"Where are you going?"
Bara asked worriedly when she saw Mulan rise while wiping away tears.
"Where are you going!" repeat it while pulling Mulan's hand because the woman was just silent. Bara's pull suddenly made Mulan's step stopped and turned her body to face Bara.
"Deliver!" shout Mulan. The woman jolted Bara's hand violently, but apparently was unable to get Bara to let go. Fuck the sin of resisting the husband's wishes. To hell with the habit of Bara who likes to do violence. He may be fragile, but that does not mean he is weak. If Bara does violence, he will fight. There was no fear on Mulan's face even though Bara was seen tightening her jaw and looking at her with guts.
Mulan growls. He stared back at Bara's eyes. "Deliver! Let me find Rayyan!"
For a moment Bara was flabbergasted, and then the man shook his head in disbelief. "You still think I'm the one who hid Rayyan?"
"Who else!" muan said with his cynicism.
"Go back to bed" said Bara, raising his chin. It seems that Bara is a type of human who does not talk much. Trying to calm down even though his anger wants to explode. Her tone also weakened despite Mulan's defiant gaze.
"No!" reject Mulan for a moment. I don't know what Bara told him to go back to bed, but what is clear is that he can make his hair bristle. For whatever reason, he wasn't ready to do their first night. Mulan believes Bara has no love for her. It was not impossible if the man would only make it as an impingement.
Bara is noiseless. However, the eagle's sharp gaze successfully made Mulan feel intimidated to the point of pulling her legs back two steps from her place.
I don't know where the snobbery of Mulan a moment ago. Seeing Bara suddenly step forward undaunted, the woman sobbed bitterly and begged with pity as she cupped her hands together. "Let me go. Please ...."
Bara did not press Mulan's plea. Instead, the man lifted Mulan's body without any weight and threw her back in the middle of the bed.
Mulan was crying in despair. Looks like tonight she's really gonna be eaten by Bara.
However, Mulan's fear was broken by the orders of Bara who did not want to get a rebuttal.
"Sleep now! Just a step away from there, then you won't be able to meet Rayyan!"
Bara stepped out in haste after blurting out the threat. He even closed the door half slammed.
Mulan is alone. The woman sobbed little while sitting hugging her knees. If only he could see Rayyan for a second, he might feel calmer.
"Rayyan .. Where are you, dear."
***
Mulan does not find Bara by her side after waking from her early morning sleep. Looks like the guy didn't go back to the room after he died last night. The woman finally let out a long sigh then tilted her body towards the left. Pull back the thick blanket that was exposed to cover his body up to the neck.
What else he can do besides sleep. Bara is her husband. The man's threat must be heeded if he still wants to meet Rayyan. Didn't Bara forbid him from going there last night? Hopefully the man does not forget his obligation to lift the serious threat.
Mulan heard the sound of the door opening. I don't know who's coming. Mulan lazily watched him. The woman did not move and closed her eyes as if she was still sleeping.
Silent. No sound after that. Only the movement of the mattress bounces slowly. Looks like someone's getting on the bed. The figure then sat attached to his back. Could it be Bara? I don't know. He obviously refused to open his eyes.
Mulan suddenly felt a soft touch in her hair. Is this really Bara? But it felt like it wasn't an adult's hand rub. It feels more like a soft touch of a child's hand. He had used to feel the swipe from Rayyan before the boy left until now, of course it made Mulan very understanding.
Uh wait. Rayyan's? Rayyan??Don't-don't ....
Mulan instantly opened her eyes wide without even turning her head. He was trying to figure out what he was thinking about what he had just felt. Not yet had he turned his head, suddenly a gentle kiss landed right on his right cheek.
"Mama. I love you."
That sound? The voice that whispered in his ear was exactly like Rayyan. Mulan's eyes instantly widened. It's like he doesn't believe. "Rayyan?" shaky. His breath was like a snort.
Mulan doesn't want to believe it. It's still morning, lest he just dream. He is too afraid to accept the reality if it turns out that this is only his hallucination.
"Mama. I love you." Rayyan's voice rang out again, forcing Mulan to turn her head to the right, and ....
"Mrs ...." Rayyan's smiling adorable face immediately greeted him. So good-looking. Even more handsome than before.
"Rayyan?" lirih Mulan's. The woman then moved around her body with an expression that was difficult to explain. Breath hunting. Eyes glazed. His outstretched hand stroked Rayyan's cheek with a look of disbelief. Could this be a dream? But Rayyan's face could be touched. Even smiled sweetly at him.
"Mrs .... Is Mama sick?" The question finally dawned on Mulan if this was real, so the woman hurriedly hugged Rayyan and burst into tears.
"Rayyan ...!" call him sedu sedan. "Rayyan where have you been? Mama misses Rayyan" he said without letting go of hugs.
"Mrs ...." Rayyan's tiny hand rubbed Mulan's back affectionately. He is still a child, but Rayyan has the determination to protect his mother and provide comfort. "Don't cry anymore, Mama. Rayyan is here. Sorry, because Rayyan's been busy walking around until she didn't get to see Mama."
"Walk?" Mulan parsed her embrace and looked at Rayyan full of question marks. The boy nodded, confirming Mulan's question.
"Yes, Ma."
"Who?"
"Mom."
"Oma?"
"Hu'um." Rayyan assured. "Oma ngajak Rayyan take a walk to many places, Ma. Beautifully. Rayyan took a plane very far. Rayyan to bobo in the plane."
Speechless, Mulan sat down limply to release Rayyan. The woman's eyes glazed over, then her hands involuntarily squeezed the white bed-wrapping sheet.
Is this the reason Bara never met him with Rayyan? During this time Rayyan was busy with holiday activities, inversely proportional to what he had been thinking.
Look at his son now. Rayyan looks a lot better than before. This is a sign that the Bara family treats Rayyan very well even without her. And what himself? Can only be suspicious and defiant of Bara.
Instantly the sense of sin was lodged in the depths of Mulan's heart. Shame and regret. If only he had not been so bad-minded towards Bara ....
"Darling, who's Rayyan here with?" ask Mulan later.
"Together Oma. Rayyan has also met Papa."
"Meet Papa?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Mulan's eyes instantly showed a twinkle. The woman thought of something.
"Rayyan, wait here for a second, yeah. Mom's coming back here soon." Mulan looked on before rising up.
"Where are you going?" asked Rayyan innocently.
"Mom should see Papa, honey. There's something you want to talk about."
"Tt–but, Ma!"
Mulan did not speak to Rayyan. The woman ran out of the room and lifted her night dress.
