Alesya had just been transferred to the inpatient room. Families who had been waiting for the delivery process flocked to enter the room where Alesya was sitting leaning in her safe accompanied by the Arab prince who had the affectionate call "Alby" given.
"How are you doing, son?, there must still be some sick huh?"
Izma who had just entered directly approached Alesya and asked the state of the favorite daughter-in-law after giving birth to her twin grandchildren.
Alesya smiled sweetly. Hinted that he was okay. "Alhamdulillah I'm okay Mami, yes there are still sick, but it's gone after seeing Mami as happy as this because her grandchildren are born."
Alesya could have changed the look on Izma's face that had been anxious immediately smiled for a moment. The atmosphere melted with laughter from the woman who had just given birth to a new member in her big family, two members at once.
"Mama."
Alesya looked at Farha who had just appeared before her. With doubt Farha approached Alesya. Afnan retreated his steps and allowed his mother-in-law to stand near Alesya.
The crying began to break the silence. Alesya was surprised to find her mother sobbing in front of her eyes.
"Ma?, Mama why cry?, what's the matter Ma?." Alesya asked in panic.
Farha shook her head softly "Ma-Mama apologizes Alesya, Mama asks yes?, Ma-Ma-"
Alesya stopped her mother saying that she should not apologize to him. Farha did nothing wrong in Alesya's eyes as her biological child.
"What's the talk?, Mama has no fault with me, I should be the one who apologizes to Mama, because it has ever made Mama disappointed, I'm sorry Ma."
With guilt Alesya grasped tightly Farha's hand to apologize for her mistake that had once made her mother disappointed even angry.
Farha could no longer bear her sadness and immediately embraced the youngest Princess who had just a few hours ago become a Mother like herself.
The warm embrace that Alesya always misses now she gets it from her beloved biological mother from long ago to this very second.
The hug was released but Farha's tears had not stopped. Keep flowing makes Alesya get carried away until finally shed tears. Tears are happy because today her biological mother has looked at her affectionately instead of looking at her with anger again as before.
Farha stroked Alesya's shoulder gently. "Mama is proud of you, very proud of you, you are a strong, very strong Mama's child, you are a daughter of Mama who is very dear to Mama."
Alesya squandered back into her mother's arms. Those were the words he had been waiting for all this time. Making her Mama proud of him was Alesya's dream long ago. More precisely since he decided to marry Afnan.
This time it was not only Alesya who was crying with haru but Aiza, Ahyar and Alula were also in tears. Finally Farha again loved Alesya as usual. The mother and child relationship is now back.
"Excuse me."
Gut the door as well as permissive speech became the center of attention of everyone who was in the room.
Two sisters enter the room holding twins Alesya and Afnan. Then wanted to give to Alesya but Alesya told Sister to give her baby daughter to Farha and Afnan also told the Sister who holds her baby boy to give to Ahyar which is both biological parents mother of the twins.
Farha could not hold back her tears when she saw the tiny baby who was in her arms was the son of her youngest daughter, which means her grandson.
"You're beautiful, son, like your mother." Praise Farha while gently stroking the cheeks of the baby girl in her arms.
"Like Oma you're a son too." Typal Alesya added to Farha's words who finally turned to her with a smile.
While Ahyar was also moved to look at the baby boy who was peacefully asleep.
"God, if this one is handsome like his father." Praise Ahyar praised the good looks of his first grandchild who inherited a handsome face from his father.
Afnan smile. "Like Opa you're a son too." Continue Afnan who added Ahyar's speech.
While the others were smiling, they looked at the twins. Ali, the boy who had just been silent next to his father, said "Papa, Ali has two sisters at once, huh?." Plain asking.
David also chuckled amusedly as he turned to look at his son. Followed by the sound of laughter by everyone who looked at Ali with anxiety.
"Honey Ali, but not his brother Ali, but his nephew Ali, now Ali is a young Om."
"Huh?, young Om?." Tanya Ali did not understand what Alesya said to him.
"Sister Ale, Ali is still a child so Om, Ali does not want to!" Ocehnya who does not want to be called Om.
Alesya chuckles. "Well, what does Ali want to be called?"
Ali put on a thoughtful face. "hmmm, Ali wants to be called Abang Ali."
"After that, if Ali's younger siblings have grown up, they will call Ali by the name of Abang Ali."
"Okay, Ale's sister." Ali answered with enthusiasm.
"Oh yeah Ali's sisters whose name is Ale's brother?"
Alesya turned to Afnan to help him answer his sister's questions. The one who prepared the name was Afnan. Father of twins.
"For a while his name was Son and Princess first yes, because his real name will only be announced at aqiqah later."
All members of Alesya and Afnan's family nodded in a sign of understanding and began to call the twins' names as Son and Daughter.
Talk about Aqiqah which is still a week away. Alesya remembered her mother. "Ma how about if Mama accompanied me first here to wait for aqiqah event, in shaa Allah another week, because I still miss Mama, I need Mama's embrace." Alesya's childish soul just appeared. And by his means hugged Farha's waist which he made head bobbles only.
David spoke up. "Yes, Mama should be here first to accompany Alesya. I said it was with Mama." Alesya smiled at David who helped him persuade Farha to stay in Indonesia for a while.
"But how is Papa Ali?" Farha thinks of her husband and son who are unlikely to linger in Indonesia because David has to work and Ali has to go to school. It is not possible if offices and schools are moved to Indonesia.
David thought for a moment. "Look, Papa Sama Ali just go home to Singapore Mama tetep here, later on when Papa sama Ali's aqiqanya event to come here again."
Actually Farha is very hard to let her husband and son go home to Singapore without her. Farha is also not sure if her husband and children can do activities without her because all this time they are always served by her.
"But Papa sure you can take care of yourself like Ali?"
"It's God, isn't it Ali?"
Ali just nodded. He was a child and needed his mother.
"Mama take it easy, there will be me, later let me just change the position of Mama as Mother but not as wife."
David chuckled because Alula had turned to him while saying the last word.
"Lho Kak Alula already want to go back to Singapore?, do not want to be here first?." Alesya asked disappointedly.
Yeah how else. Alesya could not force Alula to remain in Indonesia. Nothing is important later when the big family aqiqah event regroups. It doesn't taste good if you have to separate like this. But Alesya can do what. If God had willed like this. Just be grateful for what happened. As a human being, you should be thankful in every circumstance.

In the afternoon Alesya had just woken up from her nap. He slowly gathered his consciousness after falling asleep a few hours ago. Look at the whole corner of the room. Silent and silent. His family members suddenly disappeared leaving him and his twin babies who were sleeping with his compact in a baby box adjacent to his safe.
"Sleep well, two of Umma's favorites. Where are you baba, son?, why aren't you here?"
Where did Afnan go, why not tell Alesya. Didn't he want to disturb Alesya who was asleep.
Alesya changed the position that was lying down and now sits leaning on the head of her gurney, but now she wants to lean on her husband's shoulder.
To find out where the husband is. Alesya picked up her phone which was on the table near her safe. There's an incoming message. By Afnan.
"Einy, I went home for a while, because it took Mama and Papa the same Ali also went home to our house to rest, pity them soy sauce, other families also I have told you to go home first. If I miss the same I was arrested first yes. I'll be there soon. I love you Einy."
Alesya smiled as her head gnarled through the messages from her husband. Just know that Alesya already misses him. Alright Alesya will hold back her miss for a moment.
"Assalaamu 'alaikum."
Someone came over to Alesya. He is Silmi Alesya's best friend who has just raised himself. Actually, Silmi wanted to accompany Alesya to the hospital. Only the timing is not right. Her family came to her graduation so Silmi had to be with them to celebrate her graduation day.
"Wa 'alaikumus salaam, Silmi."
With enthusiasm Alesya immediately hugged Silmi. Get rid of the distance that separated them. After a short hug Silmi also turned his gaze towards the two twins who were still asleep.
"God, baby twins?, I don't know."
Silmi was astonished to see the two babies who had just been born from the womb of her best friend. Alesya nodded happily but she had felt guilty for not telling Silmi before. But no surprise for Silmi.
"God does not think I am Al, your twin turns out, what gender?"
"Male and female, God has given him a pair."
Again Silmi was amazed and called Maa shaa Allah's sentence to praise God who is very good to his best friend by leaving twin babies who are a pair, male and female.
"God they're funny, Al I can not carry?"
Alesya happily allowed the single mom to hold her twins. Silmi confuses which baby she will carry. It can't be both either. Finally, after a long time considering Silmi decided to hold a baby girl.
"Bismillah." Say it carefully.
Silmi manages to hold the baby girl who starts to continue to sleep. "Well, my God, you are a beautiful baby, son, who do you look like?, like your mother or your father?" Silmi glanced at Alesya. To see the reaction of Alesya's smiling face towards him.
"It will not look the same again." Gurau Alesya to Silmi whom he made head bobbles.
"Oh yes Al by the way where, why is your room quiet?, where are you going?"
Silmi finally realized that Alesya's room was quiet and silent. No family members filled the room.
"My family again at home all, pity they must be tired because all day will accompany me from graduation until I entered the hospital. Afnan also came home for a while. Come back here again."
Silmi was bearded after knowing the reason Alesya's room was treated to look quiet and silent. Because Alesya's extended family is resting in their respective homes. Then Silmi comes at the right time. Alesya's family was not in the room because she did not want to disturb their togetherness.
∆∆∆∆∆
Alesya has been hospitalized for two days. Doctors have not allowed him to go home because his condition has not recovered properly. Both babies can actually be taken home but if the mother is still in the hospital, the baby should also be in the hospital first. To make it easier for Alesya when giving breast milk to her twins.
Today who is visiting Alesya is from the Afnan family, namely Izma and Zawir. Ziva couldn't see him because he was in college this morning. After returning home from college, Ziva will follow his parents to the hospital to visit his twin nephew who has made him fall in love since he was first born into the world.
Now the baby girl who was temporarily named Princess is being kicked by Omanya. And the baby boy "Son" was also being carried by Opanya. While Ummanya was sitting leaning in her safe while being fed by Afnan who was sitting next to her safe. Since yesterday after giving birth with painstaking Afnan helped Alesya do activities including eating activities. Actually Alesya did not want to trouble Afnan but Afnan was aware that his wife's condition was still recovering so it would be difficult in carrying out his activities. The term Afnan wants to be a husband who is on standby for Alesya and does not rule out the possibility that he will also be a father who is on standby for his twin babies.
"Assalaamu 'alaikum Princess, Omi's favorite grandson, good morning Son, the Princess is being carried with Omi yes, yes?, maa shaa Allah is very beautiful you son, so the gemes Omi." Izma kissed the cheek of the baby girl with his anxiety.
Zawir also did not want to lose to his wife. He also wanted to have his grandson chat for the first time. "Assalaamu 'alaikum Putra, his twin Opi, who inherited his good looks Opi ya Nak, and could be rivaling the good looks of your Opi and Baba."
"Alby, I'm full."
On the sidelines of his breakfast in the morning, Alesya was already feeling full even though the chicken porridge brought by his mother from home was still half left. Yeah how else. Afnan could not force the most important food intake into his wife's body. Understandably his name is also Alesya is still not healthy. His appetite was also disturbed.
"Oh yeah, Afnan, Alesya, are you guys going to use the services of a ngak babysitter to help care for the twins?"
Afnan and Alesya looked at each other for a moment after hearing Izma's question. Until finally they smiled at each other looking at Izma who was waiting for an answer from one of them.
"For now, we don't want to use the services of a Mami babysitter, because Alesya doesn't want to, she wants us to take care of the twins."
Alesya added. "Yes Mami, in shea Allah we can really take care of the twins of course later Mami same Papi also help yes already experienced, hehehe."
"Ready, Papi was even happy if told to take care of this handsome guy." Oceh Zawir enthusiastically stroking the cheek of the baby Son.
Izma smiled gratefully. "Alhamdulillah then, it turns out you think the same as Mami and Papi, it's your baby so you yourself who must take care of it not others, while still being able to take care of yourself why not, so be it, didn't they?"
Alesya agreed with the thought of her mother-in-law who was not much different from her. After all Alesya was happy if she herself took care of her children. They can see their children's development directly. It was the most important moment of his life.
"Oh yes Alesya, you don't want to find a job, son?, you are a graduate, yes who knows you want to be a career woman?"
Izma asked another question related to Alesya. More precisely about life in the future Alesya who has now just held the status of a graduate degree as well as a mother.
It seemed that it was not a difficult question so easily Alesya would answer it. Of course with a mature decision because this concerns his future later.
"Hay Allah Alesya wants to work at home alone Mami." Alesya smiled at Afnan who returned her smile. "Take care of the house, husband and children, the term is a housewife."
On the one hand Izma is happy if Alesya has decided to become a housewife rather than a career woman. But on the other hand Izma was curious about what the reason his daughter-in-law was not interested in working outside. Even though he is a graduate who is certainly easier to get a job.
"If you may know, why do not you intend to work outside Nak?, even you want to be a housewife, you are a graduate."
Alesya spoke again. "The mother also worked, you know Mami, worked in the house, took care of the house, took care of the husband, took care of the children and paid directly with God, not the same man anymore."
Izma who was seriously listening to Alesya now began to be amazed at the thought of her eldest daughter-in-law. Not only Izma who amazed Zawir also now even Afnan has looked at his wife with love and without blinking an inch. As if hypnotized.
"I also wanted to be the first madrassa for my children, teaching them to read the Quran, the religious and general sciences I learned while studying at school and on campus. A mother should be highly educated because she will teach her children. Teachers who only a few hours teach their students in school must be highly educated right, what else a mother who will teach her children from childhood to adulthood should be highly educated. Because an intelligent mother will give birth to intelligent children, in the Shaytah of Allah."
Alesha's narration is quite long but very meaningful to her and to the women outside there. Alesya hoped that not only she had such thoughts but also the future mothers out there. A mother plays an important role in the future of her children. As a poet says in his verse:
الأم مدرسة إذا أعددتَها
أعددتَ شَعْباً طَيِّبَ الأعراق
"Al-ummu madrasatul ula, iza a'dadtaha a'dadta sya'ban thayyibal a'raq."
Meaning: Mother is the primary school, when you prepare for it, then you have prepared the best generation.
"Maa shaa Allah Alesya, Mami's goosebumps hear him, you are indeed a Sholeh Mother, in shea Allah." Praise Izma on the sidelines of her admiration for Alesya.
"Aamiin's." Alesya humbly said and hoped that God would grant it.
Zawir praised him. "God, Alesya, Papi is proud of you, very proud of you, Son."
Afnan who had not turned away from Alesya's beautiful face finally spoke up as well. "God is lucky that I'm a match with you Einy."
Alesya was moved to hear it. The heart of a wife who is not touched when given sweet words from a husband who is loved because of God.
"God, I am also grateful to be your rib. Become a perfecter of your religion. To me you are the most beautiful destiny of my life." Alesya also thanked the beautiful scenario that God laid out for her.
