"What did Juwita do today? He's not making trouble, is he?" ask Jeff when he gets home.
That question Jeff asked someone he believed to be the head housekeeper. Call her Anita, the middle-aged woman Jeff gave the task of making sure no one entered the house without her permission.
"No, Master!" anita answered politely.
"What's wrong with him. Why did he obey today. He didn't do that yesterday, did he?" jeffrey muttered. The man's eyebrows slightly raised. Didn't expect Juwita to be a henchman like this. They almost had a mouth fight yesterday.
"What about Rayyan?" ask Jeff again.
"Eh, Rayyan?" ask Anita. He's a little confused. Who's Rayyan? No one has Rayyan's name in this house. Because of the little baby that was in this house, they all knew his name was Jouvis instead of Rayyan.
"From now on the boy's name was Rayyan not Jouvis. So tell the people at home to stop calling her Baby Jouvis!" jeffrey's orders.
"Oh! B-well, Sir!" answer Anita.
Even though he does not know what the reason for Jeff to change the name, but Anita still obeys Jeffrey's orders. As the oldest and longest working person in the house, he knew that if Jeff had said it, it meant Jeff had his own plan. As for what the reason is, Anita is sure that someday she will also know.
"Where is Rayyan now?" ask Jeff again.
"Rayyan is asleep, sir!" answer Anita.
"Sleep?" ask Jeffrey.
The clock still shows at nine o'clock. Usually Rayyan hasn't slept in hours like this. His two caregivers even had to stay up late to take care of him on a change.
"Sorry, Sir! Rayyan actually slept in Miss Juwita's room tonight. This morning the boy was fussy, but as soon as Miss Juwita took care of him she was obedient" Anita continued.
"Oh!" sahut Jeff brief.
After hearing Anita's answer, Jeff decides to go to Juwita's room. Although Jeff knows Rayyan is not his son and is reluctant to be called papa, but Jeff is still a concern. Not too close, but not so much. Jeff still often monitors his growth and ensures the child grows normally like other children.
"What are you guys doing?" jeff asked as he watched Rayyan's two nannies stand by in front of Juwita's room. Sitting both not far from the door of the room still with his uniform.
"Sir, we're waiting for Baby Jouvis here" replied one of the nannies.
"No need to wait for him. You guys go get some rest!" tell Jeffrey.
"Is this okay, sir?" ask one of the nannies.
"What if Baby Jouvis interrupts Miss Juwita's rest?" ask the other nanny.
The two nannies were a little scared. Although Juwita had asked them to rest but in fact they did not dare to leave. Afraid that Jeff might get angry and fire them for letting Juwita take care of Rayyan.
"If he wakes up, then let Juwita take care of him. One more thing, don't call him Jouvis again. Call him Rayyan from now on" Jeffrey replied.
While Jeffrey, he went straight into Juwita's room. After a tired day struggling with his work outside, coupled with his tiredness over the behavior of his mother, somehow he wanted to see on his return from the routine was Juwita. Miraculously, right after Jeff closed the door a shadow appeared. A woman with a faint face greeted him. Walking towards her by holding a baby whose face was also faint. The woman not only approached, but kissed Jeff by saying 'Jouvis, look! Papa is home!'
"Akh!" jeff complained softly.
Jeff held his head a little sore. Didn't expect that piece of memory to suddenly appear like this?. Jeff who was still standing by holding the door handle immediately looked for a seat to calm down. A faint smile was engraved at the corner of his lips a few seconds later. Not because I remember everything. But it realized something that a piece of his memory he had gotten while he was near Juwita.
"Because it's like this. I'd better be around a lot of times to remember everything, right?" jeffrey muttered to see Juwita who had fallen asleep with Rayyan.
Juwita is sleeping now. He was not not anxious or relaxed when his son was missing. He was just too tired to be born and inner because from morning to noon he kept pacing back and forth while occasionally contacting Grandpa Ham to discuss the search for Jouvis. Juwita only stopped when Rayyan continued to cry and was reluctant to be cared for by her caregiver.
Juwita who had the confidence of her son was carried away by Alan and Caca finally took it. Juwita believes somewhere Alan and Caca have their own difficulties so cannot meet him. And crucially Juwita believes that Alan and Caca must have taken good care of Jouvis given that they have not had children. Well, that's what Juwita thinks right now. So there was no reason to ignore Rayyan. Although her tears kept spilling because of her longing for Jouvis when she saw Rayyan, Juwita strengthened her heart to try to be a good surrogate mother for Rayyan.
Juwita takes care of Rayyan like she takes care of Jouvis. Bathe her, make food for her and spend time with Rayyan. The peak was half an hour ago. A tired Juwita fell asleep shortly after she put Rayyan to bed.
Jeff walked closer. Look at two people who are both asleep. Jeff's smile came back. Then his hand lightly rubbed Juwita and Rayyan's heads in turns.
"I want to sleep with you. May it?" ask Jeffrey.
Sure enough, not long after that Jeff went to his room. Cleaned himself as quickly as possible before going back into Juwita's room.

The clock has shown at eleven o'clock in the evening. More or less Jeff has been lying down since an hour and a half ago. But his eyes were still watching Juwita who was sleeping by hugging her roll. Sometimes his big hands touch that face. Occasionally also plays Juwita's hair strands. But all his movements immediately stopped when he realized Juwita began to move. Jeff closed his eyes. Pretending to sleep so Juwita doesn't kick him out when she realizes there's an intruder in her room.
"I want to pee but lazy," Juwita's mind while stretching her muscles.
Juwita rubbed her eyes a few times. He closed his eyes and hugged Rayyan. But his hand touched Jeffrey's hand which also hugged Rayyan.
"Jeffsa?" juwita Gumam.
A little surprised to see Jeff asleep in his bed. But that doesn't make Juwita angry. Angry for what, Jeff is her husband. Even what Juwita does now is cover Jeff to make sure he stays warm. Had Jeff woken up, Juwita would not have done it. But since Juwita thinks Jeff is sleeping, then just do it. When else can care for Jeff without fear of looking for face other than when Jeff sleeps.
"You must be tired, right, baby?" juwita said with a gentle touch of Jeffrey's face.
The voice was very slow but Jeff could hear it very clearly. Juwita's touch on her cheek also felt warm. It was very eager to touch that hand and hold it but Jeff did not do because Jeff felt the breath of Juwita on his face. More precisely when a kiss landed all over Jeff's face and ended on his lips.
"Good night, honey! I'm sorry I stole your kiss while you were sleeping. That's because I miss you so much!" said Juwita again.
