Don't Take My Son

Maybe It's Time

Three days passed after Rafael had had a chance to have dinner with the family of Kharisa and his son, during those three days Kharisa was also in doubt. That night before Rafael left the porch of his house, Rafael said something that intrigued his heart.

"Sa...when are you going to tell Rakha that I'm her Dady?" Rafael asked as they were on the porch, just the two of them, standing facing each other . At that time, Kharisa was silent and did not answer.

"I was really tormented Sa, when he called me Doctor Om, when I missed wanting to be around him even wanting to hug him, I could only imagine it. But maybe that's my reward because for the last five years I wasn't among you, but I really don't know." Rafael breathed. Her heart ached considering how her parents were so heartless not to tell her about Kharisa's pregnancy even as if to deliberately make them separate.

"I've spoken to my parents, I'll cancel my engagement to Vania. I also expressed my disappointment that they hid your pregnancy first. I'm sorry for my parents' treatment of you and your family Sa." Rafael really meant it. Kharisa's eyes looked teary, of course because he recalled how Tafael's parents treated him and Rakha.

"Ah sorry Sa if I make you sad." Said Rafael when he saw the crystal clear fall on Kharisa's cheek, his hand was about to wipe Kharisa's cheek, but Kharisa's hand first rubbed his own cheek.

"I forgot my question, Sa, I'll wait until you're ready to tell Rakha." Rafael's heart aches to see Kharisa shed tears, he can feel maybe Kharisa still feels disappointment to him and his parents. Patience, that's what he had to do, but until now Kharisa did not forbid him to meet Rakha.

"Sa.sorry me well, don't be sad anymore, smile dong." Kharisa pursed his lips while drying his eyes with both hands.

"Smile dong." Goda Rafael's.

"Here you go home....." Kharisa moved his hand in a repulsive motion, but Rafael chuckled, feeling that he had been expelled.

"Smile first, and then I'll go home" he said, remaining in his place.

"El..ah I'm in." Kharisa turned his back on a sullen face, but Rafael grabbed Kharisa's hand and held him back.

"Isa....El...."Kharisa brushed off Rafael's hand

"I won't be able to sleep if I see you pouting like that, let's smile first" Rafael said.

"What the hell El..had been there home, I've smiled." Kharisa widened his lips with a forced. Rafael chuckled at Kharisa's forced smile.

"Yes, I went home. You rest, sleep well. Assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight." Kharisa was still standing in his place until Rafael's car was no longer seen in front of his house.

The chat on the porch that night apparently made him think, did he selfishly not think how the feeling of Rafael who must have missed his son very much, it is not clear that Rafael had not known the existence of Rakha because his parents did not tell him and even tried to hide him from Rafael. Rafael is not wrong, right? When Rafael finds out that Rakha is his son, he does not refuse to even welcome him and wants to be recognized that he is Rakha's father. Maybe it's time for Rakha to know who the dady is. But he was confused how to convey it to Rakha.

His intentions are getting rounder when Rakha sleep brings up his dady.

"Momy, I got two good oms." Rakha said while lying on his back, his hands rubbing Momynya's wrists, Rakha's habit before going to bed if accompanied by Kharisa like that.

"Hmm." Kharisa responded to Rakha's remark, he could already guess who was meant.

"Om Isal and Om Doctel." Said Rakha, although his momy did not ask who Rakha meant.

"Om Isal says love me, love ngajalin I njai, read and write, love to give me gifts. Om Doctel is also good with me, giving a lot of gifts." Kharisa remained silent not responding to his son's remarks. He just stroked his son's forehead to quickly fall asleep.

"Momy...if Dady comes home later, bring me a present?"

Deg. His heart feels stopped beating, it turns out Rakha still remembers Dadynya, but after two weeks more he never asked again dadynya. His son slaps him, reminding him that Rakha still expects his Dady to come home.

Okay Rakha, Momy will tell you that when your Dady actually comes home, Momy will think of the right words to tell you. Give Mommy two days. His mind at that time, while thinking how to tell Rakha so that Rakha believes and wants to accept his dady, because Rakha already knows his dady first as Doctor Om. If only Rafael came with the condition of not being engaged to another woman, of course he would not hesitate to introduce her as a dadynya. But it is not necessary to discuss the dream, now just think about how to convey to Rakha that the doctor Om is the dadynya.

Thursday afternoon Kharisa came home from the hospital greeted with the face of his son's frown. There must be something that makes Rakha pout like that, let alone greet him, answer greetings no, he sat on the porch chair of the house, propping his chin with his right hand, he said, did not look at her even a bit as Kharisa greeted her.

"Mommy's son why pout that, I don't answer his greetings. If you don't answer the greeting Om Isal how come." Kharisa deliberately carrying the name Faisal will usually be able to.

"Getry." Sure enough he answered the greeting even after being reminded.

"Tomorrow I don't want to go to school" said Rakha still with a pouting face. Kharisa immediately frowned. He had been suspicious usually Rakha if he did not want to go to school if there are things related to his dady, but this time what else is the matter about his dady.

"Indeed why not want to go to school, later Rakha's friends will miss Rakha and will miss Rakha, Rakha will also miss her friend."

"Said miss Shinta later to the fine school baleng dadynya, dady I certainly can not come." Reply Rakha scowled. Sure enough it turned out to be because of something dealing with her dady.

"Who said that Dady can't come to Rakha's school?" Kharisa was more and more convinced to tell his dady to Rakha.

"Dady is far away, school is again." Rakha still thinks there's no way her dady can go home.

"Let's Momy tell Dady, Dady will definitely come to Rakha's school." Rakha's eyes immediately rounded hearing Momy's words, he immediately sat up straight looking at Momynya with sparkling eyes.

"Dady's pants can come to school?" He still doesn't believe his mom. Kharisa nodded his head while smiling haru.

"When should Dady go to Rakha's school?" Kharisa does not know what activities are in Rakha school, today he has not had time to check the WA Rakha school group, usually the school activity info will be infused in WA group.

"There's a embroidery on my bag." Rakha got off the chair and went inside the house. Kharisa breathed a long breath. Yes, it's time Rakha knew who her dady was who she had been waiting for all this time. Kharisa also entered his house.

"It's Momy....." Rakha handed over the official letter of notice from the school. Kharisa read it while sitting on the sofa in the living room, it turns out there is a 'Father's Day' event on Saturday. An event designed to bring father and son closer together. Many race activities that can be followed, such as child holding competitions, father-like competitions, cooking competitions with the father, composing puzle competitions, drawing with the father and there are still several other competitions that can be followed. Accidentally the event is held on school holidays so that parents can attend especially the father, most Saturdays office - office on holiday, and so on, while in the hospital where Kharisa worked Saturday still entered even though half a day. Kharisa so doubt whether Rafael can come to the event or not, he must make sure first. Tonight he'll call Rafael to make sure.

"Let's Momy call dady, say smooth to my school later." Rakha can't wait to make sure her dady comes to school.

"Yes later tonight Momy calls, now her Dady's still busy." Rakha looked a little disappointed at not being able to contact her dady.

"Assynolt...." Mama was seen entering the living room home from the lecture at the mosque housing conference.

"Getishalight." Kharisa and Rakha answered.

"Oma.. said Momy later Dady can come to my school." said Rakha as she reached for Omanya's hand with a radiant face, this afternoon he stammered in front of his omanya, and said, to not want to take a nap even though persuaded by his oma. Mama Kharisa immediately turned to her daughter, with a question mark expression, Kharisa just gave a smile as the answer. Mama did not ask too much, she had entrusted Kharisa, whatever decision her daughter made she would support him. During this time also Kharisa often discussed it together, asking for the opinion of his mother. He just wants his daughter and granddaughter to be happy.

"Well, pray for the best well, God willing tomorrow I'll tell Rakha about the dady." Kharisa said as she sat down on the sofa, while Rakha began to unload her toys.

"Have you talked to Rafael?" ask Mami.

"Tonight I'll call him." Kharisa replied, Mama nodded her head.

"Mama will support you. Maybe it's time for Rakha to know who her father is, she'll be happy."
