to marry me? " said lirih.

Nayra took a deep breath again.

"Well if you want to hear my answer"

"You'll answer" began to smile. "But you're not going to reject me, are you?" panicked himself with an answer that had not even come out of Nayra's mouth. "If you refuse me, you better not say it now, it would be a shame, I'm not ready for it" he lamented.

"What do you want anyway?" with a furious punch Nando's head.

"Gosh, my head" Nando groaned as he touched his head.

"If you don't want to hear me go home" threatened Nayra.

"No Nay, please don't go home yet" held back Nayra who wanted to move on. "All right, I'll listen to it, whatever it is"

Silent for a moment, Nayra looked at Nando who lowered her head.

"I don't want to marry you" Nayra replied firmly. Nando who heard it immediately limp in his chair. "But." deliberately hangs his sentence. Nando started to raise his face. "But I will change my mind if the visitors who come to this cafe reach 100 people every day for the next week".

"Nay, didn't I hear wrong?" as if he could not believe what he had just heard. Nayra shook her head. "Does that mean I have a chance ?" continued with a glowing face.

Nayra nodded.

"We will both try to make it happen" continued Nayra.

"I will try my best" Nando replied with vigor.
