...Assalamualaik......

...Happy Reading......

After 3 days of postpartum care in the hospital, doctors finally allowed Zara and her baby to go home today.

"You want to go straight home by yourself? No plans to do it at Mama's house or at your Mother's house first? Mama can help take care of your baby" she told Arkan and Zara.

"Mama, it's not good to interfere too much in their household affairs. Let them by their own decision" Papa scolded.

"Yes sorry Pa. But yes, this grandmother still wants a long time with her grandson," said Mama.

"Mama will often play at home" said Zara.

"Ah is right. It's okay if every day Mama goes to your house. If you need Mama, take it later."

"Want to play or do you want to dance?" arkan said that was bothering the baby in Zara's arms.

"That's not to be bothered by it."

"Let's sleep Mama's granddaughter." scolded Mama.

"Yes he sleeps on and on darling," Arkan said, subconsciously calling Zara dear. And still kissing her son. Zara's face became blushing hearing what Arkan had just said. While Mama and Papa just silent temple did not see for fear Zara getting embarrassed.

"Yes, baby is sleeping and keep Arkan" said Mama.

"Udah ah's. Administration has all gone wrong yet Bang?" ask papa.

"Udah is."

"Jaudah hayu ah home.  Why stay at home for a long time in the hospital," said Mama.

Arkan and Zara split up the car with Papa and Mama.  Because Papa and Mama will have another event after this he said.

"Focus in front of Mas," Zara scolded Arkan because she always looked at Zara and her baby.

"Yes yes."

It wasn't until 30 minutes that they got home. Arkan comes down first and opens the door for Zara. Zara was surprised to see it, this was the first time Arkan had done such a thing.

Don't Zara don't be so confident, who knows this was done just because of the baby. It's not that Arkan is starting to melt on Zara.

"Slow down" said Arkan, guiding Zara's hand.

"Zara is not what you are. Don't worry" Zara replied.

"I'm worried about my son" Arkan said.

Zara just smiled.

"Assalamualaikum" Zara and Arkan said as they entered the house.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Eh Mas Arkan and Mbak Zara have come home. Thank God now there is a small boss too" Bude said.

"Yes Bude. Bude what is this?" ask Zara.

"Bude just finished cooking Ma'am. Would you like to eat first?"

"Zara wants boboin dede first Bude. Zara, excuse me to go to the room."

"Oh yes please."

Zara went to the room first while Arkan was still taking care of their luggage.

"Zara to Bude's room?" ask Arkan.

"Yes Mas, he said he wanted to boboin dede first."

"Oh yes. Thanks Bude."

Arkan immediately followed Zara and her son to the room. Arkan saw Zara standing next to their son's crate while looking at her and occasionally rubbing Zayyan's puffed cheeks.

"Play him? Not inferior to me is it his looks?" ask Arkan who is already standing behind Zara.

"Hmm" Zara replied.

"I'd like to name our son Zayyan Raffa Khairy. Can you?"

"Can. What a good name," said Zara while looking at Arkan.

"So we officially name it?" ask Arkan.

"Yes Zara agreed."

"We call him Zayyan?" ask Arkan.

"If Raffa?" tawang Zara's

"If it is called Raffa when it can not say the letter R then he will have difficulty calling his own name. Like I used to."

"What's the matter?"

"You forgot your own husband's name?"

"Aren't Rafka Khairy?"

"Hm. Until kindergarten I haven't been able to name myself properly," Arkan said. Zara smiled as she imagined Arkan saying her own name when she could not yet pronounce the letter R, 'Alkan Lafka Khaily,'

"Why smile smile?"

"No."

"Mas Zara can you ask me?" ask Zara in a more serious tone.

"Please," Arkan said, remaining calm.

"Mas, if only that time was one of us who could be saved and the doctor gave the mas a choice. Who will choose whom?"

"Why do you ask that? The proof is now that you two are fine with me. And I will try to keep you both safe" Arkan said.

"If only you could choose one of them answer dong."

"That's not an option, the important thing is now that you're just as safe."

"Mas please answer first. It's hard to answer that."

"Is that important?"

"Please." persuaded Zara as he looked up at Arkan.

"I don't like your question" Arkan said in a cold tone.

"Mas please" said Zara pleading.  Arkan seemed to think.

"I choose you" Arkan replied firmly.

"Why? Don't you want to see this funny guy? " ask Zara again.

"You're the one who told me to choose?"

"Well, why would you prefer Zara?"

"Because I'd rather lose something I've never had. If I choose him then I will lose you and I will see him great without his mother's affection it will hurt. Whereas if I choose you I can make more baby babies" replied Arkan. Zara smiled at Arkan's reply her face must have turned red by now. Without thinking Zara immediately hugged Arkan. For a while they enjoyed each other's position.

"Mas Zara can ask for something the same mas?" ask Zara.

"What?" ask Arkan.

"At first Zara tried to be comfortable with this but now especially after there was him. How come Zara's ears are not comfortable with her."

"Zara wants me not to tell me me anymore. Not good to know mas feel again in the official forum between superiors and subordinates or lecturers and students. At first Zara didn't want to make it, but now it looks like she has to force Zara."

"I try."

"I am again" said Zara as she swept her lips.

"I'm not used to it yet."

"They're getting used to it."

"I'm hungry. Let's eat."

"No want. If I'm still."

"Zara?"

"What?"

"Let's eat hungry."

"Who's hungry?"

"I."

"Ck. Eat alone."

"Zara let's eat. Mas hungry," Arkan said as he scratched his nape. Arkan is nervous because he is not used to calling himself Mas.

"Wouldn't it be sweet? It's true husband and wife." said Zara, then hid her face in Arkan's chest.

"You mean we weren't husband and wife all this time? How can I be horrified, unlike husband and wife, there can be a baby in the middle of us."

"I'm me again."

"I'm sorry, honey, you're not used to it" Arkan said.  Instead of continuing the anger, Zara's face turned red with embarrassment now.

"Haha you should also get used to that call right now" Arkan said as he rubbed Zara's flushed cheeks.

The embarrassed Zara immediately hid her face again into Arkan's chest.

The presence of Zayyan did change Arkan and Zara a lot at the end of this. Counted already 2 months Zayyan was in the middle of them. They are not ashamed anymore to be more open to convey what each feels. Communication is getting better, although Arkan still remains with its cold and authoritarian character because it has indeed become the basic character of Arkan.

Arkan wants to make amends months or even a year after getting married he barely has quality time together with Zara. During that time they were busy convincing each other of themselves to accept but without any real effort. Now that Zayyan is no longer the time to convince themselves, it is time for them to work hand in hand to make this ark a beautiful ark that will lead them to Jannah.

"Honey, tonight we put Zayyan in the mother's house first" Arkan said while accompanying Zara breastfeeding Zayyan.

"Why?" ask Zara.

"Mas wants us to have time for quality time together. A year we were married we were busy convincing each other ourselves we forgot that we were both alive. We are bound and that bond every day must be tightened so that when there is one small movement our bond will not be easily broken" Arkan said.

"Since when has Zara's cold, authoritarian husband become so sweet?"

"But Zara has not yet lost Zayyan. How will ASI try?"

"What a thing, baby. Just a day, once a week Zayyan was left no problem. Asin later you can pump a few bottles for Zayyan stock at the same time. It was precisely this opportunity before the great Zayyan. Before later he can whine do not want to be left and others. And another one doesn't want to be denied" Arkan said.

"Huuh Zara can what if Mas has started to be authoritarian so?"

"You can't do anything other than follow your will" Arkan replied.

"Jaudah tuh. Zayyan was full to drink here let Zayyan same mas. You're ready for Zayyan's death. This afternoon we anterin Zayyan to the mother's house."

"But, where are we going?" ask Arkan.

"Where was. Obviously we need quality time together" Arkan said.

"Next week, yes." hail Zara.

"Zara" Arkan said directly in his cold tone.

"Yes yes. Start getting worse."

At 16:00 They are ready to leave Zayyan to Mother's house. But Zara came back with her turmoil.

"Mas is next week. Please promise me next week we'll go but not now."

"You are up to you" Arkan replied as he left Zara.

Zara's already puffed up that way Arkan must be angry. Zara immediately rushed after Arkan while carrying Zayyan.

"Ih wait. Yes, we're leaving" Zara said after catching up with Arkan.

"Effort if you don't want to." replied Arkan flatly.

"Zara doesn't want to.."

"I'm just trying to fix Zara, I'm aware of problems that before happened because misunderstandings and misunderstandings are the source of poor communication. I'm trying to fix all that I want time for us not just to want two but I want to have time for us to be able to communicate with each other in one eye to the exclusion of the first thing others. I know we're just as human with ego and high prestige and I think with a lot of time we have time to talk together maybe we can better understand what each wants us to do it does not always clash with each other's ego. But if what I want is hard for you. Okay, I'm not going to make it" Arkan said back in his native language.

"Yes, I don't need to get angry. Yes Zara wants, this is hold Zayyan first Zara wants to take a bag first in the room.  Gausah snuck his face. Shame on his son" said Zara, handing Zayyan over to Arkan.

"Smile dong," said Zara as she rubbed Arkan's cheek.

Finally with a little drama Arkan angry they also have a chance to go together.

"Where are we going, Dad?" zara asked a little teasing Arkan who had delivered Zayyan since then was still cold.

"Don't be angry. It will not be nice to walk too if silent like this," pinta Zara who was not responded by Arkan.

Tonight they really spent time together. Like a couple in general. Starting with a walk around the mall, dinner is really intimate and this is where Arkan really uses the time to be able to share about anything. Speak four eyes and from day to day. Then the peak is that they watch movies in the cinema at the last movie screening even when the cinema is almost closed.

Now they are home. They're getting ready to go to sleep.

"Look at the people we've seen we know" Zara said.

"You are the kegeeran."

"I really know. Maybe they thought we were dating again."

"It's a date."

"What do you say dating? After Zayyan?"

"Is it not wrong to date after having children?"

"So you want us to go out?"

"Hmm, it's like."

"Judah we're dating."

"So now have a girlfriend?" arkan said raising his eyebrows while continuing to close his body to Zara and bring his face closer to Zara's face. As she got closer, Zara covered Arkan's face with her palm.

"Our aim is that we can't date deket deket."

"Huh?"

"Yes, she wants to date."

"Dear God," said Arkan.

"Yaudah is not dating. We are husband and wife legally in religion and country" Arkan said and immediately embraced Zara and turned off the lights beside her bed.
