I'm The One You Throw Out

Obviousness

Time continued, the night came to replace the role of the sun. Black clouds move slowly under the moonlight, preventing it from giving way to darkness.

On the terrace of the small house behind Fatih's restaurant, Seira was sitting staring at him. Reflect on every event that happens in life, spelling out age over time. He smiled, the moon reminded him of when he was expelled first.

Alone and there was only one star accompanying. The rest are far apart and keep their distance from each other. Recalling his duty to tell about Zafran to Rayan, he let out a heavy sigh. Is Rayan ready to accept the reality of who her real father is?

Seira lowered her head, staring at the flat object in hand where Fatih had just called to be home late that night because of a slight problem occurring for tomorrow's event.

"Hopefully everything is smooth there are no problems." He muttered alone, wiping the screen of a cell phone with a picture of their little family.

Seira raised her gaze back, some fireflies came to approach the flowers in the small garden. An already rare beast, let alone in a big city.

"Mom!" Rayan's distinctive hoarse voice waking up distracts the woman of two children.

He smiled, stuck out his hand, pulled the body of the child's child. Sit him on his lap while gently rubbing his hair.

"Why? Is Rayan dreaming again?" tanya Seira moved rubbing her back.

Rayan dropped her head on the mother's chest, wrapped her arms around Seira's body, enjoying the comfort she always had.

"Well, do you know Zaid's story?" rayan asked without lifting his face.

Seira knit an eyebrow, hearing the question from the son.

"Zayd? What's wrong with Zaid, honey?" seira asked, wanting to know what happened to Zaid.

Silent. There was no word from Rayan for a while. Until Rayan's next voice made Seira understand a little.

"No, yeah, lucky guy like Zaid, Mah? The brother said he was the only friend of the prophet who was raised as a child. Lucky, right, Mah?" Rayan kept her head away from Seira's chest, staring at the mother's two beads that always kept her heart at peace.

Hearing that, was it time for Seira to tell Rayan about Zafran. He smiled gently rubbing his son's cheek.

"Oh, there's obviously. They are the chosen ones who are given good luck by God. Have good parents even though they are not real people. What's that big brother's story about Zaid?" said Seira. He wanted to know what Rayan's response to Zaid's story was.

"He said that Zayd was known as Zaid bin Muhammad, but it was forbidden that God would be replaced as Zaid bin Harithah. Why is that, Mamah?" rayan asked increasingly fixedly looking into Seira's eyes.

"Honey, in this world whose name is not only parents who give birth to us. There are parents connect, there are adoptive parents and others, but the name of the parent remains the same obligation on the child. Zaid was not the son of the prophet, he was only an adopted son. It cannot be equated with the lineage of the prophets."

Seira rubbed Rayan's head, something pinched her heart when she remembered Fatih was not Rayan's real father. If and if, but that word won't change everything.

The frown on Rayan's forehead explained her confused self.

"Look, if the sons of the prophet must have been behind him, but since Zaid was not the son of the prophet, he must have been replaced by his father. As a result, bin Harithah was not bin Muhammad anymore because Zaid's father was called Harithah." Seira is confused how to explain it to Rayan regarding the status of parents.

"So, should his father's name be, Mah? Can't you have another name?" his question still did not understand correctly.

"Well, that's the rule. Although he was taken care of by other parents, it was still the same return of biological parents," Seira replied a little pain in the heart when remembering all the treatment Zafran.

Rayan's question was like a barbed mace that hit the recesses of Seira's soul. Where does this kid know all that. Is there anyone who secretly unlocks this secret to her.

"Who said it?" seira asked with a frown on her forehead, her tongue trembling all the way to her heart. Between relief and self-disappointment.

"No, Rayan often dreams of people who say I'm Rayan's father. Who is Rayan's father, Mah?" tanyanya who then quietly waited for an answer.

Seira was unable to answer, she kept silent. His tongue was suddenly unable to move. He just stared at Rayan's eyeballs that moved alternately.

"Kalo Rayan already know, what according to Rayan? What ...."

Seira bit his lips hard, unable to continue the sentence he wanted to say.

"Nothing, papah Fatih remain papah Rayan. Rayan loves Papah," he said very sweet.

Seira hugged the body, shedding tears behind the child's back. Not knowing what to say, he just kept quiet.

"Papah also loves Rayan even though Papah is not Rayan's birth papah." Fatih's voice jolted the two.

The boy turned his head while releasing his embrace from Seira. He walked up to Fatih who had crouched down and hugged him. Seira wiped the tears she had secretly shed and all of that witnessed Fatih who kept glancing at her.

"Rayan dear Papah." The sound of Rayan muttering formed a perfect curved line on Fatih's lips.

Fatih took off a hug, rubbing the two small shoulders with a smile.

"Great son of a servant. Was Rayan disappointed that Papah wasn't Rayan's father?" ask Fatih.

His heart ached a little, but it was also relieved as all of it opened on its own. Moreover, Rayan who can accept reality.

The boy shook his head, he himself did not know what his current feelings were like. All he knew, Fatih had been a good father figure to him all along.

"Papah papah Rayan. Rayan does not want another papah, Rayan only wants Papah Fatih," said Rayan while hugging Fatih again.

Warm feeling spread throughout Fatih's body to his heart. Not that he wanted to seize the position of Zafran as Rayan's real father, but he was already affectionate towards Rayan and considered him not a child continued.

Seira who heard was full, her tears fell again, but the fear slightly disturbed her calmness. May Zafran not take away their happiness. May he accept his destiny.

Seira won't stand in the way of their meeting if fate wants her to, but she won't if Zafran takes over Rayan's custody. After all, Zafran is Rayan's real father and they can't cover up reality. It was better for everyone to be open so as not to become a burden on their hearts.

Muhammad is not the father of any of you, but he is the messenger of Allah and the concluding prophet. And Allah is All-Knowing.
