"Mas, it's been a while since I've seen it, too. You're very upset" protested Nimas who had been waiting for his son to be given to him. However, the man did not seem to understand if his wife waited.
"Bent dong, Dek. He didn't ask for any milk, he took a nap."
"But it must be given asi first, Shaka. Later you can carry as much as possible," said Ms. Nimas.
Nimas' mother approached the granddaughter who was in the arms of the son-in-law. His face looks handsome and looks like no one. Nimas's face did not decline at all in his son.
"His face looks like my sister, Mom," said Shaka who seemed to understand what was on her mother-in-law's mind.
"Oh, here I love Nimas, let's breastfeed first, yes."
Half-Shaka handed the little baby over to her mother-in-law. He finally immediately went out of the room, it was not good if he had to see Nimas who breastfed his child in front of his parents and he was there. Maybe if just the two wouldn't be a problem, so roughly if Shaka's mind was at work.
"God's love is the Mother's Son."
Mata Nimas never lost shine with Shaka earlier. She unceasingly adored and stroked the puffed cheeks, her eyes glazed with joy and still in disbelief if she managed to become a mother.
"Who do you want to name?" ask Nimas' mother.
"I'm still confused, I'm the same Mas Shaka has not even prepared a name, we're busy with your life..." Nimas immediately stopped his sentence because he realized he was almost lost about his new life.
Nimas remembers well, Shaka once said he did not want both of Nimas' parents to know about this. As much as possible he should keep his current condition a secret. He did not want if what they experienced even added to the burden of the minds of the parents of Nimas.
"What life, Nimas? Whose life?"
"No, Mom. I mean I changed my life after I got pregnant. I changed a lot because of hormones. I troubled him a little. That's all."
Nimas' mother nodded, though she was hesitant about his son's answer. He also wanted to know what his relationship was with his father-in-law. Did their relationship go badly after the birth of their granddaughter? However, if you see the current condition that does not seem at all his iron nose, make Nimas Mother hesitant to ask. He was afraid that the question he asked even made Nimas sad and thoughtful about his fate.
Not long after, Shaka appeared with a bag of crackles in his hand. There are some food packs in that crackle. He bought everyone breakfast with a simple side dish.
There was a pain in Shaka's heart when he couldn't pamper her in-laws like a few months ago. But how else? The present Shaka is not the old Shaka economically.
"Thank you, son," said Nimas' mother.
"Yes, Mom, you're the same. Sorry, yes Mom. I buy the same food as Nimas, later if I buy different, he envies why buy different."
"Yes, it's okay. This is healthy food. What do you think we eat? We are from the village, of course the food we eat is also simple like this. Do not hesitate if you give something simple to someone. Simple for you, not necessarily for the person you give. Let's eat together!" sahut Nimas's.
Nimas just stared at her husband, he knew what was said in his mouth was not the real reason. Although what Shaka said was a lie, he did not bother about it. Instead she salutes her husband, she is lucky to have Shaka in her life. Although now his life is simple, his sense of care for his family still he unites numbers.
Everyone ate with wisdom, including Nimas who enjoyed his food as someone with a new status.
"Whose name are you giving, Ka?" Nimas' mother asked.
"Muhammad Bryan Bagaskara's. It can be called Bryan."
Hearing the name called made Nimas when choking. How not? Her husband gave her son the same name as his real father.
Nimas' parents were unaware of this, as they never knew the birth father's name.
"good. What mean?"
Shaka then glanced at Nimas who was still trying to neutralize his shock. The man only showed a smile that was indecipherable to the eyes.
On the day that the sun had risen a little. Both parents Nimas permission to go home because they have to make brocohan (the Javanese tradition to welcome the birth of a baby. In my place, cook some boxed rice and then distribute it to the neighbors around).
Shaka of course offered to drive them. But the two parents refused, as they felt they could go home alone. Nimas needs Shaka more than them.
"Well, if so, I'll take it forward. I ordered a taxi online, yes. Let us calm down, too."
"We're troubling you for it."
"Of course not, Mom. I should have killed you because I brought you here."
They walked down the hallway they had just passed. Shaka was alone while tinkering with his cellphone to contact one of his friends to want to take his two in-laws home.
Not too long they waited for Shaka's friend to finally arrive at the location. Don't forget he gave the fare to his friend.
"Take to the house and make sure they enter the house safely. Otherwise, my money is pulled back" Shaka whispered to his friend.
"It's easy. It's a real onion to be a man."
They eventually separated in the hospital yard. Nimas' parents, who had seen the interaction between Shaka and the taxi driver who drove him online, left them wondering. Do they know each other because they look not like people who have just met.
"You know me, do you know my daughter-in-law?" ask Nimas' father.
"Oh, Shaka's son-in-law Father and Mother? Yes, obviously I know him, I'm his co-worker."
The answer that was thrown by the man made the two Nimas parents look at each other instantly.
"I mean a workmate?"
"Yes, I mean Shaka and I are friends in the profession. Just a few days ago, Shaka became an online taxi driver."
Taxi driver online? The shaka? What the hell's going on?

"Mas, why did you give him Bryan's name too? Doesn't that hurt? The previous owner's name is dead, does it not open long for those who know him?"
"You're hurt hearing that name?"
"It's not like that, but it's like waking up memories that shouldn't exist, I mean memories that shouldn't be remembered."
"Do you mind that name? You still love her?"
"Mas, Bryan was my first love, we parted not because of quarrels, infidelity, strife, or whatever. How could I forget that in an instant. I still love him, but I love you too, Mom. My love for you, my love for Bryan, it's different. Neither you nor your brother will remain in my heart. Your place and Bryan's place are different. But you and him are both in my life and in my heart."
"Yes, Deck. I understand what you mean. I'll never ask you to forget, completely forget Brian. You want to forget what you can never forget, because you and he have left memories. I gave that name because he was very similar to my brother. Anyway the name's not bad, Dek. Don't bother with the name while it's still a good name, it still contains a good prayer for him."
Not long after, Bryan's cry was heard. Shaka immediately took the baby and brought it to Nimas.
"You don't sprain it dong, open his face. Bryan's crying, tuh. The bond between mother and child is strong. You are sad, cry, angry, sprains, happy, Bryan will also feel. Poor dong, Deck him from inside your stomach already depressed the same situation."
