"Uh, Ms. Altakendra, it seems more beautiful. Chubby too. Happy effect without burden of suffering times yes," seduced Nova after she splashed with Zafira.
Zafira smiled perplexedly, "yes? I don't know. I'm fat, Nov?" whisky Zafira. His body seemed to be fatter than before. Suddenly he felt insecure, afraid of increasing his body weight made Alvian ilfil.
Nova chuckled, then whispered back, "don't fill it anymore."
"Ah, not like that. You see, a week ago I finished even though it was only 2 days. I don't know anything." Kilah Zafira refused to believe what Nova had just said. They walked into the house whispering.
"What whispers? Don't tell me anymore ghibahin handsome man," as long as Alvian who appeared suddenly while holding baby Zafran.
"The jerk of the times, not the handsome man," Nova sneered with a sneering lip gesture.
"Am, your bini hasn't changed at all. Still bars and regular kayaking. Very at home you are the same people," Alvian scorned make Nova's eyes glare sharply.
Amri chuckled, "that's exactly what makes my household more colorful, Al. You see, his attitude is making a gemes," replied Amri with a big smile.
"Bucin base," taunted Alvian.
"Kayak loe not only," sambar Nova mocked making Zafira chuckle while shaking her head.
"You feel like Tom and Jerry, every time you meet always fighting," said Zafira made Amri chuckle justifying what Zafira said.
"Udah ah, really males talk the same as the one. Mending to see the embul Zafran. Oh my Ra, the more embossed baby Zafran. Make gemesin. Here Al, I want to carry dong!"
"Honey, you're pregnant. Baby Zafran is very heavy. I don't want your stomach to be depressed because of the cradle. Don't just!" amri said softly making Nova pursed her lips.
"Well, Auntie can't carry yet. Just kiss me." His words then immediately kissed Zafran's cheek made the puffed baby smile widely.
"Eh Nova, Amri, it's coming. Go straight to the dinner table!" Take Bu Ayu when you see the whereabouts of Nova and Amri.
"Ready Bun. We must be there. Loss dong came all the way but did not enjoy the mother's cooking," Nova replied as she grabbed the back of Bu Ayu's hand and kissed her.
"Ka ... "
"Assalamu'alaikum" said several people from the front door.
Alvian who knew very well the voice of whoever it was rushed forward to greet his guests. Everyone's eyes turned toward the arrival of the three people Alvian invited.
"Papa .." cried Regina and Refina compact while running around welcoming the arrival of Refano. Refano crouched down to greet his two daughters in his arms.
"He ... Regina sister? Then the smaller one?" asking the girl made the two little boys distract them.
"Regi, Refi, meet, he's Aunt Fani, papa's sister. Yuk, acquaintance!" refano said to invite his children to shake hands with Refani. They also said that shaking hands did not forget to kiss the back of Refani's hand made Refani's eyes teary.
Refano told me he was divorced from Zafira. Refani did know Zafira because he disappeared when Regina was only a few months old.
There is a sense of haru at once sad to see his sister's children. But he was grateful, his former brother-in-law and his second brother had a big heart to forgive his brother's mistakes and still allow his brother to see his children.
Zafira was a little surprised that this dinner was also attended by her ex-husband and also Refani and Luthfi. He immediately let them into the dining table.
Bu Ayu, who asked Alvian to invite the three people, immediately greeted them with joy. Refano and his early Refani were a little afraid and hesitant. What if Ayu ma'am doesn't like their arrival. After all, they were the sons and daughters of the man who ruined Bu Ayu's life. But their fears were not proven. Bu Ayu warmly welcomed their arrival. Even Bu Ayu unhesitatingly hugged and kissed the cheeks of the two people making both of them teary-eyed in happiness. Those who hardly ever feel the affection of a mother seem to have just found their lamp. Not only that, Bu Ayu also asked them to call her mother just as Alvian made the two people unable to resist their happy cries.
"Mother" they wept with tears.
Bu Ayu wiped the tears on Refani's cheeks, alternating with Refano.
"From now on, think of you as your own mother. From now on, the two of you are the children. Mother's children should be happy. From today, welcome your happiness. Never feel alone again and from now on, they are your family. Family members should love each other. Let's smile, mother does not want to see you crying again. Mother wants to see you happy. Where's smile?" said Bu Ayu made the two brothers smile while rubbing their wet cheeks rough.
"Why are you crying?" said Bu Ayu when he saw Luthfi joined in tears. "Eh, uh, uh, how come there's something weird here huh? Kan you Aspri her Al, why did you even come the same ... " Mum Ayu paused her sentence then smiled widely. "Oh mother knows, mother knows." Bu Ayu said meaningfully to make Luthfi widen his eyes.
"Not that Bun ... "
"Good night everyone," said a middle-aged man who had just arrived. "Happy birthday, Yu," the man continued, handing over a large bouquet of roses and a box that had no idea what it was.
Everyone was wide-eyed when they found out today was Bu Ayu's birthday. They think it's just a regular dinner. But apparently, this is Bu Ayu's birthday celebration dinner. Bu Ayu did deliberately not tell this to others so that they do not need to bring all gifts. But it turns out the secret was also revealed because of the actions of Afrizal.
"Good night. I-yes, thank you. But .. you are ... "
"Know today is your birthday? That so?" sambar Afrizal cut Bu Ayu's words. "I've known for a long time. Forgot who anterin gift shopper every birthday you used to be?"
Bu Ayu gaped in disbelief. It was decades ago, but this man still remembers it.
"Oh my goodness, why don't you say it's your birthday today?" nova Protest.
"You also bang, why don't you tell me?" zafira's protest against Alvian.
"That's the mother herself who asked, dear," replied Alvian.
"Yes Ra, Nov, this is indeed the mother deliberately asked not to say anything. But basic nih people, ngacauin plan aja mother."
"Sign it, Bun. There must be something. Ciyeeee .. mother," as usual Nova teased Bu Ayu making Bu Ayu snort while holding her smile. The others laughed at Bu Ayu's misguided expression.
"Come on, come on, want to stand there until when? The food is cold later. Come on Fira, invite our guests to dinner now," said Bu Mayang interrupted their conversation.
They immediately moved and sat in the chair that was available there to enjoy dinner. The dinner was so fun. Zafira looked at the faces of those who were there. Everything seems so happy. Refano and Refani also felt the happiness of infinity. For the first time ever, they can finally enjoy dinner together like a warm happy family. Although Refano has always enjoyed dinner with his father and mother, there has never been such warmth as they feel today.
But the warmth was suddenly interrupted when Refano had just raised a call that turned out to be from the hospital.
