"Astaghfirullah, why is our son so Bi?" Khalisa exclaimed from the middle room. He was shocked to see Azka was already full of cream cake almost all over her body. Khalisa only left Azka on Azfan for a while but their son was instantly full of cream cake. Are all fathers in this world the same? Azka was noiseless when Khalisa left her to receive a call. Khalisa should be suspicious if Azka did not make a sound because he must have done something big, for example, throwing his body with cake.
Azfan ran in a hurry to hear Khalisa's cry. Unlike the expression Khalisa, Azfan actually laughed at seeing Azka covered in cream cake.
"Why did you let Azka eat her own cake?" Khalisa almost cried seeing his son like that but Azka's innocent expression made him want to laugh. Khalisa was crying and laughing at the same time.
"Sorry sorry." Azfan could not help his laughter.
Azka was confused to see her parents laughing but finally she laughed while patting the chocolate cake in front of her.
"It's hard to tell Bi."
"Umma promised Azka this afternoon." Azfan laughs mischievously.
"Abi deliberately made Azka gini because it's time I bathe?"
"No, I'm just following Azka's will rather than crying."
Khalisa exhaled heavily, Azfan would always obey whatever Azka's will.
"Azka, you still want to eat the cake?" Khalisa sat in front of Azka. "Udah ya, shower the same Umma ya keep the same streets Abi and Akong, yuk." Khalisa held out a hand lifting Azka's petite body.
Azka laughed cheerfully as Khalisa carried her. Azka most like to be invited to take a bath because he can play water and rubber toys with various shapes. Sometimes he cried when Khalisa and Azfan ended the shower.
"It's really good, if Umma won't let you eat your own cake." Khalisa took off Azka's diaper and watered the little one with water little by little. Actually bathing the baby is something fun but this time Khalisa had to smear more soap because the cream of the cake was very sticky.
"Did Mom and Dad come?" Khalisa saw his father and mother in the living room when he finished bathing Azka.
"Azka took a shower!" Daniel kissed Azka's still wet face.
"Amah's most handsome grandson is already fragrant." Ica kissed Azka's hands.
Khalisa glanced at Azfan, they did not know what happened to Azka 15 minutes ago. Fortunately Khalisa hastily bathed Azka, otherwise he would have got angry with his parents for letting Azka eat his own cake.
"Udah dong, Azka wants to wear clothes first, wait for Akong, Ama."
"Yes, Akong wait." Daniel waved to Azka, he could not wait to hold his grandson even though yesterday he and Ica had taken Azka for a day trip with Azmal and Zunaira.
As soon as Khalisa gave the news of her pregnancy, his father and mother flew straight to Sleman. They went to the doctor together. So did Mahira and Kafa. Daniel and Ica are eagerly awaiting the birth of their second grandchild.
This morning Azfan and Daniel were about to go see the building that Azfan would make his calligraphy production site.
"Masya Allah, the son of Umma is very fragrant." Khalisa kissed Azka after she finished dressing him up.
When Khalisa came down to the living room, he saw Daniel was ready to wear Hipseat. Apparently Daniel was afraid first of Azfan to carry Azka.
"We'll wait for Levin's sister for a minute Pa." Tukas Azfan after checking his phone for a while.
"Ko Levin's coming?" Ask Khalisa.
"Yes he and Rindang are already on the road coming here."
Not only Daniel and Ica, Rindang and Levin also want to meet Khalisa in person. Rindang wanted to talk a lot with his best friend after almost a month of not meeting.
"Azfan, soon you will have a second child, this one Papa just brought to Banyuwangi ya." Daniel ruffled Azka's hair with anxiety when Khalisa had combed it just now.
"That can't." Tukas Khalisa, although he must be troubled after the birth of his second child but he will not allow his papa to bring Azka. It never will.
"Ih very stingy, Khalisa used to also often nginep in the house of Akong and Ai before there was Kafa, yes Ma."
"But it's rare that his house is near Pa, so at any time Papa and Mama kangen live on a motorbike only samperin me, so at any time, well if Mas Azfan and I suddenly miss Azka had to buy a plane ticket first."
Daniel chuckled, Khalisa is good at arguing with him.
"Papa lonely at home know not let alone if Mama came home more malem than Papa."
"It's impossible to be lonely as long as there's Zunaira." Khalisa Timpal.
"Want not have another baby?" Daniel asks Ica.
"We're four heads Pa, we can't have another baby." Ica pinched Daniel's arm for teasing him.
A little while later Rindang and Levin came. After a short conversation they left for the city of Yogyakarta. Only Rindang and Khalisa live in the house.
"Ah when else can I fall gini." Khalisa threw his body into the bed, he stretched his hands staring at the ceiling of the room while Rindang took out various snacks that he bought at the minimarket just now. Rindang also bought instant noodles for him to cook with Khalisa.
Khalisa who was enjoying his time staring at the ceiling of the room with an empty mind, glanced at Rindang and then woke up.
"Wish to buy this much food?" Khalisa saw all the shady food coming out of the paper bag.
"I haven't had instant noodles in a long time, last year when the doctor said it wasn't a problem eating once in a while."
"Let's cook." Khalisa jumped out of bed. "Which cooking?" He was confused about choosing instant noodles because everything was delicious.
"Aren't there eggs in the fridge?" Rindang still choose the most spicy noodles especially the weather this morning cloudy.
"There's." Khalisa chose the same noodles as Rindang.
"Sausage?" Rindang wants to add a lot of toppings into his noodles.
"There's vegetables." Khalisa has a lot of groceries because he just went shopping yesterday after coming home from the hospital.
They went to the kitchen to cook noodles. Khalisa also has not eaten instant noodles for a long time because it is not healthy if consumed too often.
"Mother Nadira wants me to make no noodles?" Khalisa asked Nadira who was throwing water from Azka's bath.
"No, I ate chicken porridge just now." Reject Nadira politely. He continued his other work of sweeping and cleaning the floor of the Azka cake.
Khalisa took eggs, sausages and mustard in the refrigerator for a mixture of noodles.
"When I cook gini again, I want to be when we're girls." Rindang suddenly remembered his moment of togetherness with Khalisa. Cooking together used to be common but now it is a special moment. They can't see each other every day anymore.
"Time flies so fast."
"First time in college I said, anyway in the next 4 years I will color my hair twice a week and change my girlfriend once a month uh it turns out I ended up in the arms of a guy who once liked you, my love story plot a really twist."
"I hope Aunt Val will soon approve of your relationship." Khalisa patted Rindang on the shoulder.
That is what is always whispered in every prayer after prayer. For Rindang his happiness will not be perfect without the blessing of Mama Levin. Especially if Valerie knows if Rindang and Levin decided not to have children. Rindang was sure it would be hard to accept. But for now Rindang does not want to think too much about it. Shade cannot fill his brain with bad thoughts.
Khalisa and Rindang sat in the dining room impatiently enjoying their own homemade instant noodles. Before Khalisa put the tablet in front of him, he had promised to make a video call with Naira.
"I'm gonna have to put insulin in before." Shady presses the button on the insulin pump before eating. He almost forgot that because he was too eager to eat noodles that made his mouth full of saliva.
"Assalamualaikum, not the phone?" Khalisa started when Naira's face appeared on her tablet screen.
"Waalaikumussalam, I don't want to wait for your phone."
"What time is it there?" Rindang saw Naira still wearing a face.
"Six o'clock I just finished tilawah."
"You've changed so much lo Nai, so much more beautiful." Praise Khalisa sincerely.
"Aura pregnant women always radiate bright, and you should know that Khalisa is also pregnant." Leafy devoured a spoonful full of noodles, sausages and mustard pieces. It was a spoonful of pleasure that Rindang could not get every day.
"Oh yeah?" Naira looks surprised but the next two seconds he said hamdalah on the sustenance that Khalisa can. "I also want to have many children but this one is still in the stomach."
Khalisa and Rindang laughed, they chatted while eating instant noodles that were quite spicy. Both have a high tolerance for spicy foods.
"You're great Nai can get to this point, I know it's not easy to get pregnant with an incurable disease but you're strong."
"You're also great Rindang, you're amazing."
"Me and my husband agreed to adopt a child later, I'm not as strong as you."
"No, it's okay, don't feel sad about choosing that path, I'm sure you've thought it's mature and don't mind people's comments out there, there's Khalisa who will always support you."
"I'm so grateful to have him in my life." Rindang elbowed Khalisa, wanting to embrace but prestige because Naira would see it.
"You are great, when you first met you just converted, but now Mashaa Allah has Istiqomah veiled."
"Well, now I'm ashamed of him." Khalisa. They will definitely elbow each other until the noodles in the bowl are both gone.
"Oh my goodness, the shell is good, the dalem is still broken."
"Everything starts from the shell, later the floor follows." Timpal Khalisa sage.
Azka is so happy to travel with Akong!
