66. I Love You Too, Brother.

After the event organizer Toriq took Annisa and Rafa to lunch.

“Where are you having lunch?” ask Toriq.

“Nggak Tau, Bang. Annisa is confused,” replied Annisa.

“Rafa want to eat what baby?” annisa asked while caressing Rafa's head.

Rafa who was engrossed in watching the road immediately looked back.

“Ayam kerawuk,” Reply Rafa.

“The cockfighting period continues,” Toriq said as he rubbed Rafa's head.

Toriq drove his car thinking. Until finally Toriq saw the road leads to the Jakarta toll road.

“We go to Jatiluhur. Dining at a floating restaurant, would you?” ask Toriq while looking at Annisa.

“Restaurant is in the middle of the reservoir, Rafa would love to,” Toriq said.

Annise thought for a moment.

“Bby deh, Bang. We also want to invite Rafa to play,” replied Annisa.

“OK,” Toriq leads his car to the toll gate.

After passing the toll gate Toriq car directly drove to Purwakarta.

“Mamah, we want ana?” rafa asked to see the car speeding up.

“We want to go to Jatiluhur, baby,” replied Annisa.

“Let's Rafa take a boat to his restaurant,” Toriq said while focusing on driving his car.

“Acik Rafa by boat,” cheer Rafa overjoyed.

The journey from Padalarang to Purwakarta does not take long, it does not feel the car has led out of the Purbaleunyi toll road. After exiting the toll gate Toriq looking for directions to the Jatiliuhur reservoir. Finally they reached the Jatiluhur reservoir, then Toriq parked his car in a safe place.

“Abang, the backpack is not to stay,” Annisa said.

“Each Bu Boss,” Toriq replied.

“Shortly, don't come down first. Let Brother open the door,” Toriq said.

Annisa waited until Toriq opened the door for her.

“Come down baby,” Annisa said to Rafa.

Toriq guided Rafa down from the car and then Annisa down from the car. Toriq opened the back door and picked up Rafa's bag and backpack. Then they walked towards the reservoir.

“Wah....,” said Rafa with sparkling eyes looking at the expanse of water before his eyes.

“Mamah see a lot,” said Rafa while pointing towards the reservoir.

“Iya dear,” Annisa said while rubbing Rafa's hair.

Toriq took Annisa and Rafa to the boat that was provided for the floating restaurant.

“Mamah we want to ride pebelau?” rafa asked as Annisa held Rafa and walked towards the boat.

“Iya dear,” Annisa replied.

Then Annisa and Toriq got on the boat and sat on the boat. Rafa decides to sit down and Annisa takes Rafa down from her lap and is left to sit alone between Annisa and Toriq.

Rafa was happy when the boat started to go. He saw the view around the boat. After ten minutes they finally arrived at the floating restaurant. Toriq helps Rafa and Annisa get off the boat. Then they walked to the restaurant.

“Mamah see we are above ail,” said Rafa as he pointed around him.

“Iya dear,” Annisa replied.

Toriq chose to sit on the sidelines so that Rafa could freely look into the reservoir.

It seems that taking Rafa to Jatiluhur reservoir is the right decision. Rafa looks so happy. Indeed making Rafa happy is the goal of Annisa and Toriq. Because Rafa is Annisa and Toriq are reunited and because Rafa is also Annisa and Toriq decided to end their single period towards the wedding gate. Allah is the one who has arranged everything by leaving Rafa to Annisa and Toriq, Toriq who makes a living and Annisa who takes care of Rafa. Tears flowed down Annisa's cheeks. Annisa quickly wiped away her tears. But it was too late Toriq and Rafa had come.

“Why you?” ask Toriq who saw Annisa wipe away her tears.

Toriq was sitting in front of Annisa, Rafa was sitting next to Annisa.

“No why-why. These happy tears, Bang,” replied Annisa.

“Are you happy to be married to Abang?” toriq asked half a whisper.

“Very happy, Bang. Annisa has a cute and shole child. As well as having a prospective husband who loves and cares for Annisa,” replied Annisa with half a whisper.

But suddenly a servant came to bring their order. So they have to stop their conversation. Then the waiter placed their order on the table.

“Thank you,” Annisa told the waiter.

“Sama-sama, Bu.”

Then the waiter left.

“Wah...ikan,” said Rafa saw a lot of dishes from fish base ingredients on the table.

“Mamah, Rafa wants to eat cendili fish,” said Rafa.

“Rafa can't eat fish on its own. Later the duration is sluggish,” replied Annisa.

“Later cacit, yes Mamah?” ask Rafa.

“Yes, it will hurt if nelan,” replied Annisa.

Finally Rafa wants to eat fish while being fed to Annisa. After they finished eating they quickly returned to the mainland because Toriq had not yet prayed dzuhur. While Annisa does not pray because she is menstruating. They are looking for a nearby mosque. After arriving at the Annisa mosque waiting for Toriq in the car along with Rafa. When Toriq returned to the car, Rafa was already asleep on Annisa's lap.

“Rafa sleeps, Nis?” ask Toriq.

“Iya, may have been soybean,” replied Annisa while wiping Rafa's hair.

“Annisa,” call Toriq who is looking at Annisa.

“Hmm,” replied Annisa then turned to Toriq.

“I love you,” says Toriq.

Annisa smiled at Toriq's declaration of love.

“I love you too, Brother,” replied Annisa.

Toriq boldly advanced his body and kissed Annisa's forehead.

“Thank you, baby,” said Toriq.

“Sama-sama, Brother,” Reply Annisa.

Annisa knows what Toriq did was wrong because they were not husband and wife yet. But the joy of hearing the statement of love from her future husband makes Annisa resigned to accept it with a flowery heart.

“We look for penghulu, yuk?” bring Toiriq.

“Make what?” ask Annisa confused.

“Abang wants to do Annisa now. I can't wait three more weeks, ” Toriq replied.

Annisa smiled at Toriq's words.

“Propos, yes Bang. Annisa will wait for Brother to come to justify Annisa,” Annisa replied with a smile.

“Thank you, baby,” said Toriq.

“Sama-sama, Brother,” Reply Annisa.

Then Toriq took his car forward and left the courtyard of the mosque. Before returning home Toriq stopped by first to buy satay maranggi for souvenirs from people at home.
