CHARM GIRL WITH HAZEL EYES

CHAPTER 9. LITTLE RAISSA

"Kayraa," Umi splashes into Kayra's arms, hugging the girl tightly. Her tears trickled down looking at the girl she already considered to be her own daughter. "Why did Kay come here?" ask umi. The sound of the umi that was not slow also made Abah who was on the second floor then went down.

"New ko looks to kiddo?" ask Abah. Abah did the same thing with his wife. "Here sit down first" said Abah. He asked Kayra to sit in the middle of them.

"Is it healthy?" ask Kayra. She also could not hold back her tears. Seeing two figures so good to him and to his family.

Abah nodded his head, patting Kayra on the shoulder slowly. "Where are you?" ask Abah. Highlighting her worried eyes, three months since Kayra and Iqbal married, the girl had not visited the residence of Acha's parents at all. "Why hasn't Kay been playing here for so long? Look, Raissa has grown so big" he said again. Abah's hand waved softly, hinting at the nun who had been babysitting Raissa since four months ago to get closer.

Abah accepts Rissa, lulls her to sleep in her sturdy arm. "You want to carry Kay?" ask abah.

Without needing to be asked twice, Kayra took over Raissa from Abah's hands. Carrying her, as if she was used to holding a baby.

"Raissa must have been grinning in her sling with her mother" said Umi, her hand stroking Raissa's black hair.

"Mother?"

Umi smiled, nodding lightly to Kayra's question. "Yes" answered Umi. "Said Acha, he has introduced Raissa to you since the womb. Acha himself has taught Raissa to call you Mother, he said,"

"He's the same story Umi?" ask Kayra.

"Yes Kay," Umi hugged Kayra's shoulder. His gaze this time was on Iqbal who only paid attention to the interaction of the three of them without giving any comment. "You still think Umi, Abah and your family don't agree with the marriage of the two of you, it's a big mistake. You all agree with Acha's choice. Acha has made a good decision, he left Raissa to someone who has been very clear to take care of and educate her well. Acha will learn many things from you, so Raissa will also understand many things from you,"

"So Umii same Abah know if Acha mate I same sir Iqbal?" ask Kayra.

Abah and Umi shook their heads. "No idea Kay, none of us know that,"

"Already have. Obviously, our relationship is good again. Kayra already wants to play in this house again, and the question Kayra wants to ask before has also been answered right?" ask Abah.

Kayra nodded small. "It's the bah" replied the girl slowly.

And now that his gaze was focused on the beautiful baby who had already opened his eyes, his hazel-colored eyes of little Raissa were very similar to his Raissanya. His nose, his wiggle book, his thick eyebrows, the color of his skin and even the iris of his eyes are very similar to Acha. Totally duplicate of Acha. Unlike her hazel eyes, little Raissa has light brown eyes, which are more beautiful when exposed to light.

"According to the message from Acha, who wants her daughter to be cared for by her husband and also her best friend. So today also Raissa will come with you" said Abah.

Kayra widened her eyeballs, just as she was determined to bring Raissa home with her. "Totally bah?" kayra asked, reassuring once more if she didn't hear wrong.

"Yes, dong" replied Umi. "But even so you're also obliged to play here,"

Kayra nodded confidently. "Surely mi," replied the girl. Because of her happiness with little Raissa, she was not even aware that her husband was just listening to their interactions and answering only when asked by Abah or Umi.

"But Kayra hasn't caught a baby noodle yet" Kayra said.

"Let's calm, sister Lala will come with you anyway," replied Umi making Kayra smile with relief.

"You're sure you can both be great parents" Abah said. Making Iqbal who had previously lowered his head deeply now raised his head. "Especially Kayra, you can definitely be a good connecting mother to Raissa later,"

*****

"Mashaallah, you're shaking the deck" said Kayra. Her lips kept smiling ever since she came home from Umi and Abah's house.

"The guy bit his cheek" Kayra said. He didn't realize that someone had been watching him from behind his desk.

Iqbal. Although the young man seemed to be focusing on his laptop screen. But in fact, he continued to smile, despite the thin smile that two showed. She did not expect that Kayra would welcome her daughter with that happy look. The one thing he was so afraid of when Acha left was this.

But unexpectedly, it turns out that Acha has prepared everything. The girl had even chosen a woman who had a personality no less good than her. Although Iqbal has not been able to accept the girl who is currently wearing the navy-colored instant hijab, but she has been bound by a promise with Kayra's parents to take care of her until later she gives up.

At least for now he is still trying. When the time comes he feels he has not accepted Kayra and will only end up hurting the girl, then he will be forced to return Kayra to his parents. As per their request a few months ago.

Iqbal closed his laptop, the young man walked slowly towards the bed where Kayra and Raissa were. "Why don't you sleep Kay?" ask Iqbal.

"Later sir" Kayra replied without even looking at Iqbal's face.

"Udah is almost eleven o'clock Kay,"

"No papa sir, I'm not sleepy yet" replied the girl again.

I don't know if Iqbal feels Kayra is colder than ever. Because of Raissa or indeed the girl who is trying to limit interaction with him.

"Then Raissa wakes up you will have trouble sleeping again" Iqbal said.

"No papa sir, I'm also grinning,"

"Later let me change the press, you just sleep,"

"No, sir,"

"Replace Kay, you haven't rested yet either" Iqbal said. "Later you were sapped,"

Kayra raised her face. The girl frowned. "Sir Iqbal do not have to worry, if I cape I must also rest without being told. If I am sick I will not take Iqbal sir. So just calm down, do not worry about being bothered because I am sick," Kayra explained without being asked. Pasha that's not what Iqbal meant.

"That's not what I mean Kay," Iqbal said. "Mak-"

"But sir, if you want to sleep just sleep, just sleep" said Kayra.

Iqbal sighed softly. It turns out that there are also differences in the nature of Kayra and Acha that he found. Kayra turned out to be so brave, very different from Acha who was always gentle with her.

"Why?" kayra asked with irritated eyes. "You want me to be with Acha?" ask again.

"No Kay, I'm cu-,"

"Yes, it's definitely different" said Kayra, who has now refocused on Raissa's puffed cheeks. "None of us is the same other than our last name here and there the letter a and our same husband,"
