Dusk Rainbow

Breakfast rendang

"Thank you, dear," said Devan with a breath of gnawing, not forgetting to give a sweet kiss before he laid his body beside Raisya.

If usually after dawn he exercise beside the house, now he exercise, draining sweat on the bed. I don't know, how long it has been off, finally Devan can visit his baby candidate again on the whim of Raisya. It sounds weird, but that's what happened this morning.

Sunlight shone through the curtains, but Raisya was still reluctant to go out, and chose to be in the room.

Devan was still breathing with his eyes focused on his wife who continued to embrace him.

"It hurts?" devan asked silly, because he was too excited to forget that his wife was pregnant.

Raisya shook her head and pulled the blanket to cover her entire body. He was ashamed of his aggressive behavior.

"Sister," said the spoiled Raisya. He pulled out his blanket until he showed his face that was still together.

Devan tilted his body and wiped the sweat that still adorned Raisya's forehead.

"Today Brother don't work, accompany me at home" Raisya hesitantly pinta. Actually he did not want to act like that, but his heart continued to force until his lips said his wish.

"Yes, I can work from home."

"I'm too spoiled, huh?" raisya said she felt bad. 

"No, I like it. Naturally, pregnant women are like that. I'm even afraid that you want to stay away from me like you were pregnant with twins."

The sound of knocking on the door echoed, Devan immediately put on his clothes, not forgetting to take Raisya's clothes that were lying on the floor and put them in a dirty basket.

He pulled out his hair and opened the door. 

"What's up, Bi?" devan asked, buttoning his shirt at the top.

"There's a guest, he says he wants to see Aden." 

"Who?" devan asked, because he did not make a deal with anyone.

"Auntie does not know, the person is beautiful, he said he wants to nganter rendang.“

Devan furrowed his brows then laughed.

"Send him in!"

Devan shut the door after Auntie left.

Raisya woke up and wrapped his body with a blanket and then approached Devan who again took off his clothes.

"Where do you order rendang? I can ask Mama or Mommy."

Devan opens the bathroom door and invites Raisya in, pulling the blanket until the woman does not wear a thread.

"Now take a shower first, I'll tell you."

Almost an hour waiting, Devan and Raisya finally came down, both walking in parallel with both hands adrift.

Three beautiful women were sitting in the living room, and it was a success that made Raisya wonder. He stopped his steps and pulled Devan's hand.

"Why did they come here?" Raisya still memorized the face he saw from the phone screen. 

Devan smiles. "We meet first." replied Devan who also whispered.

Forced Raisya to follow Devan to his guests.

Ahem

Devan cleared his throat and sat down in front of the three women, each of them carrying a medium-sized tupperware.

"What did you bring?" ask Devan.

The three put the side dish on the table.

"This is my request" replied one of them representing the whole thing and opened it.

Devan mangosteen.

The aroma of cooking made from beef with special seasonings that arouse appetizing to make Devan stomach rumbling, moreover he just drain all his energy and need more nutrients.

"Bi," cried Devan towards the back.

Auntie approached Devan and bowed kindly.

"The rice is ripe?" ask Devan. 

"Already, Den. Auntie's at the dinner table."

"Prepare the dishes, all brought to the dining table, you." Devan pointed at the woman sitting on the sidelines.

"Help aunt bring her food."

"Good, sir." The woman immediately moved and took her food.

"Sister, what's going on? Didn't they insult Naimah?" ask Raisya to make sure. 

"But Naimah has met, why is it sought?"

Devan landed his finger on his lips.

"Don't tell me, just let them get overwhelmed, now we'd better eat."

Actually Raisya did not have the heart to see the three women, but considering his treatment of Naimah, made him upset.

Devan sat in the front seat. Raisya is on his right side. Next to her were the three women, while the aunt was on Devan's left side.

"You're sincere?" ask Raisya before bribing her food.

"Ikhlas, Mom."

"I eat, yeah." 

After the woman nodded, Raisya ate it.

Finally the three women and aunt also ate voraciously.

On the sidelines of the meal Devan's phone rang.

"Honey, David wants to go to your grave, aren't you coming?" ask Devan.

Hearing David's words, the three employees came back stubbornly because they had not found Naimah.

"Follow, but restless, I spent the rest of it."

Devan looked at Raisya, then glanced at the empty plate of the three employees. Since being declared pregnant, this is the first time the pregnant woman has eaten voraciously.

"You guys finished eating?"

The three women nodded without a sound.

"Follow me!" Devan moved, walking towards the front door.

"This is the money for compensation." Devan's handing out a few hundred bills.

"No sir, we are sincere" they answered in unison. Refusing Devan's gift.

"I am also sincere" Devan said.

"Thank you, my wife is pregnant, you pray that she will be saved until our baby comes into the world."

The three look at each other and receive money from Devan who continues to urge.

Did Mr Devan replace his sentence with a more severe one? 

"No, your punishment remains the same, look for Naimah and apologize, thank you for the rendang, because you, my wife want to eat."

After praying for Raisya, the three women went on a motorcycle ride each. Avoiding Devan who can always read his language. 

...****************...

For Raisya and David, coming to the mother's grave is like meeting the figure of his mother directly, although different in nature, David feels close to his mother, David, even sometimes he feels accompanied by a woman who has sacrificed for him.

After chanting prayers for the whole family, David introduced Naimah in front of the grave of Arum. His tears did not stop dripping considering the fate that had happened.

Randu's father sat down next to David and stroked his trembling back. 

"Don't keep blaming yourself. Now that we go home, just like you, you will want to hug you, congratulate your marriage and also give gifts. Man can only plan, but God determines the age of man in the hands of God, so never regret what happened."

Raisya grabbed David's shoulder and leaned his head.

"Now my sister is an adult, Mother. She's married, and soon I'll have a child too. May God give a beautiful theme to Mother" Raisya said.

Naimah wiped the tears that soaked David's cheeks and helped him stand up.
