The night sky is so dark accompanied by the roar of lightning and the whistling of rain that falls to wet the earth. Just like two eyes that continue to emit white circles that wet the cheeks. His lips continued to say the sentence istighfar and fingers that continued to play the prayer beads. There is only a thread of prayer offered to the creator to ask forgiveness for the sins he has committed so far.
The sound of lightning grew louder, making the two twins wake up from their sleep, and immediately run towards their mother's room.
Kean and Lean knocked on Dira's room door loudly, hearing a loud knock from behind the door. Making Dira stop his dhikr, and immediately get up from his seat to open the door.
Seeing that the door had been opened Kean and Lean immediately hugged Dira tightly. Seeing that, Dira also immediately returned their embrace. Dira knew, that right now they were frightened by the roar of lightning so loud. For some reason, since childhood Kean and Lean were so afraid of the sound of lightning.
"Quiet yeah…. Mama is here! Said Dira while calming the two twin sons.
" Lean is afraid ma…. "
" Kean too, Lightning is so strong! "catch Kean.
" Yes…. Mama knows, now we go in first yeah."he told Kean and Lean. While they walked by hugging Dira tightly.
Seeing them like this, made Dira smile and feel very happy because they look like children her age. When afraid to take refuge immediately looking for his mother.
After getting on the bed, Kean, Lean still hugged Dira and asked to accompany them to sleep.
Dira smiled and nodded his head, immediately he opened the face he was still wearing and immediately hugged his two frightened twins under the blanket.
By singing Islamic songs and sholawat, they finally fell asleep together while hugging.
On the other hand, it looks like a man has just finished his work. Even though the clock has shown at 2 am. He began to stretch his hand and body muscles, then walked towards the bedroom.
Arriving in the room, he immediately laid his body on the soft mattress.
"Ah... Tired once.." murmured which began to close his eyes until he finally fell asleep in the dream.
......................
The rain and the thunderous sound of lightning had disappeared, the remaining dew and water droplets still attached to the branches as well as the leaves made them look wet. The dawn of the shodiq has begun to appear, signifying that the night is gone and the dawn has arrived. Likewise with the sound of dawn prayer that reverberates break the silence of the night and the hustle and bustle of Jakarta.
Kean began to blink his eyes, seeing Lean and his mother still asleep. Slowly Kean woke Lean up, and whispered "Decks, it's dawn, wake up. It's time we made a surprise for mama!" whispered Kean in Lean's ear.
Hearing Kean's whisper, Lean began to open her eyes which still felt sleepy. But, he remembered that today was his mother's birthday, and they had not had time to give a surprise, because last night there was a very frightening lightning sound.
They got out of bed cautiously, afraid that her mother would wake up. Then, they walked over and opened the door very slowly.
Arriving in the kitchen, Kean picks up a tart in the refrigerator, which they had stored last night when they saw Dira was asleep. They know very well the habits of his mother, if he had gone into the room to sleep, he would not come out until the end of the morning prayer. Therefore, they react when their mother is asleep
Kean and Lean also did not forget to take a gift that they had prepared, in advance.
Dira was surprised and also moved when he saw his two twins enter the room with a birthday cake in the room. Kean and Lean also sang Mabruk alfa Mabruk….
"Barakallah fii Umrik mama.." exclaimed Kean and Lean….
Not feeling Dira's tears dripping because touched, Dira stretched her hands showing that she wanted to hug her children. Seeing that, Kean immediately kept the tart on the nightstand, and hugged his mother.
"Thank you guardian angel mama.." said Dira.
"Together, Kean hops that Mama will always be healthy, live long, and always be happy" Kean said in Dira's ear and kissed her mother's cheek.
"The same prayer from Lean and…. Hope you get married to papa ken soon!" add Lean by peeping Dira.
Lean's words made Dira forced to give a fake smile. His heart felt slightly slashed considering who Ken really was. But, on the other hand He did not want to make Lean disappointed and sad. I don't know, his heart is currently in the Dilemma between still accepting Ken or not. Because Dira also needs time to be able to accept everything and be able to decide what will happen next between accepting or rejecting!.
Everything must be considered well, because Dira does not want to be selfish. After all, Ken remains Kean and Lean's biological father.
"Oh, yes, we also have a gift for mama," said Kean who opened a box in his hand. A necklace with a pendant bearing his name 'Anindira' . Lean gave me a paper roll.
Dira took the necklace and put it on." "What a beauty!" he said by holding the locket.
then Dira opened a roll of paper tied with tape. A complete family painting was painted there, with mama, papa, Kean and Lean. A painting that made Dira freeze, only able to smile and re-hugging her twin sons.
Dira never thought that his five-year-old son would give a gift that was so meaningful.
Clear circles dripped back on his cheeks, really they were not like 5-year-olds. Mama still wants to see you guys like 5-year-olds in general. Is it because you grew up without a father? So, you're acting more mature than kids your age? Forgive me, because I have not been able to give a whole family to you. I just hope that at my age, you can be a good mother to both of you. Because you are the world of mama and everything for mama in this world. If there's not two of you, somehow it's mama's fate. May you grow up to be good, good and healthy children always. I love you guardian angel mom.
"Yes already.we pray at dawn first yes" invited Dira who is embraced by Kean and Lean.
......................
The morning was equal, the sunlight had risen and the sound of alarm had also rang since. Ken began to open his eyes and fumble to find where his phone is. The clock on the screen shows at half 7 a.m.
"God.... Why am I getting up late! I want to surprise Dira!"ken's headed to the bathroom.
