Raffa returns home to the hospital at ninepm and sees his mother enveloping the sleeping Alif.
"Where is Alif mah?" tannya
"Alhamdulillah Alif has improved maybe tomorrow afternoon can go home, he just slept after seeing his favorite cartoon"
"Mama eat, Raffa bought rice and this snack "he gave a plastic bag of food to his mother. "Let's go home, let me take care of sister"
"Mama is not hungry" he said, making two cups of tea. "Drink son" he thrust towards his son.
The aroma of warm tea is striking in his sense of smell, the distinctive fragrance of the blend between jasmine tea is very soothing.However, unlike his current heart which is so heavy to say about his engagement with Kinan.
He approached his mother who was sitting on the sofa, "Mah, there's something Raffa wants to say"
"What's Nak about?" he clasped his son's hand, put his hand on his cheek. "Ah... This hand was very small, now it is this big" he said with a smile.
"Well, A. I want to propose to Kinan before I go far" he said fearfully.
Navysah turned her eyes in disbelief at what she heard.
"What son, try to say it again" he said as he looked at his eldest son's eyes intensely to find seriousness there.
"Raffa wants to apply for Kinan next week before going to the UK" he said.
"Why?, What happened?, Why did you change your mind to apply for Kinan, please tell mama now"
"There is no reason to reject Kinan mah, she is a kind and sincere girl.He is very affectionate with mom and sisters, she is, Raffa asked mom to prepare everything for our simple engagement and only invite close family. Mama's blessing us, right?"
" Mama bless you boys"he stroked her son's bushy hair. "Are you sure of your decision?" ask again.
Raffa leaned his head on his mother's shoulder, smelling her scent that always made her calm and comfortable.
" I'm sure mah" he said. "You don't have to worry, I'll take responsibility for my decision"
"Have Istikharah prayed for God's guidance?" ask Navysah
"It's a big deal, and Raffa believes it's the best way" he said
"Well, if you're sure" he said "Ah. Wherever Mama goes always take you, Mama work you always invite because mama can not be far from you but soon you will apply for girls people and study abroad. Is Mama willing to stay away from you son" he said with tears.
"Well.., Raffa's college isn't gone forever. Mama does not need to worry, if Raffa college holiday will return to Indonesia. And Mama here won't be lonely because there's Kinan and the sisters." He hugged his mother from the side, trying to comfort her so as not to be sad even though she was also heavy away from the mother.
" When Raihan's father died you were the only child, Mama looked after you like a diamond for fear of losing you. Sorry if mama is too excessive, now is the time for you to fly high to achieve what you want to achieve. Mama won't stop you anymore. Mama pray you are always healthy and successful do not forget to pray, mama is proud to have a child like you who is obedient and good Raff "
" Raffa is also proud to have a parent like Mama who is always there for her child, always giving us all the affection and always listening to our stories. Thank you very much mah, Raffa dear mama" she kissed her mother's forehead.
"Mama also loves Raffa". He cried happily to see his son now growing up and taking responsibility." You look so much like Raihan's father who is so patient and kind, Kinan must be so happy to be with you. The spoiled one likes you a long time ago and now mama is happy, later Kinan will become mama's daughter-in-law. She's a chatty, nice girl"
"Cerewet and like to eat kayak mama but still skinny, hehehe "jawed Raffa
"Ah.., you used to be chatty.Everything you see is always asked to many people who like you. I don't know since when you became quiet like this" said Navysah, he had long not joked with his eldest child because he was busy taking care of the twin doubles.
"Since my mother was pregnant, my sisters, I was not attentive. Mom's time is divided for them and I always give in. Alif and Fafa have been two years eh, pregnant mama again the princess twins. It's a whole lot to remember that. Where the Fafa can not be diem, but I'm happy to have many younger sisters who are funny and beautiful especially when they are fives gemesin really.And now they will take care of my mother when I go later. "
" I'm sorry mama, son, you're always left out. "he said
" No need to apologize, that's normal. Mama is also having trouble keeping them, even though there are baby sitter mama always make them to always be close to mama" he said, he smelled his mother's scent back and felt calm "The aroma of mama always makes me calm, she said, it's nice to kiss your armpits but if Davian's dad knows we're quality time like this he's jealous, hehehe. Daddy's funny ya mah already old jealous especially because I look so much like the late Father Raihan"
"I know it's mah". And all night they spent talking. They don't want to waste their opportunities.
~Kinan ~
He came home happy after Raffa said he would propose to him. He told Mr. Jenal to put up a painting in the family room.
He was sleepy in his room because he waited for his parents to come home from work, feeling tired all day because he was forced to keep Alif because he wanted to immediately tell the good news about him. At exactly eight o'clock the two parents returned home with tired faces.
He heard a noise and rushed out to meet his parents.
"Dad... Mama! " he ran in a hurry to hit the guest table.
"What the hell Nan, do not run later fall" said Ifa, he saw his daughter smiling widely and not paying attention to the pain that was usually felt when Kinan hit the table.
"Dad, Mama, Kinan will be proposed Raffa mah. Next week before he goes to England" he said breathlessly. But his parents looked at each other and felt something strange. They know Raffa only considers his son as a sister no more.
"Kok even diem anyway..!" cebik Kinan, "Mah, your son will be proposed. Raffa Raihan's room" he said back
"Alhamdulillah" said Shafiq
" Kok Raffa can change his mind to propose to you" said Ifa, "You are not anyone he is Nan, replied Mama" asked Ifa, he was very afraid his son did something forbidden.
"What does mama mean? Why-what-what?" he asked innocently, he did not understand the direction of his mother's conversation.
"Yang.." Shafiq rebuked his wife.
"What a heck mas.!, in reply, he pursed his lips." Kinan, you didn't do anything forbidden with Raffa right? You're still a virgin "he's shaking his son's shoulders.
" Mah, what the hell are you talking about. I'm sure Raffa wouldn't do something like that. He's a good kid, like you just knew him and his family yesterday. Remember!, he's a Navysah child who was guarded with all his heart and raised with affection, how could he be like that" Shafiq.
"Mas, his name is also an invisible demon. They could have been khilaf, just look at the January sholeh child but it's also the same boyfriend married by accident"
Kinan just grumbled a smile seeing his parents feud, there was a malicious intention to prank his parents.
" Raffa said he would go far away sometime to go home" he said, pretending to be sad, "So he took me to the hotel" he said. Ifa widened her eyes but Shafiq did not budge. " We were both there, just the two of us back then." he lowered his head as if feeling regretful.
"Min...!!" yelled Ifa, "Well what happened? you are Raffa Hah.!, Raffa maksa you, yes. Tell the truth the same mama "excited Ifa with a high tone.
"Raffa.. Raffa.. hiks.." he showed his sad face. " Raffa's people want to pee and he also want to love the painting, hehehe" he pointed to the painting that was installed on the wall of the family room.
"Min...!!" yelled Ifa, "how dare you play mama". And Shafiq just laughs to see the two women he loves are now chasing each other.
"Out of the mind mama is not clear, the time in that direction continues. Raffa can't be that big"
"What your son said, Look Kinan naked is not necessarily Raffa interested" Shafiq teased with a smile.
"Dad...!!, what a bad boy he said" he grumbled. "Do'ain napa well let Raffa love die with Kinan and we live happily" he hung his lips and hugged his father tightly
"Yes, I do'ain so you'll always be happy with Raffa" she gently stroked Kinan's hair.
Kinan recounts that Raffa wanted a simple engagement event just the closest family.
"What's the reason the boy proposed to my son when he didn't love him, I have to do something" he murmured inwardly
Shafiq listened to Kinan's every word, "What does Raffa really want?" he murmured in the heart. He does not want to misstep and get his son trapped in unrequited feelings of love.
