Don't Take My Son

Because I Love You

"Momy.I can sell it, there's a trophy." After saying his greetings, he immediately entered the house looking for his momy.

"Omm...Grandma I can sell, there are three trophies." He said as he found Oma and her grandmother in the living room.

"Well Oma's granddaughter is great, what champion can she be, where's the cup? Tanya Oma was enthusiastic.

"Dibawain Dady." Rakha replied as she turned to the living room, it looks like the dady has not yet entered the house.

"Waah ..jagoan Momy is home." Kharisa came out of his room.

"Momy come here, I got three trophies." Rakha pulls her momy hand towards the living room, along with Rafael appears carrying a goody bag containing a trophy belonging to Raka and a bag containing two lunch boxes and two snack boxes ration from the school. Rafael throws a smile at Kharisa, then takes out the trophy and keeps it on the table.

"Momy was a great Dady, carrying me with lali, he was fast, so can sell two, this is the trophy" Rakha looks excited to tell a story and show the trophy.

"Dady champ is also great, pinter composes his puzzle, can champion one deh, tos first dong." Rafael raises his hand high five with Rakha.

"So she was confident fitting on the stage, her friends on cheering cheered encouragingly, she was also full smile. If there's a model of the child's race will win too, it's cool champ dady." Rafael ruffles his son's hair which still looks neat effect of using his dady pomade.

"I've seen, someone sent his vidion in Rakha's class group."

"You have vidionya? Later send to me well, anyway there I'm the same Rakha send well." Rafael is excited. At the time when Rafael had no documentation at all, he was confused about who to ask for help, because there was nothing he knew.

"Yes, I'll send it." Answer Kharisa. "Jagoan mami from where the hell, the clock is coming home, has dhuhur prayer not yet?" Kharisa pulled Rakha sitting next to him.

"I'm with Dady to have lunch first Momy, have dong prayers with Dady beljamaah."The answer is proud to be able to pray with his dady.

"Where is it eating, far away?" Apparently Kharisa from earlier waiting for Rakha's return, allegedly when he came home from work at one noon Rakha was already at home, because Rafael had informed the event at the school was over and asked for permission to invite Rakha to lunch at half twelve.

"Eating at the restaurant, there's the lake, I eat the same fish going, transparent I eat ice clim same Om Andle while playing a swing." Rakha does not know the name of the restaurant.

"It's in a Sundanese restaurant in an industrial area near the toll." Rafael explained without being asked. Kharisa nods his head to know his place, he was once invited to eat with Andre after a visit to the company.

"Momy I just met Oma with Opa, tell me salim with Oma Opa." Rakha said innocently making Kharisa curious.

"Oma, Opa?" ask

"Hmmm.....Dady said Dady's father was Dady's mother." Rakha replied while nodding her head. Kharisa stared at Rafael.

"El you didn't say you'd take Rakha to your parents." Kharisa does not like Rafael to bring Rakha together with Rafael's parents who did not want Rakha, the pain is still felt.

"I also did not know there was Mami Papi there, Bang Andre called for lunch together, yes I did all ngajak Rakha lunch, after all Rakha will meet oma opanya not someone else"

"El.. I don't like...." Kharisa stopped his words, realizing that Rakha was nearby.

"Rakha took a nap, yeah, definitely cape was out of the race." Now is the time to take a nap, Kharisa and his omanya did get Rakha to take a nap, to support her growth and development.

"But I still want to be with Dady." his whine spoiled, his eyes staring at Dady as if asking for support to stay with her Dady.

"Rakha takes a nap, and tomorrow Dady takes Rakha for a walk." Rafael instead tells Rakha to take a nap, as he needs time to talk to Kharisa.

"Benel's taking Dady's road tomorrow?" Rakha asked to make sure, it seemed like she still wanted to let go of the longing on her dady.

"Yes, tomorrow morning Dady is here, nyamper Rakha. Okay, now Rakha bobo day well, here Dady wants to hug Rakha first." Rakha approached her Dady, stretched out her arms to hug her, Rafael hugged her and kissed her cheeks and forehead.

"Because Dady....." Rakha waved his hand leaving Rafael in the living room, replied Rafael with a wave of hands and kiss by. Kharisa just escorted Rakha to his room, then returned to the living room to meet Rafael, there was his oma accompanying Rakha to take a nap.

"El ...In the future I beg you, I don't want Rakha to meet your parents?" Kharisa sitting in front of Rafael blocked the table, but Rafael hopes Kharisa sitting next to him, had he moved to sit on a long sofa, it turns out Kharisa instead sat on a single sofa in front of him.

"Your parents don't want Rakha, I don't want them to hurt Rakha or Rakha is ignored by them." said Kharisa Lirih. Shown again how the treatment of Rafael's mother when he came to the house Rafael, when Rakha was almost a year old, not a little Rakha's mother touched her grandson let alone hold him, especially when asked to adopt Rakha, Rakha, make old wounds reopen. Maybe now it's like ignoring Rakha, it hurts to imagine it.

"You misunderstood Sa, my parents accepted Rakha as their granddaughter, they regretted their actions. You can ask Rakha earlier how Papai and Mami treat Rakha. Even papi hugged and kissed Rakha, Mami also kissed Rakha." Kharisa was stunned to hear that, really? Ask in his heart

"Would not everyone be able to change Sa, it used to be possible that mami and papi did not accept Rakha because they thought we were too young, but now after seeing Rakha they immediately collapsed, even regretting his old attitude. I'm so sure Sa they're gonna bless us, too."

"Our restaurant? Meanin?"

"Yes I'm sure they will bless us together, me, you and Rakha into a whole family." Confidence flashed on Rafael's face.

"Son El. We can't be together, I don't want to break your engagement to Vania." Vania shook her head, disagreeing with what Rafael said, no matter how she was a woman, she did not want to hurt other women, although she also had experienced disappointment and heartache but that was over, now he feels happiness with Rakha.

"Let me take responsibility for the wrongs I have done, I promise to make you and Rakha happy, Rakha needs us as her parents." Rafael tries to convince Kharisa, he must be able to convince him, for Rakha, for the love of both of them, Rafael believes there is still love in Kharisa's heart for him even though it is not as big as before, when he has not disappointed Kharisa.

"You can still be in charge of Rakha without us living with El, I don't ma......" Kharisa hasn't finished talking but Rafael has cut him off.

"Sa, why do you always refuse, you don't love me anymore Sa? Is it because of that guy?" Raphael seemed to be angry to imagine that Kharisa loved the man he meant.

"who do you mean? Faisal? I told you it had nothing to do with Faisal." Kharisa's voice sounded high-pitched, he did not like Faisal being carried around or used as an excuse in the relationship between Kharisa and Rafael. It was clear the reason was because of the status of Rafael who had become Vania's fiancee. And Kharisa did not want to be the destroyer of the engagement. Still ringing in his ear said Rafael's father when giving a speech earlier.

"All I say is that my youngest son has just been engaged to someone who is also part of this hospital, you must also know him, I beg my future daughter-in-law please stand up." Kharisa still remembers what Rafael's father said.

"I deliberately announce that if any of you who have a crush on one of them better retreat from now than a broken heart.ha.ha.ha.ha, like our director who is still at home with his singles status." Rafael's father's words were as if they were intended for him and he had to be self-conscious.

"If the reason is because of my engagement to Vania, you take it easy Sa, I will cancel it, my resolve is unanimous, I cannot live with Vania, I do not love her Sa, I do not love her, I'm asking until the end of this month to finish it with Vania and her family." Kharisa shook his head instead, he did not want Rafael to do that.

"Sir El, you don't do that, you can still be a father to Rakha, even if we're not together, I promise you won't get in the way if you want to meet Rakha, our challenges are too big to be together, I've been happy like this, I'm also sure you'll be happy with Vania, you can learn to love Vania, she's a good woman." Kharisa believed Faisal said that love can come because we are accustomed to opening our hearts and accepting our destiny, God is the One who turns back the hearts of men , it can turn hate into love or vice versa.

"Please Sa. You can't force me to keep my engagement, but I'll force you to accept me again, oh yeah I haven't cut off our relationship even if we're apart, I remind you that you forgot, so your status is still my girlfriend."

"Hey.he... El our relationship has ended when we did not contact each other, our relationship is now only because there is Rakha between us, your relationship with Vania is stronger because you have proposed to her and it involves two big families, that's what it's supposed to hold." Kharisa chuckled in light of his relationship with Rafael which seemed to be cut off for five years without news, although he himself tried faithfully to wait not to turn to another heart including to Faisal, but he feels his relationship with Rafael is now no longer intertwined, yes since he knew Rafael was engaged to Vania.

"It is precisely because there is Rakha that our relationship is stronger, Rakha is more entitled to us to be his full parents Sa, if you already do not have the feeling of love again with me, Rakha is more entitled to us to be his parents, at least you think about Rakha's happiness. Can't you learn to love me again."

"We don't have to discuss this anymore, for sure I don't want to be the destroyer of your relationship with Vania, I don't want Vania to hate me." It was enough of Rafael's parents to hate him, he added inwardly.

"Okay Sa, lastly, please listen to me. I will not change my mind, I will fight for our relationship, because I love you and our son, I love you both. And we will live together and be happy. Okay." Okay." Raphael spoke firmly, as if not giving Kharisa a chance to refute again. In his heart he was determined to fight to make Kharisa love him again if indeed Kharisa's love had faded for him. Of course he has the power with Rakha.

"I'm saying goodbye, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a father to Rakha, I won't waste it."

"This day is realy the father's day for me." Rafael said it with teary eyes, making Kharisa full of seeing it, he was silent and speechless. At the moment Kharisa feels Rafael is so mature and responsible, he also knows and feels Rafael still loves him very much, Rafael's engagement with Vania just because it follows the wishes of his parents, he said, so he should soften his heart to accept Rafael again and build a full family for Rakha and for their love of course, because in Kharisa's heart the deepest love is still there, she said, growing strong and big, he was just afraid to fight for it.

"Okay I go home first, do not forget to send vidio and photos of activities at Rakha school earlier. Greetings to your mama, as well as Rakha, tell her that I love her very much." Raphael stood up.

"I'm pampering. Assalamualaikum." he said, then left the living room to his car parked on the side of the road in front of Kharisa's house. Kharisa drove him to the terrace.
