116. Bayan Home

Mak Ejah is seen sitting on the beach while staring into the open sea. Her pale face was puffy from crying too much. The scarf he used to cover his head let fall on his shoulder. His hair also looks he let loose just like that.

Ever since he found out that Fikri was his lost son, Mak Ejah has since continued to regret himself. The shadow when he hurt Ayu then took the fetus from her womb back across and it made her sick.

"Had his blood felt different. I can hardly enjoy his blood even if I want to. It turned out .., the blood was my own Granddaughter's blood," murmured Mak Ejah as he rubbed his wet eyes.

Mak Ejah turned his head when he saw a toddler of Arafah's age running small on the sand. The cute boy fell down many times and got up again with a happy laugh. Behind him, the father ran after him to make the toddler scream again.

Mak Ejah seems to smile bitterly considering Arafah is as funny as the child. Mak Ejah is confused, why he does not realize the man who is with Ayu is Saba. As if remembering something, Mak Ejah also seemed to think hard.

"Wait a minute. Why isn't his name Saba ?. I heard people call him Fikri. Did you forget that I asked you to give the name Saba to my Son ?. So it's not my fault that I don't recognize my Son" murmured Mak Ejah as he stepped down the beach.

On the other side of the same beach.

Bayan was sitting while observing the sea. Every now and then Bayan took a deep breath to dispel his anxiety.

"Would have gone home. You've been hiding Yan for too long" Jojo said.

"Lo ngusir I ?" ask Bayan not like it.

"As far as you want to say what. Honestly I'm not comfortable sitting with people whose minds are not here" said Jojo ketus.

"What do you mean Jo ?" ask Bayan pretending not to understand.

"It's been over a month Yan. Let's not go home, but you're watching them from afar. That means Lo still cares about them, right ?. Lo ga tired of hiding rich gini. If hiding doesn't solve the problem, it's better to go home. Kasian Anna's. He must be confused left without that rich message. Good thing your kids are mature and reliable. So Anna wasn't too hit by being shunned by her own husband for something that wasn't her fault" Jojo said, sneering.

Bayan gasped at her cousin's words. He did stay away because he was disturbed by the presence of the woman who said Rosiana's adoptive mother. And Bayan tries to find out who the woman really is through her confidants. But nil. Until now who Mak Ejah really is also never known.

Then Bayan remembered Anna, the wife he had left for peace. She may lie to others and say everything is fine. But Bayan can't lie to his heart. He missed his wife and two children.

Bayan took a long breath. After rubbing his face, Bayan stood up. Jojo turned his head towards him while frowning.

"Why?, why Lo ?" ask Jojo.

"Ga. I want to go home" said Bayan quickly to make Jojo smile.

"good. Say hello to Anna and the kids" Jojo said.

"OK," said Bayan as he passed.

Jojo smiled to let Bayan go. He recalled the first time Bayan came in a shabby and messy condition. Jojo thought Bayan had an accident. But when Bayan explains what happened, Jojo understands.

During the month Bayan hid in his house, Jojo always saw Bayan who was restless and busy calling. Jojo knew it was Bayan's way of controlling everyone including his company.

And hearing Bayan was coming home made Jojo happy. He knew that being with his wife and children was the source of Bayan's happiness.

Jojo waved his hand as Bayan called out his name while waving at him. After that Bayan got into a car that was out of nowhere since when he had come to pick up. A moment later the car drove off the beach accompanied by Jojo's expanding smile.

When Bayan's car was unseen again, Jojo let out a deep sigh and turned his body. Jojo intends to continue his weekend activities of fishing.

But Jojo stopped his steps as his eyes looked at the woman walking by the beach alone. Jojo could guess if the woman was upset. As a volunteer at the beach, Jojo memorized how the characteristics of people who are depressed because he often obstructs residents who intend to end their lives on the beach.

"Why on this beach. Can't find another beach for suicide" jojo grumbled as he ran toward the woman who was walking towards the sea.

The situation of the beach that began to be quiet and abandoned by the residents because it was the day before night, making the woman free to launch the action. But before his intention was fulfilled, a hand managed to pull him and then bring him to the edge.

"You want to kill yourself, not here. Free !. The waves and corals are small. Find another place that is choppy big and many of its corals so that you can immediately die from being carried away by the waves or hit by the coral !" jojo said annoyed.

The woman nodded and screamed in anger. He felt annoyed because the intention to self-harm as a form of punishment was hindered by someone. After arriving by the beach, the woman turned to the man who kept scolding her.

"You ?!" jojo and the woman said at the same time.

The woman stood up and shook her wet hair. Then the woman stepped slowly away from the beach. Jojo stared at the woman's departure with a look of disbelief and a pounding heart.

As if he realized that he had let the woman go, Jojo chased after the woman.

"Wait !" call Jojo.

"Don't follow me Jo. Let's just say we never met !" the woman said without looking.

Jojo stops and lets the woman pass. He rubbed his face once more while dhikr.

"God's Masya. That's it ..," Jojo murmured many times as he stepped in the opposite direction to the woman he helped earlier.

Bayan was on his way home after cleaning himself and changing clothes in the SPBU toilet earlier.

Bayan seemed to stumble into a smile imagining his meeting with his son and wife later. It seems that Bayan was ready to bear the anger of his wife.

Upon entering the road to the house, Bayan saw a crowd in one of his neighbor's houses.

"What's up there Nus ?" ask Bayan.

"For there is tasyakuran to enter the new house Sir," said Jonah.

"Oh, Mr. Beni's house has been well-known" Bayan said.

"Yes Sir. Mas Nathan and Mas Nicko are also familiar with the same who bought the house. They even helped with the move" Jonah said, making Bayan smile.

"Well that's Mas Nathan and Nicko Pak !" yunus said as he pointed towards the two young men who were busy greeting the citizens.

Bayan nodded too. He looked at his two children with a look of admiration. And Bayan's smile grew even more when he saw Anna standing on the porch. Bayan rushed down and hugged his wife tightly.

Even the shocked Anna could only freeze in her husband's arms. But only for a moment. Because the next second Anna's cry broke.

"You come home Father ..," whispered Anna softly as she hugged her husband tightly.

"Yes Bund. I'm h-home. I'm sorry, baby" Bayan said, kissing Anna's head in affection.

"Don't go again, Dad. Don't stay I was rich yesterday. If I'm wrong, please tell me but don't leave without news" Anna asked as she unraveled her embrace.

"Yes Bund. I promise I won't be rich again" Bayan said, then hugged his wife again.

Bayan and Anna will step inside the house when Nathan and Nicko arrive.

"Dad ...!" call Nathan and Nicko together.

Bayan looked and smiled. He also spread out his hands and greeted the two children.

"Hi Children. How are you ?" greet Bayan.

Nathan and Nicko slammed into his father's arms. Anna who watched the action of her son and husband also smiled happily.
