Ardi returns to pick up Alya with Aura. They will have lunch together before delivering Alya on duty at the clinic. The little princess looks comfortable and enjoys her time outdoors, even if only limited to in the car. They were waiting for Alya who was coming down from her room.
This morning, Ardi was unable to get Alya to his room, as there was Aura with him. He did not want to bring his daughter into the hospital while Aura's condition was quite stable and fairly healthy. The man was afraid that Aura would be exposed to various viruses that were susceptible to attack the frail body of his tiny baby just recovered from his illness.
"Today we'll spend time with your Mother, because tomorrow morning we have to go home, dear." Aura just laughed without knowing what her father meant. As the tiny baby knew, he was happy every time he met Alya and felt the affection that his Bubunya gave him sincerely.
Within ten minutes of waiting, Alya was seen coming out of the hospital lobby and walking towards the car that Ardi was driving. Ardi immediately came out to open the door for Alya as well as remove and move the baby chair used by Aura and keep it in the back seat.
The aura that Ardi carried seemed to be getting more cheerful when he saw Alya walking over to him. Both tiny hands have been stretched forward and his body continues to move in the arms of the father, impatiently want to be immediately embraced and carried by the woman he called Bubu.
"Bw-bu ... Bu-bu .. aaa .. aaaa ...."
Aura was increasingly struggling and shouting when Alya was already standing before Ardi. Alya's favorite baby can't wait to move into the arms of a woman who looks to be tidying up her hijab to be safer and not interested in falling apart when Aura is with her.
"Come, here. Well ... come with Auntie, don't fuss anymore, honey. Uuumm ...!!" Alya began to smell the cheeks of tomatoes Aura alternating endlessly making Ardi even more moved.
"Not Aunt. But Mother." Ardi replicates the words of Alya who still mentions herself Aunty to her little daughter.
Alya turned to Ardi who was standing right next to her as he was still holding the door open and was about to protect the head of Alya who was about to get into the car.
The close enough distance between the two faces inevitably gave rise to a very fine sizzle that left the chest cavity of the two of them and made their gaze locked at the moment Aura was laying her head on Alya's shoulder.
O God, forgive me for being so overwhelmed by my sight of him.
Alya lowered her gaze and quickly got into the car, making Ardi realize and immediately protect Alya's head so as not to stumble on the roof of the car. Then the man immediately followed in through the door on the right.
In the car, Ardi saw Aura had drunk her milk on Alya's lap, with a bottle held by the hijab woman so that the beautiful baby did not choke. Ardi smiled happily at their closeness, and felt sad because tomorrow could no longer enjoy this beautiful togetherness.
I'm definitely going to miss the three of us like this, Al. I hope my wait is not too long so that I can make you happy all the time.
"Alya .. would your sara mind if I asked you not to use Aura's Auntie call anymore?" Ardi started the car engine to regulate the cooling temperature in the room, but did not want to advance it.
"I want you to change your calling to Mother. It will sound more fitting and beautiful to Aura," continued the widower doctor who began to open his heart.
Alya was silent and did not know how to answer. On the one hand he was happy with Ardi's request, yet there were still doubts surrounding his heart.
Do I deserve that call? I'm afraid I won't be able to be what they expect.
Ardi did not want to force Alya. At least he has made his request. Now he can only wait, and hopefully Alya will consider it, because he wants to get used to it going forward.
"We eat first, then I'll take you to the clinic." Ardi prepared to drive forward and took the time to look back at Alya who had nailed her tatspan on Aura's face which began to fall asleep still with the tip of the milk bottle in her mouth.
The woman just nodded and looked like she had a smile that made Ardi smile and then drove the car out to the highway which was quite crowded with traffic.
"Mas, did Doctor Ardi tell you about Doctor Alya? Or maybe her next plan?" asked Nara who accompanied Raga to sleep in their room, after lunch with them.
"No. It was only last night before he hurriedly caught up to the hospital, he wished that it was not too late, that was all he said. I haven't asked him yet, because this morning he went first with Aura to pick up Doctor Alya."
Yoga followed next to Nara, lying down and hugging his wife who was still facing their eldest son. The man had already taken off his shirt and replaced it with a home shirt.
After feeling Raga slumbering like her sister sleeping in a crib, Nara turned around and returned her husband's embrace. Yoga immediately draws the wife's body slowly and brings her into his arms.
"You're not back in the office, are you?" Nara secured her position and closed her eyes without intending to sleep.
"I told you, I miss you, baby." The cold yet gentle man kissed Nara's head and rubbed her hair affectionately, making Nara smile and continue to enjoy the physical closeness between the two of them.
"Then get some rest. Maybe you're too tired to concentrate on your work." Nara looked at her husband's face with the attentive gaze of her pair of clear eyes that were already open again.
"Don't force yourself. I don't want you to get sick, Mom." Nara gently rubbed her husband's cheeks which slightly showed fine hairs on the edges, because it had not been cleaned for several days.
Nara's soft face suddenly turned cloudy as she recalled some of the events that put her husband's life at risk and nearly separated them both. Her clear eyes began to glaze over without taking her eyes off the face of the husband who had returned his gaze with a gaze that was no less sad.
One by one the tears began to drip representing the feelings of Nara's heart that was still worrying about her husband's condition. Slowly Yoga hands outstretched to Nara's wet face and cleared her cries with tender loving gestures.
"I'm fine and I'll always be fine, honey. For the sake of you and our children, I will take better care of myself. I love you and don't want to be separated from you."
