Don't Take My Son

When They Meet

At half-time Rafael just came out of the director's room with the other managers, should be at one o'clock they can go home because Saturday working hours only half a day, but because there is a sudden meeting they can only leave the hospital after the meeting is over, yes it's part of their loyalty to the company, let alone they are at the level of managers who are required to have high loyalty. Actually, things like this are common and not a problem for Rafael, he will be happy to give high loyalty to the hospital, let alone the hospital owned by his own family. But there was something different from Rafael during the Meeting this afternoon, he looked restless after the time showed at one noon, several times he saw the watch in his hand which felt so fast that the clock hand rotated. Such is usually the attitude of a person if he already has a promise whose time has passed from the appointed time.

Rafael did have an appointment to meet his son, although he did not specify what time he would see his son, he only said he would come in the afternoon. But he already has plans to buy Rakha something, either toys or food. At one o'clock he was out of the hospital he could linger to meet with Rakha, but now the time has been cut by an hour and a half, and after meeting with Rakha he will go to Jakarta to meet his parents. In his haste to the mess, he wanted to take a bath so that his body felt fresh, choose the best clothes he had, and he had looked neat and fragrant, she said, like who wants to date his lover alone he again noticed his appearance from the mirror in front of him, fearing that there is less. After feeling his perfect appearance, he smiled with satisfaction. Anyone who saw it would surely be amazed to see the good looks and appearance at this time, let alone his face looks radiant different from usual that seemed cold.

"So want to date this.gila, this really will make Kharisa think a thousand times to nolak you." Andre said when Rafael just came out of his room. Rafael throttled his lips, he knew Andre's guess about Kharisa would go far, Kharisa was not a woman who would easily come back to him just because he was fascinated by his good looks, she is a stubborn woman with her principles.

"I left first Bang, straight back to Jakarta." Rafael runs towards the exit.

"What about Vania nanyain?"

"Don't tell me I'm home, just tell me there's business." If you know Rafael comes home, it will surely follow him, while Rafael wants to finish his business first with his parents after it was new with Vania. Andre nodded his head, in his heart he felt sorry for Vania, although Vania was innocent, he accepted an arranged marriage with Rafael one of them because he considered Rafael a single man, and it seems that Vania has liked Rafael first, maybe even has grown a love in her heart in a man who just a few weeks ago proposed to her by force.

As the time had gone by, Rafael decided not to stop by the toy store, would definitely spend a long time, better linger with his son. He just stopped by to buy a pizza that used to be Kharisa's favorite food. Almost four o'clock in the afternoon he arrived at Kharisa's house, greeted by a boy playing on the terrace alone.

"Om doctel....today again?"

"Can't you come here again?" Rafael's heart breaks hearing Rakha's question, did he not expect his arrival? Ask in the heart.

"May dong Om doctel, come on in." Now her heart was back in the radiance as Rakha pulled her hand leading her into the living room.

"Om doctel want to see me or Momy?"

"Om going to meet both, Om bring pizza for Rakha with Momy." Rafael keeps two boxes of pizza at the table, there is pasta and also a salad.

"Well, this doctor is Mommy's favorite food." It turns out that Kharisa still makes pizza as his paforit food, until Rakha also knows it.

"If Rakha likes pizza, don't you?" rafael asked with a face of sumringah, it doesn't seem wrong this time he brought a pizza.

"I like it too but it's a lot of cheese."

"The same rich Om dong, Om also likes a lot of his cheese, it's so yummy, right?" Rakha nodded as well.

"May I open a chalice Om?" apparently Rakha already smelled the tempting roasted cheese, Rafael did order his pizzas with extra cheese.

"By dong, let's open." When Rafael and Rakha opened the pizza box, Kharisa was standing near them.

"You have come it." said Kharisa, he sat his body on the sofa, it looks like he just finished bathing, the smell of lavender from the bath soap is clearly smelled by Rafael's sense of smell, it turns out that Kharisa is still the same as before, lovers of lavender fragrance. If asked how Kharisa felt when he met Rafael, of course there is still a debate that he felt, trying to be faithful to wait for a short time, he said, plus the presence of Rakha the fruit of their love will certainly not be easy to erode the love that has been residing in his heart, but as he said he will mengikhlaskan Rafael if indeed they can not be together, but as he said he would, he will always remember what Faisal said when they ate steak at the cafe, you could say it was Faisal's advice before they went home.

"Give everything to God, it is easy for God to turn one's heart back, cultivate love or eliminate it, is not our soul mate has been set by God even before we were born into the world. If indeed the soul mate will certainly God ease the way at the right time, if not match means we have to berapang bosom, just be sure God will replace it with a better." Yes, he will stick to the advice Faisal gave.

"Momy look, Om Doctel brought Momy's favorite pizza, I took it for Momy." Rakha was so enthusiastic about taking a slice of pizza for her mom.

"There's spaghetti and salad too, you like the salad the most, right?" Rafael removes salads and spaghetti from different pockets.

"You're too much to carry this much food El, next time you don't have to bother like this." Kharisa said while receiving a slice of pizza from his son.

"It wouldn't be a hassle if for you and Rakha, every day I bring food like this will also not be able to replace the lost time for five years yesterday." Rafael's remarks made Kharisa can only be silent not to reply with a speech again.

"I'll go back and get a drink." Kharisa said as he moved from his seat.

While enjoying pizza, Rafael and Rakha are seen chatting, Rakha tells a lot about friends at school, so they do not realize that there is someone who is already standing at the door

"Assynolt......." Said a man with a backpack on his back and carrying a plastic logo with a mini market standing at the door.

"Waalaikum... Om Isal..yeeehh Om Isal......" Rakha immediately cheered towards Faisal, he grabbed and kissed the back of Faisal's hand. Faisal crouched down hugging Rakha and was reciprocated by Rakha with the embrace of his two tiny hands, then Faisal kissed Rakha's forehead. The sight did not escape the attention of Rafael who was envious to see the closeness of his son with a man he did not know.

"Om Isal here is Om Doctel." Faisal stood up and turned to the figure of the man he could have guessed was Rafael, from his face it could be seen that the man was so similar to Rakha.

"Oh Yes.introduce Faisal." Faisal stretched out his hand while smiling kindly. Rafael took Faisal's hand, and they shook hands with each other. But Rafael was coldly impressed to welcome Faisal.

"Om Isal wants pizza, I'll take it." Faisal sat on the sofa opposite Rafael, watching Rakha pick up a piece of Pizza and give it to Faisal. With a smile Faisal accepted it.

"Om Isal I told Momy first well that Om Isal has come. " Rakha walked towards the living room then into the kitchen leaving Rafael and Faisal who were putting little by little pizza into his mouth.

"Thank you for taking care of Kharisa and Rakha all this time." Rafael suddenly tells him that Faisal has stopped chewing pizza in his mouth.

"Sorry to be troublesome, from now on I'll take care of them." Said Rafael again. Faisal nodded his head as if understanding Rafael's intentions.

"Not a hassle, I already consider Kharisa and Rakha like family themselves, Rakha is a good and intelligent child, she must be very happy to meet her dady." Faisal said casually, his face was so calm, in contrast to Rafael who still showed a cold attitude.

Kharisa and Rakha enter the living room, Kharisa brings four glasses of yellow cold drink on the tray, while Rakha brings two boxes of lego toys that a few days ago bought Farael.

"Om Isal, lego I'm more and more, this is given a gift from Om doktel, om doktel give lots of toys, there are small race cars too, later Om Isal play car racing the same as me well." rakha is excited.

"Yes tomorrow we play well." said Faisal, Rakha also nodded happily.

"Drink first A, how come the cepet nyampe tumben?" Kharisa asked Faisal, only an hour and a half ago Faisal sent a message to Kharisa telling him he was just leaving.

"Use travel turns out to be faster, the road is smooth as well." Faisal replied as he took a drink at the table. Rafael noticed the interaction between the two, he added that Faisal's relationship with Kharisa was very close as well as with his son.

"Om Isal, I've memorized the letter Al Insyilohnya, I want a pair of puppets." Rakha suddenly stood up with enthusiasm, once a week he would deposit his Quran recite to Faisal, if not met directly through vidio call.

"Later finished maghrib dear, now Om Isalnya still cape." Said Kharisa, Rakha immediately put on his pouting face, even though he was excited to deposit his shipment.

"Come if you want now, where are you going? here you go, yeah." Finally Faisal agreed, did not have the heart to see Rakha's pouting face.

"In the course of Om Isal, here shame there is Om Doctel." Answer Rakha nyeng

"Do not be ashamed, let the Doctor know that Rakha has memorized the Quran." Referring to Rafael, Rakha shook his head instead.

"Within Om, come on....." Rakha pulled Faisal's hand to invite him to the living room, inevitably Faisal followed him. He nodded his head at Rafael's farewell mark, Rafael replied to him with a bland smile on his lips.

"Where's Oma?" Faisal asked as he walked into the living room.

"Omma again with Enin Dini." Answer Rakha

Now live Kharisa both with Rafael in the living room which is only blocked by the wall with the middle room.

"I'm not offered a drink?" rafael asked in a flat tone.

"That's why I'm ready to drink for you El, kiss me." Kharisa replied while pointing at the glass containing a drink that looked fresh.

"The drink in front of you is clear to you El." Kharisa felt strange with the attitude of Rafael, who was like a child.

"Okay, I drank yah." Rafael sipped a drink in his glass.

It was clear that Rakha's voice began to read out his verse deposit with the hallmark of his lisp, the letter R still could not be pronounced clearly.

Alam nasyloh laka shodlok

Wawadho’naa ‘anka wizlok

Alladzii ankqodho

Walofa’naa laka dziklok

Fa-inna ma’al ‘usli yuslool

Inna ma’al ‘usli yusloo

Fa-idzaa falonghta

Wa - ilaa lobbika falghob

Shodhaqollahuladziim.

"Alhamdulillah.wah Rakha getting more and more poultice, great. Tomorrow add another verse well, enter Ad Duhaa's letter. Now Rakha learned to say the hurup R try, let's read the Quran verse exactly. Try rrrrrrrrrrrrr."

"Llllrrrrrrll......" Raka followed the example of Faisal.

Hearing Raka learn to pronounce the letter R, Kharisa smiles himself, if the same Faisal he will recite, but if asked to learn to pronounce the letter R by Kharisa must be a lot of reasons to reject it.

"He's rapping in here?" Rafael asked broke the silence.

"Who?"

"That guy...." Replied Rafael without saying his name.

"Oh...His name is Faisal." Kharisa reminded. "A Isal nginap in Wa Dini's house, the house in front, Wa Dini's sister Mama, A Isal's niece husband Wa Dini." Kharisa.

"Did he mean so much to you as well as to Rakha?" Rafael's face looks scowled, it seems he was so worried that Faisal would be a barrier to the reunion he with Kharisa, it turns out the look and appearance of Faisal is interesting as well, just looks simpler, and more, but it is also suitable if you are with Kharisa, not to mention Rakha who is so familiar with him, and must love him very much, Rafael could lose competitiveness with him, he said, he had to go the extra mile to win the heart of Kharisa and his son.

"Of course he means a lot to us, God presents him in our lives, makes us strong to live until now."

"So she's also the reason you refused to let us together be full parents to Rakha?" Rafael asked in a cynical tone.

"Don't I explain why, you're engaged to another woman, I don't want to be the destroyer of your relationship with Vania."

"But it's because of Sa's forced, I don't love Vania, I love you Sa, we'll be together again, with our son Sa" Rafael tries to convince Kharisa, but Kharisa shakes his head.

"No El. No matter what reason you're still Vania's fiancee, her future husband." Kharisa remained firm in his stance will not be a destroyer of relationships other people, she is also a woman, must feel what Vania feels if Rafael to cancel the engagement.

"We're Sa's new fiancee, it can still be canceled." rafael said as he looked at Kharisa trying to dive into what really was in Kharisa's mind so as not to think of his own interests as well as Rakha's interests that needed a full family.

"Don't El, don't cancel, it'll be too complicated if we fight for our togetherness, your parents won't agree."

"Sa listen to me...."Rafael drew both hands of Kharisa in his grasp, Kharisa tried to pull it but the grip of Rafael's hand was so strong. "Look at me Sa....." Kharisa ventured to look at Rafael who was looking at him with a sharp but longing gaze.

"Back from here I'll meet my parents, I'll talk to them, so I beg you to wait for me, and we'll be together with our children into a whole family. You heard Sa..." Not yet had Kharisa give any answer, Rakha heard calling him, he immediately pulled his hand from Rafael's grasp.

"Momy...I want to go to the mosque first with Om Isal, Om doktel want to come to the mosque not baleng me. the same Om Isal?" Ask Rakha plain

"Om just want to go home, Om just happens to want to go to Jakarta, then Om play again here can not?"

"May dong Om doktel, later I want to play basketball with Doktel, said Momy Om Doctel pintel playing basketball." Rakha said as she engaged towards her Momynya.

"Yes, I'll teach you how to play basketball. Now Om can hug Rakha no, Om will definitely miss Rakha." There were eyes that missed Rafael's eyes.

"By Om doctel, I'll miss Om doctel." Rakha approached Rafael, and so did Rafael, he aligned himself with Rakha and embraced him affectionately, his heart pounding, but he felt his heart so sore, for five years he separated from Kharisa, and during that time he did not know any seed was laid on his beloved, until only a few days did he find out his flesh and blood which is currently in his arms. He tried to hold back all his might so as not to shed tears, and he succeeded. He rubbed his son's head, then he kissed his forehead. While Kharisa and Faisal could only see the interaction of the father and son with haru, the hope that used to bring Rakha together with her father was realized already, there remained Kharisa's readiness to explain to Rakha who was actually the man who was called Om Doctor by Rakha.

"Om all saying good to go home, Rakha is good with Momy well." Rafael took off his arms, along with the sound of the adhan maghrib echoing from the mosque not far from Kharisa's house.

"Om doctel be careful in his way well, don't speed things up." Raphael chuckled at the advice of his son.

" Yes." Yeah." He answered while nodding his head.

"I went to the mosque first, Om, and Om didctel." Rakha waved her hand. " Come Om Isal. Salamualaikum." Faisal and Rakha walked towards the mosque.

"I also want to go straight to Jakarta. You remember what I said earlier Sa, please wait for me, okay." Kharisa simply flinched not responding to Rafael's remarks. Before moving Rafael grabbed the wallet in his pants pocket, took out a debit card with a folded piece of paper and thrust it at Kharisa.

"Hold this, put it on for your and Rakha's needs, the card's in my name, the password hasn't been changed on this paper. Take it." Kharisa is still unmoved not intending to take it.

"It seems like there's no need for El, I can still meet Rakha's needs." Kharisa.

"Don't make me a useless man Sa, Rakha my son, I should have financed all his needs, and you are the mother of my son, so please take Sa." Finally Rafael grabbed Kharisa's left hand, placing a debit card in Kharisa's palm.

" I say yes Sa, Assalamualaikum." Rafael left Kharisa still glued to the card in his hand.
