69. Treating Longing

Hearing Nino speak made both of her parents turn their heads in the same direction.

"Your habit is Nino, nguping the talk of parents," protested the father.

"Yes this time I'm ngupingnya there is a benefit, if I get home if Shaka I'm surprised and keep asking why he moved house surely they will be sad, right?"

"Yes too, yes" said Nimas' father slowly.

After that they returned to the room to prepare for Nimas' return.

Being a new parent, of course, is a surprising thing for Shaka and Nimas. Hours of sleep and rest are messy, do not have time for yourself, and lack of rest makes their lifestyle becomes irregular. Moreover, Bryan who every night always awake in the middle of the night makes the two become less rest.

However, the two new parents never complained about this situation. They do their best for the child. What's more there is Nimas' mother who helps Nimas do homework and babysit the grandson during the day so that Nimas can take a nap even if only for a moment.

Shaka enjoys his role as Dad. Even the man learned to take care of the child from small and basic things such as bathing, changing diapers, and calming his child while crying. He did it all to be a good father.

At the age of Bryan who had entered the age of one month, finally Nimas mother returned home. The couple can take good care of their children without him.

"Mom and Dad will often come here later, do not hesitate to contact us if you need help, yes," said Ms. Nimas was ready to take an online taxi. She was returned home by her husband.

"Thank you for this one month, ma'am. Mom taught us a lot of things so patiently that we could take good care of Bryan" Shaka said.

"It's our job as parents."

Their meeting that day ended there. Shaka and Nimas escorted their parents away with warm smiles.

If Shaka and Nimas are enjoying a happy period despite being tiring, different from both parents. Mr. Malik also felt tired, but tired differently. The more days the body of the man who was no longer young was getting thinner. Not only was his body tired, he also felt his mind tired from feeling lonely and missing his son.

Ms. Marissa had stopped nagging, longing for worry in the child she was now starting to feel deeper and could not be revealed with words let alone scolding. He is now more silent and daydreaming when he is alone.

Although Ms. Marissa knew the situation of her son, the woman still thought about Shaka who was why as if she could live without him. The more Shaka lives, the more Miss Marissa loses.

"Pa, let's go get Shaka, yuk! Mama knows where she lives now. He lives a simple life, Pa. He even works as an online taxi driver. He once bought a motorcycle for a job, and sold it again when Nimas gave birth. Poor Shaka, Pa," complained Miss Marissa one night. They were both sitting in their room.

"No! Papa won't accept Shaka in this house if he doesn't come alone and apologize in front of Papa. He was lacking because of himself. He's the one who wanted to leave the house because of that woman, right? Why do we come and ask for it back. Don't dream!" Mr. Malik threw himself behind his very wife. Covering her body with a blanket and closing her eyes.

There is no reason, Mr. Malik does not pay attention to the speech of the wife. Although in his heart he also misses the figure of a child who used to be more obedient than Bryan, the selfishness he had was apparently much greater than his feelings.

Ms. Marissa finally lies down, staring at the ceiling of the room which inexplicably seems to be mocking her because her fragile self is inedible longing.

Until finally, it came to mind to meet his son and ask for his return. Lowering his ego a little for the sake of his own mental health didn't seem like a big deal, he thought.

And the thought that had just crossed that night he carried out in the next week. With the driver, he went to Shaka's house.

Only silence occurred throughout the journey. The longing that was rising in his chest would soon be cured, but at the same time, he had to be willing to sacrifice his pride to be kind to his daughter-in-law.

"Hmm, Daddy's son is very fragrant, anyway. What a handsome man again, God. Lose his handsome father."

There was the sound of Shaka cradling the child. The sound was warm and comfortable to anyone who heard, including Ms. Marissa's ears. But a second later the evil side again reminded that the one being led was the son of Nimas, not the son of Shaka or Bryan. The child is not his grandson, his logic for a moment changes the taste of haru who had stopped.

Ms. Marisaa was about to arrive on the terrace when Shaka came out with a baby in her arms. Due to her focus on her baby, Shaka is unaware that her mother is standing at the end of the porch.

Mom Marissa's gaze was immediately directed at her son who had no change at all in his physical form. Precisely his son was seen to be filled and very handsome. Either the effects have not met for a long time or Nimas managed to take good care of his son.

No-no, this must be because I haven't seen each other for a long time. It's not because of Nimas, how can a woman who can't do anything take good care of my son.

Ms. Marissa's gaze went down to the baby who also looked fat. His round eyes were staring intensely at Shaka.

Bryyan. It's like Bryan.

"Geek!" Finally, Marissa let out her voice.

The one called to look up. A little stunned for a moment until he finally said Mama. For a moment they looked at each other in silence. They look at each other's eyes to find a longing that is finally avenged.

Ms. Marissa took her foot a step closer towards Shaka. Slowly his right hand was raised and cupped to the right side of the child's face. His eyes were glazed over, it felt like he had not made physical contact like this for a long time. He forgot when he last touched his son.

"Mama misses you, son. You're okay, right?" ma'am Marissa lightly stroked Shaka's cheek.

"Yes, my wife and I are fine. We're healthy. Mama how?"

Shaka knew that his mother was not well, it was visible from her thin body and her thin cheeks. No matter how much Shaka felt about his mother, his heart still hurt to see his mother's current condition.
