Girl For The Widow

104

"Alhamdulillah I'm fine. And, Habibah how are you?" Keynand was finally able to answer. He felt his tone was not normal, there was a rhythm of nervousness there. Although trying to be as normal as possible, but felt very obvious. One hope that Habibah does not realize it.

"Alhamdulillah I am fine," replied Habibah flatly. There was no wave in his voice. Sounds soft and melodious. The sound managed to pamper the ears of anyone who heard it including Keynand. The handsome Duda's heart rippled back, the sigh as if teasing him and making him waver.

"Have you been there long?" Ask Habibah back. The question seemed to pat Keynand on the shoulder to wake up from his daydream.

"Just Bibah. Oh yeah I'm sorry for surprising you guys. All of a sudden we showed up without a hint before," Keynand replied feeling unwell.

"It's okay, we are even happy to be visited by Mr. Keynand and his family" said Habibah kindly.

"Masyaa Allah, there is also Raski who came," he continued as soon as he saw Raski who had sat with Renia beside him.

"Yes Bibah, let's take the kids. My goal is actually to visit one of the ponds in this Village I continue to hear this Village Tourism Village so there is no harm in inviting children, all holidays are like that." Keynand explains the purpose of his arrival. Of course it was just an excuse to cover up the real intent.

"Sister Renia and Dadk Raski, these acquaintances are Aunt Habibah. Aunt Habibah had nolongin Dadek Raski when almost drowned on the beach. Dadek Raski and Sister Renia greet dong with Aunt Habibah," said Keynand introduced Habibah to his two children.

Raski first shake hands. The boy kissed the back of Habibah's hand with reverence and then scattered himself in Habibah's arms.

The woman was shocked and unprepared to accept Raski's body which suddenly scattered. It was fortunate that he managed to balance himself so that Raski's body landed right on his lap.

"Mom" called Raski clearly in Habibah's ear.

"Mom, Raski misses Mom" he said.

The shrill voice made Keynand syock. While Habibah was speechless unable to say anything. There was a sense of peace as he embraced the tiny body. Raski's call made her motherly side turbulent. He wanted to hold Raski and devote all of her affection, love and attention.

Honestly, she misses the sound of the baby crying and when she can talk her baby will call her Mom.

But his longing must be buried deep at this time. And, cultivating patience in every second. For to this day the gift has not been entrusted to him and the Husband.

It's been a few months of marriage, maybe almost a year, as long as there's no sign she'll soon be pregnant.

"Mom," call Raski back.

"Dear, Mom is also missing" replied Habibah. Unknowingly her tears were seeping in her brown cheeks. There was a newness just like that when Raski called her Mom. The call was able to treat her longing all along. Missing the presence of a baby in her womb.

"Dear, Dadek Raski can take Aunt as her Mommy. How about we call it Inaq? Agreed, right?" Habibah proposed.

Hearing that Raski unravels the hug. Then formed a smile so beautiful with dimples on both cheeks. A moment later came the sound of excitement from his bare lips.

"Horeeeeeee."

Renia who was beside him laughed happily. He then took Habibah's hand and kissed her with reverence.

Habibah was very moved by the treatment of the two great children. Her handstrapped to Renia's head in prayer. As the prayer was finished, the tenderness of the brain moved to the top of Raski's head with the same prayer.

"Why are you lonely? Where are Mr Rizqy and Qia?" Tanya Keynand shifted the novelty. He could not bear to see his son who missed the Mother Figure so much. Although Lika has bestowed her affection, love and concern as a Mother to Renia and Raski. But in reality Raski misses her Bladder. Now meeting with Habibah, Raski unconsciously considers Habibah like her birth Mother.

Keynand was dissolved in the novelty. Longing for his late wife to be present just like that. His smile flashed in his mind.

"Honey," she said in her heart.

Hearing the question hurriedly Habibah wiped away the tears that had dripped just like that. With a smile she was willing to reconcile her sad heart. After his mood improved, the woman said, Then,

"Mas Rizqy is still at school. He came home later in the afternoon while Qia I had not met him after school. He said he wanted to go for a walk, maybe he hasn't come back yet."

Keynand nodded in understanding.

"I'm sorry, so engrossed in chatting I forgot to serve drinks and snacks," said Habibah unwell.

"Not bother mbak Habibah if there are in all out," said Riski with a smile knot.

Habibah laughed a little. He knew it was a joke that was often made by someone who knew each other.

Habibah then walked towards a room that turned out to be the Kitchen.

After a few minutes Habibah returned with a tray in both hands. She serves coffee drinks for Keynand, Tea for Riski and Milk for Renia and Raski. Not to miss the snack in the form of boiled Corn, Banana and Papaya that have been cut into small pieces.

"Please, sorry so much, this is what the dishes in the village are like" Habibah said after putting the dish in front of them.

"Thank you mbak Habibah, this alone has been appetizing," said Riski sincerely.

"Yes Habibah, this is enough. Once again I'm sorry for the inconvenience" added Keynand.

Habibah just nodded.

Next they were engrossed in the conversation. Keynand asked about what potential there is in this Village. Pun with Riski do not miss taking part in their exciting conversation. As they focused on the chatter, there were footsteps approaching towards the house in Habibah.

"That must have been Qia home" Habibah said, suspecting that the approaching Footstep was Rizqia.

Riski spontaneously placed her hand on Keynand's chest to determine the heart's reaction.

"It seems like playing the band drum or playing Beleq drum sounds too loud," said Riski whispered in the Ear scared heard by Habibah.

Keynand reflexively flicked the hand and clenched Riski's head hard.

"Oh," cried the Bujang and stroked his head with an unpleasant look in sight.

Habibah when he heard the voice immediately turned his gaze towards Riski with a slight bow. Tanya implied on the look in her eyes.

Riski spontaneously scratched his goosebump nape. Highlight Keynand's eyes that made the fine fur on his nape suddenly stand up straight.

Unanswered, Habibah's gaze turned to Keynand's face. Getting a look so fast made Keynand misbehave.

Who will be responsible for this heart disorder? Keynand bathed in lethargy.

"Sir Brother, you're home? Whose car is this? Are there any guests?" ask a girl who suddenly appeared from the side.

Deg

Keynand's heart is getting messed up. The man tried to reconcile his increasingly unreasonable beat.

"Grogy ni yeee?" Riski. A smile fell on his lips as if mocking Keynand.

"Yes Dek, this is our special guest. He said he wanted to look for Qia" Habibah replied with a smile. Though Keynand never said his purpose was to meet with Rizqia, but Habibah had concluded like that. The reason for visiting the Shrimp Pond is just a guise, that is the belief of the Woman.

"Any Keynand?"

Seriate.
