LOVE STORY OF AZZAHRA

What Are You Looking for Rama?

" Mom, why at every birthday Rayya, family photos of Om Ricky with Aunt Anin, Brother Rama never existed, Mom? Is it just Sis Arka and Thalita?" rayya asked astonished when paying attention to the album of Rayya's birthday photos every year that are still stored neatly.

" Oh, that's .. if Aunt Anin says he said Kak Rama is ashamed to have to come to the birthday of a child." Azzahra recalled what Anindita had said on Rayya's first birthday about seven years ago.

" Rama's sister is so nice, Mom?"

Azzahra who was changing the bandage on Rayya's knee immediately glanced at his son who was smiling when he understood the figure of the child of his best friend.

" Because it helped Rayya?" asked Azzahra because he had never seen his son mention let alone admire the figure of another boy besides Alden, his cousin.

Rayya quickly nodded her head.

" Oh yeah, Mom. Is Rayya the same Kia is still a brother with Brother Rama huh, Mom? Like Rayya and Alden?" Rayya suddenly remembered the words of Ramadan to his friend who had said that he and Azkia were sisters of Ramadan.

" No, Rayya. Mom Rara and Aunt Anin were already good friends, as Mom Rara was friends with Auntie Tata and Auntie Rania." Azzahra.

" Auntie Tata is Mom's brother, not a friend!" rayya's protest was quick to make Azzahra chuckle.

" Auntie Tata is Mom Rara's brother and friend. Well, if Daddy Gavin's the same as Ricky, they're business partners, honey."

" What's that business partner, Mom?" Rayya's forehead is wrinkled.

" Business partners are like friends but in business."

" Well, Mom?" Rayya nodded her head.

" Yes, my dear."

" Hmmm, if Rayya wants to be friends with Brother Rama can't you, Mom?" ask Rayya later.

" It may be, but Rayya's a girl while Kak Rama is a boy, after all Rayya and Kak Rama's different schools. Brother Rama is in eighth grade, Rayya is in second grade." Azzahra gave understanding to Rayya

" So Rayya met with Kia and Fa alone who were fellow women." Azzahra.

" But Kia at school was happy to play with the boys, Mom. Sometimes if Rayya plays with friends who Kia women like do not want, Mom." Rayya told her cousin's habits.

" Maybe it's because Kia likes karate so she likes to play with boys."

" Mom, Rayya also wants to learn karate like Kia dong, Mom."

" Study karate?" Azzahra scrunched his forehead.

" Yes, be great like Kia. Let's just say if there's a bad boy like Rayya then Rayya kicks the bird."

" Athaghfirullahal! Rayya can't talk like that! Can't use violence, honey." Azzahra was suffocated when she heard Rayya's speech.

" But Kia said that if there was a boy who bothered to kick the bird it would immediately lose." Rayya relayed what he heard from Akzia.

" No, Honey. Mom Rara didn't love Rayya permission to do that, yeah!" Azzahra warned his son.

" But Kia said ...."

" Relance ..." Both hands of Azzahra touched Rayya's shoulders. " It's not all that others do that we should follow. We must be able to choose whether it is good or not to be imitated. Rayya understands what Mom Rara said?"

" Yes, Mom." Rayya nodded her head in understanding.

" Baby, why are you walking like that, honey?" asked Gavin who saw Rayya walking in limp as they were about to have dinner.

" So Rayya fell in school.." Azzahra answered Gavin's question to his son.

" Mr ..." Rayya turned to Azzahra because he had asked Azzahra not to tell Gavin about it.

" Falls? Baby must be running around?" Gavin got up from his seat and walked over to his daughter. " Where's it hurting, Baby? Here Daddy look." Gavin then pulled up the chair next to his daughter.

" What hurts? What bleed? Is it treated right away?" Gavin seems worried about noticing the bandage wrapped in Rayya's knee that has been replaced by Azzahra.

" It's been replaced by Mommy, Dad. Rayya was also helped by Kak Rama kok, Dad." Rayya told him about the help that Ramadan had given him.

" Rama? Ramadan means Baby?" ask Gavin to make sure.

" Daddy, don't call Baby-baby hold dong, Dad! Rayya's not a baby anymore. Well, Rashya deserves to be called baby." Rayya protested against Gavin still calling her baby despite being eight years old. He then pointed to his two-year-old sister who was walking closer to Azzahra.

" Make your Daddy that will forever be Daddy's little daughter, won't change." Gavin reasoned while stroking his daughter's head.

" But Rayya's ashamed of being called that way now, Dad. Especially if Kia hears, Rayya will definitely be treated with Kia." Rayya.

" You embarrassed? Are you ashamed to look like someone if Daddy loves you so much?" ask Gavin. " Baby should be happy because not all children are as lucky as you. There are children whose parents are busy working without caring for their children so lack of affection despite their lives are adequate." Gavin tried to give his son some understanding.

" Sus, this is Rashya please take care of it first." Then Azzahra told the baby sitter to take care of her youngest child because she would accompany Gavin and Rayya to dinner.

***

" Your son has become increasingly critical of his thinking. She can already protest against what she doesn't want, Honey" Gavin said as she walked into the room and approached Azzahra, who was removing her hijab.

" Rayya's not just my son, but Hubby's son, too." Azzahra. Azzahra has now changed his call to Gavin since Rayya began to speak

" You're right, Honey. Baby it's the result of our collaboration." Gavin now hugged Azzahra from behind.

" Honey, do you want us to have another child?" Now Gavin kissed the Azzahra neck niche.

" Rashya was a kid, By." Azzahra held back the sparks of the gaz*irah that Gavin began to blow.

" Rashya has already taken off ASI, right? We can hire another baby sitter to take care of Rashya."

" Not now, By. Just wait another year or two." Azzahra offers an offer when to start the pregnancy program again.

" Yes already then." Gavin's hand now went into the top pajamas of Azzahra and cupped the two parts of his favorite twins.

" By, it's ah, I'm in a hitch ..." Azzahra brushed off the hand of her husband who was playing his twin pinnacle.

" Obstacles? Didn't you just pray Maghrib, Honey? Do you want to lie to me like you used to?" gavin asked looking suspiciously.

" Oh my God, By. I actually just got my period." Azzahra now turned her body and now faced her husband.

" Geez, Honey. It's Friday night, why don't you postpone the moon's guest first." Gavin ducked down and put his forehead on Azzahra's shoulder making Azzahra chuckle.

" Oh my goodness, By. I'm not used to fasting, deh." Azzahra chuckled as she rubbed her husband's head.

" You've made me crazy, Honey. You've become a palanquin to me." whispered Gavin bit Azzhara's ear lobe.

" It's been ah, By. Don't keep flirting." Azzahra hurriedly moved away from her husband to stop him.

The final lesson bell rang making most of the students scattered outside their respective classes including Rayya and Azkia

" Sister Alden is not out of class yet, is he?" ask Rayya.

" Yes, let's just wait in the car, yuk!" bring Azkia.

" Come ..." Rayya also followed Azkia's steps towards Mr. Hasan's car.

As she exited the gate, Rayya looked towards the Ramadan school opposite her school.

" Kia, Brother Rama has gone home yet, huh?" rayya asked Azkia because she did not see the Junior High children scattering out of the school building.

" Where does Kia know ... Kia is not the same class as Kak Rama, the school is also different," said Azkia. " Why did Rayya ask Kak Rama? Hayooo ... Rayya likes Rama, huh? Iiihh .. a child should not be boyfriends, tauuu!"

" Iiihhh .. What the hell, Kia? Who's dating? Rayya, just ask." Rayya dismissed Azkia's assumption that she likes Ramadan.

" Why did Rayya look for Rama?" asked Azkia to look around.

" Rayya just wanted to thank Kak Rama for helping Rayya yesterday." Rayya reasoned.

" But Rayya said thank you yesterday, right?" Azkia starts to get suspicious of Rayya's reasoning.

" It's okay, isn't Rayya saying thanks again? Mommy Rara said we must remember the kindness of others who have helped us, Kia." Rayya still keeps on tickling.

" Yes, but don't have to say thank you all the time, too!" Azkia rolled her eyeballs.

" I'm sorry if Rayya likes Rama!" ledek Azkia.

" No, Kia!! Rayya does not like Brother Rama ...!!" denying Rayya was quick while Azkia ignored Rayya's rebuttal making Rayya snort annoyed.
