Mother to My Nephew

36. Baby Boy's.

After delivering Rafa home from Toriq hospital, he never contacted Annisa again. Elly's mother didn't say anything about Elly's mother talking to Toriq. It's just that Pomegranate's mother often called Annisa to ask about Rafa's condition. Sometimes Mother Pomegranate video calls Annisa to see Rafa in person. But on Saturday afternoon Toriq called Annisa.

“Assalamualaikum, Annisa.”

“Waalaikumsalam Bang”

“Can't Brother ask for help?”

“Ask what please, Bang?”

“Amani Abang visit brother friend Abang who gave birth.”

“Baleh, Bang. But what about Rafa?”

“Rafa brought only. The room is VVIP really, so free entry.”

“Then Annisa get ready first, Bang.”

“Abang pick up after praying magrib,”

“Good, Bang.”

“Thank you Annisa.”

“Sama-sama, Bang.”

“Assalamualaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam.”

Annisa hung up on me.

Annisa started to get ready to leave. As usual if Annisa went to bring Rafa an Annisa bag full of change of clothes, pospak, small towel, tissue and wet tissue.

“Mamah want ana?” rafa asked seeing Annisa stuffing things into the bag.

“Mamah wants to go with Om Toriq. Want to see ade baby,” replied Annisa.

“Rafa icut,” says Rafa with whining.

“Iya, Rafa is coming with Mamah,” Annisa replied while wiping Rafa's hair.

“Now Rafa eats first, yes,” Annisa told Rafa.

“Yes,” replied Rafa got out of bed and followed Annisa out of the room to the dining room.

Annisa was combing her hair suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the bedroom door.

“Ya,” replied Annisa while opening the door.

“There is Bang Toriq below,” says Roland.

Roland saw that Annisa and Rafa were already dressed neatly.

“Where are you going?” ask Roland.

“You look at her friend Bang Toriq's sister who just gave birth,” replied Annisa while taking a bag and sling cloth placed on the bed.

“Come Rafa we go,” Annisa calls Rafa who is sleeping in bed.

Rafa hurriedly got out of bed and approached Annisa.

“Rafa where are you going? Rafa do not come, small children are prohibited from entering the hospital,” Roland said.

Rafa hugged Annisa.

“Rafa wants icut Mamah,” said Rafa while whining.

“Iya, Rafa's coming with Mamah,” Annisa replied.

“Rafa at home is the same Enin, the same Aki and the same Om Roland,” Roland said.

Hearing Roland's words, Rafa immediately cried.

“Hengnggngg…..Rafa wants to sue Mamah,” said Rafa while crying.

“Ah….Aa mah, so cry Rafanya,” said Annisa with annoyance.

“Cup...cup..honey, yes Rafa is with Mamah,” Annisa said while rubbing Rafa's hair.

“Let's go down, pity Om Toriq has been waiting for a long time,” Annisa lead Rafa towards the bottom floor.

In the living room there was Mother Elly and Mr. Supardi who were accompanying Toriq. When Annisa comes all turn to Annisa and Rafa.

“Rafa where are you going?” ask Mr. Supardi.

“You saw the baby dede,” replied Rafa.

“Rafa is crying, Nis?” asked Elly's mother to see Rafa who was crying.

“Ua's habit, Aa Roland bothers Rafa constantly,” replied Annisa.

“Indeed, young children should not come to the hospital,” Roland said.

“Boyeh,” says Rafa.

“Ngak,” reply Roland.

“Mamah Om Lolang naughty,” Rafa whining.

“Aa..!” annisa exclaimed while glaring at Roland.

“It's fast there go, later night hunt,” said Mr. Supardi.

“Toriq excuse me, Om Aunt. Assalamualaikum,” by Toriq.

"Waalaikumsalam, be careful on the road,” said Mr. Supardi.

Toriq carried Rafa to the car and opened the car door for Annisa. After Annisa got into the car, Toriq dropped Rafa off in Annisa's lap. After closing the door next to Annisa, Toriq got into the steering car. Then the car driven by Toriq left the yard of Mr. Supardi's house.

Along the way Toriq was more silent. While Rafa was busy pointing in all directions and asking all sorts of questions to Annisa. Annisa glanced at Toriq like Toriq was thinking a lot because from now on it was just silent.

Soon they arrived at the hospital. Rafa was so enthusiastic when he got to the hospital.

“Wait a minute, let Brother open the door,” Toriq said as Annisa was about to get off the car.

Toriq got down first from the car and opened the door next to Annisa. Toriq held Rafa from Annisa's lap and waited patiently until Annisa got out of the new car to close the car door. Annisa and Toriq walk side by side leading to VVIP maternity hospitalization.

Toriq knocked on the door of the inpatient room. A young man opened the door.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Toriq.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied the young man.

“Can we see Poppy?” ask Toriq to the young man.

“Oh may, please come in,” replied the male kindly.

Toriq went inside along with Annisa and Rafa.

“Please sit down,” says the man.

Toriq and Annisa were sitting on the sofa. A beautiful hooded woman was sitting on the patient's bed. Toriq looked at the woman with a hard to interpret gaze. Annisa felt that there was something between Toriq and the woman. Annisa just kept quiet looking at it all. But Rafa can not be silent because he can not wait to see the baby.

“Om, where's the baby dede?” ask Rafa.

“Oh...want to see baby sister? Here...,” said the beautiful woman while calling Rafa.

“Cama Mamah look at it,” says Rafa with spoiled.

“Iya, Mamah befriended,” Annisa immediately stood up and led Rafa to the baby box.

Because the baby box is a bit high, Annisa has to hold Rafa. Rafa looks happy to see the baby.

“Mamah, dede baby lutu her cheeks end,” Rafa chirped.

“Iya,” Annisa replied.

“When gave birth to her, Ma'am? Annisa asked the woman.

“So noon,” replied the woman.

“The baby is male or female, Ma'am?” ask Annisa.

“Male,” replied the woman.

“His baby sister is a boy,” Annisa said to Rafa.

“Belalti boy like Rafa,” babble Rafa.

“What's his name, Mah?” whiskey Rafa.

“Same aunty dong,” says Annisa.

“Tante why is his dedenya name?” rafa asked the woman.

“Name is Firas Randi Rahardian,” replied the woman.

“The name is badus, yes Mamah,” Rafa told Annisa.

“Rafa, have you seen the baby? It's night we go home, yuk,” Toriq call Rafa.

“Ntal duyu, Om. Rafa still wants to see the baby dede,” replied Rafa who did not want to move from the baby box.

Toriq approaches Annisa.

“Baby boy, yes the baby?” ask Toriq to Rafa.

“Iya. Lutu Om, cheeks enut,” said Rafa.

“Rafa, we go home, yuk. It's night, Om and Tante want bobo,” Toriq persuaded Rafa.

“But the puyangnya buy baby boy, yes Om,” said Rafa.

“Iya, but later yes if Rafa is big,” Toriq replied while stroking Rafa's hair.

“Now Rafa said the same Om and Auntie,” said Annisa then lowered Rafa.

Rafa approached the woman and kissed her hand.

“Tante, Rafa puyang duyu's. Acalamualaikom,” says Rafa.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied the woman.

Rafa approached the young man and kissed his hand.

“Om, Rafa puyang duyu's. Acalamualaikom,” says Rafa.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied the man.

“We excuse us, assalamualaikum,” Toriq said and led Rafa out of the room.

“Assalamualaikum,” said Annisa then followed Toriq from behind.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied the man and woman.
