One week after Lili was home. Raihan held an aqiqah event. He invited his family and neighbors to pray for Lili. The event went on smoothly and solemnly.
Lili was so fussy after the aqiqah event was completed. All the family members were quite confused for him because he did not stop crying. Various ways have been tried so that the tiny baby is calm but failed. They changed - instead of holding Lili but nothing managed to calm down.
"Maybe Lili is exhausted ma'am" Simbok told mama Sofia who was also overwhelmed to calm her grandson.
"Have you ever been like this before? Do we just take him to the hospital? Maybe someone is sick" proposed papa Sofia who is worried.
"Assalamualaikum" someone just arrived. Then he went straight to the family room.
"When did you come, brother?" tanya Rainun who noticed Sakha's presence.
"just now. I'm sorry I'm late because there are important things that I have to take care of" Sakha said. "What's wrong? Why is Lili crying like that?" sakha asked who saw the slight commotion and loud cries of Lili.
"He's been crying ten minutes. At first it was just whining after the guests left, over time so it was like it was crying" complained Rainun who was worried about his nephew.
"really?" Ask Sakha. Rainun then brought Sakha to nearby Lili.
"Assalamualaikum uncle's beautiful nephew" Sapa Sakha on Lili who is now in Sofia's arms. Slowly Lili's cry began to subside when she heard Sakha's voice.
"May I carry him, brother?" ask Sakha to Sofia. Sofia nodded and handed Lili to Sakha.
"Sorry, new uncle is coming. Uncle brought a gift that has been promised to Lili. Lili was calm yes, don't cry anymore" Sakha spoke to Lili while fondling her nose. It's magical! Lili fell silent as Sakha petted and spoke to her.
"Are you Lili's handler?" ask Sofia wonder.
"It looks like Lili's waiting for her uncle" said Sofia's mother. Now everyone there was breathing a sigh of relief from Lili's crying that had stopped.
"Did you do magic to my son?" asked Sofia who was still curious.
"Maybe she's waiting for my promise to her" Sakha smiled. He kissed Lili who was in his arms.
"Uncle give to mother yes a gift for Lili" Sakha then gives a pouch to Sofia. The curious Sofia immediately opened the gift.
"Wahh gold necklaces and bracelets" Sofia said. "Thank you so much uncle" he continued.
"Teach me how to calm Lili down, bro. I as her father was a little hurt because Lili was so obedient to you" Raihan chuckled.
"I don't even know why he's this bang. Lili do not fuss anymore yes, uncle has kept the promise of uncle to Lili" said Sakha.
"It seems you have to get married quickly son" said father Sofia who invited laughter. Rainun blushed when she heard the words of Sofia's father.
"You've eaten? Eat first" Raihan said. Sofia then receives the already calm Lili back to her sling.
Rainun then takes Sakha to the dining room. He also brought rice side dishes that were there.
"Well, why is Lili so obedient to you?" tanya Rainun who is now sitting next to Sakha after taking a drink for Sakha.
"Thank you dear" Sakha received the plate containing the food Rainun had brought. "I don't know why she is either" Sakha replied.
"Is it because of the food you always cook for her?" tanya Rainun's. Because during the first trimester almost every day Sofia wants to eat food made by Sakha.
"That's possible. She knows who made the dishes to fulfill her wish" Sakha smiled.
"When did you buy Lili's gift?" tanya Rainun's.
"I just called my mom's jewelry store and they sent it to the apartment" Sakha said. Rainun nodded in understanding.
"Where are you going after this, brother?" tanya Rainun's.
"Not where - where. I'll play with Lili" Sakha replied.
"Lili who was a baby you just played with, now you've forgotten me?" tanya Rainun was sad.
"Is my lover jealous of his nephew?" Sakha smiled.
"Of course, I felt in the duakan" Rainun pursed his lips.
"Well, then, my lover does she want to go with me?" ask Sakha.
"I want to watch a movie in the cinema. There's a new movie coming up that I want to see" Rainun said.
"Have you bought the ticket?" ask Sakha.
"We got a ticket at seventeen minutes in the evening" Rainun said.
"Okay baby, we will leave after the magrib prayer later" said Sakha.
"Then you didn't take a shower this afternoon?" tanya Rainun's.
"Of course I'll take a bath here. I always carry stock of clothes in the car" Sakha replied.
"Ah yes I forgot" Rainun patted his forehead. Sakha then finishes her lunch, after which she heads to the living room to chat with Raihan, mom and dad Sofia.
"Lili's still sleeping?" asked Rainun who went into Lili's room.
"Yes, he was still sleeping after the suckling earlier. It seems like he was really exhausted because many were in the hold during the event" said Sofia.
"What aunty's little girl's pity" Rainun stroked Lili's deeply asleep forehead.
"Why not just take the bedong off?" tanya Rainun's.
"This bed actually helps him sleep better" explained Sofia. Rainun nodded in understanding. They then walked out of Lili's room and joined in the living room to chat together.
That night Sakha left together with Rainun. They watched the movie Rainun had booked his ticket.
"Thank you for accompanying me in between your busy lives, brother" said Rainun.
"I'm sorry, baby, because these endings I'm busier than usual" Sakha stroked Rainun's head. "What do you want to do after this?" ask Sakha.
"I just want to go around with you" Rainun said.
"Alright princess" Sakha smiled. They then walked to the parking lot. Sakha drives the car casually, they stop at a corn and sweet potato shop.
"I want to eat grilled corn. You want?" ask Sakha.
"Of course" replied Rainun.
Trings.....
Sakha's phone rang as they waited for the grilled corn order.
"I'll pick up a phone from Toni, baby" Sakha said. He picked up the phone and spoke to Tony. Sakha's serious face appeared when she heard Toni's words. They talked for about ten minutes, then Sakha stopped her phone connection.
"What's up, brother? Why did your face turn like that?" tanya Rainun was a little worried.
"I have to go to LA in the morning, baby. Maybe it will be a long time, about two or three months" said Sakha.
"Why is it so long?" tanya Rainun's. His face turned sad.
"A lot of chaos because of the insiders there. I have to solve it by knowing who the mastermind is" Sakha's face looked furious. He looked at his girlfriend who looked sad.
"Sorry baby, I promise to be back in time. I'll try to get it done as soon as possible" said Sakha.
"What a hell, brother. Promise me, be careful there and always tell me" Rainun clasped Sakha's hand.
"I promise you dear" replied Sakha.
"Has anyone suspected?" tanya Rainun's.
Sakha nodded. "The marketing director is trying to play it" he continued.
"What's the motive?" ask Rainun who is curious.
"That's what I still have to investigate, baby" Sakha replied.
"Are you with Mr Toni or alone there, brother?" ask Rainun again.
"With Toni alone. I don't want to arouse suspicion when I start the investigation" Sakha replied. Rainun nodded in understanding. They then enjoy the grilled corn that has been served in front of them while chatting casually.
