At night, the sky is so dark without a single star or moon present as a decoration. Amidst the rumbling thunder of the other side outside, the Zulfan family was eating together.
The rectangular table with flower carvings at each corner is filled with various appetizing dishes. However, Alina did not enjoy it at all and only fed rice as a booster.
The mother-in-law who was in front of him also noticed him earlier. Moana put the spoon and thump and then put her fingers on the table.
"elena ... Mamah knows you are very worried about Raihan, but please .. You also have a duty as a wife to serve your husband. If you-"
"Moment." Call Zaidan quick.
Moana glanced at him at a glance and returned to the son-in-law. Alina who had been daydreaming raised her head slowly and looked at her mother-in-law.
"I'm sorry, Mah. It has disappointed Mamah, Papah, and Mas Zaidan but .. I can't just ignore my son. I know how it hurts when there are no parents around. I. .. don't want Raihan to feel the same."
"I'm sorry, thanks for dinner." With a messy feeling Alina got up from her seat then bowed to Moana and left just like that.
Seeing that Zaidan was surprised and moved from sitting down, "Mamah, Alina has returned home that means she wants to be responsible as my wife" he said.
"What's? Did Mom do something wrong?" moana asked not to find the answer of the son who had gone after his wife.
The head of the family just shook his head and looked at the wife. "You shouldn't have said that. It hurt her so much" Farras said later.
"What's? So Papah blames Mamah?" sulang Moana fast.
"It's not like it's Mah, it's just that the context is different. Alina is not okay right now. She must be required to look fine and work with her ex-husband to stop the child. Can you imagine how the past must intersect with the present? It must have been difficult and not easy to do, but Alina tried to balance her status as Zaidan's wife" Farras said at length.
Moana was dumbstruck and pursed her red lips. "Then Mama is wrong."
"If you want to talk about it, talk carefully. If it could be between the two of you, I'm sure Mamah would know better. Because you're both women" he said.
Moana nodded without saying anything. Far from the bottom of his heart the great madam felt very guilty.
...***...
Alina sat alone on the balcony of the room. His eyes were straight ahead with a blank look. His head was dead, unable to think of anything.
Occasionally the wind was present welcoming its existence. However, not long after that warmth spread when someone draped a warm shirt on his shoulder.
"You can catch a cold if you're outside without warm clothes" Zaidan said.
Alina turned to the side to find her husband smiling. "Thank you."
Zaidan nodded slowly and walked over then crouched down right in front of him. The firm hand was stretched out grasping the two fingers of the wife's cold fingers.
He pulled her gently and put kisses on her many times. "Darling, I'm sorry if your words offended you."
"No Mas, mamah did not touch me at all just .. only I was very worried about Raihan. I kept thinking of him, Mas .. I was afraid Raihan was calling me when he wasn't next to him. I can't get away from him, Mommy." Alina cried again imagining things that were not true.
"Syut, don't cry, honey. I'm sure Raihan is fine, isn't there Azam? Mas is sure his father's whereabouts can make Raihan calm."
Alina reluctantly held tightness in the chest while squeezing her husband's hands together firmly. Zaidan immediately hugged him quickly and rubbed his wife's back slowly.
"I'm sorry, Mas. Again I thought of Raihan," his great-granddaughter.
So soon Alina let go of the hug and stared right into the eyes of the husband. "Is it okay?"
Zaidan chuckled at the question, "what are you thinking, honey? You are already mine. It's okay, really." That answer made Alina's feelings warm up even more.
Zaidan also took Alina's nose slowly by looking at her warmly. "I love you so much, baby.
Alina was stunned and stunned to hear the expression of her husband's feelings again. As fast as lightning he scattered himself into his arms again.
"Thank you, I love you."
Zaidan smiled gently and hugged her very tightly.
In a different place at the same time Raihan had just come to his senses from his long sleep. After taking the medicine he fell asleep and did not know if the mother left.
He tried to sit back and was helped by Azam. After rubbing his eyes several times he circulated his gaze when he did not find Alina anywhere.
"Where are you, Dad?" tanyanya.
Azam who was still sitting on the next chair was holding his hand warmly. "You go home first, honey. Pity every night Mamah had to sleep on that couch," he said, turning his head sideways,
"Raihan doesn't want Mama to get sick, does he? That's why I told Mamah to rest at home" he explained again.
"Did Mamah go home to Zaidan's father?" Questions to avoid are also asked. Azam did not know what to answer and could only smile knots.
"It seems right, huh? Raihan it's okay ... Raihan's happy that Mamah's coming home to Zaidan's father."
"Smart kid, Dad's the guy who understands the most." Azam rubbed the top of his head gently.
"So tonight I can be together, Dad?" tanyanya back. Azam nodded. "Yyee, I've been wanting to sleep with you for a long time. Raihan thinks I'm going home tonight."
"really?" With spirit Raihan nodded quickly. "Then Raihan ate dinner first and then took medicine, after that Dad will read a fairy tale before going to bed."
"Em, Raihan will do it," Raihan replied happily.
Azam rubbed the top of his head and laughed together.
Time passed, finished with all his nightly routines, and the father and son lay together on the bed.
Azam sideways with the left arm as a headstool of the baby. The heavy and hoarse voice flowed in the room while reading a fairy tale.
Every now and then the nurse who went back and forth in the hallway stopped her steps. Out of curiosity they looked through the glass and immediately a smile appeared.
"Good dad." That was what they thought when watching the interaction of the two.
Coupled with the sound of laughter that continues to add excitement to the father and son in there.
"Raihan is very happy .. because now I really love Raihan. O Allah may Father and Mama forever love Raihan," his monologue in mind. "Even though they can not be together anymore, Raihan please hope that Father and mother can remain good to Raihan," he continued.
...Seriate......
