Love for Almira

54

Almira sat beside the pool while watching Akbar and Amelia who were busy playing water in a special pool of toddlers. While Naura along with Faisal swim in a pool that is one meter to three meters deep.

The pool is quite quiet there are only those who swim there are no other hotel guests who come to swim. Naura swam after her father swimming back and forth in the fifteen-meter swimming pool. Naura's shrewdness in swimming almost matched her father's. Looks like Faisal taught Naura to swim well.

“Bunbun, loam Akbal bica belang,” call Akbar.

Akbar's head was above the water while his body was attached to the pool floor.

“Wah pinter, your child is already good at swimming,” praise Almira.

“Amel it uga bica belenang, Nda,” said Amelia who imitates Akbar style.

“Great, beautiful child Mother can swim.” Almira gave a thumbs up to Amelia.

Naura came to Almira.

“Mother, breakfast is yet to come, yes?” naura asked, seeing that the table was still empty.

“Numbered, Brother. Brother hungry?” ask Almira.

“Iya, Bun. Big brother is hungry,” replied Naura.

Perhaps Naura's energy depleted after swimming following her father, so Naura felt very hungry.

“For a while, Mommy asked Dad first breakfast asked us to deliver at what time.” Almira got up from her seat and approached her husband who was swimming.

“Dad…. Dad....,” Almira calls Faisal.

But Faisal did not hear because he was swimming in the middle of the pool. Almira had to wait for her husband to reach the pool.

“Dad...,” call Almira when Faisal gets to the poolside.

“Why, Bun?”

“Seconds are hungry, when is breakfast coming?” ask Almira.

“Jam eight,” Faisal replied.

“Now what time?” Faisal asked back.

Almira looked at the phone in her hand.

“Jam eight less,” replied Almira.

“Please wait, come soon,” said Faisal.

“Ya already.” Almira left Faisal and returned to her seat.

Faisal continued swimming.

“Say Dad, breakfast is delivered at eight. It's eight o'clock less. Soon also delivered breakfast,” said Almira.

While waiting for Naura to join her sisters in a special pond toddler. Shortly after, several hotel employees approached them carrying trays containing food. The waiters serve food on the table.

“Thank you,” said Almira after the employees finished serving food.

But after some of the employees left there were other employees who came to bring various kinds of drinks.

“Thank you,” said Almira to the employee who brought the drink.

Naura saw breakfast delivered directly to Almira. Akbar and Amelia also came over, they asked for food.

“Nda, Amel he lapal mamam,” said Amelia.

“Amelia and Akbar sit down first, later Mommy feeds.”

Akbar and Amelia climbed onto a long bench that people used to sunbathe. Because that bench is easy for them to ride.

“Mbak-Mbak breakfast first, let my children who bribe,” Almira said to her two babysitters.

“Yes, Mom,” replied Amelia's nanny.

Both caregivers took the breakfast provided. Almira feeds Akbar and Amelia with fried rice. Faisal stopped swimming and approached the children and his wife who were eating.

“Many very breakfast, Bun,” said Faisal saw a variety of foods provided.

“Mothers think Daddy ordered so much breakfast,” replied Almira.

“Daddy just said please breakfast room number four hundred five and four hundred six delivered to the pool. No idea they brought this much food,” Faisal said.

But Naura who was very hungry he devoured all his breakfast rations. So did Faisal devour his breakfast. Father and son starve after swimming.

As they were eating hotel guests who were about to swim began to arrive. Many of them brought small children, so Akbar and Amelia went back into the pool because there was a water playmate. Naura who was full of food just sat around playing water with her sisters. Faisal accompanied his unfinished wife to breakfast.

“What time is it, Mas?” ask Almira.

“Jam nine less,” Faisal replied.

“It's noon, we're back to room.” Almira was about to stand up from her seat but was prevented by Faisal.

“Please breakfast first!” faisal.

“Udah full,” replied Almira.

“Eat a lot, so that later tonight powered to play,” whispered Faisal.

“Ih...what's cape?” ask Almira.

“Ngak dong's. Let alone seeing you wear lingerie, the cap is instantly gone,” whispered Faisal then kissed Almira cheek.

“Mas! Someone will see,” whispered Almira.

“Let everyone know that you are Mas's wife,” Faisal replied.

Almira could only sigh.

Eventually Almira finished her breakfast and drank her juice.

“Had breakfast finished. Let's go back to the room,” invite Almira.

“You are very excited to go back to the room. Can't wait to play Mas, huh? It will be night, play it. If noon Mas want to pray jum”at,” Faisal replied.

“Who is playing? Almira is sleeping. Almira wants to sleep,” protests Almira with anxiety.

“Oh....mau sleep? Tell dong to get sleepy. I think I want to play,” said Faisal without feeling guilty.

“Susah ah, by the way Mas! Thought not far from that,” exclaimed Almira then stood up and approached her children.

“Akbar Amelia has been swimming. It's noon,” Almira said.

“Let's go, Nda. Amel’ia macih au ain,” replied Amelia.

“Let's swim again sometime. Now we have to go back to the room because soon Dad and Akbar want to pray jum’at.” Almira gave her understanding to Amelia.

“Amel’ia uga au colat friday,” says Amelia.

“Sholat jum’at only for men. Amelia prayed the same Mother and sister in the room,” replied Almira.

“Come Amelia listen to Mother!” said Faisal who was standing behind Almira.

“Iya, Aya.” Amelia finally came out of the pool.

Then they all went back to the room.

Almira buttoned Akbar's cocoa shirt. After neatly wearing cocoa clothes, Almira put kopeyah on Akbar's head.

“Aduh gantengnya Bunda's child,” praise Almira while looking at Akbar.

“Who used to dong His father?” chirps Faisal who is watching the mother and the child.

“Iya, father and son are both handsome,” praise Almira.

“Come on Akbar, we leave for the mosque. Later to bad luck,” invite Faisal.

Akbar kissed Almira's hand.

“Acalamualaicum, Bunbun,” says Akbar.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Reply Almira.

Faisal approached Almira.

“Mas go to mosque first.” Then Almira kissed Faisal's hand.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Faisal.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Reply Almira.

Faisal guided Akbar's hand out of the room.

“Contact Bunbun.” Akbar waved his hand.

“Contact, dear.” Almira returned Akbar's hand.

Faisal led Akbar down the aisle to the liff. After Faisal and Akbar moved away, Almira shut the door.
